TTC 2024 Babies 🍼🤰🏻🌟🍀🤞🏻💕

What app or method is everyone using to track their cycles? I'm using Natural cycles but it's not great at reading the clear blue advanced ovulation tests as there's only an option for LH only

@Sez281 AF just arrived so next month it is. I think my iphone health app was pretty rubbish, we weren’t tracking it that closely and just doing whatever but looking back now their prediction of ovulation was totally off! Don’t think I even had a chance although my body was totally throwing me off (never have pms symptoms but totally did last week!)

premom app and ovulation sticks ready to go for next month!

to be fair the app was really on point even without testing! AF predicted yesterday and i did spot and started today so at least my cycle was fairly regular.

fingers crossed for next month and good luck for anyone waiting!

back to CD1 and cycle 2 properly testing this time 😊

Hi @CatiaR fingers crossed you're super lucky in your 1st cycle 🤞 If not the opks and apps like Premom are great for tracking next cycle 👌

Hi all! Hope you don’t mind me joining, TTC for #1 first cycle 13dpo currently and AF is about to come I’m sure so just waiting for it to start and try again next month.

i realise that my phone health app seems terribly inaccurate so switched to premom which says I’m already 2 days late but bfns all week so I’m sure I’m out.

got ovulation strips delivered yesterday so if AF does turn up as expected I’ll give a proper testing month.

good luck to anyone waiting! Sending baby dust to all x

@Annie1295 sorry to hear that, hopefully it happens soon. @CinderRosie we're around same time wise. Hopefully tww flies in! 🤞

@Sez281 unfortunately AF came yes. CD9 now just waiting for fertile window to start

CD13 for me and got a static smiley yesterday, and a positive strip test last night. This morning the strip test was even more positive than last night so I guess ovulation is imminent… I’m getting ovary twinges right now 👀 DTD Monday, Wednesday and this morning and will go again tomorrow morning.

@Annie1295 I'm doing ok thanks. I was on holidays with DPs family when it happened so that was a good distraction. I'm just really frustrated because I don't know where I am in my cycle now 🥴 The bleeding only lasted for 2.5 days I did LH the next day and it was really high which I know isn't possible so it was probably some hcg left in my system 🤷‍♀️ I'm going to pretend I'm in my fertile window now going on previous cycles cos I do have some ovulation pain but according to my app it won't be for another week so it's just a waiting game now I guess.. with a lot of dtd just in case.

Did AF come last week for you?

@Sez281 how are you doing?

Cycle day 12 for me after CP. according to my app I'm not in fertile window for another 2 days but if I go by my 2 previous cycles I'm in the middle of it and should be ov today or tomorrow so going to have to dtd a lot over the next week or so to cover all bases 🙈 @Annie1295 @Babyhopeful23 I totally get it, it's exhausting and literally living life around cycles dying for the tww 🥴

@Babyhopeful23 CD8 today. Feel like I love life in two halves of waiting - waiting for fertile window, then two week wait. It's exhausting

On cd19, 3dpo! Roll on the 8th of August 😂

Where are we all at in our cycles?
I feel like my life just plays on a loop of 30 days (the length of my cycle)!!!

@Annie1295 I'll let you know in two weeks if AF arrives 🤣🤣 we used it three times over the 3 days so 🤞🏼 lots of positive stories if you Google but doesn't work for everyone first time

@Angelselevenx I've bought some preseed for this month. Is it any good?

@Angelselevenx Goodluck! I used preseed when I conceived my son, and started using it again now! So hopefully lucky for us both 🍀 🙌

Good luck @Daniki !

I've been a bit MIA on these forums recently as I took a big step back, until I was nearing O day and started testing LH numerous times a day 🤣. First time using preseed this month as well and DTD -5, -2, twice on -1 and then O day. Back into the two week wait tomorrow 🤞🏼

@Babyhopeful23 we don't do SMEP exactly I just work back from predicted ovulation and we try to DTD every two days during the fertile window. Found every day and being too scheduled quite hard

Yea we're doing SMEP this month. I'm exhausted! 🫣😂 peaked yesterday so ovulated today. We did yesterday, will go tonight tomorrow and Thursday and hope for the best! 😁🤞🏻

@Babyhopeful23 I have already been using the CB digi tests and Easy @ home alongside for a few months, so can usually pinpoint ovulation and I’m just planning DTD around what result I get. It does all feel quite timetabled I’m just going to try and make it as relaxed and fun as possible 😂

@CinderRosie im just coming to the end of it. It’s fine, I mean it’s probably not something we could do every month. I think it’s just a lot of pressure to have a timetable and would ruin the mood.
did you use a calculator to decide when to DTD? I haven’t fully pinpointed Ovulation on OPKs but I base it on symptoms and the trending LH rise. If it doesn’t happen this month I’m going for the clear blue ovulation tests.

@Babyhopeful23 we are doing SMEP this month, DTD yesterday CD8 and will go again tomorrow.trying to conserve energy ready for the every day part 😳

Anyone doing SMEP this month? I swear if we don’t make a baby this month there is no hope for us 😂😂 I’m actually enjoying it but I couldn’t do it every month. CD15 and due to ovulate on Sunday. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@ShanTTC22 I've had 2 cycles of 9 days of flashing smilies 🙄 I gave up on cb opks too expensive in the end

@ShanTTC22 I've had 7 before because I got the day to start testing wrong based on my cycle length so that could affect jt?
