TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

[FlorenceO]

Hello just a thread for people to hop onto and chat - let's hope we all get out bfp at the end of August or beginning of September 😬
Sending good luck to all xxx

@beckyBP I think it means tomorrow or possibly early Tuesday (depending on when you did the OPK) which is funny bc that's when I'm expecting to ov too!!

@beckyBP Oh sorry just saw you said you did the test this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️ So yeah, tomorrow I think 😊

just tried at home insemination and i'm due to ovulate in two days so may try again after a positive opk if the donor is happy to do so. hopefully will get a BFP 22nd (date i'll take a test as AF has never arrived that late). also fingers crossed it will have time to implant as it sometimes too soon. good luck to everyone!

Thank you @somanystars

Ah good luck @ellabars defo worth trying again if the donor is happy to!

@ellabars Good luck, hope it goes well for you! 😊

@somanystars thank you!!

@beckyBP thank you!! yes i hope i can do it again after the opk

This was the test result from my flashing smiley this afternoon (2pm ish). Reckon I should test again this evening, or wait til tomorrow morning?

@somanystars from my limited knowledge I would test again!

@somanystars do you scan it into Femometer?

@beckyBP I don't, I kind of thought you had to be using a certain brand of tests for Femometer to work!

@somanystars mine are cheapie amazon ones x

@beckyBP Ooh okay! Maybe try that next cycle if I'm still in a position to need it lol.

Just done another CBD, another flashing smiley 😩 Gonna test again tomorrow and then just accept that I've missed knowing the exact day haha! At least I know I'm covered anyway.

Love to join

Hmm, so just in the last hour or so I've noticed a bit of nipple sensitivity. Over the two cycles before we started TTC when I wasn't on any hormonal BC, I had the same thing around this time in my cycle and assumed it meant I'd ovulated. So seems like maybe I did miss my peak after all!

Decided to be bold and enter today as my ov day on Ovia lol. I'll still do one more CBD tomorrow morning but I'm reasonably sure now that I've ovulated!

@fanhair Hi, welcome 😊

@beckyBP

I'm all confused!

So this is the first month using OPKs. Done my 4th today and it shows nothing!

Flo says ovulation should be today
Femometer says tomorrow
Ovia doesn't specify.

Am I panicking prematurely?! I'm CD 12

I had some similar to these and found they were very unreliable and never showed a peak

I got some different ones for this cycle
If you are in the Uk
Easy@home and use the Premom app
These have shown my peak clearly

Af should be due around 20th but may be off as I had an early miscarriage last month

Good luck to you all

Just got my static smiley this morning in the middle of writing a message on another thread saying I wasn't expecting to get one now hahaha. Typical!

So, does that mean ov is likely to be tomorrow?

@somanystars and @beckyBP even mine showed peak today with 125% at today noon 12 pm. And app says I will ovulate tomorrow so when is it better to do DTD? Today or tomorrow?

@Shinea Maybe both, just to be sure?

@somanystars yeah looks like :) it's my 4th cycle of TTC and already feels like forever in the loop of tracking, testing and on.

Hello all,
This is my first cycle using OPKs. Please help me with the results.
So it's showing peak today means I will be ovulating tomorrow?

@Shinea Yeah, they say 12-36 hours I think from when you get your peak :)

Looks like a few of us will be testing around the same time! Exciting!!

@Shinea @somanystars if you follow SMEP I think you should DTD today, tomorrow (ovulation day) the next, then a break and once again on the day after.. i think that's right xx

@beckyBP We're not following SMEP at the moment, I've seen a few people talking about it on here and it seems.... rigorous?? 🤣 Might look it up though!

We DTD Thur, Fri and Sun and I think we'll probably take a break today as OH wasn't feeling great earlier but I'm hoping to do it tomorrow as well for a final shot. Probably first cycle naivety but since I'm nearly at the end of FW now I keep walking around thinking, I might be pregnant! Not that I would be at this stage even if we had conceived but that doesn't stop me haha 😅
