Anybody 3DPO..?

[Lolastanley]

Anybody 3DPO that wants to ride the TWW together?

@Lolastanley I am ok, thank you 🌻 To be honest, after 4 cycles of fake positives I have grown a thick skin. The more I think of it the more I stress less. Using OPK's daily now to see if I actually ovulated 8 days earlier this time or not ( if I did- it was Tuesday, as all tests are much weaker since that day). If so- we will find out soon if cycle 5 is just another failure or not. Would be hard not to test , but what is the point of seeing positive line that doesn't really mean anything 🤯 Maybe it's the universe telling me to stop testing too early 😅

Yeah I guess. That makes sense. Well fingers crossed for you this cycle! Did you say you’ve been to the GP?

I finally got a flashing smiley today, I’d given up hope I would ovulate. CD 19 so I obviously ovulate a lot later than I thought.

I caved in!!!! Because i felt like having a drink tonight and of course got a bfn. Im 7dpo, probably silly to test so early but flo tells me af is in 3 days. Ahhh i hate ttc !!!

@SunnyFlover hope you're ok, i know it would drive me completely mad. But are you definitely sure that you aren't pregnant?

@Lolastanley good stuff, now that you've pinpointed when you ovulate you'll have greater odds at conceiving. Fingers crossed for you and get busy lol

What do you guys think of this chart? I can’t work out of today is an ovulation dip. Had a flashing smiley face today and yesterday.

I’m not sure how accurate the CD 15/16 temps are as CD15 I had only had 3/4 hours sleep and CD16 I had got up and walked around just prior to taking it as I forgot

Sorry @Lolastanley I have no idea as I've never temped before.

Thanks @Lilice this is the first time I’ve temped so I’m not sure. It’s dropped back to “normal” Ranges now so must not of ovulated yet, still getting flashy smiley faces too.

I’ve managed to lock myself out of my account and find an older one I also locked myself out of. Tried to make it less confusing by changing back to a similar name ha ha. I am absolutely useless with passwords!

@lolastanley1 I would get fem to ignore cd15 and def 16 as these will skew its results. What temps have you got since?
I find it's hard to see an ovulation dip unless it's followed by clear rises after. You know ov has occurred when you have 3 consecutive temps that are 0.4f higher than your baseline (I think... mine are in C so it's 0.2 I think) basically you should go from mid 36's to around 37C, and it's it's for longer than 16 days then it's a high chance of a bfp.
I get a slow temp rise over a few days, but that's normal apparently. But means fem gets a bit confused with dates.
No news my end... still af but having a go with the cup!

@Lolastanley1 I usually get quite a large dip like that at ovulation then my temp levels out at around 36.6.

@sammyclaire22 How do you get fem to ignore it? My temps gone back to 96.58, I’d change it to C but my thermometer only seems to read F!

Ah that’s good to know @quiffy

@lolastanley1 if you go to bbt then pick the date it then has the option of abnormal or if you click on the point in the chart it shows the temp and a pencil appears where you can edit the temp or put abnormal.
Most thermometers will read either... but not 100% on that! And no idea how to change it lol

Oooo can you change fem to farenheit? I spend every morning googling s converter 😹

@Quiffy Yes you can... under settings!

Yeah I changed my temp settings under the usual settings. I would try and change it to C but I’ll wait til next cycle. I have had my 4th flashing smiley face, it’s CD22.. i don’t have any signs of ovulating, no cramps just a pain in my right breast. No increased CM.. I’m panicking now that I have a short Luteal phase and perhaps that’s why I’m also struggling?

@Lolastanley1 I'm not sure what the smiling faces mean, is that rising LH? Then static is peak? What does your temp chart look like now? And how long is your cycle normally?

@Lolastanley that's strange, maybe you ovulate later than you think. Have you googled it if people have had a similar experience with those tests? Are you also using the cheap strips to compare?

My chat is up and down, yeah static means peak, currently in high phase. Noted that I had pink CM after my last post. Apparently that’s common with pending ovulation?? Anybody else ever had this?

How is everybody getting on? Anybody in the TTW?

Not sure what’s going on with me. Had my 6th flashing smiley face today and then my period has arrived a week early!

@Lolastanley that’s really weird? So you didn’t get your peak ov and now you have af? Is it like your normal period?

I’m cd12 and waiting to ovulate. Should be in TWW by the weekend 🤞being able to change to Fahrenheit in fem has been so much better - thanks guys!

Aw no worries, much easier isn’t it! do you normally ovulate on the same day every month or within so many days?

Yeah didn’t have a peak, I never had a peak on the cheap OPKs, and of course now I am wondering if something is wrong with me. It seems like a proper period, but it’s literally just started. It’s strange my temp didn’t show ovulation either. I’m starting to think I ovulated immediately after my period.

I was cd13 for awhile but it switched to cd 15 last month (probably due to Angus castus) so I’m pretty regular. Was that dip on Saturday your ovulation dip? Or do you think you ovulated really early this month?

Hey I'm about 1/2 DPO today. My ov was delayed because of a sick bug this month so I will either have a long cycle and have a shot at a decent luteal phase or I will come on as planned in about 5 days and won't have stood a chance this month. It's my first month TTC baby two and I'm already obsessed.... not good!
