Who’s in their fertile window now?

[CZ9294]

I had my first flashing smile yesterday but didn’t dtd. I’m not feeling well as I have an awful cold…but really need to find the energy tonight!

My period will be due around 11th Jan. could be before or after as my cycle lengths vary by a few days.

Let’s keep each other company!

@WilllowStar Aw amazing, September is a lovely month too, just coming in to Autumn! My due date works out roughly 20th October! 🎃

We still haven't told anyone! Going to try to wait til 6 weeks before we tell our parents! Have you had any early scans? I don't think I'll book privately, if all goes to plan then I'll try to hang on til 12 weeks! I'm still feeling so cautious, horrible what a chemical does to you!! Xx

So ..... I've been really really patient not testing until today as I can have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. Today I am CD30. I know it is still very early and I have also tested positive for Covid yesterday 🙈 (still have to test due to work etc..) I'm not poorly with it, just a sore throat 🤞 this little bean sticks xxPS ive got a little bit or reassurance for now as this is quite a strong line to say not FMU. I had literally been to the loo like 2hrs previous xxCongratulations to all the others with BFPs ❤

And still got my 🤞 for everyone else still waiting xx

@Soda123x Congrats!! 🎉 That's a good line for cd 30, do you know how many DPO you are?
Hope you don't feel too poorly with COVID. I had a horrible cold this week, I think your immune system dips a little for implantation so your more susceptible to catch something.

@SillyOldBear3

thank you. I'm not 100% sure as I think (from pains & EWCM etc) I may have O on 30th Jan but my clue app says 4th Feb (I have cycles 28-34 days). We DTD around both dates so could be anywhere around then lol. Making me 10-15 DPO. I think more likely to be nearer the 15 but, I don't do O sticks or temps as we was taking quote a relaxed approach. Hope that makes sense xx

@Soda123x We were the same, no ovulation sticks so just relied on ECM and slight ovulation cramps. It does sound like you're closer to 15dpo and that line looks too dark to be 10dpo and not FMU! How exciting 😍

We have similar dates, I'm 16dpo today and so far my line progression is good!

I've had a vvfl and it's driving me mad because I tested again and it's negative! 😭

@lemonyfox I see it! Was that today? Test again tomorrow! 🤞 It depends how diluted your pee is! Also, they say fmu is strongest but I've done countless cheapies and my 8.30pm pee always has the strongest line, after a couple of hours hold.

Yeah it was today with fmu! It's a good point, my ovulation tests are usually darkest in the afternoon. We'll see, I'll be so disappointed tomorrow if it's negative! Period is due Thursday so I might just wait and see if it turns up 😩

@lemonyfox keeping everything crossed for you! Keep us updated! Xx

I'm holding out testing today! I'm due either today or tomorrow so I'll test tomorrow if my period hasn't turned up. Gaaahhhh!!

How are you feeling?

@lemonyfox oh my gosh, you have so much self control! I'll keep everything crossed for you!

I'm feeling good thanks, I have very few symptoms though, I wouldn't know I was pregnant other than the missed period. I'm a little more hungry than usual, and boobs are slightly sore, but that's it... I wonder if I'll remain like this or if symptoms will suddenly kick in at 6 weeks 🫣

I knoooow I'm quite surprised at myself tbh 😂 I'll be so disappointed if it's negative though, I think I'd rather find out from a period rather than a negative if I'm not pregnant 🙃

That's good you're relatively symptom free so far! Long may it continue!

I really hope it's good news for you! 🤞

Yes, though it's quite disconcerting, I sometimes forget I'm pregnant then suddenly remember again and get that jolt of nerves haha! I think once we have told people I'll feel much better! Waiting til 6 weeks, then will tell close family only, and possibly my two best friends.

I'm out unfortunately, period arrived this morning before I even had chance to test! That was one hell of an indent line. Never mind 😊

@lemonyfox oh I'm sorry 😞 that was definitely a weird indent. I hope this month is lucky for you ✨

Due 26th September 🥰

sorry to hear AF showed up, fingers crossed next month is kinder to you ❤️

@lemonyfox sorry to hear your AF arrived, mine also did this morn so we will be very similar days for this next cycle :) hope its the lucky month for both of us x

@SillyOldBear3 congratulations with the line progression, how exciting!! Glad your feeling okay so far too, 6 weeks seems like a good amount of time before telling close people, I think that's what I'd want to do too x

@Anon2822 lovely due date, congrats! x

Aww thanks, you too.

When's your next fertile window? I'm a late ovulator around day 23, so likes ages away yet! Not til the 10th March 😩

@lemonyfox my ovulation date has always been CD17 since we've started tracking/TTC, so should be first weekend of March! I know it all feels like so long away doesn't it, so much waiting around whilst TTC! Although I am actually going to try the SMEP method this time which starts from CD8! Not actually told DH yet though 🤣 might keep it to myself and he'll just think he's getting lucky haha. Have you ever tried it?

I know of it, but have never tried it. Sounds like way too much sex for my liking 😂

@lemonyfox I know what you mean 🤣 I worked it out and I think it's seven times in ten days...

Yikes no thanks 😂 we did it 4 times this unsuccessful fertile window and I was knackered afterwards! Interested to hear how you get on though so fingers crossed!

When we conceived our first we only had sex once that week, and (over sharing here) I went on top that time. Now husband keeps saying we should try that more and I'm like for gods sake 😂 but I am wondering whether we should only give it once or twice this next fertile window and see if that works!
