It just depends on your LH surge pattern- some women (me) get a rapid surge so one day it’s negative then a huge peak the next. Others have a more gradual rise/surge. I’m told it makes no difference! I go straight from blank circle to static smiley.

Yes I’m still having the occasional glass of wine at the weekends. And then usually a bottle when dreaded AF arrivesAre you guys drinking whilst ttc? I am still having one drink every evening during the w.e. and have had one a bit more often than that recently due to st valentine and a few other occasions. Feeling a mixture of anxiety/guilt I shouldn't not to affect implantation etc but evidence on this seems mixed plus it's not like I am getting drunk I guess..
I’ve had local anaesthetic put into the cervix for a different procedure and it was completely totally 100% fine, so please don’t worry about thatTTC for 2.5 years with no luck. Currently being investigated, had pelvic uss and bloods
Next is a hysteroscopy, they talk about local anaesthetic being put into the cervix
Has anybody had this and if so, how was your experience?
Thanks!
I don't but only because I'm temping and alcohol affects your BBT! Once I've got my crosshairs, then I'm happy to drink until I see those two lines!Are you guys drinking whilst ttc?

Omg same. Had sex twice and on the day of peak fertility I was not well. I was disheartened beyond belief. So I most likely won’t be pregnant this month.Really annoyed this month. We only had sex twice around ovulation. On actual ovulation day we just didn’t feel well. I don’t want it to become a chore but it feels like a month wasted. Oh well, there’s always next month
What day in the cycle do you get the flashing smiley? I.e how long is your periodOmg same. Had sex twice and on the day of peak fertility I was not well. I was disheartened beyond belief. So I most likely won’t be pregnant this month.
Can I ask does anyone have an early short fertile window?
My fertile window starts as soon as my period finishes. I’ll see a flashing smiley for two days then the 3rd day I get a static smiley. Is this normal ?
I get a period every month but they are very short 22-24 days. Sometimes it will be 27-28 days.

I also have PCOS and am taking Letrozole at the moment. I do recommend taking medication to ensure your cycles are regular. I started on Clomid (3 cycles), but we didn't find the right dosage (5*1pill was too much, 5*1/2 wasn't enough). With Letrozole (currently 2nd cycle) everything works better and dosage is fine. However, periods have become much more painful again... Ah well...I used some OPKs for the first time this month but didn’t get a clear clear peak (some quite close by eye despite the app still saying they were low) and to be honest I found it draining thinking about it so much so I’ve used the box up and scrapped the idea for now. I’m pretty sure I ovulated last month due to pains & mucus but neither of those have happened this month so I am just waiting for my period to arrive. I think I’ll ask to speak to the private consultant again and ask to start metformin after all (have PCOS and she suggested it in Jan but I said no but now I’m thinking maybe I should).
One thing I’m struggling with is my sex drive - it’s never been through the roof but since I came off the pill start of last year it’s definitely fallen even more which isn’t great for trying for a baby. Managed to do it 3 times across the middle of the month but I know that could improve. Haven’t told husband I’m tracking my cycle that closely as I don’t want to make it seem like a chore and be like right we need to have sex now! He also doesn’t have too high a sex drive. The more we do it the more we both want it but I just.... often don’t! I always enjoy it once we get in to it, I don’t think feeling a bit fat and pale and frumpy at the minute is helping either. Any suggestions? Are there any supplements you’ve tried which increase sex drive? I kind of want to make sure we give it a good go and enjoy ourselves to the max before we may need to go down a more clinical route to conceive. I felt good last month that I’d ovulated (have been taking inofolic which has improved my cycle) but no signs this month so feeling a bit weird again. My skin has also broken out like a teenager’s. Hormones! Just love them!! Men do not realise how lucky they are sometimes!

I feel you! I used to think I was blessed with perfect skin, turns out, that's was just the pillI look like a teenager during periods. Pimples have gone down now that I'm taking medication though.
On sex drive I can't help you unfortunately. I used to be a freaking bunny when my partner and I got together, but that kinda disappeared over time. I had high hopes when I stopped taking the pill, but it didn't come back at allIt's not that I don't enjoy it anymore (I really do), it's just difficult to get in the mood...
That said, we had sex for about 10 days straight this month, because I'm so sick of not getting pregnant, didn't want to take risks(previous times we'd be active every other day)
Period is due around the 21st.
Really unsure. Had cramps and was nauseous the past two days (around 8 and 9 dpo). I'm also aware of my uterus, if that makes sense. Feeling better today. Hoping it was implantation. But my hair's getting greasier a bit faster, have a new, subtle pimple today. I honestly don't know.
Might do a test on Sunday. But I'm also scared to do so, because I've only had heartwrenching negatives
Sorry for rambling, had to get it off my chest...
My period is 5 days. So I see it flashing day 6 this month. Last month day 7. XxWhat day in the cycle do you get the flashing smiley? I.e how long is your period
Thanks for starting this thread!
I am TTC for the first time. I came off the pill in September after taking it for 7 years and luckily my periods have gone back to normal straight away.
I’m tracking my cycles on Ovia which is helpful - I feel like I’ve spent my adult life trying not to get pregnant and now suddenly I need to know about cycle lengths and ovulation days
Really interested to read everyone else’s posts because I don’t have any friends in the same boat and we’re not telling anyone we’re trying because I’m worried it might not happen and I don’t want to be questioned about it constantly!
I think that sounds about right and you would be ovulating between days 10-12 which makes sense for a short cycle. It indicates you have a decent luteal phase despite the short cycleMy period is 5 days. So I see it flashing day 6 this month. Last month day 7. Xx
