Does it look like we're covered?

Hi all!

Just looking for some advice please..
Going by the photo of my flo app below, does it look as though we've covered 'all bases' with DTD?
The date with the circle around it is the date of ovulation.. so we have DTD leading up to, and day of.

Any advice? Thank you in advance 🥰

It does to me! Thought I'd comment as we have the exact same fertile window this month. Now begins the two week wait 🙈

@Mellous yay! Thanks for replying! I've been so worried as I've never tried to be this precise before.. we have always taken a relaxed approach but now I'm properly tracking ovulation I panicked that I've got the 'DTD' days all wrong 🤣🤷‍♀️🥴

@thechancer How long have you been ttc if you don't mind me asking? This is my third cycle! First cycle I got lots of symptoms I don't usually get with PMS and then second cycle AF was 4 days late 🙈 both BFNs!

My recommendation would be to DTD throughout your whole cycle. The apps will work to the standard mid cycle day as your peak day for ovulating but it's not the case for a lot of woman.
I didn't ovulate til CD17 so if I had only gone by the app and DTD in that fertile window, we'd have more than likely missed it.

Good luck xx

Ps, the DTD every 2nd days was on the advice of my GP whose professional advice to me was 'get at like rabbits throughout the month, every 2nd day!' 😂

@FirstTimeMumma2021 thanks for your help! I track my ovulation using OPK's and the clear blue digital ovulation tracker too so I always input my ovulation date into the app myself :) I don't trust their date guesses 🙈🤣

Hi @thechancer are you using OPKs too? Flo is not always v reliable on its own because it’s just guess work. It would guess I ovulate on day 14 when it’s usually day 11 so if I relied on Flo I’d be missing most of my fertile window.

roidnait · 18/04/2021 09:33

@Hopefulhedgehog yes I am :) I always use OPK's every month without fail and back up my positive with the clear blue digital OPK's 🥰
