New Thread❤️

Genuinely not sure on DPO! Had some weird OPK readings this month so just stopped doing them. Trying not to focus on it as I'll just start falling down a rabbit hole that my test lines don't look as strong as other people's etc. 😅

@Taysonicyes definitely good to stay away from constant testing. I see lots of people testing daily but not something I’ve done with any of my pregnancies.

I caved and started using OPKs and I wish I hadn’t!

Ive had loads of ewcm yesterday and today, but still no +OPK.

we DTD last night, and I don’t know whether to go again tonight based on EWCM, or take a break tonight and see if I get a +OPK tomorrow and DTD then.

obviously we could just DTD tonight and tomorrow, but if I don’t get a positive OPK tomorrow, we’ll have to DTD 4 / 5 nights in a row and I’m worried we’ll run out of steam!

Thanks for the reply and advice @Iris2024, really appreciate it. I'm almost 35, been off contraception for over a year now but tracking etc since December. My period the last two cycles has been extremely light which is not normal for me.

We conceived first cycle when TTC#1 at 31 (I know we were very lucky - we were tracking) so I'm hoping the fact we have a child already won't go against us when asking for tests to be done.

Wishing you lots of luck and hopefully you'll have your positive very soon ✨ hope the hen goes well!

If I get EWCM (I don’t always) it’s usually a few days before a positive OPK! So don’t worry that sounds pretty normal, and hopefully the EWCM helps the swimmers get up there and be ready and waiting 🤞🏻

we did it 3 days in a row and I think we’ll have to go again tonight as my OPKs have been weird and high-ish for a few days but only peaked today, so I feel just to be safe we should do it again 🙈 it is tiring when it feels like you have to do it.
aside from that - I really think every other day is fine anyway, and the only time I’ve ever had a Bfp was when we just did it two days (one day before ovulation and the day after which was probably too late!)

@LuckyDuck93im 6DPO if u find the way to fast forward time let me kno! I just dont feel any symptoms absolutely nothing which is bizarre usually something is uusally up so i feel like reality is dawning on me rather than false hope this cycle

@Muddysocks1 thats helpful to know! I’m really hoping I get a positive tomorrow and it doesn’t continue to drag out.

From last time I was pregnant, I only peaked for half a day, so it does seem to happen pretty quickly for me.

Just ready to settle into the tww now!

Ah easy ti miss!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻

yes ditto - this part seems to be taking longer than it normally does for me 🙈

With my first I had zero symptoms at all and only took a test to rule it out but had a blazing positive test! He’s now 3.5 🥰

Aww @Taysonic that’s great. I’m so hopeful for you!

@Muddysocks1 omg me too. We started a little early because I wanted to be on the safe side. Finally peaked around 36 hours ago… Have DTD the last 4 nights. No temp spike yet so thinking I probably should go again today but I think my husband might think I’m trying to kill him off with exhaustion 🫣

@FarAwayBird that made me laugh! I swear, the romance is near gone with all this bd'ing! I am working tonight until 6pm and we're due to go out this evening at 7pm. Have told himself to be waiting with his pants round his ankles for me finishing because we have to fit it in😂

Really feel for you about this x

Hi everyone,
congratulations on the BFPs on the thread so far! So exciting
been off the thread a bit as only CD8 so feels like there is a long way to go in this cycle. (Also a little worried about all the BDing in the upcoming hot weather!)
@Mushroo just to say on your previous post I think EWCM usually happens a few days before ovulation so that sounds totally normal (I used to think it was during ovulation and was a bit confused by the timing of it and my predicted ovulation)

Hahahaha @ForGiddyDreamer and they say romance is dead! 😆❤️

@GreenApple121 thats reassuring, thank you!

@ForGiddyDreamer that really made me laugh. All romance is definitely gone!

It's bonkers, one time this week we had to fit it into a 40 minute window before leaving the house! But actually that was plenty of time... had time for a shower after and all 😂

🤣🤣🤣 you have to laugh about it!!

Which is the notorious evap/false positive brand? Wondfo or Premom?

@EmPeEfi thought it was both and one step x

I’ve realised that premom give shadows because of the reflective strip, but you can tell them apart from VVFL. Some people might read them as false positives though? I’ve had a few faint pink lines but I think they’re v early chemicals rather than Evaps

After my stressing yesterday got a blazing positive OPK this morning so definitely seems my EWCM happens before.

Now kicking myself we didn’t DTD last night, might try and convince DH to try at lunch, but he wants to go to B&Q 🙄

Morning Ladies,
6DPO today, question for you all, has anyone here experienced implantation bleeding? Like I wouldn't say i'm properly spotting, but definitely looks like very early period/brownish when I wipe..sorry apparently all boundaries of what is TMI go out the window when TTC! AF not due until 5th July x

I don't think I'm probably a good example, but I did have spotting both times I got pregnant this year. Both times, it progressed to heavier bleeding which first time didn't end well, but this time seems to be going okay...

And I think both times, I noticed the spotting after DTD. 😅 Both times just thought it was my period making an earlier than expected appearance but the spotting lasted for a couple of days before more period-like bleeding started and that's not usual for me with a normal period.

That probably doesn't help at all... But keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!

@LuckyDuck93i have had with previous pregnancies but it was pink, defo know people with brown spotting snd people who genuinely though they had a full blown period! Test in a few days...im 7dpo and checking everytime i wipe when i go to the loo 😂😂😂

Hi all, I'm 12DPO today (not tracking O but based on Flo app). I think I'm out this month, tested at 8DPO and 10DPO and BFN. I know it's early still but I just have a feeling it's not happening - no symptoms at all and we only DTD twice during fertile week. AF is due Monday so may Tuesday if I'm late.
