Congrats to @pinkandredflowers and @Scarletthoping on bfps last cycle, hope all goes well in the pregnancy.

Here we go...

Ignore the above 😂
Here is my chart

@BlossomTree123 I think temp increases at dpo 1. I didn't temp yesterday but that should have been dpo 1 for me (I was up at 4 am with UTI, so couldn't temp or temp would have been wrong)

@missmae hoping this is your cycle!!!! Maybe the smear made your ovulation more intense?

@HelloMoon87 that Sao helpful. So maybe my temp should increase from tomorrow? I know I must be ovulating as I’ve had the white CM, high sex drive the usual, but haven’t had any pains etc… so makes you question

@BlossomTree123 i thought the same but I was like surely not because the smear would just cause inflammation of the cervix I didn’t think it would cause more ovary pain… who knows, bodies are strange! 😂

@missmae bodies are a weird thing!!

I think I am ovulating today as started getting the usual ovulation pain (not painful but you know what I mean)

@missmae missed your message! Urgh I get UTIs all the time as well, there was a vaccine I did many years ago and for years didn't have it, then restarted. It was experimental vaccine going private.

Taking it easy sounds good 👍

@BlossomTree123 ah you're ovulating today? So temp will increase today. Saying that I know some people temp increase is slower so don't worry if it's not very high. you can also do day 21 hormone test to check progesterone aside from temping, to confirm ovulation x

@BlossomTree123 I mean tomorrow, dpo 1! Not today

@missmae I'm feeling a bit meh today. Might be the weather though. Last two days a bit teary, cried the whole of Barbie 😂

@HelloMoon87 thank you, I don’t know if I can do anymore tests, the ones I do confuse me ahah!

yes had like little pains where my ovary would be so think it may have been ovulation today. As I had the ovulation CM sat and the peak tests Saturday and yesterday. So thinking it all seems right. Will do my temp in the morning to confirm. Some women’s temp doesn’t change though does it? Hoping DTD the past 3 days means there was enough swimmers to get caught 😂 we will see

@BlossomTree123 really good timing, I have everything crossed for you. Let us know how the temp goes tomorrow xx

@BlossomTree123 ahh good luck to you. I'm 7DPO today and itching to test but know it's too early. I got the faintest of faint positives at 8DPO with my daughter but that was on a FRER and I swear they're impossible to get these days???

Fingers crossed this is your month! 🤞

@Ecgx congratulations! That's a lovely positive test. Hopefully you'll bring us all some luck ❤️

Hi girlies, hoping I can join? I’m 29 and ttc #1! I had a chemical pregnancy I lost at 4W5D early June, have had one cycle since (actually ovulated on my wedding day and was so hopeful for a wedding night baby but it wasn’t meant to be) and now I’m 7-9DPO. I didn’t test my LH this month due to being on my honeymoon so had to go with the algorithm/ cervical mucus to work it out. I did do a Proov PDG test when I got home and it was positive for progesterone & my BBT is up at 37 so I definitely must have ovulated.

This TWW is driving me nuts, I think due to the natural low after wedding/ honeymoon and going back to normality and then the classic PMS symptoms are to blame. I tested today and was negative but hopefully just too early.

I haven’t had many symptoms this cycle other than sharp pains in my uterus/ pelvic area around 5-6DPO and sore boobs the last two days. When I was pregnant before I had ALL the symptoms so probably out this month.

BD to you all, hopefully will see some lovely BFPs in here soon ✨

@MLN89 thank you so much I hope you guys get your bfps for those April bubbas too x

@HelloMoon87 @MLN89 i know im
hoping it’s all good timing. We will see!!
yes the wait to test is horrendous, but it saves the crap feeling of seeing a negative doesn’t it. I’d just try and wait it out as much as you can. That’s what I’m going to do. But I know next week i Will be the same

Aww thanks @BlossomTree123! I wish I knew what was going on! How has your journey been so far? Xx

Temp has stayed the same so I’m confused. Do I just not get a bbt rise.

@BlossomTree123 it might also be tomorrow as your evening peak is quite similar to next morning opk. Keep opk and bbt just for few more days.
Are you using the right bbt thermometer? I think they are meant to be taken vaginally or orally and with 2 decimals.
Also lots of women have more gradual increase in temperature. So just keep at it.

@HelloMoon87 oo no I have an ear thermometer so maybe that’s it? I’m also thinking I did it wrong at the start of my cycle, I know a few times I did it after going to the loo as I forgot. So it’s only the last few days I’ve done it first thing so maybe it isn’t accurate this month. I will keep doing it, but need to get one that you can do orally.

my LH strips are definitely getting lighter now, so I do think I ovulated either sun/mon, so I’m either 1/2dpo now.

@BlossomTree123 yep likely the thermometer is not accurate enough, might be better to not temp with it. For me, ear thermometer never worked. Sounds very promising and you know when you ovulated!

@HelloMoon87 exactly I’m going to go with when I think as the CM and the tests added up to the same time. So fingers crossed

My confusing ovulation saga continues. Lots of EWCM this morning so I did an opk and it was positive...on cycle day 20. So guess I'm back to the start of TWW!

DTD this morning once I realised, and that will be it until Thursday (quite impressed we fitted it in at all as my husband has a job interview today then I'm away the next 2 nights 🤣) so who knows, chances probably fairly low this month...🤷.

I am using clear blue 4 days plus ovulation tests and am on 2nd day of flashy smiley face but feel like I’m getting ovulation cramps. Has anyone had cramps before getting their peak?

I’ve been away …. Which has helped the TWW 🤣

Although I am only 3/4 DPO not 100%!
testing Thursday 10th - anyone else that time frame hand holding with you 🤭💗

@Doodlestar are your cycles irregular? Have you had another positive this cycle earlier?

@Boobag I did but usually clearblue gets it right. Maybe the body is getting ready for ovulation? Still I'd dtd just in case

@longingtobe23 we are same day but I'll likely test next Tuesday, dpo 10 is my weakness
