Good luck @Gummybear10 we can be in this together! I have never tracked with BBT but will start first thing along with OPK's which I did in Feb's cycle. I'm going to input all my data into the Pre Mom app on my phone 😊😊😊

Gummybear10 · 13/04/2022 18:43

@allthingssparkly I'm CD9 and started OPKs today, not used BBT so far although I do have one. Also use an app called Lilly Tracker just to keep all dates in one place.
Hope for a peak Monday/Tuesday going off previous months do I'll be due to test first few days in May.

Hi everyone, can I join?
I'm TTC baby number 1. I had a miscarriage in September, then another in December, and I'm now CD1 of cycle 5 after that. Ovulation should be around the 27th of April.

allthingssparkly · 13/04/2022 17:50

@LemonZestDribbles I hope your period turns up soon so you can start tracking. Good luck to you! My last cycle was 27 days and the one before that was 35. So they're regular/within normal but just vary in length for some reason!

I've also started taking B Complex Vitamins too which contain Folate 😊😊

@GeraniumCedarwood

Hi Everyone. Jumping on here from the previous month's thread, as AF has got me at around 8dpo-10dpo. I'm likely going to need emotional support as I tackle trying to get my GP to begin to investigate what's going on for me. Based on the tracking of my last few cycles, I will ovulate around the 3rd May so will be testing around the 10th - 12th May.
How long have you been trying? Do you think the issue is around a short luteal phase?
LemonZestDribbles · 13/04/2022 17:45

@GeraniumCedarwood how long have you been ttc? Is it the short luteal phase you're looking to get investigated?

@allthingssparkly I'm going to be. I'm still due af but not sure when it's due as my period was 19 days late last cycle so I think my body is a little out of sorts. Very little chance this cycle so looking forward to getting on with the next

allthingssparkly · 13/04/2022 17:05

I'm tracking this cycle with OPK's and BBT as of tomorrow (CD9) is anyone else tracking? So I'm not alone 🙈 Didn't bother last cycle but feel it will help me to know when I'm ovulating seen as my cycle lengths are varying slightly from what I've noticed.

Baby dust 🤍

Having promised myself not to be crazy time around... I've ordered ovulation tests and I'm now downloading fertility apps 😅😅

Hjudge56 · 13/04/2022 14:15

@Mummy202102 I am 2DPO too! Sending lots of baby dust!

3rdtimelucky2022 · 13/04/2022 10:09

Thanks all for your kind words!

It was obviously sad but ready to move forwards, just wish my body be more ready. Can’t even use apps yet as cycle all over the place.

I will probably just lurk on the thread until I get ovulation/period evidence as who knows how long I could be in limbo for and won’t really be able to contribute much until then!

LemonZestDribbles · 13/04/2022 09:17

@3rdtimelucky2022 so sorry for your tough journey. I hope you get your rainbow soon x

@Harriet669 I have previously. What kind do you have? I used one step cheap ones along with an app (flo I think). Once I was in the predicted fertile period I'd pee once a day with them until the line grew stronger then I'd test twice a day until the surge (usually the line would be the same strength or stronger than control) and then I presumed I'd ovulate in the next few hours/day.

Mummy202102 · 13/04/2022 01:46

Hiya. I’m hoping for a bfp in May.

Izzyboo1234 · 12/04/2022 20:42

So sorry for the difficulties 😞its so hard isn’t it!

Izzyboo1234 · 12/04/2022 20:41

Hello,

How is everyone?
May I join please? Just waiting for AF but all the signs are there that it is incoming. So hoping for April/May.
We have a 20 month and I hope and pray we are lucky enough to have a second!

Good luck everyone

Harriet669 · 12/04/2022 20:36

Does anyone use OPK's I'm trying them for the first time this month! Not 100% sure how to use them

Organictangerine · 12/04/2022 19:47

Oh you have been through the mill @3rdtimelucky2022 I’m sorry about that. Weeks feel like months when trying to conceive don’t they. Hope this thread sees your next sticky BFP.

Harriet669 · 12/04/2022 19:42

@3rdtimelucky2022 sorry to hear you've had a tough time! Hope your cycles return soon 💜

3rdtimelucky2022 · 12/04/2022 18:19

Hello!

Can I join please?

I am trying for my 3rd baby :) have a 5 and 3 year old already. This time round it’s been a rocky journey. I started trying at beginning of the year and had a chemical pregnancy on 1st cycle. I then conceived again on 2nd cycle and got to 9 weeks. I had a scan at 6 weeks, all fine and a heartbeat. Then got covid and had a scan the week after and there was no heartbeat :( I had surgery to remove the pregnancy on 24/03 and pregnancy test finally turned negative today!

So I have no idea when I will be ovulating or when my next period will be but hoping some time in May so I can start the TTC journey again :)

Nice to meet you all! If I don’t get my period back by May then I will follow all your journeys vicariously!

Harriet669 · 12/04/2022 16:47

Hi can in jump on? TTC Number 1 cycle 2, feeling nervous as I have ovarian cysts which is making cycles irregular! Came off the pill in December and been taking vitamins to prep!

Hjudge56 · 12/04/2022 15:24

Hey all! I’d like to join too please! I’m CD12 and 1DPO I believe! Only DTD once and that was yesterday (day of ovulation) whilst EWCM was present so fingers crossed!

Sending baby dust to you all!

allthingssparkly · 12/04/2022 14:54

Ahh I'm honestly crossing my fingers for this cycle 🤞 @Organictangerine

My cycle lengths have varied slightly but still within normal range, so it will be good to use the opk's and BBT so I have much more of an idea when it comes to ovulation as my cycle length between Feb and March was 35 days and between March and April it was 27!

Crossing my fingers this time round.

TTC Baby 3 🤍

Organictangerine · 12/04/2022 14:36

That’s why I use them, Sparkly! We just don’t have the time or drive for sex every other day. My modus operandi is sex the day after my period ends (usually day 6), again around day 9, then as soon as I get a positive OPK (usually day 10 or 11). Well it worked last time anyway!

allthingssparkly · 12/04/2022 14:22

Joining from the April thread.

Had no luck in my last cycle so here's to hoping for May. I'm CD7 today and have ordered easy at home opk's and their thermometer to track BBT also which I will start on Thursday morning so it gives me more of an indication as to when I am going to/have already ovulated. That way I don't have to worry about having sex every other day for the rest of my cycle as that takes the fun out of it all!

Good luck ladies ⭐

Organictangerine · 12/04/2022 12:38

CD20 here. Didn’t try this cycle but will the next - projected testing date is May 17th. So I will hop aboard if you don’t mind!
