TTC & due to OV around the 22nd March? Come on in!

Decided to set up a thread for ladies due to ovulate some time around the 22nd March. If you're due to OV around this time, come on in!

I find these easier to follow than the big month-long threads.

Thought we could all test at similar times, discuss our crazy symptom spotting, and all the other "fun" around TTC.

You're doubly welcome if you're a POaS addict like me Grin

About me:
33
This will be cycle 5 after TFMR last year.

TTC our first

I've tried conceive plus, preseed, all manner of ovulation kits, etc.

This month I'm going to focus on losing half a stone. I've put a lot of weight on since my TFMR. I think i could be disadvantaging myself. I'm also going to cut down on caffeine throughout the who cycle.

I've also bought the Harvard medical school Fertility Diet book, all backed up with science so I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

Here's a summary if anybody interested: www.urmc.rochester.edu/medialibraries/urmcmedia/fertility-center/education/documents/fertility-diet.pdf

Robbo it will mean that your surge has been, so the LH levels have dropped but you should ovulate within 36 hours of your LH peak (when you get a static smiley/positive cheapy). When you ovulate the egg is good for 12-24 hours so I'd say today is your O day.

So this was yesterday, about 5pm .. and then this morning about 7am I was back to the blank circle and hardly a 2nd line on the cheapie...
what does this mean? Have I ovulated already? Hmm

Ohh exciting ❤️🤞

Kinsella82 · 22/03/2019 08:20

@deathbycats thanks
The dating won't bother me too much if it's only by a few days and all is looking ok please god.

On my second baby I came off the pill on 17th Nov and got BFP on 6th Feb and had no bleeding whatsoever inbetween so that was a hard one to date!!

deathbycats · 22/03/2019 08:15

It would be initially but you’d probably find they change based on how the measurements are. With DD my due date was brought forward by four days because I must have ovulated early that cycle. Only really a concern if you’re wanting time sensitive antenatal checks done though.

plipliop · 22/03/2019 08:00

@Kinsella82 that is a line!

Kinsella82 · 22/03/2019 08:00

Yeah I'll get more reliable tests today and see if I can hold off til tomorrow morning.

Would it not still be dated by LMP?

deathbycats · 22/03/2019 07:57

If you did O on cd8 that would put you at 10DPO today and it’s deifnitely possible to get a BFP at 10DPO. Try another test later/tomorrow to be sure but other than that I’d be waiting and seeing! The only thing I’d be concerned about is how to date the pregnancy prior to any scans.

Kinsella82 · 22/03/2019 07:49

Oh Jesus I can't get my head around this. Trying not to get my hopes up too much as I've seen so many get bfp and then get AF.
BUT I'm so confused. We dtd on CD8 and now I'm on CD18 so wouldn't that be too soon to even get a bfp even if I did O on CD8?
We dtd every second day. Looking back on my app I had sore boobs that day and on CD10 I had very low pains on right hand side which I always wonder are they Ov pains... so confused.

Robbo93 · 22/03/2019 07:42

@Kinsella82 I would say there is a definite line on both of them tests! No squinting, no zooming - very obvious!!

deathbycats · 22/03/2019 07:41

That’s a line!! OPKs can produce lines when you’re pregnant but pregnancy tests can’t produce a positive based on LH.

Kinsella82 · 22/03/2019 07:23

Help!
I don't know what to think!
I decided to to a Pg test this morning along side the opk and it looks like there's a line on the pg test?!
As far as I'm aware I haven't O yet unless I did super early at CD8 or 9 as I wasn't doing opks then and had lots of EWCM?!
Is this a line? Kind of freaked!

@Kinsella82 thanks. We have talked about #3 for the last couple of years but this year decided to go for it.

It's now or never!

Kinsella82 · 22/03/2019 06:37

@plipliop who cares what people think! It's your choice!
Mine are 7 and 4. Girl and boy

plipliop · 21/03/2019 22:08

How old are your children?

I think people will think we are crazy with a 10 year age gap.

Kinsella82 · 21/03/2019 21:59

Welcome @plipliop ! We have similar stats, same age and TTC no. 3!

plipliop · 21/03/2019 19:09

I haven't tracked ovulation or temps at all.
Just going by my period tracking app.

I'm a novice to the BD science!

plipliop · 21/03/2019 19:07

Hi everyone Smile
I'm 36 TTC #3.
Have 2 DS11 and 9.
Cycle 1 CD18 4dpo.

I think I might be out of the running this cycle as I've had a terrible stomach bug and haven't kept anything down for 24hrs Sad

Michellebops · 21/03/2019 19:03

Thanks Robbo xxx

Robbo93 · 21/03/2019 18:58

@Michellebops oooooo fingers crossed for us both!! Xx

Michellebops · 21/03/2019 18:52

I'm cd12

Michellebops · 21/03/2019 18:52

@Robbo93 snap!

Negative this morning but j noticed the second line was darker than yesterday.

Showed my partner who is luckily back home and told him his luck was in 😂

Robbo93 · 21/03/2019 17:28

CD20 and I finally have my smiley face on the clearblue digital!! Although the two blue lines are not similar in colour at all? :/

I also have slight cramping downstairs which made me do another test this eve after a faint 2nd line this morning..

I think that's my surge over. Negative OPKs today after 3 good strong positives yesterday. I'm assuming today is O day and tomorrow is 1DPO. Although when I put todays negatives into Glow, it changed from saying today is O day to today being 1DPO, even though I definitely only started my surge yesterday. So I deleted today's OPK result from the app to avoid confusing the situation. FF still says today is O day with a + yesterday and - today (though not temping so can't be 100%).
