So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

I got my first faint line last Thursday at 3am in the morning. So maybe I should wait til Thursday?

Jem, I'm getting pinching feelings/twinges too! And tingly boobs Blush

radders I got the positive Thursday which went back to nothing Friday, plus I had a shedload of EWCM Tuesday-Wednesday. So I really think it must have happened last week.

Is it far too early for implantation? Wonder what else it could be?!

Jod the sensible lady in me says not to test, but if I was you I'd find it hard to resist. Maybe Thursday morning? Has it been a week since your first faint line yet?
Tee I feel like we didn't dtd enough in the lead up to O. I was expecting all the BDing to be easier! I'm not sure if tonight is my break night? Near positive OPK Friday at 8pm, so assuming surge was in the middle of the night as was negative by lunch time Saturday! I think if DH suggests it we'll go for it 😂

Do you think I should test tomorrow morning ladies?

raddersmrs · 11/04/2016 21:33

Thanks nimisha, that's really helpful.

Tee you only need to do it once to be successful and it's near ovulation so you never know. Will have to try and do some gentle persuasion tonight.

Thanks Radders! My temp went through the roof this afternoon and banging headache. I don't even think it's ovulation related now, just feel rubbish. Talk about bad timing, wanted to get a bit more BDing in!
So we only DTD CD7, CD9, and CD11 (all days pm only). Then I think I ovulated CD12 but could have been today CD13. Really think that's not enough action for success, so a bit down in the dumps about that. No way will DH cooperate tonight.
Oh well, 2ww for me, and only time will tell!! x

radders here's hopefully a copy of my chart. You can see my temp dips right down to about 36.1 (if it works)

Hi all, still new to the site and posting but want to say hi and join in the chat! xx

Nimisha · 11/04/2016 21:09

I'm CD 8 Star so waiting to ov. Last month it was on CD 15 but the previous two were more like CD 21. This is the first month without a mirena coil though so who knows what will happen.

I'm on vitamin b complex so it's got b6 (50mg) and b12 but only started it today so don't know whether it will have an effect or not.

Wow there's so many of us now I'm losing track! I wish on the app you could go back to all the posts but it seems to only go back to the very last one. I forget who to reply too. I remember what people said so may not put names... Apologies in advance.

Parney, i also want more hot drinks when dieting.. But I drink berry tea from aldi and peppermint tea.

Suchajem have you tried another opk? It does seem a bit late to be ovulating if you had opk on Thursday. I think it can take upto 72 hours to ovulate. Although I've read different things as some say that and some say between 12 and 36 hours. Your pains sounded like ovulation to me though as the egg wouldn't have implanted that early but I'm no expert and probably wrong. Have to give them hips another workout just in case...!
I've actually just realised I'm exactly same CD as you .. I had my peak opk on Wednesday.

I'm 4 or 5 dpo now I think. Not sure when I ovulated exactly. No symptoms at all for me yet. How early do you think you can get symptoms?

When people have a temperature dip before ovulation, what on average does it dip to?

I don't get ewcm really - mainly like water

CD10Star. I'm loving this idea of the CDStarStarStar. Keep it up ladies, it's very helpful.

Jod1985 · 11/04/2016 20:28

CD 28 Star (I think)

Footprints with my second DC I didn't get much EWC, I don't think it's necessary!

SuchaJem · 11/04/2016 20:17

CD 19 Star

Footprints does sound like you're ovulating if you've got a positive plus ov pains. Def get on the DTD case if you can!

I don't know if I can face DTD again tonight... We had so much last week my hips hurt! Tmi!

Parney · 11/04/2016 20:12

Ah physicskate!!! Great news you're officially getting started!!

physicskate · 11/04/2016 20:09

Yay!! I'm finally on CD1!!! Hurray! Only 7 days late... grrr..

Officially TTC cycle #1!!!

B6 worked for me! I had an 8 day LP cycle before last. I started taking B6 about CD31 and I ended up with a 10 day LP! Whoop! I am only on 50mg (and taking it with B12) because I have read that high doses can cause nerve damage if taken for a long time (several years)...

I clearly am not relaxed about this, so I can sympathise with the upset opalescent! Racja, I totally already have the timetable sorted! I live by timetables!

Parney · 11/04/2016 20:08

CD15 Star Maybe we should start some of our messages (if you think it and not when posting lots in one day) with our CD? Incredibly anal but saves a lot of scrolling back and repeat questions! I don't know!
This part of the cycle has actually gone quite quickly this month for me, it's the 2ww I'm worried about! I suppose I'm technically in it?!
My problem when dieting is I tend to drink more coffee! Barely drink it otherwise but when I've no treats I appreciate the hot drinks more! Very aware of reducing caffeine levels though, can't win!

Mimilicious013 · 11/04/2016 19:46

That's a clever idea footprints you don't want to be constantly asking what CD? 😂

Lately not much ewcm. More watery than anything (sorry tmi). You best pin dh. U just might be ov.

Sorry racja for af
Good luck this month

Footprints1 · 11/04/2016 19:30

Good positive thinking racja.

Welcome to all the new ladies!! Think I'm going to write a list of people on a pad with their cd days and ov so I know who is doing what when ! Smile

Few ladies ahead of me in their cycle so can't wait for your 2ww with symptom spotting etc.. So exciting.. This could be a lucky thread Smile

Footprints1 · 11/04/2016 19:27

Nimisha, b6 is supposed to be good for short leutal phase. I know someone who took 100mg a day and her leutal phase doubled! Good luck. Can give you cramps on an empty stomach.

I'v had pains today feels like ov- opks have dark lines but I've not had any EWCM ? So am confused if I'm ov'ing or not. DTD just incase yesterday, day before and will pin him down tonight just incase! Thinking my LH is up but not ovulating?! I'm only on cd10
Anyone else get no EWCM? I got it last month? But on cd23. Weird

Racja14 · 11/04/2016 19:17

AF got me yesterday but I'm feeling positive this month! OPK tests arrived this morning and instead of being disappointed I took it as a new start and a new opportunity. DH is worried I'm going to set a DTD timetable Grin

Mimilicious013 · 11/04/2016 18:34

Hello nimisha good luck ttc. Hope it's short and sweet

Mimilicious013 · 11/04/2016 18:32

jod fx it's a bfp hun!! Another day or two fx.

Well-done parney on the diet. Hope u can keep the willpower!!
