TWW - Short(ish) LP

513 replies

TTC12023 · 09/04/2023 07:20

Hi ladies! I was just wondering anyone wanted to join me in the TWW? According to my apps I was due to O tomorrow (10th, CD23) but have ended up O'ing on Thursday (06th, CD19 Hmm) so currently 3DPO. Thankfully had been BD but it's not going to be enough we don't think as only caught -3, -2, +1. This is our third month trying so not too long but I would love some company to stop me going mad, I only have a 10-12 day LP which is stressing me out as it doesn't feel long enough but apparently it is!! Grin. Baby dust to you all!

@BB2818 sounds like a plan! Manifesting a long LP between us seems to have worked!

It honestly infuriates me that the blood work is done on a typical 28 day cycle! If they checked my day 21 bloods for a rise, in some months it would be flat as a a pancake because I don't O until day 23!

@Ttcmumma Let’s keep talking. Might give us more of a chance. Maybe we should change the group to ‘never going to happen’ then it might 🙊

@TTC12023 mine are all over the place too. Trying not to look too much into the dips. I have a sore throat this morning and haven’t slept properly again. Temp has dipped to 36.59 today. Having bloods again this morning. Should have had CD26 but that was Saturday 🤪

I have told myself Tuesday. I would be at least 11dpo if not 13 by then 🤞🏼

Nice dip on 8DPO! My charts are all over the place this month 😒
FF still hasn't given me crosshairs so I've over ridden using NC data - either 6 or 7DPO today but not holding out ANY hope this month 😝
Will try hard next month for sure! Think DH is feeling a bit down as well due to lack of 'activity' 🤭

So much for short lp 😅 16dpo no AF but stark white tests... Af just making me wait this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm loving that we seem to have encouraged long LP by talking to each other! 🤣

@BB2818 potentially but I'm cd29 so would expect a positive by now regardless really. I'd say if anything it was only a day or two later than the app says. 30 day cycle last month but was a later ovulation than this. If I get past Tuesday with no AF I'll be very confused haha.

Ohh have you started testing or are you going to soon?

BB2818 · 14/05/2023 18:13

@Ttcmumma could you have ovulated later?

CD27 today. I had a 33 day cycle last month but I had Covid at the beginning of my cycle. Bloods also showed that I ovulated around CD19/20. My charts show I ovulated CD18 but I think it was more likely CD16.

@Ttcmumma @BB2818 is right you're not out until AF arrives! Keeping everything crossed for you!
No crosshairs this morning on FF but NC has finally figured out I ovulated earlier in the week, it says Tuesday but I'm 99% certain it was during the day/overnight on Monday as temp high Tuesday morning. Temp also skyrocketed to 37.08 which is really high for me but maybe I didn't sleep as well as I thought!
So I'm either 4 or 5 DPO I guess!

@Ttcmumma you are not out until AF arrives.

It’s almost a year ago I last found out I was pregnant - unfortunately ending in miscarriage. Trying to stay positive 🤞🏼

Ttcmumma · 12/05/2023 22:06

It was when I fell pregnant last year! Tho I'm currently in my sulking because I'm certain AF is coming phase 🤦🏼‍♀️

BB2818 · 12/05/2023 21:59

Lets hope for all our sakes that DTD too much is over rated 🤞🏼🙌🏻

@BB2818 @Ttcmumma I think I ovulated Monday but no crosshairs yet! My temps have been all over the place because of early mornings, work, travel and drinks 😒
Hopefully they'll appear tomorrow morning!
I'm definitely not holding out hope this month, we've only managed to DTD 3 times this month due to above and illness 🙈 on the positive side though if I did ovulate Monday then we managed it on that day!
I've only been in the 4 months and I'm so over it already 🤣🤣

OP posts:
BB2818 · 12/05/2023 19:48

CD25 today not really sure when to expect AF. It was 33 days last cycle but been averaging 27-29 🤷🏼‍♀️ could be at least a week until AF arrives. Temperature suggests between CD16-19 that I ovulated so going to wait until Tuesday to test 🤞🏼. No symptoms what so ever atm.

