Morning girls, @Insidemyownheadso sorry af arrived ! 🫢🏽
@EmPeEfhas the lH gone down? If it has definitely count this as your peak, sometimes as long as you see a peak doesn’t matter how dark it is.

im having ovulation pains, I started vitamin b6 this morning as it’s supposed to support the luteal phase and progesterone production so let’s hope !

Yep, totally down this morning. And I think my temp has already started to rise. 0.2 higher than yesterday although annoyingly I didn’t temp enough over the last two weeks to establish a base line yet. But I’m thinking I’m 1dpo now.

Sounds like you’re not far off being it either! 🀞🏻

Insidemyownhead · 13/08/2025 09:24

@WF1990 thank you, always the next one πŸ€πŸ€žπŸ»

good luck with the vitamins, it’s definitely things like this AI should be used for!

I used the same brand at every testing. My peak was yesterday.

Ahh okay apologies I got confused with the test strip post.

Lh4503 · 12/08/2025 17:47

@EmPeEf It looks like your using different brands of tests? They will be slightly different as the amount of LH they measure will be different i believe. I used a new brand and tried a one step and one step was wayyyyy lighter even at my peak it never got dark. This cycle for some reason mine went dark and lighter then darker again. But I was unwell.

Usually each cycle I test each night at 6pm with the same brand. Time of day can vary it too as I did it twice a day this time and it confused me more.

@Lh4503good luck !!πŸ€

@EmPeEfwbich day of your cycle are you ? My ovulation varies so much, between 19-22 days xx

CD17, which is a little later for me compared to previous months, but I did count CD1 from first bleeding during a chemic pregnancy, so may be a little earlier. Another lower test from a super concentrated wee but I’ll keep testing, and I track my BBT so I’ll be able to see if it rises or not in the next few days πŸ‘πŸ»

i hope it rises soon @Lh4503!

@EmPeEfid say not quite yet. ! Probably tonight !! This is mine from this morning, we DTD Sunday afternoon, so we will tonight and tomorrow but with the heat I’m not THAT motivated πŸ˜‚

I actually had a lighter test in the middle of the night and similar this morning. I actually did two E@H I was so surprised to not get a darker one. So wondering if that was actually my peak.

Lh4503 · 12/08/2025 16:09

@WF1990 Honestly I feel like im more calm this month because of chat GPT, I'd be lost without it! πŸ™ˆ

Hoping it works for you! 🀞 good luck with DTD the next day or so espin this heat!

Well I'm 3DPO today, nothing really to report, few cramps here and there but that is all.

WF1990 · 12/08/2025 14:23

Honestly what would we do without chat GPT 🀣 it told me to start b6 on 1 dpo as b6 can actually repress oestrogen before ovulation, and let’s hope it does help with my progesterone ! I am due to ovulate tomorrow, meaning that my 7 dpo test will be on 20 August !

Lh4503 · 12/08/2025 14:21

@WF1990 ooooh your peaking! 😁 get a fan out 🀣

Well good old chat GPT made me feel better. Apparently BBT needs to be above the pre ovulation baseline which i am according to this graph so that's a good thing 🀞

@WF1990 Yeah im feeling okay thank you, it doesn't seem to have risen at all yet to be honest πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ not sure if it's instant or it takes a few days. We will see.
Oooh thats good with the b6 anything is worth a shot isn't it πŸ™‚

@EmPeEf that is positive but I'd sat you haven't hit peak as the test line will me much darker than the control line so you may have another day or two before ovulation. But it's good to have sperm waiting (they live up to 5 days inside) and then have sex once you hit peak too and the day after if your in the mood as you cover all bases then!

EmPeEf · 11/08/2025 22:34

Positive or not quite yet?

Had sex at 1am this morning. Should I aim for tomorrow more than 24 hours later rather than sex again tonight? Just really fancy some πŸ˜†

WF1990 · 11/08/2025 20:43

How are you feeling today @Lh4503did the temp confirm ovulation ? My lH is still rising so I think my peak will either be tomorrow or Wednesday with ovulation Thursday. I’ve ordered vitamin b6 to add to my supplement as apparently it can help with progesterone ! Who knows.

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 10/08/2025 19:22

@WF1990 Thank you! Absolutely, think positive and you have your test booked in this month so you will know soon and if it's not where it should be at least you can get the help needed for next month ❀️

I'm feeling a bit all over the place this month too with ovulation being late and temping being so new, but trying to remain positive 🀞 it's hard temping as soon as I wake up without getting up or talking or anything especially when it's usually my 5 year old that wakes me up 🀣 how do I not say anything or get up! πŸ™ˆ trying my best though.

WF1990 · 10/08/2025 18:55

@Lh4503good luck for the 2WW! And definitely ! I am still putting all chances on my side, but I think I’m approaching this month really differently as I feel like if I get my hopes up and my progesterone comes back low I’ll be gutted !
good luck with temping ! I wouldn’t know where to start !

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 10/08/2025 18:54

@WF1990 Yes I ovulated yesterday I'm 1DPO today, so back in the dreaded 2WW πŸ™ˆ let's hope this month is the month 🀞definitely still DTD because if your progesterone comes back OK you'll kick yourself if you didn't!

My BBT hasn't risen yet but assume it will take a day or so, not too sure as this is my first month temping.

WF1990 · 10/08/2025 17:53

Hey girls, LH on the rise for me finally so we’re entering DTD time πŸ˜… even though I’m not sure my progesterone is sufficient … hopefully it is but I’ll test on 7dpo.
how are you all ?
@Lh4503arr you in the 2WW ?

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 08/08/2025 13:31

@WF1990 yes absolutely! 🀞🀞

Feeling a bit better today finally, my tummy seems to have settled πŸ˜€ and LH is on the rise too so im back on track. This has felt like the longest cycle ever.

How is everyone doing?

WF1990 · 07/08/2025 17:12

@Lh4503amazing ! Fingers crossed for both of us regarding progesterone !! 🀞🏼

OP posts:
Lh4503 · 07/08/2025 13:54

@WF1990 Awww hopefully you get some answers this month and if it is low then start taking progesterone tablets.🀞

Had my Dr's appointment today and am booked in for full bloods, swabs etc.They will do a progesterone blood test next cycle now too. CD19 and Still not ovulated but LH is a little darker today so hopefully it's coming soon so we will see πŸ˜† feeling a bit better now I have the tests booked and I know things will be looked into.
