@DrS44 @AMS19 thank you, I got way too excited when I saw it! 😂 went to BD with DH as soon as I saw it, but he seemed to get stage fright and couldn’t finish (TMI) 😂 TYPICAL! Has this happened to anyone?

DrS44 · 17/11/2020 09:35

@CardioQueen @GreenApplesYo that should say CD29 🙄 maybe it's a bad idea 😂😂

DrS44 · 17/11/2020 09:32

@CardioQueen @GreenApplesYo I wonder should we get into a habit of writing something after our names. Like post withdrawal, CD 8 (is me) OPK 😂 a little disclaimer of who we are.. I think being anon doesn't help remembering although yer names are a little easier! Feel like changing mine so it's an actual word 😂 xx

AMS19 · 17/11/2020 09:31

@positivitytree2020 that is amazing!! Get baby dancing!!

@Emmgrem I would definitely stick to FF. I really dislike Fermometer. Can you share your FF chart and I'll take a look for you? And no your BBT will definitely not be stable off the pill!! Mine was all over the place for the first month

@positivitytree2020 yayyyyy! Told you it was coming! Yes test again in the afternoon with the ICs to see the difference! Great news, delighted for you! Now get into that bedroom with OH and don't come out til Thursday 🤣🤣

DrS44 · 17/11/2020 09:28

@Bells20 ahhhh right that makes sense! I was thinking 😂 sorry I still find this app hard to navigate and follow conversations 🙈

@Emmgrem hmmm I think .7 sounds quite high did you test twice that day? And if you had EWCM? Did you BD?

I woke up this morning quite early (because of my puppy 🙄) took my temp and it was lower than yesterday (36.4 from 36,6) so not ideal.. but went back to sleep for 3 hours, felt roasting when I woke up and it had jumped to 36.9? I know I probably shouldn't look too much into it as it's not as reliable as a proper BBT thermometer!

Gonna do another LH test now to make sure it stays down... xx

Emmgrem · 17/11/2020 09:07

@GreenApplesYo definitely not drinking much alcohol, the old glass in an evening here and there. Getting 8-9 hours sleep every night. Sometimes I have to get up for a wee but I lie down again for a good few hours before I take the temp. I took it again this morning just incase and it went down from 37.07 to 36.96 with my arms out of the covers 😂 but that's still high I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I definitely had CM that stretched between two fingers- though when I took a photo in the Premom app I think it was, it judged it as watery. The highest I tested on an OPK was 'low - 0.71' on Premom , which came up at High 68% on Femometer on CD6!

I'm just thinking surely it's my body adjusting as I only came off the pill at the start of the month. But it does say your base BBT should be pretty stable 🤔

CardioQueen · 17/11/2020 09:02

Hi @Emmgrem - that does seem v early - how long are you off the pill now? I also am forgetting who's doing what and stopped when 🙈 what does fertility friend say? Mine told me I'd ovulated the other day but then it reset after my temp fell back into normal range. It went up for 3 days in a row just from disturbed sleep two nights and a few drinks one night.

GreenApplesYo · 17/11/2020 08:51

Hello! That would be early. Must be because your temp has gone up so much. Is there anything else that might have made this happen, like not sleeping well, drinking alcohol? Are you going opks? sorry I forget what everyone is doing 🙂 it does look from your chart like you had ewcm which could suggest you did ovulate?

Emmgrem · 17/11/2020 08:28

Ladies, help! What the F is going on with my temping/charting?
This morning I entered my temp into Femometer as usual and it's adjusted my info to say that I must have ovulated on CD7 🤔 and that now at CD11 I'm past ovulation and in my luteal phase?? Surely that can't be right, should I just ignore it and stick to Fertility Friend? When would FF confirm the day it thinks you ovulated?

Got a flashing smiley on CB test this morning which means high fertility! 😊 on CD11! Gonna use the cheapies later and see if there’s any progress on them!

