TTC FIRST BABY - New cycle, let's go girls !

Wouldn’t claim to be an expert but I’ve tracked mine for over a year. Tbh, BBT is only really good for confirming ovulation. If it remains high after AF is due, I.e as high as after ovulation and doesn’t decrease it could suggest pregnancy. Typically by day 1 of AF your temp drops. Mine starts to lower normally 12 DPO, but everyone is different.

When is AF due for you?

Very exciting @lovealways97 , let us know how it goes!!
I got my first LH static smiley today. Wohoo! Does that mean I'll likely ovulate tomorrow?

Morning ladies. 12dpo today and still feeling rough as a badgers ass 😂 took an easy@home 10miu test this morning and it was bfn so I'm now starting to think my symptoms are down to me coming off the pill in august 🤷🏻‍♀️ is anyone on here good at bbt charts? I got a thermometer this month and managed to start tracking my temp just after O. Wondered if anyone might take a look at my chart? I appreciate I didn't start temping until after O!

Fingers crossed for you!! Let us know how you get on!

I’ve done my first easy at home test this morning, only CD6 and only measuring at 0.13 according to Premom so gonna see how we go. I’ve not done it properly/regularly tested before so hoping this will be the month that I actually find my peak.

How quickly do people usually get to their peak from a low reading like 0.13 x

Morning @Lila34830 i m currently cramping and curled up in bed! Ukhh i hate this, still no sign and pretty early for me to cramps like this...
sory for your cramps, keep us updated if ut s AF related 🤞🏻

I just went back and read the reviews for the Easy at Home tests I bought and a few people have said they had indents HOWEVER one person said she tested one in plain water and the indent didn't show up, so I did the same test and on the one in urine there's a squinter and the one in water nothing at all. Dare we hope!

I think we've got a squinter!! I'm pretty certain it's an indent though as before I even dipped the 2nd test I could see a line on it. Talk about line eyes!

Going to test again in the morning but woke up from a dream that I found out my wife was pregnant and had to test!

Yes to the Dino club 🙌🏻🦕

@Clara202 don’t be thinking those thoughts! You are way too young and also - that’s 12 weeks since stopping the pill (though feels like 6 years). That’s no time! It can take a full year for your cycle to get back to normal (mine definitely did). Brown is likely light bleeds not full periods. Regular is good at this stage.

@Lila34830 we are due AF the same day 😬 got all the tingly feels now so I’m pretty sure 😫 hope I’m wrong, I will feel pretty gutted if it comes, we did everything we could!

defo time for the Dino Mum Club 🦖🦕 can you tag me so I find you? Xx

Hello dino ladies, Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

@Lila34830 oh dear dont feel out until AF shows, and heavy breast are a good sign! 10dpo is still early hold on 💪🏼

@JessicaViolet dont despair, all your symptoms are promising keep testing maybe you will the next dino mum 🥰

@Clara202 i dont think so, sometimes our cycles are just messed up, maybe you are stressed? Honestly our bodies keep on amazing me, we learn a new thing everyday. Find a gp who will listen to your concern, and is willing to give you the time and ease you.

Nothing to report on my side, the weirdest cycle since i have started ttc , dunno if i ovulate or not and no sign of AF or any other sign, no sore boobs, it's funny i just learnt until recently that we can have a cycle without ovulating maybe that's what is happening. I feel like on a break of ttc and tww haha. But at the same time i want af to show so i can go on to the next cycle.

@Lila34830 I know what you mean, but also you never know 😊 you had so many promising symptoms!

Although I feel the same for this cycle already, I’m too stressed about it all and dunno how to get it off my mind and relax.. and I’m worried about something coming back on my ultrasound next weekend so more stress 🤣🤣.

@Lila34830 @KT199 I've got a few tests at home that will no doubt be burning a hole in my pocket so I'll definitely carry on testing up until af comes.

@Lila34830 well done 🤣 I’m jealous of your self control!!!

I’m torn because we’re just trying to be regular, but also would like to know when to expect AF and when we can stop 🤣🤣 I feel like I get so consumed with testing and it drives me mad waiting for that positive test, but then it is useful to know..

@JessicaViolet it could still change tomorrow and if it’s a cheapie that detects 25 vs 10 of HCG then it wouldn’t show early on one of them anyway!

@KT199 heah I tested this morning on a cheapie and it was a bfn 🥲 so I stopped my pill in August and I've had a withdrawal bleed and 2 AF since then. I had a a 23 day cycle and then a 31 day cycle, fertility friend is predicting this one to be 27 days which was my usual cycle length before I started the pull.

Evening ladies ☺️

@JessicaViolet have you tested recently? Also how many cycles have you had off of birth control?

@Lila34830 hoping you get a positive, well done on the testing willpower I’ve always caved even when I didn’t even want to 🤣

@Clara202 I only have very short periods too, I’ve tried to discuss with my dr but they were very dismissive and said it’s completely normal to have shorter cycles even post what you had prior to starting contraception providing you’ve got a regular cycle. I would maybe reach out to them and discuss your concerns if it’s taking a toll mentally and you’re worried. They will be able to do blood tests ect for you I’d hope.
