Anybody 3DPO..?

[Lolastanley]

Anybody 3DPO that wants to ride the TWW together?

@Lolastanley that dies look like a dip. I'd DTD before more before your rise as your egg doesn't survive that long after.

@Sammyclaire22 I'm hoping it's just a delayed but it's so weird compared to my usual. Attached my normal kind of chart where I go straight up and then this odd one

This is the analysis femometer has given me too. I manually changed ov back from 19th to 17th as I got peak opk 17th morning and it went back to high 18th morn. Both dates told my about luteal deficiency though - hopefully just an off month 🤔

I never knew Femo did the analysis just signed up to the free trial. I don’t think I can get a good analysis until I’ve had 3 high temps. I’ve just been DTD every other day this month. Thanks for your input guys! It looks all positive from you guys point of view. Fingers crossed!

Fem wanted to put me in the dip but my opk peak and cramps were the next day so ive shifted it, but thats why I'm not 100% sure on dates!
As for dtd I'd try to do both before, on and the day after- fem says the dip is ov and the conceiving is 33% that day, but ideally to do it within the previous 3 days and on the day so the sperm are waiting in the tube.
The day after you get a rise you are hoping the sperm can get all the way up the tube within a few hours to have a chance of hitting the egg before it disintegrates. Fem has a free study course that was really interesting about it all.
I wouldn't worry too much @quiffy it says possibility of a deficiency rather than one for sure- main thing is you are clearly ovulating. Lots of things can affect temp readings- anything from your thermometer being calibrated slightly wrongly to fighting a cold etc.
If this month is a No go I might try the free trial too! Only wary as I saw a review saying someone struggled to cancel and got charged!

That’s really interesting, I never knew that. I wish it was more black and white! Well if I ovulated yesterday (25/1) hopefully I’ll be covered as we DTD 21/1, 23/1, 25,/ and 26/1... I literally couldn’t of done more lol

Testing very early but I think I have a faint pink line- at least one I can see without having to contort the stick!
Now have to get through the next 24/48 hours to see if I get a better line or if it's frer being frer

@Sammyclaire22 fingers crossed for you! How many dpo are you?

Eeek! Fingers crossed @Sammyclaire22!!!

oooo that's so exciting @Sammyclaire22! Everything crossed for you

In the cold light of day I'm now leaning towards it being an evap... there have been so many posts about them recently and I'm only 8/9dpo, just the bleed got me excited it might have been implantation like last time. Realistically its more likely a frer being a frer.
Have more frer arriving today (I've subscribed too!) So will see what happens!

Aw @sammyclaire22 you never know until AF arrives!

Quick question for anybody, my CM was watery/ stretchy yesterday and the previous day, and now today it’s more cloudy, glue like but still stretchy.. am I still ovulating?

Bfn today so assuming frer being frer! Still hopeful for this month but deflated tonight.

Not too sure about the cm sorry- mine always seems to be fertile ish then goes watery then sticky so I get confused as to what's normal compared to opks and bbt!

God I hate evap lines... makes my heart pause every time!

I can see something @Sammyclaire22 are you sure it's an evap line? Have you tried the one step strips? I've found them reliable and cheap.

It came up half an hour or more later so assuming so :(

@Sammyclaire22 I can defo see something, still hope and lots of time!

@LolaStanley1 I'm not great with CM. I've only seen EWCM a couple of times before. I always think CM is a bit of a myth so used evening primrose and preseed to help everything along.

Well I'm in total shock. I got this today. I kept smelling everything despite having a stuffy nose so gave it a try.

@quiffy that's amazing, congrats!!! So pleased for you!!! Looks like an october baby 😉

@lilice Yes! I've already told DH Halloween is a lovely name as a joke just to wind him up as Halloween freaks him out. Ill be happier once I get by AF dates (which is due to start tomorrow/Friday) and a darker line. But cant deny that Im very very excited.

Amazing news @quiffy!!! So pleased for you!!! How did you tell him?!

Thank you! Nothing fancy, I took a one step last night and thought I could see a line but I've never had a squinter so asked him. We agreed to try a frer in the morning. Thankfully I was awake before he went to work, so I did it and we waited to see if a line came up. We're both shocked and not sure whether to be happy yet. Spent so much time ttc and wanting to start ttc that I never really considered the next bit haha

Awww @quiffy congratulations!!

So glad it's happened for you!
The next bit is terrifying and daunting and crazy, but also exciting. I loved seeing my bump grow and all the little firsts!

My main advice would be to check out your local maternity hospital(s) in the next few months- I moved my care quite early on as I wanted a home birth and a different local trust had a specific team plus a better midwife led unit (and only 1/2 mile difference in journey time between the two!) Later on I had certain high risk issues that might have meant they wouldn't accept me!

Oooh thank you! Ill definitely check that out

@Sammyclaire22 did you have a homebirth like you wanted?

What do you guys think to the temp chart now? I had a play with it, trying make it flow better by placing some temps abnormal and then changed them back and it made me ovulation move from 25th to 26th!
