Hi everyone who read this! My typical cycle is 34-37 days long but everyone I talk to seems to have shorter cycles. I'm looking for others like myself who have long cycles and are ttc :) we are trying for our first baby x

@xoJellyBean yeah, I think I got a high 74 then a few hours later got a peak 200.

@Newbie0818 keep testing

Good luck girls!

@Pol96 the rumours are true about a positive opk and being pregnant 🤣

Pol96 · 03/06/2020 19:30

@xoJellyBean I know! So if you ever run out of hpts try an opk! 😂

xoJellyBean · 03/06/2020 22:04

They both look the same?

@xoJellyBean I'd say the bottom one is slightly darker.. Is that the one you just done?

xoJellyBean · 03/06/2020 22:08

Yeah it is! But it's reading lower on Femometer 😖😂 @Pol96

Pol96 · 03/06/2020 22:29

@xoJellyBean that's really odd! Have you tried with the torch on?

xoJellyBean · 03/06/2020 22:49

@Pol96 yeah I always do, just incase lol 🙈 who knows! I think I'll ovulate tomorrow xx

Another bbt question 😂 had a temp rise this morn so what does that mean?

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 07:56

@xoJellyBean I think after a temp dip, if you have a ride for 3 days in a row that means you’ve ovulated?

Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 07:57

*rise even

xoJellyBean · 04/06/2020 08:05

@Newbie0818 thanks :) I've got negative opk test this morning too x

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 08:40

@xoJellyBean you’ve definitely had your peak then! Fingers crossed for your tww 🤞🏼✨

I have no idea what my temp is doing 😅 I still have loads of watery cm. the “X’s” are where we’ve DTD so hopefully we’ll watch it when it happens if we carry on like that 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pol96 · 04/06/2020 09:17

Omg @xoJellyBean!! Like newbie said If your temp stays up for 3 days then you've ovulated! Good luck with the TWW! X

@Newbie0818 you're definitely covering your bases! Keep an eye out for ewcm, I had it for 2 days and got a positive opk on the second day.. That was the only time we dtd in the fw! X

Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 10:45

@pol96 ooh will do!

xoJellyBean · 04/06/2020 18:20

Another negative opk so my peak is over - does this make me 1dpo? 🤣

OP posts:
Pol96 · 04/06/2020 19:48

@xoJellyBean yep! You ovulated yesterday I believe as you had a temp rise today!

Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 19:53

@xoJellyBean yep!!

I don’t think I’m far behind- they’re getting darker!

xoJellyBean · 04/06/2020 20:10

@Pol96 never been so sure before. Thanks for your advice about temping :) x

@Newbie0818 yay!! What CD are you? & are you using Femometer to read yours too? X

OP posts:
Pol96 · 04/06/2020 20:50

@xoJellyBean you're very welcome! It's nice to have the reassurance isn't it? Good luck with your TWW! X

@Newbie0818 ooh that's looking good! X

Newbie0818 · 04/06/2020 21:30

@xoJellyBean I’m on cd23 so if they keep getting darker I’ll be thrilled! I don’t use femometer, I just have a home made piece of paper chart 😂 I figured what with tracking everything else, as long as I DTD every day for a while I should be fine haha

xoJellyBean · 04/06/2020 22:50

@Pol96 I'm gonna be nervous taking my temp in the morning though lol x

@Newbie0818 I'm CD 20 so we are really close to each other :)! X

OP posts:
Newbie0818 · 05/06/2020 08:01

@xoJellyBean yay! What was your temp this morning? Mine rose, but that doesn’t make sense with the opk’s? I had quite a rubbish night sleep tossing and turning so maybe it’s that?

Long Cycle girls TTC :)
Pol96 · 05/06/2020 08:47

@xoJellyBean yeah it made me very nervous too.. I stopped taking mine a few days after my bfp because I got super stressed by any dip lol x

@Newbie0818 you had quite a dark one at 7pm last night, you may have peaked after that and ovulated late last night early morning.. See if it stays up and do a few more opks to see what they say. As long as you had a couple of hours sleep it should be fine x
