TTC June 2024 ✨♥️

So sorry to hear you've both had a rough time @Carportforme and @Simplespell27 🩷 sending you lots of love and luck for this cycle.

Hi @LeleMR , my LH has been rising since yesterday too and was almost at its peak this morning so we're probably in a similar boat 😊 when my LH starts rising I test throughout the day personally, but I find it's always darkest first thing, probably because I'm less hydrated. You could peak at any point throughout the day and it comes and goes quite quickly.

@Simplespell27 sorry to hear that. Sending baby dust your way and hope you have a positive cycle this time round x

Hi all, joining you for the first time on here. First time TTC ended early in a chemical last month but my LH seems to be rising since yesterday, so I am hopeful that my cycle is returning to normal.

Nice to have found people to share this journey with, wishing you all the best!

Question: When would you say is the best time in the day to test for an LH surge? Thanks

Hello all. I'm coming over from the March thread, had a MC at just over 5 weeks and thought as it was so short I could just keep trying and get straight back on the horse. Never thought it would take 5 weeks for my HCG levels to finally return to normal and weeks of bleeding. I had a period last month but the bleeding went on for 12 days and I didn't pick up a positive on OPK, I think cycle predictions on the Flo app are really out of whack because cycle has been so haywire since. Today is cycle day 2 and I have a better feeling about this one

I would love to join you ladies, wish I didnt have to. Just on the end of bleeding from a chemical, sadly. Second loss so will be starting low dosexaspirin this time. Good luck everyone.

So interesting isn’t it! Never thought of it before but was just looking at my health app and noticed the pattern. Then of course I googled it and there were quite a few threads about it.

Eek similar DPO! So nice to have people to talk about this stuff with and not feel like you’re going crazy 🙃 x

I’ve also been looking at this and my heart rate also increased when I hit my LH peak and has been slightly elevated each day since. I’m 3DPO today. X

Famous last words, I’ll no doubt end up packing them in my handbag and doing them 😂. I did that with the OPK’s as I didn’t want to miss the peak 😅.
Yeah should be 8/9dpo on Thursday.
With DD I got my first vvvvfl at 10dpo, but that was very diluted afternoon sample.

Have you (or anyone) ever checked out resting heart rate in correlation with ovulation? I’ve just looked at my stats from my Apple Watch and it started rising with the same pattern as my BBT! Could be a coincidence but it’s interesting

I’d be taking the tests to work with me 😂 but good that you’re holding off. Would that make you 8/9dpo?

the waiting game is a killer! Keep me updated if you feel comfortable ❤️

I've just been getting on with the day. Ovulation was only based on CM no tests but fitted in with an app I have that estimated ovulation. But then about 2 weeks after that I had the same type CM again. So no idea what's going on. I'm just going to wait now until next Friday to test again if AF doesn't arrive. I've got no pregnancy symptoms though so think it's probably a later ovulation.
Thanks for checking in x

Hi ladies just jumping on. TTC baby number 2. Cycle 2. AF due today and hasn't arrived yet so I'm feeling hopeful but also anxious waiting for it to arrive! If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I will buy a test on my way home from work. I feel like the longer you wait to test, the more it keeps the hope alive? Don't want to see BFN. No real symptoms apart from maybe my boobs feel fuller and a bit sensitive but that could be in my head!

Busy is good during this horrendous wait! Ahhh it’s shit isn’t it. But as soon as you see that BFP and the scans it’s worth all the torment 😊.

I’m a serial early tester 🤦🏻‍♀️. I only work part time (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), which will be a good distraction as I’m in the office so no temptation, then probably test Thursday

Thank you! It’s just a waiting game!

I’m super super busy this week so hopefully that’ll take my mind off things but I just can’t imagine every being pregnant 😩 this is only my second cycle so I can’t really complain but did not think it would be this emotionally draining! It’s literally all I think about!

yesss, take the later dpo so you don’t test too soon! Fingers crossed for both of us! When do you think you’ll test?

Yeah good idea. Sounds like the CP has definitely done a number on your cycle 😔. Fingers crossed you get answers soon.

Yeah I’m taking the DPO with a pinch of salt within the apps. I think I’m more likely to be 4dpo going off my temps, but time will tell. I’m just not very patient 😂

No haven’t tried a different brand! I think my body is just out of whack since the CP and I have only just ovulated! Will be taking a clearblue ultra early digital in the AM though just to cross it off the list.

if AF doesn’t arrive, I’ll take another test next next next week! 🤞

i think flo starts counting DPO 2 days after ovulation for some reason, might because an egg can be released between 12-48 hours after an OPK.

I am right behind you on 3dpo (not really sure what positive Opk to go by so going by the first one!)

Oh my days what’s going on with these opk’s 😅. Have you tried a different brand to double check? Saying that how different could they be. Did you do a pregnancy test?

My OPK’s are a lot lighter. My BBT has stayed high and I’m having a lot of lotion like cm. Something I don’t usually have so I’m hoping it’s a good indication that I actually ovulated 🤞🏻.

I haven’t done a pregnancy test yet, I’m only 4dpo, max 5dpo (one app says 4 and the other 5 🙄)

How are you getting on today? Maybe wait a few more days and test again if AF hasn’t arrive! You may have ovulated later than you thought! X

ahh! How are your tests now? Have you taken a pregnancy test?

mine look to be going down but still all over the place. Have been obsessed with taking them 😂 not even sure which peak to go by now?

I did read that multiple surges mean multiple eggs which could mean twins 🙈🙈🙈

im getting af-like symptoms but not sure if it’s the hormones sorting my body out or if AF is coming!

Also hope you don't mind me joining. TTC baby no 2 (he's 8mo now), had a recent MMC. I suffer with endometriosis and have a low AMH level so we're eager to have another baby soon.

Had to take medication to manage it. My dr said we can TTC again as soon as possible so I'm just waiting for this to pass before we try again.

Has anyone else had medical management of an MMC and how long did you wait before trying again?

Hi all hope you don’t mind me jumping on. TTC #1 and now onto our second cycle. AF arrived yesterday, so back to the start again for June!

@LucyCL thank you! How long are you ttc? I started using natural cycles to track BBT since sept 2023 when I came off the pill. So technically 9 months ago but didn't start properly TTC until Jan/Feb. I also use the conception plus fertility lube. Tried SMEP method last cycle but this cycle dtd every 2nd day once period ended. I will not be symptom spotting this cycle as it makes seeing BFN harder when you convince yourself.
@hopeful4us yes once BBT is elevated 3 days in a row it's confirmed ovulation!

Fx for everyone this cycle ❤️

Hello! Have been away from this thread for a week because DH had to rush to see his mother in hospital after she had a medical emergency. She's in another country and it was a bit touch-and-go for a couple of days, but she's getting better now and he's been able to come back home.

The plan is just to DTD every other day for the whole month. I have PCOS and mildly irregular cycles anyway, plus the thought of testing makes me feel a little stressed out so I think we'll just try and keep it low key and see what happens. Still cycle #1 for us and new to everything.

Wishing everyone all the best of luck 💕

Think I’m in a similar position to @Irish812 and @LucyCL

My BBT are elevated for the 3rd day in a row so I’m assuming I ovulated on the 29/30th. We DTD on 25th & 28th so hopefully within the fertile window.

I know the TWW is torturous for so many but I’m really excited that I have something to aim for (rather than just waiting for AF and not knowing when she must return).

Let me know when you test and I’ll keep you updated!
