Hi ladies,

Thought I'd start a new support thread for those of us who have got/had AF this month and are still TTC. Please let me know if I've missed anyone out.

Here's to this month's journey being full of baby dust for all of us!StarThanks

Hi can I join?

I've posted a thread on my situation, very confused with my cycle this month Confused

Basically two periods in June Sad I'm always regular so this is unusual for me, and now my premom LH tests are showing high fertility even though I finished my period on the 1st Hmm I'll attach my calendar and tests which I started taking after my period ended.

I'm 36 ttc baby number 2 Thanks

To add I started AF on the 5th of June and it ended on the 9th, second AF is the 27th of June.

Also I've taken a second LH test today and it's 1.72 and reading high...

So if anyone has any advice or similar experiences pleeeeease let me know ConfusedGrin

So I started using the femometer app this month, it said I was 5dpo yesterday (in line with flo which I've been using to track my cycles for years!), and 5dpo yesterday would be 6 days after I saw ewcm. However its now changed to 3dpo (im guessing based on my bbt- which I know didn't seem reliable earlier based on my broken sleep but its now making me question my cycle! Maybe I've always been ovulating later than I thought?

You could have been. I tend not to rely on bbt alone for ovulation. I use both OPK's and bbt, and find I have two days of peak OPK's then the next day a rise in temps. My first cycle was all over the place with Femometer, but once I got the hang of temping it got better. I also log to fertility friend, and generally they both predict the same ovulation date.

Can I join as well? 33, trying to conceive DC2. Started trying in October, caught in November, but had a MMC in December. And nothing since then. Waiting for AF to start today (though may be delayed because I had my 2nd jab last 9 days ago).. and then trying again in a couple weeks for the 7th cycle.

I feel so naive. No idea it would take this long. DC1 was conceived while on contraception and then the last pregnancy caught so quickly but failed. It's very lonely, all of my friends are pregnant (literally), with my best friend due in two weeks.

Farmer98755 · 05/07/2021 11:19

Having a strange month. i normally ovulate around CD 18 as per ovulation tests and app predictors. this month stated testing and got a high ( extremely dark) on day 11. was high the day before and the day after but 11 was the peak. not sure what to think!

ViL89 · 06/07/2021 13:58

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing well, @Farmer98755 me too! I just got a faint positive OPK and it's CD11 and I usually ovulate on CD19 I'm wondering if it's the supplements I'm taking. Either way I've not had any sex haha so I'm not feeling positive about this one... worried I've missed it!! Going to get on it today onwards... I reckon ovulation will be Thursday so the wait will begin from the weekend..... exhausted!! Good luck everyone!

Charliecircle11 · 06/07/2021 14:45

@ViL89 I always do OPK twice a day for that reason. Last week, my app said I would ovulate Monday. Did an OPK Wednesday and positive, so app moved ovulation to Friday but Thursday I did first OPK and was positive, in the afternoon it was negative so app has set it as ovulating on Thursday. My temp has gone back up now, so confirmed to Thursday as much as can be. If I hadn’t tested again in the afternoon and not had sex that night, would have probably missed it!

ViL89 · 06/07/2021 15:49

Eek pleased I caught it !!!

I'm rushing my husband home from work haha it was a faint line so pretty sure it will be tomorrow or Thursday not today

Fingers crossed anyway

Skincareaddict · 07/07/2021 08:39

Hi girls, how are we all getting on this month?

I'm feeling sad, my BBT is dropping and my period is due on Sunday. I am nauseous and wretch every month with PMS. Its exhausting getting all these symptoms and suffering with PMS when all I want is to just not get my period one month!! ..when will it ever be my month :(

Bancha · 07/07/2021 09:10

Can I join? We are going to start TTC number two this month. Today is CD1. Fell pregnant unexpectedly the first time, so really have no experience of TTC. I have some ovulation sticks, so hoping that helps! DD’s sleep (and my own, thanks to DD) is a bit all over the place so I have tried to do my temperature in the past to get a sense of my cycle, but I could never do it at the same time and if she woke up I would just shoot out of bed etc so temping doesn’t seem realistic for me.

Good luck everyone!

Hi ladies, now 5dpo and the wait is driving me crazy! I have very large, sore breasts and hoping this a sign, but think I'm the queen of symptom spotting! AF due in 10 days, so now I'm thinking it might just be due to that.

@Skincareaddict I'm sorry to hear you're feeling down. It's so difficult as the months go by, but don't lose hope. What has your BBT dropped to? Mine dipped and then went back up again. Not really sure what I'm meant to be looking at temperature wise as it's my first month charting.

SLT90 · 07/07/2021 21:27

Sending you all good wishes for this cycle and keeping fingers crossed for some bfps! I got my first strong OPK line today and I felt a little emotional 🙈 so glad my body seems to be doing what it is meant to be despite still bf and still readjusting after coming off the pill! Was sooo tempted to just give this cycle a go as soon as I saw the dark line, but it really wouldn't be good timing so I'm trying to be patient! Feeling excited for next cycle 😁

Skincareaddict · 08/07/2021 07:19

@AureliaRose my bbt went down by 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit 3 days in a row, its gone back up again today. I dont think I've got the hang of it yet though, but I'm either 8dpo or 11dpo depending on the two methods for tracking I was using so I thought I'd have some symptoms by now!!

Charliecircle11 · 08/07/2021 09:16

I feel ridiculously emotional/sensitive today, feel like I could either cry or flip my lid at the drop of a hat. No other symptoms, 7 dpo and period due next Tuesday apparently!

Pasha82 · 08/07/2021 09:36

Hey ladies, I hope you are all well. I've been trying to stay off MN and relax as it was all getting too much. I didn't dtd at the right time this month as other half couldn't ejaculate, so I'm not holding out any hope. I haven't bothered to check my app and I'm not going to test either as a result of not timing things right. Ttc is so frustrating!

Best of luck for July x

ViL89 · 08/07/2021 10:58

Hi @Pasha82 I hope you're okay, you never know fingers crossed but if not sounds good to have a break and go again next month when you're feeling refreshed!!

@Skincareaddict sorry you're feeling down its so hard I have been finding it tough as well the ups and downs and emotions are a lot to manage

@AureliaRose best of luck! I only just realised a positive OPK is only once the line is darker 🙈

I've been thinking I'm ovulating at the wrong times for 3 months lol

I'm a bit bored of the planning and stress so might just stop testing and just BD every few days!

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/07/2021 11:57

Hi Girls, sorry been absent.

For some reason didn't notify me that i had been added, but I've found you all again. for those who don't know me yet, 11 months in my ttc journey with two losses.

Due for ovulation this weekend lines getting darker so expecting 11th/12th for my peak. really hope July is my month, due date for first pregnancy is end of month so getting my BFP will really help me get through that day.

Sending baby dust to all xxx

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/07/2021 12:01

hey @Pasha82 sorry to hear your struggling your so right though ttc is so frustrating, don't let it break you down, if need the break definitely do it just start enjoying your sex life again.

@Skincareaddict wishing you all the best for this month. xx

Skincareaddict · 09/07/2021 12:03

Fingers crossed for you @LeeTTCRainbow..a BFP at the end of this month would be amazing for you. Really hope you get it this month xx

I'm wondering if anyone can help me? Charting BBT for the first time and can't work out if one ovulates on the temperature dip or on the spike in temperature? I thought it was the spike in temperature (CD 15) but was I wrong and it was CD 14). I had to input it manually so have no idea which one is correct! Any help much appreciated!
