I'm testing tomorrow, 12 or 13 DPO I think. AF is due tomorrow (short cycle) and I want a chance to test before she appears. It's all I can think about this eve, driving DH a bit nuts!

How is everyone? I believe I ovulated yesterday. So now in the what feels like forever TWW. I am going to try and hold out to see if AF arrives before testing, then test on the 18th/19th (32 day cycle) 🤞🏼

I am beginning my TWW tomorrow. Would love this to be my cycle! Have baby danced every other day since end of period and now on cycle day 17 with ovulation today so hoping we’ve done enough!

Hey all, how are we all doing? I finally got my static smily on the 23rd. We've been trying the SMEP for the first time and wow it's tricky! We missed one of the days before the static smily (but still a flashing smily day) and we missed the last day of the 3 day block. Hope we will catch this month xx

I think its from full flow! Xxx

Omg I calculated from the day of spotting and it was 9 days for me! When normally it's about 4- days.. I could have calculated my whole cycle wrong!!! So I may not be on CD21, I may be CD15!! And still be in for a shot for the LH levels to rise and O to happen?? Xxxx

@LittleMiss2023 I'm the same as you 😊 cycle 2 TTC#1 and AF due 11/12th March...let's hope for a quick 2 weeks!
I don't feel like this is our cycle tbh, DP wasn't well so we only DTD CD13 and CD16 (ovulated CD17) so I know we're not out but really really trying not to get my hopes up and no early testing for me!

Cycle buddies!

Yeah now we wait! Hopefully can keep ourselves busy while we wait. I say I’ll try and wait to test, but it’ll get to around 9DPO and I’ll have an urge 😂 But I’ve got a family holiday that weekend - so not sure how I’d go keeping it quiet for a whole weekend around them!

Infinitebows · 27/02/2023 08:25

Hi @Kate33ttc

I've not heard of that before with delaying ovulation but just in case you can DTD literally just before he leaves I would as I had a long conversation (about infertility, ttc ...) with my doctor and midwife last week and they both told me that sperm lives up to 7 days, I always thought it was 3 - 4 but either way you would possibly be covered. Good luck xx

Chip131 · 27/02/2023 07:33

Getting there... I think!! Going dtd the next few days i think in hope that it will peak soon! Xxx

Wahoo! Looks like it's rising nicely for you! 🙏

I did a test this morning and it was 0.08. I think I'm out - CD16 today and no sign of a rise. If I ovulated, it would've been an early one 😫

Can I ask a potentially very stupid question? When do you guys count CD1 from? The day you start spotting/muddy (sorry about that) or the day you start full flow?

If it's the first option I think I've calculated my dates wrong 😅

Hi. I had an early loss last cycle. Due to my partners work, he will be away when I'm ovulating next, and possibly for many more ovulation dates. Im due to ovulate a few days after he leaves..so I'm wondering if It would be a good idea to take the morning after pill before I ovulate, as it delays ovulation for at about five days ...then we will be able to try this cycle. I've looked it up and can't find anyone talking about doing it for that purpose, but it's safe and doesn't affect fertility . Delaying ovulation is how it works. Feeling desperate and just really want to use every opportunity I have to ttc as soon as possible 🙏

Edit: I meant that i'll ovulate a few days BEFORE he's home
