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 🤞🏼

@Sussexgirlie5 that sound like me. I start opks on cd6, but only once a day for the clear blue monitor. Then I'll start poas twice or three times a day from cd11.
I can't face more than about 4 times 😂 so I think we're gonna do cd11,13,14,16 (in the hope that I ov on cd14/15.

Got a high today cd7 on my monitor. And usually get 4 days ish of high before peak. Let's hope it picks it up this month.

WillowRose1411 · 21/02/2021 07:24

Good luck with the fertility monitor @Cakelaur!

@sakuramiyagi welcome! So sorry for your loss, a few of us in this group have experienced losses so know how painful it can be. Fingers crossed for you! ❤️
@jodielouise26 I think you are in with a good chance then especially if you dtd on the 15th! When will you test?
@Sussexgirlie5 are you ttc your first? I usually ov cd 15-17 so I will start opks cd12 (I’m currently cd 7) I know what you mean- we are a comfortable once a fortnight kind of couple and I’m fine with that. With jobs, kids and life in general it can be exhausting going for many nights in a row 😂 I hate it when it becomes forced but hopefully will be worth it in the end 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Can I join ladies?

I'm 2 DPO after getting my first positive OPK since miscarrying in October. Really hoping that March will be our month.

Keeping everything crossed for you all ❤️

@WillowRose1411
Sorry for the late reply! I will be doing opk’s from cd9 I think as something I ov quite early.. between cd12-16. We have start dtd every other day then I think I will do everyday from cd11. Lol I’m not a sexual person so this is gonna b exhausting but I’m praying it will pay off this month x
When do you usually ov?

Cakelaur · 20/02/2021 23:37

And the poas has begun... it feels like ovulation is AGES away!!! But I have to see if I can get my peak on the Clear blue advance fertility monitor this month. Last month it just kept saying "high"

jodielouise26 · 20/02/2021 20:43

@WillowRose1411 I want to say 16th as that was the only day I have ewcm.
:)

1sttime21 · 20/02/2021 19:53

@WillowRose1411 same! I'm rubbish at being subtle but these days I cuddle him and he's like.. Is it that time already😂😂😂

WillowRose1411 · 20/02/2021 19:26

Welcome @Sussexgirlie5! What are you doing opks? Temping etc?

@jodielouise26 sorry your oh wasn’t playing ball it’s so frustrating they just don’t get it do they. Do you know when you ovulated? X

OP posts:
WillowRose1411 · 20/02/2021 19:23

@1sttime21 I’m useless at being subtle i give him plenty of notice and tell him when I want it and he just does it 😂 although we haven’t done it 5 nights in a row for about 10 years so we will see how we get on this weekend! I’m cd6 today will start the baby making next Saturday! Excited! Xx

Catching up on comments in cd5 now so my fiance is getting plenty of peace😂 @Cakelaur reminded me of my own relationship when you said he knows if you try to jump him more than once a week🤣 I just get laughed at when I try to be subtle about it cause he knows

jodielouise26 · 20/02/2021 05:05

@Cakelaur
I've not really told him that we're trying at the moment anyway, he says "well you haven't had your first period yet"
So what? Give it to me anyway! 🙄 got the D last night though! Bit late now though.
We dtd 12th & 13th and maybe 15th I can't remember (not even Valentine's Day! Boo) 😂
So I guess it could be possible. I might be lucky...

Cakelaur · 19/02/2021 21:27

@jodielouise26 oh babe. I'm sorry. It's so shit when they don't play ball! That's the worst part of all of this, know that you could have DTD a few more times. Men just don't quite get it. Or understand how hard it is.

Mine is brilliant and supportive. But when I put too much pressure on, he sometimes buckles. 🥴 I've tried being subtle but it's not my forte. And if I jump him more than once a week, he knows! Haha. So over the years I've just learnt to be honest and open about it all.

Did you manage to get any in?

Welcome @Sussexgirlie5 cd5 for me too!!

Sussexgirlie5 · 19/02/2021 17:50

Hi gurls can I join?
Seem to have similar dates with a few ladies.
I’m Cd5 so af clearing off now, fertile week starts next week!

Janey3090 · 19/02/2021 14:12

@Cakelaur oh interesting thanks, I'll have to google ovulation bleeding.

Haha could be then. 'Overworked' is definitely the right word - though we must all get it from time to time during our fertile weeks! x

jodielouise26 · 19/02/2021 14:03

@Cakelaur I didn't get on 🙄 he said you can give me a cuddle but don't start touching me cos ill get frustrated and pissed off cos I'm tired ! 😳

So that's the end of it for this week. Typical 😤

Cakelaur · 19/02/2021 13:37

Um.... now AF has arrived she appears to not be leaving!!

F*CK OFF you old witch! Day 5 and STILL going!! Because the boys I was a 3day period! Yawn!!!

@Janey3090 it could be implantation, could be ovulation bleeding (some women get it) could be an over worked vagina! 😂

@jodielouise26 how'd you get on last night?!

Janey3090 · 19/02/2021 12:52

Hey all, bit of TMI here but hope this is ok.. Blush just wondering if anyone has had similar happen to me?

My AF started 28th January and was my first full one since coming off the pill. Since then I have been using OPK's and had my LH surge Sunday (Valentines day!). But today I've noticed a bit of light bleeding mainly when I wipe. This doesn't seem like it could be my period as that would be a very short cycle, and my surge wasn't until last weekend? Also no other symptoms.

I have never bled after DTD but needless to say DP and I have been doing it a lot this week as it's my fertile week. Has anyone noticed this happen when they've been more 'active?' Blush Confused

Ailie12 · 19/02/2021 10:21

You could test one more time to see if the reading drops. If yes, CD 27 would be your peak.

WillowRose1411 · 19/02/2021 08:50

Hi to all the new arrivals! We are moving house next week so super busy!
@cakelaur my temps before ov are around 36.3 then go up to around 36.6-36.8. Some months I have a very slow rise after ov and others it shoots straight up.
I always wake up in the night for a wee bit since cutting down on caffeine I’ve noticed I haven’t been getting up as much and I use the bbt corrector if I get up earlier or later- which is inevitable with 2 kids who refuse to sleep 😆
Good luck everyone! Cd 5 for me pretty boring so far come on next weekend 🥳! X

@girlmummy25 cd8 should be fine, it will give you a few days to find out what your pre ovulation temps are. I wake in the night a few times for the loo or to see my dd but my temps always clearly show when I ovulate. I make sure I take my temp as soon as I wake in the morning, before I move at all & find that's best.

girlmummy25 · 18/02/2021 22:51

My thermometer has come! I will be joining the BBT charting but im not expecting it to be 100% accurate as I do wake up all different times and if DD is up in the night / I need a pee in the night it might mix it up a bit. Will see how I get on! First temp tomorrow morning. CD8 tomorrow - hopefully thats not too late to start

Cakelaur · 18/02/2021 22:44

@Annannanna yeah so mine isn't as big a shift. Usually 36.3 and after is 36.6 but they're a bit Rocky. We'll see how it goes. I used to temp vaginally. (Years ago with my first) I may have to switch it up.

Annannanna · 18/02/2021 22:21

@Cakelaur

BBT ladies... what are your pre ov temps verses LP temps? Do you have an obvious shift?
My pre ov temps are around 35.5 and after ovulation they go up to around 37 so there is a definite shift followed by a big drop of doom today when AF arrived!
