I don’t know what I’m doing with the emojis this month. Got the star signs in there though!

Cycle 10 for me 😀

Best of luck to everyone!

where r u?

NSx · 18/08/2022 22:29

@NatGee get using the fertilily - honestly it’s easy once you’ve done it a couple of times πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…

NatGee · 18/08/2022 23:52

@NSx you're right, will let you know how I get on. Do you use lube?

Mummyme87 · 19/08/2022 06:59

Good morning!

6dpo and nothing to report. I’ve got some easy@home cheapies and some FRER coming today. I’ll probably start testing Sunday as I have no self restraint! AF is due on friday, so one weeks time.

CDD1992 · 19/08/2022 07:15

@NSx ohhhh the TWW has begun! Hope you can keep busy until you test, keeping everything crossed for a BFP!

Im CD13 today, haven't hit a high or peak yet but my temp had climbed 4 days in a row so waiting for the ovulation drop. DTD yesterday and will try again this morning before DP goes out as he's away tonight helping groom get ready for wedding tomorrow so we might not have too many chances tomorrow night either 😬 not ideal timing but just have to go with what we've got. X

calipoppy · 19/08/2022 08:26

Stronger line this morning! Still very faint but at least it's going in the right direction 🀞🀞🀞

Mummyme87 · 19/08/2022 08:42

Yaay @calipoppy thats exciting and good news

H1994 · 19/08/2022 09:00

Was predicted to ovulate today/tomorrow and opk's are still low... maybe it's a late one this cycle?!

CDD1992 · 19/08/2022 09:28

@H1994 im the same. CD13 today, ovulated CD15 last month but although OPKs are dark they still say low. Could be a late one or you might get a sudden surge and peak. I'd DTD in line with you ovulating as expected just in case.

H1994 · 19/08/2022 09:49

@CDD1992 yes! I'm the same here... darker lines but still not positive, hoping for a quick surge... yes, DTD hopefully this evening/tomorrow/Sunday (maybe not all of them haha!)

NSx · 19/08/2022 10:21

@CDD1992 yes 2 week wait has commenced πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚ Gonna be a long wait ….
my chart is all over the place so not holding out much hope πŸ˜‚ but I’m 4dpo and my skin is terrible πŸ₯Ή
has anyone had this before ???

@calipoppy I’m so happy for u how many dpo are u now? πŸ’•πŸŽ‰

NSx · 19/08/2022 10:25

@NatGee yes I use a bit of preseed - but tbh ur a bit lubed up anyways from DTD if u use it for that so it’s not that bad πŸ˜…

CDD1992 · 19/08/2022 10:27

@NSx my skin has been bad since AF finished 8 days ago which is not normal for me but could be several factors I guess.

Attempted DTD this morning but DP was a bit snoozy and it didn't work out. Trying to be chill about it but this bloody wedding tomorrow (I'm not a fan of groom so it's more irritating) is ruining my plans. DP said we will have to sneak away at some point haha (we are staying overnight but too much beer doesn't help DP perform) - can't argue with his commitment to DTD though!!

NSx · 19/08/2022 10:33

@CDD1992 mine has been ok up until 2/3 dpo it’s weird .. πŸ˜‚
oh that will be u fun, I love weddings πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰u will defo be able to sneak a wee DTD In there don’t worry -
we’re having a chilled wee wkend, except my nieces dance show on sat - she’s 3 so that will be interesting πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Mummyme87 · 19/08/2022 10:48

Love a wedding, and definitely opportunities for a quickie πŸ˜‚

im going to meet friends from uni for a girls night on Sunday then straight to in laws in Devon on Monday.

feeling some throbbing and pain left lower abdomen and groin area. Probs get that every cycle πŸ˜‚

NatGee · 19/08/2022 12:16

@CDD1992 difficult not to feel like we're pressuring them. I am now tip toeing around my DH a little because I am so conscious of forcing things. oh well, needs must!

calipoppy · 19/08/2022 12:51

@NSx thank you! I've got everything crossed for you too! I'm not sure how many dpo I am because I missed ovulation, it must have been early this month. I'm CD25 though so it's still sooo early 😬

LavenderWillow · 19/08/2022 13:09

@Tophy124 good t know i'm not alone! I can't remember ever spotting during ovulation - maybe because it was the first month actually tracking I was more aware of my body? Who knows!

@NSx I'll join you in the TWW, i'm only 2DPO but it feels like a week! AF not due until the 31st. πŸ˜“

@Londonlady22 I'm not experienced in TTC for long periods of time since this is just my first month, but I liked to know when I was ovulating and enjoyed seeing the tests change. I ovulated quite a bit later than all my apps predicted. But if you've got a good handle on your CM and ovulation periods then maybe you could try a month off.

@Mummyme87 fingers crossed for some faint lines when you test! I'm not sure what day to start - so tempting to try on 9/10DPO but so many people saying to wait until period due! Not sure I can wait that long!

Only first month trying, but hopeful for a miracle as Sep/Oct when I'm predicted ovulating I'm on holiday away from DH! first world problems, I know, but frustrating to put it off even longer!

NatGee · 19/08/2022 14:22

@NSx first day of fertilily βœ…used as you suggested, easy enough without any assistance. Lets see how it goes. fx!!

SpringTulips22 · 19/08/2022 15:08

I have started bleeding now so am out for this month sadly. Congrats to all who have their BFP and thinking of you all who are still in the TWW.

Plantymcplant · 19/08/2022 15:29

I'm seeing lots of posts of people DTD every day during their fertile window. Is anyone else in the same boat as me that can't errrrm achieve that much with their partner? Getting worried it won't happen if we can't dtd that much

hipposinacircle · 19/08/2022 15:40

Hello all, I'm officially jumping over here from the April TTC thread after AF just showed up. So this is now CD1 of cycle 4 for us.

Planning to buy a Fertilily this month to see if that helps after seeing good reviews around here. Hopefully I'm dexterous enough to manage it!

CDD1992 · 19/08/2022 16:02

@Plantymcplant yep I'm in the same boat as you. DP gets a whiff that it's an important day of the month and the performance anxiety sets in. Day 2 of fertile window today and we couldn't make it happen. Did yesterday and going to try at some point tomorrow and sunday but no guarantees. Rest of the month we have no problems!!
