@HavinKittens I'm an awful sleeper and wake during the night multiple times or get up and use the bathroom. So I don't see BBT being for me. But if this month ain't my month I'll do my best at BBT next month.

HavinKittens · 20/04/2023 11:36

I bought a Bluetooth thermometer to do my BBT this cycle. I’m not sure how accurate it will be as I still wake often in the night with my first.

Nmmck93 · 20/04/2023 11:32

@buckingmad aw I bought a thermometer for my BBT but I always forgot about it. I'm going to try my best to do it from next month if this month isn't mine!
I need to read up on it properly to know about it because I'm clueless with BBT. 🙈

CinderRosie · 20/04/2023 11:26

Congrats on the BFPs!

buckingmad · 20/04/2023 11:23

@Nmmck93 my tests look pretty much exactly the same as yours! Except I ran out after my peak so I've not tested since. My BBT was slightly raised this morning so will see what it does tomorrow.

Nmmck93 · 20/04/2023 11:17

@Babydustthisyear congratulations 🥳 over the moon for you.

@buckingmad - I got my peak last night and drastically dropped this morning. So DTD tonight and Saturday to try cover me fully but my TWW starts tomorrow going by my chart!

Congratulations to you both!

My little boy is a New Year’s Day baby. Although he was a week early… so you could end up with an Xmas baby ;)

Twinning with @ThomasinaLivesHere got my official digital positive today, (found out a few days ago on a cheapie) I'm also due 1st Jan 2023 🥰🥰 sending babydust to you all xxx

Daniki · 20/04/2023 10:20

Congrats @ThomasinaLivesHere 💓

@Freya8 I started testing yesterday and that was CD7 and was low, today is low as well so yours looks good! I used to track my ovulation before I got my pregnant with my son and I used to ovulate round cd 10 then, seems the miscarriages have messed up my cycle so starting to track again! I didn't use the app before just went by eye and I have to say I'm finding the app more confusing 😂

@Freya8 oh it's so stressful, this is only my second month TTC'ing for my first baby & it's actually so stressful, last month was so chill for me but this month I'm just so impatient and really want to just do what I can. & then work schedules get in the way and so forth!
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Freya8 · 20/04/2023 08:43

@Nmmck93 thanks so much!! Jeez i am jus so stressed after last months 2 surges n still af showed! 😫 gonna do smep here this month so done cd6 will do cd8 unless these opks start goin up now!!!

Nmmck93 · 20/04/2023 08:36

@ThomasinaLivesHere MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS 💜

@Freya8 I start testing once my period ends at CD5 last month I had similar to this around CD7/8 and got some advice on here and was told some times our body attempts to ovulate and fails but then you ovulate further on during the the month.
So last month I had that at CD7/8 & it dropped then had it again at CD13 which read as 77 on Premom then it dropped right down actually got my peak CD17 which left me ovulating on CD18

Our bodies just love stressing us out.
Hopefully you catch your peak but I would still DTD today just to cover you.

DHB · 20/04/2023 08:29

Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying this much needed sunshine!

I’m CD13 today, my OPKs increase yesterday to 0.1s which is the most mine have been so far haha! But I don’t know when my ovulation actually is as I’ve never tracked my cycles. Premom says I’m peak ovulation now until the next two days so we’ll see if the OPKs increase or not! We DTD today anyway, can’t hurt 😂

Freya8 · 20/04/2023 08:15

@ThomasinaLivesHere congrats!!!!!!buzzin for u!! Xx

Girls i need your help so im on cd7 what are your lh rates on that day on premom? I take it yous dont test this early .. basically as i had the whole 2 surge thing after coming off the pill i just test every day so as not to miss anythin but literally is scarin me that its that dark and should in theory have another week to go? Maybe it means nothin?

HavinKittens · 20/04/2023 07:12

@BB2023 do you track cervical mucus? I get ewcm like clockwork 2-3 days before my LH surge.
Hoping you get lucky first try :)

I didn't track it no. I tried to be more aware of it but I can't say I saw much difference day to do to be honest x

BB2023 · 19/04/2023 22:04

Hi ladies - hope you're all doing well.
CD18 for me today. As some of you know I had an ovulation testing nightmare this month so no idea when I ovulated of how many DPO I am. I would assume it would have happened by now though.
Yesterday and today I've had really sore/sensitive nipples. I don't want to read too much into it because I know tender breasts can just be a regular part of our cycles so could be absolutely nothing. As it's my first cycle I think we'd have to be very lucky to conceive straight away but I don't really know when my next AF will be or when I should test (if it's even worth doing) but hanging in there for now x

CinderRosie · 19/04/2023 21:44

@TTCnumberfour CD1 for me too!
This is our first month of hopefully TTC. I am so nervous , it’d be my second child and my first is an older teen so it’ll be starting all over again for me. DH has no children and really wants kids. I do too it’s just so flipping scary.

TTCing · 19/04/2023 21:35

CD9 for me today! Fertile window should be starting in a couple of days! So far, feeling quite optimistic (considering I had a chemical last cycle).

Kirstyddd · 19/04/2023 20:56

@buckingmad i think I am just always planning for the worst, I hope I’ve done enough I keep getting random little tugs and pinches hut there not all in the same place

Nmmck93 · 19/04/2023 20:42

@buckingmad aw I kept myself busy last month, but I've been so egar this month for fertile window; I'm deffs gunna do my absolute best to hold out to around 10dpo at least lol.
Can't wait to have someone to symptom spot with during my TWW. 🥳
