Evening all! I'm 1dpo if premom is to be believed. Been OPKing and this is my first month using pre-seed too. Reckoning I'll order a thermometer for next cycle as I have long cycles and irregular ovulation so BBT plus Opk might work on pinpointing if/when.

I've got some ICs and a couple of FRER but I aim to not test until earliest 14 dpo (if I test at all. I had a peak OPK five days earlier than I thought I would (CD21) so I'll be interested to see if AF arrives any earlier too (42+ day cycles)

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting here! I’ve been reading some other threads and I need an outlet for the 2WW frustration so I thought I’d join you! I can see a theme that DH will only listen to so much!

I am 2dpo second cycle TTC. I have been using digital OPKs. Has anyone else been using this or monitoring BBT? I feel I’m too impatient not to track it!

@AnxiousAnnie86 sorry to hear about your MC. Yes it wont do any harm!
So I've pretty much convinced myself that I haven't got a chance this month, had such a bad cold and now got an eye infection.... so thinking theres no way my body is healthy enough to get pregnant this month. I'll hang around though and see how you girls get on! X

@biscuit13 since August last year, had a MC end of October at about 6/7 weeks, then my periods only returned at the end of Jan so it's been a bit of a struggle! I'm not sure if it will help but it is supposed to get the blood flow going so I'm sure can only aid it, I've read loads of people saying it really helps but could be coincidence x

@AnxiousAnnie86 this is actually only my 2nd month trying so very early on. I've read so many posts though and actually find the science of it quite interesting. How long have you been trying?
Ooh will be interesting to see if that helps! X

I'm also going for reflexology on Monday hoping that's going to help! X

@biscuit13 think I might skip it, I don't want anything to risk the chances of implantation occurring.... how long have you been trying now?

OP posts:
biscuit13 · 16/02/2020 11:38

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm sure it would be ok to have a small amount, I mean that's about the earliest time it could implant and its not using your blood supply until after implantation has occurred. It's up to you, I mean for me personally, I wouldn't but that's because I dont really drink anyway.

@biscuit13 it's tough I'm out next weekend which will be 8 dpo so it's the question of is it okay to have a drink..... I don't have a good feeling about this month, but months when I've had a feeling I haven't been so who knows x

@AnxiousAnnie86 haha! im going to try and be strong this time, but DH is away the week leading up to when AF is due so i'll have to keep myself distracted, although that might help because I want to find out when he's here so we can find out together. So it'll make me wait!

@SS123456 when do you take your temp? Your opks looked so clear and followed the right pattern?! Maybe temping doesn't actually help 😂 it doesn't actually tell you when you are going to ovulate, just makes us paranoid for the rest of the month that maybe we didn't!!

This is is mine,
I'm worried my LH Surge was so low, it was twice that last month! And lasted a couple of days....

@biscuit13 going to try waiting till
11dpo but I know I won't 😭 what about you? X

biscuit13 · 15/02/2020 14:58

@AnxiousAnnie86 oh right! I guess now we wait.... when are you girls going to test? Are you going to wait until AF is due?
@SS123456 oh ok let me know if it is helpful, I was going to but thought it might be something else that gets my hope's up for nothing:(

SS123456 · 15/02/2020 12:00

@biscuit13 this is actually only my first month recording BBT so I'm not too sure yet!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I guess everyone is different so it won't always mean anything if we are not on BBT track which each other 😊

@biscuit13 welcome!!! It only takes on time so you never know! When I was pregnant 4 months ago we only did it once three days before when I must of ovulated!!

@SS123456 your patterns so similar to mine! I'm going to have worrying about my temp dropping back down now! X

OP posts:
biscuit13 · 15/02/2020 11:27

@SS123456 I know... I have seen posts where people have only managed it once and conceived so I know I'm not out completely. Haha
Do you find doing your bbt helpful?

SS123456 · 15/02/2020 11:16

@AnxiousAnnie86 yeah it's dropped back down this morning so we'll see it my BBT goes up tomorrow

@biscuit13 welcome to the club 😁. It would be sods law that this is the month you conceive when you haven't been 100% on it wouldn't it! 🤞🏻fingers crossed it is though!

Hi can I join?
Think i am 1 or 2dpo today. App said I should have ovulated yesterday and that would have been the day after I got a peak reading but, Thursday I got my peak in the morning (but could have started overnight, as the previous evening the line was almost as dark) and then had sharp pains in the evening on Thursday which I thought was ovulation?
Any way, I'm not holding out too much hope this month as me and DH only DTD on Thursday evening because I've been ill so not much chance this month which makes me sad :(

@SS123456 I will try and wait till 11 but it'll never happen!! Maybe I will use the one steps up to period then if I'm late use a better test.. I don't want to waste loads of money on pregnancy tests! Has your opk faded any now? X

OP posts:
SS123456 · 15/02/2020 10:47

Yeah I think I'll count this as 1DPO as my LH peak was definitely yesterday but I'm going to take it with a pinch of salt when it comes to HGC testing early as it could be a day or so out. I'm going to try and be more chilled out this month if I can but we will see! I conceived my DS in my first month trying so I've not had to go through any of this before. When are you planning to test?
