@PADonk @BB78910

If it doesn't work this time I'm done with trying n getting on with my life cba with it no more x

@Roses12345 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t blame you one bit - just feel like my life’s been in limbo ever since we started trying. Shittest rollercoaster ever. Are you near ovulating? X

@PADonk not just yet x

@Roses12345 get on the beetroot have it on everything this month 🤣

@PADonk i know the feeling - exactly how I felt this cycle just gone. Just get on with the AF now so you can have another go

so I’m hoping one of you can enlighten me… these LH tests are only ‘positive’ when the 1st line is as dark or darker than the 2nd… I get that. But you’re also supposed to be ovulating up to 36h from the beginning of the surge which is technically when they start darkening (I think). How is it that I’m on day 5 of AF so still bleeding a bit but my LH is this dark? (Attached a pic) - because by that theory I’d be ovulating just after AF? So what’s the EWCM later on? I’m actually panicking that if this is the surge for me now I’m completely missing it cos DP is away and won’t see him until Saturday

It didn’t attach did it!

@BB78910 I’ve never done an opk that early but I would imagine your hormones are all over the place during your period - I’m sure I’ve read that LH outside of ovulation does all kinds of weird stuff. Do you normally have a gradual rise or quick? I’d start temping on a morning just to reassure yourself but I’m sure it’ll come back down again before you ovulate xxx

@PADonk honestly no idea… I never tested this early either so for me it’s been stark white then one day gets a bit darker…
never took my temp - is it just with a normal thermometer or special one you get with ovulation kits? What’s the process 😅

@BB78910 I’ve just got a regular cheapie digital one, which I use every morning as soon as I wake up. In general it should be about 36.4c before you ovulate and then jump higher and stay there for 3 days afterwards. So if your temp stays pretty constant until Saturday then you can be confident you’re still good 👍🏼

My OPKs are always basically always blank apart from one day and then it has to be immediate action stations as my temp usually goes up the next morning 😅

@BB78910 I honestly don't know im pretty shit for a woman about that stuff lol maybe what padonk said about hormones all over with af but Idk @PADonk anything today x

@Roses12345 ugh i don’t know what’s going on - had some brown spotting last night so was sure I’d wake up to AF and I kind of have but it’s weird, (TMI warning!) just some clots and then more spotting. Haven’t bothered doing a test as I’m sure I’m out but I don’t know if it’s a chemical or a hangover from last month just coming out now 😖

@BB78910 @PADonk thaaanks I put the thermometer on my bedside table but obvs forgot didn’t I
we DTDyesterday and this afternoon I got EWCM but like loads of it so I’m pretty sure I’m going to miss my window. Working late tomorrow so can only DTD late at night and if I O anytime before that I’ve missed it
I hate this so much - went out for some drinks with DPs friends and he told me another one of them is pregnant it just made me feel shit so went home, had a little cry on the train like a pathetic little wimp

@BB78910 you won't necessarily miss it if you do it within 12-24 hours after O as the egg hangs around a while. And you've got it in before. Doing it at the exact moment of O won't make any difference as long as there is sperm there at some point while the egg is there you have every chance

@Catson i know 😭
I think I was reading the odds tho and it’s 20% chance of conception when you do it on a day either side of O and 40% on the day. I just don’t want another lost cycle ☹️

@BB78910 ah mate, you are definitely not a pathetic little wimp. It’s just shit, I can’t count the number of times I’ve cried at other people’s pregnancy announcements now - they’re a massive gut punch every time and there’s nothing bad or weak in feeling that way. Wish I could give you a giant hug ❤️. I don’t know where you read that but I always go by this which is based on a study of 200 couples ttc over a year and shows DTD the day before gives you almost just as good a chance, so don’t worry - you’ll get it! Xxx

@PADonk any updates x

@Roses12345 yep, AF now arrived in full flow. Shite. How’s you? Have you ovulated yet?

@PADonk ffs 🤨 not ovulate yet me x

@BB78910 update please 🙏🏼

@PADonk ah hopefully you have a short AF and get to try again!
LH tests just stayed the same shade so I hope I haven’t actually ovulated yet. Will do another one tonight and tomorrow to see - I have been having slight EWCM in the last couple of days so hoping that the other night was maybe just delayed whatever from DTD the night before and I’ve still got a chance
@Roses12345 when do you ovulate do you know?

@BB78910 I'm hoping u got this covered just keep dtd either way if u can , and I'm 12day past my period I will be coming up soon so not just yet my body will let me know when I coming up, I will get wet watery when I wipe after a wee so i know that is start of it then get ewcm then i feel my ovulation I feel it proper lol in my left side , so next few days I should be starting it x

@Roses12345 got ya! So is the ex on board to dtd?

@BB78910 Always ha, he's wanted it as much as me for so long that he's on board fully with it if i want to go for it he does too 🙂 x

@BB78910 I suppose good question though because maybe when he gets another gf that will be over I hadn't thought of that until now , but at same time I'm this close on giving up anyway what will be will be x

@Roses12345 honestly when you know you want a baby it doesn’t matter what happens in the future - it’ll still have two parents that wanted them and love them so whatever. It’s the 21st century you have all sorts of different families
