I have pcos and ovulate later in my cycle between cd18-cd22 I generally have a 31-35 day cycle....

Cycle 20 for us this cycle

I won't be testing until 29th April.... that seems so far away 😂😂😂

Iwas very hit and miss with my BBT this month I'm going to make sure I'm on point with it this cycle and I'll be starting my OPKS from cd 16.

I've ordered some myo-inositol that I'm going to start from today and I've just ordered some preseed and we will DTD every other day from cd 14 upto cd 18 then every day till cd 24....

Well that's the plan anyways 😁

@mickey1121 I've only bothered doing them for one month. Not sure I will again this month. I think we'll just dtd every other day until CD23 or until my BBT goes up. I used to get O pains before my last miscarriage which were a good indicator but they seem to have disappeared now 🙄

Cinnamon23 · 06/04/2023 20:20

Bloody work has been getting in the way again! Past few weeks have been manic so our schedules have been disrupted but finally DTD today on CD13.

Haven’t been doing OPKs this month but hopefully still in with a chance. 🤞

Bellabeemarie · 06/04/2023 21:03

@Cinnamon23 how longs your cycle hun? When do u usually ovulate? My cycles are long so I ovulate later on its sooooo annoying! We've dtd the past 4 days I'm cd10 today and we've dtd because oh has instigated it each night good job there's another week before we need to start DTD because I'm sure we'll be fed up of it come ovulation 😂😂😂

How's everyone doing? Cd11 for me today... my opks come so I thought I'd do a sneaky one and I was surprised by how dark it was this early in my cycle 😕 so now I don't know If I should keep on taking them from today just incase I ovulate early for some bizarre reason 😂

@Bellabeemarie Mine came today too so I'm going to take one in a minute. Weirdly I have EWCM already so maybe I'll ovulate early too 😂

Bellabeemarie · 07/04/2023 14:55

@TheBirdintheCave I just couldn't resist 😂😂😂 my cm is quite heavy but its creamy not EWCM x

@Bellabeemarie have you got an app to upload the result on to? I’d test again tonight and tomorrow morning but I tend to have a couple of days of high results before I get a peak result.

TheBirdintheCave · 07/04/2023 20:24

My OPK was low despite all my EWCM. Still, I'm only CD12. Earliest I've O'd in recent memory is CD16 so maybe it's one of those cycles.

Bellabeemarie · 07/04/2023 20:34

@buckingmad no I use ovusense for my BBTS and fertility friend for my tracking, I don't think either of these give you the option to upload unless your premium 😕 xxx

Bellabeemarie · 07/04/2023 20:36

@TheBirdintheCave it's still early days babe I don't think I'll ovulate until nx weekend if I'm honest... my opk was the same as this afternoon I'll do another one at 1pm tomorrow and compare 😊 xxx

Hey how's everyone's bank holiday weekend going ☺️

We didn't have much plans this weekend, oh was only working half days yesterday and today so we've had a lovely chilled weekend. We're going to do a Easter egg hunt for the kids tomorrow and go for a long walk & it's my birthday Monday so we're going my parents and kids are staying there till thur but oh is working all week so I'm planning on taking the few days I have alone to declutter the house 😂😂😂

Cd12 today my fertile period starts today till the 15th it says on FF so I'll definitely be making sure we get loads of BD in over the nx week🤞

@Bellabeemarie Pretty good! Potty training the toddler has gone excellently. No accidents in two days! Today my husband and I went to Star Wars Celebration so that was fun :) Mum took over watching our son 😅

DHB · 09/04/2023 07:03

Hello ladies!

I would love to join in please :)

We sadly had a miscarriage at nearly 8 weeks on 5th March and AF arrives yesterday. I’ve bought some ovulation tests as I have no idea how this miscarriage will affect ovulation this month but we’re eager to start TTC again. We conceived with our angel on the first try after coming off the pill, so I’m keeping everything crossed it’ll be the same again. We already have an 8 year old Daughter so it’s been a while and I think my vagina has finally healed from the first birth 😂😂

Sending positive vibes and baby dust to everyone on this thread 💙💗

DHB · 09/04/2023 07:20

Sorry for your loss :(

We’re in a very similar boat it seems! We miscarried 5th March and my HCG were still faint positives until the third week, then I had on and off spotting and AF finally arrived yesterday, 5 weeks later.

