Thanks Cats and Mancmama for the acupuncture advice! That's me all booked in for a consultation and first session next Wednesday night so will see how it goes! I have checked and I can claim 75% back up to £150 on my work health plan. It's not a lot if I need to go for a lot of sessions but every little helps xx

Hello all.

Hope all you lovelies can help me again!! Now questions on ovulation and times. I haven't really done ovulation testing. My last two periods have been 27 and 28 day cycles. So what dates are likely to be my ovulation dates? My period tracker app suggested cd 12? Due to being away and sharing accomodation with a relative.. We only managed to BD on cd11 onwards. But on cd 8/9 I noticed a bit of thick clear dishcharge... So I'm feeling sad thinking I missed ov. Or if cd8/9 early for ov with a 27/28 day cycle? I'm
Confused!

Hey Apple. In a 28 day cycle you would expect around day 14 as luteal phase (post ov) is generally 14 days. Sometimes less but it's not that common to be more.

So if you're 26/28 then day 13/14 is probably right, it's normal to have a few days of fertile CM. Only tracking will tell you for sure though sorry xx

Morning...well my curiosity got the better of me and I caved this morning, I knew it would be BFN but I still had to do it.
I'm now banning myself from testing unless I'm late.

Hi Apple, yes I agree with cats it was prob about CD 13/14 - unless you track though its hard to know what your "typical" luteal phase is (e.g. I know mine is 12 days after ov and my cycles are 29/30 days average so I work back from 30 that ov is around CD 17/18 if that makes sense).

If you BD every other day between CD10-20 you've got a decent chance of catching ov x

CD13 here, the month seems to be going faster now I'm not really tracking?! Weird? My Glow app probably thinks I'm dead haha

Hope I've got everyone's updates - let me know if anything looks wrong.

Well after the pinching feelings yesterday, I've now got spotting today. I'm only CD23 today and I normally spot for a couple of days before AF turns up, but based on my average 27 day cycle, AF shouldn't be expected until Saturday. I'm not sure if this is going to be a shorter cycle, or whether it could be implantation bleeding. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I don't want to get my hopes up, as I've not had implantation bleeding with either of my previous pregnancies, and I've been a bit moody the last couple of days too, so it could just be PMT and an early AF. Will keep you updated.

Hi everyone

well, I think I've decided that the more relaxed approach is not for me! I just feel like I have no idea what's going on!! I've not been temping at all but decided to still use opks. I got a positive on Friday so we BD'd before DH went away for the weekend (Fri eve)....usually once I get a positive I don't test again but for some reason I did on saturday at noon...still positive! But since hubs was away there was nothing I could do. So now I have no idea when I would have ov'd...or even if I have. Usually I get ov pains but this month I've had nothing.

Definitely back to temping for me next cycle, I just like to have the reassurance that I've ov'd!

Fingers crossed for you mouse, keep us posted!

Pink petal I know what you mean, I am normally the same and NEED to see that I'm oving etc, just not as bothered by it all this month, think I just worked myself up too much last month and needed a break.

Pretty sure I'll be cracking out the opks again next month x

newthrift

mouse got my fingers crossed for you.

After all the OV talk I have sat and look at my dates again and I have decided the app I use is telling me a week too early:mad: I've now decided this month will be a no hope and back to it next week with amended fertile days/OV day.....
