Hi all!

Anyone waiting / predicted ovulation soon and fancy going through the motions together?

In cycle 10 of TTC baby number 4.. first three were 'easy' this time two miscarriages deep.

Feeling a bit lonely!

Hey EJJ,
Only advice I can give is give it a few cycles so you can see your " pattern " you might not get really dark opks but your peak ( darkness of your opks) will become apparent over time.

I know it's hard to think about waiting months in the ttc game but that's the only thing I can suggest ❤️

And hi welcome be sure to get involved with us the more the merrier 😊

Thanks GoNoSixx

I was so lucky last time I’m worried I will struggle this time and my LH is a lot lower! Iv definitely passed my peak this month and am in TWW so will keep you posted 😊

Pahhahahahahahahahaha if you could see me now hahahaahahah proper laughing my head off ❤️

Ah i can't that's always been my fear, with my fiancee I wouldn't care during labour but with the older kids dad ( he was a dickhead ) i would have died and he would have looked at me with disgust 🙄

I've had 2 sections my last two labours but both of them I've laboured for over 12 hours and had to go for a section I would love to give birth vaginally again 🥺❤️

@GoNoSixx hahahah Imodium is a god send 🤪

Oh my god really!? How on Earth have you managed to not!? 🤣 Then again I have IBS so my poor OH had no choice soon in, if I don't fart I shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I also in my last labour needed a wee so was on one of them bed pans and shit instead and he had to check because I didn't know what I'd done 🤣🤪 apologies in advance if it's anyone's dinner time 🤪

That's what I forgot to get today imodium 😱 and I'm not sending OH he thinks I don't shit 🤣🤣🤣 I'm actually laughing sooooooo much. We've been together 5 years and I've never farted infront of him maybe in my sleep but I'm not aware of that 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey girls I have been reading this thread and it’s all very helpful. I have a question. I am TTC baby 2 and these are my LH readings. With baby 1 I had LH levels of 1 and over and conceived in 1st month so don’t have lots of tests to compare to. However this time my levels are lower I am now on month 2 TTC. Are these tests strong enough or is it possible I am not ovulating?

That sounded weird I just want to clarify we dtd before he woke up and decided to get into our bed 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's awful having them in bed with you isn't it! I always try and keep her closet to me because he has to get up for work and she LOVESSSSSSS to stick her fingers in his nose/eyes/mouth 🤣🤣

Oh god I’ve just got over the bug it’s horrible isn’t it, just lay on your side and ask him to give you the good stuff 😂 you can still stay in bed then don’t have to move lol!! Just an idea 🤪😂 I do hope you feel better soon, I’m exhausted today my 2 year old was up most of last night absolutely adamant that he HAD to sleep next to his dad and in between us both 😂 I got no sleep. But I did manage to dtd again last night so fingers crossed something happens this month if it does then it’ll be due the same time my 2 year olds birthday is 😂😂 fssss but I don’t care I’ll take it lol x

I've woke up with a bug that she had monday night/Tuesday 😫

I'm due to O today or tomorrow and i feel rotton so probably won't get to dtd now 😩

Ah well it is what it is, atleast I won't spend the 2ww driving myself insane with symptom spotting 🤣🤣🤣

Mines gone down now, 1dpo! The 2ww begins 🥹 I’ve stocked up on all the foods for implantation and I’m praying 🤍

That must be a relief @thelma57hope you're ok, and bring on the next cycle! Yeah I think we should stick together! Please keep us updated 🥰

thelma57 · 13/03/2025 07:34

AF finally here on CD43 💀 Not feeling too down as a cycle before I got pregnant with DD I had a cycle length of 50 days, fun times!

I’m out of sync with you all now though but will continue to keep an eye and see how you’re all getting on! 💖

lynzmb · 13/03/2025 07:34

@GoNoSixxit is. I've just started BBT tracking this month but not right from the start of my cycle. I should be seeing a rise three days in a row to confirm ovulation, is that right? Temp dipped slightly today.
What is Ovusense? Sounds good!

GoNoSixx · 12/03/2025 23:17

lynzmb · 12/03/2025 23:09

See this is the sensible answer, thank you!
I'm over here googling all sorts. My last test just there, the PreMom app said 2.4 🤣 either the app is malfunctioning or I am 😬 I adjusted the levels by eye, took it down to 1.6.but wtf, I'd just like this to be a bit more straightforward please 😫 xx

It's a nightmare at times isn't it, i don't like doing opks without bbt for this reason alone, it's such a stress not knowing what's going on. I used ovusense before to convince my daughter I'm debating using it again if no bfp by Sep x

lynzmb · 12/03/2025 23:09

GoNoSixx · 12/03/2025 22:57

Sounds like a long surge or it rose and you tried to O but the egg wasn't mature enough so it's peaked now. Should hopefully have dropped down tomorrow 🙏❤️

I'm the same, dropped to 1.45 this evening but haven't gone below 1 since Sunday! I'm so confused, wish I had some advice for you! x

Hope someone has for us 😂

Ladies my lines are still strong. Is this a good ovulation cycle? These are two of my two from today bottom one just now taken, I obviously did more and they look the same LOL!! But normally once I peak that’s it, it goes faint. But these are still right up there…what’s this meannnnn 🥹
