Yeah I am @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow and it looks like my temp is slowly creeping down like it usually does before I ovulate (Thankfully no fever from the vaccine to mess up my chart). Just done an OPK now and got 2% . I got 11% this morning so it’s staying low. My app thinks I’ll ovulate at the weekend but that’s based off last cycle and every cycle has been a different length so I’m just replying on OPKs and temping to work it out. Little bit annoyed if I don’t peak and ovulate this month cause of the vaccine but it’s still early for us TTC

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 31/05/2021 19:01

We only managed to DTD on 23rd and 29th. According to femometer 29th was ovulation day, but I'm not convinced. I had tons of ewcm on 27th and no cm at all since really. A couple of tiny bits of ewcm texture when wiping, but nothing compared to 27th. But all opks have been completely zero so who knows.
I'm still doing opks to see if I get any results on any.

@AllyCat31 are you temping as well?

Just a wee update from my side of things. Fertile time is here. Doing a low key month so testing each morning using the CB digital sticks but that’s it. No temping at all then just DTD every other day instead of stressing about timing etc and have just gotten my app for my first consult with the fertility doc next week. Also just found out two friends are starting to try now too so not gonna lie, while I have all my fingers crossed for them I’m already dreading being told theyre expecting. Struggle with comparison so working on keeping my eyes on my own lane. Always difficult with this TTC journey.

Lovebug06 · 31/05/2021 08:41

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I wonder if I somehow missed it too. I had ewcm in the day but then the opk said it was lower than before. Strange I'll just see what happens the next few days I guess.
Managed to keep dh awake somehow so dtd incase 🤣

AllyCat31 · 30/05/2021 22:24

Yeah did another before bed @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow and 0% haha will go back to testing every day. Still feel fine in myself, a bit tired that’s all

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 30/05/2021 22:08

@Lovebug06 every single opk I've done has come up as 0% even the picture I posted a couple of days ago with a pretty clear line. I had loads of ewcm up to a couple of days ago, and it stopping coincided with the opk with visible line so I'm wondering if I did ovulate and missed it. All cm has completely dried up since so possibly 🤷‍♀️. Definitely didn't DTD at the right time if so though. Hopefully your DH is up for it tonight so you can catch ovulation!

@AllyCat31 that's so strange! Have you done another opk tonight? Hopefully it's a fluke, maybe your urine was too dilute?

AllyCat31 · 30/05/2021 20:17

Yeah it’s completely zero now but my Femometer app was giving my LH tests 27% at 7am then 60% at lunch time... normally goes up to 200% /peak about 12 hours after then and I confirm with a CB. I also track BBT but that’s probably going to be messed up now too. Hoping i still ovulate at some point this cycle @Sunshinedaisybuttermellow

Lovebug06 · 30/05/2021 20:11

Hi everyone,

How are you all?

I've had a load of EWCM yet my opk still says low?? Confused. Might do another one, I've held my wee for ages since!
DH hungover and very sleepy so I can already feel the annoyance building for later as I'm sure he will fall asleep very soon. Bloody hell.

Hope your all okay x

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 30/05/2021 18:42

@AllyCat31 oh that's odd, I don't know sorry! Glad you are feeling OK post vaccine

AllyCat31 · 30/05/2021 18:40

Hi everyone. So I had my Pfizer vaccine this afternoon and feel okay but my LH was starting to go up this morning and had doubled by lunch time which normally means my peak is later the same day or the next morning and I just tested again and it’s gone back down to zero! So weird. Anyone else had the same thing when they have had a dose? Wondering it I’ll still ovulate in the next few days or if it’ll be delayed while my body deals with the vaccine.

ChinChilly · 29/05/2021 20:10

@MissM94 slips out the vag 😂😂

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I think you're right there will always be something to worry about

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 29/05/2021 15:01

@Moocher90 I haven't been temping this cycle, I thought I'd give it a couple then start. I think I possibly did ovulate (or my body at least tried to) because I had loads of ewcm yesterday and the day before, but today there's barely any cm at all. If I did ovulate I've not covered it because dh was ill until yesterday and not feeling 100% till this morning.
Only time will tell I guess.

