13DPO and yet another BFN on Easy @ Home. I have v minimal spotting, if I wasn't checking loo roll after wiping I wouldn't even notice it. BBT dropped this morning though so hope AF isn't too far away.

Scarletthoping · 13/07/2023 08:39

@Unicorn25 wow congrats!! Hope everything goes really well for you 👶🏻

Also really good to know about the easy@home tests as I finally ordered some!

Thank you ladies!

@Optimistic66 I am relieved that hopefully this tests shows I am ovulating at least some of the time. My temp on the cycle that I didn’t ovulate was all over the place, up and down, so I guess that was my main indicator. The OPKs were pretty normal that cycle though so I wouldn’t be able to tell from those in future.

Ahh hopefully BBT helps you :) Honestly feel like putting sticks in the bin sometime! Always nice to get answers. How many months have you been TTC

How long did the cycle you dont ovulate last? Not sure when to expect my period - CD25 and havent ovulated yet! Would rather get my period and move on, if im out this month.... (i know it doesnt work like this... wishful thinking!)

Goldie1234 · 13/07/2023 18:03

Congratulations @Unicorn25 !! Hope you're feeling alright!?

I'm now CD1 again.. ow !

2 days later than expected though, so I think the Agnes castus did make my luteal phase longer, if anyone if thinking they're low on progesterone or have a short luteal phase.

Will be doing LH sticks again this month I think, I found it quite reassuring to know roughly when ovulation was.

Wondering if there is anything my partner can take, he has low normal forms (morphology?) But healthy lifestyle seems to be the best cure for that.. and he's already pretty healthy ! 🙈

@Optimistic66 my anovulatory cycle was 30 days. Had LH peak on cd14 and ewcm for a few days before. All normal for me. So only really my BBT was any different from normal. We’ve been trying almost 7 months now. I’m hoping it will happen eventually, it might just take a while.

I hope you get ovulation or AF soon, so you know where you stand!

Morning everyone... 14DPO and yet another BFN so I am definitely out.

This cycle I have learnt that the following symptoms mean nothing in the TWW:

  • AF type cramps/twinges/pangs/tingles
  • Temp dips a few days after O
  • headaches
  • The odd dizzy spell
  • A high/medium and soft cervix

I'm going to remember this for next cycle so I can stop obsessing over different symptoms.

CurlyWurly1991 · 14/07/2023 12:11

@Goldie1234 im on agnus castus too as part of a mix from a medical herbalist. That or B6 (or both) have also extended my LP to 14 days from 12. More time to wait but I guess better for fertility?!?
@CinderRosie yep with you on those. Added to my list is high temp after AF starts, and triphasic chart. I really like fertility friend’s charting course and Q&A on the app, have you seen that?

CinderRosie · 14/07/2023 12:19

@CurlyWurly1991 No I haven't yet, I'm going to look into Fertility Friend as currently I only track on Flo x

Optimistic66 · 14/07/2023 22:21

@HavinKittens so i've had a peak today...

but somehow managed to fracture my husbands penis during sex so it's actually unusable!!!!

IF I DONT LAUGH, i'll cry!

at the grown ass age of 36 - he was mortified! Safe to say this month is out.

Scarletthoping · 14/07/2023 22:28

@Optimistic66 oh my god! Is he OK? How do they even fix that?

Vic231 · 14/07/2023 22:35

@Optimistic66 oh wow! That sounds painful! I hope he is ok and you can get back to it asap 🙊

Kellyaust · 14/07/2023 22:43

@Optimistic66 sorry but.... How exactly? 🙈

GinAndBearIt90 · 14/07/2023 23:34

@Unicorn25 congratulations on your BFP! Very exciting 😊😊😊

@Optimistic66 ouch!! Oh no! Did you manage to get a couple of goes this fertile period before his injury? 😅🙈 hope he has a speedy recovery!

I'm just about to enter my fertile week I think, but I'm not sure that we are going to try this month. Have DTD a couple of times this cycle but using contraception as I feel like we are both still afraid to commit to pregnancy again just yet 😅 I think next cycle will definitely be one I'm keen to try hard at, but just trying to monitor this current cycle and see if the length is a bit more normal. I don't really want to be unwell on our upcoming holiday or return to work from my long mat leave already pregnant!

ttcthoughts · 15/07/2023 05:16

@Optimistic66 im very curious how do you fix that 🙈🙈 I hope he’s ok

Argh @Optimistic66 !! I did that to an ex once (not deliberately, promise 🤭) Ouch! I wish him a speedy recovery.

I’m on cd1 again, AF is here. I really stupidly wasted a digital yesterday before my period started, as I had ran out of other tests. Now I have none and will try to resist buying more until I’ve missed a period.

Hey ladies. I have started using easy at home and I have no clue 🙈 do these look peak or high? They are saying low on the app 🙄🙄

Come wait with me - July onwards
Goldie1234 · 15/07/2023 20:02

The cd21s look high to me !

Congratulations @Scarletthoping !! How are tou feeling ?

Vic231 · 15/07/2023 20:21

Congratulations @Scarletthoping ♥️

ttcthoughts · 15/07/2023 20:28

Thank you @Goldie1234 i thought the same. I was using the clear blue digital before but they were getting to expensive and these are really good but I app doesnt seem great with picking it up 🙈🙈

Yeah agree cd21 looks high, but could go higher still. My peaks have ranged from 0.65 to 1.24 over the last six months.
