Hi ladies
Lets join the party for all Aug ttc girls

So I was using wondfu opk and saw the line getting darker over a few days. Then the clearblue digital showed a flashing smiley 2 days ago along with wondfu opk showing a darker line but not as dark as the test line.
Yesterday I got a flashing smiley again but wondfu opk line was very very faint!!! How could that be. I tried again later in the day and same thing. Did I miss the surge???

Are you testing am and pm? Or just once a day? I find the strips a bit hit and miss with the level of darkness until it's a full positive.

I got my first flashing smile of this cycle yesterday and I'm so impatient for a solid now

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m in cycle #2 of ttc baby #2. First time ever using OPK’s this cycle so I am by no means an expert. I wouldn’t have had a clue telling the difference with the darkness on the strips so I’ve been uploading them into an app called Premom which seems to be really helpful, might be worth a try if you haven’t already? I had my peak on Thursday so I believe I’m 1dpo today x

Hey everyone!

5th cycle trying to conceive after a miscarriage in March. I told myself I would be more laid back this time around but here I am again, counting down the days and over analysing every 'symptom' 😂.

Only 3DPO for me so a long way to go yet. Wishing you all the best of luck!

ReginaPhalange12 · 08/08/2023 10:44

Hi everyone 👋🏼 CD3, 2nd cycle TTC #2. Hoping August is the month we all get our BFPs ✨

Limmers14 · 08/08/2023 11:40

Joining!! Good luck everyone.

This is my second cycle - I think? My period is a week late but pregnancy tests are negative. My OPKs were dark at the start of august when I should have had my period and now they’re fainter… I guess all I can do I keep testing with OPKs and hope for the best for this cycle!

theodora2146 · 08/08/2023 12:07

Hi ladies! Joining this group!

Just got positive on LH strip so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Good luck all!

Mooncalf24 · 08/08/2023 12:53

CD1 here 😓
2nd cycle trying but been tracking in preparation for 6 months… good luck ladies

rosecbrm · 08/08/2023 13:07

Can I join? Current cycle due to end any day now and then starting our first official cycle TTC #1. All the best everyone xx

Peony2021 · 09/08/2023 07:58

Hey ladies, good luck to everyone!

I'm on CD1 - had a later than usual ovulation (typically ovulate around CD14 but was CD17 this cycle) and used Clear blue advanced to track. 3rd cycle trying for #2, we just DTD every other day during the fertile window. We caught the day of ovulation and ideally would have done the day before but we were both totally wiped! I had a lot of ovulation cramping this time around. First cycle taking maca root - I had tried for 4 cycles with baby #1 and the first cycle we tried maca it worked so I'm hoping the same is true here!

Hi everyone! I’m in the agonising TWW at 4DPO. Not too sure it’s going to happen this month as I’ve been poorly on and off this month, but we’ll see. :)

HopefullMumto4 · 09/08/2023 08:55

Providing my temps go up the next two days I think I can consider myself 1dpo! Now the wait begins 😬😬

How is everyone today?

Ooh, I'm not too far behind. When are you planning to test?

I am going to try my very best to wait until my period is late by a couple of days. However, knowing me I’ll probably cave and start from about 9 DPO 😅what about you?

@Iamcatmum Same 🤣 possibly even 8dpo

TheBirdintheCave · 09/08/2023 12:10

Short history: TTC no2 since Dec 2021. Three losses: two naturally conceived MMCs and one IVF chemical (last month) in that time period.

Whilst we wait for our next FET in September we figured we'd try naturally in August. I'm currently CD10 and ovulate later than average so still some way to go but I've started with EWCM today so will start temping tomorrow. I'll probably save the OPKs for CD14 onwards. Not expecting much for myself but good luck to everyone else :)

Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow · 09/08/2023 12:28

Cycle 1 TTC #3 here! Cd12 and expecting to ovulate in 2-3 days (flashing smiley today and yesterday) so in fw right now.

Im so excited about trying again as took a while to persuade DH this time. Good luck to everyone!

YearoftheRabbit23 · 09/08/2023 13:14

I guess I'll join this again, period came today. Trying to conceive number 2 after blighted ovum in Dec 2022 and no heartbeat in May 2023 at 9 weeks (after seeing heartbeat at 7 weeks). Surgical removal both times.

@TheBirdintheCave sorry to see you back here too ❤️

cth96 · 09/08/2023 14:37

Hi everyone!

I'm 1dpo today - got my static smiley two nights ago. This will be our fourth month TTC #1. Hoping we bd enough even though we missed ovulation day!

How is everyone keeping busy?

What are the chances if you miss on the day static smiley came but did it the next day?

That's what happened us this month. I think typically the day before ovulation is the highest chance, followed by the day of ovulation. But honestly if you're in and around that time I think it's all good!

TheBirdintheCave · 09/08/2023 18:11

@YearoftheRabbit23 Oh hey I remember you! Sorry to see you still in the trenches as well :( I hope this is your lucky month! x

Ecj92 · 09/08/2023 20:47

Hi! Hope it’s ok to join!

we have been going with the “it will happen when it happens” for the last few months and decided to actively try this month. We have been tracking with the pre mom app and have done OPKS this month. Currently CD12 and it’s driving me crazy already! God knows how I will feel once I get a peek and have hopefully ovulated!

rosecbrm · 10/08/2023 08:25

Just started CD 1 for me, although my luteal phase seemed to be extremely short at 10 days last cycle, has anyone else had experience of this?

xxcxdonxx · 10/08/2023 13:16

Hi ladies,
Just joining this one if that’s ok. I’m ttc#3, had a chemical end of last year and mmc earlier this year. We are in now in cycle 5 and not even a whiff of a bfp.
Currently 3dpo, good luck to all my
fellow Tww-ers! 💜
