Let’s start with us and add others if they pop up on the other thread. Hopefully March is our month and we get a Mother’s Day BFP 🤞🏼
Cd1 for me!

@Cakelaur the app is called Femometer and it’s nice and clear to use! Gives advice and everything 😌 fingers crossed it works ok x

@Cakelaur sorry what are your signs of low progesterone?
I also had a missed miscarriage last year.. can you show me the progesterone cream you got please x

This is the link. But please please please do you research into it.

I'm still waiting for ovulation! No sign of a positive opk or a peak. 8 days of high so far! 🙈 had a night off last night! Ewcm seems to have gone. Usually I'd get a peak a couple of days after I first see ewcm Clearly not this month.

TWW here I come!!!

Hubby didn’t want to DTD last night 😔 so I’m hoping that DTD Sunday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday will do the trick! Might try for another round tonight just in case the egg is a bit slow this month!

Hi Ladies

Coming over from the February bus. TTC1 over a year trying with a break of 3 months in the middle due to an ectopic.

Having a weird cycle this month, last cycle was 25 days (never happened before) now on CD 16 normally ov CD14 have had no signs this month until yesterday went from a faint line to peak on OPK in matter of hours, so strange. Based on this I reckon I’ll ovulate today. Have been DTD every 2nd day inc yesterday so will do another two days!

Best of luck to everyone!

I had an absolute nightmare last night! Was the start of our DTD marathon, not due to ov untill Tuesday so we used a normal lube. After, when I went to put the lube away I realised my DH had picked the wrong bottle out of my side draw.. he has used a heavily perfumed body moisturiser!!! I know it sounds funny but im now worried that im going to get terrible thrush and not be able to DTD when its most important or that the moisturiser will just somehow make 'up there' not a nice place for sperm to survive for the next few day.
They are large pump bottles and almost identical... nooooooo!!!
Fuming.

@girlmummy25 oh babe, if it's not stinging you at all. I imagine it's probably fine. Did he use loads? Just switch to the sperm friendly lube tonight and hopefully it will level it out.

@Twittwoo2020 welcome to the madhouse! Sorry to hear about your ectopic. I'm waiting for the elusive peak!! Hopefully it will happen over the weekend. Otherwise I'm worried this is a wasted month.

@KazMumTo2 so exciting!! Sounds like you hit loads of days. Well done!

@Cakelaur thank you hun x
I’ve done some research and I don’t think I’ve got low progesterone cos my luteal phase is 13 days. I am really considering baby aspirin but I keep reading conflicting advice online on whether to try it or not. Have you had any experience with this? x

@girlmummy25 oh no...I agree that if it didn’t sting u then it’s probably ok! Hopefully you’ll be ok and can get back to your DTD marathon! Try to laugh about it and hopefully it will lighten the mood and take the pressure of TTC!

🤞🏻 for us all x

@Cakelaur 8 days of high??!!! Omg lol. Wat are you gonna do? Keep dtd? Honestly I was hoping to keep going till tomorrow but OH is not saying he’s not sure he can even do today. So I hope we’ve done enough

For any one who wants a laugh... heres the bottles.

@girlmummy25 fair play...u can see where the mistake came from lol x

@Sussexgirlie5 I do aspirin from 1dpo. Just one tablet a day 75mg. I suffer from pre eclampsia, so my consultant puts me on it from my 8 week booking app anyway. I stop once af shows. Yeah, I only have a 10 day LP and I spot from around 7dpo.

We've only done Wednesday and Thursday night so far.... so I'm ok, gonna go tonight, and see if maybe my peak comes over the weekend. General plan is gonna be two in a row, then one night off, until peak. I just hope it's soon! 🤞🏻

You guys have had a good run of it babe. And with your peak on Thursday, you've more than likely already ovulated.

@girlmummy25 definitely similar... and mid session, Noone's gonna be turning the light on to check the label.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 spoke too soon. Just went and looked at my opk from earlier and we're almost at peak!!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Cakelaur Woop woop let’s all get ready for this 2WW 😳

Just had this message from my app! Now I’m really confused!

Luckily if I did ovulate on 24th we DTD on peek!!! 20/21/23/24/25 so...tonight’s just for fun and then start my 2WW yoga!

Why is it all so confusing?!?

Confused. Opks are taking ages to darken. Do you discard them at 30mins? Or longer? This last one I checked at 10mins and it was pale. Went back after an hour or so and it was dark. Did another one an hour or so ago and it was faint after 10mins. I'll check it again once I get home.

@Cakelaur my kits say to check between 3-5 mins...what do your instructions say to do? X

@KazMumTo2 so usually these one step cheapies, I'd check within 10 mins. But this batch seems to be almost blank for ages.

It says read before 10mins and discard after 30. But I took one and it was totally blank, then suddenly about an hour later it's almost peak.

@Cakelaur maybe best to read at 30 mins then! Have u got the Femometer app? It uses intelligent recognition to give u a high/low/peak with a percentage result too! I’d def recommend! U can get the Femometer test strips too (Amazon) fairly cheaply for a whole batch!

@Cakelaur if in doubt get the clear blue packs (I ordered 20) which are digital and it gives u a blank circle for low flashing smiley for high or solid smiley for peak! I think I paid £20 for a batch of 20!

Hi everyone, hope it's okay join in! Got my period today and going to start ttc number 2 this month. I already have a 21 month old daughter who we were lucky enough to conceive in cycle 2 last time, so hoping it will be equally quick this time! I'm 36 so a bit worried it might be harder though, plus I'm definitely not as fit and healthy as I was back then! All that lockdown food and booze :-/

I'm going to be pulling my coil out later, wish me luck!

@Noodella18 welcome! Think lockdown has got us all overweight and over sensitive! 🤞🏻 You conceive as quickly as last time x

Weird! I'm back to really faint lines again! Tested every couple of hours today... 🤷‍♀️
