Lucky October? 🍀

Danani · 22/09/2021 20:52

It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else with me?

Oh Im sorry @Peauela 💕 As @Danani said, try to enjoy all the “forbidden” treats! Soon AF will be over and you’ll be back at it xx

Mummytobe93 · 08/10/2021 18:49

Yeah I was surprised too @Danani , I swear in my previous cycles the LH was gradually increasing over couple of days.
I must say I really doubt if I tracked my ovulation properly up until this cycle! Looking at my calendar from the last couple of months I think
I made some major mistakes😬

I came across a website which explains three different types of surges (see the pic). You can have rapid surge, an “up and down” one and one that last couple of days.

@Mummytobe93

Apparently LH pulses through the cycle so you can get faint lines throughout at any point

I’ve only recently fully understood how it works after watching coupe of videos such as this one

Hope it helps! Xx

Thank you @Mummytobe93 I'll give this a watch xx

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:41

@Peauela

I'm officially out... AF has arrived ☹️ guess I'm going to have some wine tonight after all.... best of luck to all and hope I won't meet you in November thread 🎈

Oh no, so sorry to hear that @Peauela 😞 xx

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:41

@Cruz86

If I don't get my peak until over the weekend I think there will only be about 10 days between ovulation and when AF is due. I thought this was good when it comes to conceiving?

Meant wasn't good!

Completely second @Mummytobe93 advice! I never realised how quickly you go from low to peak and wouldn’t have known if ai haven’t started using them this cycle! With CB it’s much wider /probably less accurate window. At CD15, I’d expect you to get your peak over the weekend!

OP posts:

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:35

Thank you. It's so annoying that I didn't start using them earlier on in my cycle. I was convinced that I'd already ovulated because of cm and pains etc. But I feel like these lines are getting darker which means I haven't yet! And I'm getting close to the mark in terms of having a short LP argh

Mummytobe93 · 08/10/2021 18:32

No hun, I’m using the same OPKs, that’s what my peak looked like, it should be at least as dark as the control line. As you can see I went from low to peak in couple of hrs so keep testing, I’d recommend 3 times a day - morning, at lunch time and evening xx

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:31

So the top one was from yesterday which is cd 14 and bottom from today cd15. Do you think the bottom is darker than the top one?

Danani · 08/10/2021 18:30

Yeh, do it! And no, this definitely looks way too faint. What CD were you again?

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:28

Thank you @Danani. Downloading Femometer because that's the brand of tests I have!

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:25

I know you shouldn't read them after 10 mins but I've just got last nights out of the bin. I'm so sure I haven't had my LH surge yet 😩😩

Danani · 08/10/2021 18:25

@Cruz86 I use Premom and Femometer for the first time this cycle and have been uploading my strip pics on there, the apps read them and tell you low, high, peak which now that I’m getting the hang of it, is pretty handy!

[quote Danani]@BoyMum18 is it the ovulation or all the BD’ing? 👀😁
In all seriousness, I think fatigue is a pretty common symptom. Something to do with the hormones I believe. Hope you feel better x[/quote]
Haha 😆

Cruz86 · 08/10/2021 18:19

[quote Danani]@Cruz86 show us! Do you use an app that “reads” them and tells you? It’s much easier (still a bit confusing lol) than you trying to figure them out…[/quote]
No I don't and I haven't taken pics of my ones from yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ what app do you recommend?
