1DPO Any cycle buddies

Yeah I defo recommend, it’s not too expensive it’s about £60 for the sensor (always find discount code online too) and then you can buy monthly subscription or an annual one.

@Henski that is definitely something I may look into, to get that confirmation of ovulation and take away some of the unknown and the guesswork and wondering side of things on the run up!

@amichel the weekend definitely sounds a good sort of time for you to start testing based on your dates! Sometimes having a set date in mind to start testing takes away the urge and then caving 😅

My app says AF is due at the end of this week around Friday, however when i felt ovulation type pains and signs this month was a bit later than expected so if i go off that then AF should be due beginning of next week.

Hello? Is it okay for me to join.
im currently 4DPO TTC#1. I had a miscarriage back in December so have just passed what would have been my due date.
I was hoping I would have gotten my BFP before now.
AF is due 14th and I fly to Paris on 13th for a girls trip to Disneyland for my friends 40th.
ill be testing the evening of 12th and early morning 13th (we fly at 8am) to see if I can get a positive before I go so I know to avoid the rides. If not, hopefully AF will arrive to give me the go ahead to enjoy the rides.

@Henski oh, that seems like a good way to get readings that you can actually trust; I might get one!

And from what I've read your temps look promising, fingers crossed 🤞

I purchased OvuSense (you wear the sensor every night I think you just need 4 hours uninterrupted sleep for a reading), for someone with PCOS my cycles are very irregular so I have found it very helpful! I know for those that have regular cycle it’s pretty good at guessing your fertile window. But for me I’m just glad it tells me I’ve ovulated so I don’t have to keep DTD every other day. This is my data so far, it’s been a long cycle.

@Henski not really, I think my sleep pattern prevents getting usable readings - temps are all over the place. Does it work for you for either ovulation tracking, or in the TWW? It's great to have some insight and something measurable data to obsess over!

As a substitute to bbt, I'm tracking the resting heart rate, and using that to scry whether we've been successful 😄 My first pregnancy was completely and very early obvious on the rhr charts, and sadly now I haven't seen anything similar in all the unsuccessful cycles TTC #2... Fingers crossed for a clear spike pattern this month.

I hope you'll have a good week, and good news at the end!

Does anyone else here track bbt? I think it’s one of the reasons I’m so patient with testing, I know if it stays high then I’m still in with a chance! Hoping for a busy week this week to get me through, my app is saying my periods are due Friday.
Hope everyone is keeping well 😊

@amichel Getting closer day by day! When do you think you will start testing? I will keep my
fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I’m 99% sure yesterdays lines were evaps, both tests from the same pack did it and my husband could see the line too and i could pick it up on camera but did sensibly say if it is anything it will end up being much clearer. I couldn’t tell if it had colour or was grey.

Used the same tests but from a different packet this morning (7dpo) still really early but nothing really showing at all, i can see where the line should be but thats about it!! Full on PMS signs going on yesterday and this morning

@Happibara I know the feeling - Its a real rollercoaster bouncing from I think this might be something to a definite no don’t get your hopes up within the space of a few seconds!

I caved and did a frer this morning, only 6DPO i think so very ridiculously early and it has the faintest line that came up within three minutes so feeling a little bit conflicted, pretty sure it’s just an evap or something as it feels way too early but have ordered a few more and will see over the next few days if things change

@Chloemay1616 you never know, as you say time will tell!
I'm always obsessing over symptoms in the TWW... swinging between hope and disappointment all the time. Trying not to this cycle but of course I'm still doing it! 3 DPO today so any signs from my body aren't even meaningful at this stage 😅

How is everyone feeling this morning?

I think I’m 5dpo today - started to get achey pains in my boobs and some cramping which is very normal for me on the run up to AF so have a feeling this might be a little sign that everything happened a bit late this month and I missed the right timings but only time will tell!

When I got my bfp last time I tested 11dpo, I’ll probably wait till similar time! I’m pretty patient my husband on the other hand is not.

@amichel yeah peeing on a stick 2-3 times a day was too much for weeks on end 😂 Hopefully you’re still in with a chance 🤞🏻when’s the earliest you will test?

@amichel no I haven’t tracked, as i was 4 weeks post last period with no surge & I gave up as it was just becoming annoying

@Happibara ahh thank you. I’m going to think I’ve ovulated until proven otherwise, so would be around 2 or 3dpo I think

@amichel it’s really nice! I might still be in a wedding bubble but right now it’s the best thing i’ve done 😁

it really is! 2 weeks seems such a long time waiting to find out, i think when its constantly on your mind too it doesn’t help but I can’t switch off ever x
