TTC March 2024 ❤️✨

I did. Yeah it was just before 3 weeks since I started my cycle. The ovulation pain this time was a lot more noticeable too. To the point it was uncomfortable. Normally it's just a stab here and there. I'm hoping we managed to catch it this month but I don't know. Now just got to get through the tww. Promised myself I wouldn't test early either lol. X

@Chaz693 Did you count first day of bleeding as cd1? I ovulated 3 weeks after I started bleeding and I had a ton of ewcm. And the rise of progesterone has been making me a little nauseous in the morning.

I would wonder this too @LK2610 you might have missed a rapid rise between CD 14 and 15. Or perhaps it's a later ovulation this month. I've also heard it seems to be reasonably common that your body tries to ovulate and fails and retries again later. I'd keep going with the tests and DTD anyway. Good luck!

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has tried any teas? Heard raspberry leaf is good for fertility?

Just want to try anything at this point. I know 4th try isn't a lot but I just want to make sure I've done everything I can!

@LK2610 hmm that is odd. I wonder if you maybe missed the surge between CD14 + 15? I'd say it's a relatively long time between testing. I was testing 3 or 4 times a day around ovulation and after my peak my LH dropped drastically.

As long as you dtd anyway and maybe keep testing for a few days incase you do ovulate later this month

@emmatcc1 this is also my first cycle since my miscarriage. I've ovulated a lot later than I normally do. So wondering if that's affected it. X

@Chaz693 I’m having a bit of a slow rise but judging from my cervix I’m 2 dpo. This is my first cycle after mc and apparently chances of conceiving again are higher the first three months. I don’t know how much of that is true though.

I have no idea what’s going on with me this cycle. I was due to ovulate day 14/15 but haven’t seemed to have had a surge. My cycles are like clockwork - always 28-30 days. I’ve definitely had all the normal ovulation symptoms for the last 2 days, I’ll just have to trust the universe that it happened 🤷‍♀️ I might try the clear blue tests next cycle if this one isn’t successful. I’ve never scored higher than a 0.6 on these tests tho 🤔

Me too! X

I’m 1 or 2 dpo today finally.

Got a nice high reading on my opk this morning so ovulation should happen tomorrow. Putting it out into the universe that this will be the one as I'm running out of opks and would be nice to not have to stock up next month 🤣

Thank you! And thanks to @CadoAvo and @LK2610 as well. Nice to have a few cycle buddies as I feel this time the TWW is going to be torturous!

Me! Ovulation is due on Tuesday so doing all we can to give it the best chance 🤞🏼

@LK2610 we can all go nuts together!

I'm about to start af. Annoyingly means I'll ovulate when I'm away for 5 days 😭 just guess we'll have to dtd before and after and pray.

Me 👋 I think there are a few of us in this group who’ll be on the TWW at the same time 🥰

@YaWeeFurryBastard i got my peak this evening! And yes once you get your peak you are generally going to ovulate next 24-48 hours. So next three days are definitely worth DTD! Nice to know I have a TWW friend!

who else is ovulating around now? I’m already counting down the days before I can test 😂

Yes keep going as peak means you should ovulate in the next day or 2! Today and tomorrow is your prime chance ☺️

We’re using SMEP and it says to dtd three days in a row when you get your peak and then a day off, then another day after that. It seems excessive, unless I’ve not understood it correctly. So going on that logic, you should keep going for another few days @YaWeeFurryBastard

Got my peak this morning and I’m kind of frustrated as we were visiting family yesterday and Friday so didn’t manage to have sex. Hopefully we’re still in with a chance this month ☹️. Should we keep going anyway 😂 or is it too late now do you think?

Joining from Feb thread, AF yesterday so cycle day 2 , must read through this thread, best of luck to everyone....

I'm using the clearblue digital ones too, the advanced ones, figured I'd splash out for my first time using opks but might switch to cheaper ones once this box is done.

I'm a little surprised I already got a flashing smiley today (CD8), could mean I ovulate earlier in my cycle than I'd assumed - which means last cycle I did not DTD at an optimal time AT ALL😂

With regards to OPK I always use the clearblue digital. It’s expensive no doubt, but 99% accurate with detecting the LH surge so it does stop the questioning if you got the right time etc!

Part of me wonders if it’s worth relying on them but then I don’t want to just rely on the FLO app either as that’s just an algorithm at the end of the day. Good luck for your peak later today i’m sure it’ll arrive, test or no test @Chaz693 ☺️
