First time TTC - thread 2

Also pj according to ovia I'm out of my fw and it's just given me the birthday of any potential mini-busy too... Scary

Didn't know that jj I've gone through all my data and I've never been over 35.5! interesting!

It sucks waiting for AF jj but I'm sure she'll bring along shortly to brighten your day! Have you tried opks or waiting for next cycle?

Thanks pj! Yours hasnt gone over 36.5 either... so I'm either weird as hell or still "pregnant" :(! I'm trying to hold off testing again for another few days.

Thanks girls... Eva even last month though it was still clear that it was lower generally over the first half and then higher so that's good!

My question was that I've read the average before ovulation should be 97 - 97.7f / 36.1 - 36.5c and then between 97.7 - 99 / 36.5 - 37.2c after. I've only been doing it 5 days lol but mine has not gone under 36.5 yet. So I guess my options are either I still have hcg which is making it higher or I already ovulated straight after the mc and am now back in luteal phase already. I guess I won't know until I've done a few more weeks and get af again. Busy yours hasnt gone over 36.5 and Eva yours hasnt yet this month and I'm too blind to make out the numbers on last months lol. Maybe I'm just really hot :/

Hi jj - my chart is below, have no idea how to read it ha ha. My FW moved due to mental timing of ovulation which is why we only dtd on the last two days of it!

Interesting seeing everyone else's!

Here's last months, was all over the place

I temp jj, here is my chart for this month. It's been a lot less erratic this month, think I might have settled down after coming off the pill, and I also started taking Pregnacare this month.

Thanks guys. I've definitely got localised cramps on my right hand side. Feels like it's being squeezed so shall see. I'm pretty sure I can discount this month though.

I think even waiting to 8do when had a proper month you guys have wills of steel!

I temp jj and from what I can gather there is no average in truth. The more I google the more I get that it's not really scientific. I think it's one of those things that you have to follow your cycle for a couple of months and go off your own data. This has been mine for the last two weeks if that helps?

Cinnamon it is surprising how hard it hits you. I was suprised at how heatbroken my oh was too with it being so early on but it's all so exciting, especially with it being our first that were all trying for, and then it's gone again. But it will all be OK. Hope to see you around here again when you're ready xx

Who on here temps? I was wondering if anyone had a chart that looks anything like the sample ones? What are your average temps looking like?

Busy I haven't done ov sticks but looks good to me, maybe you're close?

It's a close one busy but I'd say a negative as not as dark as control line. When I used opk's I found they got darker towards ov, even though still negative. Hopefully your positive is round the corner.
pyjamas haha that was me last month, I even did a test on 8dpo how mental is that!! Time seems to stop during tww!
I'm going to try to be chilled out this month...but I say that every month and it never happens

Ah busy - the POAS madness has well and truly gripped me as well! Great to see you've got more of a line Progress is progress! As far as I know - the cheapies are either positive or negative so I tried and failed to not read too much into the lines unless they were definitely positive, esp since it was a clear negative one day then mega mega positive the next! I haven't got a scooby what my cycle length is, but still found the digi one really useful despite the 12 day flashing face! It was accurate in the end and it's either a yes or a no!

Am only 3dpo and already symptom spotting even though I know it's way too early ha ha

Really sorry to hear that cinnamon sending thoughts your way

Feel a bit awful for following up for this but I'm going a bit loopy. Is this OPK line a low/minimum line still or is it a high? I think I'm going insane staring and pee sticks. If I know my cycle length next month I'm definitely getting a clear blue digital one!

Aw cinnamon you're in my thoughts. I wish you all the best and see you back on MN when you are up to it X

I was the same. Stopped the pill and was casual about it all for about 2 days and then bought all the bits and bobs for properly TTC!
I'm on cd13, 4th day of flashing smiley

Thanks Eva, it's funny, until we decided to try 100% rather than 'just wait and see' I seem to have become a lot more anxious about it all....I'm sure this is a normal reaction...I hope

welcome givingitsago It's probably nothing to worry about. I'm on cycle 4 of being very 'scientific' (charts, temps, opks etc) and nothing yet. It just takes a while. Even when you time everything perfectly there's still only a 25% of getting pg so try not to worry
I'm not one for checking my cm though, that's a step too far for me. But I had so much EWCM yesterday it was hard not to notice it. Obvs glad though, on ff I'm in the middle of FW.
pyjamas I was on the pill for about 12 years so can't blame my body for taking a while to get used to life without it!

Hi,

New here and still working out what most of the abbreviations mean :) so forgive me.
Been off the pill for 6 months but hadn't been tracking cycles or dates etc. we have now decided to be more 'scientific' about it (his term not mine).

Getting excited but worried that nothing has happened in the last 6 months

That's helpful to know Eva! I came off pill in May after being on it for a couple of months and before that had Nexplanon for three years - my system must be extremely confused!

pyjamas I came off the pill in April and I thought this EWCM was a figure of everyone's imagination but I got it today for the first time! Maybe it takes a few months to go back to normal. My BBT has also been a lot more stable this cycle so far..

I don't know if I will be able to hold out that long jj! I think I ovulated on Monday due to peak result on CB digital and positive cheap OPK on Sunday and weird pelvic twangs on Monday - I have next to no CM ever (symptom of coming off birth control I think) and my temps are all over the place, so it's just a guess! Who am I kidding, we all know I'll be testing 10dpo if AF doesn't arrive as predicted a couple of days earlier!

Promising on the darker OPK busy Those tests are so variable depending on time of day, water consumers etc so not surprised you're questioning it! Digi ones recommend FMU, so at least you get it over with, in case you decide to move on to those!

Had two glasses of wine tonight - was going to try and abstain, but then thought I may as well enjoy myself a bit.

jj I know how you feel about looking forward to af a bloody odd feeling isn't it?!

I did do it. Was definitely darker, mine are cheapies though not the digital and not supposed to use fmu with them so now not sure if it's because I slept and it was concentrated or if it's really darker.

Hey :). Yeah I'm ok thanks, its been such a rollercoaster I just feel like I want to get this cycle over with so I can get my af (never thought I'd wish for that!) So that I know what's going on again.

Sorry for your loss cinnamon:'( it sucks doesn't it. Let's just hope the odds are now in our favour and the next one will be OK xx

I know this is silly as well as a baby is a baby but I really don't want a summer one so I'm hoping it happens again by next month so it's a May baby latest. Obviously if it doesn't happen by then then I doubt we would stop trying for months but fx.

Do you think you'll hold out that long pj?! If you know when you ovd then maybe you can test at 10dpo? I'd be too impatient to wait lol.

Did you opk busy?

busy did you do the OPK? They say as long as you have 3 hours sleep it's pretty reliable.
