1dpo! Anyone else?! Let's keep each other sane!

@Toastedsesame reiterate what others have said - one step aren’t great. I did get a peak with them but the line wasn’t darker than the control line. I’ve switched to Femometer ones, and really like them

@Toastedsesame I started using generic ICs but have switched to femometer. I prefer the femometer ones now

@Hannah199y thank you. Just getting annoyed at not knowing when my ovulation window is at the moment. Tracking and hoping it happens soon so I can test before Xmas 😅

@toastedsesame I started off using the one step OPKs but I literally never got even a hint of a positive with them. Not sure if my surges just aren't high enough for them to pick up or what, my peaks are usually 1.3 at most on the premom app. I use the easy@home ones now and find them much better.

Have any of you used the one step OPK's? I'm finding the lines really faint on them..

@MamaMoonbeam
I had a chemical last month and it made me ovulate much later this month. My cycles are generally regular around 29 days but I ovulated around cycle day 21/22. I would normally ovulate around day 15-18.

@Toastedsesame luckily stress doesn't usually effect my cycles, I think it was the chemical.
No peak and no rise in bbt so just sitting tight with it.
Opks are really helpful! I like them 😊

@MamaMoonbeam hmm see what you mean, could it also be stress? Maybe your body is waiting to ovulate and will try again.

I've just started using opks again and I've been putting them into premom now, its really handy! Still low fertility at the moment but ovulation is due in 5 days so I think we'll start the dtd marathon shortly :)

Hope everyone is well!

Wah! Think last month's chemical has fucked with my ovulation. Today is supposed to be ovulation day but haven't seen a peak in lh and bbt hasn't risen yet 😔 mean more dtd until ovulation is confirmed! 😬

@MamaMoonbeam fingers crossed for you. Grief is the worst, hope you’re holding up as well as can be.

@Hannah199y same but then I think it’s too early for symptoms - it’s probably just my OHs cooking 🤣🙈

@Toastedsesame I hope so but doubt it for some reason. I’ve also got lower back ache. But think I just need to move more - being at hone and working from home sat at a desk all day is finally catching up with me. At least in the office you move about more - I was like an old lady walking my dog yesterday 🙈

Sounds promising @Grumpsy ? you too @Hannah199y

@MamaMoonbeam hope yr ok! Losing a pet is a such a sad time. 3 days of DTD you go girl!

Still ages til I ovulate and finally got my hands on some OPK's, negative at the mo.

@Hannah199y last cycle was our first month ttc.

I am not hopeful for this month.... or maybe I'll have my lh peak later? I deffo haven't peaked yet and predicted ovulation is supposed to happen tomorrow. Ugh! This tww is going to be a killer

Grumpsy

I'm 3dpo and also cramping. Sore nips, bloating, peeing more and hungry. Really off symptoms just after ovulation, never had this many before. Normally just had sore nips. Who knows what's going on! Tww hurry up!!!

Mama
I had chemical last month too. It was my second month TTC
Im currently on 3 dpo this cycle x

I'm shattered. Grief is exhausting 😴 really hoping that and our chemical last month doesn't effect potential conception. 1 day til ovulation so 3 days of bd before the wait begins again 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’m currently 2 dpo and cramping like mad 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈 I’d say I got my ovulation wrong but my temp rose so who knows what’s going on

@littleeggcup Doing good, actually feel quite relaxed and not obsessive for a change! Only 2 dpo though so that might change I have no tests in to discourage myself from testing too early!

@littleeggcup Okay thanks! Luckily I've started a new job so plenty to distract me. My app is saying ovulation in 9 days but I have had a ton of ewcm last two days so hoping maybe its wrong and its early this cycle. We've DTD a lot! so think we'd be covered.

@Toastedsesame I tried to keep it all chill and then caved and bought opk’s from amazon 🙈 I suppose at least I know it’s going to be a longer cycle for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

@MamaMoonbeam Oh no, I'm so sorry! He was a beauty, I'm sure he had a lovely life.
I had to have my 14 year old tabby put to sleep a few years ago. Would love another cat but don't think I could deal with that pain again. Hope you're okay. X

@Grumpsy Thats good. I'm on cd10 today. My flo app is saying I won't ovulate for another 10 days, so bit of a wait for me! We are DTD anyway just in case, don't have any OPK's at the moment so just keeping it all chill for now (well, trying)

@Toastedsesame no not as of yet - fingers crossed after last month 😬 how are you doing and what cd are you on?

@MamaMoonbeam Oh he was a beauty. I'm so sorry, that is very good innings and I bet he had a wonderful life.

@Grumpsy any spotting as yet for you?

@MamaMoonbeam I’m so sorry 😢
