Entering the TWW with BBT charts

[Cakelaur]

I FINALLY got my rise! Positive opk was 3 days later than usual and ovulation seems later than usual too after the peak! 🙈

BUT I'm in the TWW officially!! Who's with me?! I plan to analyse everything and I'll probably test early with cheapies for a laugh! No point in pretending I'll be calm and controlled throughout this TWW!!

Officially 3rd month TTC baby number 3. But had a few months before that "seeing what happens" DS 2 and DS 11months.

Anyone wanna embrace the crazy with me?!

Hi ladies!

Thank you @a1b2c3d4e5f6g7, hope you're doing okay & enjoying lots of treats this weekend!

@emmgrem enjoy your day! Good luck for tomorrow, your chart is looking promising 🤞

Yay for positive OPK @LemonDrizzle44! Get BDing! Lots of luck to you this cycle 🍀

I had my second flashing smiley this morning, cheapie OPKs are getting darker so hopefully ovulation is just around the corner! Lots of EWCM this time too so EPO must have been working it's magic 🥳

@LemonDrizzle44 ah yay!

@Natalie3387 great for you too!

CD3, I've started my soy isoflavones again, also got liposomal vit C and Ubiquinol so hopefully some of it does some good! Will also be getting some vitamins through grapes tonight :)

Hi girls, I’m CD12 - positive OPK yesterday and temp rise this morning so I’m starting the 2 week wait (well 16 day wait usually...). This is cycle 4 for me and got everything crossed - I know it’s early days but after 15 years trying not to get pregnant it’s weird to get your head around the fact this might not be easy!

@Hopefulhedgehog we're are similar stages with ovulation yesterday and a 16 day wait! When are you planning on testing?

Well I tested this morning 11DPO...

🥺🥺🥺

Congratulations @emmgrem - that's brilliant news!

@Emmgrem congratulations! I thought your chart looked good!

I’ve started bleeding today so am out ... considering taking a break from ttc it’s so draining.

@Cakelaur interesting you have had IB with all pregnancies. Hope you are feeling well!

Hi @LemonDrizzle44 long wait ahead. It feels longer each time! I’ll start testing with cheapies at 9/10DPO. If I start testing early it just brings me back down to earth which I think is better than 2 week build up waiting for AF and hoping for BFP. How about you?

@Hopefulhedgehog I hate having a longer LP. Especially when I've ovulated so late too. Will be a 34 day cycle. The last 2 cycles I've ovulated cd12. I will probably start testing 9/10dpo too depending on temps and symptoms but will hold out as long as I can.

@Emmgrem just seen your update!! Congratulations!!! That's a good line !

Congratulations @emmgrem! 🎉💐Lovely news! Have you had any early symptoms?

Sorry to hear @SlothMamaToBe. I hope you're doing OK 💞

I got my static smiley today on cd16 🎉 and had a temp dip this morning so hopefully should get a rise tomorrow 🤞 we DTD every other day since cd8 and then for the last 2 nights. Does anyone else's DP feel the pressure? I feel like all the romance and enjoyment goes out the window when TTC and can feel quite forced. I'm going to try again tonight but not feeling hopeful!

Shouldn't be too far behind you ladies @LemonDrizzle44 and @hopefulhedgehog 😊

@Natalie3387 great news your approaching ovulation too! Sounds like your covered with DTD. I wish my DP wasn't too bothered about DTD. He has a very high sex drive and wants to DTD every night (and sometimes mornings too). I keep saying he needs to let his swimmers recover 😂. We'd generally DTD 3-4 times a week normally but since using OPKs I can't be bothered until I'm nearing ovulation 😂.

Haha @LemonDrizzle44! That sounds exhausting, but definitely good when TTC! My partner is the opposite, he has a low sex drive (yes I know - never heard of!)

However, managed to DTD but he says definitely not tomorrow so hopefully have it covered🤞

@LemonDrizzle44 mine is the same as yours, we end up with twice a day in fertile window and it’s exhausting. Every time is an extra chance though I guess 🤷‍♀️

@Emmgrem congratulations, great news!

@SlothMamaToBe sorry, it’s so disappointing isn’t it. Hope you’re feeling a bit better after the weekend.

Hey girls, hope your all good??

Congratulations @Emmgrem that's amazing news 💝
Well aunt flo paid me a visit Saturday, I knew she was on her way as my temp dropped 😑 ahh well on to the next month x

Good luck everyone, I'm sure it's just around the corner for us all xx

Thanks all ❤️. Sorry to hear AF came for you too @Drinksometeawithme .
Feel so fed up, been over a year. I can’t have my day 21 bloods done this month as falls on bank holiday weekend again! My DP has booked his semen analysis appointment but it’s not til august !! So just have to carry on I guess but feel like giving up as feel there really must be something wrong 😑. Sorry to be a downer.

Sorry to hear you feel this way @SlothMamaToBe, it really does start to take its toll. I can't say I know how you feel but I do understand how frustrating and emotional it can get.
My DP and I split up last year after trying for a long while, it just took over our whole relationship. We had some time apart and then 2 months after we got back together, I conceived. I know it didn't have our happy ending as it ended in miscarriage but I really did think it happened because we were relaxed and TBH wasn't really thinking about TTC.

Sending you lots of positive thoughts 💐

Thank you for your kind words @Natalie3387
Sorry for being so miserable , you’re right it does take it’s toll. I spent years as a single parent to DD and had come to terms with not having another child but then I met DP, who is just wonderful and changed my life completely - we both want this more than anything, it’s so hard when you want something so bad but it seems so far out of reach.
I’m really sorry about your miscarriage 💜 - it sounds like you had a tough time of it.

You're welcome @SlothMamaToBe that's what we are all here for, to support each other and it does bring comfort knowing we are all in this together 🌸

Just remember, it's happened before - your body can get pregnant & you're on your way to seeking advice if it doesn't happen in the meantime (fingers crossed it does for you)

Thank you, it has been a difficult few months but trying to stay positive, it will happen 😊

@SlothMamaToBe sorry to hear you can't have your bloods done this month. It's not nice having to wait especially when you just want answers.

@Drinksometeawithme sorry AF arrived for you.

@Emmgrem @Cakelaur how are you both doing??

I'm not sure what my chart is doing this month. I'm 4dpo and have had the same temperature almost (36.40-36.42) over the past 4 days. Usually I have more of a rise and am 36.50-36.60 by 4dpo 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s still over the cover line @LemonDrizzle44 so maybe just a more gradual rise this month. I had a weird spike before ovulation not sure what’s going on there... this 2WW is really dragging already

@Hopefulhedgehog yeah it's over the cover line 🤞🏻that's what I keep telling myself! I usually dip at 5dpo. Will have to see what happens. I really hate the TWW

Hi @LemonDrizzle44 and @hopefulhedgehog
I'm just a day behind you, 3dpo!
My temps have not risen much at all, which is a little worrying.
I got my crossed hair lines this cycle though. Last month they were dotted!

Wow @Natalie3387 that’s a big spike on day 8. I seem to get a sole a few days before O too, not sure why. Fingers crossed for a lucky cycle.

*spike not sole!
