Starting now as some of us will be in the TWW in April now ☺️

Haha yes I tell myself this every month too 😅 Lots of luck to you! 🤞

I normally do 3 one morning but not first thing one after lunch say 1-2 and then again in the evening around 6-7 but that’s only when I know it’s coming from day 8 I usually do one just to check in still low and not missing an early ovulation, not that I’ve ever had that happen 😂

This was my first month using the clear blue digi advanced ones. And I had flashy smiley for 2 days. Then got the static and it tells you to stop testing and that you’ll ovulate in the next 12-36 hours- which is a huge window. Yesterday was when I got the static smiley and yesterday afternoon I had major cramps and today they’re gone and the CM has dried up. So I’m assuming it’s done! The interesting thing about clear blue was when I popped the stick out the holder yesterday, I’d never have called the line positive if they were normal OPKs! I think it’s common for some women to have a very very short peak, that potentially you’d miss on a test!

@SquadGoalz I normally start twice a day near the time and usually catch it on an evening!

I got a positive opk on Wednesday and the apps updated my predicted ovulation to be Thursday, although I know it can be 24-36hrs. But I've got period like cramps today (2dpo) Is this ovulation cramps? Wondering if I've missed my window now because we last dtd on Thursday assuming O had been and gone 😩

I quite often get residual niggles after ovulation for a few days! Some months it’s worse than others. Have you had a chance in CM now?

Here's a picture of the opks! Never usually notice ovulation symptoms. Can it be this late from Wednesday?

No I don’t think so looking at your charts there. That’s a very obvious peak and decline. Have you done another OPK just to see if it’s peaking again? It def looks like ovulation is done and hopefully the cramps are just regular hormonal changes 🙏

Thanks @jelliebean9 thats good to know! Weirdly this month no EWCM and was caught completely off guard by an early positive. So hard to tell with a change 🤔 Kicking myself for not carrying on dtd for a couple more days but we had done X3 in a row and was well and truly done!

Great advice I'll do one now! Thanks so much 😊 Relieved if it's over and hopefully hormones like you say. I missed my window last month with dh work and don't want to miss it again for lack of enthusiasm 😂

Let us know how it goes! Hope you haven’t missed it. I’m really hoping I’ve done it enough. We only managed 2 times in the fertile window. I’ve kinda made my peace with it now, and what will be will be! Now I’ve got to try and not test early 😂

Hope you all don’t mind me jumping on, I know I had a positive a few weeks ago (still positive 😁) but I am just so invested and exited to see who will be having Christmas babies this year ❤️

I’m cycle day 35 and still no sign of my period and tests are negative 😭

i had some cramps a few days ago and other signs so thought it was on its way but now nothing and worried something is really wrong.

il be joining april TTC group anyway 🙃🤞🏻

agh I’m so sorry! hate rouge cycles like that. you’re not out until AF shows though. Holding on to hope for you 🙏

Probably too many, as demonstrated here 🙈

Thinking of everyone today who is not yet a mum ♥️

Happy Mothers Day to everyone incuding to be ! and thoughts with anyone that finds it hard 🩷

feeling quite sad today as think i only ovulated last Tuesday and started spotting friday/ sat and today seems more blood like AF starting. No way could be implantation starting that early? Obviously complete bfn. This has never happened to me in my life before as normally very regular longer cycles 30-33 days. Have just turned 35.

hoping just a one off random weird cycle.

10dpo and had a faint positive this morning. Cannot believe it. Mother’s Day was going to always be hard due to our loss in December but this feels so special to have found out today. Sending love to everyone today x

Congratulations!! That’s amazing 🥰

Congratulations @jelliebean9 lovely news x

@PeaSar93congratulations! Were you testing before 10DPO? What a lovely Mother’s Day surprise. 💕

Sorry to hear @Floralcat. This journey is such a rollercoaster. Stress or worry I think can definitely affect hormones and cycle. I think I ovulated later this month due to just being so insanely stressed taking all of the OPKs. I was actually shaking doing one hoping to see a static… ridiculous I know.

Hi I was testing at like 6dpo😂 today is the first which actually looks positive

I think I have a very faint positive on Mother’s Day 🥹 I’m 10DPO but I need your opinions! I’m not letting myself get too excited just yet as I want clearer lines but what do you think?? This was within 4-5 minutes of doing the test… I’m so nervous

I can definitely see it! Looks as if it’s got colour too. Very promising for 10dpo. What sensitivity is the test you’re using? Keep us updated, sending sticky vibes xxx
