Sorry to hear it’s so worrying trying to understand what’s going on. 8/9dpo still very early, hopefully the next couple of days will make it clearer 🤞🏻

looks like it to me!!xx

I’d say that’s too pink to be a evap hun.

Gross overshare time - don’t read if you don’t want too

I’m 10DPO, BFN this morning, just been to the loo and big globs of yellow tinged cloudy CM!?? Any ideas???

could be a mix of things, some people swear they have it before their bfp’s but i’ve also had it from months where af arrives, have you take a preconception vitamin today they make everything yellow🤣xx

@FlyHighSky72 also curious about this had the same thing this morning...very strange

@megan345and @Ec2808how weird! Yes I have taken a vitamin this morning but have done since Jan and I don’t think I’ve had this before! We shall see what happens - body going haywire as we ttc - wonderful!!!

@Sdjm@Iris2024youre not meant to count spotting apparently - full flow only

That’s great thank you! Just didn’t want to mess up my predictions. Honestly just over it now and want it to come. For some reason PMS is so much worse when TTC

I feel your pain!!

Is anyone else not tracking LH/BBT? I have a majorly anxious personality and think it’d send me too far stress wise.

but if you don’t track for ovulation, how do you approach TTC? I’m thinking maybe just every other day from day 10-20? Is that overkill 😂

This isn’t helpful because I do track BBT and LH, because it would stress me out more not knowing where I was! Both because it’s hard to make sure you’re having sex at the right time (unless you can reliably do it every couple of days - which we just wouldn’t manage), and to know when period is due and when it’s late. I honestly don’t find it stressful to track but I think I’m a bit of a control freak and so need to have “oversight”!

Thank you for this! Hmm maybe I should try it then. I’d struggle to track my LH because I’m a teacher and there’s just no way I could test during the day. I’m lucky to get a 10 min lunch break most days! With BBT is it just mornings?

bbt is mornings but it can’t predict when you’re about to ovulate only confirm ovulation has occured, could you test lh when you get home from work?xx

@LookForTheLiighti wont be anymore, just guestimating and going by EWCM, luckily i have this month to track all my symptoms for next month but im gna look out for sore boobs pain on one side and ewcm i think as i think the LH part is stressing me out and ive only used it one cycle lol

Ahh really! I didn’t know that about bbt. I could test LH after work but I don’t get home till half 5/6ish, so I’d have to do it before 7am when I leave then after 6pm and could possibly miss peaks? So not sure it’s worth doing?

there is a potential you’d miss peaks but lh is higher in the afternoon anyway, if you could chuck in a morning one too then it would be perfect, you’ll be able to still see a trend hopefully and then bbt will confirm it 3 days later (you need 3 consecutive high temps to confirm ovulation)xx

Every two days would be enough as well.

Yes BBT just as soon as you wake up.
ah I used to work in education so I get that!!! Although, I’ve taken them to work and sneakily done them in the loo (and just checked it later, didn’t wait in the loo for ages, probably not the textbook way to do it though) 🤣.

You can just do LH morning and night, but i do find around ovulation I like to do more but I think that’s just because I find the changes interesting. But mine is raised for over 24hrs so wouldn’t miss it just doing evening and night

How long is everyone leaving their OV strips before taking a photo for Premom? I feel like mine are taking ages to dry. Longer than 5 minutes.

7 minutes seems to be the sweet spot for me🤣

Okay. Cool. As long as I’m not totally out of bounds photographing them a bit later than 5 minutes lol.

@EmPeEf I am known to take a picture of my ovulation strips and go back and take another one later because I realize it looks darker 😂 admiringly I don't time but 7 mins sounds good.
I still haven't bought a new pregnancy test which sounds strangely chill for me. If I wasn't on holiday I would have definitely taken about 3 more tests by now. I am on the fence about going and buying some tests (if they even have early response tests on Cyprus) or just waiting to see if my period turns up.

i’ve been testing everyday, i usually test morning and night with both lh & hcg as some people have results at night (or so my delusion tells me)🤣 currently got one waiting to develop, 10dpo today xx

I’m honestly a bit blasé with them - if I’m in a rush sometimes only a couple of minutes, or half hour if I’ve forgotten. Sometimes even later! Personally I find unlike HCG tests, it doesn’t really matter as much.