Ttcmumma · 11/05/2023 11:36

Af due in 2-4 days and clear blue 6 days early is negative, got one more to try if af doesn't come but convinced it will now

BB2818 · 10/05/2023 20:49

@Ttcmumma it only takes the once. If we haven’t DTD lots around ovulation I usually write myself out well before AF is due to arrive 🤣 need positive vibes right now 🙏🏻🤞🏼🍀

Ttcmumma · 10/05/2023 18:10

@BB2818 I don't usually ovulate that early so not sure if it will actually be a 30 day cycle just going off what my cycle length has been recently. So confusing! Tbh I've only used cheapies so maybe need to get an early test for in a couple of days.

Hopefully! I only dtd twice in fertile window (once was potentially out of the window depending on when I ovulated). Very confusing month 😅 but you never know. My pregnancy last year we only dtd twice all month 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I'm sure you're still in with a chance xx

BB2818 · 10/05/2023 18:05

@Ttcmumma That’s still early though. Even the early response tests say best results a day after missed period.

Only managed DTD CD15 and CD19 in the last 7 days. Hoping it was closed to one of those two days 🙏🏻

Ttcmumma · 10/05/2023 17:42

Testing not treating

Ttcmumma · 10/05/2023 17:40

@TTC12023 have you ovulated yet? Haha yeah mines getting earlier actually. I think my cycles were messed after the MMC and now they're going back to normal.

@BB2818 ah how annoying not to have a super clear answer haha. Atleast you know you ovulated recently I guess!

I'm around 10-12dpo and still negative so I'm not really hopeful anymore 🤦🏼‍♀️tho I'm cd 25 and usually have 30 day cycles so still 5 days until af or will it come sooner?! No idea lol just going to keep treating like an addict until af arrives 🤷🏼‍♀️

BB2818 · 10/05/2023 17:31

@TTC12023 don’t worry. I don’t always get notifications either. Any sign of ovulation yet?

@Ttcmumma how are you?

I had my bloods back from CD22 bloods (CD21 was a bank holiday). Tests show I ovulated during the last 7 days… not very specific this time. Last cycle CD21 showed low levels of progesterone 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m like I want a specific day here 🙋🏼‍♀️ haha!

@BB2818 @Ttcmumma go I hate this app! It didn't even bother telling me I'd been tagged 🙄😵‍💫

Im very jealous your ladies are already in your TTW! I haven't even O'd 🤦🏻‍♀️ fecking body 🤣
Thankful though as was away last week and not much chance to dtd as staying with family. I stared taking the pregnancare tablets and it'll be soda law I'm one of the ones it messes up their cycle!! On CD19 though which is the earliest I O typically it CD23ish

Used preseed this morning and was expecting that to be a nightmare based on reviews but was ok for me!

How is everyone else?

BB2818 · 07/05/2023 22:47

🤣🤣 definitely don’t rule out yet. Still a whole week of testing for you then.

I think I possible ovulated around CD18/19 but impossible to say with my temperature this cycle. CD20 today so I have just about started my TWW. Probably test in 2 weekends time. If I have the willpower 🙈

Ttcmumma · 07/05/2023 21:40

@BB2818 I already started 🤣 I use those cheap strips unless I think I see a line then I get a frer or something of the sort. So far negative but I'm only somewhere between 7 and 9 days dpo so not ruling myself out just yet x

BB2818 · 06/05/2023 19:14

@Ttcmumma when are you planning to test?

Didn't get around to dtd last night but did this morning 🙈 had a bit of a temperature rise this morning but wait and see what tomorrow morning is like. It’s hard to know for certain with it being all over the place. I have two lots of bloods in the next couple of weeks 🤞🏼
