Lucky October? 🍀

Looks like we’re pretty in sync indeed 😂🙂

@Danani regarding taking your temperature, I’m just starting myself but from what I’ve researched, it’s apparently more important taking it after you’ve had at least 3 hrs of sleep than taking it at the same time each day. So if you wake up for a wee at 5 am and you know you won’t get much sleep after that, take your temperature before getting out of bed. If it’s the weekend and you sleep solidly till 9 am, take it then.

I suppose after a while you get to know your pattern and you know more or less what’s the norm. My issue definitely is insomnia and pretty much every night my sleep is distributed. But between around midnight and 3-4 am I tend to always get a block of sleep.

I’ve told my DH that he needs to be on it with his vitamins and he was like “why?”😨 Erm., let me think, maybe because I want to give it our best shot this month?! 😂 He’s so oblivious to this whole TTC because he’s already got a DS with his ex, and that was accidental apparently. He’s, therefore, got 100% trust in his “swimmers” and he’s confident we can conceive accidentally too. He doesn’t consider the fact that he’s older now, and let’s be honest we don’t DTD that often to cover my entire fertile window.

But I feel like I can’t give him the full lecture on all Ive been doing to get pregnant cause it’ll put him off completely haha He loves being spontaneous and HATES being put under pressure so I need to keep him in the dark, and just send the “I want to DTD” signals at the right time 😂

I’ll try my hardest not to test so early this cycle, I’ve wasted so many tests and ££ 🙄Knowing that my luteal phase can be 13 days long (thought it was only 11), I’ll only test at 13 DPO and later this time 🤞

Hey all,
Will be joining you all I'm currently cd6 ttc#2 cycle 7 hopefully ovulate next week
Best of luck everyone 🌟

Hi ladies

AF came at 3 am with horrible cramps that kept me up🥴 Right before I got out of bed to go to the toilet, I took my temperature and sure enough it dropped to 36.2 from nearly 37 yesterday morning. BBT is truly a fascinating thing!

So I’m officially joining the October thread, with my O predicted for the 9th. ☘️

Hi all, officially CD1 for me again. Fingers crossed this is our month!!

I will be ovulating in the next few days but testing in October.. Is this a thread for me? I could use some more places to chat!

me too @CatLady93 and @Danani .. so glad when it falls on a weekend

@Danani I'm probably ovulating around 8th October too!! 🥰

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining. We are ttc #1 but unfortunately just miscarried at 6weeks. Had a bfn now so trying again this month. I'm on CD4 and finished bleeding so fingers crossed this is our month. I don't track anything, we just dtd every other day throughout the month and hope that I hit ovulation 🤣 I can't bear the idea of it being too prescriptive. Good luck everybody, look forward to seeing some bfps 😊

@Danani I am CD2 today and ovulate on CD16/17 usually so we are pretty much in time :-).

Hey ladies!
Cd12 today, started opk this week as really no idea when I’m due to O…with my last two cycles being so long and random I’m cautious I don’t want to miss out dates!

Feeling excited for this month too @CatLady93 🍀 positive attitude hopefully will lead to great news! If we conceive this month I think there’ll just be 3 years between our little one and our new bean 🥰

Afternoon!

AF is still here for CD4 but it does seem to be slowing down so I’m thinking tomorrow will be the end of it.

I’m wondering how many days this cycle will be too. I’m hoping less than the last one so that I can see it all settling!

I’m managing to get my temperature taken most days but my sleep isn’t that good so we’ll see how it all goes!

Hi guyssss 🥰 CD7 for me, usually ovulate around CD17-21 so I'll start OPK testing in about a week I think and looking out for EWCM before then too 🙏🏼 I feel good about this one for some reason.. if we conceive then I'd be due around the same time as my own birthday which I love.. cancer (star sign) ♋️ all the way! 🤟🏼🤣

Are you guys planning to try anything different this month? X

Joining this thread :-). x

Hey! Nothing changed but from today I am trying to be positive. Let’s see where my positivity will lead. Simply, getting tired to be dissappointed and sad.
Good luck to us!

The same! Cycle 12 or maybe 13, can’t remember anymore.. probably I should even jump to futuristic November bus as going away for October 🤷‍♀️

Looks like it's CD1 again for me. Onto cycle 12 - feels like a big milestone...can October please be the lucky month!!

May I join? Cycle day 2 here, of my first post partum period (my second son is nearly 11 months, my eldest is 3!)

Have decided to let nature take its course and see if a third comes our way. We were incredibly lucky and conceived 1st and 2nd month previously, but I was very focussed on the OPKs and temping, I hope to take a more relaxed approach this time (mainly because with 2 smalls and a job I don't have time to get obsessed again!).
