Hey, so my predicted ovulation day was Saturday, according to the many apps I use and my ovulation tests 🤣

this is my second cycle TTC baby number 3. Would love to chat to others who are in the TWW too to help pass this painful time!

Ahhh oh my gosh! Congratulations I’m so excited for you!!
im 11 DPO today and negative for me 😞 thought I saw a flight faint positive but it’s probably the indent line. Will test again tomorrow… this gives me hope!!

I had one on 9 dpo which got my hopes up and it was also my first time to see it so I felt deflated on 10 dpo. It happened the cycle post CP. Then I got one on 4 dpo next cycle and I knew that I would not be fooled again. I totally get you!

@LucyCL - thanks! I had a few twinges a few days ago but knew that would be too early for implantation. But this period like feeling at 8DPO has got me wondering…

Yes also had that dip this morning! Hoping it’s an implantation dip but that’s quite unreliable as a sign apparently.

Ah well… at least if it hasn’t happened this month I’ll know for next time to ignore these “signs”!

I have done some research on why we have the BBT dip between 6 dpo and 10 dpo. You are right about it not being reliable because it could be caused by a smaller estrogen surge during the mid luteal phase. Implantation dip is a decrease in BBT by at least 0.3 degrees and that is why I asked if anyone had a small/big BBT dip. Some people don't get it. I am really curious about the data and the statistics. 😂
I wish you will get a BFP soon!

AF didn’t arrive this morning. I think I’m 13/14 dpo today and I got a faint positive on a Clear Blue, Frer and Easy @ Home tests. Eeek! I’m very shocked as I had an obvious negative on a Frer at 10dpo and no major symptoms. I was sure I was out for this cycle. I hope this baby sticks.

I found it very hard to see everyone else getting their positives so early on but try and hold out for that later positive.

I hope you all get your BFP soon! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you all. Thanks for all the support over this two week wait ❤️

Does anyone have a small BBT dip on 8 dpo? Or between 6 dpo and 9 dpo? Huge BBT dip?

Congratulations to those with BFPs! Lovely news and fingers crossed for happy healthy pregnancies and babies.

8DPO today I think, and I’ve had some light cramping the last couple of days. Very light - like a very low and very central kinda ache, a bit like a period. But don’t know if I just have general achy muscles in my back from being sat at my desk too much and if that’s linked to what I’m feeling in my front too! Anyone else experienced implantation cramps? It’s weird how I don’t remember what happened in my previous pregnancies.

I had mild cramps between 2 dpo and 5 dpo then on 7 dpo I had a twinge on my right side of uterus. I wouldn't have noticed it if I was not paying attention. It could be caused by the progesterone. I don't really know.

Morning everyone, congrats to those getting BFPs! I'm about 7DPO just now and getting a lot of CM (kind of milky), anyone know if this could be promising? Normally my CM drops off a cliff after ovulation🤔

I had a lot of milky CM during between 5-10 dpo this cycle. Hopefully it’s a good sign for you too ☺️

BFN for me again this morning 😓

Anonymous130197 · 06/08/2024 21:16

Aw congrats to all these wonderful BFPs 🥹💗

And good luck to you testers!!

I'm now 6 DPO and probably making symptoms up! I'm sweaty constantly (never usually!), have a weird taste on and off and occasional light period cramps. Who knows!!

MeggggsssTTC · 06/08/2024 20:20

Congrats @Bellebg I’m so happy for you!

@Amy341 @LucyCL good luck tomorrow 😃 I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!

My AF is due anywhere between tomorrow and Thursday. I should be 13DPO tomorrow and I’m going to test unless AF makes an appearance in the morning.

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow, I hope you all get that BFP. Sending baby dust to you all too ✨

LucyCL · 06/08/2024 15:06

It is only 7 dpo. I have been feeling bloated and gassy. Hot flashes have returned again since last night and I am really feeling hot. The fan is currently turned on to cool myself down. CBT rose again this morning. It is all caused by the increase in progesterone in the luteal phase, of course. AF is due this Sunday. Baby dust to all of us who are still waiting!

Amy341 · 06/08/2024 11:26

Bellebg · 06/08/2024 07:43

No one is ever going to wait that long are they! The nausea sounds like a really positive sign🤞🏼🤞🏼

I’m still so confused at what dpo I am now (anywhere from 8-15) but I got a bfp this morning!!! I’m in such shock and so nervous after my miscarriage earlier this year but mainly shock!! Eeek.

