🧙Witch day did I ovulate?!🧙

I have no experience with that either @Jodalene so I can’t offer any help I’m afraid!

Really sorry Jodalene, that’s not something I’ve come across, hopefully someone might know something or might be worth starting a thread on conception to get more help?

Another negative opk this morning. CD22, feeling fed up.

Hey ladies,

I had my second follicle tracking scan today and it appears that my dominant follicle has shrunk by half. I'm not responding to the clomid 50mg so am being increased to 100mg next month. Was absolutely devastating as I actually had some hope for a change after how positive thursdays scan was and the fact I got a positive opk yesterday. I never knew they could shrink. Does anyone know why this happens?

Awwwww so many bfps recently.. congratulations ladies.. so exciting! ❤

Thanks for the EWCM info guys 😂 I’m hopeful that I might get a positive in the next few days, but not counting on it.

@Sparklingwine1 ooo yay that’s exciting! They say to do it at the sameish time every day, and before you get up to go for a wee etc, I tend to take mine between 7 and 8, as soon as I wake up. I quite often wake up at 4/5 for a wee and it doesn’t seem to affect it.

Tell you what, this TTC thing is expensive. Just bought my next months concieve plus for next month and some more OPKs and it’s like £60!

@Aries491

Thank you, I hope this one is a sticky bean.

I drank one glass of grapefruit juice every day and also took evening primrose oil and this is the cycle I fell pregnant.

So I think there is definitely something to it. Keeping my fingers crossed xx

@whatwonder

I was using the tempdrop bracelet. It just tracks body temperature, so is not as fancy as the ava bracelet. It seemed to be accurate though, gave me three days temperature rise after my ovulation and predicted when my period was supposed to come

Thanks xx @Sparklingwine1 and @Peachycream

@Sparklingwine1 I struggle to do same time every day but as long as you've had minimum 4 hours sleep you'll be fine. Try to do it as soon as you wake up as temp goes up and gives inaccurate readings

@whatwonder that’s so interesting, I’ve never heard of the Ava bracelet before! I guess you can track ovulation using a thermometer so it makes sense if the bracelet knows your temperature!

If it helps I ovulated on CD19 and had a 30 day cycle last month. I used OPKs to track this x

Thanks for the summary @Sparklingwine1! It’s so helpful to see where everyone is at. I can’t believe how many BFP we’ve had in the space of a couple of days!

Huge huge congrats @Foodster incredible news:)

@Sparklingwine1 that does make sense to learn more about your body and how it works. that's why I religiously tracked this cycle just gone, I was going off apps but opks told me i ovulated on a totally different day so was good to know and inputting the data into apps has helped. Just gonna take it easy and introduce some things into my diet such as grapefruit juice as I keep seeing good things about it haha! Still got 2 days of AF to go I reckon....just want her gone now lol!

I've had a bit of a bash at a summary so far. Who have I forgotten?

Does anyone else use the Ava bracelet? I’ve been using mine for a couple of months now. It tracks body temp, breathing rate, pulse rate as well as how many hours you sleep each night (which is a bit daunting tbh). It uses all those to give you high fertile days and peak fertile days as well as predicting when you’ll ovulate. It’s hard to know if it’s accurate, it said I ovulated CD21 this cycle (last month my cycle was 32 days) which seems late?

My easy @ home smart thermometer came today girls!

Any tips with it? Do you temp the same time each morning? Also why does it have to be the morning 🤔

I couldn't resist but try it out this afternoon when it came and it felt weird under my tongue.. like I was going to dribble 😂😂

@Aries491 I am going to track this cycle. But mainly for my own peace of mind rather than BD-ing. I was a bit worried the cycle just gone as my highest OPK reading was 0.49. Everything pointed to a peak (EWCM etc) so I think my wee was just quite diluted that day.

But this month I really want to get a clear picture of ovulation, even if we don't BD that day... I just want to know for me!

So I don't feel stressed about getting pregnant this month (obviously we will still try) but I do feel like a woman on a mission in terms of learning how to temp, being more regular with my OPKs etc.

I find the tracking bit quite fun tbh 🙊

Huge congrats @Foodster !

@HRP1990

Thank you. I hope you also get your bfp soon! xx

@SkeletonSkins

Thank you xx Wishing you also lots of baby dust.

This month, I got EWCM four days before I got an opk positive and I also had EWCM on the day that I got the positive opk. It's possible that I also had EWCM the day after I had my positive opk, but I can't remember now.

Before, I had 2 days of EWCM, then I got a positive OPK on day 3, but had no EWCM anymore.

@SkeletonSkins I’ve just done another random OPK and got a high reading and had EWCM today.. assuming my peak is going to be earlier this month. I’ll do another this evening and update you, hopefully that helps more than Dr Google

Ah my lovely I’m so so happy for you!!! Well done for being brave and it paid off. Does it go from the date of your last period? I’m not sure but it’s certainly nothing to worry about, seems like your HCG is just nice and high.

Can I ask, did you get an opk positive a few days after you first noticed EWCM?

Congrats @Foodster strong lines!! From what I’ve read, (no expert!) you count the first day of your period as day 1 of pregnancy so that reading would be correct..?

Wow this really is a lucky thread!

@SkeletonSkins

I was brave and took a pregnancy test and look what I got 😁

But how can I be already two to three weeks if my period is only 4 days overdue?

I'm anxious, but this line is very strong, whereas the line with my miscarriage was very faint.

I drank grapefruit juice this cycle and took evening primrose oil, maybe that helped.
I had about 5 days of ewcm this cycle, whereas before I only had 2 days of ewcm.

I had a dental appointment a couple of days ago and hope I didn't hurt the baby with that. Had two fillings replaced and had injection to numb my mouth. I hope that wasn't harmful

Oooo lovely peak @OnTheRoadNow, everything crossed for you!!

My OPKs are still neg so losing hope a bit that I’m ovulating any time soon. Saying that I did get more EWCM today and I’ve read online that sometimes people get EWCM and then a positive OPK a few days later, so maybe there’s still hope.

@PurpleCat88 that’s very true @KayL1988! I’d be in two minds, wanting to plan something nice to tell him/wanting the support if anything happened ❤️

Also @PurpleCat88 completely get you wanting to hold off to tell him! I considered that too but then thought if it was... I'd want his cuddles and support.

You'll have to let us how and when you tell him 🥰

Wow busy day!

Welcome @OnTheRoadNow and @whatwonder - this is such a lovely and supportive group that I've only just discovered too.

@OnTheRoadNow I'm 38 too having made a late decision to try the family thing.

@SkeletonSkins fingers crossed for you x

@PurpleCat88 Congratulations! So exciting all these BFPs this last week. I don't thing it's a bad thing to hold off telling OH at all - I think I'd wait a few more days just in case if I was in the same boat x

Hope I didn't miss anyone!
