Hey!

TTC our 2nd been putting it off for a while but this month I’m going to be actively trying and testing LH etc
reading other posts feels as though everyone is already in there TWW this Aug 😂 so looking for company, anyone whose still waiting for their ovulation week.

I only used BBT when falling pregnant with my first but haven’t being doing it as regularly as I did back then.
Ive been trying to take my temp the past couple of weeks and natural cycles predicting ovulation on Weds!
what’s everyone plan of attack? 😂 I’m going to use LH strips from tomorrow onwards and as soon as I get my peak start DTD! Very sceptical it’ll happen this month with it being the first official month of trying but we shall see!
Hoping for some company if anyone is at a similar stage in their cycle?

@Itonlytakesone i think you’re probably going the best way about it with being relaxed!
I’m only doing ovulation strips because I was using them with Natural cycles when I used it for contraception, I’m just in the habit now 😂

Itonlytakesone · 11/09/2024 10:59

I feel like I'm the only one not tracking on strips etc is it essential?🫣 I'm just being so relaxed about it all dh works away a lot and I'm only going to be trying when i see him so hoping they will all swim about and find the egg 🤣 also he has a heavy cold he told me he's not feeling 100% hope he's better when he gets home 🙈x

LucyLou0527 · 11/09/2024 08:34

Yeah possibly!

the line was even lighter today!!

im not going to to another test until tomorrow morning now.

LuckyDuck93 · 11/09/2024 08:13

@Mama09876 I think I’m just a teeny bit behind you this month, due Wednesday.
Everything is a bit quieter at home this month so hoping we can try and time things a bit better/not be too tired 😂

Thought I was close to a positive yesterday but my test is lighter today 🙁

I wonder if you missed the peak over night? Some time it can be quick?
but then I have had tests that look darker than lighter then had peak! Let us know what it’s like tomorrow 🤞🏻

Great to have lots more company this month in ovulation week!

You ladies are a bit ahead of me, I’ve been so busy this month so far I’ve forgot about when I’m due to ovulate! But I’m due Monday so I’m going to start the LH tests tomorrow the hopefully get a few DTD session in over the weekend! We only managed once last month so going to try more this month! (Very difficult with a toddler and work life is crazy busy at the moment! 🙈)

@LuckyDuck93 how you feeling this month? You were similar times as me?

@LucyLou0527 just did clear blue and not confirmed ovulation. Peak test was 12 noon today and I think ovulation occurs 10-12 hours after? So hard trying to time this accurately! You are a few days behind me in ovulation? I'm enjoying having others to chat to about it all!

aw nightmare!

I think you should deffo get confirmation tomorrow afternoon/evening at the latest!

Yeah my test was pretty dark today and I’ve been having shooting/crampy pains from both sides yesterday and today so I think my positive is coming soon!

I feel like I might have ovulated from both sides if that’s even possible? I don’t know if letrozole increases the chances lol

Hi @LuckyDuck93 perfect :) My fertile window should start on cycle day 14 and the app has predicted that I will ovulate on or around cycle day 18. I use the Flo app which is pretty correct but I will also use the clear blue OPKs. But pretty chill about all this seeing as it's my first cycle trying for baby #3.

pigw · 08/09/2024 17:11

Not yet, just been tracking through my phone. We do have sex most days though 😂. I think I'm due to ovulate Tuesday / Wednesday. Good luck to you

Hiya,

Joining as I am week away from my fertile window. On cycle day 8 of my 1st Cycle trying for baby #3. Wishing everyone the best! :)

I’m on day 7 so around the same time as you!
Ovulation not predicted until day 16/17 but I think I’m going to start testing around day 10 just to be safe!

LucyLou0527 · 08/09/2024 14:37

I would definitely do a digi, don’t want to miss peak!

Mirren22 · 08/09/2024 13:35

Just posting this am test, first high mark of this cycle 0.94 on day 14. Not sure whether to do a clear blue digital ovulation test now or wait until Premom app confirms LH peak?

I can’t see anything attached x

Hey guys,

Can I please join?

I’m on my first round of letrozole this cycle and judging by my LH tests, I’m just a day or two from ovulation!

Margo2023 · 05/09/2024 17:47

I am sorry to here that @Itonlytakesone onwards on your journey. It is nice to have some company on this thread. I think I will start pregnacare. I don't normally get any ovulation symptoms however maybe it is because I am more aware but the evening before ovulation last month (first time smiley face on clear blue) I had tender boobs.