Good luck to everyone testing this morning. I thought I was out so you’re definitely not out until you’re out! ✨

Ahhhh oh my gosh congratulations that’s fantastic news 🥰 especially when you thought you were out I bet that was a lovely surprise!

im 10DPO today. BFN again but I’ve got some more sensitive first response ones coming today so shall test tomorrow morning. Flying to Ireland early tomorrow morning it would be the loveliest news ever before our little family get away!🤞🏻

I’m so in my head… I caught with my son at 25YO on our first cycle. Second son was a lovely suprise at 27YO. Now I’m 30 and convinced I’ve got secondary infertility because it hasn’t happened in two cycles! I’m literally crazy aren’t I 🤪🤪

Thank you so much @Anon2822. I tracked ovulation - but did it on two apps which gave ovulation dates over a week apart which is odd. The second app moved a week later once we’d already tried this month so not sure whether it’s accurate or not.

🤞🏼 for you x

Ah that’s amazing! Congratulations! Did you track your ovulation or just have regular sex? I’ve tested negative this morning and have a sneaky feeling AF is brewing as I have a lot of cramping x

Amy341 · 05/08/2024 19:42

Thanks this was so helpful! I looked at the percentages and it really does look like the best bet is to start from 10DPO doesn’t it! (Well, really from the day of your missed period but let’s be real - I’m never going to be able to wait that long!)

nausea continues… took a bite of my chicken today and nearly threw up! I had Covid last week though so it’s hard to tell what’s lingering from that or what’s pregnant related. I did really feel I was over the Covid though…

🤞🏻 for everyone testing tomorrow. SO hoping at least one of us gets a BFP!! X

Sorry that you’re feeling like that @Amy341 I really do think you’re still in it at this point. 10 dpo onwards is most common for bfp - if you have a google there are a few websites that tell you % of bfps per dpo if you’re interested.

I do feel you though, it’s so deflating. I just had another bfn on 14 dpo so it’s definitely over for me this month but can’t stop testing regardless.

Sending hugs x

@BlueberryPoppy123
Ah yeah, I recon your body is just adjusting to having the coil removed, even without hormones it’ll probably take a few cycles. You never know though, you might have caught it in time on CD24 🤞🏼

Yeah so your bbt needs to rise at least half a degree for 3 or more days to confirm ovulation. Then it should stay elevated throughout your LP until a day or so before AF, when it’ll drop down to pre ovulation levels again. If you’re pregnant, it should stay elevated.

BlueberryPoppy123 · 05/08/2024 13:37

MrsG2022 · 05/08/2024 13:03

Looking at your chart I’d say you either haven’t ovulated yet this cycle, or you ovulated around CD24, although the low LH is confusing. How long are your cycles normally?

Wait to see if your temp rises again tomorrow - sometimes there can be a bbt dip around 2-5DPO. If it does rise again tomorrow I’d say CD24 was ovulation, which would make you 4DPO today.

@MrsG2022 I had been having consistent 30/31 day cycles with the coil (hormone free). Then since it's removal I had a 35 day, 33 day and now this cycle I'm on CD 28. So I think CD 24 would line up better with those sorts of cycles than the original suggested peak day. Wish I'd kept testing 3 times a day. Last month my peak only showed on 1 test so I know they can easily be missed. Annoyed with myself now. Not that I could have changed anything as husband was away anyway.

Will bare those sorts of things in mind next cycle. So gutted I keep messing up.

Do you know what happens with bbt if you are pregnant am I right that it stays relatively high?

But long but grateful if someone reads and replies :)
Hi ladies does anyone have any advice for me. Currently on CD28 of cycle 3. I had a really short 4day AF. Started opks straight after in my fertile window testing 2-5 times a day. Still I never caught my peak this month. The premom app suggested I already peaked kept taking opks for nearly a week but they were so low I stopped. I should be 8dpo today based on that. Logged my bbt this morning and it's changed my dpo's. 😫 Can't work out why. My fertile window was now when my husband was away at the end of July.

Was waiting until 12dpo to POAS so this Friday. I think I'll still do that test. Would you do that? Or wait until 12dpo of new dates?

Such a long cycle I'm super sad. Attached my graph so you can see my ups and downs
