Waiting To Ovulate ~July/Aug~

[Dinkydizzy]

What a good thread. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks end of May. I've had one period which was pathetic compared to normal so hoping I fall this month. I've never actively tried until now so don't really know much about the testing. Always knew when was fertile time due to ewcm. Feel like I'll start next month if this isn't a bfp. I may have questions for u all to understand when to test n what to do. I hope thats OK. Are there any particular tests anyone recommends?

This is the first time I’ve ever actively tried too and used OPKs, I wish I hadn’t started to be honest cuz it feels like so much more pressure than just dtd and hoping for the best lol

Its like a pregnancy test before an actual pregnancy test its a good gauge for us people who are a bit clueless maybe, so i can totally see why you wish you didnt.

Yea thats why i started them, just to give myself the security that its all working

Looks like ovulation has come early for me

Ive got, what i can only assume is ovulation bleeding - i have NEVER had it before, so this is a first for me, but google has assured me thats its ovulation

So tonight its opk time, a bit earlier than i thought, but my body is showing me the signs, so got to do as i am told

Partner is off tonight, but on bl**dy nights Thursday and Friday so i think i will see what the opk says and anyway

For me it's nice to see two lines on something



I still don't quite get cervical position tbh @UpseyDaisy...I give it my best shot each month but my cervix never really follows a set pattern. It's a guess really (for me).

I found temping to be helpful because I don't really have reliable CM like ewcm because of the pill. I was on it for millennia so it did a number on my baby making fluids - I seldom get creamy and ewcm. The mucus I see most is sticky and around O a random dolop of what looks like cloudy ewcm.

Don't worry too much about all this stuff. Just enjoy this wonderful journey as best you can xxx

Well I’m glad it’s not just me then who’s not going at it like rabbits, I’ve told OH we need to do it tonight, Friday, and Sunday, and if we can any other time in between, then that’s it for another month, how romantic!

IVW I used to get a bit of ovulation spotting for a day or two years ago, it just randomly started one cycle and carried on for quite a while, then just stopped and I’ve never had it since, our bodies can be really random

I have told the OH, if its a BFP on the opk, then we are doing the deed tonight no matter what, regardless of how bad he feels. I feel crap when i am ovulating anyway, but i just get on with it

Dam these night shifts

 

[IVW]

It was a negative for the opk, a slight line, but nothing to write home about. I will test from here on in though and see what happens.

 

[LuckyG]

My opk is negative this morning too (second urine of the day), there’s a line there but not nearly as dark enough.


I’m CD16 today and usually ovulate around CD20, however I am hoping my vitamin b complex brings it forward by a day or so.

 

[LuckyG]

This is mine this morning, hopefully within the next 24-48 hours it’ll be as dark as the control line.

Either way, I need to get BDing

Definitely start BDing....its at least coming

DH has gone away for a few days (I got him an off-road bike course for his birthday so he's gone and done that for the weekend) - according to FF my fertile week starts on Monday with O estimated on CD20 which is Thursday...all I am hoping for is that I don't O while he is away! I've had negative OPKs but a few regular O signs like a shooting pain in my left breast that comes and goes (almost throbbing at times), oily skin and some pimples. I've also been tired and irritated which always happens when I O...some cloudy ewcm (but very little) else I'm dry - sticky in the CM department. CP has improved, she's on the rise but my OPKs are still negative - getting pretty dark now (CB said no last night)

So....here's holding onto everything that O happens next week....and not between now and Sunday else I am OUT even before I get to start


@LuckyG ..I second IVW - bd away!

 

[IVW]

@LuckyG ..I second IVW - bd away!

Like you the OH is now away for two nights, well at work, so i wont see him until Saturday

I almost dont want to opk encase its positive and i cant do anything about it

Roll on Saturday

Well I’m out before I’ve even started this month... OH has announced tonight he wants to leave it for a month, he doesn’t like all the pressure, doesn’t think I’m ready after the miscarriage and has got some work stress going on so doesn’t feel up to it, honestly I’m so angry and frustrated I could cry.... I feel like I’ve got no option then to go along with it 😩 good luck to everyone this month x

Buy some nice lingerie n jump him. Don't tell him it's a good time for ttc make it seem like it's spontaneous. Im sure he will feel more inclined without pressure. A month is a long time to go without. Good luck 🍀 we probably don't realise how each month passing affects our men I'm sure they feel it just as keenly as we do.

Oh hun, what a sh*tter - I would be frustrated as hell but you almost have to respect what he says, possibly a bit of reverse psychology and just let it go.

Have a month off and play it cool next month and see what happens

I think I am out also, this random blood spell has thrown me

Ha ha! Oh he will totally know what’s going on if I suddenly crack out the suspenders, I don’t even wear a matching knickers and bras most days! I think i just have to respect what he’s saying, I am annoyed though, but I think I’m gonna take the time to focus on myself, get back
into running, maybe treat myself to a nice facial and get my nails done, it’s my birthday in a few weeks too (34) so at least I’ll be able to have a glass of wine with my friends without having to try and hide that I’m not drinking, as I’ve not told anyone I’m trying, urgh what a crap day

Yep, I would be in the same boat as you. There wouldn’t be any fooling my husband and I would just have to respect what he says. It’s frustrating, but everything happens for a reason and your time will come when the time is right