AMS19 · 17/11/2020 07:32

@jessi60 yes so interesting to know! Im hoping one of the times we DTD closer to ovulation as it would then have been newer sperm 😂😂

OP posts:
Bells20 · 16/11/2020 21:37

@DrS44 haha no I meant my luteal phase was 8 days last cycle, withdrawal bleed happened 8 days after ovulation. It's early days and I know not a 'proper' cycle so hopefully won't be a long term problem but going to keep an eye on it.

@positivitytree2020 hope yours levels out! Here's to a normal length LP for us both 🥂

@Emmgrem I do wonder that, many of my friends have kids and not once have I heard them talking about this level of planning and preparation!

KitQ · 16/11/2020 21:31

Hey :) CD17. Planning on testing on 24th. AF due 26th. 1 week to gooooo.

jessi60 · 16/11/2020 21:24

None of my friends who have been or are pregnant have ever mentioned trying as in trying even on the right dates 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just not on contraception! @Emmgrem x

jessi60 · 16/11/2020 21:22

Well I don’t rate the whole dtd when it’s timed to a certain date. Feel like I’ve just pestered partner until I got my own way, frig my life 😂 I mean over the weekend was fine because it had been a while as I was on a run of night shifts 🤣

@positivitytree2020 oo looking forward to seeing how you get on 🤞🏼🥰
@AMS19 Wouldn’t it be interesting to know when you actually conceived like which dtd was the successful one hahah. X

positivitytree2020 · 16/11/2020 21:21

@AMS19 Ahhh okay that makes more sense, so I’d just have a longer cycle if I ovulated a bit later! 😊 thank god for these forums is all I can say, wouldn’t have anyone to talk to otherwise! 😂

AMS19 · 16/11/2020 21:13

@positivitytree2020 your prenatal will probably have vit B but might be worth taking extra? LPs tend to stay pretty static month on month, so it is very likely if you ovulate later your LP will stay the same so your cycle is just longer!

@GreenApplesYo I'll see. In a way it feels like a waste when I can clearly see the progression. On the other hand I quite like the idea of seeing the 3+! Although the battery is awful on them, my other one only kast about 3 days! Would have ben a good keepsake 🙄

@Emmgrem welcome!

Emmgrem · 16/11/2020 21:07

Yay new thread.
CD10 today so cycle buddies (ish) with quite a few of you ☺️
Only came off the pill at the start of this month though so trying not to get too hopeful!

Do you ever wonder whether other people do this when they are 'trying' because I swear other than these forums I've never heard anyone talk about OPKs and BBTs and LPs haha 🤷🏻‍♀️ And yet some say they were surprised they fell first month!

GreenApplesYo · 16/11/2020 21:06

@AMS19 that's good progression there! You'll be getting crazy dark lines before too long as well 🙂will you try to hold out a few more days on the cb or just go for it?

positivitytree2020 · 16/11/2020 21:04

@AMS19 Going off various pains I got I think I ovulated around CD12/13, which would be an okay LP if I had 26 day cycle. That’s just me surmising though coz I didn’t do any tracking! 😂

I got the advanced CB for this cycle which is meant to identify your oestrogen rise before the LH rise, has identified sweet FA so far! 😂 Concerned if I have 26 day cycle again that I’m running out of days to identify both oestrogen and LH rise! 😅
Didn’t realise about the B Complex, good idea! I must check are they already included in my preconception vitamins!

@Bells20 that’s still not too bad if it was your first cycle off the pill, a good start! 😊 I am on Cycle 3 now so I’d want to see mine levelling out! At least there are some vitamins out there anyway if we notice a pattern with it!

AMS19 · 16/11/2020 21:00

Haha good luck @drs44 🍆🤞

OP posts:
DrS44 · 16/11/2020 20:48

@Bells20 I'm not sure you'd call that a cycle ? Do you mean it took you 8 days to have a withdrawal? 🙃 xx

DrS44 · 16/11/2020 20:45

@AMS19 @GreenApplesYo LOVING those positives 💃🏼

DrS44 · 16/11/2020 20:45

Hellooo gals! Loving the new name 😂 excited to see everyone's progress too 💛 read more things about a late surge of LH being AF and I'm disheartened again 😂 off to DTD now wish me luck ☘️🤣 xxx
