I’m confused. I’m CD12 and seeing EWCM like I would just before ovulation. OPK are negative.

I have ovulated day 21/22 for six cycles now and it was the same before my baby.

guess we will have to DTD lots jyst to be sure we don’t miss a window!

Daniki · 30/04/2023 15:35

@buckingmad let us know how ya get on! I always say Il leave it as late as possible but I know rightly Il be testing early cuz I have heaps of cheapies too 😂

mummytoone28 · 30/04/2023 16:57

Does anyone else ovulate later in their cycle, been testing since CD8 and I usually ovulate on CD13 but I'm on CD15 and still no peak so starting to worry it's not going to happen this month!?

buckingmad · 30/04/2023 17:42

@mummytoone28 i ovulate cd18-23 but always have a luteal phase of 14 days after ovulation

ddaisynner · 30/04/2023 18:10

Hi girls hope you don't mind me joining :) currently 6dpo in the ttw and got my peak 23/04. Trying not to pee pm cheapies lmao 🤣 but super sore breasts

Baby dust for all I hope 2024 is our year 🤞💛

Kiwiburgh · 30/04/2023 18:56

@buckingmad I'm currently 2dpo but I'll try and hold out untill 11dpo. I'll probably give in at 9 though... I usually do lol.

buckingmad · 30/04/2023 19:07

So I tested just now cause I have no will power 🫠 and got a faint line on a cheapy. DH doesn’t understand the world of faint lines and until he sees a digital he doesn’t think it’s positive 😂 so please tell me you can see the second line! I’m 9dpo. I’ve done about 50 of these tests and never got a squint of a line so I’m hopeful it’s not an indent. I saw it within a few minutes and it has colour.

@buckingmad seen it straight away didn't have to squint! 😍 tentative congrats ❤️

Daniki · 30/04/2023 19:23

@buckingmad there's colour to it so doubt an indent x

buckingmad · 30/04/2023 19:27

@Daniki thank you! You know when you wonder if your eyes are imagining it. It’s also a bit fainter on the photo than in real life. I’ve had bad heartburn which is always my first sign.

We had a miscarriage a couple of months ago so no doubt once this initial elation wears off I’ll be a bundle of anxiety and nerves but for now I’m going to make a cup of coffee (decaf!) and enjoy the moment whilst DH wrestles toddler out of the bath and into bed 😂

Daniki · 30/04/2023 19:56

Absolutely try and enjoy it, hate the anxiety that comes with it! But you have to remember that most women have a successful after loss so positive vibes for your rainbow baby 😍 🌈 xx

Aquarius93 · 30/04/2023 20:08

Just catching up on the posts. Sorry to everyone who’s had the disappointment of AF arriving!

I've realised I can never get very active on these threads because I spend so long waiting for ovulation so there’s never much for me to update on! CD21 today and still no peak. Keeping my fingers crossed as I have EWCM etc. I’ve also come down with a cold but hoping that won’t put my husband off too much.

@buckingmad I’d be happy with that line for 9dpo! Tentative congratulations!

ddaisynner · 30/04/2023 20:15

Congrats @buckingmad that's defo a bfp 🎉💛 didn't even need to squint 🎉💛

thecoffeerun · 30/04/2023 20:22

Hi everyone, it's so nice to read through all your comments so I don't feel completely crazy as no one in my RL knows we're trying to conceive so I can't vent to anyone.

This is our first cycle ttc but I've been tracking my cycles since January as we knew we were going to start in April.

I'm only 2dpo or 3dpo and I'm driving myself insane I never thought I'd get like this I'm usually a very calm rational person. I got so angry at myself yesterday because I spent the day gardening and lifting heavy bags of compost and plant pots and convinced myself that will prevent implantation, and I've just been for a run and am now beating myself up again thinking if I do have a fertilised egg in there I've probably jiggled it about too much now for it to implant 😅

Any tips on not going mad during the tww would be much appreciated x

buckingmad · 30/04/2023 20:26

@Aquarius93 thank you, I’m pretty happy with it! I also have long cycles, I tend to ovulate day 18-23. I prefer the TWW to the wait for ovulation!

buckingmad · 30/04/2023 20:30

@ddaisynner thank you!

Beth191 · 30/04/2023 20:44

AF is 2 days late so far but had bfn yesterday morning then again this afternoon, why do our bodies do this to us?? I think I must have ovulated later than usual but my cycles have been 27-28 days for ever and currently on CD30, feels so unfair that I'm not pregnant!

Aquarius93 · 30/04/2023 21:03

@buckingmad I feel the same! It seems I have a shorter luteal phase too (10 days) so the TWW is always shorter for me that the wait for ovulation!

RG9895 · 30/04/2023 21:24

Hi! Do you guys think these are positive or indents? Ive done a digital and it said not pregnant. Am I just too early?? Hate the unknown please help! My fingers and toes are crossed for it to be true! Thank you 💕

Aquarius93 · 30/04/2023 21:34

@RG9895 I would be surprised if you got that many indents! Assuming the lines appeared within the timeframe, I would take them as positives! Congratulations!

Was the digital with first urine? My last pregnancy, I had a negative digital but positive when I used the first urine the next day.

@buckingmad congratulations!

@Aquarius93 I also have a long cycle and feel like I spend all my time waiting for ovulation - usually day 20-22 ish. And I had a short luteal but it’s lengthened since I started taking vit B6.

RG9895 · 30/04/2023 21:45

@Aquarius93 thank you! I thought that too but I just dont believe it! 🥹🥹

@HavinKittens no, only done the digital an hour or so ago. I have another one to do first thing in the morning! Hopefully it shows 🤞🏻 thanks!

HavinKittens · 30/04/2023 21:46

@RG9895 I think they’re all showing as positive. I’m sure the digital will be positive tomorrow.

ddaisynner · 30/04/2023 22:41

That defo looks positive congrats @RG9895 👏 💛🎉 digital need more hcg to say positive so it might need a couple more days to catch up to the other tests

RG9895 · 30/04/2023 22:46

@HavinKittens I hope so! ☺️

@ddaisynner thank you!! If its not positive tomorrow ill get another and leave it a week!
