First time TTC - second cycle

@Sip123 I'm not using any ovulation sticks at the moment but am tracking my temperature.

As per clue app, I am due to ovulate in 2 days and my temperature has dropped slightly this morning (0.2 degrees). I believe me obsessing over it and stressing does things to my body that are unnatural unfortunately. Last time my AF came 7 days early which puts me under even more pressure or I put myself under pressure. It's stupid really.

We have sex every other day at the moment, I don't manage more with an 18 months old toddler at home 😅😂

@frolicmum, I’ve no idea what’s going on have two different opk one Femometer which is showing at 10% at moment and clear blue which only opened pack today first two didn’t work and third showed low fertility, I think I’m due to ovulate around Friday so will see, are you using anything to track ovulation

@Sarah1253 I already have one but never felt like this with my first as I got pregnant straight away.

Now in my second month and I'm exactly like you! I will ovulate in 3 days, so you're definitely not alone! X

@Sip123 just now I'm waiting on a hysteroscopy and a laparoscopy but they have said to TTC and basically when ad isnt here to do it every 2nd day to give the best chance ... not ideal but I'll give it another month and see how it goes

@Laurenemma13 sorry to hear you have had such challenges, did they give you any other advice if it didn’t settle?

@Sip123 not really sure how to process things atm!
I was back and forward at the doctors as I was irregular. Sometimes I'd bleed for 21 days then have a day break and then go again.
Last month I had a 29day cycle, month before that 14 days, 2 months before that were about 33 days. They thought they had it sorted as there was a tampon stuck that they didn't detect even on scans for 5 months 🙈 They thought that had caused it but looks like it's still not sorted

@Laurenemma13, oh no what a rollercoaster of a day. Would you cycle usually be that short

@Sip123 yeah today. Looks like I spoke to soon as af has arrived after only 20 days 😥
Not sure whats going but guess I'll need to wait it out and see x

@Laurenemma13 that’s great news, was that today?

@LeopardLover so excited for you!!

Thankyou x done an opk and just got a positive so appears I was worrying for nothing 😊

@Laurenemma13 Thank you! Hopefully ovulation is on its way for you. 😊

@leftitlate37 Haha thanks! 💖 Yes, I took a CB digital test this morning and got 3+ weeks (I didn't realise you measure pregnancy weeks from the first day of your last period) which brings me to 5 weeks today. I'm not ready to call the GP yet but I'll get there 😉 xx

yaaaaaay! Congrats @LeopardLover!!!this is amazing news!!!! didnt come on here at weekend so only just seen this :):)
u must be over the moon! hopefully the start of more BFPs!!!

@Sip123 I hope so as only 1-2 dpo I think so hoping it is ovulation spotting!
Oh thats good news 😊 that sounds like a good plan. Always worth enjoying it but it's so hard as well cos you just want to male sure the timing is spot on without just waving a pee stick at OH 😂

@Laurenemma13 sounds promising, how many dpo are you?
I finished af a few days ago so due to ovulate somewhere around the end of this will. Going to opk again this month then if still no positive at the end of this month just go with and enjoy it next month as I will have done a few months to know what’s going on

@Sip123 not too bad thanks! Had spotting yesterday and today with some cramps and af due in 10 days so potentially ovulation spotting ...
How you getting on?

@Laurenemma13 how you getting on?

Yeah, I'm going to keep going with dtd every second day and that'll hopefully catch it when it does happen regardless but thinking if I dont get a bfp this month I'll maybe start doing opks or baby as well!
Fingers crossed af leaves you soon and we get that bfp 🤞

@Laurenemma13 nothing silly about emotions.
Have you tried doing bbt alongside opk. I did both last month but reading more I realised I didn’t do opk enough and still missed ovulation as bbt showed I did ovulate. We did dtd over the right time but last month unsuccessful, hooping for better luck this month just finishing af.

@Sip123 thankyou. Juat being silly getting upset.
I had a health scare before we started TTC. For the past few months there has been a day or two where I always have quite a bit of watery stuff and my sex drive is a lot higher than normal. This month I'm not sure now that I'm waiting for it as it doesnt seem to be as obvious as normal and dont know if its just cos we are dtd everyday or every 2nd day! I also ended up doing a few opks which was silly anyway as I only done 3 and they were negative but I might have already ovulated or not at all yet ...

@Laurenemma13 sorry to hear you are upset, what makes you think you haven’t ovulated

@LeopardLover congrats on your BFP! Thata fab news!!

9 times in 13 days, DH is loving it but i'd be lying if I said I wasnt already obsessed and sitting bolt upright this morning crying convincing myself I havent ovulated 😭🙈

@Sip123 Thank you! 😊 Just tissue salts, I read online they can help to support implantation (you take them between ovulation and AF) and I bought them from Holland and Barratt - even kids can take them, so no idea if they did anything 😅

@LeopardLover firstly congratulations secondly what is calc Fluor.
Think I’m on last day of af so anything I need I need to get ordering

@leftitlate37 Hahaha sorry I mixed you up 🙈 @Laurenemma13 - I bow to your energy 😉

@Sip123 I hope you're feeling a little better? Probably a coincidence but this was my first cycle using Calc Fluor and it worked.

@Mamainmaking1 Sorry to hear about your loss 😔 I agree OPKs are a real game changer along with tracking apps! Hopefully this will be your lucky cycle.

I received my BFP yesterday! I was taken by surprise because I had AF symptoms with cramping etc, but I was 3 days late and my BBT remained high and so I took a FRER. Fingers crossed we see more BFPs on this thread. 💜
