Toot toot! The September bus is early...

Hi Ladies I'm wondering if I can join?

I'm currently 6dpo on cycle 5 of TTC #2. DTD day before O and day of O (according to clear blue ovulation tests) Currently feeling awful as woke yesterday with a horrible cold 🙄

Congratulations on all the BFPs!! Lovely to see so many in this tread ❤️

Sorry first time poster so may not get all abbreviations correct!

@Lucylulu1 I'm with you on 1st day of a new cycle today. Although AF woke me up with fury at 4am this morning I'm quite pleased she's here as I was on cycle day 52 🙈 stupid vaccine messing things up, I'm hopeful this means the start of a normal cycle after the last one was 18 days then 52! Fingers crossed for both of us!

Huge congratulations to everyone else getting their BFP's! So pleased for you all ❤️ and best of luck to those of you still in your TWW 🤞

Well ladies, I'm out this month I got a BFN yesterday (14dpo) and today AF has shown up. So I'm hoping next month will be our time.

Massive congratulations to all the wonderful ladies who have their BFP so far and baby dust to the rest of you for this month. I'm cheering you all on!!

@Amazingapples
They are a little expensive and need replacing after a year, but I thought it would be a good investment and if I hadn’t conceived in 6months-1yr then I have accurate info to show doctors etc xx

@MrsBiddy that sounds amazing - I may need to look into buying one of those

I have DD11 and month 1 of ttc#2
I think I'm 10dpo and got this result this morning...

Ah ok! I know previous cycle I was testing from 7DPO and getting worked up so I'll wait until 12 this month and see what happens. Fingers are crossed

Congratulations to all the BFP!
Currently 6dpo on 3rd cycle for #2.
Not as giddy this month and will probably wait til period is late before testing. Both previous cycles af arrived the evening of my Bfn, so don't want to waste any more tests and get my hopes up.
However I have noticed a few things which could be promising so 🤞🏻

Hey I'm going to join if ok. I've been trying for a few months but have only got negative LH's so far this month- very unusual for me 😢 bit worried but trying to stay positive!!! Hopefully it's just an 'off month' and next month will be normal!! Xx

@BingeOnChocolate I waited until 12DPO for the reasons PP said.

@BingeOnChocolate my rule is not to test before 12dpo, just because statistically a false negative is less likely. But I usually try to not test before AF was or is due, so around 14dpo?

How many DPO is everyone doing before testing? I'm on countdown mode!

@northernlola congratulations that looks like a great bfp! How many dpo are you?

My cycles are usually 27days. Do you use the digital clear blue ov test?

@Lealu how long are your cycles usually?

Was getting ahead of myself as I'm not due my period for a few days but...

Hello ladies,
So amazing to hear the BFPs, so many happy stories already on this months thread.

I’m going to try the clear blue digital ovulation test this cycle. But I’m confused that the instructions say to start testing from cd7. Well that’s only 1 or 2 days after my period, I don’t ovulate until day 14/15/16, so it seems like a waste of a lot of tests to test every day from cd7. I appreciate that it needs a non fertile reading to start with, so as to get a base level reading. But could I just start testing, say, on cd10? Am I missing something? Have never used a digital test before. Thanks for any insight you can shed on that 😊

Thanks @MissM94 fingers crossed it's enough! At least it means the waiting reduces a bit!

@EmsTTC it was just like that! Totally out of the blue. Good job I checked or I might have missed it this month! Good luck to you- keep us posted!

@Amazingapples

I use OvuSense which is an internal measuring device, supposed to be more accurate as you wear it in the night. It’s a size of a tampon, it great as I can pop it in before bed and remove it in the morning (before your morning wee) 😂 I’ve heard people dropping it in the toilet! Just nice not have to worry about waking up at the same time each morning.

Xx

@LadyoftheWoods a similar thing has happened to me today. I usually get a few days of high fertility before my peak but the last few days I've had low fertility and then this morning peak fertility 😱. Haven't dtd at all in the last 5 days so hopefully this eve won't be too late 🤞🏻. If you dtd last night and tonight sounds as if you should be covered. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🍀

@MrsBiddy it took me a while to get used to tracking my BBT. Are you taking it at exactly the same time each day? That can make a big difference. I also get an off reading if I've had a bad night sleep. It needs 3 temp rises to confirm it's ovulation. What is your chart looking like? X

@LadyoftheWoods I think you'll be covered! Even maybe from last night if today's your peak! I DTD on the Monday and Wednesday, ovulated on Tuesday and I am currently 4+4 pregnant haha fingers crossed for you 🥰

I'm so confused. I normally have 29 day cycles so I started testing with opks yesterday, cd11, there was a faint line, as expected. Tested today and this looks like it might be my peak?? But it's only cd12 and we've only had sex twice so far, once last night and then a few days before so I'm panicking now. I guess I'll wait until/if my bbt goes up to confirm but it's thrown me a bit. I don't normally have irregular cycles but maybe I'm getting old!

Do you think if we dtd tonight I'll be covered??

Woke up with a very good mood today as this is my fertility window week!!! 🥳really looking forward this week ahead 🥰 how are you ladies doing? Xx

This is interesting as I haven’t been taking my bbt that long and gives hope you can ovulate later on in your cycle 🙂
I think I need to have a few cycles first to understand them and see any patterns.
It’s so confusing that I have OvuSense and hasn’t picked up ovulation yet but other apps have said I’ve had it 😑

I never did opks or bbt so can't really comment. I came off here and just lived my life guess that helped x
