Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

Forgot to tag you in the above @Kitty901 ^

Well my cycle length between Feb and March was 35 days and between March and April it was 27 days. So I have decided to track with both OPK and BBT so I can understand abit better when it is I'm actually ovulating. Yesterday afternoon I had some stretchy/sticky mucus on two occasions after going to the toilet (apologies for tmi) I'm hoping it's maybe the start of ovulation happening in the next day or so. Fingers crossed I get my peak soon! As the wait is killing me 😬 I do agree though I think it happens when you least expect 🤍

lottieb92 · 17/04/2022 21:33

Thanks @RSmamaa I still have tested due to heartbreak of last 6 months trying and not being successful… I’m now cycle day 30!? Two days longer than last month, but I didn’t ovulate until CD 18 .. so I’m still not holding my breath.

If period doesn’t come tomorrow - I’ll be testing as soon as I can get my hands on a first response ⭐️

@allthingssparkly

Ah thank you *@Kitty901* I'm still getting to grips with OPK and BBT testing as its my first cycle testing with both. I understand it better now but just feel like I'm on pins waiting for my peak. The past two days I've been OPK testing twice a day but morning and afternoon, maybe I should be doing it morning and evening instead 🤔 Me and my partner have been DTD in hope that sperm is waiting for the release of an egg 🤞
Yes just keep on testing and you will get to know it. You peak would be about the same cd every month or at least mine is. I remember when we were ttc our first i had a month with no peak and that was frustrating, i didnt ovulate that month. Unfortunately ttc is like playing the lottery i think, no matter how much sex you have, it happens when it decides to...we are kn cycle 5 now ttc second and i am losing my patience alreadyGrin

@allthingssparkly

Not sure whether I should be testing more frequently *@Kitty901*. What time do you OPK test in an evening? I don't want to miss my peak 😩
So i used to test once a day in the afternoon around 3-4 pm with easy @home and with fmu with CB digital but once cycle my cb went from an empty circle to a static smile which made me thing i am peaking fast so started testing morning, afternoon and evening. For instance i am in ny fertile week, i had low at lunchtime and tested again half an hour ago and it is almost a peak. So the evening one i normallu do between 9-10pm and that is when i get my peak. So tomorrow morning my CB would probably be a static.

Kitty901 · 17/04/2022 20:14

Hi, i am like that too, i normally have low in the morning, lunch even afternoon and then peak in the evening, once i realised this is what is happening i now test 3 times a day.

RMS0209 · 17/04/2022 18:26

@RSmamaa
Well that's the thing, I am so stressed about it too which probably isn't helping!
Ah! I got my first vaccine when I was still on my pill so luckily never noticed anything but even having covid but being totally fine did mess it up.
4 cycles is brilliant - you must be delighted! Hopefully I can be messaging you one day soon to say I am the same!  I don't think I've missed it, we have been doing SMEP so "trying" every 2 days anyway... we took last night off but will go again tonight too.
I also have bought the "Ovusense" and it hasn't confirmed ovulation so I'm 90% sure I haven't missed it.
Thanks so much for sending the pre mom chart through... calmed me down a bit seeing you go from 0.40 to peak in a day! X

@Decaffe how did you get on with the cup? I have also bought one but it's still sitting in the wrapper I am scared to use it for some reason ha ha x

allthingssparkly · 17/04/2022 17:38

Hi Ladies!

When did everyone get their positive OPK?

I'm CD12 today and I've been OPK and BBT testing since CD9 but no sign of a positive test yet, I know there's probably time yet but I don't want to miss it 😬 trying to dtd every other day to cover bases too! 🤞

These are my tests and I caught it on the same day. If I waited until the next day I would have missed it

@Decaffe

Well last night I ordered a Fertilily from Boots, will collect tomorrow!

If that and the “HSG bounce” doesn’t get me pregnant this month, then I don’t know what will!

Just tried the ferti-lily for the first time!
RSmamaa · 17/04/2022 17:31

Thanks @RMS0209 it really stressed me out as my previous pregnancies I conceived on cycle 1 barely trying! After DS was born my cycles were quite regular but after my covid vaccines in sept they went up in the air and my cycle was 44 days long?! Started TTC at christmas so took 4 cycles which is actually very good from what I've read on here. It's disheartening when you think this is the month and AF arrives 😞. Could you have missed the peak?

RMS0209 · 17/04/2022 17:18

Hi @Mania42b & @RSmamaa thank you both so much for replying! I think I was just getting a bit panicky that I tend to normally be CD14/CD16 although after catching covid in Jan I was CD18 so I am just worrying... doesn't help this is the month we were trying SMEP, I will keep testing and hopefully I am like you both and peak soon.
I done an OPK about half an hour ago and it was 0.23, frustrating as on Friday I got 0.56... but will keep holding out!

Also congratulations RSmamaa

I didn't know trying to conceive could be so complicated and difficult! X

RSmamaa · 17/04/2022 17:12

@RMS0209 in Jan I didn't get my peak until CD25. This cycle I got it on day 20. Currently on CD40 which makes me 4+5. No sickness yet thankgod

Mania42b · 17/04/2022 17:06

Hi RMS my cycles are normally 28 days to 29days but some how or maybe due to being soo accurate for tracking n stressing over it my positive opk came ok day 21 which meant i ovulated day 22 so i didnt even try last month ..keep tracking until day 21 or 22 hopefully u will catch it

RMS0209 · 17/04/2022 16:49

Hi ladies! Sorry to but In...still waiting for a peak, my cycles tend to be 28/33 days.. CD19 today
I'm just wondering what is the latest you have peaked? Thanks x

Purple29 · 17/04/2022 13:35

@Mania42b I am due AF on Sunday, so I will wait till Monday to test. I hate testing early, just hate the disappointment and it gets so expensive!!

Mania42b · 17/04/2022 12:49

Hello purple29 im in the same boat as u CD20 today for me too and i also ovulated day CD 13 had my darkest positive opk day 12 fingers cross good luck to u when will u be testing..i only have 2 pregnancy tests left not sure when to test

Purple29 · 17/04/2022 10:03

@Willow1982 yeah im CD20 as well. Had a really busy weekend so I'm not symptom spotting. The only thing different is I feel so hot I could burst into flames. I'm due AF a week today, think I ov'd on CD13.

Willow1982 · 17/04/2022 08:42

Morning all, just about starting the TWW, thinking I’m about 2dpo ish, gave it our best shot this cycle, hoping we did enough,
@Purple29 are you about the same cycle day? CD 20 today, 10 days till AF due!
Good luck to all those testing xx🍀

MissBlue93 · 17/04/2022 07:59

I think I'm about 8DPO now, but haven't really had many implantation symptoms I don't think. Other than some mild cramping etc but I usually get that too, sore boobs etc. No CM at all, will take a test tomorrow at 9DPO but just have a feeling this isn't my month!

ViL89 · 16/04/2022 21:35

Here too

Bleeding today but not full flow 7dpo but I'm totally irregular and random so likely I'll just have af a week early
