My AF is due to finish tomorrow I'm gonna buy clear blue dual ovulation for this month and conceive plus see if that helps x x

youngmummy3105 · 26/04/2017 18:15

My AF is on the second day and usually last 3-4 days so it should be finished by Friday! X

DT2016 · 26/04/2017 18:38

I'm in. First cycle ttc #2 after very complicated miscarriage last year. I'm on CD5 so AF pretty much finished. Reset my Clearblue Fertility Monitor this morning so feeling tentatively hopeful and also sh*t scared!!

Hi,
I'm completely new to this, MN and TTC. Can I join your feed? It's all a bit overwhelming.

The more the merrier! I still feel new to all this too. What I have learned in the last three months is that reading through other people's experience really helps though!

I'll join! Had early miscarriage last week, all finished now. So I'm hoping ovulation will occur end of next week and we can try again......

DT2016 · 30/04/2017 09:35

I'm on CD9 and got high fertility on OPK this morning. Not expecting to get peak fertility until around 4 May though. Best get DTD!!

BumbleBee1982 · 30/04/2017 19:25

Sorry to hear that weaseldee, how are you feeling now?
Does CD stand for cycle day? Trying to get the hang of all the abbreviations!

DT2016 · 30/04/2017 19:52

Yes CD = cycle day. I have to google some of the abbreviations too!!

Can I join? I had a complicated miscarriage that lasted most of March and April. Due first af in the next week and can't wait to get back to ttc again.

weasledee · 01/05/2017 10:20

Hi bee, yes I'm ok now I'm cd 9 so usually dtd from cd 11, but with the miscarriage I'm not sure if ovulation will happen then?! I've got the ovulation sticks so gonna start them tomorrow morning 😁

BumbleBee1982 · 01/05/2017 14:05

I'm CD12 and according to the Ovia app now is the time! I'm away for work Thursday though which it says is the best day- not sure how accurate the apps are!? Do people recommend using them? Is Ovia a good one? Will pick up some strips and see if that helps to reassure me.
Welcome tankful. Sorry to hear about that- fingers crossed for everyone this month.

poppylou27 · 02/05/2017 21:22

Hello,

I had MMC at the end of March and I am just in the midst of finishing my AF, planning on TTC this month and would love to share the journey with you all Smile

I'm using the Ovia app (not sure how good it is, but it's proven useful in making me more aware of what happens when!) and it looks like I ovulated early this month. My friend did tell me she got pregnant in the latter part of her cycle and not to worry about ovulation ... not sure what to make of that advice!

OP posts:
Sazwest · 04/05/2017 23:13

Well my fertile window starts tomorrow so wish me luck lol ( Ovia says I ovulate 10th) xx

weasledee · 04/05/2017 23:15

Fertile window started yesterday for me and dtd so fingers crossed.... :)

Sazwest · 04/05/2017 23:26

My hubby has asked me tonight when my fertile window starts so I've told him for tomorrow till 11th so said we will dtd every other day till just after 11th xx

BumbleBee1982 · 05/05/2017 17:39

I see a lot of people saying every other day for DTD during the window. Is that because it's better quality. "Less is more"? If so DP will be very disappointed. He's enjoying carte blanche Smile

Sazwest · 05/05/2017 18:13

My fertile window started today so we dtd this morning but our little girl has been admitted to hospital so we won't be dtd again till Sunday my Ovia app says I ovulated on 10th so luckily still in the time frame. My hubby doesn't complain about dtd all the time in my fertile window which is good SmileSmile . Xx

DT2016 · 05/05/2017 19:31

Hope your little girl is ok and home soon Sazwest

hopingforabfp · 06/05/2017 17:21

Hi all, I bought the clear blue dual hormone OPKs today. When is it that I should start testing on a 35 day cycle would you say? I usually ovulate around day 25. Xx

poppylou27 · 07/05/2017 09:52

@hopingforabfp Hello, how many tests do you have? I predict that I will ovulate on the 14th May and took one today just to see what it looks like when I know I'm definitely not ovulating (to see the faintness of the second line) but then again mine are internet cheapies, I plan to test everyday from 5 days before, so from Tuesday (9th) as I'm not entirely certain about when I will ovulate and in that case I'll be able to see when the line starts to darken - but then again, these are the internet cheapies so can get away with a lot of wastage!
Do you definitely ovulate around day 25 in most cycles?
Xxx
