@LT103 your temp is still high though. When would AF normally be due?

Jadeb1995 · 04/09/2020 08:25

@LT103 your temp is still high! I feel like AF is going to come any minute also, I started spotting at 9 DPO last month and I'm 9 DPO today as I ovulated earlier

LT103 · 04/09/2020 08:29

@Jadeb1995 your temp hasn’t fallen yet either. I would also normally spot from 8 or 9 dpo and I’m 11dpo just now (12 on different app)

@butterfly5291 I’m usually spotting by now with af due tomorrow or maybe Sunday. It’s never later than 13dpo and I always spot a few days forst. However this has generally been a very odd cycle

Jadeb1995 · 04/09/2020 08:41

Fingers crossed for us @LT103

This might sound like a stupid question but does your luteal phase change? It's only my 2nd month tracking ovulation, and I ovulated 2 days earlier than last month so would that mean my period would come earlier or will my luteal phase just be longer?

mrsgtobe97 · 04/09/2020 08:59

Took a Tesco test last night, thought I seen something faint then just put it in a drawer, looked at it this morning and it looks like this?! Surely an evap?

@jadeb1995 my ovulation dates change each month and so does my luteal phase. My luteal phase is nearly always 12-14 days since I've been tracking but one month it was only 10.

@mrsgtobe97 I can definitely see something but if it didn't come up in the timeframe I wouldn't trust it if I were you. How many DPO are you?

Stabal · 04/09/2020 09:25

@LT103 @Jadeb1995 good charts! 🤞
@Jadeb1995 your luteal phase usually doesn't change but a day off isn't uncommon here and there. If you're normally 14 days you should still be 14 days again. If you're finding it changing by 2 days or more each month then ovulation date is more likely to be wrong

Stabal · 04/09/2020 09:27

@mrsgtobe97 those tesco tests are awful for lines so I wouldn't trust that faint I'm afraid, especially when it's there outside the time frame

mrsgtobe97 · 04/09/2020 09:50

FRER done just now, don't know whether to trust it as the Superdrug one I done at same time was negative and it was meant to be 10miu

TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 2!!
LT103 · 04/09/2020 10:47

@Jadeb1995 your luteal phase is usually the same. I normally ovulate day14 and af comes cd26/27. This cycle I didn’t ovulate til d21/22 so I’m now here on cd33 Still waiting!!

@mrsgtobe97 I can def see a line on that frer 🤞🤞🤞

Crayon7 · 04/09/2020 10:54

@mrsgtobe97 see it!:)
I would trust it I think

My temps down although still above coverline. No sign of AF just yet but surely on her way

mrsgtobe97 · 04/09/2020 10:58

I find it so hard to trust these FRER's as I've had faint bfp's before that disappear, do you reckon it would show on a clear blue weeks estimator digital?

Crayon7 · 04/09/2020 11:05

Clear blue has weeks digital and early digital. I would try early maybe if you have one.

Stabal · 04/09/2020 11:59

@CAG14 you don't temp do you? I would honestly recommend it if your luteal phases are rocky, it will show when exactly you've ovulated. You could be missing the right days for DTD without realising!

@mrsgtobe97 I see it on that frer today! 🤞🤞 The digital weeks indicator isn't as sensitive so I'd leave that for a few days but I think that's a BFP!

CAG14 · 04/09/2020 12:13

@stabal no I don't but keep meaning to. I would say they are usually the same 12-14 days and probably actually the same day because I go off when I get a peak on clearblue which doesn't mean I ovulated on that day as once you get the peak it means ovulation 24-36 hours. There was one month it appeared to be 10 days though and i reckon that is when I messed up my ovulation and it was actually earlier.

OP posts:
Stabal · 04/09/2020 12:18

@CAG14 I would give it a go! Would be interesting to see how long after your positive OPK you actually ovulate. For women people it's as long as 2 days

Livvi2021 · 04/09/2020 12:33

Hahaha the dreams chats have made me chuckle! I've had so many weird dreams in the past. Sexy dreams about celebrities and strangers and friends ha! Never the DH though lol. Also have had a lot of dreams that I'm trying to poop/pee and people are watching me so I can't lol (had one about cork colleagues watching me poop once and don't know why but I told them and they were in hysterics) became a bit of an office joke lol.

Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting this month, some of the signs are looking really hopeful. Sending lots of baby dust your way! ✨✨

Took another test this morning...don't think even DH can dispute this one...I got my BFP! 😁😁😁

TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 2!!
stepmumSW5 · 04/09/2020 12:34

@mrsgtobe97 I also think it's a bfp! I actually prefer the line tests to digital but as @Stabal said wait a few days x

LT103 · 04/09/2020 12:43

@Livvi2021 great news!! I knew that was a line!!! How exciting for you both!! And I’m killing myself laughing at the poop dreams 😂😂

Stabal · 04/09/2020 12:47

@Livvi2021 omg yesss! I knew it was a BFP! Congratulations 🥰

Jadeb1995 · 04/09/2020 12:50

@mrsgtobe97 & @Livvi2021 congratulations ladies!!! How many DPO are you both?

Stabal · 04/09/2020 13:01

I have horrendous clots today and the pain is increasing. I'm starting to think my BFP was actually a chemical. 💔

mrsgtobe97 · 04/09/2020 13:03

I've taken a cheapie IC, Superdrug test and Tesco test both bfn so thinking it was a fluke! I don't trust those FRER's after last time it was positive then disappeared

mrsgtobe97 · 04/09/2020 13:04

@Stabal

I have horrendous clots today and the pain is increasing. I'm starting to think my BFP was actually a chemical. 💔
Feel for you, I had one in April and it was so so heavy and awful, I hope it goes away quickly so you can try again ❤️
Livvi2021 · 04/09/2020 13:04

Thank you everyone ❤️

@LT103 haha I know right! Glad I gave you a giggle 😊

@Jadeb1995 I believe I'm around 13 days dpo. Used the ovulation sticks a bit too late but I felt ovulation over that weekend (my app was wrong grrr)! We also used pre-seed for anyone interested. I read really good reviews and seems to be good for us too. Also both taking pre conception vitamins and stopped drinking and began healthy eating!
