Yes omg it’s crazy how runny it is! 😂😂😂 the first month I tried it, everyday I tried in the fertile window and every time I put some inside me, it would run out as soon as I stood up.. same thing for both months. This cycle, I just used it on oh as a regular lubricant and a little on myself externally and then on my peak opk day, I put a little inside me and on oh Xx
@Siiia great thanks for the advice ! I'm going to try that! X
@Char09 I will let you know how I get on ! Starting my smep today CD10 as instructed haha but dont think I ovulate till quite late around day 22 - 24 but unsure on my cycle still x
Awesome will get on it haha!! How long is your cycle usually? I usually ovulate around CD20, although it was CD17 last cycle which was a good improvement! Xx
@Char09 used to be 28 to 30 days but after my loosing my little girl on the 1st of april at 19 weeks its been longer ! First af wasn't a trackable one then last cycle it was 36 days ! That's a much better improvement for you ! Hope mines slightly earlier too this cycle ! I was so relaxed first time round and we got pregnant straight away but this time I feel anxious and desperate for it now as it will be my first baby ! 😬 xx
Omg you poor thing how awful! I was 16 weeks with my little girl so I really do understand how you feel about the loss and anxiety. Let's hope it's super quick again for you this time around 🤞 I had quite a long cycle after and then a couple of months from that my cycles were back to normal! Xx
@Char09 thank you for understanding and so sorry we have both experienced this 💕 i hope so doing more this time opks, bbt and my smep plan and lube I should be cooking on gas haha 😂 xx
@Chloe888 thanks. I'm not feeling great right now. I think if I knew my fertility appointment was coming I would feel fine as I would feel like we are getting somewhere. Due to all of the covid stuff I have only had basic bloods done which have come back normal. No scan. Can't even get semen analysis done. I feel like my time is lopping away due to my age (35) and it just feels like it is never going to happen. Deep down inside I know something isn't quite right and it is frustrating just waiting for clinics to open up so we can see a specialist. I feel like I may need my tubes flushing. I know I can conceive as I have two children who I conceived 1st month. I just wonder if the gap between having children my rubes have become sluggish. I have read lots of stories of women conceiving after having their tubes flushed. I just feel like it will be next year before I can even get that done.
Sorry to hear flossy i got delayed on my fertility appts too but I finally got in and did everything just waiting on hubby’s sperm test appt so we can finally start our actual treatments im obviously the problem but the doctor wants him to be tested too
@Siiia I really think this is it for you! ✨✨ thank you for the reassurance everyone!
We bd around midday (baby was napping!) I think I ovulate yesterday though as had bad cramps, however, my cervix was really high and soft today which it never is in the tww so potentially I could still be fertile!
I think I’m going to start 1dpo today though... we don’t use any lube, I did have one lube that supposedly encourages girl sperm, but in general it isn’t to be used when ttc so have stopped using it as would rather have a baby, not fussed on the gender now!
Hope you’re all doing well, @chl@Chloe888 I’ll be interested to know how your OPKs come along!
@Char09 Thanks. Hope you don't have a long wait either. Or even better, get a bfp so you don't need the referral. As far as I understand it they are processing semen analysis due to the covid stuff but that may well change. I was told the referral would be sent without that being done and if they go do the test in the meantime they would.
CD 14 for me today. Normally ovulate 18-20 so I'm holding out to try and BD during my peak this week so we don't get too tired. Hopefully start tomorrow. Have to pretend to my hubby I don't know exactly my peak because he says I'm obsessed even after just 3 cycles (I am)
@RiaMushk it really is. He says to be u havnt went on like this during our entire marriage and now you say come for a quickie lol it's all too obvious x
Oh and I can’t remember who asked but yes my husband takes the pregnacare him and Her conception tablets (literally only because I found the packet from before our son was born and it was almost out of date so didn’t want to waste them!) I’m not taking the Her ones in it though as I just take plain folic acid and magnesium, which worked for me last time!
Any help ladies CD11 today started smep yesterday and started opks yesterday! But this is my result 1 app says its high the other one says its low ! I didnt think I would ovulate till about CD23 or CD24 ! I'll post a picture of just the strip too ! I like to do clearblues as well to tie in with the cheaper ones but wasn't going to start them till mid next week ?? Xx
Hi @Chloe888 I have found the same with the two opk brands, the green ones always show up lighter for me whereas the easy at home ones (like your pink ones) show up quicker, also the premom app seems to pick them up differently!
When I got my peak on the easy at home ones the green ones were defo dark but no where near as dark as the pink ones!
So I’ve just gone with the pink ones and just use the app on those and ignore the lower numbers on the other brand. As they are different brands, I don’t think they will be the same!
Hmm I don’t think you should wait too long for the clear blue?
You may not ovulate as late this time, as your body is getting back to its norm post pregnancy xxxx
