My ovulation day is predicted the 14th, but not sign of EWCM just yet so may be a few days later.

Anyone want some company this cycle?

I'm officially 1dpo today so we'll see if no ewcm has made a difference. Im 18 months in to ttc now so im sure it won't make any difference whatsoever, but im treating this month like an experiment 😂

Are we all in to the TWW now, or are some of you still waiting for ovulation?

My LH has a very slight rise this morning so think my surge will start later today. Will test again at lunchtime.

Hey,

I am going to join you all for the dreaded TWW. My ovulation was confirmed by BBT and OPK,

We have been trying for 2 years and the next cycle we start Letrozole but hoping it happens this month.

Good luck everyone ✨

@overthinkersanonnymus if you’re feeling ovulation pain and are expecting ovulation around now then you’re most likely ovulating! I don’t know about others, but I don’t necessarily notice the ewcm every month. In fact I reckon most months I don’t notice it at all.

overthinkersanonnymus · 16/02/2024 21:12

I have really bad ovulation pain this evening, but still not had any ewcm.

Very strange!

@AnnieStar12 you were so right about the peak. I think it’s fair to say this morning and today are my peak!
@overthinkersanonnymus @piechipsgravy im sorry it’s all been confusing. Sometimes tracking just stresses me out so much. We want to know what our bodies are up to and it’s all a mystery despite our best efforts. When I conceived before my miscarriage in the summer I was not trying that month. Did not have sex in what I thought was my fertile window. So you never know.
@Rosyposy26 good luck 🤞

Here are my tests from today. Managed to pin down my husband last night and will hopefully do the same tonight. Hard when it has been a busy working week but he really doesn’t mind 😬😬

@overthinkersanonnymus I'm also not sure what's happening with my ovulation this month! LH tests were all lining up with a Wednesday ovulation but my temps aren't what I'd expect to see if I'd ovulated... I've also woken up between 3-4am 3 nights in a row and yesterday woke up in a massive hot sweat- had to strip off and get on top of the covers but then temp had risen 0.02 this morning? So I have no idea what's going on with my cycle. Think I might need to step away from the tracking a bit as it's causing a lot of anxiety.

Rosyposy26 · 16/02/2024 09:37

now in tww. Had mc at beginning of the month. Was told can try straight away and so I tracked ovulation this time. Had negative test 5 days after mc I was 5+5 but dates should have been 8 weeks but didn’t progress well.

had some cramping last couple of days but trying not to symptom spot. Sending lots of luck to you.

So after starting this thread thinking I'd be ovulating on Tuesday, here I am on Friday with no sign of it!!

It could be late but I have had a few cycles in the past when I haven't ovulated at all.

Hopefully this is a lucky thread for the rest of you and I'm looking forward to seeing some line eye tests in the next two weeks!

@Shortcake06 I have used this app for a while and really like it - it will say high once over 0.8. But you can edit it if you find your peaks are low. My levels tend to rise quite fast so I reckon if you test again late tonight or first thing tomorrow it'll be high as your levels are clearly rising so you're defo surging right now! I find the test line goes visibly darker than the control when I'm at my peak.

@piechipsgravy it's always more important to get it in earlier so the sperm is ready and waiting!

@BussiBop23 I'm also on cycle 12 and had a MMC in Nov/Dec last year so we're at a similar stage. Good luck!

piechipsgravy · 15/02/2024 21:54

@Shortcake06 I'd definitely say that's positive too! I feel like the Premom numbers aren't super scientific- I'm trying just to use it more to see and compare the strips rather than relying on the numerical value.

Shortcake06 · 15/02/2024 21:34

@piechipsgravy that sounds like you definitely covered most of the right days! Sperm can live for several days so fingers crossed they were waiting and ready.
@BussiBop23 that sounds like you have it covered! Ovulation testing is strangely satisfying when you get that blazing positive!

im a bit confused. It’s my first time using the premom app and when I put this evenings ovulation test in it’s saying it’s “low”. But honestly I feel this is positive!? Is the app reliable?

