Lucky October? 🍀

[Danani]

It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else with me?

Hi! Hoping its okay to join?

I'm on my 3rd cycle ttc baby 2 and hoping for some luck! 9dpo today but holding out to test!

Congratulations to those that have got a bfp this month. Hopefully lots more to come!

Thank you everyone! I’m going to hang around on this thread if that’s okay. I want to stay and cheer you all on if that’s not too weird x

Who's predicted ovulation on Monday @Firsttimetrier? I do think the tests can change suddenly to peak so I wouldn't be worried. But it may be that it's just a little later than expected.

Welcome @DanielleNicola! I'm also TTC #2 and on my 3rd cycle :)

Ooh yes please @PleaseSendNoodles! We need all the encouragement we can get haha

@DanielleNicola hi, I’m on my 3rd cycle ttc baby 1 and I’m 8dpo! I’m going to wait and see if AF shows up, the last two cycles I’ve tested a couple of days before AF is due but I’m going to wait this time. What about you? :) xx

Thanks @Cruz86 🙂

@Coco9910 we're heading up to see family on Tuesday for my grandmothers funeral and staying for a week (they're a 3 hour drive away from us) so will probably test on Monday before we go. How are you feeling in this TWW?

@Vwhite, I think I can see something!! So exciting! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Cruz86 your line doesn’t look like a peak but for sure a high! Test three times a day from tomorrow! I expect you’ll peak at some point tomorrow! 🤞🏻🍀

@PleaseSendNoodles what a BEAUTIFUL line!!! So so so pleased for you, lovely!!! Hope it only gets stronger and darker from here on out! 🤞🏻❤️

Ahh it's so frustrating @Danani! I've done another two since and they're not as dark as this one. What's going on?! 😩

My app says its peak so could it have been through the night that it really peaked? If that makes any sense haha

I mean yeah it could be through the night! Keep testing and don’t freak out! Sounds like you’re DTD’ing anyway so you should be covered huni! X

I just want to take a break from DTD 😂 I'm exhausted!

CD16 for me aka O day.
We managed to DTD last night and this evening, I’m feeling like we gave it a pretty good go! What do you guys think? Don’t think we can manage tomorrow as well. 😬😬😬

I'm also still here watching and waiting for your positives 😂😎🥸

@Cruz86 try not to worry. if your lines are now getting lighter that dark one could have been your peak. The Premom app and those pictures of strips can be a real nightmare. The other month I uploaded 2 pictures of the same test strip multiple times and just zoomed in differently/angled it differently and it came up with all different readings even though it was the same strip. (Attached print screen!).

Also some people get a really dark peak and others don't. The main thing is to get to know your patterns, how quickly you peak etc.

X

Think you've definitely got it covered @Danani! Positive vibes this month! 🤞🏻

Thank you @lemons44. That is ridiculous 😂 I'll keep testing until it changes to low again and then just assume I've peaked and ovulated. I told myself I wouldn't obsess as much with #2 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey everyone, Can I join you girls?

We have been ttc since March when I came off the mini pill and from June my periods where every 27days had three periods like that then from July I missed a period for a 2 months had one and then this cycle was only 21 days I have no clue what my bodies doing now so confusing and so frustrating!!!

I'm now cd1, feeling so down and alone with ttc it's unreal xx

@DanielleNicola fingers crossed for Monday! Let me know how it goes. I feel okay at the minute I’m trying not to think too much about it. I’ve had back ache and some cramps and a little bit of nausea but on my first cycle trying I had so many symptoms and got a BFN so I’m ignoring any “symptoms” now 😂 how are you feeling? xx

@Bubblyunicorn Hi, so sorry you are feeling down. It can be so difficult at times. Sending you lots of love! My cycles have been all over the place the last few months and I’ve always been like clockwork 31 day cycles but this one is looking to be 38 days. I don’t have any advice for you, I’m afraid, as I’m still fairly new to all this, but I hope you are feeling better about it all soon 💕 xx

Thank you hun, it's just so frustrating when your period doesn't wanna play ball isnt it? I've just ordered some ovulation tests to give ago this month. Fingers crossed! Xx

Morning all.

Hope you are all doing well!

I’ve got my first flashy smiley on the CB! I was starting to panic that I just didn’t ovulate.

@Cruz86 my Flo app predicts ovulation on Monday, so I’m guessing the flashy smiley lines up with their predictions.

We DTD yesterday and will continue every day until the static smiley, I guess? Feel the pressure now 😂

Morning @Firsttimetrier! Told you you have nothing to worry about! :) Happy BD-ing!

Good morning everyone 👋

Joining the TWW club as of today, as I’m 1 DPO!
Feeling consciously optimistic this cycle, but regardless of what happens, I feel like we did our best (and that’s all you can do, right?)!
Not gonna lie, looking forward to being a bit more chill and not having the pressure to DTD 😬 after 4 days in a row I’m knackered 🙈

How’s everyone else doing? Who else is at the beginning of the endless TWW?

Morning

I’m on 3DPO (according to OPK and CM) but after updating my BBT chart this morning it detected the ovulation the day before the positive OPK so I’m well confused! Tbh I’ve been less than consistent with taking my temps so I think I’ll go with the OPKs prediction 😉

@Danani well done, you guys done great! I’d say you’re covered 😀

@Firsttimetrier good luck on making the most of your window, get to it🙌 If DH doesn’t cooperate, force him - I wish I was more blunt with mine😒😂

So far no unusual symptoms for me, just the standard from last month - morning diarrhoea from 1DPO!🙄 The rise in progesterone should cause constipation, but not in my case apparently .

Have a lovely Sunday ladies xx

@Mummytobe93 ahhh yay the joys of the tww 😂

Tbh, I must have miserably failed with the BBT, because it was initially suggesting I’ve ovulated last weekend, which obvs wasn’t the case. Go with your OPKs, that’s what I’m trusting as well. I’ve been taking the BBT daily but any time between 4 and 8 am and not always after a solid stretch of sleep (sometimes it’s been only a couple of hours) so I think that’s what ruined it. 😬

Same, and in addition I didn’t take my temperature on my ovulation day as I was piss*d off that we didn’t DTD the night before so I was like “what’s the point?!” 🙈😂 how grown up of me. So I’ve basically had one temperature missing on the most important day, no wonder m my chart is all messed up.
