I’m either 2 or 3DPO today! Normally I know for sure but I ran out of ovulation tests and they were delivered late 😭 I do have a lot of cramping on the right side tho but I’m not symptom spotting!

@Rightnow1245 hi! I’m currently cycle day 7! I ordered some Macca root expecting it to be here by now but now it’s saying the 10th so I’m not sure it’ll have any affects ok me depending on when I ovulate! I normally ovulate around cycle day 15!

Hi girls, hoping someone could help sorry to jump on. I think I am 5/6 dpo, I’ve just been to the toilet and had bowel movement straight after there was very light spotting looking like implantation bleeding, I never spot outside of my period so I’m a bit confused. I feel really crampy now, has anyone had implantation bleeding after bowel movement?

Rightnow1245 · 05/08/2023 19:45

@Jess1997 oh that’s annoying that it’s taking so long to come.. I haven’t heard of it before you said about it, but looks good 😊 Have you started testing yet?

I thinking about doing the SMEM as I heard it’s pretty effective x

Rightnow1245 · 05/08/2023 19:47

@Username119 I have heard implantation bleeding happens from 6dpo to 12dpo but i didn’t have any with my two pregnancies but I know it does happen often x

@Jess1997 @Rightnow1245 hiya! I’m on CD5, doing opks which are low at the minute as expected but slowly increasing.

fertile week starts next Thursday and expected to ovulate on the 15th of August.

fingers crossed for everyone this cycle 😊

Rightnow1245 · 06/08/2023 07:55

@CatiaR I am a few days ahead of you then.. todays is the start of my fertile week according to me app but last month it was wrong 🤦‍♀️
I think we are just going to DTD every other day until ovulation and see how that works. I still getting faint lines on the opks, how often do you test? X

ttcthoughts · 06/08/2023 07:56

@Rightnow1245 sstill very negative opks

currently CD11 I normally ov on cd18 so still a while to go yet.

I hate the TTC wait though 😂😂

ttcthoughts · 06/08/2023 07:56

@Rightnow1245 how are you ?

CatiaR · 06/08/2023 08:17

@Rightnow1245 at the moment I’m only testing once a day but as fertile week approaches I’ll be doing twice a day.

my tests are still low at the moment but slowly increasing so I am assuming its doing its thing but I have nothing to compare it to just yet.

I’m doing todays one in the afternoon as same as the rest so not sure how today’s is yet.

I’ll be doing the same tho DTD every other day in fertile week until closer to ovulation which hopefully will do the day before the day of and the day after.

@ttcthoughts it takes a while doesn’t it? It feels like a long time but I’m finding interest to see how my BBT and opks are doing so that helps and if this month is not the one then at least I’ll have some data to compare to! 😊

finger crossed for everyone this month !

Hi! Can I join? We have been going with the if it happens it happens for the last year with no success. This month is our first month tracking ovulation using the pre mom app and easy at home testing strips. My cycles are pretty regular between 28 and 31 days. According to the app I am CD 9 and should ovulate CD 12. How often does everyone use the OPKs and at what times of day?

CatiaR · 06/08/2023 08:42

@Ecj92 welcome! I’ve only started using them this month and currently doing once a day at about 5-6pm when I was getting home from work so keeping that for now and then in a few days will start doing twice a day and do another one in the morning after 10-11am or so.

I don’t think there’s a super specific time for you to do these apart from not with FMU as LH is still rising throughout the morning after you wake up.

fingers crossed for you this month!

Ecj92 · 06/08/2023 08:55

@CatiaR thanks! These are the ones I have done so far.

CatiaR · 06/08/2023 09:02

@Ecj92 I’d say they are ok but everyone is different as your values are higher than mine and I’ve seen others that show even lower and then get a very sudden spike! Since its both our first time doing I trust that eventually we will see a pattern come up. The app is good at prompting you to do things and don’t worry if it doesn’t tell you you got your peak I believe because everyones LH levels can be different and the app will get better at detecting your personal values as times go on. I’ve seen totally different scenarios in different people so its hard to tell but increases every day i’d say its good and eventually we should see a spike 😊

Rightnow1245 · 06/08/2023 11:37

@CatiaR i have been doing it twice a day but I’m confused as they are not getting darker it is staying the same or getting lights than when I first tested 🤦‍♀️

@Ecj92 welcome.. I missed my ovulation this month too as I think the opks are defo the way to go.. both times with my boys I did opk and feel pregnant.. last month I didn’t an we were seeing what happened and it didn’t work so went back to opk for this month 😊

Rightnow1245 · 06/08/2023 11:41

Tag the wrong person in previous post @ttcthoughts x

CatiaR · 06/08/2023 11:56

@Rightnow1245 I see, I’m not that knowledgeable so wouldn’t be able to tell you why but hopefully before ovulation you’ll have a surge!

Jess1997 · 06/08/2023 15:23

@CatiaR @Ecj92 I do them morning and afternoon when I’m coming up to ovulation!
mine are always super low and then all of a sudden they spike! I also find when I’m coming up to ovulation they’ll be low in the mornings and higher in the afternoon!

@Rightnow1245 i always find the opposite the months we don’t track we end up getting pregnant 🙈🙈 had a higher low opkntoday though which is earlier than normal.

Thornberry1 · 07/08/2023 15:31

Guys! I'm going mad, and am now out of sync with you all annoyingly because my AF still hasn't arrived. Anyone ever had this? I'm on day 38 (so 5ish days late).

I haven't been overly stressed / lost weight or done anything different this month. Tests still undoubtedly negative.

Anyone else ever had this? Might ask my doctor for clomid. Anyone else done this either?!

Good luck to everyone coming up to O-day! x

Rightnow1245 · 08/08/2023 17:34

@ttcthoughts tell me about it I’m still waiting for ovulation no sign of it at all 🤦‍♀️ have you had any luck yet?

@Thornberry1 with my son I kept getting bfn and not coming on AF, I think day 42 I got a BFP.. hope you will be the one who got their BFP last month x

ttcthoughts · 08/08/2023 18:39

@Rightnow1245 in currently testing! I’m on CD12 I normally ovulate at CD18.

what CD are you now?

Rightnow1245 · 08/08/2023 18:53

I’m on CD12 atm and last month I must of ovulated around now because I only had a 26 day cycle.. but I wasn’t testing so no idea tbh… so I’m guessing you have a short LP? X

Rightnow1245 · 08/08/2023 19:29

@ttcthoughts thought I had tagged you x

ttcthoughts · 08/08/2023 20:08

@Rightnow1245 so were around the same then.
a
i have a 10-12 day LP tbh im not holding much hope for this month. 🙈 I’m just feeling very negative about it now 😂😂
