1dpo, anyone else? 😊

Hi guys, just looking for some cycle buddies. This will be our 3rd cycle hoping for that BFP 🤞. I think I'm either ovulating today or 1dpo... I got my darkest opk yesterday morning (CD13) but we had my sons birthday trip away camping so I wasn't able to repeat the test to see if I got my peak in the evening. I'm presuming I would have. I haven't had a temp rise yet, so I think I'll get one tomorrow if I ovulated today. It's all a bit confusing 😅. Anyway, it'd be cool to have someone to wait with!

@Pinkmoon23 sorry yes you did say!! Well with the almost positive and the temp rise I'd say that you could've then! Hopefully your temp goes up again tomorrow 🤞🏼 that should confirm it for you

@Angelselevenx hey, yeah it wasn't quite positive but verrrrry close in person. Then unfortunately I wasn't able to test in the evening as we were camping for my sons birthday. So I'm presuming that would have been my peak that evening, ovulated day 14 as my temps rose day 15. CM seems to be drier too. But now I'm getting darker tests again I'm not sure... I guess I'll just keep testing and see if I get an actual positive?

@Pinkmoon23 I'm not sure if you ovulated on CD13, that doesn't look as dark as the control line but it could just be the photo x

I'm so confused. My opk seem to be getting darker this afternoon. Does this mean I haven't ovulated or is it just up and down because of the dilution of urine/time of day?

1dpo, anyone else? 😊

I never tracked my temperature when trying for my daughter.
We bd'd quite a few times around last ovulation and I'm sure that on the day we did it in the morning and night time but still didn't catch me. Can't do anymore than that really x

@Pinkmoon23 I haven't been temping this time. It's only cycle 1 and so I was meant to be very chilled (but couldn't help with the OPKs!). I will next time if we don't get lucky.

CD16 today and was expecting to ovulate tomorrow. I have tested 3 times already today 😂 it's getting a little darker so maybe I'll peak tonight/early tomorrow and can then have a final try before work on Tues!

How did you decide it was time to TTC for another? I always wanted 2 or 3 children until I was pregnant and it made me sooo ill. Struggled with a newborn in lockdown too so we were pretty sure we would actually stop at 1 but recently have changed our minds.

@pinkandredflowers thank you! I hope I have actually ovulated, I'm going to keep testing and make sure I don't have a second surge. If my temps keep rising that'll make it clearer too. We BD'd today too just to make sure 😅🤞
Do you temp chart? Yeah keep testing and I'm sure they'll darken soon, what CD are you on? And are you testing twice a day? Apparently afternoon is the best to detect it I read recently... Hope you get answers soon 😊

@ABLOSSOM yeah I can imagine that must be so frustrating, have you heard of vitex/agnus castus, I've heard that's meant to be good for irregular cycles? Looks like you've been doing everything as well as you can so really hoping you get your BFP this cycle! 🤞AF is due on the 10th of June for me so quite a wait. I'm frustrated I wasn't able to test opk on the Friday evening so I'm going to keep testing just incase I get a 2nd surge 😬 hopefully my temp will continue to rise! 🤞

@Pinkmoon23 yes they have been really tricky for me and I have been taking vitamins and acupuncture to help regulate them! I just really want this month to be the month, but got a sad feeling it just won't work out.

Your temp and graph looks really positive. I would say today is 1DPO. My temp did a rise again today so will see what it's like in the next few days. AF is due next Sunday if I go off when I ovulated!

pinkandredflowers · 28/05/2023 10:51

@Pinkmoon23 I think you are right looks like you ovulated yday! I think you have it covered so good luck!! 🥰 now the symptom spotting starts...

My OPKs are still negative which is worrying as I thought I would be ovulating tomorrow so should be positive today?? Maybe my cycle is going to be a bit longer than usual. Really hoping I get a positive opk soon because it's hard to find the time when back at work after the bank holiday.

