Really sorry if I’ve missed anyone xx

@fleur89 Oh my goodness Congratulations <3

Thank you so much everyone! Just got a 2-3 weeks and strong lines this morning so feeling somewhat reassured.

6dpo I had spotting so tested, I held it at all angles but didn't see anything. 7dpo I wasn't sure if I saw something or not. 8dpo morning I had a definite squinted and 8dpo night it was stronger but still super faint. 9dpo it was a definite faint line (that my husband could actually believe 😂). 10dpo I took a digital and got 1-2 weeks. This morning at 15dpo my line looked strong so I took another digital and got 2-3 weeks

Wow @fleur89 that 15DPO line is STRONG lol like where has all that dye even come from?! 😂 such lovey news x

That is a strong little bean! ♥️

Congratulations @fleur89 that looks so strong! xx

So my husband semi broken penis - only has a sprain apparently... it now working.... I wish it was a more exciting/interesting story but he obviously got carried away and it slipped out PAINFULLY.

I'm on CD40 - and no ovulation, no period and no pregnancy... (i've checked) - Its so frustrating waiting for the next cycle to start with no idea when. I've not had a cycle this long for almost ever...

Anovulatory cycles are the worst. I genuinely think worse than cycles where you can atleast try.

ah yeah @Optimistic66 I agree. Now I know I have anovulatory cycles it does make me feel a bit down. Not knowing whether trying is pointless that month. I think that’s why I’m just putting ttc on the back burner. Still hopeful I’ll get a positive when I least expect it.

Sucha strong line!

Im currently on 8DPO and im dying to test... going to wait until friday though! no signs either way which is always good

@fleur89 congratulations, I am so happy for you! What brilliant line progression as well

Its so frustrating isnt it? I find TTC so all consuming - i wish my brain could switch off - but I am an all or nothing person.

I think if I EVER get my next period - i will give in a couple months of BBT etc and then i think im going switch off too mentally.

How long between cycles if you are not ovulating? it such a trickery from our bodies isnt it. How long are your cycles?

Hi all I'm after a bit of advice.. I tested for ovulation yesterday and got a peak on fermometer digital OPK ( ++) . However got a low result on CB digital OPK (circle) so I assumed the CB test isnt sensitive enough..

We had guests round all day and managed to DTD just after midnight last night.

I tested again this morning and got a low result on Femometer now as well.. :-(

Today is showing as ovulation day according to the App and had a BBT dip this morning..

Can somebody advise if I have a chance in TTC this month or have I missed my window.

I've attached some images FYI.

Thank you

@mahii95 im no expert but I’d say you are ovulating either today or tomorrow based on that big BBT dip.

Mine always does that the day of O or the day before.

So even if the opk didn't pick it up? I'm still good?

Thank you xx

Hopefully so - maybe you have a quick surge and you’ve missed it or it will be picked up later today if you test again. If your BBT then rises sharply and stays up then you’ll know you have ovulated.

@Optimistic66 my cycles have been getting shorter, they were 35-36 days at start of year and now 29-30. I had been taking B6, which I think helped them het shorter, but I’ve stopped now as I think it was making my carpal tunnel worse (had tingling in fingers at night). My anovulatory cycle was no different in length. Who knows what will happen now I’m off the B6. Just going to roll with it.

I can see it must be v frustrating having a super long irregular cycle and not knowing what’s going on.

This is what my chart did this month and I got a BFP around 8/9dpo. Just in case helpful...

App predicted ovulation on July 10th, I think that was correct although I may have ovulated towards the end of the day on July 9th.

Just to add I think I missed catching my ultimate peak as I never got a reading higher than 0.7. On the 8th I got a static smiley on CB digital OPK so I prioritised DTD that day (twice!) and the day after on the 9th. The 10th (predicted O day) was a Monday and we worked late so no chance that day.

Thanks for the pics and charts @fleur89 I love looking at all these ha

@mahii95 I think you caught it ! Fingers crossed

@Optimistic66 urgh so frustrating, definitely worse than a month you can try ! Do you have cycles like this often ? I remember having tonsillitis once and not ovulating but obviously thought I must be pregnant and all the pregnancy tests I was doing had to be wrong 🙈🙈 the doc eventually sent me for bloods which came back that I hadn't ovulated..

I'm cd15 and lh strips are getting darker 🙌🏽 🤞🏽

Ladies would you say this is a peak?
I am CD12 and this morning I got a static smiley on the clear blue advanced digital but my easy @ home didn’t look quite positive…. I’ve been testing with easy @ homes during the day and just now I’ve got this.

@CinderRosie that looks positive to me.. I think some OPKs are more sensitive than others as I got a low circle on CB OPK on CD14 but got peak on Fermometee digital opk

But the smiley and that OPK look positive to me..
I would DTD tonight tomorrow and after as well x

looking like a high/peak reading to me too @CinderRosie , how are things today?

How is everyone?

No tracking this month but both my cycle tracking apps say I would ovulate today based on previous data. I’ve had the usual ewcm I see at this time of month and we DTD twice in last week so hopefully there’s a chance. Hopefully can DTD today too. It does feel less stressful this way.

My next challenge is to not test until I’ve definitely missed my period. Wish me luck.

So glad you're feeling calm about this month @HavinKittens !! I think you and I have similar cycles and I'm on CD1 today ! Anyone else in TWW? We're on holiday at the moment so lots of down time to obsess haha I'm already excited for cd8 to arrive lol 🙈🙈🙈

@HavinKittens this was the first month where I thought about doing ovulation strips but I know what I'm like and I will get obsessed. I also think if I missed DTD at peak it would be an awful TWW of being pessimistic. Trying to be spontaneous but semi planned in my approach 😂

@Goldie1234 1dpo too? Yes we are synced!

@Vic231 ”spontaneous but semi planned” is exactly what I’m aiming for

@HavinKittens you’ve done the right thing by not tracking this month, and looks like we are cycle buddies this time! pretty sure I either ovulated yesterday or it’s happening today. I haven’t done any OPKs today yet, yesterdays were still positive the same as Thursday. We didn’t get to DTD Thursday night as I fell asleep which I annoyed myself about lol, but we DTD yesterday morning first thing. Tried to again this morning but we were in a rush to get somewhere so it didn’t quite work. Stressing I’ve missed my window, will hopefully DTD again later today.
