I’ve never charted before, but I do appear to have ovulated on time for the first time in a year (hurrah!) I wonder if anyone more experienced than me could possibly tell me if that looks right - have I definitely ovulated? I’m so scared of getting to cd28 again and realising that there’s no period and no pregnancy. I thought temping would take away some of the nasty surprise. Thank you 😌

Yes it looks like you’ve ovulated AND your chart looks awesome!! keeping my fingers crossed for you. But be aware you can have a longer luteal phase than 14 days. Just like you can have a short luteal phase. I’ll assume you have DTD around days 13,14,15 & 16 to maximise your chances.

thank you so much for taking the time to have a look! And yes we did, pretty much 😌 with I think a one day gap around there because of work (mixing practicality with ttc is a git, sometimes)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! How long have you been TTC?

Thank you, mouselove! Just over a year - fell pregnant first cycle but miscarried at six weeks, alas - in October last year. My cycles disappeared and I was diagnosed with pcos, but (she says very carefully) I hope things are starting to pick up again! How about you?

Sounds a similar story to me actually. I’ve been TTC 14 months now. We had a mmc at 10 weeks in early February which was quite traumatic since I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the time and it was super stressful with early scans. This will be our first. I have a luteal phase defect which I’m trying to fix, it’s so exhausting isn’t it. Your chat really does look wonderful. Mine are never that pretty lol. 😊

Oh that is stressful. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s totally exhausting (and expensive!) best friend has just fallen which is of course amazing, but also very hard. I know we have our happy endings ahead - good luck to you! And I hope chart stays looking good, if the past year is anything to go by it’s goinf to end up flying off in some weird direction at some point!

And sorry for your loss too. Having one so early and then nothing after is frustrating and you start to wonder what’s wrong. 😢 We’ve started investigations now so I’m just hoping everything is ok. Good luck to you. Xxx

Alas I’m at 15dpo with no period and no bfp - temp started to drop 3 days ago and nowt. Beginning to think I didn’t ovulate after all. Had ewcm last night but didn’t bd as I had such a crampy tum so really hoping that wasn’t my chance... boo.
