Hi all, sorry I’ve been so MIA, CD10 here should be fertile in 2/3 days. How is everyone doing?

ll1988 · 27/07/2023 20:45

@Ncl31 im sorry you’re feeling so rubbish, I really hope this is a positive sign for you 🤞

HelloMoon87 · 27/07/2023 21:35

@ll1988 is it dpo 1 for you? How old is your son/daughter?
I'm also doing acupuncture and reflexology. Started last cycle. I don't think acupuncture makes me relax if I'm honest, I'm a bit scared of needles, but I fell asleep for an hour during reflexology.
Good luck to us!

@BlossomTree123 hey, I remember we were close in cycle days before, I’m CD7 today so not long to wait. Im going to try and be more relaxed this month but we’ll see how it goes haha!

missmae · 27/07/2023 22:54

@HelloMoon87 eee hoping this is your month! I’ve dtd cd12 today (cd13). Will probably do it again cd15. I normally ov cd15/16 so we will see. Just using opks at the moment but I am taking a more relaxed approach this time and deffo not going to symptom spot and go insane like last cycle lol. But yeah I’m sure I’ll be back here and more talkative next week with you when the dreaded 2WW begins😂

longingtobe23 · 27/07/2023 23:16

Posted this earlier in the totally wrong thread oops:

Hey all I got a high reading on a OPK today - and some mild cramps, fair amount EWCM … much earlier than I usually do 🤷🏼‍♀️

but here we go I guess just hope we don’t start DTD too early and run out of steam 🥲

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 07:30

Morning ladies, I think I am approx 9dpo obviously I’ve had to test…. Can you guys see what I can 👀
it is really such a squinter.. I saw on the cheap test a shadow first then I did a first response but it is not the early one!! The silly ones from Amazon.
trying to not get my hopes up/going mad but hard after my miscarriage May/June time. The first response is more pink when I shine the light.

@HelloMoon87 @BlossomTree123 @missmae I’m soooo jealous,,, still stimuli on last month ,,, cd 39 good luck to you all -
I did a test yesterday and bfn gave up on temps had drop thinking ov then drop for af but it didn’t come !!! Had a couple of occasions where slight pink cm but only noticed as symptom spotting and I think I’ve dtd soooooo many times this cycle it’s normal lol xx

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 07:38

@Ecgx i can definitely see something! My eyes aren’t the best at this sort of thing but I can see it.
fingers crossed it progresses for you. Where are you going to retest?

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 07:42

@Ncl31 thank you!! My husband said he can see it too but I was like I’ve got to ask the experts! I am going to retest Sunday as it’s normally the 48 hours to double isn’t it! Hopefully I will see a stronger line I will get some more sensitive tests as well x

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 07:58

@Ecgx yes I think they say 48 hours. How exciting!
i dreamt all night last night that I’d get a BFP this morning; alas I did not. Not giving up hope it’s just yet as I’m 10DPO, this is my first cycle I’ve ovulated in 4 months with PCOS.
I’m think I’m just scared that I be wrong ovulate again for another few months.
Anyway, it will be what it will be.

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 08:08

@Ncl31 aww I really hope you get a BFP there is still plenty of time as 10 dpo is still early! I got early faints with my first so maybe I am just one of those people with higher hcg etc. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!! X

BlossomTree123 · 28/07/2023 08:16

@cosymama2020 yes i remember we were close!! I am due to ovulate next tue/wed so we will see. I am doing opk so will be able to check!

@missmae im going to take a more relaxed approach, I drove myself mad last month, but we will see how I am when 2WW starts 😂

@Ecgx looks positive to me!!

@Tes004 so strange, are your cycles normally this long? Could it be you ovulated later and haven’t detected HCG yet?

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 08:22

@BlossomTree123 thank you!! Going to get some more sensitive tests ready for Sunday x

Tes004 · 28/07/2023 09:18

@Ecgx I can see something 👀 exciting times !!

longingtobe23 · 28/07/2023 09:23

@Ecgx yesss I see some! Always tentative now but amazing 🤞🏻✨

HelloMoon87 · 28/07/2023 10:04

So I've got this and a smiley on clearblue. I think I'll dtd twice today and tomorrow, would that cover it?

I'm guessing I'm ovulating today/tomorrow? 2 days early here

@Ecgx I definitely see it! Tentative congrats, hope it progresses nicely. Please keep us updated! I love this positive news 💚

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 10:10

@Tes004 @longingtobe23 @HelloMoon87 thank you ladies, yes tentatively for now but fingers crossed we have a sticky baby coming along! I will keep you posted x

Ncl31 · 28/07/2023 10:25

@HelloMoon87 id be doing the OPKs every time you pee to see if you can pinpoint your peak on those.
but as a general rule yes I’d say you should cover it.

BlossomTree123 · 28/07/2023 10:47

@HelloMoon87 so is that saying your peak was yesterday? Meaning ovulation today? I’m leaving opks so want to learn for my upcoming

longingtobe23 · 28/07/2023 10:53

@HelloMoon87 how strange I think we were saying our cycles were similar and I am also getting stronger OPKs earlier than normal!

I usually do as above said, test morning, midday then evening when I see it rising to see if it keeps jumping and I don’t miss the peak
and yes DTD two days but keep testing until it drops down!
I usually get my Peak before bed ✨🤞🏻
Good luck!

missmae · 28/07/2023 10:58

@Ecgx deffo can see something! hoping it progresses for you!🙏🏼

@Tes004 i am thinking maybe you ovulated later than normal as well?🤔

@BlossomTree123 i honestly did the same, I think it’s because my sister also found out she was pregnant last cycle so I was so excited to be pregnant with her! I HAVE to be more relaxed this month I actually did go insane lool.
I will most likely deffo update on symptoms but as far as testing, I am waiting until af Is due! 😂which would be a couple days before my birthday 😄

missmae · 28/07/2023 11:00

@HelloMoon87 your test from today is just a tad darker than mine from this morning I’m expecting my peak tomorrow! I would deffo dtd from now! 🤞🏼

Ecgx · 28/07/2023 11:10

Thank you @missmae i will deffo update the thread x
