THE DINO CLUB #1

Happy birthday for yesterday @Toppstileslover!! Hope you have a lovely weekend away celebrating 💕
It will happen for you, whichever way that may be. Fingers crossed for a lucky birth month cycle !

@littlebluu yeah im hoping I get my surge over the next few days, probably not likely today as I normal have a day or two between flashing smiley!

If your ovulation was delayed you should still have same length luteal phase, that’s the part that’s never meant to change so try not to worry, easier said than done I know! Pleased you found your surge though. Hahahah laughing about the forced DTD 🤣🤣🤣 it’s so romantic!

Oh lass I'm in the exact same boat, the last 2 months I've got my LH peak CD 16/17 but this cycle didn't get my peak til this morning (CD19) after a snails pace surge! I almost counted myself out because I thought I had a super early peak, I'm glad I stuck at testing or I'd have missed it!
So I'm guessing ovu will be overnight so I had to force hubby into DTD after work, again, zero romance 😅😅

Not sure now if I'm going to have a short LP with failed implantation, or im going to have a longer cycle than usual - I'm not holding out hope tho because I usually have a very regular cycle.

Why are our bodies predictable like clockwork until we need it to be 🙄🙄

Fingers crossed for a peak for you tomorrow! 🤞🤞

Congrats @Parks17 ! That’s a lovely birthday present as it’s my birthday today! I’m 37 which is a blessing and privilege but a complete slap of reality I must admit with TTC. Really got to get going with it, having a family now No 1 priority 😊😊🦕🦕❤️❤️🌙🌙 cycle 3 let’s go!

need to ring doctor tomorrow re test results. Have been thinking a lot about if we needed ivf and am very open to having twins! Then it’s done. Sadly can’t mail order.

thinking of you @HE93C take back control and understand your body. It will all be fine.

@Clara202 how are you getting on xx

Hi ladies,
Hope you’re all doing okay! Definitely needed a few days break to calm my head down, hoping ovu is just delayed as no positive LH test for me yet, but did get my flashing smiley this morning (which was 3-5 days later than I’ve had in other cycles) so it may be on the horizon in the next few days. If I get a peak going to get the scan re-booked to confirm ovulation is happening as that sonographer really put the fear in me. I’m CD15, have always ovulated by now in the past.

May still be a little quieter than I normally as I am still feeling quite overwhelmed and worried but defo trying to be more positive and optimistic now

Congrats @Parks17!!

So confusing sometimes isn't it hehehe 🙂

Not me hahaha but I'll take it as positive vibes for this cycle ;)

Thank you all so much for your messages 🥹
It's starting to feel a bit real now.
Baby dust to you all ❤️

Definitely @Lila34830
I have everything crossed that this late peak means my period would be on CD 30/31 (or not at all, ofc 😆) but I've been so regularly between 26-29 that I can't see it delaying that much but I honestly hope so!

@HE93C Last month my peak was .89 😁
@Parks17 Congrats on that lovely blue line!! 🩵

I'm also having LH issues girls 😫

Last night I thought I peaked with a .84 but this morning I tested and now I'm at .91 - I'm hoping this is my peak, I'm going to test later today around 6pm (which is when I always see the strongest results) and hope that's it's started to lower coz otherwise it's signalling ovu would be tomorrow (or overnight at some point) and if I'm measuring with my regular average cycle length of 26-29 days that gives me a luteal phase of a week or just over and that's obviously not enough time for little Dino egg to stick 😔😔

So confused and conflicted and just running myself crazy with Google.

Plus it means we'll have to DTD tonight too just to be covered and I'm completely over it. It feels so forced and its triggering me 😆😆

I still have a handful of OPK from a 50 pack so I think I'll use them up in December and it'll will be the last month I track and test because this is getting to be ALOT 😳

Oh really!! That’s reassuring cos obviously I googled and thought the worst! I saw stuff about it not being enough to ovulate if it’s under 1 and panicked!! Thank you for calming my nerves 😂

Still lurking on this post sending you all love and baby dust!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations lovely 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations!!! so exciting.

I got to 0.81 on my LH tests last night but down to 0.6 today. Does anyone know if 0.81 still counts as a peak? I’m worried now that I’m not going to ovulate? Any advice pls xx

Thanks everyone for checking!
This is FMU test (I haven't been able to sleep properly, surprise surprise)

@Nay34 that makes sense. I always wonder how it can predict it so accurately from the pic.

@Toppstileslover we are doing the deed every day from 5 days before expected ovulation and then if we can make it work maybe twice the day of or day before but we are still fairly early in ttc so it’s still fun at this point! I don’t know how long it will last as usually I’d do it every day but sometimes I have to nag my other half as he would be happy with once a week 😂

I don't know how to edit posts... sorry for another post straight after. I'm aware that sometimes the app suggests my peak based on the picture of the test but sometimes in real life a different test is actually darker so I do base off of real life more!

For those testing and using premom app these are a couple of my months. I seem to have a clear peak around CD14 and it lines up with CM, but I usually stop testing once I see the lines fade, maybe I should carry on next month in case.

My DTD schedule varies, but always try my best to do every other day in 5 days leading up to and day after. That's my best case scenario, if not possible I try to focus on day before ovu, day of and day after.

I see a positive here 🥹

@HE93C @Lila34830 thank you both! I've started taking them .. still very weak according to the premom app so maybe I will be late ovulation again !! Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle
