[Floralsandsmiles]

Hi everyone, welcome to those joining and hello again to my soul sisters from the December thread. I saddened to see you still, but happy to have company.
May this thread bring us all luck xxx

Apparently due 1st January - I knew I’d have more success with a birthday like that 😂. Only dtd once as had bad cold so very lucky!

Ahhhhh massive congratulations! Xx

@ThomasinaLivesHere congrats!!!!!!buzzin for u!! Xx

Girls i need your help so im on cd7 what are your lh rates on that day on premom? I take it yous dont test this early .. basically as i had the whole 2 surge thing after coming off the pill i just test every day so as not to miss anythin but literally is scarin me that its that dark and should in theory have another week to go? Maybe it means nothin?

Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying this much needed sunshine!

I’m CD13 today, my OPKs increase yesterday to 0.1s which is the most mine have been so far haha! But I don’t know when my ovulation actually is as I’ve never tracked my cycles. Premom says I’m peak ovulation now until the next two days so we’ll see if the OPKs increase or not! We DTD today anyway, can’t hurt 😂

@ThomasinaLivesHere MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS 💜

@Freya8 I start testing once my period ends at CD5 last month I had similar to this around CD7/8 and got some advice on here and was told some times our body attempts to ovulate and fails but then you ovulate further on during the the month.
So last month I had that at CD7/8 & it dropped then had it again at CD13 which read as 77 on Premom then it dropped right down actually got my peak CD17 which left me ovulating on CD18

Our bodies just love stressing us out.
Hopefully you catch your peak but I would still DTD today just to cover you.

@Nmmck93 thanks so much!! Jeez i am jus so stressed after last months 2 surges n still af showed! 😫 gonna do smep here this month so done cd6 will do cd8 unless these opks start goin up now!!!

@Freya8 oh it's so stressful, this is only my second month TTC'ing for my first baby & it's actually so stressful, last month was so chill for me but this month I'm just so impatient and really want to just do what I can. & then work schedules get in the way and so forth!
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Congrats @ThomasinaLivesHere 💓

@Freya8 I started testing yesterday and that was CD7 and was low, today is low as well so yours looks good! I used to track my ovulation before I got my pregnant with my son and I used to ovulate round cd 10 then, seems the miscarriages have messed up my cycle so starting to track again! I didn't use the app before just went by eye and I have to say I'm finding the app more confusing 😂

Twinning with @ThomasinaLivesHere got my official digital positive today, (found out a few days ago on a cheapie) I'm also due 1st Jan 2023 🥰🥰 sending babydust to you all xxx

#2024 lol

Congrats @Babydustthisyear 💓

Congratulations to you both!

My little boy is a New Year’s Day baby. Although he was a week early… so you could end up with an Xmas baby ;)

@Babydustthisyear congratulations 🥳 over the moon for you.

@buckingmad - I got my peak last night and drastically dropped this morning. So DTD tonight and Saturday to try cover me fully but my TWW starts tomorrow going by my chart!

@Nmmck93 my tests look pretty much exactly the same as yours! Except I ran out after my peak so I've not tested since. My BBT was slightly raised this morning so will see what it does tomorrow.

Congrats on the BFPs!

@buckingmad aw I bought a thermometer for my BBT but I always forgot about it. I'm going to try my best to do it from next month if this month isn't mine!
I need to read up on it properly to know about it because I'm clueless with BBT. 🙈

I bought a Bluetooth thermometer to do my BBT this cycle. I’m not sure how accurate it will be as I still wake often in the night with my first.

@HavinKittens I'm an awful sleeper and wake during the night multiple times or get up and use the bathroom. So I don't see BBT being for me. But if this month ain't my month I'll do my best at BBT next month.

@HavinKittens my did a a new years baby too. She was due 19th December tho.

if I turn out to be pregnant this month I looked and I’d be due 2nd January 😂

waiting to test at the weekend x

I have a potential due date of 2nd January as well - got this very very faint line that I'm not convinced by this morning at 8dpo. I don't know how people wait to test, you have such willpower! I'm desperate for tomorrow morning's FMU so I can see if there's a better line. I'm definitely not calling this a bfp yet! Could be an evap, or just nothing.

Thanks everyone! Best of luck to you all!

@Freya8 It’s not uncommon to have more than one surge which isn’t helpful. Apparently you can also get one before your period is due but also if pregnant then you can get false positives on ovulation tests (as hormone for pregnancy can be misread by test). It’s so confusing.

Congratulations @ThomasinaLivesHere and @Babydustthisyear! Also a tentative congratulations to @Hankthehonk - I can definitely see something there!

No news from me really and I’ve been offline for a while as I’m trying to be relaxed this cycle as I was so fed up last cycle. I’m CD11 today and haven’t been doing OPKs, mainly because I didn’t get my peak until CD25 last cycle so it was a long wait!

@Hankthehonk hope it’s the start of a line for you, I have had so many indents with First response (not sure if this is what you’re using?) and it can be really frustrating
this was my indent from last cycle

@HavinKittens yes it's a FRER, zoomed in. This is why I'm not getting excited yet, time will tell! Having patience isn't easy though each day feels so long in the tww

@Hankthehonk I tested on Tuesday and had a very faint line like this and it took until today for it to get stronger.

Also Iv been tracking my cycles and using premom and ovulation tests. I got implantation bleeding at 4dpo which was too early turns out I ovulated early. It's crazy how it all works

Thank you everyone I am delighted! Xxx
