New thread for those of us now trying for the first babies of 2024, may we all be lucky this month!

I'm CD1 today of cycle 6 ttc my second.
Had a chemical at the end of February and lots of illness in March so revved up to give this month all I've got!

@emmatcc1 thank you for confirming πŸ™ŒπŸ»

emmatcc1 · 23/04/2023 22:27

The period between ovulation and af stays the same so if you ovulated 5 days later your period will also be due 5 days later.

Bluebell0921 · 23/04/2023 18:28

@Babyhopeful23 our cycles sound very similar! Hopefully someone can shed some light for us. I don’t want to get excited because my period is late when it’s just because I ovulated late. I’ve had mixed messages when I’ve googled.

Babyhopeful23 · 23/04/2023 18:01

@Bluebell0921 im in the exact same situation. I’ve ovulated on CD21 I’ve a 30 day average cycle and AF due on the 30th. It wouldn’t make sense to test on the 29th. I would only be 8 DPO. I’m confused about this one. Hoping this is my month. I had loads of EWCM (didn’t last month) and we have been BD every second night. Can anyone shed any light on this?

is there anyone with a cycle length around 30 days or anyone that typically ovulated in and around CD 20. How long after did you get your BFP?

I thought I ov’d on the 16th but EWCM and ovary pain occurred on 21st and yesterday. I have run out of OPKs so I couldn’t confirm! But I’m so happy that I had all those symptoms. I haven’t had them for the past two cycles!!!

Bluebell0921 · 23/04/2023 09:32

@Savvy21 sorry lovely. Hope you are feeling OK. You tell that pesky fit bit!

Savvy21 · 23/04/2023 09:27

@Bluebell0921 sorry I've only just started with opks. After my miscarriage, I think I was ovulating earlier so my period came earlier. It would make sense if you ovulated later that your period would turn up later.

I tested this morning. I think I am 11dpo and it was a starkly white BFN so I'm probably out and will be having strong words with my fitbit for raising my hopes with high rhr readings πŸ˜‚.

Bluebell0921 · 22/04/2023 11:38

can anyone help and share their knowledge. It may seem like a stupid question. I’m pretty sure I ovulated around 5 days later than usual so CD21 instead of CD16. My cycle is usually around 30 days. My app is still calculating AF due at 30 days and is suggesting I test if AF is 1 day late but would it not be more likely that AF will now come 5 days later? I’m usually like clockwork so a bit in the dark about what to expect in this scenario.

CoteDOpale · 22/04/2023 10:49

Well, AF decided she wanted me to look silly after I last posted.
She β€˜came’ 3 days early, but went away as quickly as she started, same on the following days and is now finally here β€˜properly’ a day late.

I’ve been cramping for about 10 days and I’ve never spotted like this before AF, so you can imagine the confusion! But finally, CD1, fresh cycle. Onwards!

emmatcc1 · 22/04/2023 10:42

@TTCno1x based on my cervix position I defintely ovulated yesterday as my cervix is closed today. What position are you in? How many dpo

TTCno1x · 22/04/2023 08:08

@emmatcc1 I'm in a similar position! -2 is one of the best days though! Fingers crossed for you

emmatcc1 · 22/04/2023 07:26

I messed up and probably missed ovulation yesterday. I ovulated early last cycle and was 100% sure I wouldn't ovulate on cd11 again but probably did. My temps have been the same the past week and now gone up and we only dtd on -2

Savvy21 · 21/04/2023 18:34

@Mushroo that looks like a great line :-). Keep us updated on progression.

Mushroo · 21/04/2023 17:38

@Bluebell0921 and @Babydustthisyear thank you πŸ₯°

That’s reassuring as well, think I’ll do a clear blue digital on Sunday to be sure!

Babydustthisyear · 21/04/2023 17:28

Hey Ladies been a while since I commented @Mushroo congratulations I just got my BFP yesterday and started out like yours on a hcg and two days later I got it on digital test, congratulations πŸ₯³

Bluebell0921 · 21/04/2023 17:21

@Mushroo that looks pretty certain to me! Eeeeek!! 😍😍

TTCno1x · 21/04/2023 10:11

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm on CD19, ovulated 2 days ago I think, but today temp has dropped...? However, I did drink some cold water before taking temp as was so thirsty and totally forgot! Does anyone know if that might have impacted temp? I had a very strong LH test this month, so hoping I have ovulated. Hopefully temp will be up tomorrow! I also has my AMH and AFC results yesterday, my AMH is on the low side (9.4p/mol, for anyone in the know) and 15 AFC, so that was fine (I'm 34). Is anyone else trying to lose weight too?! My BMI is 32 so i'm trying my best, but it's so hard! Trying to eat as clean as possible.

Bellabeemarie · 21/04/2023 09:57

@Mushroo congratulations πŸ₯°β€

Mushroo · 21/04/2023 07:37

@TunnocksTCake thank you! Doesn’t feel real. Zero symptoms other than being thirsty ALL THE TIME.

Your OPKs look great! Hope this is your month!

TunnocksTCake · 21/04/2023 07:32

@Mushroo eeeeek congrats! That's a good line! Hope it progresses nicely for you!

My peak came overnight/ this morning which is great, we dtd last night and night before and will do tonight then have to skip tomorrow but hopefully it's been enough πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ™

Tentative positive this morning at 12dpo on a cheapie. (I did one last night as well which was even fainter!).

I can’t quite believe it, not getting excited until I miss AF which is due tomorrow. Eeek

Well my peak has not appeared yet, which is frustrating! Looked like it was going up this morning then disappeared! That means a 5am wake up on Saturday before the hen do πŸ’€πŸ₯±

@TunnocksTCake I have tried morning and it was higher but still low.

My OPKS are very strong (high) last night so I'm expecting my Peak too, we must have a similar cycle πŸ™‚ wishing positive thoughts! We're doing every other night and we really couldn't be bothered last night. My OH said it takes the fun away a bit but fingers crossed it'll be worth it x

TunnocksTCake · 20/04/2023 10:08

@Bailem Have you tried putting it in your mouth to warm up for a few minues before pressing the button? Ive heard that being recommended somewhere if you dont think the temps are right. That does seem low.

I think I am due my peak today and hoping to O tomorrow. I looked back through past charts and can see a pattern with my EWCM that I always get 2 days of it then O the following day so thats handy to know and narrow down fertile window! EWCM started yesterday for me. We dtd Monday, last night and will do tonight and tomorrow I think as I am away on Saturday.

I just started doing the opk tests this morning, even tho it's the last day of my period, to get a feel for it. Using the Premom app and my reading is low, obviously! πŸ˜‚

Bailem · 19/04/2023 11:44

Thank you, I'm still reading as a chilly person but it has raised and I've had my first high reading on OPKS 🀞

How is everyone else doing? x
