@PinkCupcakes glad to have you back. Was wondering how you were just yesterday! Hope this month works for you

 

[Rach87]

Opinions please. So Im cd17 and still havent had a blazing positive opk - had a couple close ones on cd14 - which is when I also had all my O symptoms - ov pain, lots of ewcm. I of course had to work late 6p-11p to inventory the store so I couldn't do my usual 8pm test (which tends to be my darkest). I had some semi dark ones on cd15 but yesterdays tests and todays are light. The other weird thing is I had a little bit of ewcm yesterday. Should I just mark cd14 as Ov day, or keep waiting? Sorry for the novella. I wish my body was cut and dry, its always putting me through the ringer. Oh and I didnt sleep 3 nights in a row (cd14-17)so my temps are crap and cant even go by that. Ugh.

Rant:

Before ttc we always used withdraw as our birth control and I remember sometimes dh would do the same thing out of habit even when ttc. Once or twice it happened during my fertile period and I was sooo disappointed.

It sounds like you at least got a couple times in earlier, so that’s good!

I just wasn’t sure if that was enough. I thought the actual ovulation day was most crucial. Glad I have you guys to turn to. That makes me feel better. Thank you

Best days are the ones before, day of O can be a bit too late but cn work too.

@realbeauty86
We tried for 11 cycles some cycles we tried so so hard, December was one of them months and we BD everyday from cd8 and on ovulation day we BD twice in AM and PM felt so confident that month but I came on AF.

In Jan (the month we conceived)

We BD on cd 8 then on the evening of cd9 I got my Peak OPK 4/5 days earlier than normal so it completely threw me off.
We BD again on the morning of cd10 and I Ovulated on the evening of CD10.
We BD again on the evening on cd11 so we only BD 3 times and boom.
Sprem can live for up to 5 days hon so u definitely have a good chance.

Good luck hon hope March will be ure month.



Good luck ladies
Not long until March now and praying so much there will be lots of BFPs

Ah that’s so tricky! I would say the first round of dark tests is positive but I said that last month and it wasn’t true lol... too bad about the temps they would’ve shown you for sure!! I guess just keep testing :/ and BDing!

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@PinkCupcakes i’m so glad you’re back! Really wishing you just the best with your 2nd iui. What has your fertility specialist said about trying iui again? Is it normal to try a few times? GL xx

 

[Rach87]

@iak welcome - would you like me to add you to the front page? And remember you're not out until af shows!

@Reiko_ctu its my never ending ovulation saga lol. Well hubby is mighty happy continuing to bd. Oy.

Thanks! And yes!!! Definitely need a BFP! Hopefully this is our month fx

Third day of flashy only have three left so hoping for either a static this afternoon or tomorrow. OPK is a bit darker this morning. Get paid tomorrow so hoping if they still not positive I will get to boots for some more clearblue and have to order some more OPK. Hate waiting

 

[Teafor2]

@PinkCupcakes Welcome back and good luck with this round of IUI!

@Rach87 With so many dark opks I go by other symptoms like o pain. But I’d also probably keep bding until the tests are light again just to be safe.

@Lozb I hope you ovulate soon! I hate when it takes so long that I need to go and get more tests.

I am 8 dpo today and just waiting around until it’s time to test. I have pulled a muscle in my neck or something and I’m in sooo much pain. Can barely move my head! I don’t want to take pain medication just in case I’m pregnant so just trying to manage with hot showers and stretches but oh man it’s bad.

Oh no hope ur neck eases off soon. Try some heat packs or hot water bottle.

I have the feeling I need to pee on them ovulation tests I have left every hour. I think it’s because I haven’t used clearblue before and unsure about them and when it might change. By my OPK I think they cud go positive tomorrow or next day. Ttc cn just take over ur life. It’s on my mind all day everyday. Friend finds out what she is having today, we finished uni at same time and both planned to get pregnant when we finished. She was able to start before me because was only on pill, I had implant in and pandemic delayed me being able to get it out.

I also have a few friends where we talked about all having kids around the same time. Two of them have babies now, one is currently pregnant (got pregnant her first try), and I’m still ttc.

It’s so hard isn’t it when we feel left behind. But we cn do this xxx

 

[Suggerhoney]

I hope ure neck eases off soon @Teafor2 outch.

@Lozb I had 4 days of flashy smileys then got my static back in December.
So hopefully u will get ure static soon.
Are u still taking the maca?

@Rach87
Hope u have ovulated already.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Ugh! So I'm CD 8 or 9 and my opk is as dark as the control. I do tend to get blazing darker than control positives so I'd expect that tomorrow (or later). BUT it's too early again!!!!!!
My temp hasn't dropped so will see what happens next couple of days there. Just a bit frustrated as I've gone from 50 day cycle to a 28 to a 20 in past few months.
I started on Conceive plus fertility support capsules last month and I'm wondering if it's causing this?
At least it looks like it may only be a few days early this time not a week.

Confusion and worry is never ending eh? Cycle too long, cycle too short, period too heavy, period too light!! Aaargghhh!! Lol

 

[BabyBrain80]

Hey ladies, so AF came this month so onto IUI #2, March 1st I have my follicle study US and trigger shot then depending on that day the IUI will be either next day or two days later.

Good luck for #2
