TTC December

[AussieMum888]

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd create a new thread as the TTC Oct and Nov we're so helpful to me :) There were so many BFPs in the Nov group so statistics doing their thing there will be lots of BFPS in this Dec thread too which is super exciting.

Im currently on CD3 of my 5th cycle TTC #2.

@Floralsandsmiles on the website I read it said every other day from day 8 onwards. Once you get your peak 3 days in a row then miss a day and do it again.

So we did Day 8, 10, 12 (peak on OPK), 13, 14 and 16 x

@Angelselevenx I have a really short peak that lasts one day then it drops but they say ovulation starts at the beginning of the rise and egg should release 8-20 hours after the first peak. Are all yours today peak tests or just high?

@bringmearainbow I've had three so far today the same as this one. It started getting high yesterday but didn't match the colour of the control line until today

@Angelselevenx that def looks like peak to me. It might stay peak for a couple of days but might start dropping back to low later tonight or tomorrow. I would say you'll ovulate tomorrow if you're having those today. Is this the first time youve used opks?

OK, so planning mine, I would do day 8,10,12,14 and then 16(peak?),17,18 and lastly 20. DH will hate me lol xxx

@bringmearainbow thank you, I've been going insane trying to work it out. This was last months OPK, that was the first month I tested. I've also started tracking my BBT so I've attached that, you might be able to interpret it haha x

@Floralsandsmiles mine looks like this which tbf isn't far from what I had planned anyway 🤩 dont know if we will manage 4 in a row though 😅 great calculator @lottieb92

Amazing @bringmearainbow ! This calculator helps loads doesn't it! Only problem is it doesn't factor in my stupid long ovulation 😒, so had to work mine out 😔😂 xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles yes if you follow it to the letter. As you ovulate later perhaps start the every other on day 12 as 8 and 10 would be too far from O and you might wear yourselves out.

In Feb when I ovulated later we weren't doing SMEP but deffo did it too much before the best days x

@Angelselevenx that bbt chart ties in you've had a temp drop so O likely tomorrow coupled with those opks from today. Looks like your opk stay dark for a couple of days which is normal. It took me ages to interpret line opks 🙄 when I first started out I had no idea what was going on with them 🤣

@bringmearainbow honestly it's so confusing isn't it! So would you say DTD tonight and tomorrow as well? I never know when to time it but also don't want to miss it!

@bringmearainbow so will my temp rise after ovulation so as soon as temp rises consistently that confirms ovulation has happened?

@Floralsandsmiles think I'm going to start mine thurs or Friday just incase this cycle decides it's going to give me an earlier O 🙄 don't want to miss it but don't want to get tired too early gosh it's such a fine line isn't it

@Angelselevenx yes def dtd the next couple of days 3 if you can but if not for sure tonight and tomorrow. Temp should rise tomorrow or the day after but some people don't have a sharp rise and it rises slowly over a few days. NC will confirm ovulation once you've had 3 higher temps above 6 lower ones. But realistically if you get higher temps the chances are ovulation had happened let us know tomorrow what the temp chart looks like

@bringmearainbow okay fab thank you so much! I'll get cracking the whip on the boyf 😂 of course, will do! I'll be just an confused tomorrow no doubt

@Angelselevenx don't know if this is of any help to you but this is my chart for opks and bbt (my temps were high to start with as temping vaginally this month)... Peak was on Friday, o'd Saturday and I'm now 2dpo (confirmed with temp drop and temp rise) 😊 x

Very good point! We shall skip a few days and will still mean we have given it a good shot 😊 thank you @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 xxx

@Floralsandsmiles no problem. Got my fingers crossed for you! X

Such a fine line yes @bringmearainbow ! Think I will start on Friday.. lol xxxx

Thank you @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 , and I you! Xxx

@Mummyme87 @Floralsandsmiles Im CD 4/5 too - my period always comes quite late in the evening so I never know!

I know I said we were going to do SMEP but we are both tired just thinking about it. We may have to build up to it! 😆

I started testing on CD8 last month and got my static face on CD12, so I’ll do the same this month I think.

I had a letter from the hospital today telling me off for not going for my scan - I would have gone if they’d actually told me
about it! Annoyingly they’ve copied the letter to my GP so he is going to think I don’t care! 🫣 They all finish work at 4pm and the phone line just cuts off, so I’ve had to send an email to the scan department explaining I never received the appointment and asking for a new one. Grr.

I'm jealous of O coming on CD12 @Fallulah ! Lol this is good! Mine is so late, its annoying! Lol
Boo to the hospital for not telling you about your appointment! That's not good! Xxx

Ttc irregular cycle range for 32 days cycle tested early tommorow will be 21 days from intercourse

Ovulated around 28-3rd March

One step testing 10ml at the moment

Sickness , cramping. Tierd , sore legs , creamy discharge , sore boobs at the side and darker areoel (think that's spelling ),

What r thoughts

@Floralsandsmiles I’m feeling a bit despondent as I got another bfn today at 10dpo. I ovulated early (for me) this month, so it still feel ages until I can just get AF and start all over again!! Glad you’re feeling positive and ready for your fertile window! Xx

@bringmearainbow another question as I've just done another ovulation test haha, if I have high LH for say today and tomorrow, what does that mean? Does that mean I don't ovulate until the surge has reduced?