MrsLully · 28/05/2023 10:11

@Pinkmoon23 with my second I wasted so many tests, so I've promised myself that I'd wait until I miss a period. Of course I'll cheat and will be testing in a few days Grin

Morning all. How's everyone? So my temp went up this morning to the highest it's been this cycle so far. We were camping for my sons birthday so didn't manage to catch my peak opk - it was very dark Friday morning so I've just presumed it would have peaked Friday evening (which is driving me mad as I'm not 100% sure 😂😭) And because of camping we only were able to BD early Friday morning and not yesterday.

I'm panicking already it wasn't enough. As if I did ovulate yesterday we only had 2 days within my fertile period. I hope this is OK?

Fertility friend seems to think I ovulated earlier but when I input the opk presumed peak to it, it doesn't give me any date yet.

What do you guys think? Temp rise today seems to suggest I ovulated yesterday and today is 1dpo?

1dpo, anyone else? 😊

@Pinkmoon23 thank you! Hope this is your month too 😊 ooh yes show us your graph, glad your temp went up, did you manage to DTD yesterday?

@pinkandredflowers sorry to hear you were very ill first pregnancy, I was the same with my son {he's 7 now} so hoping this time round there'll be less sickness, fingers crossed this is your month too! 🤞

@Kiwiburgh hiiiii! 😊 Nice to see a familiar face (name 😆) here. We're almost at the same dpo, I think I'm 1 today. My chart is confusing me though. Good plan waiting to test, I'm going to try and do the same but not sure I'll succeed. Really hoping this is our cycle! 🤞🤞🤞

@ABLOSSOM Irregular cycles must be quite tricky - your chart looks great I reckon though, you can see your temp increase! Yup I'm taking my temp first thing, trying to keep it around the same time but sometimes I wake up early needing a pee! 😅 I'm the same with symptom spotting I get obsessed 😂.

@Angelselevenx Of course, welcome! 😊 Sorry to hear about your chemical, really hoping this is your month! 🤞My temp went up this morning so I think that means I ovulated yesterday - I'll wait a few days to see if it stays up, I'll post a photo in a new post.

@Angelselevenx Hi! No, I don’t. I always know when I’m ovulating as I get cramps every month. If I happen to be pregnant it would be a total fluke as we weren’t planning to start yet, but happened to have an accident the day I was ovulating! I’d be over the moon regardless 🤗

Angelselevenx · 28/05/2023 09:09

@MrsLully 4DPO here too 😊 do you take your temp?

MrsLully · 28/05/2023 09:07

Hello! I hope it’s ok to join you all. I’m 4dpo and already getting impatient! I have two little ones, so this would be our third

Bluemermaid32 · 28/05/2023 07:52

No need to test. Cd 29 and started spotting this morning.
Onto the next cycle.
Good luck everyone x

Angelselevenx · 28/05/2023 06:46

@Pinkmoon23 how's your temp looking today? X

Kiwiburgh · 28/05/2023 00:30

@Pinkmoon23 hey, I'm jumping over from the other thread as that seems to have gotten quiet. I ovulate either today or tomorrow ( depending what ovulation test I go by)
Hopefully this will be all our month 🙏 I'm trying not to test until af due at 15dpo as the poor line progression last month really stressed me out. I normally start testing at 8dpo so wish me luck 😅

Bluemermaid32 · 27/05/2023 22:21

@Angelselevenx i don't know yet when to test.
Not got any different symptoms than what I usually get before i come on.
It took us nearly 2 years to conceive our daughter including 2 miscarriages so if it's meant to be it'll be x

Angelselevenx · 27/05/2023 21:17

@ABLOSSOM thank you. It is! It's a second oestrogen surge, I've googled the hell out of that the last few months. Nothing to worry about id say 😊

It's weird my graph is so similar to the first month I temped with my cp (in blue) but it might just be normal and my cycle last month was thrown off 🤷🏽‍♀️

How long were you TTC for your son?

ABLOSSOM · 27/05/2023 21:08

@Angelselevenx sorry to hear about your chemical - fingers crossed this month is your month! 🩷 your graph is looking very positive! Is it normal to have a dip after ovulation then as I had one this morning and was slightly anxious?

@pinkandredflowers sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience last time. I hope this time is much better for you and they do say every pregnancy is different!

@Bluemermaid32 fingers crossed for you! When are you going to start testing? Have you had any symptoms yet?
