Thought I'd best start a new thread. I'm. It great at keeping track of the conversation all but i don't want to loose track of you all 💕
@Franklydear @MrsEmilyB @SmileyT @Juno231 @babyg123

@Littlepeas2 wow, congratulations!! X

So I’ve only been charting it for a whopping 5 days, does this look normal? Cd 5 today.

I wake up several times after dawn randomly so I can’t set a consistent alarm, I’ve just been doing it the first time I wake up in the morning.

@MoonW smiley is right ! Dtd this morning !

@newbie0818 I have no idea! Good luck!! Xx

@mummayoung - Hello and welcome

@CaramelTart23 - as @jaxs23 said, some peaks are really short! This cycle mine was 5 hours. Blink and you've missed it! But it doesn't mean you're not ovulating necessarily, and DTD every other day means you're covered.

@MoonW - jump him this morning! Although I still reckon you ovulated on CD13 - my temps are slow to rise too sometimes!

@newbie0818 it's really difficult to tell with such little data! I have started setting my alarm for 6am to try and make sure I do it at the same time, although today I woke up at 4:30 so did it then (but it'll be inaccurate). Keep at it and a pattern should become apparent. Your app should hopefully set a cover line when it has more data and that helps in telling if things are off

@mrsemilyb it’s so annoying as I never wake up at the same time and then keep waking up and falling back to sleep again. I’ll see how it goes I guess. The most important thing is that we’re DTD every other day so hopefully that’s enough!

@SmileyT @Mrsi2020 @MrsEmilyB thank you all. I’m hopping your right about it being on CD13 because all the physical symptoms point to that🤞

@Newbie0818 it would be hard to say with only 5 days, but if you’re CD5 and still bleeding I find my temp jumps about a bit until a day or so after I’ve stopped. It is difficult, I set my alarm for 6am every morning and just do it then, but you can’t help it if you wake up during the night etc and I’d say just keep going. Sounds good though if you’re DTD every other day and will make sure you’re covered

@newbie0818 you know when you had the peak opk when you thought your period was due but you were actually ovultiing very late, how long did you get those peak readings for?
I've done another opk this morning and it's just as dark as yesterdays, so it's 2-3 days of peak opk - it could be ovulation but I've never seen a peak for so long... But I've also done some iv hcg tests and they're all negative. I'm currently 13dpo.

Feeling really deflated this morning ☹️

I meant ic hcg tests* (not iv)

Also I'm cd 51 today 🙈

@Newbie0818 maybe try the temp adjuster?

Girls I think my ex's wife is pregnant and it hit me right in the feels to hear it. Very silly of me but it's the millionth pregnancy around me and it irrationally annoys me that he got there first 🙊

@Sausage1990 that sucks, I would have said try a hcg :(

@juno231 that would annoy me too. It’s natural, you want what it seems everyone else is having so easily. :( it’s crap , no one knows the struggles. I also think say if someone said to me “you’re ttc, you will be pg in November” I would cope with that, it’s the unknown ! Hope you’re okay! Xxx

I'm freaking out a little. Did a test yesterday vvvf line. This is today. It's got darker. I'm 10dpo not due on for 3-5 days! What do you all think? X

@aimy1 that is a bfp! Congrats! Xx

@Mrsi2020 it does suck. I'm at a loss. But better DTD again today/tonight just incase... The roller-coaster continues.

Awww congratulations @aimy1

@mrsi2020 it was like this in march but I had a chemical so I'm really trying to not get my Hope's up. I've just ordered a couple more frer tests which will come tomorrow so will wait for my fmu on tuesday. I'm so nervous x

Does anyone know when you start to get a dip in BBT before AF comes?

@Hopefulmummie here’s my chart for last cycle which is the first one I’ve done fully.

Try again!

@Aimy1 ahhh congratulations! 🥳💕

@Aimy1 congratulations! 🥳

@Aimy1 congratulations! 🥳

@Hopefulmummie I’ve attached my chart from last cycle where you can see the big dip the day AF started

@MrsRSS I too had a BFN this morning at 10DPO. I am going to test again on Wednesday. It’s such torture testing and seeing that snowy white square isn’t it 😞

@MoonW thank you. Is it normally only the day before AF?

@aimy1 congrats!! What cycle was this again? What did you do differently this time? 😁

@Mrsi2020 thank you, glad I'm not a crazy outlier 🙊.

@Hopefulmummie my dip in BBT always comes the day before AF.

@Aimy1 congratulations 💕
