Baby Bandwagon March TTC

Today is 9 DPO for me and I got a light but definite BFPs on a cheap HCG test and a FRER.

I'm completely shocked that I got a BFP just now, but definitely not counting my chickens. Should I test again daily for line progression or wait until the day AF is due?

Thanks for the welcome Ladies!

Got my peak quite late Friday night had DTD on Saturday, Tuesday, Thursday and then Friday night when got peak. Went back to high fertility yesterday (63% and then 34%) was hoping to DTD yesterday but ended up not feeling well so wasn’t up to it. Temp rose this morning so presume I ovulated yesterday bit raging we missed yesterday but nothing we can do about it now, we DTD this morning in case I ovulated late yesterday. Hoping we have done enough!

Now the dreaded TWW time to wish away time again 😂

@Annannanna yup. Here my chart. No ov yet. I think it's my body just playing silly buggars. I had a darker line last night too, but clear blue monitor is still saying hi. DTD last night anyway. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't my peak. But I'm starting to feel a little bloated, so hoping it's not far off. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 my latest ovulation was cd19 and that was once after my mmc and once the month I got my first period after having two babies (4 months ago) other than than I ov between cd 14-16. Currently cd14.

@KazMumTo2 do you wake up the same time every day? Or kids getting you up? My chart is quite rocky. You can litterally see the morning I had less sleep. It's normal to have fluctuations depending of loads of variables, how warm the house is, if you were under the duvet or had a foot out, thicker pjs, deeper sleep etc. So even a consecutive drop can rise again. I've attached my chart this month, and then the two month I fell pregnant previously. The November one ended in mmc a few months later, the March one was a successful pregnancy.

So for those of you like me who’ve only just started BBT this month I found these charts in my app that shows what a normal ovulation looks like (leading to a period) a pregnant cycle looks like (with the bbt dipping up and down but staying relatively high) and a suspected miscarriage (where the bbt comes back down to ovulation temp)!

So I’m guessing at the moment mine is ok dipping up and down; just don’t want to see a consecutive decrease! Would U all agree???

This wonderful world of temping is all new to me! It’s just thrown me a bit as my temp shows ovulation before my test strips did and the app says to go with temp rather than strips!!!

We will see...

Just found the chart with my temps! So far staying above cover line but it’s vey up and down...anyone good at interpreting these things? X

@girlmummy25 definitely keep those bottles separate from now on 🤣

@Mum2Girls19 your chart looks good, could that be an implant dip? 🤞🏼

@Cakelaur have you been temping so you can see if it was definitely your peak?

Didn’t get to do my final DTD as hubby was too tired- someone can’t handle this baby making!!! Just hoping ovulation happened when planned and not too long after x

Well done @WillowRose1411
Glad the move went well. And hopefully you manage all those nights! 💪💪💪

@KazMumTo2 we're gonna DTD tonight and tomorrow anyway, but I'm not sure it's peak. I tested with every wee today, and usually I have 2 days of peak, hoping it's just a test run and peak will happen tonight or tomorrow. We'll see.
Amazing work this month! You're in for a great shot! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hopefully I'm in the right place and you don't mind me joining!

Currently TTC for number 2, currently got DS 2.5 and had an early miscarriage before that.

I got my implant out last week and don't have periods so no idea when my period is due or when I ovulate or anything!

@WillowRose1411 haha golden balls haha!!!

Glad the move has gone well...as I said ‘new house new baby’ especially with your peak tonight!

Just about to go do some Yoga before my final night of DTD x

@Cakelaur I reckon your peak was number 3! Don’t forget that you’ve got 24-36 hrs after a lh surge for the egg to be released and then then egg can last another 24-48 hrs so get baby making!!!

I’ve been having a sore lower stomach this afternoon; like very mild cramps (more so on the left) and bloating just feeling uncomfortable so Im wondering if I’m ovulating now! I got my lh surge Thursday night and another peak on Friday morning so I guess it could be 36 hrs from 8am Friday! Going to dtd tonight just to be sure!

Hi all

Anyone else?

The test. Top is most recent. Do you think I've missed it? Obvs gonna DTD tonight and tomorrow incase. But confused. Usually I get about 2 days of peaks.

Weird! I'm back to really faint lines again! Tested every couple of hours today... 🤷‍♀️

@Noodella18 welcome! Think lockdown has got us all overweight and over sensitive! 🤞🏻 You conceive as quickly as last time x

Hi everyone, hope it's okay join in! Got my period today and going to start ttc number 2 this month. I already have a 21 month old daughter who we were lucky enough to conceive in cycle 2 last time, so hoping it will be equally quick this time! I'm 36 so a bit worried it might be harder though, plus I'm definitely not as fit and healthy as I was back then! All that lockdown food and booze :-/

I'm going to be pulling my coil out later, wish me luck!

@Cakelaur if in doubt get the clear blue packs (I ordered 20) which are digital and it gives u a blank circle for low flashing smiley for high or solid smiley for peak! I think I paid £20 for a batch of 20!

@Cakelaur maybe best to read at 30 mins then! Have u got the Femometer app? It uses intelligent recognition to give u a high/low/peak with a percentage result too! I’d def recommend! U can get the Femometer test strips too (Amazon) fairly cheaply for a whole batch!

@KazMumTo2 so usually these one step cheapies, I'd check within 10 mins. But this batch seems to be almost blank for ages.

It says read before 10mins and discard after 30. But I took one and it was totally blank, then suddenly about an hour later it's almost peak.

@Cakelaur my kits say to check between 3-5 mins...what do your instructions say to do? X

Confused. Opks are taking ages to darken. Do you discard them at 30mins? Or longer? This last one I checked at 10mins and it was pale. Went back after an hour or so and it was dark. Did another one an hour or so ago and it was faint after 10mins. I'll check it again once I get home.
