Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

Sounds like a very sensible plan @Emmalou0607 - I might also test on Sunday. I'll be 11dpo; I always tell myself I'll wait until 12dpo but always cave before then, so this feels like a good compromise.

Emmalou0607 · 08/12/2022 14:48

@Mortima going to try and hold out till Sunday, that way if AF is coming, it should have started by then and if not hopefully will have a semi decent line.

When are you planning to test?

Mortima · 08/12/2022 13:34

I feel you @Emmalou0607 - I'm 8DPO and AF due by 12DPO - have got my hopes up a bit this time, so I'm trying to mentally prep for disappointment. When are you testing?

Emmalou0607 · 08/12/2022 11:16

Nerves are setting in a bit today. Normally 27 or 28 day cycle and am on cd27 today so there's just this nervous anticipation of wanting to know if I'm back to day 1 or if it's our month 😫

@Emmalou0607 I hadn’t thought of that! I’ve bought a new one anyway but will do that with the new one, thanks!

@Peeonastick22 I've found with how cold it is I have to stick my thermometer in my mouth for a good minute before I switch it on and then it remains consistent. Doesn't help in hindsight so much but incase it stays cold and you need to try it over winter

So after FINALLY remembering each day to do my BBT— this morning I did it and thought- hmm that’s low that doesn’t look right, took it again, jumped up .3, took it again, down .2 😂😂

so my thermometer is a pile of shit and I may as well throw this months chart out hahahaha

@PPop I had a longer surge this time - 0.92, 1.11, 1.6, and then dropped back down to 0.33 (and then I stopped testing).The CM sounds like a good sign, hopefully that was your ovulation and you caught it; I would probs keep testing though, just to be safe 🤞

PPop · 07/12/2022 17:13

@Mortima on 29/11 I did have a pain in my left which was my ovulation pains... so maybe then but my test was low 0.29 (though that day and 28/11 were both my darkest tests)

PPop · 07/12/2022 17:10

@Mortima boobs are maybe a 2 on the tenderness scale, so not much. I would be 14 DPO on Saturday if I'm right. I did have some cm around that weekend and it's only ever evident to me on ovulation. The rest of the time I don't see it at all. If nothing by the weekend I might do a pregnancy test... what readings do you usually have after ovulation?

Mortima · 07/12/2022 16:42

Definitely possible that you missed it then - can't remember if you're charting BBT, has it gone up since then? Or any other tell-tale symptoms - e.g. I'm about 7DPO and always get sore boobs by now, so I know the progesterone must be rising.

PPop · 07/12/2022 16:33

No nothing much, I'm always a bit stressed (work) but no more then normal, not been ill and not been travelling (except York 😂 but that's a couple hours in the car I presume you mean serious travelling) did I miss it?! It was confusing because it said originally I should ovulate around 26/11 I didn't test 26/11 though as that's when we were away so did I maybe miss the spike?!
That would have been CD12?

Mortima · 07/12/2022 16:28

@@PPop Ah how frustrating! I've said before, but since I've been tracking in May/June I did have one weird cycle where I think I ovulated very late, around CD27, but by that point I'd given up testing and ended up missing the fertile window altogether...I'm assuming it was Covid that threw me off that time, but I think all sorts of stuff can affect ovulation. Have you been ill/travelling/particularly stressed?
The moral of the story is, keep testing and DTD as often as you can!

PPop · 07/12/2022 16:22

@Mortima CD23! 😂

Mortima · 07/12/2022 16:20

@PPop What cycle day are you on now lovely?

PPop · 07/12/2022 15:59

I've still had no spike... it's got a reading 28/11 was a 0.35 and that's the highest it's gone! I have no idea what my body is doing, tbh at this point it's a good thing I can't get close enough to shout "hello" up there 🤦‍♀️

@Mortima I’m awful at being consistent with that sort of thing! But due to my cycle going out of whack I have been doing it since that early period

Had a dip this morning so assuming egg released at some point today, maybe early tomorrow

it’s so so hard not to symptom spot and google like crazy isn’t it- I’m a fiend for it! Keeping
my fingers crossed for you!!

Mortima · 06/12/2022 17:13

@Peeonastick22 That is early! Do you confirm ovulation with BBT?

@Wrenegade How funny - much better than a Covid test, sounds like a lovely moment. Hope you're still doing well! I'm 6DPO and symptom-spotting...had a big BBT dip this morning which is not usual for me, and I can't help but hope it's the fabled implantation dip (but google tells me it's probably just the second oestrogen surge, and doesn't really mean anything).

@Wrenegade thanks! Praying for a sticky one for you ❤️❤️

My OPK tests have shown how easily you can miss your peak!

@MillieKitty oh gosh I just saw your previous post before mine, so pleased babe is doing well ❤️

Thank you all! 🥰

@Mortima I gave the test to DH as it was developing, because it was a cheapie he thought it was a covid test and that I was testing positive for covid as the line developed. He was very pleased and emotional when I told him it was a pregnancy test. How are you getting on?

@Peeonastick22 wishing you the best for this cycle 🤞🏻 sounds like you have some really promising OPK lines.

@Wrenegade massive congrats!! So happy for you ❤️❤️

@Mortima ahh yeah that makes sense, I guess then it would just be reabsorbed as I’ve already had my period

And you’re right! Looks like I’m going to ovulate early, opks already getting dark and having ovulation pains

@MillieKitty ahhh amazing news, bet that was so reassuring

Mortima · 04/12/2022 11:44

@Wrenegade Ahh congratulations, I was wondering how you were doing! Really pleased for you - and such a good line for 9DPO. Have you told your DP yet?

@MillieKitty Great news about the scan and heartbeat, that must have been so lovely to hear. Can't believe you're 8 weeks already!

PPop · 03/12/2022 19:25

@Wrenegade congratulations!! Lovely news!

@MillieKitty that's so exciting! More lovely positive news!

Emmalou0607 · 03/12/2022 18:46

@Wrenegade oh congratulations!!! This is amazing news for you ☺️

MillieKitty · 03/12/2022 17:53

@Wrenegade that's a lovely dark test for only 9dpo, got everything crossed for you 🥰
