Let’s start with us and add others if they pop up on the other thread. Hopefully March is our month and we get a Mother’s Day BFP 🤞🏼
Cd1 for me!

@jodielouise26 that's an incredibly long LP, did you track ovulation?

jodielouise26 · 04/03/2021 08:10

@Cakelaur around 16 days I think 🙂

Cakelaur · 04/03/2021 08:07

@girlmummy25 well done you. We've done about a week straight, with the odd night off. I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated. But we DTD last night too (which could be 3days past ov) which is a total waste I know, but my temp only rose this morning, so glad I did because now I feel like I've actually covered every base! Normally we would do day before peak, peak and day after peak. And usually I ovulated the day after my first peak.

Cakelaur · 04/03/2021 08:04

@jodielouise26 how many dpo now? Could it just be implantation? Or just from DTD?

1sttime21 · 04/03/2021 07:22

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed we aren't getting married until November ... Congratulations to you too🎉

jodielouise26 · 04/03/2021 06:44

Fingers crossed for you @Cakelaur !

We dtd last night.. I woke this morning spotting 😞 I guess AF is on her way..
I'm out 😒

Cakelaur · 04/03/2021 05:42

Drum roll please!!!!! AND WE HAVE A TEMP SHIFT!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Cakelaur · 03/03/2021 22:44

Ladies cross everything for my rise tomorrow! DTD again tonight! I'm DOOOOONE! Peak test was Sunday and Monday.
DTD Wednesday, Thursday, saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. If I don't have a temp shift tomorrow, I'm giving up!!
I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Sunday, but who knows! 🙈

girlmummy25 · 03/03/2021 21:55

How many days after ov do you DTD? I normally do the day of ovulation and the day after but I might do the day after that as well this month... just to be on the safe side.

Tonight is 6 days straight of DTD. Ive had enough haha. But want the best odds

dippyegg32 · 03/03/2021 20:32

@1sttime21 we are getting married next year too! But more towards end of summer! When are you getting married? Congrats 🎉 x

1sttime21 · 03/03/2021 20:14

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed I wanted to have a break so I wouldn't have a Xmas due date but my fiance thinks I'm being daft🙄 definitely be having a long break soon though because we are getting married next year and I really don't want to be a pregnant bride

1sttime21 · 03/03/2021 20:11

@WillowRose1411 normally I would be like I'm definitely just going to test early 😂 not this month though

Misswhoshallnotbenamed · 03/03/2021 20:09

@WillowRose1411 ahh thanks so much for explaining. I may have to PM you if I try that next time if that’s OK! Appreciate it 😘 Thanks so much! Ahhh thank god I’m not the only one... I felt selfish thinking that way. But yes I have a big event next year too so am also wanting it to happen quickly!

We are all in this together ladies 🤞🏻 We will get our BFP’s x

@Misswhoshallnotbenamed ‘peak’ is your peak LH surge. LH is the hormone that is released before you ovulate and when you get your peak on a test most women ovulate 12-36 hours after this.
Bbt is pretty easy to do and can be the most accurate way of tracking your cycle if done properly. If you have any further questions about it feel free to pm me I’m happy to help 🙂
No I completely understand and I would be the same regarding an Xmas due date. But time is ticking for me a little bit as I have an important event in JUNE 2022 I don’t want to be pregnant for or have a young baby under 4/5 months so really want to conceive in the next few months or will have to stop for a while! I know some ladies on here are the same regarding next month though and you need to do what’s right for you xx

@Annannanna yes definitely if he is up for it then do it!
I’m not due until the Tuesday after Mother’s Day @1sttime21 so I won’t be in time for mother’s days either. If I get a bfp! 🤞🏼

@WillowRose1411

Oh god not come 😂 cp (cervical position!)
😂😂😂😂😂
Misswhoshallnotbenamed · 03/03/2021 19:24

@1sttime21 I’m new to this... what does peak mean? Do you mean you’ve ovulated? Sorry if it’s a stupid question 🤣.

Also I notice all of you check your temperatures by the looks of it.... is it difficult to understand? If I get a BFN this month, would you recommend I try that next time?

Also, on the subject of next time, I was thinking to have a break next month as selfish as it sounds, as that would mean a due date around Xmas. Anyone else thought the same or is it just me?

1sttime21 · 03/03/2021 18:52

Fat chance of me getting my bfp for mothers day! Only just got my peak oh well🙄

Annannanna · 03/03/2021 16:59

So I had my peak today and I usually ovulate the same day as my peak. My EWCM has dried up, will it be worth dtd tonight if ewcm has disappeared?

Annannanna · 03/03/2021 14:16

Yeah I would say you peaked yesterday morning.

I am expecting for my bbt to rise tomorrow too.

Here comes another tww, good luck! X

1sttime21 · 03/03/2021 12:38

@WillowRose1411 I really don't know if I'm honest🙈 just feel really calm this month and the closer I get to wedding dress shopping the calmer I'm getting so maybe it is just the wedding plans keeping my mind occupied

@1sttime21 hi lovely! Glad you are feeling much more relaxed 😌 what’s your secret??

@Mum2Girls19 10dpo is very early. I’ve never got a bfp before my period is due. But that doesn’t stop me testing like a mad woman from about 11/12dpo 😂 depends whether I have cheapies as don’t mind using them but will hold out for FRER usually as I’m a cheap skate!

Hiya @BlueberryMoon8 welcome! Good luck to you. I know many people who conceived first time after coming off of contraception so hopefully you are one of the lucky ones ❤️

I had my peak yesterday around 10am (first test for Tuesday) what do you think? I’m pretty sure I’m ovulating today as have lots of sharp twinges. Hoping to see that bbt rise tomorrow and be 1dpo 🤞🏼

Morning everyone I am new here and also new to TTC. It's my 1st month TTC with OPKs, stopped contraception in November and was just seeing what happened naturally without tracking anything first. I am currently 7 dpo. I have a few symptoms but not sure if they are just in my head Hmm I want to test from 10 dpo. I have never tested before AF is due so am a little nervous and unsure if I should just wait a bit longer. Anyway glad I found this chat and I'm not alone in this journey! You seem like a lovely bunch sending you all baby dust and hope we get a bfp this month for Mother's DayDaffodil

1sttime21 · 03/03/2021 09:27

@Annannanna I'm usually the same but just not feeling the excitement of it all this month
