So much to catch up on, I love that everyone is as obsessive and loopy as me Grin

You've all made me want a bloody Wispa now... I may have to text DH as he's on his way back from footy.

It's funny that the time of DTD was mentioned downthread, that's been my focus this month.
I'm convinced I ovulate at about 8pm to midnight every month (thanks to ovulation pains), so I assume DTD that morning would be ideal as sperm take 12 hours to "prepare" after ejaculation before they can fertilise the egg. However, we always DTD at night due to the toddler. Well this month we managed a few mornings so I'm hoping this will make the difference!

Just laying here with my legs up typing for something to do...I'm pretty sure there is zero science to this and my partners just looked at me and said..."that isn't the most attractive thing I've ever seen" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ life.

@ViMa1820 Im also all about that LOA so good vibes all around. I'm on day 2 of 5/6 when Im usually a 3 max a week girl partners loving life!

@RugbyGirl1 I honestly dont think it matters too much how many times. If its meant to be it will be. I'm only doing this to myself as my partner is soo excited, but I have heard theres sonething to waiting and letting him recharge so to speak or w/e brings you both less stress! We're all rooting for ya! X

Dogmum13 · 25/07/2022 22:06

@ExPatHereForAChat I've always wondered about that theory so let me know if it works!

ViMa1820 · 25/07/2022 22:09

@Aurora81 uh oh, what's opks? Haha I'm so useless 🫣

@Doodle10 I am 9dpo and literally just have the same old sore boobs that I always have at this time. Sometimes it's hard to switch off when we want something so much. Your symptoms sound very promising so keep the faith😊

@Mummyme87 That's a great plan!! πŸ˜ƒI hope though that you will be long after conceiving by then.

@Orangesaretheonly I use the CB digital ovulation test, as sometimes it's hard to use cheapies at work and I tend to use them on my lunch break at home, or when I finish work. Sometimes I wonder if I get a shorter surge or is it probably because I tested at the wrong time, or was it because I was at work and couldn't test. I was on Annual leave over a week ago and I noticed that it was easier to track my cheapie opk progression, as I had time to repeat it when I noticed it getting stronger. Long story short πŸ˜†I prefer the CB tests as I can use FMU get and answer and get on with my day πŸ˜„

@BiscuitLover3678 I feel guilty now for mentioning the wispa I devoured 😁I have to ration them as they are just delish with a cuppa tea πŸ˜‹

@RugbyGirl1 did you get a positive OPK? I think I am going to do SMEP next cycle...here I am planning ahead already...what am I like πŸ˜†DH had a SA 3 days after I got my peak, so we couldn't follow the plan properly this month. I am spending a small fortune on vitamins, as I am gluten intolerant and I have to make sure that my vitamins don't contain any gluten.

@NiceToChat88 I attended both acupuncture and reflexology a few years ago...and while I do believe acupuncture is amazing, I am more drawn to reflexology, so I have scheduled a fertility reflexology. I am not that fond of the needles, but to be honest they don't hurt that much at all really.

@NSx Exactly! It could shoot back up tomorrow, who knows...but I literally think if DH starts snoring again tonight I will escape to the spare room for my beauty sleep 😁and a more accurate BBT reading of course πŸ˜‰

Have just ordered some. I'd much rather digital or just more obvious positive than me having to work out if one was darker than another. Thank you!

Mummyme87 · 25/07/2022 22:27

@ExPatHereForAChat i think I ovulate in the morning, somewhere between 5-10am I think and also never DTD in the morning due to kids

RugbyGirl1 · 26/07/2022 06:26

Argh my BBT still hasn't risen! So maybe I will be ovulating today like normal, but my hormones just peaked earlier than usual 🀷 idk, stupid bodies doing things they don't usually! DTD Thursday, sat, sun and Mon though, both a bit exhausted so don't think I'll get a fourth in a row out of him tonight πŸ˜‚ hopefully done enough!

@Nypie everything is worth a try!

NiceToChat88 · 26/07/2022 06:46

@RugbyGirl1 im going to start temping next cycle if I have no luck this month. I was going to start last cycle but I’m Scottish so I seriously struggled with our heatwave last week and thought that would effect things 🀣🀣

CinderellaFant · 26/07/2022 07:06

10dpo and pretty sure I'm out. I think AF is on her way 😒

NiceToChat88 · 26/07/2022 07:08

@CinderellaFant Hope you’re feeling ok. I always really struggle for a day or 2 but then feel positive again by the end of AF as feel like it’s a new chance. Xx

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/07/2022 07:09

@RugbyGirl1 it's so hard to know exactly isn't it. I agree the temping would be good to see the rise afterwards. I feel ovulation pain but generally for a couple days and same time as EWCM (last Wed/Thursday) and my peak was Wednesday so think I ovulated on Thursday as pain was gone by Friday.

