TTC CD12 and approaching ovulation. Anyone with me?

[MLN89]

Currently on CD12 and it's month 1 of TTC #2. Anyone else close to ovulation? Hopefully we can keep each other same during the TWW!

@SnookyPook and yes, it's my first time tracking! Still an amateur lol!!

Yes ovulation on Saturday and no idea whether this month is going to be a hit or miss

@pm24 If you don’t mind wasting the cheap Opk strips it can be worth testing 3x a day while you’re getting to grips with it. I would have missed my ‘peak’ if I’d been testing only twice a day, it turned up on cd 16 with a high-ish reading in the morning, my peak at 3pm and then lower by 7pm.

@pm24 - what @CurlyWurly1991 said! Although I don't always test 3 times a day... I use it all more as a guide than anything. If you make sure that you're DTD plenty around the right time then it doesn't really matter if you know your exact peak etc.

I heard that FMU isn't the best for opks actually as apparently LH tends to rise more throughout the day. Lots of people seem to say second wee of the day. You'll see I got in a pattern of testing around 9.30am and 8pm (but not rigidly so!) and around the time I thought my peak should be due I was checking early aft too. Good luck! 😃

Officially 1dpo here now! The tww begins...

@CurlyWurly1991 thank you for your advice! I think on the days that we DTD I'll test twice and then on other days 3 times! Where are you on your cycle? X

@SnookyPook thank you, I'll make sure I test around similar times and not rely just on fmu.
ekkkkk 1dpo! How exciting for you. I remember my first pregnancy which sadly ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks and I would literally right down every symptom I had lol, it can really consume you so make sure you take some time out to relax and have some down time xx

@pm24 I’m currently at 7dpo and sitting on my hands - will not test until 12dpo earliest!

@CurlyWurly1991 you're very good not to test! Crossing everything for you!! X

I think I'm at my surge? My knickers were soaked yesterday to the point I thought it was Aunt Flo!

@pm24 oh defo! Get the premom app you can upload all your tests to them it's very handy!

@pm24 yep that deffo looks like a surge!! Get on it today and tomorrow! 🤪🤞🏻

@Daniki @SnookyPook thanks ladies xx

Time to BD! 😝

Hi ladies,

Just catching up and looks like a few of you are hitting ovulation which is exciting!

I caved and tested today at 8DPO (according to flo, I didn't do any opk's this month) and it was a BFN.

I'm not feeling too disheartened as it's only month 1 and I really don't mind if it takes a month or two as my hubby has just gone self employed and we've just paid for our wedding so financially a little extra time to recover won't be a bad thing!

I'm a notorious early tester and knew I'd start at 8DPO as I always did last time I was TTC and actually got my BFP with my daughter at 8DPO. As a compromise with myself I've ordered internet cheapies to use this week and then will do a FRER next weekend. Last time I was using FRER every day from 8DPO and every day for a good week or so after I got my BFP so spent a bloody fortune 😂.

Hope you're all good ❤️

What CD were you when u tested positive x
