    I used ovia but just downloaded Flo to see what its like.

    I used the amazon cheapie OPKs and I've never had a line that's darker than the control so I just take the line when its the same colour as being my ovulation day.

    Can I be moved to the 2WW please?

    A friend in work announced her pregnancy today, obviously I'm over the mood for her, but it was the first time I felt a hint of jealously. Not in a bad way obviously, but in I just want it to me be way. I never thought I'd feel like this is weird.

    Loubie_lou, welcome to the thread! Let me know when your AF arrives and I will add you on to the lists. I use Ovia and like it. Although I only use the app to track Bding, OPK results and AF, I don’t bother tracking CM, symptoms, temp, cervix size etc. It tells me when the estimate fertile week is and when AF is estimated to arrive, and that’s all I am really interested in knowing!

    Faith177, Ovia gets you to test from 12 days post ovulation regardless of when your AF is due. I think this is because this is when the hormone should be high enough to be detected. However this is based upon the day of ovulation being correct and the average length of the stage between OV and implantation etc. Personally I would say wait until your AF is due if you can!

    , have a wonderful holiday together. You deserve some time to relax and unwind together. I hope you come back feeling refreshed.

    Skimper, I hate that feeling. As, like you say, you feel guilty for feeling it afterwards but it isn’t that you wish they weren’t pregnant it’s just that you wish you were too! Have your moment to feel low then dust yourself off, tomorrow is a new day.

    We are now back from our few days away. It was wonderful to spend time just the two of us wandering and exploring! AF is due on Thursday according to Ovia. If AF arrives this month (which I think it will) then I am making an appointment with my docs to request fertility tests, which feels scary but I need to get answers sooner rather than later and I know the whole process takes time.

    I always feel like I could eat 24 hours a day skimper hahaha

    CD30, no feelings either way for me. AF apparently due Friday according to Ovia but my cycles vary in length so I take it with a pinch of salt anyway!

    I hope you've all had a good day :)

    Cheers PKK hope you had a lovely trip?

    its only my second month of trying and the first month I wrote off because of just coming off the pill. I know I havent fallen this month which is upsetting because Aug will be the last month for 3 months that we can actively try because of plans for next year already in place

    I see everyone around me falling at the drop of a hat even when they werent trying and Im just beginning to wonder if we left it too late. I know its only been 2 months but I think I!!!8217;m just a bit down in the dumps and its winding me up more than normal so feeling a little melancholy. Does anyone else get like this the week before their due? Doesnt help that I!!!8217;m a bit of an anxious person so times my brain overthinks things

    I think AF will be here on time if not a couple of days early which will hopefully stop the nausea I!!!8217;ve been feeling which I always get the week before AF which Id forgot all about when I was on the pill and its bloody awful lol

  • I know the feeling Faith I get a bit like that too the week before. It seems like ever since we have been TTC, another friend has announced their pregnancy every month. Just hoping it will soon be our turn.

    AF is due in about 4 days for me. No signs yet but it does tend to spring itself on me.

    Thanks Busy as horrible as it sounds I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like it sometimes
