1dpo, anyone else? 😊

[Pinkmoon23]

Hi guys, just looking for some cycle buddies. This will be our 3rd cycle hoping for that BFP 🤞. I think I'm either ovulating today or 1dpo... I got my darkest opk yesterday morning (CD13) but we had my sons birthday trip away camping so I wasn't able to repeat the test to see if I got my peak in the evening. I'm presuming I would have. I haven't had a temp rise yet, so I think I'll get one tomorrow if I ovulated today. It's all a bit confusing 😅. Anyway, it'd be cool to have someone to wait with!

@ABLOSSOM your chart looks so good!! When will you test? When I was pregnant with my first mine looked very similar. The other thing I noticed was my heart rate on fitbit was getting slightly higher everyday that might have just been me tho!

My OPK still hasn't peaked and I'm CD17 I'm so confuuused. Today should have been ov day so was expecting to have peaked yday.

@Angelselevenx no, I've never taken my temp or anything like that. I've never been on the pill so I've been practising what is now called Natural Family planning. I call it the Avoid sex a couple of weeks after your period for a few days if you don't want a baby 🤣 method. Not as glamorous and most definitely not as reliable but hey

Can I join please. I have given up tracking this month and it was my first month of trying too. I have had the strangest systems but no positive opk. Bleeding just after what thought was ovulation and now a uti. The joys of being a woman. Good luck to you all!

@Jaded1982 ouch! I hope your UTI resolved soon, they can be so uncomfortable 😩

Aaah I think my opk is nearly positive 🥳

@pinkandredflowers yay!!

Had awful nausea this morning, only 5DPO so obviously not related to anything but does make you think! 😅

Hello, I’m quite new to trying and realising there’s lots to learn! Could I ask which app you’re using and whether it’s worth paying subscriptions for full access to them?

@elizabell there are lots of free apps to help you track your period so you are more aware of what's going on. They aren't foolproof though so if you want accurate info you might want to get ovulation sticks and take your temp and stuff.
You don't necessarily need to though, I got pregnant twice just by roughly following a free period tracker app and keeping an eye out for symptoms.

@elizabell my fave is premom app the free version. You can order the ovulation tests to upload to it!

I used Flo before but this time it keeps trying to make me pay for premium 😂

@pinkandredflowers I'm going to hold off until Saturday the very earliest! I have a sad feeling my temp may have dropped by then and don't want to be disappointed and test everyday! I never even thought of checking my heart rate I will keep an eye on that.

Your positive is looking strong - fingers crossed for you?

Sorry didn't mean to put a question mark 🙈

Yay this looks really close to being positive! 😍

Your chart looks great! I think it's something like 15 consecutive days of high temperature post ovulation indicates pregnancy 🤞🥰

Well I think I'm sure I must have ovulated CD 14 - my temps are still rising and my opk are getting lighter and lighter. So this makes me 2dpo I think today!

Really hopeful we BD enough 🤞

How's everyone getting on?

So I woke up this morning around 6am and just randomly tested BBT and it was 36.43 which is a BIG drop - see graph below. I fell back asleep and tested now I just woke up again and it's 36.67 which do I go with? Does it look like I'm out now as the temp is not increasing?

@ABLOSSOM temp is still above cover line, how many dpo are you? I'd take the first temp as long as that's within a 2hr window that you'd normally take it? Temp can go up and down so I wouldn't count yourself out yet. I've had two drops since O and weirdly it follows my chemical pregnancy month (blue line)

@Angelselevenx I'm 9DPO and I've had no symptoms or implantation symptoms so I'm really starting to think I'm out. I'm fighting the urge to test too as I know that will only make me worse.

Your graph looks super positive though as it looks similar to your CP so fingers crossed you get a BFP again and it sticks 🩷

@ABLOSSOM how many days dpo are you? If I'm reading your chart correctly your period is due in 4 days? If you are pregnant a first response would pick it up by now, so I'd probably just test!

@ABLOSSOM sorry, I just saw you did answer the dpo question before! Fair enough if you don't want to test, when I get the 9dpo I find it impossible not to, I'm too impatient 🤣

@ABLOSSOM I wouldn't count yourself out, at 9DPO it's still so early. Are you going to test this week or wait to see if AF arrives? Some people get no symptoms at all and get their BFP.

Thanks lovely 🤍 I'm hoping my temp jumps up tomorrow but we will see 😊

@MrsLully yeah I'm starting to feel impatient now but feel like if I see a BFN it will make me feel so deflated - just delaying the inevitable 🙈

@Angelselevenx I'm trying to tell myself that, but this is month 10! I'm going to hold off testing as long as possible but with 0 symptoms it's sending me a little crazy. Hopefully your temp will jump up!

Oh no, it can be so hard sometimes. Give yourself some grace, it will happen!

Hi all, hoping to share the torture of the TWW with like minded people 😁 I have a DD and DS so this will be number 3 but for the first time ever I got the implant in my arm after DS as my periods were horrendous. Got it out on 11th May and AF on 15th May. Did some tracking and took some ovulation tests. Unfortunately DH had pneumonia (very inconsiderate of him) so DTD was sporadic. We DTD on 22nd, the next day apparently I hit the fertile window and then we DTD again on 27th when I got 'peak' fertility. But that's been it. Ovulation was due 28th and honestly I had such bad cramps I couldn't even entertain DTD. I've had cramps since then and my boobs are killing me. In my hopeful head I got pregnant on 22nd and have these symptoms because I'm pregnant but the realistic part of my doesn't even know if that's possible because so far away from 'peak' fertility? I don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I'm AGES away from being able to test so I'll be here being mad in the meantime 😂

@ABLOSSOM Temp will measure lower the earlier you take it apparently - if you normally take it at 8 I'd go with that one, as long as you had 3 hours of sleep before hand, was it 6am you got the first one? You could also use a bbt adjuster, if you Google it you put your temp in and the time you normally take it and it adjusts accordingly! Probably OK for a once off x