Hi! Can I join?

This is cycle #12 for us, trying to conceive our first after a miscarriage last year. Can see that some of you have also been trying for a while, so it would be good to have some company with those in a similar boat.

I got my peak today! First month ovulation testing, and it was weirdly exciting. We had sex today, yesterday, and the day before, hoping that's enough as my bf goes away tomorrow, so we won't be able to try again.

piechipsgravy · 15/02/2024 20:53

How's everyone got on this week?
DH hasn't felt well today so we haven't DTD, meaning we only managed Mon and Tues (suspected ovulation Wednesday). Really hope it was enough and we didn't miss it 😢

Shortcake06 · 15/02/2024 08:47

Good luck everyone I really hope it’s your months 🤞
My OPKs remain negative, now on day 16. Sigh ☹️

piechipsgravy · 15/02/2024 08:26

@AnnieStar12 yeah I had a peak on Tuesday however that doesn't necessarily mean I've ovulated! I think my CM has also changed to thicker/creamier so hopefully temps will continue to rise and then ovulation can be confirmed 🤞🏻

AnnieStar12 · 15/02/2024 08:23

@piechipsgravy you already had your peak on the OPK didn’t you, so surely that means you ovulated? is OPK more accurate than BBT?

@JadeA1993 glad the tests are now lining up!

piechipsgravy · 15/02/2024 07:24

So I was meant to ovulate yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night absolutely boiling but my BBT hasn't risen above baseline this morning so not sure what's happening 😢

JadeA1993 · 14/02/2024 15:28

@AnnieStar12 well if ordered another kit to make sure I had enough in and now the new test is flashing which is more accurate with strips. Good luck hopefully this is your month xx

Wictc · 14/02/2024 13:32

I have three different apps and they all say different days! Am on day 15 now so think I’ve ovulated. Can relax and have a glass of wine tonight without the sex pressure!!

AnnieStar12 · 14/02/2024 13:30

My OPK has come down now too so I must have peaked overnight. I guess that means today counts as ovulation day for a few of us on here!

@JadeA1993 that sounds annoying. I had similar a couple months ago but the other way round where the digital Clearblue just totally missed my ovulation but it was picked up on the easy strips. Personally I prefer the strips as you can see with your own eyes if and when the test line goes darker. But I guess nothing is perfect so getting on with regular DTD probably what I’d do too!

piechipsgravy · 14/02/2024 12:17

My OPK has dropped way back down so definitely peaked yesterday and hopefully confirm O today if my temp goes up tomorrow!

overthinkersanonnymus · 13/02/2024 23:26

Right we'll I'm dry as a bone again now 😂 I had a teeny tiny bit of ewcm this morning and nothing since

OP posts:
JadeA1993 · 13/02/2024 20:31

I’m having a very annoying OPK time. CB digital first day blank circle, second day flashing and third solid smiley. But easy@home test not peak at all 😩 I’ll just start DTD every other day I suppose

Shortcake06 · 13/02/2024 17:53

@piechipsgravy @AnnieStar12 these OPKs are looking good 👀 Valentine’s Day ovulation day is ideal 😂 and the ewcm is always a really clear sign for me too@overthinkersanonnymus !
My tests are being so annoying. I tracked before I had my daughter and before the miscarriage. I ALWAYS got a peak on day 16/17. And the past 2 months randomly the peak has been day 12. So I’ve been all prepared this month and it’s now day 14 and I’ve had no peak 🙄 still need to test today though so fingers crossed.

AnnieStar12 · 13/02/2024 17:31

I just got EWCM and did another LH test which has now gone high! So think I will peak either tonight or tomorrow morning and suspect ovulation will be tomorrow.

@overthinkersanonnymus sounds like were on same timings.

@piechipsgravy good luck with bath technique 😂
