4dpo here and going to wait to test until 9/10 as no point earlier. Last time I was testing at 7 😂

Enjoying living in the unknown state of am I or am I not as I don't want to handle a blank test right now after our loss last month. Keep feeling some cramps and a bit of 'pulling' but can't remember if it felt the same as last time or if it's just normal cycle stuff 🤷

@Bailem I just had a dip at 3dpo and I’m worried something’s wrong.

@emmatcc1 I do, but I'll admit not very strictly. Forgot to temp yesterday as I had a long day at work, this morning was raised but was done 2 hours after my normal time in the morning due to a little lie-in. x

@Ladyinpink1 No I always ovulate in the middle of the night but this cycle it was in the late morning so my temps did go up at the time I take temps

Did your app change your dpo today? @emmatcc1

Yes tww is the longest, I feel really hopeful but also a feeling of it's never going to happen too. I was going to try to wait but I will probably end testing

I feel like the first week goes by so slow. I’m so impatient and just wanna know already.

So much this!

I tell myself I will hold out but I’ve already got itchy hands at 3DPO 🤦🏻‍♀️ will probably try and wait until 10DPO but a week still feels like ages!

cdn298 · 19/05/2023 12:25

I want to try and hold out on testing but I don't know if I'll be able to 🙈

I’m 1dpo today. Does anyone plan on testing or are you waiting on af.

Ladyinpink1 · 19/05/2023 06:01

Thank you, I will check it out 🙂

RegardingPersephone · 18/05/2023 22:15

1dpo here. Only managed to dtd the night before my LH surge (got peak the morning after) so not sure if it will take this month. Google tells me there is still a good chance. Had a miscarriage last month so been stressing me and dp out with opk and dtd! Will relax next month if it doesn't happen.

hopefulsquirrel · 18/05/2023 21:38

@Ladyinpink1 just to throw another app into the mix, I use Premom. I like it as it interprets my OPKs for me

elarcoiris · 18/05/2023 21:26

Can I join? TTC #2 and I think I’m 2 or 3dpo with AF due on 30 May. I’m on my second cycle of cyclogest for low progesterone, which seemed to do its job last cycle in terms of lengthening luteal phase and possibly bringing forward ovulation this cycle, so hoping this might be our month!

Ladyinpink1 · 18/05/2023 21:19

I was just reading the earlier comments that I missed and noticed that quite a few use the flo app... so it seems really popular, is it good and quite accurate? Would it be better than the fertility friend app?

Also @hopefulsquirrel your comment made me smile (starts with a 4)

Bailem · 18/05/2023 18:35

@BuzzieBo tbh as well as tracking I get all the natural feelings of ovulation 😉🤣 so I definitely know when it's happening and it's always been pretty spot on with my period tracking app too 🙂

Ladyinpink1 · 18/05/2023 18:35

I am due AF about 30th or 31st May.

That is interesting @emmatcc1 I always assumed the day of ovulation was the most important day, (which we didn't do this month, we dtd the day before ovulation so that is good to know)

@BuzzieBo I think it is good to know ov date but also I think you can obsess too much (that is me definitely lol) there must be a balance somewhere but I haven't found it yet 😄

Also as others said, I dislike the wait of the tww ... even more obsessing

BuzzieBo · 18/05/2023 17:22

That's interesting @emmatcc1 . If don't fall pregnant this cycle I might start taking ovulation tests because to be honest DTD every other day can be exhausting and not as exciting when you have to stick to a schedule 😂

hopefulsquirrel · 18/05/2023 17:12

AF is due 29th of May for me. I hate the waiting so much!

I went 9 cycles without testing and now I have some cheap test so I’ll probably start on 9-10 dpo.
@BuzzieBo If you do it every other day it doesn’t really matter if you know when you ovulate but I find it better to know how long is each phase of my cycle and know the day af has to come and if it’s late since you can ovulate different days each cycle. Also I read somewhere yesterday that dtd 2 days before o there’s 30% chance of conception the day before o has 41% conception and doing it on o day has only 20% chance. So the day you don’t dtd might just be the day before ovulation and you lower your chances.

1st of June for me also. I'm trying to stay relaxed about it but its tricky.

I am only using the Flo app to track ovulation and all your comments make me feel like I should be doing more. Trying to DTD every other day so maybe knowing when I ovulate doesn't even matter that much.

2nd cycle trying for 1st baby after a miscarriage earlier in the year.

Bailem · 18/05/2023 16:34

@emmatcc1 I'm also the 1st June, seems like such a long way off. I feel more chilled this month but could all change in the week before AF 🙈 x

Update I checked my cervix again and it’s completely closed so ovulation definitely happened.
When is af due for everyone? Mine is on june 1.
