Ovulation.. lets go again !

I have been taking the wellwoman conception and my partner the male one. I also take extra vitamin d.
We eat fairly healthily anyway and more so as I we have an allotment and lots coming off of that. Tonight I read of conception yoga. I realise reading all these things doesn’t help me relax but I feel I should be doing something... so you know what I mean?

@Sip123 I have a folate and vitamin D deficiency so I started taking them a month before TTC, I’m also taking iron with vitamin C and also magnesium. I do feel a lot better from taking them ☺️

@Nam095 Its such a puzzle working it all out 😆 I had really strong cramps last month, but this month they were no where near as intense! Sounds like your cramps are ovulation pains to me! I know what you mean its a lot of guessing 🙈 I'm still doing an opk each day just in case I was wrong about my ovulation 😆 Thank you 😊

@Sip123 I am tempted to buy one... as like yourself I struggle to read the opk strips? Really? My cycles vary between 32 and 34 days so I usually ovulate day 15 or 16 or so I think I'm finding! I have been taking pregna care vitamins for a month now and they seem to be okay so far, i have suboptimal vitamin D so went with one with the vitamin D being higher. I've really focused on my diet too, making sure I eat plenty of fresh veg and fruit! I find the science behind it all really interesting 😆

@Jemmy94 and @Nam095 out of curiosity are either of you taking any supplements/ vitamins etc, I find myself over googling this also!

@Jemmy94 I would say it just gave me a lot clearer idea earlier as I struggle to read Femometer ones even with intelligent reading thing. But I don’t know if would keep buying once I have a clear idea of what’s going on... ideally would get pregnant and not need too!!!

I ovulate around day 10 so would have missed it if not for tracking

@Jemmy94 @Sip123 I use femometer as well ☺️ I mainly use it for OPKs and symptom spotting, I got my peak opk on 20th and 21st but then got weaker in the afternoon, but I seem to get symptoms every day and it’s always the same ones so I can’t differentiate them to anything. I had cramps a few days before and then on the day I think I ovulated I had sharp pain in the right side of my abdomen, as if the ovary was prepping to release the egg. Just wish I could find out for sure that I ovulated this time. Congrats to you both on your future weddings ☺️ I’ve been with my partner for 9 years and no ring yet 😂

@Nam095 I use fermometer too, although it hasn't been accurate so far on my cycles at first but it does readjust itself once it has all the information! I use it for bbt, opks, cm, symotoms, diet, sleep, tablets dtd pretty much everything! Looking at your chart confuses me (im only just learning how to read them myself) I think the general rule is that you have around 6 days of low temps then when you ovulate your temp goes up between 0.2 degrees and 0.5 degrees but you have 3 readings of a high temp then sometimes if you implant you get a dip afterwards in temp? I hope that makes sense? Did you have any other signs at all with ovulation like cramps or?

@Sip123 We have so much in common there! I use the fermometer app, i believe I caught the end of my ovulation warning from my opks, my app was quite far off this time but readjusted itself! Are the clear blue ones worth the money?

I too am getting married on May 15th next year it was supposed to be 27th of July this year (might have to skip ttc next month so im not due on my wedding day!)

opks not oils!!

@Nam095.. I use Femometer... but mainly as a recording mechanism, it hasn’t guessed the pattern 100% but given guidance. in the months I’ve done it my ovulation has peaked and temp risen one to two days later last month stayed high for a week this month who knows.. this month I used the Femometer oil’s and clear blue..
I keep over googling and know that doesn’t help..
we are due to get married and don’t want to book venue until we are pregnant and had first scan which I know is just me putting pressure on us even more

@Jemmy94 @Sip123 what apps do you ladies use? I use fertility friend for their chart as apparently they’re meant to be really good but mine hasn’t detected ovulation yet, I thought I ovulated on 21st due to OPKs but I thought FF would have detected the ovulation by now? From my chart do you you think I have? My temps have been erratic since I had my failed ovulation attempt 3 weeks ago so the measurements before this week may be throwing the app’s calculations off. I hope I have ovulated this time 🙁

Same here! Its been interesting learning about my body 😊 I hear you on the worry and stress! My search history may suggest other wise 😅 i get usually get bad cramps when i ovulate! I know what you mean I can't wait for my turn this will be our first! 😊

@Jemmy94... well I have found it interesting learning about my body at least I can tie my sore boobs each month to ovulation now 🤣
But otherwise trying not to over panic and worry and stress when we so desperately want this...
how about you?

@Sip123 Hello!! I ovulate on the 19th I believe this month im now 4 dpo, also my second time trying with opk and bbt! How are you finding it??

Hi ladies can I join in your chat, I ovulated on 21st, second month trying and using opk and bbt

@Emmaemma23 I will do 😊 Im still getting used to using OPKs I could have possibly ovulated on day 14 or 15 as my OPK line showed to be quite dark and my temp dipped then shot up! I just keep testing everyday on the OPKs just incase 🙈

@Emmaemma23 yeah I’m temping, it rose today so that’s a good sign that I potentially ovulated yesterday. Just hope it stays elevated, can’t emotionally deal with another failed ovulation 😔 are you thinking of temping?

Has gone used Conceive plus lubricant? Any reviews? Thanks

@Nam095 wonderful, thanks - and fingers crossed for you xx

@Ruthsoph yep, it’s only positive (your peak) once the test line is as dark or darker than the control line, like mine yesterday. You ovulate around 24hrs after the peak ☺️ x

@Nam095 thank you - when you say peak do you mean the darker the line gets ?

@Ruthsoph I’d starting testing a few days before I’m supposed to ovulate, so for you I’d say from about 25th, as you never know you might ovulate at a different time than what your app says. Test once every day (try do them the same time each day and don’t use first wee) until you notice a peak and then test a couple times on the day you get a peak, and then continue testing once a day for a few days after your peak. Just because you get a peak by the way doesn’t mean you ovulate (which is what happened to me) so your body might try again in a few days time, so that’s why you should keep testing after your initial peak x

@Emmaemma23 when do you start testing using those sticks - one app is telling fine 28th and one is say 30th as fertile time and are you doing 2 a day? Sorry for all the questions but I just want to get right x
