Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

I don't know what's worse, the wait to ovulate or the tww. Hope you get your peak soon @GemLou88

GemLou88 · 26/01/2023 13:35

Sorry @Stilltobeseen i don’t temp yet so have no idea. Fingers crossed it means something positive

I’m still getting flashing smiley faces. But here’s a pic on my OPK this afternoon. Really hope it turns to peak soon. I’m losing patience!

So I've been temping, confirmed O etc so not concerned about that. But does anyone else have super stable temps after o like this? I've never in my life had temps like this (any time I've been temping obviously). Don't know whether to be worried or not that it's not rising higher?

Chemicals are such an emotional rollercoaster. I hope you’re doing ok. Got everything crossed for you @monsteramunch! sounds like you have timed dtd right. I don’t bbt, but will be starting next cycle. I’ve still not had a peak and my OPK’s seem to be getting lighter today, so I don’t think I’m going to ovulate this month. This is cycle 3 of ttc number 2 so I’ve not seen this happen. Ands it’s already frustrating that the last 2 cycles O has happened at cd23ish. Feel like I’m waiting forever for it then have the tww.

monsteramunch · 24/01/2023 16:08

I'm doing OK, a chemical last cycle which I've found really difficult as we've been TTC#1 for a year now.

This month I've been tracking BBT on Premom - pics attached. First time I've been temping, before then I've just used OPKs timing wise.

On the OPK front I've been doing digitals as well as strips and below is where we are at currently. Today is CD15.

Hoping we can DTD today and ovulation happens tomorrow as then we've timed stuff well hopefully...

Thur CD 10 negative strip + digital

Fri CD 11 negative strip + digital + DTD

Sat CD 12 negative strip + flashing smiley digital.

Sun CD 13 negative strip + flashing smiley digital + DTD

Mon CD 14 negative strip + static smiley digital (am) then positive strip (pm) + DTD

Tue CD 15 positive strip (am) + (hopefully) DTD

Thanks @monsteramunch. Yes, definitely! How you getting on?

monsteramunch · 24/01/2023 10:53

@GemLou88

Everything crossed for you.

I hate those flashing little bastards when they go on for days!

GemLou88 · 24/01/2023 10:13

Fingers crossed for you @Stilltobeseen don’t blame you for taking a break. Sometimes we all need it.
I’m in CD21 and still waiting for O. I ovulated on CD23 last month so hopefully any day now. I’m tracking with IC OPKs and clear blue to confirm. But my OPK’s have been high without a peak for 6 days now, and 6 days of flashing smiley faces. If we catch this cycle then due date would be around DS birthday.

Stilltobeseen · 24/01/2023 05:53

6dpo today. Had to take a wee break from these boards for my sanity. First month getting a clear positive opk since we started trying again and earlier than normal. Confirmed o with temping. I had the strangest urge to DTD on CD 11 next day I had a load of egg white CM and a positive opk so DTD that day and the day after too. So Confident we caught the right time butvthe rest is outwith my control now. Trying to keep a level head this month and just hoping and praying g it works. I'm absolutely desperate for an October baby (my fav time of year) would be nice as my DD is a summer baby. Hope everyone is well and baby dust to you all

GemLou88 · 23/01/2023 20:03

Hey Ladies. How’s everyone getting on?

GemLou88 · 10/01/2023 13:13

Hey @peaky297 hope you’re doing ok! I’m on CD7, app is predicting O on CD20. But I think my cycles are still irregular from coming off the pill. So back to the OPK’s. Never BBT before, but just ordered myself the new Apple Watch that does it. Going to read up on it and if this month we don’t conceive I’ll start from next month.

This was shared on another group and I thought it was interesting and might help someone else out
www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/
it has a dpo statistic for getting a positive test if pregnant. I thought the age and fertility calculator interesting too

How you all doing ladies?
I am now coming towards the end of AF and gearing up for another cycle!
In some ways this time is lovely as I'm not stressing about anything and can just be for a week or so!

monsteramunch · 07/01/2023 23:17

Oh god I'm sorry @peaky297 I was sure things were looking like a yes for you, I've got everything crossed that the next cycle will bring you better news Flowers

GemLou88 · 07/01/2023 23:00

Oh no @peaky297 so sorry to hear that. It all sounded so positive for you. It’s gutting and a mind fuck. Hope you’re ok.
I’m on CD4 and looks like AF is coming to an end. So I’ll be back to OPKs from tomorrow.
@Trojancheese how are you getting on?

peaky297 · 07/01/2023 22:34

The spotting has turned heavier and I've been pretty crampy today, so I am out!
Oh well... at least it means a new cycle and another chance to try again 🤞✨️
How are you all doing?

Thanks @GemLou88 .. oh well. Each time AF arrives it marks the start of a new cycle and a new chance to try 💕 I'm trying to focus on that!

GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 15:21

@peaky297 oh no! I really thought this was it for you too. Sending Love ❤️

Update from me ... despite the line this morning, my light brown spotting is now getting heavier and redder, so I think I'm out. Really thought this might have been the month, but it is not to be.

GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 09:17

😂😂 unfortunately not. Yes keep us posted 🥰

@GemLou88 omg I saw the pics before I read the message properly then and thought you'd had a crazy mid period suprise! 🙈🤣

Thanks for sending that, reassures me a bit. I regularly spot a bit before AF comes on fully, so I suppose we have a painfully slow wait now to see what my body does! 😫
Will keep you posted!

GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 09:03

They do say that implantation bleeding happens around the time your period is due. So hopefully it’s just that. I’ll attach a photo of a faint positive I got on a FRER with my son, I don’t think your line is too far over. Got everything crossed for you

@GemLou88 thanks for confirming I'm not going mental! Haha I do feel like it's a bit far over to the left mind? I'm still lightly spotting brown when I wipe too. What a mind f#ck🙈🤣

OP posts:
GemLou88 · 06/01/2023 08:32

@peaky297 i can definitely see something there. And I think it’s in the right place 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning girls! OK, so now I'm confused. Period a day late and felt a bit crampy in bed last night. Got up this morning, used a FRER and saw some brown when I wiped afterwards. Assumed game over and that AF is on her way, however I'm sure I see a faint line here? More than the shadow I was imagining before, but not sure it's in the right place? Do you see it? (I've added an original and slightly edited image) Could it be an evap? I am scared to hope and very confused!! 😫🙈
