Ovulation due 27th January / Period due 10th February

So it's our first month ttc, however it's been in the pipeline for a year or so with me coming off the pill etc.

I generally have 30 day cycles and have been using my tracker app to track this which has been really reliable although I know it's not guaranteed. I am due to ovulate on the 27th January and due on my period on the 10th February.

I know the fertile window is 5 days before. Would you do it every day? Twice a day? Every other day?

SO excited to start testing in the next few weeks

Ok just googled it.. it's only been between 3 or 5 days since I ovulated so it can't be an implantation dip. Too early Blush

Hi Lovely ladies!

Mind if I join? I am also due AF on 10th Feb. O on 26th, with lots of DTD during FW.

Cant.Stop.Symptom.Spotting. but I swear I am trying so hard not to 🙈

Are any of you ladies going to start testing or are you holding off until AF is due?

I am really trying to temper my expectations but tbh its only once we really started trying I realised how badly I want this!

Fingers crossed this will be a lucky thread with lots of BFPs!

[quote roxybear]@Leopardprints I also bought one too. So what I understand is that just before O your temp drops then the next day rises until AF when it drops again. Some women notice a dip in temp around inplantation so between 7-12dpo and then the next day it goes back up. However apparently only 1/3 of women notice this. Also without a couple months of data it's difficult to read anything from BBT but I'm still doing it lol x[/quote]
Ooh I didn't know this, my temp has been going up everyday and it had dipped this morning and I felt really disheartened. I hope that it's a good sign then!

Hey @TBay07 welcome! Lovely to have more ladies with us! Keep DTD and let us know how you get on lovely! X

Hi 👋 I'd love to join you all. First cycle TTC currently on day 14 of my cycle. I had a positive Ovulation test yesterday so right in the middle of the crazy part trying to keep some magic alive while DTD 🙈 I have a little boy (20 months) so can relate to finding it difficult with a toddler around!!

Wishing you all lots of luck 🤞🤞❤️ xx

Leopardprints · 31/01/2021 13:14

Oh also what's meant to happen temp wise? I have bought a basal themometer and want to use it but not sure about rises and dips and when they occur? What am I looking for please? X

Leopardprints · 31/01/2021 13:12

Hey @roxybear thank you! This tww always feels like 2 year wait but it's good to have support during it. Makes the time go a teeny bit faster Grin

6dpo is still very early for symptoms as you may not have implanted yet so don't lose any hope! Sticky baby dust to you x

Will you be waiting for missed AF to test?

roxybear · 31/01/2021 12:35

Hey @Leopardprints welcome to the waiting room! Your DTD activity sounds positive! Fingers crossed for you!! I'm 6dpo now with zero symptoms, but it's so early so trying not give up hope too much x

Leopardprints · 31/01/2021 12:33

Hi ladies hope it's ok if I join you? My ovulation was predicted this past Friday 29th jan according to fermometer app combined with having used their opks this month. Got high peaks on 27th and 28th on the sticks and had stretchy ewcm on Friday with some dull cramps I'm my tummy and back. DTD 2 days before, day before and day of ovulation and day after so hoping that's more than enough 😅

Period is due 13th so I'm 2dpo now. Lovely to meet you all x

@ronniemipperton I hear ya sister! 😂🙃xx

ronniemipperton · 31/01/2021 07:48

I had two glasses of wine last night. If you are pregnant it won’t affect the baby at this stage. But if you’re happier not drinking then obviously do that! Undoubtedly better for you anyway, I just don’t have the self control 😆

roxybear · 30/01/2021 23:23

@Misty84 🤣🤣🤣

Misty84 · 30/01/2021 23:18

Ps. Small ones though!!

Misty84 · 30/01/2021 23:16

@cooper96 I’ve had 3 red wines 🤦‍♀️ Spent months not drinking and that didn’t help and I was just miserable without any!😛 I do feel guilty though...must try harder!! x

roxybear · 30/01/2021 22:56

@cooper96 it's so dull isn't it!!! Cannot stop obsessing over whether I am PG or not 🤣 googled so much today about "symptoms" which are defo not symptoms 🤣

Well Saturday night on the TWW is not exciting! Ive become mrs sensible thinking I can't drink " just in case"!!!! I'll be having a very strong one Valentine's weekend if AF arrives!!!! Maybe I'm being too optimistic!! Xx

@EllisRoses I defo would! When is AF due?

EllisRoses · 30/01/2021 10:45

Ooh thanks both. We shall see. Does this mean I have to restart my two week wait 😬😂

SL566 · 30/01/2021 10:00

Yea I agree, wouldn’t rule it out, still a good chance

roxybear · 30/01/2021 09:37

@EllisRoses I still think you're in with a good chance! If you DTD 3 days before O that's good isn't it?!

EllisRoses · 30/01/2021 08:06

It's my first cycle back using natural cycles and of course I forget that the algorithm changes whilst it gets used to the data I put in etc. It confirmed by my temps this morning that I ovulated on CD12. It originally said CD9 (I have really sporadic periods due to PCOS so it seemed believable!) but I only dtd on CD6, CD7, CD9 so I've definitely messed up this month. Blush

Misty84 · 29/01/2021 12:26

Thank you so much @roxybear! Best of luck to you too!🤞☺️

roxybear · 29/01/2021 11:12

Hey @Misty84 welcome! Glad all your tests are ok but must be so frustrating for you. Fingers crossed this is the month!!

r2134 · 29/01/2021 11:09

Hey @EllisRoses I've been feeling really hot since O I even turned the heating off for 3 days now! Husbands not happy! I cannot find my thermometer so I bought one on Amazon last night. Prob getting ill knowing my luck! So hard to not run away with all this symptom spotting isn't it!
