Would you guys say this is peak? Or close?

That's definately peak. Its stronger than the control line. Get baby dancing 🤞🤞

My cycle has confused me. I started bleeding on CD20. Lasted 3 days so counting myself as CD4 now but opks are quite dark x

@Kay1578 did you get a peak prior to CD20?

@Kay1578 did you get a peak prior to CD20?

No I didn't 😔 I just figured it was a dodgy cycle after my chemical last month x

@Kay1578 did you get a peak prior to CD20?

My temps were all over the place too. I definately didn't ovulate x

@Kay1578 hmmm did you test when you was bleeding? I remember once I had bleeding for 3 days and had to put a panty liner in, but turned out that it was ovulation spotting

Only on the first day but my temp is still so low, there's no way I've ovulated. I'm just going to keep testing and temping and go with it. It wasn't super heavy and was only really a bleed for 1 day. The other 2 were more like spotting. I did that last month for 2 days and then ovulated on what I thought was CD29. Now I'm not sure if I'm just having super light periods and my cycles since breastfeeding have dropped from 33 days to 20/21. The last 3 (if I break my last cycle down at the bleed) were all around 20 days xx

@Kay1578 so confusing for you! Hopefully you can figure it out soon 🤞

Does anyone get period like pains with ovulation? My lower stomach is still cramping and a little sore!

Not sure what's going on! After all the highs yesterday I was expecting it to come down today but it's still high. And I have to wait for it to come down to ovulate right?

Yes! It feels very much like period pains to me x

When I ovulate my opk stay high for o er 24 hours then drop. Its the first peak that counts x

Em3009 · 13/12/2024 09:52

@nicolenorris thank you for the reassurance! As @Kay1578 said it’s the first peak I think - on the clear blue digital when you get the static smiley it stays on the screen for 48 hours! X

Not sure what's going on girls 😭 just had a peak again?

TTC #1 TWW
nicolenorris · 13/12/2024 14:34

This one is definitely darker than the one yesterday so would you say this one is my peak instead?

CraftyBugger · 13/12/2024 15:13

Thanks everyone! I thought it was unlikely this month as only symptom I have had is stomach discomfort, but i am really struggling with waist bands, they're irritating me so bad.

Not yet told my partner. Deciding how to surprise him.

Also need to plan how to navigate Christmas as we're staying at my parents. They usually ask what alcohol I would like but I won't be touching it. Do I just tell them 🤔

@Em3009 I always get a twinge in one side when ovulating. It's not quite period pain but definitely noticeable.

I wouldn't worry to much which is peak. Either way you have hit it. I'd just baby dance tonight and tomorrow to be on the safe side. That way between yesterday and tomorrow, you have covered all bases xx

nicolenorris · 13/12/2024 21:13

It's finally gone down! Gonna DTD tonight and then I guess I'll be onto dpo counting ahhh 🤞🏼✨ how is everyone else doing?

I was thinking this as well, if I fall pregnant this month I'll be 11 dpo on xmas day! Not sure what I'll say

CraftyBugger · 13/12/2024 21:30

@nicolenorris I have no idea what I am going to do. I have got a few cans of cider lying around so I could take that with me but then say I don't fancy it.

Em3009 · 13/12/2024 23:04

@CraftyBugger have you decided when/ how to surprise your partner?

could you disguise non alcoholic as alcohol maybe?

@nicolenorris ah! We will be on similar countdowns - I’ll be 12 DPO on Xmas day!