@ChinChilly there's always something new to worry about haha

MissM94 · 29/05/2021 10:39

@ChinChilly oh I'd be completely the same! you'll stop worrying the minute they slip out the vag 😂

ChinChilly · 29/05/2021 10:22

@MissM94 I'm hoping if all is well with the early scan I'll feel better, I'm not sure the worrying will ever go away completely lol

MissM94 · 29/05/2021 08:09

@ChinChilly ahh yeah, that makes sense! Hopefully as the weeks go on you can start to relax and enjoy it, understandable why you are nervous though!

Moocher90 · 28/05/2021 23:33

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow sometimes you can peak quickly and it’s over and done with. This cycle for me was like that but cycle before that I had test lines stronger then the control line for 3 days . And because I peaked so quickly this time round I didn’t get a chance to test on my CB. I’m 4DPO at the mo. Only way to tell is if you are doing your BBT

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 28/05/2021 22:37

I think this makes it pretty clear it was an indent. Oh well, guess I'll do another tomorrow

WhirlingD · 28/05/2021 21:30

I gave in and tested tonight. The weird shadow second line was there but no better than Tuesday night so clearly some sort of indent to mess with my head. I've also just learnt that the couple we are seeing tomorrow are expecting baby number 3 so I've just poured myself a glass of wine and am forgetting about it all for a while. I'm going to try really hard tomorrow and be happy for them.

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 28/05/2021 20:55

If I put my phone torch behind it the control line is still purple but the test line is kind of white so I'm wondering maybe indent.
I'll do another next time I need a wee to be sure

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 28/05/2021 20:53

Would you say this is positive (or close) or just an indent? Femometer says its coming up at 0% but my others had zero line at all!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow no bleeding or anything I think it is just the MMC thing. Nausea is definitely worse if I haven't eaten but then it gets to the point i have to force myself to eat because i really don't fancy anything. I've just popped to tesco and brought some of those for the freezer, they don't have take me back to my childhood.

@MissM94 yeah the heaving is not fun but hopefully it doesn't last too long. Only told one of my friends as she knew we were TTC, I think we will tell parents once we've had that early scan then everyone else after the 12 week one.

MissM94 · 28/05/2021 20:05

@ChinChilly ahhh I'm so excited for you 😍 but not excited that you're heaving at everything haha.. hopefully you get to see little bean very soon then! Have you told anyone?

Sunshinedaisybuttermellow · 28/05/2021 20:00

@ChinChilly yeah I understand what you mean. Have you had any bleeding or anything? Or just worried about a possible mmc? Hopefully everything is fine 🤞🤞🤞. A friend of mine ate a lot of the ice pop tube things you buy in multipacks and shove in the freezer. When I had dc1 I found the nausea was worse when I was hungry so I grazed constantly.

@kat668 oh I'm sorry 😔. I hope it isn't AF and it stops soon. If you are only cd27 it might be nothing, especially if you usually have long cycles. Keeping my fingers crossed for you Flowers

Kat668 · 28/05/2021 18:33

Hope you're all well and looking forward to then bank holiday weekend!

I think AF is arriving 😔 got home from work and had spotting when I wiped. I'm CD27. Really frustrating as we DTD every other day from the day after I finished my period to the weekend just gone, and every day during what I think was my ovulation week (not tracking yet so just going by cm).
I was trying not to, but my hopes were going up as my emotions have been all over the place the last week and I've been getting waves of nausea for a few days, but maybe this is just how my periods will be. This is my second AF off the pill. First one was 49 days after coming off so surprised its come this early. Before the pill I had long and unpredictable periods

ChinChilly · 28/05/2021 18:03

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I think I'm too nervous to book it incase it's not the news i want. I haven't found anything yet, my friend suggests ice lollies but she warned me to get the cheap ones as she went through about 10 a day Shock
