FF put me as 3dpo today, cycle 10, cp at cycle 8. I'm on holiday in the sunshine so hopefully this will do the trick this month! Feel so hopeless after my CP so fingers crossed for this month.

Hello all, how are you doing? I'm crossing timezones tonight so it's going to mess with my temps for the next few days. I'm desperate to get home to my FRERs!! Omfg I'm such a POAS addict. I'm going to try to hold out till Friday, but know I probably wont

@maria2bela I was quite moody last night for no good reason (4dpo) so maybe PMS for me too! I'm almost a week until my period and I usually start to get some cramping around a week before it so fingers crossed I remain cramp free!

@Ohana6419 I thought it was something like that. I'm 7dpo today and itching to test, even though I know it's pointless....never stopped me POAS before though!! 😂

@Islandermum I'm about 4dpo and feeling a bit mood swingey which could be pms 😣

Ohana6419 · 08/07/2019 19:55

@Whyhaveidonethis Resting heart rate is usually elevated after ovulation but should stay elevated or go up even more in pregnancy so fingers crossed that's a good sign for you!

6DPO and starting to get that impatient feeling. It's too early to test but I'm also possibly just a few days away from being able to.

Islandermum · 08/07/2019 19:32

@whyhaveidonethis I have no idea about resting BPM 😅 I'm completely clueless about some of this stuff! Fingers crossed it is a good sign

Hi @Islandermum I'm good thanks. Tired despite 8.7 hours sleep!! 😂

Anyone know anything about resting heart rate and pregnancy? Mine has gone up 5 bpm today from normal. 7dpo today. Hoping not to test till Friday.

@chanel05, @maria2bela @whyhaveidonethis How are we feeling ladies? I'm officially 3dpo today, still feeling quite good in myself, think I'm still riding on the ovulation high that you get!

maria2bela · 08/07/2019 08:33

@Whyhaveidonethis Great! No testing until then lol!

I've got that dreaded feeling too, obviously I'm only 4/5 dpo but I feel completely normal...Ahhh I wish I had a remote to put my brain on pause...

@maria2bela I'm not testing. I'm away in the USA until later in the week so will test when I'm back home.

I was convinced I hadn't caught earlier then a minute ago my sense of smell was in overdrive, so who knows

OP posts:
maria2bela · 07/07/2019 16:18

@Whyhaveidonethis Why do you think that? I know it's hard but try at least hold out until 8dpo as there's more chance of an early positive then (although still VERY early)

Whyhaveidonethis · 07/07/2019 14:43

I'm 6dpo today, even though I know it's stupidly early I want to test. Lol. I'm fairly sure I've not caught this month though

maria2bela · 07/07/2019 13:07

@Islandermum I always think the worst!... Yes feel ok today still a bit moody but won't know until next week if AF shows up 😒

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 11:34

@maria2bela you wouldn't be pregnant yet so don't rule yourself out too soon. Are you feeling any better today? Baby dust to you 🧚

maria2bela · 06/07/2019 23:07

@Islandermum sorry to hear about your MC, hopefully this month is your month c

I think I'm 2/3dpo, today I've felt quite mood swingy, could be a sign of AF due to turn up next week 😣 I suppose we won't know until the time!...Have you been symptom spotting?

Islandermum · 06/07/2019 20:52

@Chanel05 might just be a deviating temp, I get them quite a bit and just discard them, however you very well might've ovulated later than you think!
I'm 1dpo today or ovulation day (different depending on each app!), Pretty sure I'm 1dpo as EWCM disappeared and all OPKs have returned to low.
Already feel crampy and periody but maybe that's just all the sex 😂 does anyone elses OH just become over the moon during fertile week or is it just mine? He said to me last night..."will this last after ovulation..." with a longing look. Don't want to let him down but no it won't 😂

Cycle #2 for me, had an early (unplanned pregnancy) miscarriage in May and have been trying since! Not sure I actually ov'd last cycle so really this might be the first actual cycle.
What dpo are you all on now ladies? Anyone symptom spotting already?

Whyhaveidonethis · 06/07/2019 18:36

@Chanel05 how bloody frustrating. Maybe discard the temperature and wait to see what happens tomorrow?

@maria2bela I just have as much sex as possible over the 5 fertile days and ov day and after. I see very little of DP so I take every opportunity lol.

Chanel05 · 06/07/2019 09:34

@Whyhaveidonethis oh yes of course! We have crossed paths before. Why do you think you've dtd too much?

I'm totally confused now. I've had a 0.5 degree temp drop this morning and ff has reassessed my fertility pattern, I also got a +opk. However, I've been having high temps so goodness knows what's going on Confused

Hi @Chanel05 I think we were on a thread together before. Sorry about your mmc. I had a chemical 2 cycles ago and it's horrible.

I think we've dtd too much this month!!!

OP posts:
maria2bela · 06/07/2019 00:25

@Ohana6419 That makes a lot of sense! Hmm not so sure anymore that I've been busy on the right days sigh

We shall see anyway! Thanks for the link, going to have a read now.

Chanel05 · 05/07/2019 21:16

Hi! I'm 3dpo today, cycle 10 also after mmc cycle 8.

Ohana6419 · 05/07/2019 20:57

@maria2bela The best days are actually the three leading up to ovulation. Ovulation day itself and the day after has some chance, but those three days are even better. So, if you're waiting for a positive OPK, given that you might ovulate that day or the next day, you might miss the best days!

Good article on the studies for this here: www.avawomen.com/avaworld/fertility-calendar/

maria2bela · 05/07/2019 19:56

@Whyhaveidonethis haha if only eh?! Aww I really do hope we get a string of bfps in the next 2 weeks.

In the mean time does anyone care to share any tips for best times to DTD when TTC, I've read that although people do 3 days after they a positive OPK, the best time is actually the few days before that?!

Whyhaveidonethis · 05/07/2019 16:26

Be good to have some moral support to hold off testing @maria2bela. Fingers crossed for us all.

I feel a bit nauseus this morning, and DP asked if it's because I could be pregnant. Sadly had to inform him that his sperm don't work that fast!! 😂
