Yes I don't think I cope with a bfp turning negative a few days later so will try and remember that when tempted to test this wkend. My cycles have been irregular since miscarriage in December so hard to judge though when 'late'. Also have a 3yr old son 😊

He is 3. How old is your child? Ha ha I mean I say I won’t but who knows. I tested early before I had my son and I had a chemical and since then it’s put me off because I’ll always be stressing until after my AF is due

Exciting! How old is your son/daughter?🤞you don't have to wait too long for a bfp. Saw you have great restraint and are waiting till after your period to test - very sensible! If I get to 11dpo I feel like I am doing well 😂

Can I join? Roughly 7dpo. TTC second child. Have had two pregnancy losses in last 8 months so hasn't been an easy process at all. Only managed to DTD twice in fertile window (3 days and 2 days before ov) so not ideal but you never know! Going to test on Tues 😬 how are you all feeling?

Of course! Welcome @tulipsunday I’m sorry to hear about your losses, I hope you get your BFP this month. I’m TTC number 2 but not long started.

I think I’m going try wait til I’ve missed my period so I avoid disappointment. Unless I have signs and symptoms before then? I’ve got bad cramps today that feel like AF

Ah yes I can see, so if I have another rise in temp that would confirm 26th as my ovulation date.

Yes, I believe that’s how it works. Then your temp is supposed to stay above the cover line until af is due to arrive or arrives, but stays high if you are pregnant. Many things can make your temp fall or rise though, so may not be very accurate some months🙄

When are you ladies planning on testing? I have a night out planned for next Friday so I will probably use a frer on Friday morning which will be 10 dpo.

@PurplePanda9 yes I had a nice ride in temp yesterday and Wednesday too, today I’m back to 36.4 so I’m guessing that’s it all done.

@LolaStanley1 we are off to turkey .. in a nice family room lol so thankfully I got my high’s this week otherwise we would have missed it again, last month we missed it completely by ovulating late, I thought we had dtd enough but turned out that I actually ovulated a week later which then caused me to have a 46 day cycle instead of my nice healthy 31 😩

That exact same thing happened to me last month! Ended up with a 46 day cycle and only week we didn’t DTD was the fertility week! What do you mean with that’s it done for the bbt?

Hey! Ooo very similar! How do you confirm the date with BBT? I’ve been BBT as well just never know when is classed as ovulation.

Show quote history

So I’ve started using the fertility friend app and it confirms your ovulation date after 3 raised temps in a row. I’ll try and attach a photo to show you what I mean.

I’ve only recently started tracking temps so don’t know how accurate this is!

Hi @LolaStanley1

I’m in a similar boat to you this month. LH surge on the 24th and think I ovulated on the 25th according to my temps. So 3 dpo today.

Also only managed to dtd on the 22nd so 3 days before ovulation, so not holding out much hope this month.

Oh lovely, anywhere nice? We normally DTD frequently but this month just wasn’t possible which is typical with this being the first time I’ve had an Lh surge.

Toddy21 · 28/04/2023 13:11

Mine was yesterday or possibly the day before, both days my ovulation tests had 2 very nice bold lines, both days cramping, bloating and twinges with a little bit of nausea, we DTD both days plus the day before that and he day before that. We do tend to do it every other day anyway but ovulation makes me a bit needy haha so I jump on him whenever we get a chance 🤣🙈 he doesn’t complain.
do I’m either 2PO or 1PO. We are going on holiday in the morning so hopefully a week in the sun will ease the nerves and take the attention off it all for a bit. Let’s hope we get our BFP.
