@Ec2808 I can’t say for sure but I feel like it probably was about 6dpo… I stopped actively tracking cm last cycle because I was getting so fed up 😂 hopefully with us dtd on 7dpo am we will have managed to catch it. Just need to wait it out and see 🫣

@HansBanans do you know the last day you had watery cm? for me i usually ovulate on the last day of watery or stretchy cm...i don't think you're out tbh...i think you spaced it out well! if it doesn't work out the digital opks worked really well conceived on second month of using them 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ec2808 @JupiterDaze I only temped. Yeah I was ill around the time it says I ovulated too and one of the temps is over 37 lol. Later ovulation would make sense because I still had watery cm after it said I ovulated which is unusual for me. Think we’ve missed the window then if that’s the case 😕 I’ll just have to wait it out. I’ve ordered the Clearblue digital opk’s for the next cycle 🤞🏻

JupiterDaze · 10/10/2025 07:24

@HansBanans did you say you were ill? I agree with @Ec2808, your second rise on the 6th could be your actual ovulation day and the high temps before could have been because you were ill?

@HansBanans did you also use opks this month or just temp? I have a feeling you may have ovulated later....

@GoldDustWoman90 thanks so much. Yes it’s just the same as opk but in blood test form. I think they come together where I am.
everything else ok on day 21.

GoldDustWoman90 · 09/10/2025 14:41

@fullofhope2024 I had my FSH done on day 3 of my cycle :) not sure my clinic did LH...isn't that just an OPK? Honestly had so much blood taken at this rate I don't even know any more!

fullofhope2024 · 09/10/2025 14:11

Hey ladies, those that have had bloods done recently which day of cycle is best to have lh/fsh tested?

GoldDustWoman90 · 09/10/2025 12:54

Yeah thats fair - I'd say it it's easy, but fermentation is my latest ADD hyperfixation, so I'm getting super into it 😂

I made standard kimchi too...it was my biggest craving for my last pregnancy, so my stupid mind is convinving me THATS what I need to get pregnant this cycle....the things we convince ourselves of eh!

Anya23 · 09/10/2025 12:09

@GoldDustWoman90Wow that's amazing!! Sounds delicious, I'd love to try it, not sure I'll have the energy to do it though 🙈😂

Those of you who drink beetroot juice in the tww, how much should we drink? Can't say I'm a fan of the taste 😂

Agreed....it literally tastes like dirt lol, so I've been a bit bougie and made myself beetroot kimchi! Figured it ticks both boxes then, daily pro-biotic and beety goodness 😁

I grew them on my allotment this year so there's been an added bonus in being able to eat the beetroot greens too. Friggin' delicious stir fried in butter and garlic. I've eaten enough to make my poop purple for a couple of days, so figured I'm still getting the same goodness (if not more...) than by drinking it 😂

Anya23 · 09/10/2025 11:36

@HansBanansThanks, might try that after the juice is finished

HansBanans · 09/10/2025 11:34

@Anya23 I’ve been eating beetroot rather than drinking the juice. I just have a few of the small ones every day

BFN again at 13dpo so I think I’m out this cycle unfortunately. AF due tomorrow/the day after

HansBanans · 08/10/2025 12:09

@MamaGeordie don’t be too disheartened just yet. Implantation can be as late as 12dpo and if you’re only 10dpo then there’s still time

@MamaGeordie Hi, welcome! if you ovulated later then AF will also be pushed back..LP of 10days would be considered on the short side and is not really ideal..what way do you track ovulation with bbt or opks?

OP posts:
Anya23 · 08/10/2025 12:08

Welcome @MamaGeordie, I also have shorter cycles normally (25-27 days the last few cycles)
🤞For you, not every pregnancy is the same, you might have had a later implantation

MamaGeordie · 08/10/2025 12:02

Hi, I'd like to join you all please 😊
Currently on 3rd cycle TTC and have very regular cycles, although on the shorter side. Usually 22 - 26 days max. Today I'm CD27 and think I ovulated on CD17 (late ovulation for my normal cycle) which means I should have a BFP by now if I was pregnant (from previous experience). No AF yet.
I took a test with FMU today and BFN. Took a CB yesterday and think there was an evap line. I hate those. Always used FRER but only seem to be available via Amazon these days.
I feel like AF is looming and my body is mocking me but we shall see in the next day or so.

HansBanans · 08/10/2025 10:45

I was worried about falling pregnant last cycle as it would have been a similar situation for us but I’m at the point now where I could have a due date of Christmas Day and I wouldn’t care. I just want to be pregnant 😂

@Ec2808 oh nooo 🤣 at least they’re all out the road and the rest of the year is cheaper 😂 I said years ago I’d love a July baby which is what next cycle would hopefully bring, so here’s hoping 🤞🏻

Ec2808 · 08/10/2025 09:13

@HansBanans trust me I know we started in February because we would have liked a different birth month than may or June as DS is june 8th and DD is May 31st and look what we got May 20th 😂3 birthday only weeks apart 😂
