TTC May baby ☀️🌦💐🌳♉️♊️

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!

@CDD1992 hmmm doesn’t match your chart though. If you’ve been temping correctly, I’m not sure

@Charl881 looks like your OPKs peaked at around D12 so ovulation should have happened around D13 or D14! Looks like temp has risen around then too.

Actually yes looking again you get a rise around CD13/14 @CDD1992

7dpo, having some proper ouchy pain left side of abdomen this morning. Probably muscle pain and nothing else at all 😂😂 my boobs feel very slightly tender if I give them a good poke but a million years away from what I usually get so taking that as a good thing

I have no idea what's going on. Temp up again today and it's given me the crosshairs even though my tests read low. I agree with you guys that my darkest test (and it is the same as the control line just about) is evening of CD12 so maybe I've ovulated already 🙈

Just did another pregnancy test and the lines barely visible 😞 looks like a chemical for me. Feeling ok at the moment, I'm just trying to think at least it shows I can get pregnant again. It's just so hard when you get your hopes up.

Officially annoyed. Re scanned OPKs from CD11, CD12 and CD13. CD12 has now gone from a low reading of about 0.75 to 1.11 high.

Last month my peak was 1.04. I've missed ovulation and didn't BD on time. I hate these tests.

@CDD1992 I'd agree you probably peaked overnight. Did you DTD in that time frame?

I thought the best time to test was late morning to evening but yours is not the first test I've seen where peak seems to have happened overnight. I got my highest reading at 9am this cycle which had dropped by 1pm so I possibly had actually peaked even earlier in the morning/previous night. Just makes me wonder as I've often held off testing first thing as they say it isn't the best time to test but is that correct?

I missed my peak this month aswell, very similar to you @CDD1992 although I don’t BBT. I can take a guess when I think I ovulated based on previous cycles.

@calipoppy so sorry to read this. Be kind to yourself. Xx

Whoops missed the most recent posts

@calipoppy I'm so sorry. Really hope you're wrong and that line gets stronger but such an emotional rollercoaster for you :(

@CDD1992 I don't think you're supposed to read the lines after they've fully dried, the ratio does seem to increase when they're dry. However I don't think the photo analysis on Premom is amazing, it definitely seems to be quite affected by lighting and angle and I've scanned the same test twice at the same time and got different readings. Did your 0.75 reading appear to be as dark as the control line at the time? Although it doesn't register as high on the app, for me a reading of 0.6/0.7+ is definitely much higher than normal and a sign things are heading in the right direction so that's when I make sure I start DTD, instead of necessarily waiting for the app to register high or peak x

@cavebaby i think we are quite similar. Last month my peak was high in the late afternoon, about 5pm I tested. The next morning it was high then low by the afternoon so it's very possible as I seem to have ovulated early, that I've peaked overnight this time. This cycle seemed different from day 1 with my AF being different to normal but we will see what happens. We only BD on CD9 and CD12 so missed it but we shall see. Sorry TMI but I even said to DP after CD12 "I think we just made a baby". It felt different. But we shall see 🙏🏻🤞🏻

@cavebaby i think CD12 (second one for CD12 is pm is exactly the same as control line... What do you think?

@CDD1992 I thought you were going to say you hadn't BD at all. Remember sperm can survive up to 5 days and if you think you peaked on day 12/13 then BDing on day 12 would actually be pretty perfect timing! So don't worry on that front :)

@cavebaby i always worry we don't BD enough. It's all we've been doing for months and it hasn't worked so far 🙈 maybe I'll consider myself 3dpo for now and see what the temps keep saying. My sore boobs are a giveaway though, normally get them from ovulation through to AF arriving so pretty sure I have ovulated.

@CDD1992 I think CD12 PM looks at least as dark as the control line, if not a bit darker, although it's a bit harder to tell with dried tests. Overnight on day 12/13 would be my guess from those tests and if you BD on day 12 I'd say you were in with a great chance timing wise! It's not about DTD every day, as long as you've done it once in your fertile period you're in with a chance so good luck!

@cavebaby thank you for your support. At least I don't have to stress about sneaking off for a quickie at this wedding now 🙈 although I still might 😊 where are you in your cycle?
My periods are always 28 days but I've only done OPKs and temping for 2 months so still figuring out a pattern. Last month it said I ovulated CD15. If I ovulated early will my period come early if its a BFN?

@CDD1992 Haha at least it can be sneaking off for a quickie just for fun! My understanding is that your luteal phase is pretty consistent so ovulating early would mean an earlier period but don't quote me on that!

I'm at 6dpo, no symptoms but DH did remark that my boobs looked a bit 'puffy and odd' charming! Ultimately though after 7 years together and using up most of our energy wrangling a toddler I think perhaps he hasn't looked at my boobs properly for so long he wouldn't know what was normal 🤣

@cavebaby haha they choose their words so nicely don't they! Not like he could have said "full and bouncy" instead 🙈

@CDD1992 Hahaha exactly! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@cavebaby yes, luteal phase shouldn’t change in length, it’s ovulation day that changes making your cycle length differ.
looking at my cycles over the last few months, I’ve had 24, 25, 26, 25, 23, 25 and this one should be 25 aswell

@calipoppy I'm so sorry to hear this. Be kind to yourself. I can only imagine how hard it is after you get your hopes up.

@CDD1992 both CD 9 and 12 are in the window and could still have worked. You got day before ovulation which is a key day

@calipoppy ive just read back, im so sorry you’re going through this, are u sure though? If there’s a line there can it maybe be your urine is diluted? Maybe try another test later on today?

@CDD1992 like the other girls said- sperm can live upto 5 days - if you DTD in the past 5 days there is always still a chance …

I too don’t feel hopeful this month, although I DTD enough Im feeling like my weird temperatures this week suggest I’ve not been successful - there’s many factors that can affect bbt but I don’t know, I just am not getting my hopes up - I’m only 5dpo so it’s still early but I am not expecting a miracle.

@CDD1992 I wouldn’t rely on your app to tell you if it’s positive, go by what you see. I would say you have some nice dark lines there that I would take as positive. Looks like you have ovulated already. My app sometimes says my OPKs are negative when they are definitely dark and same as control line.

Hi everyone, just marking my place so I can find this thread later. I'm currently on cd28 and 15/16 dpo. Have had faint lines on 2 ic's (11/12 dpo and this morning) but bfn on a frer this morning so just waiting for af now

Darker line on OPK this morning on CD15, will test again tonight, I expect a positive tonight or tomorrow! Have BD CD11, 12, 13 and 14. I’m just wondering if LH is negative tonight should I have a break tonight then DTD tomorrow? Just thinking about his swimmers!

Thanks everyone, I hope I'm wrong but I think I can feel AF starting now. Wish I had just not tested early but it's impossible to resist isn't it!
