Last thread is full!

Ladies, can I join? TTC #2, this is my 4th cycle temping just entering into my fertile week. 6th cycle of trying, not even a sniff of a BFP so far.

No such thing as TMI on this thread @LemonDrizzle44 😂 EWCM is a good sign 🤞🏻

Welcome @WantStickyBean where are you currently in your cycle? I'm currently on ovulation day I think 🤔 so about to enter the dreaded TWW! Lord give me strength! 🙏

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter thank you! I'm on CD8, but had a flashing smiley yesterday and a small amount of EWCM so think I'm on track for a fairly early ovulation. Probably CD11/12.

This is probably my favorite part of the cycle - all the sex, all the POAS action from the OPKs and the hope that actually this month might work. Hope the next week and a bit passes quickly for you!

@WantStickyBean yes my favourite part of the cycle too haha feel like I can be really productive 😂 I'm cd13/ovulation day x

@WantStickyBean welcome!

Small temp rise this morning but don't think I've ovulated yet. Maybe today? DTD 2 nights in a row, struggling to face tonight and possibly tomorrow! this has got to be the least favourite part of my cycle 😂 @WantStickyBean @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter I think I prefer the TWW 🤷🏻‍♀️

@LemonDrizzle44 the sex every night is a bit of a mood killer because you both know you're doing it to potentially make a baby rather than because you're just in the mood for it 😂

We've done past 3 nights and I'm going to try and convince him to do it one last night just in case 😂 I'm 1dpo today so the TWW begins... ⏰

@LemonDrizzle44 I actually find fertility week a bit gruelling 😂 We're not that active normally and it gets a bit much!

I'm 11dpo and AF is due today but my temp went up 😳 I was too scared to test this morning, might do this afternoon if she doesn't show and I feel brave enough! My boobs are still not hurting and my RHR has dropped a bit so not sure what to think, scared to get my hopes up and have them crushed

Hello all I am wondering if I can join your chat 🙂! We are TTC #1 and I had a natural miscarriage last month at six weeks, which was our third cycle trying. I am feeling very anxious because of it, but I am currently 3DPO as you can see from my chart and trying to stay positive but struggling not to obsess! Any advice or experiences would really be appreciated.

Does anyone know how I can add my chart as I'm having issues with it?

Here is my chart! Hopefully it should work this time

@Thisriveriswild Your chart looks great, you have a really clear thermal shift and you're definitely covered with regards to DTD! Welcome to the thread :)

@polkadotpixie thank you 🙂! Yes we did get a bit carried away DTD this month lol. I am just so nervous due to the miscarriage I feel like I am thinking about it all constantly!

@polkadotpixie that temp rise looks promising. Fingers crossed for you. I read a study about times of testing and more positive results come in the evening rather than with FMU.

@Thisriveriswild welcome! Your chart looks great and that's a big temp shift post ovulation. How on earth did you manage to DTD that many times in a row! Your definitely covered!

@LemonDrizzle44 @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter yes I do get a bit fed up of it after the first few days. DH starts to take a lot of convincing which feels a bit shit. But I really really hate the TWW!

@Thisriveriswild I am in awe of your (and your OH's) stamina!! We managed 5 days in a row one cycle and we're exhausted at the end of it! Jealous of your thermal shift, mine's never anywhere like that clear. Hopefully it's a good month for you.

@Thisriveriswild that chart is a chart of dreams 😂 it looks textbook

@LemonDrizzle44 @WantStickyBean @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter well we're still pretty much newlyweds lol we got married six months ago, and after the shit month we had last month we have been sort of using it as a form of stress relief haha! Although I should point out OH is absolutely convinced that the pregnacare conception vitamins we have both been taking this month are acting as some form of Viagra 😂😂 so who knows, could be partly that. Yeah to be honest that's the best thermal shift I've had since I started charting a few months ago!

Where are you ladies up to in your TTC journey then?

@Thisriveriswild I just wish we had that stamina! 😂

I've been ttc#1 since December, fell pregnant in January but miscarried at 7 weeks at the end of feb and haven't had any luck since then.

I've done a few tests and I had been discovered that I have low AMH. I had a scan at the weekend and all looked fine on that front

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter forgive me but what is AMH? I'm still learning all of the more "science-based" side of TTC! I can see from previous posts you're in a pretty similar place to me at the moment - the start of the dreaded TWW! It's so exhausting I do everything I can to keep my mind off it but it's impossible.

That's ok I had no idea either until I had it tested! Anti-mullerian hormone test basically tests your AMH levels which indicates your ovarian reserve.

I have low AMH which means I have less eggs that I should have for my age. However, it doesn't test the egg quality so hopefully my eggs are still ok 🙏

Can't quite believe I'm posting this but I just got a BFP! My chart looked good but I'm 37 and have severe Endo so I'm in shock!

Omg!!!! Congratulations @polkadotpixie amazing news! So so happy for you x

@polkadotpixie omg congratulations, really lovely news!!!! X

Massive congratulations @polkadotpixie !! Best of luck with everything ❤️

My AF is in full swing ladies - one step tests playing with my head again! My temp hasn't dropped but presumably because it's the first cycle after m/c

@MrsTwentyNine I can't get on with one step tests either. I've switched to using easy@home