I’ve also decided to start testing OPKs early too, as I have no idea how the miscarriage will affect things and I don’t want to miss our chance.

Sending love and luck xx

Cd21 for me now so in the tww. I'm taking folic acid and not sure if that's messing up my cycle. If no bfp this month I gna start testing ovulation next month. Currently sore nipples and very tired but no real symptoms xx

Farmgirl12 · 09/04/2023 16:48

Hey ladies

im on cd13 got my static smiley this morning, I’m hoping this month is my month. And all yours too ❤️

smldnlove · 09/04/2023 19:46

Hi! Would love to join!

I’m slightly ahead on CD15 and DTD twice this month so not much but for some reason convinced myself it could be.

On 5DPO anyone similar?? Already thinking about testing lol. I’ve got EWCM currently like I’ve never seen before every day it is so heavy, a few crappy twinges and a bit of nausea but nothing crazy.

We weren’t actually supposed to be trying this month as our wedding is in 8 weeks and it feels a bit complicated, but we’re so ready for it now and it’s hard not to.

Wishing everyone the best DTD over the next few days and hoping it is your months! ✨

Bellabeemarie · 09/04/2023 19:52

@smldnlove heyyyy, oh how exciting!!! Wedding not long off 😁😍

Cd13 for me today my temps still low and my OPKS arnt getting any darker but I usually ovulate later in my cycle cd18-22 so I'm not expecting it until around end of nx week 😊

I've had a busy week this last week and next is even busier but I'm determined to make sure we get enough DTD in! I'm expecting to be really quiet with loads of time on my hands during the 2ww( that's not a good thing) 😂 I hope I can keep busy to keep my mind off the 2ww...

I usually test early but I'm not wanting to test until end of April I hope I can manage to hold out until after AF is due 🙃

smldnlove · 10/04/2023 10:35

@Bellabeemarie i had the same thing this month! I usually ovulate around CD14 but was getting really faint lines up until CD19 and then I ovulated CD20 which was weird for me.

yes definitely try and get lots of DTD in! Do you always track with OPK? Do you always get a peak? How long have you been trying?

yeah I’m planning to hold off until next week at 14DPO if I can ( would be next Thursday I think) but we will see!! It’s hard!!!

TheBirdintheCave · 10/04/2023 10:39

I got my peak today at CD16 so I think O will be tomorrow at CD17 which is very early for me. Going to dtd today, tomorrow and Weds and then hope we get some good swimmers up there 😅🤞🏻🙏🏻 If we get it this cycle, I'll be looking at a New Year's Eve/Day baby.

mickey1121 · 10/04/2023 12:31

I've been quiet for a few days just trying to stay busy over the Easter weekend with my toddler. CD13 for me today, not due to ovulate until early next week but did an ovulation test this morning as I had some pains and I've been getting horrendous ovulation pains which usually last a couple of days, came back negative so looks like I'll ovulate later as usual!

@TheBirdintheCave fingers crossed for you too🤞🏼 thats good news you are ovulating earlier, when do you usually ovulate? ☺️

TheBirdintheCave · 10/04/2023 13:23

@mickey1121 Usually it's between CD19-21.

MrsMotts · 10/04/2023 23:58

Hey!
can I join? I recognise some names from a previous thread (NC from sinloutox). We have been trying for almost 4 years, but got diagnosed with colitis about 2 years in, and another year to get under control so we think that impacted. Managed a CP May last year, and then MC at 6 weeks last December. We’ve decided to bite the bullet and go for tests privately to start the IVF ball rolling (I am 38 so figured we’d better just get on with it). I have USS and husband has SA next week!

CD1 today…..

TheBirdintheCave · 11/04/2023 08:36

I'm out and ai've only just O'd 😭 I have a cold and a temp of 37.88 so all the sperm will be toast. Plus we only have yesterdays lot to work with anyway which won't be enough as I think I O'd overnight.
