Hi!

Just hoping for some company as I start again on CD1 today!

I'm ttc baby 2, this is my second cycle trying! My daughter took just under 12 months to conceive so I'm hopeful I can get pregnant a bit quicker this time, especially as my daughter is already 4.

This month I'm taking proceive max, high dose Omega 3, and CoQ-10 and hoping to achieve 10,000 a day to help with obsessing less 😂

Promised myself this cycle I will. Not. Test. Early 🫣

Last cycle was 25 day cycle, I'm usually between 25 and 28 days! Tracking BBT and using OPKs ☺️

@amichel congrats! It's so reassuring to see the words isn't it. I'm using easy at home cheapies. I feel guilt free testing constantly with such cheapie tests and thankfully I've never had an evap or anything with them. 10DPO today and still negative x

@HelloItsMeAgainHello I'll be doing the same. What tests are you using?x

Happibara · 01/10/2024 10:07

Yay, I can see it too! Congratulations 🎉

amichel · 01/10/2024 09:38

@HelloItsMeAgainHello Fingers crossed we get a nice bfp tomorrow!🤞🏼💓

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 01/10/2024 09:04

@amichel yeah I normally test every morning from 9DPO until AF shows up. I'm the same it helps me just prepare x

amichel · 01/10/2024 08:59

@Henski Thank you, I'll do another one in the morning.

@HelloItsMeAgainHello Let's see what tomorrow brings🤞🏼 That's my way of thinking! I like to prepare myself for AFs arrival. Will you be testing again tomorrow?x

10 DPO this morning..
A very faint line within 30 seconds on a clear blue. I'll be testing every day to see if the line gets darker🤞🏼 I made the mistake of getting excited last cycle and it was a CP.
I can see the line in person but it doesn't show well on the camera x

Can definitely see the line even in the photo! Tested today at 9DPO but a negative but it's still very early. I rather test early though otherwise my thoughts are just consumed by not testing 😅

Henski · 01/10/2024 08:55

@amichel I can see it! Tentatively congrats 🤞🏼

What day was the big dip, Monday ? And did you miss a day looks like Wednesday ?

Happibara · 01/10/2024 07:58

Hello Ladies, I see we're all moving into the dreaded TWW territory. Lots of patience to all of you!

For us the wait is more for the semen analysis results than anything else... because of the test we only did once in the fertile window, so not much hope there. CD 19; I'm strongly telling myself not to symptom spot as there's no point 😅

However, I have a question that you may be able to help with, especially @Henski , since I know you track BBT with Ovusense:

I've only started it this month, and I can't reconcile the data from the app and OPKs: I had a LH surge on Monday 23rd so without the BBT I'd assume I ovulated on the 24th. But the app churned the data and insists ovulation happened on the 26th! is that something that happens to you? and if yes, what do you do? assume that the fertile window goes on a bit longer than you'd anticipate from the OPKs?

Advice welcome! thank you 😄

@Henski It's hard work isn't it😅 At least that gives you a good chance!
I used my last easy@home test today. If there's still an increase in CM I'll buy a test for Thursday as I should be around 12DPO then. I've got 3 tracking apps and AF is ranging from 5th-10th as my cycle length can vary from 24-28 days. If I use a 5 day early test then something should show on Thursday🤞🏼x

Henski · 30/09/2024 12:10

@amichel we stick to every other day routine as it’s easier since ovulation occurs whenever it feels like! So Friday and Sunday and squeeze in today. I’m the same dry up after ovulation so that does sound promising for you! Will you test again tomorrow morning ?
@HelloItsMeAgainHello what symptoms do you have? I can never tell the difference. Good luck for tomorrow morning 🤞🏼

Edited

Thank you! I've had some cramping but only on the one side which also happened the month I conceived my ds. And much more cervical mucus. I actually thought I started my period early 😂 so fingers crossed for tomorrow x

laalaaleelee · 30/09/2024 12:18

Hi all, joining for this month. Had positive OPK yesterday, DTD for first time this cycle, was just too tired before then! We'll probs try again tonight. Fingers crossed! We'll be away when AF is due and it's time to test so we'll either have some nice news to celebrate or if not can enjoy a few wines!!

HelloItsMeAgainHello · 30/09/2024 11:55

I can't stop symptom spotting at the moment. I'm only 8DPO but will probably start testing tomorrow 😅

amichel · 30/09/2024 10:53

@Henski That sounds promising! Have you been able to DTD over the last few days?
I did a HCG test today and it was negative. Shortly after I had an increase in creamy lotion like CM. This was an obvious sign for me that I conceived last cycle as I usually dry up after ovulation. I'm hoping this is a sign😅 I'm 9dpo so could still be too early or AF will be here at the end of the week🥴x

Henski · 30/09/2024 08:36

Hi Ladies, How’s everyone doing?
positive opk yesterday and not even a hint of a line today and temp took a massive drop so I think this is it 🤞🏼

@amichel will you be testing soon or wait for first day of missed period?

CD1 - who's with me
amichel · 27/09/2024 21:04

@sellingupslow Yeah 6DPO today. It's my daughter's birthday on Sunday and we've got a full weekend planned, hopefully that'll distract me from symptom spotting😅
It sounds like you've got a good chance! Dtd within the 5 days before ovulation is recommended isn't it?

@Henski I hope this is the lead up to your positive OPK!🤞🏼

Bb542 · 27/09/2024 18:56

sellingupslow · 27/09/2024 17:57

@Henski looks positive! Are you away with your partner? Will you be able to dtd?

I don't think we'll be successful this month. I got a positive opk on Wednesday - we dtd on Wednesday (and Tuesday and Monday and Sunday) but DH wasn't able to last night (I think the pressure was to much) so we haven't since Wednesday and I think I ovulated yesterday (or very possibly today).

You're definitely not out. We dtd 2-3 days before I ovulated and it worked ❤️ fingers crossed for you x

Henski · 27/09/2024 18:00

Yep he’s with me, it’s hard when you don’t know when you ovulate and have to keep DTD, I do feel for our partners!
When I got my bfp we only did it the one time O-2 day so you never know still in with a chance.
