TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

Ah so sorry to hear that. Sending you all the hope that next month is your month (or AF doesn't arrive!).

I'm 8dpo, another BFN! I've never tested every day before not sure what's changed. I think it's because it's been so many cycles and we're doing allll the things to make it happen I feel like it has to be us at some point

@Splishsplashsplosh93 everything crossed for you! You're making me want an oura ring!

Big temp drop for me this morning and AF due tomorrow so I'm out.

Hopefully some BFPs for everyone else! 🤞🏻

I'm using natural cycles as my temps sync automatically with my fitness ring. I was terrible with forgetting thermometer before then and have short cycles between 24-28 days so really needed to pinpoint ovulation.

It’s worked for me today- it’s picked up my peak LH test from this morning and changed ovulation to tomorrow now! 😆 I guess I’m about to enter the TTW in a day or two 🤞🏼feels like it’s been a loooong wait, ovulating late in your cycle is not fun!

Thank you, I had a look at that earlier but it just shows me a ‘range’ for the day; so for example today it’s 55-121, instead of showing me just an acreage for RHR. I’m assuming it’s showing me the full range from sleeping to being active. Can’t figure out how to just see the RHR 🤦🏻‍♀️

RHR is resting heart rate. That's so funny premom is doing that. Do you think perhaps if you ovulate past a certain date it's just like 'nope'?! Mine was predicting ovulation for CD15 for ages and ignoring my negative OPKs, but once input a positive on CD17 it switched to CD18 for ovulation. Saying that, when we were TTC #1 I ovulated CD31 (🙄), and it put that as my ovulation day in line with my OPKs and BBT. Maybe once you get your temp rise it will sort itself out? In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter as you know when you ovulated, but it's nice to have a nice neat chart isn't it!

Thanks so much :) does your apple watch give you an RHR chart? I can only seem to find today's RHR, or do you have to check it daily and chart it? Ah possibly! Is this your first month checking RHR? I charted BBT when TTC our son, which was very reliable (despite my haywire cycles). I was planning on taking a relaxed approach this time, but if I can easily see my RHR on my Apple Watch I may as well check it 😂

I’m not sure what RHR is sorry but I do track my BBT on natural cycles and the Premom app and I have been doing OPK’s.

In terms of Premom getting your ovulation date wrong it’s done the same to me- I have only just got my peak this morning (and static smiley on clear blue OPK) and I’m CD21- but Premom refuses to believe this and has kept my ovulation date as last week at CD16 😂 natural cycles seems to be better at updating depending on your LH tests and BBT!

@LucyCL how do you use heart rate to track ovulation? I might have to look into this as that's something my Apple Watch does track, but not BBT because it's an older model 😅

@LucyCL I've only ever used ovulation sticks here too. My BBT & heart rate can be all over the place due to autoimmune issues, I've found ovulation sticks usually fairly accurate.

@LucyCL I only use ovulation tests to check and has been successful for me last 2 pregnancies.
I'd struggle to rely on heart rate as it can vary so much. I think temping wouldn't work for me as I work shifts and also get up to a toddler during the night.

Can I join? Had a MMC last cycle, finally ovulated and will be 1DPO tomorrow so starting the 2WW. Managed to BD day before ovulation and day of so hopefully it's enough.

Ah @Splishsplashsplosh93 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Which app are you using? I've been using natural cycles since Jan but the first month I've used to to plan pregnancy rather than prevent!

I had another big temp increase this morning at 6DPO so got overexcited and took a test (I know, too early!). BFN of course

How are you?

@Kiwiburgh thanks! This is our first cycle TTC2, but if it takes a while it would be miserable to not be able to have a glass of wine here and there ☺️

@DaisyEM no harm in a glass of wine, Especially at 5dpo when it hasn't implanted yet :)
Tbh even an occasional drink after a positive test is fine. Just no binging sessions 😆

@LucyCL not much going on here! I’m 5DPO so a way to go yet. I’ve had a tough couple of days with DS as he’s poorly and really struggling, and very clingy to me as a result, so I’ve just poured myself a glass of wine. But now I’m wondering if that’s ok?! Does anyone stop drinking for the TWW? I hardly drink at all, at the most 2-3 glasses of wine a week. When we were TTC #1 I stopped drinking completely. I feel like the odd drink is ok until you get a positive? I don’t know if you share any kind of blood supply until at least implantation?!
