1DPO trying for our first, about the 4th cycle in (since I’ve been ovulation testing & properly tracking). All I want for Christmas is a BFP🤞

No I actually had my first on my first month of trying, I didn’t have pcos then or didnt have any irregular periods etc. after having my son I started to have irregular periods and then stopped ovulating - really odd.
thank you for your kind words, I really hope same for you!!

@Mary182 Wow that's mad! Pregnancy can do such weird things to the body can't it

@CatLady93 @Junip2 Well, every single cycle so far I have said I won’t test.. but then I have given in and tested regardless. I’ve kinda felt that knowing AF will arrive has almost made the appearance not as bad as I get the sadness out of the way before and my BBT does tend to drop 10/11 DPO too which is always a sign.

So, my aim is to wait until it least 10DPO on my current 4DPO schedule.. and then either AF will have arrived if I’m on 6. BUT I give in very easily and have tests in my drawer soo🙈

When do you plan to test @Junip2

I do this too - so glad to see someone else saying it!

I know exactly what you mean! Urgh, I don’t know - I’ve told myself not to test until AF is due which is the 8th/9th.BUT knowing me I’ll be testing next week 😂 once I start I can’t stop either haha. When are you due AF?

Show quote history

I’m the same, once I’ve tested one day I then test every day after until about 11DPO. The earliest I’ve cracked is 8DPO.

If I’m 4DPO should be around the 5th!

@KT199 I have a 12 day luteal phase too! Always have! So with my first I didn't test early as I found it too sad 🫠 Weirdly found getting my period a bit gentler. This time around I've tested early a few times so I'm worried I've set a precedent now 😂 I'd rather just wait though I think.. will see how I do this time! How about you?

@Junip2 ahhhh thank you! Hello ☺️ let’s all hope for some lovely BFP’s in time for Christmas!!

Not sure if any of you are on Tik Tok, but I keep seeing the old wives tale of wrapping a baby blanket up and putting it under the tree as a sign of having a baby next year 😂 I considered it until I realised my OH would think I’ve lost the plot!

Ahahaha this is jokes. My OH would have a lot of questions 😂😂 I’ve just ordered some cheap tests from Amazon. I’ve told myself I am not buying any FRER or CB as I can’t cope with how much I’ve spent on them in the past 😂😂😂

when’s everyone planning to test?

@KT199 Nooo not an extra 2 days, so cruel!! For years I've ovulated on day 22-26, wasn't a problem clearly as fell pregnant with my first, but I started taking inositol recently and last cycle I ovulated on day 20, and this cycle was day 16!! Magic 😱 Must have balanced something out hormone wise 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve read about this stuff, glad to hear it’s having such a good impact for you! If my cycles continue to be this much longer for a few cycles may look into it☺️

I honestly thought the same, I guess when AF arrives I’ll have a good idea as I’ve been tracking BBT for 12 months prior as “birth control” so have found I have a 12 day luteal phase!

Do you tend to test early or are you someone who can hold out and not test until after AF is due?

Junip2 · 27/11/2024 20:18

@wgll I also totally know what you mean re Christmas!!

@KT199 welcome!! Let’s hope you’re on 6dpo!!

@Mary182 I’ve got everything crossed for you!

Here’s my chart 🤣 wouldn’t let me attach it to the other!

How weird!! To me that looks like you ovulated around day 17.. as there's such a sharp rise after? Who knows though haha

@KT199 Of course you can join! 😊 Natural Cycles has a mind of its own doesn't it 😂 Did you do any ovulation tests?

Show quote history

It seems that way this month for sure!! 🤣 don’t know whether I’m coming or going and to have to wait an extra two days making a 16 day wait is just mean!

I did, I got my positive and peak on CD17 (very late, normally CD12-13) and NC then confirmed ovu for CD17 but moved it to CD19 this morning 🤣

Hey ladies! A little further a long at 4DPO (potentially 6, as natural cycles changed my ovu date after confirming once already 🙈 but my temps just keep rising!) Hope you don’t mind if I join?

This is cycle 4 for me, ttc #1 so quite new to tracking ect but Google and mums net have been a massive help😂

I’m 1DPO! First cycle back after a MC 6 weeks ago.

Can’t decide if I want to be pregnant for Christmas or if the no-drinking would be miserable/would mean everyone was suspicious and that would make me anxious I case or another MC!

Got my fingers crossed for all of you though!

Edited

@wgll So sorry about your MC 😔 Fingers crossed for this cycle for you ❤️
