Conception: TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 3!!!

[butterfly5291]

Starting a new thread...

@butterfly5291 yeah my lack of temping means I’m not really sure what’s happening this month. It’s also possible today’s temp was just an anomaly. I’m not pinning my hopes on this month but will see what happens.

@Stabal@LT103 So i have put my data in excel (i LOVE excel) and I think the pattern is close enough to last month to assume I have ovulated on CD17 (today is CD19)
What do you think? Obviously need to wait to see if my temp stays up the next two weeks now!

Hi everyone hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. Don’t want to sound weird but I’ve actually been following your threads for a while 👀 but never mustered the courage to post as I was abit nervous! It’s so nice to have seen so many BFP and peoples journeys, and I’m also so sorry to hear about the MC and difficulties some of you have had! I’ve only been TTC for 5 months so still early on, cycles seem to be all over the place and very inconsistent, used OPKS last two cycles and this cycle also started to temp! I really hope you get some BFPs soon! 🤞🏼 xx

@GNKx hello!

Hi @Crayon7! Still can’t believe I’ve found the courage to join up and post!
How are you today?

@GNKx good thanks you? Where in the cycle are you?:) hope this will be your lucky cycle 🤞🏻

@Crayon7 I’m good thank you! I’m not too sure what’s happened this month tbh, I have been taking just folic acid for about 7 months and this last month I started taking wilkos own brand preg care and I think it’s messed up my cycle slightly! I’m currently on cd40.. I was away during my FW and ended up running out of OPKs and never actually got a strong positive. About a week after I came back and thought I would have been in my TWW I got quite a lot of EWCM but only dtd once so overall I think I’ve either ovulated late or not at all this cycle! I think I’m just going to wait for AF and really try to stick to OPKs and temping next cycle. How about you, where are you at in your cycle? xx

I am on cd21 and still waiting for peak and ovulation. It's frustrating as my cycles are 32-35 days so seems to drag.

Should get peak by tomorrow I hope. I worry now because I took primrose this month until ovulation maybe this messed up something dunno

Yes having longer cycles deffo makes the days drag out and feel so long! I hope you get your peak in the next few days 🤞🏼
I’ve read a lot of different things about how different vitamins can affect people differently so maybe, not too sure with evening primrose though! 🤯 I hope it doesn’t mess it up for you x

@GNKx hello! 👋🏻 I was the same, followed the thread for a while before plucking up courage to join!

@butterfly5291 wedding is on 9th Oct! 😬 I can’t wait! When is yours?

@LT103 glad you got your peak! 😊

I’m still waiting for my peak. CD12 today and the last couple of months I ovulated this day, but I think it’s going to be a bit later this month, maybe tomorrow or Sunday. Temps are still low at the moment.

Well I got a slight temp drop this morning so FF hasn't detected ovulation. I guess that means I probably haven't ovulated this month.
What happens to your cycle if you don't ovulate?
@Stabal @LT103 what has your temp done?

@crazycatlady1981 ours is the 15th so the week after you 👰🤵

I got peak yesterday morning and stronger again last night. Have stopped opk now. Temp drop this morning but to be honest I’ve done so few temps this month I’m not sure I can read much into it. I’ll keep going and see what’s happening
Oddly I had loads of spotting this morning. I sometimes get a tiny spot at ovulation which happened yesterday but this was more like af is coming sort of spotting. Think I’m having an odd month so will maybe just let this one pass and try again 😂

@butterfly5291 I thought from the excel data that it would have been ovulation too. Very strange. You might still have a bleed if you don't ovulate but usually you won't and it'll continue on until you do ovulate. My temp went up only slightly. OPKs came this morning so I done one and it's still sitting at high. Not a bloody clue what's happening. I guess us and @LT103 are all in limbo 😂

Also hello @GNKx! Never feel scared to post, it keeps us all (relatively) sane!

@LT103 are you just going to continue with temping and stop OPKs?
@Stabal yeah I'm totally confused too. Think I'll stop OPKs and just do temp. Given how much stress I've had this month this isn't surprising.

Yeah this month I’m planning to temp but not continuing opk now I’ve got my peak. What an odd month for everyone haha

Here's my chart with all the temps and then when I discard that high temp.. What do you think? I'll attach my OPK from this morning too. I'll do another when I get home from work

@Stabal hmm I would say keep testing on OPKs...you might still be due to ovulate. That line is way more than I've had.

Has anyone tried the SMEP (Sperm meets egg) plan? I'm thinking of doing it this month but have been getting negatives on my OPK's so far.

@butterfly5291 I don't normally get a line that dark after ovulation so I definitely don't think I have ovulated yet. Hopefully we both eventually do!

@Sjevin a few on here have tried SMEP. It's useless for me because I have a long cycle and ovulation day can vary a lot for me both for people with regular cycles it can be helpful

@Stabal I caved and did another test 🙈 not even the faintest line. I don't know how to stop thinking about it this month! Or how to deal with my cycle data...how does fertility friend deal with no ovulation?
Did you test again?

@crazycatlady1981 hey! Any sign of your peak yet?
@Stabal hey, thank you it feels good to actually be talking about it with people!
I’ve had cramps last few days so I think AF will be here tomorrow

@butterfly5291 yeah I done one at 5ish and one about 15 minutes ago before I begin to dilute my urine with wine 😂 so top is morning, middle afternoon and bottom just now. They all look fairly similar. Really annoying. FF will just keep going on the same cycle until you either ovulate or bleed. If you bleed without ovulating it'll be counted as an anovulatory cycle with isn't uncommon and perfectly normal to happen every so often especially when you're stressed so please don't panic if that happens. Hopefully if it does it's just a one off 🤞

@GNKx I'm so sorry you feel AF is coming. It never gets easier. How many DPO are you?
