I'm CD 10 now but unfortunately can't try again this cycle. A bit jealous of you ladies that can! Planning IVF, probably in October. Working lots of overtime to help fund it!

CD8 for me. Starting clear blue advanced ovulation tests tomorrow which is exciting. Never used the digital ones before. Will be interesting to see how they compare. I'm also managing to temp the past few mornings without issue. Can't say I'm not being proactive!!

alice mine was pretty early which probably puts me ahead.

Whisper of a line on OV stick this morning.

No idea what CD I’ll ovulate on as it’s my first ‘proper’ cycle. When do you guys all ovulate?

8DaysAWeek · 02/08/2018 08:07

Basin I have a 29 day cycle and ovulate CD 16/17, if that helps at all! I think the average is 14 days before your cycle ends isn't it? So if it's a 28 day cycle CD14 is most likely.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 08:08

I’ve got a 28 day cycle and ov on cd15/16

I have no idea haha! I have around 27-29 day cycle but I have never confirmed ovulation. Using sticks this cycle to narrow it down and find out

It'll be interesting to see if you've been ovulating when you think you have @alicepol! I guess if you dtd often it shouldn't really matter. We don't have the busiest of sex lives so it's important to us to make sure we are doing it at the right time haha.

BasinHaircut · 02/08/2018 09:04

MIL will be staying here on either CD 16 or 17, typical! Grin she sleeps in the room below ours which isn’t ideal for TTC.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 09:12

@basinhaircut tell her you have noisy neighbours and buy her some earplugsGrin

Typical @basinhaircut 😂
Yeah it will be interesting to see @8daysaweek we aren't ones to dtd every day all the time tbh so will definitely help to narrow down ovulation better.
Convincing DH we need to up our BD game! 😂

I think I’m in the 2ww so can I join in please? Anyone here good at reading charts? I’m not sure if we have a chance this month :(

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 12:25

@llanali I’m not an expert but I can take a look

8DaysAWeek · 02/08/2018 12:29

Let's have a look @llanali!

Llanali · 02/08/2018 12:32

Thanks ladies, so we DTd on Sunday, got a peak static smile on Tuesday morning at 6am (but think the cheapie opk on Monday night was positive too) and DTd on Tuesday night..... 18 hours after I got the peak smile.

Peak smile lasted until Wednesday night/this morning. OPK cheapies not positive any more either.

It’s the first time I’ve used opks or done temping so I don’t know when you ovulate after they go positive etc!!

Thanks so much

Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?
TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 12:44

Looks like ovulation was on the 30th - one more raised temp will confirm this

Llanali · 02/08/2018 12:50

Thank you; think we might have missed it then. Bugger.

Weird how my opks didn’t show positive or peak until the 31st/ very late on the 30th. I see how my temps suggest the 30th though.

I though opks went positive 12/24 hours before ovulation? I’m so confused lol

Thanks for the help x

TheMagicTorch · 02/08/2018 12:57

Hi 🙋‍♀️ I'm in the two week wait - 5po and feels like forever still to go!
TTC #1 Cycle 5.
AF due 11th August.

Good luck everyone xl

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 12:57

If you got a peak on the Monday night you could have been catching the surge on its way down?

Llanali · 02/08/2018 13:00

Ah, hadn’t thought of that: how long does the surge last? There was no surge on Monday morning on either the cheapie or clear blue :/

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 02/08/2018 13:07

That’s the million dollar question.

My last ovulation I had negative at 8am, positive at 2pm and negative at 7pm.

The one before I had 3 days of positives.

So it’s not the same for everyone, or even for yourself! Bloody annoying.

There’s a bracelet called the Ava bracelet that’s supposed to be really good in helping pinpointing ovulation. Wish I could justify the price Sad

Llanali · 02/08/2018 13:15

Hmmm thanks so much for explaining it. I’ll see how I go. At least I did ovulate!

purplestar9 · 02/08/2018 13:31

I can see how most people go quiet when they're in the first two weeks of their cycle!
I'm currently on CD 10 and have an approx 33 day cycle so I have about 9/10 days till ovulation! The first two weeks end up being almost 3 weeks for me so it feels even longer than the 2ww sometimes!

8DaysAWeek · 02/08/2018 14:24

@llanali did you take your temp today? Although the past couple of days have been a smidge higher than the previous, I wonder if you ovulated yesterday, and in the next three days will see a significant rise in BBT? Your cm and opks would be more suggestive of that.

8DaysAWeek · 02/08/2018 14:26

@purplestar9 my cycles used to be 33 days long and I didn't ovulate until CD19 so know the feeling! Thankfully down to 29 days but still need to wait until CD17 or so. Jealous of people that O on CD12!
