I'm on CD 8 and just about to start the joys of fw and OPKS again for cycle 6 of ttc #1
Anyone else approaching/in fw and got any new tips/ideas you're trying this cycle? Or anything you did different which resulted in BFP? How often if everyone dtd?

Fx it a fast 2ww for everyone

Hate this bit

Owlpatrol · 18/12/2017 13:34

@HanSpan1 well done that looks like a perfect month so fx for you. I've just missed the deed once this cycle so trying to not get too excited

HanSpan1 · 18/12/2017 13:53

Thanks all.. i think i ov’d on CD17, i did actually get a +ve smiley face on the clearblue digital on CD16 but my sharp temp rise was on CD17 so guessing it happened then.
Fx to you all!

LostMyBaubles · 18/12/2017 14:12

Han sounds promising

Owl fx!

Cd17 here 5dpo and had some mild cramping today and last night

Lots of cm (tmi but needed to change undies!)

Didn't have this last month fx it's a good indication of a sticky bean

HellaBella0 · 18/12/2017 14:43

@LostMyBaubles me too! I didn’t have this last month either. I’m now 6dpo

LostMyBaubles · 18/12/2017 16:04

Last month was cp and didn't have this
Fx it's a good sign!

Need to pop out for panty liners or I'll have no undies left 🤣

You were doing SMEP weren't you? DTD day before, day of and day after ov? You must be the 1st tester on here, positive start for the rest of us. Fx everyone

Thanks, it's obviously very early days but it's nice to see that second line nonetheless! Yes SMEP. I got my positive opk in the early hours of cd 16 (I work shifts so my testing is always at random times) so we dtd cd 16, 17 and 18.

Last cycle we had dtd too early and too late so the SMEP definitely helped focus our efforts Blush

HellaBella0 · 19/12/2017 15:06

Yay congrats @louella99 our first BFP! Hopefully the first of many

LostMyBaubles · 19/12/2017 16:56

Is that cd 16 or dpo16

Either way omfg
Congratulations

Roobles79 · 20/12/2017 20:44

I am also in fertile week cd15 and have been using opk no positive so far...my fertility app says my fertile week ends tomorrow but if I haven't ovulated do I keep testing and dtd? This is a complicated business!

TheIntrovertedMum · 20/12/2017 22:55

CD14 here right in the middle Grin

Merrz · 21/12/2017 07:51

Yes I would keep testing and dtd Roobles I didn't get a pos opk until cd18 of 30 day cycle

HellaBella0 · 21/12/2017 09:01

How’s everyone getting on? Anyone testing soon? Need to help resist my own urge to test through others 😂

LostMyBaubles · 21/12/2017 11:37

I've been testing 😶
Obv a bit early hopefully for a bfp

Ran out if ic.
Some more should be arriving today

Dtd last night felt very odd
Like felt like (don't know how accurate it is lol) cervix was high and could feel it bottom of stomach top of pelvic area kinda thing
Doesn't normally feel like that

Boobs are achey at night and seem to be getting hot flushes (or temps?) Only at night

I'm weeing a lot but I'm drinking a lot to keep kidneys hydrated

CRZ1988 · 21/12/2017 12:30

@HellaBella0 I've not tested yet but have sore boobs bloating and quite bad nausea this morning. Af due in NYE so I'll test closer to then.

My rhr had dropped a lot but come back up since last night so I'm remaining hopeful!

LostMyBaubles · 21/12/2017 12:58

Sounds positive crz!

My tests have arrived 🤣

Merrz · 21/12/2017 13:47

Hi guys, i'm 6dpo today. Af due between tuesday and friday next week so can't decide when i'm going to test Confused
LostMyBaubles and CRZ sounds positive!

LostMyBaubles · 21/12/2017 13:51

Merzz thank you fx it's good for all of us

I've been reading people are getting bfps from 8dpo on wards
So trying my luck everyday lol

CRZ1988 · 21/12/2017 14:50

@LostMyBaubles @Merrz checked my rhr again this morning and it's come right down. It must have been wrong this morning. Still feel v nauseated though so maybe....oh I don't know!!!

I'll do a test at the weekend. I think I'm about 6 dpo so I'll keep everything crossed.

LostMyBaubles · 21/12/2017 15:17

Sorry what's rhr?

Not heard that one before?
I'm guessing temp?

CRZ1988 · 21/12/2017 15:36

@LostMyBaubles resting heart rate. I'm using my Fitbit to track it. There's quite a lot of research gone into heart rate and cycles. The tread Fitbit&ttc is v interesting. Women using theirs to track their cycles

Merrz · 21/12/2017 15:41

I have heard about rhr being a sign, guess it's similar to temp really if you're hr is higher/lower i'm guessing you're temperature is likely to be as well.
I think i might chance a sneeky test at 8dpo on saturday before my xmas night out, i think at least that early i won't be disappointed if it's bfn
