I have no idea haha! I have around 27-29 day cycle but I have never confirmed ovulation. Using sticks this cycle to narrow it down and find out

I’ve got a 28 day cycle and ov on cd15/16

8DaysAWeek · 02/08/2018 08:07

Basin I have a 29 day cycle and ovulate CD 16/17, if that helps at all! I think the average is 14 days before your cycle ends isn't it? So if it's a 28 day cycle CD14 is most likely.

BasinHaircut · 02/08/2018 07:54

alice mine was pretty early which probably puts me ahead.

Whisper of a line on OV stick this morning.

No idea what CD I’ll ovulate on as it’s my first ‘proper’ cycle. When do you guys all ovulate?

I forgot to temp 2nd day in a row... think il just restart that idea next cycle haha!
Going to start testing from CD11.
Your all in front of me now due to my late period!

CD8 for me. Starting clear blue advanced ovulation tests tomorrow which is exciting. Never used the digital ones before. Will be interesting to see how they compare. I'm also managing to temp the past few mornings without issue. Can't say I'm not being proactive!!

TinyPaws · 01/08/2018 21:02

I'm CD 10 now but unfortunately can't try again this cycle. A bit jealous of you ladies that can! Planning IVF, probably in October. Working lots of overtime to help fund it!

BasinHaircut · 01/08/2018 19:19

CD12 here and did my first Ov stocks today, both negative. Haven’t DTD at all yet due to me being away until last night but going to do it tonight and do EOD at least through fertile period and hopefully more often when I get a positive.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 01/08/2018 11:05

I’m cd11 today.

We dtd every second day from cd8 and I start opk on cd10. Then once opk positive we dtd for 4 days straight.

The sticks are negative until the test line is as dark or darker than the control line, but if you test twice a day from cd10 you should see them get darker.

CD 6. First day after my period and I already forgot to take my temp first thing 😂 I'm rubbish at this haha. Got my ovulation sticks, but no idea when to start taking them? Or when in the day? And do the lines have to be exactly the same, and when they are does that mean your about to ovulate? I'm clueless!!!

@alicepol sorry you are out but fx for next month. I've been using opks for 2 months and found them helpful. We didn't manage to bd at the right time last month but as this is a struggle for us the opks help us to aim for the right time. I found that the apps said I was ovulating later than I was.

Exciting @8daysaweek ! I've ordered a pack of 10 ovulation tests and 10 pregnancy tests with a thermometer so that will do me for the next cycle 😂

Oh so sorry to hear @MissNena had my fx for you!
At least we can all now move on properly to the next cycle

OP posts:
MissNena · 28/07/2018 15:56

Well I am officially out. Explains all the bfn. Pleased I can start next cycle now. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for everyone!

8DaysAWeek · 28/07/2018 11:26

Ooh how exciting! My 30, yes THIRTY, cheapie pregnancy tests came in the post today! Fed up of spending £££ on FRERs.

8DaysAWeek · 27/07/2018 20:23

No I've read that temping during your period is unnecessary as it fluctuates quite a bit during it so doesn't add much info. Perfectly fine to start when it ends.

alicepol · 27/07/2018 19:56

Thank you all. I won't be getting my basal thermometer until a couple of days, does it matter or is it best to go from first day of period?
Ordered some ovulation strips as well.
Keeping fx for you @MissNena keep me updated!

MissNena · 27/07/2018 18:53

@alicepol so sorry that your AF has arrived! Good luck for your next cycle, I’ll keep my FX for you x

8DaysAWeek · 27/07/2018 18:45

Sorry to hear @alicepol :( it's not totally unusual to ovulate a few days later in a cycle, we just don't realise it happens now and then until TTC. I'm going back to opks this month too, not knowing when to really expect AF is a horrible feeling, especially if it's later than expected and we start getting hopes up, even just a little. Hugs ❤️

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 27/07/2018 17:54

Oh no @alicepol I was so hoping it was your month.

alicepol · 27/07/2018 17:42

That's me finally out! AF has unfortunately come! At least I know now and can move on to the next cycle. Will defo be buying ovulation tests for this cycle as well as temping and hopefully start to get a better picture.

Hi I'm new here can I join the 2ww?
I'm 31
Ttc #1
Af due 6 August.
Think we caught ovulation using opks. It's hard to say what cycle we're on. I came off the pill in January and we struggled to have enough sex/and at the right times in the first few months. Didnt want to but been using opks for 2 months now and at least we can concentrate the bd-ing when we need to!
It's been useful to find this community and see there are others in a similar boat!

I reckon I've just ovulated later then in that case unfortunately. Keep feeling like AF is defo coming soon!

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 27/07/2018 12:35

It can only be that you’re pregnant or ovulated later, 🤞 for the first!

Your luteal phase (time after ovulation/tww) will always be the same. Mine is 13 days so I know that I will get my period 13 days after confirmed ovulation. I think that it’s anything less than a 10 day luteal phase is a case for the GP.

How annoying and frustrating! @missnena
I would say if still nothing a week after AF due to go to GP.
If not pregnant there may be another reason for missed period which they may want to look into.
I think I will be doing that if no AF or BFP by next wednesday.
Hopefully you just ovulated late and just too early for BFP. FX for a late BFP!
I'm going to wait until Sunday to test next if still no AF.

OP posts:
MissNena · 27/07/2018 11:36

Unfortunately not! Did another test this morning and it was a BFN I didn’t opk this month so maybe I did ovulate later, I’m not going to test again until mon as that would be a full week late if AF hasn’t showed up by then. How long would you wait until you went to gp for late periods?
