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!

Had awful nausea this morning, only 5DPO so obviously not related to anything but does make you think! 😅

Angelselevenx · 29/05/2023 10:31

@pinkandredflowers yay!!

pinkandredflowers · 29/05/2023 10:31

Aaah I think my opk is nearly positive 🥳

1dpo, anyone else? 😊

@Jaded1982 ouch! I hope your UTI resolved soon, they can be so uncomfortable 😩

Jaded1982 · 29/05/2023 09:52

Can I join please. I have given up tracking this month and it was my first month of trying too. I have had the strangest systems but no positive opk. Bleeding just after what thought was ovulation and now a uti. The joys of being a woman. Good luck to you all!

MrsLully · 29/05/2023 09:48

@Angelselevenx no, I've never taken my temp or anything like that. I've never been on the pill so I've been practising what is now called Natural Family planning. I call it the Avoid sex a couple of weeks after your period for a few days if you don't want a baby 🤣 method. Not as glamorous and most definitely not as reliable but hey

pinkandredflowers · 29/05/2023 09:36

@ABLOSSOM your chart looks so good!! When will you test? When I was pregnant with my first mine looked very similar. The other thing I noticed was my heart rate on fitbit was getting slightly higher everyday that might have just been me tho!

My OPK still hasn't peaked and I'm CD17 I'm so confuuused. Today should have been ov day so was expecting to have peaked yday.

Pinkmoon23 · 28/05/2023 15:41

@Angelselevenx haha yeah it's so hard, I'm so impatient and obsessive anyway so not a good combo 😅 At least we have this chat to help!

@pinkandredflowers fingers crossed you'll get your positive opk soon! I've realised I think it's actually quite easy to miss the peak as it can happen when you're asleep 😅🙄. If yours are getting darker that's a good sign - keep us posted! Sorry to hear you weren't well with your first pregnancy, how old is your son/daughter now?

Well (over sharing time 😂) my son I had when I was 27 and I wasn't in a very good nor healthy relationship to be honest. He's now 7, (little love of my life 🥰) me and his dad broke up 5 years ago - and I've been with my current partner whom I'm so happy with, the relationship is great and healthy, he's an amazing step dad to my son. Things took a while to settle with coparenting with my ex. But now finally in a place where me and DH have decided to start trying, my son is so excited at the prospect of a sibling - even though there'll be a 7-8 year age gap I think it's good timing and I'm so excited for it all! ❤️ I'm 35 in September though so I'm not getting any younger 😅

Ahh that's lovely and so cute that your son is old enough to understand and be onboard. I have a similar age gap with my sister and it's amazing now we are adults! Fingers crossed for you!

Angelselevenx · 29/05/2023 09:19

@MrsLully ah yes I did read your story! I'm hopeful for you, you do find that when people aren't trying that's when they tend to get their positive! 🤞🏼

Do you temp or anything? My temp dipped yesterday at 4DPO which I think is normal but gone back up again today. Trying to not read into it to much but I'm not very good at that 😅🤦🏽‍♀️

MrsLully · 29/05/2023 08:41

@Angelselevenx don't apologise! I am not technically trying to conceive actually. We were talking about the possibility of having another one (our 3rd) but hadn't actually decided. Then we had an oopsy 🤣
Obviously now I'd love to be pregnant, but it's a long shot!
It all looks promising for you, just an eternity to find out. Gosh the wait to test kills me ha

Angelselevenx · 29/05/2023 08:35

@MrsLully ah okay so your AF is due a few days after me, I think I'm due 5th/6th this cycle but not sure if it'll be on time as I O a day earlier this month.

I had a CP on cycle 2 (this is cycle 4) and I checked back on my apps and I logged creamy cm then too so I can only hope but it's just still so early isn't it! How long have you been TTC? Sorry if you've already said x

MrsLully · 29/05/2023 08:32

@Angelselevenx Im supposed to get it around the 7th, but I'm normally always a bit late. Creamy cm is a good sign, I do remember it from my last pregnancy. I do think I'm out this time around

Angelselevenx · 29/05/2023 08:29

@MrsLully I'm 5DPO too! I also had pulling sensations yesterday and a few cramps this morning since I've got up but not much else bar creamy cm. When is AF due for you?

MrsLully · 29/05/2023 08:22

Good morning everyone!
@Natbelle I was feeling some dull pressure yesterday (4dpo), but after my section I'm very sensitive to changes in my lower abdomen, so I don't make anything of it.
I'm 5dpo and symptom free today, not happy 🤣

ABLOSSOM · 29/05/2023 07:31

Hi everyone - this is my chart this morning. Temps still high which is good - but I have had no symptoms and 8DPO.

Does anyone know how many days before AF temps would drop if negative?

1dpo, anyone else? 😊
Natbelle · 28/05/2023 19:21

3 dpo (typo)

Natbelle · 28/05/2023 19:20

3 soo here , not ttc , but had a little woopsie , I have tho strange burning sensation in my uterus area and I don’t think I’ve ever had this before my period , it’s all day long anyone else had this ? X

Kiwiburgh · 28/05/2023 18:49

@Bluemermaid32 sorry to hear it wasn't your month. Hopefully next cycle 🤞

@Pinkmoon23 it definitely Is easy to miss the peak. I got a high ratio before bed, peak first with fmu then a low with smu!

MrsLully · 28/05/2023 16:01

@Pinkmoon23 I'll be 35 in November so I feel the clock ticking too! How lovely that your wee boy is excited for a sibiling, crossing my fingers for you. Well, for all of us!

MrsLully · 28/05/2023 15:57

@Pinkmoon23 oh definitely hoping for a positive. We had been talking about trying for a while but couldn't quite make the decision. If it happens it's a conversation we won't have to have again! I've got a 4 and a 2 year old so I'd definitely have my hands full

Pinkmoon23 · 28/05/2023 15:44

@MrsLully this will be my 2nd 😊🤞
Aw I've been there before - do you think you're hoping for a positive more than a negative? It's hard when you're in two minds but exciting all the same 😅

Is anybody else trying for their third? My chances this month are tiny as it was sort of an accident and I'm already panicking at the prospect of a positive. At the same time I'll be really disappointed if the test is negative though, ha

Angelselevenx · 28/05/2023 15:25

@Pinkmoon23 I know, I'm 4dpo and already overthinking 😅🤦🏽‍♀️

@Angelselevenx no worries! 🥰 Thank you, fingers crossed. It's so confusing and I'm trying not to stress but it's hard! 😅
