Anyone due to ovulate around Valentine's Day?

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?

@piechipsgravy I'm all about the TMI 😂

From my experience, the "remnants" are a lot more watery than EWCM. and a good way to know the difference is if you're in the bath, EWCM will float 🥴

Finally got a little EWCM today!

Woohoo!

This is a very TMI question but I've not been on hormonal contraception for years so we've only just started non-withdrawal sex and all the ... aftermath that comes with it. I THINK I have ewcm but after sex, how long afterwards would you expect to see 'remnants'?

Hello
May i join?
TTC number 2. Had a miscarriage last summer and nada since.
Would be nice to have some company and love following peoples journeys 😊
awaiting a positive opk!!

AnnieStar12 · 13/02/2024 08:59

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

piechipsgravy · 13/02/2024 08:45

I had a stronger OPK this morning so think I'll peak today. NC is still predicting ovulation tomorrow now so will see how my temps look... had a massive drop this morning to 36.02 (must have been freezing in our bedroom!)
How's everyone doing today?

JadeA1993 · 12/02/2024 16:01

@overthinkersanonnymus yes first baby, age 30. That’s really positive though that you’re ovulating ! I find the whole process stressful and then people say relax but how can I relax 😅

@piechipsgravy looks very close to peak to me !

piechipsgravy · 12/02/2024 15:44

Just took two OPKs- think I'm probably quite close to LH surge so will test again in the morning or later this evening. How's everyone doing? Any Valentine's plans?

@piechipsgravy welcome!

Forgot to add, I'm 29 and this is cycle 1/2 (we sort of tried last month but only 1 unprotected sex and think we missed ovulation) of trying for 1st baby.

piechipsgravy · 12/02/2024 10:56

Can I join? I'm due to ovulate on 15th- I'm starting OPKs today and I also do BBT every day. Think we're going to try and DTD every day this week if possible!

@JadeA1993 yes baby number one for me. How about you?

I've never heard of at home sperm tests! I'll have a look. I had my bloods done a few months ago and they showed that I'm definitely ovulating. Whether my eggs are any good is another story....

JadeA1993 · 11/02/2024 19:46

@overthinkersanonnymus so maybe just a late ovulation this month 🤞🏻you could always do at home sperm test with tests you can order online to put your mind at ease. Is it baby #1?

Hi girls, I've been trying on and off for around 18 months. We're going to go for tests in the summer (if we don't have any luck before then).

I usually have EWCM about 4-5 days before ovulation too but no sign of anything yet!

JadeA1993 · 11/02/2024 19:34

I’m cd9 ttc#1 on third month trying now. I do find I tend to get ewcm 4-5 days before. But ovulation can vary from cd13-17. Have you been trying long?

Littleladybugs · 11/02/2024 15:50

Yes ! I’m cycle 28 ttc #3 (#1 took 5.5 years and #2 took 15 months) really hoping this will be my turn this month !

AnnieStar12 · 11/02/2024 15:50

Yes! I’m on CD 11 expecting ovulation around the 14th too. We’re planning to start DTD from tonight. My cycles are regular so I should start to see a surge Monday or Tuesday.

This is our cycle #12 of TTC our second child together. We’ve had 1 CP and 1 MMC in that time but otherwise nothing despite timing & tracking every cycle. How many cycles have you been trying?

If this month doesn’t work for us then we’re going to try IVF so we’re crossing our fingers this is our lucky month!