Sounds like you've DTD at the right times. We didn't make the 4 in a row, just the 3. Baby dust to you for this cycle

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/07/2022 07:10

@CinderellaFant sorry to hear this. Hope you're ok. Fresh cycle now to focus on

Mummyme87 · 26/07/2022 07:50

Sorry you think AF is coming @CinderellaFant you never know but if it does. Fresh start fresh cycle lovely

I'm 7dpo today, feel like I normally would at this stage any month, which is also normal considering 1. Probably wouldn’t have implanted yet, 2. To get any pregnancy symptoms you need HCG in your system.

will probably end up testing tomorrow as have no will power

CDD1992 · 26/07/2022 08:15

Morning ladies hope we are all doing OK? Sorry for the BFN's, sending big hugs and FX for the next cycle ❀️
My chart finally updated this morning after my temp rose (highest its been this cycle) - says I ovulated CD13 which puts me at 4DPO. BπŸ‰πŸ‰bies are sore but they always are between ovulation and AF arriving. Trying not to symptom spot.
For any ladies familiar with BBT charting - mine is below... How do you think its looking?

Dogmum13 · 26/07/2022 09:00

What does everyone recommend for increasing ewcm or just moisture down there generally. I have to use lube as I'm too dry most of the time πŸ™ˆ

Blossomhoney · 26/07/2022 10:12

Hi Ladies Af has definitely arrived for me this morning so I’m out, at least I’ve finally had a period now after ending the pill on 4th June.

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/07/2022 10:14

@Blossomhoney sorry AF has arrived but there is something nice about knowing your cycle as now come back and you can start fresh today

RugbyGirl1 · 26/07/2022 10:14

@CinderellaFantuntil AF arrives don't give up hope! A lot of early pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms are the same so you never know πŸ™ƒ

@EdinburghGirl1 @NiceToChat88 I love temping, it just gives me that confirmation that ovulation happened! I don't usually get any ovulation pain so can never be too sure.

@Mummyme87 have you got some cheapie tests in? I try and wait until AF is late which is never so I rarely have tests in the house πŸ˜‚

RugbyGirl1 · 26/07/2022 10:16

@Dogmum13 I tried starflower oil this month and it seemed to work! Take it from AF starts to ovulation. Otherwise evening primrose oil, 100% pink grapefruit juice and preseed lube can all help!

RugbyGirl1 · 26/07/2022 10:18

@Blossomhoney sorry to hear that AF arrived although at least you know where you stand now in terms of your cycles after coming off the pill 😊

Aurora81 · 26/07/2022 10:52

@ViMa1820 opk means ovulation predictor kit 😊

@Dogmum13 I started taking high strength evening primrose oil from CD 1 to peak. I also believe it's important to keep hydrated, and even more so now that it's so warm.

@NiceToChat88 typo in my msg yesterday πŸ˜… I meant to say that I have scheduled a fertility reflexology appointment.

@Mummyme87 keep away from the pregnancy tests 🀣 I know I can't talk some months... I literally pee in the morning as soon as I can to prevent the POAS temptation πŸ˜…

@CinderellaFant 10dpo too and here with you ✨hope you are okay

@RugbyGirl1 that has happened to me before! πŸ™‚ Hang in there the egg chasing marathon is nearly over πŸ‘πŸ»

Aurora81 · 26/07/2022 11:52

@ExPatHereForAChat I hope you got to munch on a delicious wispa πŸ˜‹ I would feel rather guilty if I was the only one scoffing one πŸ˜…

@CDD1992 yay for getting crosshairs ✨your temp should continue to rise over the next few days πŸ™πŸ»

@Blossomhoney Sorry for the arrival of AF πŸ˜• I am glad though that you finally have some clarity and you can start tracking your cycle πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Blossomhoney · 26/07/2022 11:52

@EdinburghGirl1 @RugbyGirl1 Yes as much as I really want a bfp I’m glad my af has arrived properly as I feel like my body is doing what it should be now if you get what I mean.
Good luck to everyone waiting x

ExPatHereForAChat · 26/07/2022 11:55

@Dogmum13 I'm the same and use Pre-seed, I find it really easy. I've also been taking Evening Primrose Oil but haven't noticed a change.

@Aurora81 They didn't have Wispas so he got a Kinder Bueno and a Twirl instead. Boy done good Smile

RugbyGirl1 · 26/07/2022 12:13

Who mentioned wispas???? There are some in the vending machine at work and now I can't stop staring at it when I walk past!!!!
