New Cycle starting 13/01/21

Mine is all over the place, I have a dotted crosshair because cd16 is confusing it. I don’t know what went on there but I’m pretty sure I ovulated, had an AFC scan on day 15 and my big follicle was very much there.

I temp vaginally and I think it makes a difference to your temps, they were a bit different to when I did it before (as a bonafide mouth breather I decided to switch it up).

@Amz6219 I've been putting in the RHR manually from my Fitbit every day... not fun I'll admit 😅 but wanted to see it in a graph! The fact that it dropped so much doesn't bode well. I will try and keep hopeful just incase it was too early though 🤞

Your temperatures look a lot better than mines as mines do seem quite low (35.75 during AF). I've been taking readings orally too but I noticed I've been waking up with my mouth open a lot which might be messing with the temps. Over the last few days I've started closing my mouth when I wake and lying still for a minute before taking the temperature and hopefully that's more accurate.

Have you got the free premium trial since starting on FF? I've been moseying around the community charts gallery as you can compare with pregnant charts and overlay your own. Quite interesting

Hi @2020mission!

I was the opposite, I was getting fed up and totally disheartened because it was dragging on 🙈 was panicking that it was going to be an anovulatory month.. luckily I spotted the EWCM so got a few days before ovulation in!

Crazy that your CD21 is 10dpo and it was ovulation for me!

Yep taking orally around 7am. How does the testing heart rate work??

Only 10dpo, give it a couple of days and try again - everything crossed for you! 🤞☺️ X

Hey all just jumping in as my current cycle this month also started on 13th January 👋 hope that's ok.

@Amz6219 I also started charting this month on FF. I'm finding it both interesting and stressful 😅 my temperatures seem a bit erratic. I've attached mines so you can compare if you like... I ovulated quite early this month for some reason. In fact I panicked and had to DTD every day because of it I wasn't expecting it so soon! Are you taking your temps orally?

Unfortunately I don't think this is my month as I tested today on a FRER and it was BFN 👎🏻 hopefully the rest of you have some luck though!

I seem to have missed some messages here for some reason!! I’m in the dreaded TWW, started charting this month and it originally had today as 4dpo but changed to 3dpo (felt ovulation pain this month so knew really). Feel totally fine with no symptoms to spot!

Late ovulation for me too! Peak OPK CD19 and ovulation CD21! Ended up with 11 flashing smileys on clearblue!

Added my chart because it’s first month and I find it so interesting! ☺️

Hope everyone is getting on ok? X

Yeah, I am. I got my CB peak day 15 and pretty sure I ovulated day 17, so I am now 4dpo and definitely in the 2ww except I seem to have a shorter luteal phase so it’s more like the 11 or 12 day wait lol.

I’m ok so far and experiencing nothing whatsoever but it’s been so long that I also sort of don’t expect it to work and just wait for AF to show her ugly face again . I don’t test unless I’m late and if I ever do AF will show up hours later without fail so I just try to wait her out.

Where are you at? Are you sure you missed it? @KeepSmiling89

@KeepSmiling89 I’m pretty sure I ovulated on cd 18/19 this month which is later than I expected but got a pretty strong positive OPK on the morning of CD18 so now in the 2WW! Completely disregarded the HCG test I did, I just had line eyes and thought I’d ovulated early but I’m pretty sure now that I didn’t!

Trying my hardest not to symptom spot this time, especially earlier on when I wouldn’t have even implanted yet!! Going to try and hold out to at least 10DPO to test, although I’m not sure I will😂 how about you? How’s it going so far for you?

I’ve got to the point where I’ve decided “committed” aka much more dtd is required because it hasn’t worked for us just doing it once or twice or three times in the fertile week. Wanted to try the every other day all month plan but my dh was sick at the start of this cycle so went all in on the every day plan instead.

It’s ok so far @Amz6219. I tried it last summer and it bored me because I hate routine but since we had no luck between the poor attempt at summer charting and the end of the year I decided try again but do it properly (same time each day etc). So far it’s starting to give me a good indication that I ovulate later than CD14 (more like 17/18 for me) which I had suspected but wasn’t sure of. Will keep it up and hopefully a pattern will be revealed. How’s it going for you? Have you found it ok? I take it you can’t see signs of ovulation appearing on it yet?

Can someone please bring me back to reality and stop my major line eyes here?! Why do I feel like I can see the tiniest daintiest start of a line on this invert image? @KeepSmiling89 @Amz6219 can you confirm that I’ve got line eyes please?😂 also, did a test because I’d convinced myself I’d ovulated early this month, then kept getting positive ovulation tests today so thought why not do a HCG one😂

How has charting been @thislittlebird? My first ever month doing it, quite like having it as a graph but don’t think it tells me much yet.. x

@thislittlebird yeh you’re right, I know if I don’t I’ll be disappointed so might as well give it one last go then have a few days rest! 😆

10 days is commitment!! Good going!! Fingers crossed this is the month for you x

I would keep going just in case @Amz6219. I had my peak on a CB monitor on CD15 and ovulated CD17 so it’s all very hard to predict. Maybe I’m overdoing it this month but we managed every day bar one for 10 days this month because the more “relaxed” approach has got us nowhere for months and months now so it’s been more of a military procedure for January lol.

Had blazing positive yesterday morning, now back to negative so I’m conflicted whether to DTD again tonight for the 4th in a row or have a rest!! 🙈 definitely TWW as of tomorrow (if not today) too @thislittlebird x

@KeepSmiling89 pretty sure mine was yesterday (if my temps go the right direction tomorrow that should confirm it) so I’m now likely 1dpo and counting down the terrible 2ww, I’ve a 29 day cycle almost all of the time.

I’ve been a crazed woman with OPKs, lost count how many I’ve been through!! Although I started at CD9 and finally got my peak today on CD20!

I’d definitely say positive or verrrrrry close @KeepSmiling89!! Eek!! Xx

So looking back at my ovulation tests for this month... I appear to have got very close to positives (for me anyway) on CD 6,7,9 and then it dipped to almost nothing, now it’s rising again slightly for the past 2 days. Have I ovulated early or?? So confused!

*for me

My cycle started the 13/01 too! That’s all I have to add really lol. What’s your usual length @KeepSmiling89? I think it might be ovulation day today to me, hoping temps will confirm tomorrow.

I would say yes! I think that's as strong as I've ever gotten them 😊

@KeepSmiling89 how exciting for you! My ovulation I think is way out this month, I think going by EWCM, I might only just be ovulating now? Who knows, baby dust to you too!!
