Ohhh @Sylva123 I never knew that! The fixed smiley I had this week was the first one out the pack I used? I never knew xx

@Carleyxo is it the purple Clearblue or the pink one? The purple ones are the ones that I thought always started with a blank circle. I think the pink ones are different.

Saying that... I've just been trying to find where I read that in case I'm wrong and all I can see is this (attached).

It's not super clear but I think the flashing smiley (high fertility) uses the baseline result which tracks oestrogen, but static smiley (peak fertility) doesn't rely on only the baseline, it comes from the LH level... So technically it could show peak the first day you test? Especially as we're on meds that mess with the oestrogen. So it just goes off the LH instead.

Oh god haha I guess it's ok as the cheap one backed it up maybe? Well this month is out the window anyway but good to know @Sylva123 x

Yes ignore me, I'm sure peak means peak no matter when you test xx

@JadeS174 how you getting on hun did you do cheap opk? Hope your ok. Xxx

@Sylva123 yes I'm using the Clearblue advanced digital.

@Loziliz75 I'm fine thank you Hun. How are you? Nah I have got any cheapies. Just the digital clearblue ones.

Who knows what it means. Will just have to wait and see.... 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

@JadeS174I would just go along as if it was a proper positive. Fingers crossed it was 🤞🏼👏🏼 Xxx

hi ladies I'm new to the group. first time on clomid i took day 3-7 i got a solid smiling face yesterday will be on the dreaded 2ww soon.

@mel017 welcome and good luck this month! I am 5/6 DPO and can't wait for this tww to be over!

Welcome @mel017 congrats on your solid smiley on round 1 of clomid! Fingers crossed 2ww is worth it for you! 🤞🏼
@dragonfly1978 fingers crossed to you too 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Xxx

thanks ladies.

Hi all, I am 6/7 DPO and am having really bad heartburn. Could this be an early pregnancy symptom?? Have never had it before!

@dragonfly1978 I've had that before, I had it from 4DPO unfortunately until AF arrived. I was convinced it was an early pregnancy symptom as id never had it before either! It sometimes happens because of a rise in progesterone causing the muscles to relax (therefore acid can get through easier)

So in short, yes it could be a pregnancy symptom as your progesterone levels are higher than normal or it could just be an off chance xx

Welcome @mel017

I've not had that before @dragonfly1978 but fingers crossed!!

I suffer from heart burn/reflu anyway so I can’t help you there @dragonfly1978 sorry! Xxx

Thanks @Loziliz75 @LottieDot @LaurenN23, I am madly symptom spotting despite promising myself I wouldn't! I have also got quite a lot of white CM. Am trying to hold off testing! How are you all doing?

@dragonfly1978 I’ve promised myself not to do that when I get to your position and promised not to test early too but We will see I’m not very good at waiting haha xxx

@dragonfly1978 it's so hard not to symptom spot though isnt it!
I'm only 4dpo today and time is going so slowly!

Got my positive opk today! We've dtd the past 4 nights, 2 more to go 😩. We've had an argument after tonight's because he said he's finding it hard - I know I'm wrong to be mad but I feel like why can't you just do it 😂 I feel like a machine at the moment, I don't feel into anything sexy and it's so hard to make it 'fun' every night. How do you guys manage?

@LaurenN23 it's so hard isn't it. We had a massive row this month the day I got my solid smiley. They clearly feel pressure but I am the same as you, I just think why can't they just get on with it and dtd!!!i find it so hard to be extra nice to my husband for the whole of the fertile window. We haven't had sex outside the window for three months now, it's like a relief when it's over for another month!!!

Stupidly tested at 8 DPO today, bfn. Not sure whether I am out this month now and will be in a bad mood all day 😥

@dragonfly1978 it’s still early days yet your not out until your defo out with af. Fingers crossed for you!! Xxx

@dragonfly1978 it's still early don't forget you may not have even implanted yet.

Been for my first reflexology consult and session today. I was quite skeptical and didn’t know if I’d like it as I’m so ticklish...but I loved it! I came away feeling so relaxed. Obviously I don’t know if it helps with fertility but it’s certainly help me to relax! Definitely going to go back, not as often as I would like due to funds but as much as I can! Xxx

@dragonfly1978 definitely too early- you're not out yet!

@Loziliz75 that's good! Did they ask about ttc or anything?

I'm 5dpo and for some reason just completely convinced this month hasnt worked, not sure why but I just 'feel' it hasnt. Hope I'm wrong!
