Have i actually got a peak on cd 64?!? Pic!

[CTMcG]

Hi everyone!

Cd64 today ttc#1 - 1st cycle and when af didnt show up cd45 i started opks. 12 days ago the app put me as a peak but it was still low at 1 and i wasnt convinced but look at this mornings test!!! I have never been darker than the control line and its really dark!!! Could this be me possibly ovulating?!

Im on day 4 of taking conceive plus ovulation support so they may possibly be working their magic?!

Hi @CTMcG this mornings OPK is def positive so I'd imagine you'll ovulate within the next 12-36hrs. The only way to be 100% sure that you ovulate though it to track BBT.

I had 2 peaks last month so didn't O when I thought I had the first time, was just my body gearing up to release an egg but then must have failed so had another attempt the following week.

@BenTheLoaby thanks for the response! Ive attached bbt graph, ive no idea how to read them!

@BenTheLoaby apologies, if i do ovulate in the next few days, what will my bbt look like? Does it drop drastically or go up higher? Sorry total newbie here xx

Ahh i know im talking to myself here girls and this is tmi😂but i just went into the loos at work and i was nearly sick... LOTS of egg white, stretchy, sticky, clear cm which i have NEVER seen so fingers crossed that 64 days later, ovulation is underway in the next few days!! Pretty happy it's coincided with the weekend, lots of dtd!!! Haha

Hi @CTMcG sorry, I'm clueless about BBT. Tried it for one cycle but had no idea what I was doing and my sleep pattern meant I wasn't consistent with it.

Loads of EWCM is a very promising sign 👍🏼 get DTD ASAP!

Fingers crossed this is your month🤞🏼x

For bbt you'd be looking for it to rise the day after ovulation. If you get three consecutively high temps higher than the previous six it confirms ovulation. I'd ignore your weirdly high temp from the other day though - it looks off!

If you carry on with bbt I'd strongly recommend fertility friend for tracking it - it's much easier to interpret on their charts.

You need to keep doing your OPKs to see the peak go back down.

BBT requires taking your temperature at the same time every day and if you wake regularly in the night, it might not give the best readings. Have a drink the night before might also cause off reading. In that case, you might want to look into a fertility tracker. Ava won’t work for you because of long cycles. I was looking into TempDrop as it works with disturbed sleep cycles and bling cycles but didn’t go through with it as it’s still expensive. BBT can be useful, your temperature rises after ovulation, it will then drop about a day before your period starts (at least you get some notice) or stay high if you’re pregnant (most of the time). BBT can also be a huge source of anxiety. I tired it for a month and it just caused more stress for me.

@InTheNightWeWillWish thanks for your response! I have been temping and have noticed a slight increase this morning but you are right, it is stressing me! I
Might stop temping tbh as im doubting ive ovulated now even though my opks are slowly going down and ive had ewcm and ovary pain! Time will tell if i have or not! Will just wait now for af or a bfp!

Hi @Juno231 thanks for your response! I have been using fertility friend. I will attach chart but its still to early for ovulation to be confirmed then!

Thanks @BenTheLoaby bbt is definitely stressing me which isnt good so going to knock it in the head i think! Dtd plenty this week so fx!!

Hi *@Juno231* thanks for your response! I have been using fertility friend. I will attach chart but its still to early for ovulation to be confirmed then!

Hi,

Looking at your Fertility Friend chart, all the circles/points that aren't filled in blue are readings that are outside your usual parameters. Like if you took it at a different time etc. Those readings aren't really reliable.

Your looking to get your readings as consistent as possible for your chart to be relied upon. For a first time, I'd say it was good to practice but I would take it with a pinch of salt (sorry!)

Try next month to get most of not all of your circles filled in blue. Although hopefully you are pregnant this cycle & won't need to!! 🤞

*most if not all

Hi @MarshmallowsOnToast yeah i havent really been temping properly, as you say, it was more like practice! Only the last few days ive stuck to around 6.30am and will continue around that time going forward!thank you for pointing that out though as i didnt know the difference in the solid and non solid points!
