Lucky October? 🍀

[quote apwilso]@BH1926 aww congrats!?

Yeah my issue he works away every week Monday to Thursday without fail. So we got pregnant after 5 tries and lost it unfortunately but that was back in April. Fingers crossed for this month [/quote]
@apwilso Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞🏻❤️

@Digby86 I know how you feel :) But at 5dpo, there is most probably nothing pregnancy related you're experiencing. Too early for implantation, but who am I to judge. Last cycle I felt pregnant BEFORE ovulation, so there's that. ;)

@Effram I think you're alright, after all it only takes one surviving sperm right?

I'm 12dpo now, and experiencing normal AF symptoms. I know it doesn't mean I'm not pregnant, but I don't feel like it if it makes sense. After all, last month I was so convinced I was pregnant so I don't even want to test until I'm overdue. I think the chances with only one tube left aren't that great to begin with, but weirder things have happened right?

@Danani I wonder if you ovulated overnight Saturday? So...3.5 dpo 😂😂

@Effram im not sure about those temp dips but you've definitely dtd enough this cycle! Good luck.

@Digby86 I hate to say it but you will probably be this obsessive every cycle! Hopefully you won't need to experience another TWW though ☺️

EUGH, so about 4dpo here (I don’t test, so guessing) and I’m pretty sure I’m losing the plot. Don’t think I’ve ever been so aware of every little thing my body does, despite the fact I know full well there will be nothing going on just yet anyway!!

I’m trying to believe this is first cycle insanity and it’ll get easier as time goes on, but I suspect I’m deluding myself…?!

Really sorry for those of you for whom this wasn’t your month. Fingers crossed next month is the one!

@Effram yeah do you no what that’s what il do! Gona withhold from testing even though I just ordered some cheapie ones online 😩 I heard we don’t share the same bloodstream untill 3-4 weeks that’s if I was to get BFP

Who’s next to test ladies?
Wishing luck to us all xxxx

@Elsols93 It's tricky, because it's possible it would show up but also possible it will be too early so you'll be none the wiser! I would just go and enjoy your wine - ignorance is bliss ;) - and then test a bit later!

Here's my chart...

What does everyone think about using a early test Saturday morning 10dpo as I’m meant to be heading out on a date night don’t want have a few wines Incase but then also don’t want to test to early to ruin my weekend if bad news 🙃

@SammiStap I'm sorry, I was feeling so confident for you! I will still keep fingers crossed and if not we will journey together next month I'm sure!

@BH1926 huge congrats!!!

@Danani Sex on the sat night and O on the sunday is actually the most perfect time so I think you don't need to worry anyway!

I think we mistimed ours... I will try and put my chart on. So much effort the week before, I was expecting O on Friday and had a temp dip but then didn't get OPK until sat and sun and then another temp drop on Mon so now it says O wasMonday. Never mind. I'm just organising a wine tasting party for my husband's birthday in Nov so I can look forward to that properly now!

Having thought this time I would just relax in TWW and def not test before I was late, I am already getting twitchy fingers at 2DPO. send help haha!

@Danani I think so as well, yes. Can you re-change the dates in your app so it calculates correctly? I sometimes put in a "wrong" ovulation date so the calculation is as how I'm imagining it to be correct.

@Tefiti3 I know it's the worst feeling in the world. I was thinking that but I'm nervous to go!

@BH1926 aww congrats!?

@lemons44 I honestly never expected to be in this position. I remember thinking, I will definitely be pregnant by Christmas but that now feels like its impossible because I know we DTD at the right time and I can feel ovulation usually so I am sure I do release an egg (I also had a scan related to something else in May and the lady said she could see I had recently ovulated). This month we have upped our vitamin intake so I guess I will give it a few more months and then book some tests. We are 32 and 34 so not young but not 'old' either. URRGHHHH its so hard and not all magical as I thought it would be.

What is your situation ?

I think that sounds right @Danani because normally on O day your temp dips right down and then starts shooting up. You're still covered by DTD the day before though, I read online that's the absolute best day to DTD to get a BFP. OPKs are great at predicting when O will happen but temperature is really the only thing that can confirm once it has happened.

Thanks for your message, AF due tomorrow or Friday so we will see but I do have a feeling I'm out this month

@FlyOnTheWall89 glad I'm not the only one who has been trying 6+ months (although wouldn't wish this on anyone!). I know people say it's totally normal and there's nothing to worry about but it's soo hard. Hopefully we get our BFPs soon 🤞🏼 xx

Sory, I though you had your positive OPK Friday evening. If you had it in the morning that’s fine too, I agree though that the temperature drop on Sunday doesn’t make that much sense, but I’d go with OPKs rather than BBT since we know how much things can affect it.
So I’d think you’re 4DPO indeed xx

Ahh okay, it could well be today/tomorrow then. If you don't manage it today, tomorrow would probably still cover you too. But don't worry too much, you're still within the timeframe if you don't manage to @Firsttimetrier!

I’d think that you ovulated more likely 36hrs rather than 12 hrs after the surge, so Sunday morning? If that’s the case and you DTD on Saturday night that’s perfect😀 That’s what I was aiming for with my DH but he wasn’t up for it 🙄

Ideally you want the swimmers waiting in the tube for the egg to be released xx

@Cruz86 I didn’t get a static, only flashy smileys on Sunday and Monday but then ran out of sticks. I thought because I had ovulation pain Monday afternoon I assumed ovulation would have been Tuesday, but we were just so tired last night it never happened.

Did you do an easy @ home test on Thursday morning too @Danani?

@Danani I really thought I would O on Monday as I had ovulation pain through the afternoon, so thought Sunday would cover it. I guess we wait to see.

I might see if I can leave my work function early for one last attempt 😂

Ah that's really frustrating @Danani. I guess it's not impossible to be on Sunday as it may be that you didn't ovulate until towards the end of that 12-36 hour window. You definitely dtd at the right times though if you did on Saturday night!
