Hello everyone! I hope I’m okay jumping on this thread, you seem like my kinda people - appreciated the dog pic too keep those coming.

First time TTC and literally just beginning the whole process but I am a nerd for all things temps and ovulation so I’m v. Excited just for that, never mind the possible baby - also a massive Googler .

So early in the process, had copper IUD removed yesterday and I’m right around ovulation. Not expecting anything this cycle, but will certainly give it a go .

It’s great to read about everyone’s experiences and my fingers are crossed for you all 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣💕 that image. What ARE you like! I can just imagine you saying that 🤣 I remember the reading! It was amazing and your others said August but that could be the 5 month scan. Just keep doing the baby dance![/quote]
Got to try my best! I think I'm all BD out this month but I'm tempted to for good measure at the weekend for the fun of it! Hot tubs still up and I got a bottle of rhubarb and custard flavoured gin for my birthday which I'm dying to get my hands on! Last day of work today before the weekend and I couldn't be much better, I had about 3 hour sleep last night so god knows if my BBT is normal this morning because I couldn't settle at all 🙈 hope your okay hunny! Xx

@lucea87

Following on from my post yesterday about my BBT....I told a lie! I was just looking at my app again and I do have interpreted (hadn't spotted it!) for my BBT - this looks much less messy but also looks like it's going's down.

Let us know how you get on today hunny, we're wanting your BFP all the way so fingers and toes crossed 🙌🏻🌈🤞🏻😘

@els10

I'm place marking so I can stick around to see all these BFP's roll in over the next month or two!! Xxxxx

You're one of our graduates ofc you're welcome to stick around, hoping you can see many more of us do the same! 🥰🌈🤞🏻

Only done 3 tests, so maybe tomorrow they’ll start getting darker again. I was thinking about doing 2 per day but it’s probably best to stick with doing one as soon as I wake.

In other news I bought a conception reading from pregnancyunicorn (saw someone had done one on the last thread, can’t remember who though) hopefully the reading will be correct! 🙏
Good luck to everyone and hopefully BFP’s all round!🤞🏻 X[/quote]
Ooooo I'm partial to a reading myself, what did yours say hunny? Anything of significance for you to look out for or anything like that :')?

@Sunshinexx95

Hi guys I hope I can join you ❤️ I'm trying for baby#2 and I have a 6 month old baby girl already. It took us almost 6 months to get pregnant with her and we thought we want her to have a brother or sister soon. So we started Tcc early. My ovulation test showed positive yesterday and today so we dtd twice. I don't have high hopes to conceive first month ttc.. :)

Welcome darling 🌈🙌🏻🤞🏻 fingers and toes crossed you have a nice smooth easy TTC journey, I feel like mines going in comparison of driving over speed bumps at 10 mph as I'm cycle 7 at the moment 😆

Welcome hunny :) anyone can join in, there is a small print requirement that you have to be apart of the dr google gang so I think you passed the test with that one :)! I'm partial to a dog picture or any animal picture so feel free to share! It seems like so long ago when I came off contraception myself! Fingers and toes crossed you have a smooth journey 🥰🙌🏻🌈🤞🏻

No BFP cos I've got my days wrong by taking femometer as gospel (thanks @CycloGoose for helping me work this out!) my peak was Tuesday last week, so probably didn't actually ovulate until Wednesday or Thursday. But femometer takes your peak as ovulation. So I'm actually only 8/9DPO 🤦🏼‍♀️

Welcome everyone! I feel like I feel every bit of everyone else's highs and lows on here, I'm a sensitive Sally 🤣

Good luck to everyone this month. Xx

@lucea87 that’s frustrating! Glad you mentioned this, I would’ve been in the same boat otherwise. Strange that it counts peak as ovulation?!

Oooh @KatieLooLa exciting times! I've got quite into the fertility readings haha. Just waiting to see if first one I had comes true this month!
@lucea87 my app keeps changing mine and when I've been having short LP it completely changes it and says it's another date but the temps don't match or my ovulation sticks 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️ I thought these things were meant to make it easier 😂
@kaylsd good luck with the extra BD! I'm looking forward to a orange gin at the weekend too! Got Monday off so going to try and do some bits in the garden but I've never really done gardening before 😂 god knows what I'll be doing!
@CycloGoose how you doing this morning? At least we're ever so closer to Tuesday!
Welcome @Halpmer and @Sunshinexx95! I'm sure you'll fit right in! Fingers crossed this is your month🤞🏻

I've just got on the scales and my BMI is 30.0, lost 11.5kgs since new year and I'm very nearly just overweight instead of obese 😂 not sure it's something to shout about but I'm happy with it! 🙈 still on static circle this morning but only CD11 so seems about right!

Happy Friday everyone!

2 BFNs this morning with cbed and cheapy ones I shall wait for arrive to arrive!
Good luck to anyone testing today xxx

day late 🤞🏻

AF to arrive *
Happy Friday!

8dpo this morning and have my usual AF style cramps today so not feeling hopeful. FF says AF due Monday but I ovulated early and have a 9 day luteal phase

After reading the OPK instructions, it says the best time to test is between 10am and 8pm... so far the tests I’ve done are either earlier or later and not between stated times. 🤦‍♀️ Thought all OPK’s were pretty much the same... hopefully haven’t ballsed up this cycle too much! X

@KatieLooLa I've never understood the OPKs that ask for that, I am drinking all day so I know I'd dilute anything and terrible for sticking to a time. That's why I quite like the CB ones as it's first morning pee so don't have to worry about timing and holding back 😂 I'm sure you haven't balls it up though, it's still a reading nonetheless and most people test multiple times a day around their peak xx

@KatieLooLa I just noticed this on OPK this morning. I thought I'd test to see what the difference is. First wee of the day brought a very strong line, a few hours later and it's much fainter. Not sure how I feel about this as surely it will be affected by water intake over the course of the day?! Might invest in the CB ones if they're good for first thing in a morning.

@Halpmer it is really considering it records my peak etc but now I know and I won't forget!

I feel so sick today (partly because my BF went and got maccies breakfast I think!) but I also have that feeling like AF is coming 😭 praying that is implantation.

@KatieLooLa let us know what your reading says! My significant date was feb/March from jade Robert's abs this cycle has been Feb/March so just hope she is right 😭 and I have been seeing rabbits daily but mostly easter related, just don't know if it counts.

Bfn for me this morning :( 12dpo today

@Slinks8113 tried CB digital advanced before but this time opted for cheapy ones. Just had my exit test so will probably do another test a little later x

@Iloveoreos

Bfn for me this morning :( 12dpo today

Not out until AF hun!xxx

@lucea87 back in october i tested positive with the faintest line at cd10..then at cd11 a slightly darker one but 5 days later it ended in a mc with period bleed. So i get so sad when i see a negative now thinking if it were to b positive it wud have shown up now. But yeah ur right. I tell myself i wont test until af arrives but i give up eevery morning and get out the cheapy stick 🤣

The cheapy sticks are useless and every woman/pregnancy is different with HCG levels. I think the cheaps are only accurate the day after your missed period so try not to stress too much.

I'm hoping and praying EVERYONE gets BFPs this cycle. Wouldn't that be a turn out for the books.

Still showing positive here but I've got spotting again so I'm trying not to get upset really.

My cervix had gone softer and my temp came up slightly so I was starting to be more hopeful but now I'm down in the dumps again. What a rollercoaster ride!

Omg @Slinks8113 this is for you 🏆🏅 I always feel like a deserve a medal when I lose weight and that's so much! Congratulations!

Also🐷🐖🐽 for good measure xxx
