1dpo today! Anyone want to join the wait?

[AnxiousAnnie86]

Hey ladies I am 1dpo today I believe! After finally getting a negative opk! After five positives!

Anyone want to join the symptom spotting crazy train? Xx

Sorry for all the messages I'm just catching up with the thread!

@lilypad88 is premom a good app? I've been using 3 apps to 🤣 which I've now cut down to 2! I like kindara. It does predict ovulation but as my cycles are all over I'm taking the predictions off at the moment
Do you use premom to scan your ovulation tests? Does it read them
Sorry millions of questions! X

@lydia771 that is long isn't it, I've just found out I've got endometriotic cysts on my ovaries which might also affect things & makes ov painful!

@Newbie9 I've just started to use it, it's good to see the pattern simultaneously of bbt and LH levels, I'll have to use it more to make up my mind about it, I use the One Step sticks from Amazon and it works but I bought the easy-at-home as these are the one recommended to use with it, they are also cheap on amazon, you can get a pack of 50 tests for lh and 20 tests for hcg for £15 so not bad. I'll see if that makes a difference.

I've never used Kindara, there is so many out there xD

@lilypad88 I use Femometer and fertility friend too.

How's everyone getting on? Still nothing to report from my end x

@Hopingtobelucky all good! My temp shot up today, was worrying that it wasn't rising but I think this confirms it 😁 my nipples are absolutely killing me so burny, sensitive and itchy I've never had that before.. my dog accidentally scratched my boob last night and it was so painful I was almost in tears 😂😂 how are you doing??

@lydia771 felt a bit bloated last night but not sure of that normal for me after ovulation- should really start keeping a note of the symptoms. Other than that nothing.
Yours sound promising, what date do you think you'll test? X

@lydia771 ah nice rise! 😃 definitely on the right path now ^^

@Hopingtobelucky not much, 6 dpo today, felt some twinges earlier on but other than that nothing, still early days, I really hate this wait....

@lydia771 looks fab!

I'm only 3-4 dpo nothing to report! Hope everyone is well xx

@Hopingtobelucky yep defo keep a note! I use the premom app it's so so good and you can add notes for each day so I'm trying to add everything I can.

App predicts I'm due AF 27th so I'll if she doesn't turn up I'll test 28th but knowing me I will not hold out at all! I've not got much hope as only just caught my peak with this crazy cycle not sure my DTD timing is great but you never know 🤞

When are you all testing? I hate TWW so much. Anyone else pester their DP with TWW symptom spotting etc? I feel like I really annoy mine but it's rubbish when you've got no one else to talk to in person about it! Trying to chill out this time haha.

@lydia771 mine are due around 22-23th but I'll probably start testing at 10dpo because I have a luteal phase on the short side, so around the 21th I'll test. Although I really want this month to hold back and wait to see if AF is coming 😬

I don't talk about symptoms with my partner, I actuallly keep it quite secretive in case it would be positive ^

Ahh that's a good question actually, if you were to get a positive how would you announce it to DP?? Would you wait foe the test together? Surprise?? I'm curious ^ I have no idea how I would tell him... 🤔

@lydia771 I'm due the same day but not testing this time unless she decides not to show. I usually end up testing the week before and after 4 cycles i think I'm going to change my approach. Only test if AF doesnt show when expected. Fingers crossed for everyone!x

@lilypad88 I asked my DP how he would want me to tell him and he said as soon as I found out, but if I do catch now I want to wait until his birthday first week of June but tbh he'd probably work it out anyway, I can't keep anything to myself 😂

@lydia771 hahaha yea, would be too much to hold although it would be an amazing birthday present! ^^

I'm just not good with surprises, I would give it away somehow 🤣

Yes, fingers crossed everyone! 🤞🏻🍀

Morning ladies hope everyone is doing well?

Anything to report?

I'm 6/7 dpo today temps still going up, but other then that nothing to symptom spot like nothing at all :( boobs normally start getting sore about five days before AF, so they would come in a few days anyway. I really don't feel like I have any faith that it will happen for us this month, normally I'm symptom spotting like mad and being sure I am, not this month :( x

My temp has dropped again today! Is that normal? 😫 I thought it kept rising or atleast would stay as high as yesterday

Hi @lydia771 are you taking your temp at the same time of day? Also without getting out of bed?

@AnxiousAnnie86 same here, it keeps rising but nothing much to report... I feel the same tbh... I don't know if it's because we both had a hell of a journey to get to ovulation but I feel like we just didn't conceive this month... too much stress because of that, timing not the best, etc. It would literally be a miracle if it worked this month 🙄 don't have much hopes lol

@lydia771 yes, make sure you take your temp properly, also it can happen on one day, as long as it doesn't keep going down it's fine

Ladies, I've attached my BBT. I don't seem to get many replies but worth a try. I dont understand why my temp is going down? Also ovulation hasn't been confirmed according to femometer app?? Could it be late or double ovulation??

@Suki2020 yeah always as soon as I wake before I get out of bed and roughly the same time, a few minutes difference.

Sometimes I wake up and I'm hot and other days I'm cold, dependant on the house temperature/weather - surely that would make a difference?

@Spinksy9 it's really hard to tell tbh... not enough data, it hasn't been confirmed because you don't have any temp before that so the app can't calculate or see a shift pattern. You'll have to be patient and see what happens tomorrow, if it keeps going down, it's most likely that af is coming :/ but again everyone is different, there is no perfect pattern so...

@lydia771 20min is quite a big difference in bbt, you should take it at 8am on point every morning as our temp tend to raise by 0.10 every 30min apparently

@Spinksy9 don't worry too much as long as your temp stays above the cover line, as far as I know it's normal for it to fluctuate. Have you had any differences in amount of sleep, waking times, illness? That can all affect it xx

@lydia771 and yes difference in temperature in your bedroom can play a part too

@lilypad88 @Newbie9 I didnt get the thermometer until my ovulation time which is annoying. AF is due on the 27th. I set my alarm for 7.30am every morning and then take it. Sleep hasn't been a problem. But I usually lay awake until my alarm goes off, so maybe I'll set it earlier? CM has gone back to egg white?! I'm so confused! I'm worried I'm not fertile!!

@lilypad88 I did have the fan on last night? Would that make a difference?
