TTC Sept 2023

Hi ladies just wondering if someone might be able to help please. Been TTC baby#1 for a few months now, my last cycle was over 9 weeks, now cd11 of this cycle. This is our first cycle using bbt and opks. Premom app this evening has just told me I ovulated 2 days ago (cd9), until now predicted ovulation was next Friday cd 17. Never got an LH spike but only started twice daily testing today (didn't record this morning's but definitely wasn't positive). Think it is very unlikely I ovulated on day 9 as since stopping pill shortest cycle I've had has been 29 days. Is this probably just a mistake with the app? Thanks!

Thank you!

It has been so hard with LO he was nursing at night until I weaned him in July and my cyclea have been manic.

Looking back on my calendar we haven't properly DTD during my fertile weeks at all. We decided in Feb but have had things come up and LO sickness and teething. Sometimes my cycle was 21days then 43days!!! Very little info on nursing on demand and cycles.

So Aug is the first month we DTD every 2days!

@muffin1996 so I had been on one form of progesterone or another for past 10 years and never had periods at all whilst on it! They came straight back with 28-31 day cycles when I stopped which I was really surprised about

@Blackberry95 Quick question, did you have irregular cycles before starting the pill and did they remain regular once you came off?

@Babyhopeful23 tracking since new year when I stopped my pill. Starting to feel panicky these last couple of cycles tho

@Blackberry95 im in the same boat. What cycle is this for you? Seeing the negative tests is probably the hardest part. I bought myself a sheet mask and I’m going to have a bath this evening and have a cry and chill.

Another BFN here at 12 DPO felt a bit crampy so think AFs on its way, back to square 1 again I guess. Any tips for not letting it get you down

@Skyla01 will let you know. I think walking is the only form of cardio I enjoy lol. Other than that, I used to do strength training three times a week with dumbbells. Which I loved so trying to get back on track!

@Babyhopeful23 thank you x it’s my first month of trying but I definitely think keeping myself busy and taking my mind off it is important

Sending loads of baby dust and positivity ✨️ 💗

@Riverofhope 10dpo would make sense for implantation! Keep us updated 🤞

@etaketak1991 Thanks, so I’m 10 dpo today then. I’ve done an ultra sensitive test and feel like I can see a barely there faint line…. But my husband can’t see anything. Don’t want to get my hopes up

@Riverofhope I calculate from day after, Ive read ovulation occurs 24-36 hours after a positive OPK x

I’ve started having some little cramps today, and suddenly bloated - I’m not sure how many DPO I am - does everyone calculate from the positive test or the day after?
AF not due for another week yet 🤔

@Riverofhope I hate an unexpected ovulation date, then you feel like it’s a wasted cycle because you didn’t try enough.
I think you know your own body and negative tests are so disheartening.
I am now 10DPO and tested, negative. I’m booking the GP appointment next month, I live in Ireland and it’s so slow to get any tests on the public wait list. But at least we can join the queue.
This is baby number 2 for us, although it’s been almost 9 years since I conceived my first!
@muffin1996 dont be too hard on yourself, it’s so easy to fall off the wagon. Join a class or do an activity that you enjoy, it’s easier commit when it’s not torture 😂
@Lorddenning1 congrats, those lines are so strong! Wishing you all the best in pregnancy x
@Skyla01 best of luck testing tomorrow, I hope you get a strong line x

@muffin1996 keep us posted if AF arrives or not. TTC can be a good time to focus on yourself. What kind of exercise do you enjoy?

Patiently waiting for AF ago arrive today 😪 once it arrives I’m just going to start working on myself again. I’ve been falling back in exercising!

Congrats to everyone that got their BFP!

@Lorddenning1 those look similar to the tests I use. I'm planning to test again tomorrow so hope I get a line like yours!

@MixedCouple I was the same, not tracking ovulation so just trying to DTD enough over the week when I thought I would ovulate.

@MixedCouple Good luck and baby dust! ✨

10dpo, BFN and my temp dipped from 36.7 to 35.5 this morning. Have a feeling I might be out this cycle 👎

Awww positives already. Congrats ladies!!!!
I assume I am like 2DPO..... Ish..... No idea.
Had EWCM for quiet a while and fertility information I got suggests ovulation can occur within a 6day window. So cant really pinpoint.

Hiya all.

TTC Baby #2
No idea what cycle day I am on. Cycles have been so hectic aince weaning my LO.
Just been BD every 2 days before and after my Positive OPK.

@Skyla01 this has been my progression, my first one was really faint too.

@etaketak1991 thanks, think I might wait until Monday. Feeling a bit nervous about it all. Would rather wait a bit

How is everybody else getting on?

@Skyla01 Congratulations on your positive test 🎉 Sending lots of sticky baby dust and hope your wait until the next test passes quickly x

Hi all jumping over from August thread! 11DPO today- I use OPKs and the Premom app photo ratios to find my peak and flo to track my cycles. I look to have ovulated a couple of days earlier than usual this month but my luteal phase is always really consistent so I’m thinking AF due Monday/Tuesday (CD 27/28)
Never been pregnant before and not really spotted any symptoms but been busy with work. Had a bit of a mare this month as lots of BD gave me a UTI!!!
trying not to test, did one at like 8DPO and got upset at the BFN (silly I know) so trying to wait until due

@UnaVaca I might join in a few days, once I have a stronger line.

@muffin1996 thanks. I was definitely recommend just waiting until AF is a day or two late, then at least you should get a definitive line. I still feel in limbo a bit. It's so hard to stay level headed whilst TTC!
