Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pleaded with my boyfriend over how important the window is and how little the chances are if we don’t do it as often. He then says it’s pressure and doesn’t want to just do it cause he has to, which then makes me angry - can never win. If I hadn’t have left work early on my birthday and got lucky before he left at 6 then we wouldn’t have got pregnant. So bizarre if you think about it deep enough, how time is of the essence but gets more stressful as it goes on

Hi all.. do we think this is my positive OPK? Or should it still be going higher? (I've seen people's say peak, this just says high...)

If this is it, should we BD tonight and tomorrow? Is that enough? Also BD last night but that might have been too soon? First month doing my OPKs!

Hi everyone, sitting in a pub watching the Liverpool game, other half is drinking a Heineken in his Liverpool jersey, I’m sat here sunburnt (controlled though) with a water and half 5 has just rolled. I can feel the sick brewing in my stomach. Trying my very best not to ruin this pub, too. Trying to watch the game in peace, but sickness has other things on its mind. Wish me luck 💀

Update; threw up everywhere again 💀

Awwh
man. @ttcjourney20001
maybe you need to start making a map 😂 “places I have thrown up while pregnant”

I’m afraid I may run out of ink 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@BritishDesiGirl fingers crossed this cycle goes by quickly and you get your BFP soon.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I would keep testing twice a day now if you can. This is my first month using OPKs properly too but I've read a few bits online. I'd say your peak is still to come but if you keep testing that will determine whether it is or not. I'd BD every second day until you get your peak.

@ttcjourney20001 was it as spectacular as last night??

I’m afraid not, no cranberries out the nose. However McDonald’s chicken nuggets flavoured. What a waste of euros 😢😢

@FigPigcongrats!! I’ve just seen your posts from this morning. Wonderful news! We’re the same DPO.. so now I’m veryyyyy eager to test in the morning 🤣

Good luck @jelliebean9

Did I miss your OPK today? Did you peak? I saw it was super close to control line yesterday 🙏

So the app says I’m ovulating today but no peak? No clue what’s happening but I’m very glad that it’s gone up!! Only slight panic is that my period is due on the 16th so if it doesn’t happen soon I’m not sure I’ll have time for implantation

Today defiantly looks like your peak to me, mine was the same this month and the next morning was as pale as anything again. Sometimes I think the apps don't read it as high as it actually is due to probably lighting etc and things cameras just can't pic up like eyes you know xx

Thanks @YKM2829I agree tbh! Was def as dark (if not darker) as the control this evening. So that means ovulation within 24-48 hours right? Is there anyway to know how quick it’ll happen - like if you’re a speedy peak-er like I seem to be then does that mean ovulation is the same? Also confused about BD-ing! We DTD Thursday and then last night. Should we try again tonight or continue with every other day?!

Do we think this is peak? How come it just says high? We BD tonight anyway because of my earlier result, but just tested again and darker still! New to OPKs!

I don't know about that one honestly, we dtd every day not even by plan just tends to be our thing so I have no idea if that's good or bad tbh 😂😂😂 it's very annoying however as we argued on my peak day and didn't dtd and I reckon that's the exact reason why I'm out this month 😅🤦🏽‍♀️😮‍💨

Oh boo @YKM2829! Fingers crossed you’re wrong!!

Hi all, I am 4dpo on Letrozole with PCOS. Have regulated cycle over past 6 months, but had pink spotting today, too early for implantation I know!

@FlyHighSky72 today could be your peak or it could be coming tomorrow morning. I would test again tomorrow. If it goes darker then that's probably your peak. Or if it goes lighter then today was your peak. I tested again this evening after my high result earlier and it changed it to peak on the app cause it's already coming down. The only way to confirm ovulation would be if you were tracking BBT as well. I would DTD tonight, just to cover it!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I would say you've hit your peak. Mine said high until I tested again and it's had gone down so it changed the high to peak. Great that you're BDing tonight 👏🏻

@YKM2829 we argued on Friday so didn't BD. I was fuming!

@Disneybride I don't know anything about Letrozole. Would that have anything to do with the spotting?

I have never been so excited for my AF to arrive! CD1 and il call this my first 'official' cycle ttc no.2

10dpo, I can see a line. But I think it’s an indent or an evap, it looks like it’s got colour in person. I’ve never had any form of line this early. So I’m not sure if this is just normal for this early?! What do we think?!

Sorry it says the picture needs reviewing!

It came up in 2 mins with FMU, just fyi

It’s dried now. I think it’s positive 🥹

@jelliebean9I can see it (sometimes I really can't when people insist it's there!).. I would think it's normal for 10dpo but I've never taken one of these tests (FRER?). When is AF due? Hopefully it darkens up for you!
