I did a boots order the other day for some skincare bits and these arrived in the package. Genuinely can’t remember even adding them to the order I’m getting obsessed help

The ovulation test I am using comes with 20 sticks. For me it’s easy. All the ones on Amazon sounds like hard work for me. I’m already on high alert I want to make my life a little easy.That’s the one, the advanced one with 20 sticks!
Thank you so much. My first cycle was 30 days so I’m not sure if I’ll stay regular or not - perhaps I will try testing from the 9th, in which case do I keep testing for a week only or until I get the peak?
Thanks for your help
Are you using an app ? This makes it easier for tracking and from there you can see if your monthly cycle is regular. Just so your aware a regular period is seen if the length of the cycle varies no more then 7 days. I don’t know how long you have to track but after 6 months I’m sure you’ll get an idea. Let’s hope you don’t wait that long.
I would test until you get your peak. In my case it would be a static smiley face. That’s when you should have sex and another 2 days in a row. I’ll be honest I have sex the day after. I haven’t done 3 days in a row yet. We are both exhausted and sex out after the short window.
To add I use the flow app. I used to pay for it but now I just use the free version.

This is my second cycle off the pill, and I’m using ovia to track but know the fertile week is never accurate! I’ve always been regular but obviously being off and on the pill means that you can never assume you go back to what you used to
I agree - the ovulation sticks from Amazon look like hard work and I think I’ll get on with the clear blue one much easier. Brill, I think I’ll start from CD8/9 and see how I go - Which will be Monday so I’m intrigued to give it a whirl!
It gets hard work doesn’t it
we’ve been trying to do every two days in the lead up it and then every other day. We are going to try and loosely follow sperm meets egg if our schedules align as sometimes my husband works nights away. Thanks for all your advice it’s been invaluable!
I'm 11DPO too and feel like I'm just waiting for AF now, but have felt so out of sorts this week, very crampy, my digestion seems all wrong and today I've been so nauseous I can't eat anything. Sure I'm just over-thinking it all but you can't help but wonder!
Well maybe the nauseous is a good sign! I literally just have cramps today on and off and sore boobs so I think I'll be AF again.
Got random bad skin but it's probably just my bad skin coming back. I did use pre seed for the first time.
How long have you been trying? Got my fingers crossed for you. I want to hope so much but I just get too worried to now.
Well, fingers crossed for you anyway, you never know - it's maddening how similar the symptoms are!
We tried for over a year but stopped this time last year, I even went back on the pill (seemed logical at the time, I just couldn't deal with the disappointment any more so that way I just knew). Came off it again at the start of Feb so really haven't been trying long this time. Absolutely not getting my hopes up given how previous attempts have gone...
Girls I just want to ask a quick question.
AF was due today for me usually I’ll have some spotting the night before but all I had was a tiny wipe of pink, this morning I went to the toilet it looked like I’d started naturally I was fuming but I put a tampon in & felt like it was full a few hours after I changed it and it was empty, my second one of the day I’ve just taken out again was pretty much empty baring in mind I’ve had it in for 6/7 hours.
I felt a tiny pinching cramp on the right side of my pelvis yesterday afternoon in Tesco. Could that have been implantation? Or am I getting my hopes up and AF will have a proper go tomorrow
Usually my periods the heaviest on the first and second day only lasting 4 on average. TTC is the most confusing thing I’ve think I’ve ever done

Deffo hard to tell, I exhausted google with IS IT IMPLANTATION OR PERIOD?! and I think the only way you can tell is to take a test. maybe leave until Sunday (if you can) to ensure it deffo is late. You could collect your FMU in a pot and store til later to test if notGirls I just want to ask a quick question.

See what happens today if nothing shows do a test. If you can hold out, I know it's hard.Girls I just want to ask a quick question.

Thank you guys! I woke up at 5:45 this morning and did a cheap test I got with some OPKs from Amazon but it didn’t even have a hint of a line. I’m going to grab a clear blue one today I think if AF doesn’t show today.
Its a year this weekend since we got our puppy, be so cute if we could get our baby this weekend too. Weird sentimental things
So yesterday I wasn’t saying I hadn’t got a flashing smiley face yet this cycle on my ovulation tests - well today I got the non flashing peak fertility face?? Is it normal to not have any high fertility days and go straight to peak?
on the leaflet (I was reading mine last night as it arrived!) I think it said something like it’s down to the hormones being too close together perhaps?
I read that too, wondered if anyone else on here had the same thing. I feel like I’ve missed out on a few days of high fertile days now
I am now 4 days late on my period. I don’t have any symptoms and I got a negative result two days ago I’m so confused.
Going to test again tomorrow I think

Any chance you could have ovulated later than you thought?I am now 4 days late on my period. I don’t have any symptoms and I got a negative result two days ago I’m so confused.

I did my first clear blue ovulation test
so nice and easy and I’ve logged in the premom app too. CD8 and a blank smiley which is what I expected. 
For this cycle though it’ll give me a EDD of 28/12
