1DPO

@MrsL2019 yes that's literally so true, never even thought about that either but so true, I think I am to be honest with Christmas coming up im distracted and excited about that so I'm finding it bit easier than what I think I will next month, how are you finding it? I'm due 23rd when are you due? Xx

@MrsL2019 it's shit init when you feel like your already out because it's feel so long away until we can try for the next month I just want it to hurry up now, hopefully it's not af and it's implantation bleeding fingers crossed for you xx

@GHJ that must be a relief fingers crossed for you x

@MrsL2019 try not to look to much init it I know it's so hard not to symptom spot I had just very very mild cramps yesterday and today and thought it was strange fingers crossed for us trying to stay positive but definitely think I'm out already unfortunately x

I've had a positive LH test today! Feeling relieved that my body is doing something!!! Hows everyone doing?

@MrsL2019 I'm feeling the same I haven't felt hopeful from the start to be honest and funny as I've had back ache today too unsure if it's just random but I never think to much into it really hopefully feb will be our month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks both it's frustrating but good to be able to talk about it.

@MrsL2019 I had a scan a few months ago and everything looked normal so shouldn't be endometriosis but who knows. We're expecting a fertility referral at some point but it's been a couple months already since GP requested it so waiting game really I think.

@BatildaB sorry to hear you've not picked up a peak either. It's exactly right what you say at least if you've peaked you have a finite point where you'll be expecting AF and will know one way or another. My first really long one that was 65 days I just wanted AF to come as much as I wanted to be pregnant the not knowing was horrible. Hope your peak comes soon xx

@GHJ that sounds so frustrating, especially since with testing you can’t just forget about it for a bit but have constant reminder/thing to remember.

@MrsL2019 you’re properly into the next tww now then! Good luck, hope it passes quickly.

I’ve been lh testing while ill and don’t think it peaked, am feeling a bit better now and fever has dropped, will see if ovulation is delayed or taking a month off in a couple of days i guess.

Feeling quite frustrated with this cycle. Cd19 and no peak yet, had positive tests cd16 through cd18 last cycle but nothing at all yet. Haven't been dtd much as really not getting much time currently but I'm already expecting this to be one of the horrible long cycles I've been having again as cycle before last I tested for 42 days, never got a peak and ended up being 60day cycle. Apparently I don't have pcos so not sure why this is happening but feels so disheartening.

@MrsL2019 @Tiffany88 glad it’s not just me that didn’t always know all this stuff!

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the actual numbers but eg this website has these figures, https://proovtest.com/blogs/blog/high-fertility-vs-peak-fertility#:~:text=As%20you%20can%20see%2C%20while,this%20is%20called%20peak%20fertility.

• 27%: 3 days before (high fertility)
• 33%: 2 days before (high fertility)
• 41%: 1 day before (peak fertility)
• 20%: Ovulation day

I think it’s because of sperm capacitation, they need 10 hours or so to get ready, and the egg expires quite quickly. So you want to get well ahead of the egg, not wait for it to pop out then respond!

@BatildaB no I didn't know that still lots of learning to do really thank you

Don’t know if the different cheap strips behave any differently but yeah that looks high! If it goes down tomorrow then today is your peak. Peak day is your most fertile day, more than ovulation day - maybe you already know that but I didn’t realise at first!

@BatildaB thank you these are the results from pre mom and the cheap test so do you think I'll ovulate tomorrow the top test is from earlier today and the bottom one is from about 5 minutes ago

@GHJ i’m cd 8 or 9 (premom app seems to give a bonus day after a chemical..), have sometimes had peak as early as 10 but usually a bit later so i might be better in time. Hope you get an lh peak in the next few days, and that it’s not a long cycle. 60 days would be maddening, at least a tww is finite.

@Tiffany88 I don’t know how clearblue works, i use premom app and easy@home strips. But it should be the day after your peak is ovulation day, so then day after that is 1dpo. If you’re temping you can confirm more precisely, as ovulation might be later after peak.

I’m worrying about whether fever in follicular stage can damage a potential pregnancy and if i should skip this cycle. Really hard to tell from a google whether it’s a risk or not.

Hiya all I think I'm due to ovulate had a sting positive ovulation test, I'm wondering how I'll know when I'm 1dpo? I've never really used ovulation tests, do I need to keep testing I still just had high on the clear blue monitor but I'm assuming it'll be peak tomorrow

My last cycle I had twice the lh peak I usually do and that obviously led to almost something so maybe it can be a good sign..

Thank you good luck to you too though sorry to hear you're unwell. Hope you can take some you time to help with your stress. Sounds like you're run down with it. What cd are you on? I'm cd14 and last cycle was LH high then positive cd 16 through 18. Unless I'm going back to 60 + day cycles which I'm dreading happening again!
