August might be pact might be madness part 2

Hopefully can get all you in here

@89Ann I reckon about a week after ov. Definitely too early for any symptoms

Hey everyone,

please can i join? may be a little late in to the thread haha but i'm new to TTC and its very overwhelming!!
2nd attempt at 'trying' starting with OPK's this month and currently 1dpo or 3dpo (depending on apps) so just entering 2WW.
AF is due 01/09 :)

@Sansa87 I remember you having similar symptoms in the June thread so I can imagine it did get your mind thinking. I really have everything truly crossed for you.

@AMRose Welcome to the group. :)

I am finding things a bit tricky currently. So my period is 4 / 5 days late and BFN on FRER. My RHR has been dropping so I thought AF must be coming but still not here. My temperature is still high, went up today and my boobs are killing me. To cap it all off I woke up with thrush (which I think I may have had about once in my life). Sorry for the overshare. Normally my cycle ranges from 26-28 days and I am currently 37. I need to step away from Google as I keep diagnosing myself with different things. I really hope AF turns up soon as I am going a little crazy.

That sounds awful @Tigger1987

Google is a right bastard isn’t he. I hope oh never sees my search history. He would think I’m a crazy lady

@Tigger1987 I feel ya! Currently cd41 and no AF. I've had so much cramping the past 2 days though, i really thought it would have come by now. I've done 3 tests all bfn so just a waiting game...impossible to avoid Google though 🙄

Must be something in the air. I’m having an odd cycle too. I normally ovulate day 14 and 26-28 day cycle.
Currently day 17 with still a negative opk and no change to temp. Starting to see a little colour on opk so hopefully get peak in next few days. This will be a longer cycle for me though.
Plus poor oh stressing about work exams and if I’d ovulated at the weekend all would have been fine but if I don’t ovulate for a few days then I doubt we’ll even try this month.

@Sansa87 Can you imagine if they saw our search history!!

@MrsBtobe2020 I am so sorry that you are in the same position too. It is crap! Have you ever been this late before? I am considering going to the doctors if I make it to 7 days late but then in this current climate I just feel a bit silly.

@LT103 Your poor OH, exams are stressful. It is hard when your cycle suddenly changes for no apparent reason! Really hope you get your peak soon. :)

@Tigger1987 I’m hoping it holds off til the weekend. More chance of making use of it 🤣🤣

@Tigger1987 I don't know really what my cycle lengths are, I've been on the pill for longer than I actually had normal periods for and I can't remember what they used to be like. Honestly was 100% sure AF had come this afternoon, got home from work and nothing! Can't be bothered with the docs yet, theyl say it's cos I've come off the pill..

Do any of you ladies measure BBT?

This is my first full cycle temping and I have seen a definite temp shift for 3 days so app has confirmed ovulation and it ties in with OPKs and CM 🥳

My temps are low though. Coverline is 36 but i had some days as low as 35.7 🤔

Temp is now 36.3-4 in last few days

I forgot how much I hated the 2ww.

I hate all the waits involved in pregnancy 😂

I'm about to ovulate within week and my temps are low too.

Last month my lowest temp was 35.29 and my max was 36.45.

The first pic is skin temp, this one is oral. Not much difference for me between 2

Thanks @claireb707 everywhere I have seen average pre ov temps above 36 but I should stop fretting! I think I have got better this month with oral measuring technique as started middle of last cycle and I kept fidgeting so hoping my temp stays consistent for this luteal phase!

Everyone is different, though the majority of people will fit into the average, there will always be people outside that range 😁

@89Ann my temp sits around 35.8 pre ovulation and about 36.3-36.5 post ovulation. Or thereabouts. Everyone is different and lots of factors will affect it so wouldn’t compare to other people’s cycle, more just looking at the pattern on your own

@LT103 thank you, yes I am learning that. I was excited to see my temp rise this week 😂 who would have thought it haha

I’m so tempted to do my bbt but I just feel it looks too complicated or I’d screw it up.

I get up for work during the week at around 5am, but my two days off, this girl sleeps in 😂

Hi @Sansa87 i thought that but i find it useful. I get up at 5.20am and have been setting alarm also at weekends and shoving it in my mouth and going back to sleep. It syncs with my phone and saves last temp so it’s ok. But... it is another thing to over analyse. If we are not successful this month I plan to pull back on all the testing and tracking xx

I'm out this month, finally back to cd1! After a 42 day cycle it was about time...
Does anyone have suggestions for when you should start doing opks if your cycle lengths haven't been regular? Do I just sort of go from day 10 til I see something?

@MrsBtobe2020 great news!! 42 days is crazy!! I feel like I’m heading towards it! I’m on CD 31 now and I’ve never been this long before! I had a bfn sun and yesterday so I guess it’s just a waiting game!! Xx

Evening ladies! Can’t believe some of the wacky cycles going on here, the waiting must be awful.

@89Ann That’s exactly why I don’t track BBT because it’s something else to obsess over. That and I love my sleep too much to get up early consistently!

CD8 here and not much going on TTC wise. We moved house yesterday and I am EXHAUSTED. Probably won’t keep up with the OPK’s and stuff as we have so much to do with the house that I probably won’t remember!

Hope you’re all okay. Hope you’re feeling a bit better now @kirinm?

@89Ann Your chart looks great, a good temperature shift. I also run quite a low temperature before ovulating, normally about 35.9 or less. Then it dips before ovulation and normally only rise to about 36.4 - 36.5.

@MrsBtobe2020 I am so glad you finally have some closure, what a cycle! Sorry no advice about when to do OPKS but CD10 sounds a good day to start.

@stickytoffeepud1991 Welcome to the waiting game! I have my fingers crossed for you. When do you think you will test next?

@MrsB2019x Congratulations on the house move! Have a fantastic first night in your new home. Sounds like you need a well deserved rest.

So I felt a lot more positive today as I scrutinized by BBT chart and convinced myself that the dip at 5DPO was actually ovulation and if that is the case then AF should be here today but still nothing. So back to waiting. I am really grateful to be able to speak to all of you as my OH is lovely but doesn't really get why I am so anxious about it all.

@MrsB2019x thanks for asking. I'm actually still in hospital. This evening I have managed to eat something which is a massive improvement. My temp is still around 40C but I've been having fluids by drip for the last 24hrs and I feel like that's helping.
