TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus

@Skyla01 I would assume if I missed the peak I wouldn't still be getting flashy smileys?
I guess time will tell.
Congratulations on your positive tests btw. Hope all goes well for you ✨

When were you girls getting your BFPs? I’m currently on 9DPO (I think) and struggling through this TWW..it never gets easier 😅 did a wee cheapie pregnancy test this morning but was a BFN, appreciate it’s still early in the cycle my AF is due on Friday according to Flo app

@WishingUponARainbow that's true I guess, how annoying for you.

@Twinkles18 I didn't do a test until the day AF was due (approx 12dpo for me) but even then it was very faint.

AF due tomorrow for me and had a big drop in BBT today so looks like it's going to be right on time. Onto the next cycle, just hoping AF is prompt this month!

Good luck to everyone wading through the TWW ❤️

@Twinkles18 I did mine at 12DPO and got a BBFP it was dark as the control and came up within seconds. So probably ovulated a coupoe days sooner ooor implanted sooner and HCG went up quickly.

7DPO feeling very unsure.... Lower abdo feels full and my boobs feel heavy and full.
Nothing else.... Could be PMS. Waiting patiently AF due around 11th Sept. 5 days!

@muffin1996 Congrats again 😄 do you have any symptoms or feel pregnant? I was having cramps, bloating and back ache but everything seems to have stopped so I’m worrying now!

Hi Everyone!
Wondering if I can join in? I’m 7dpo (I think/hope) had a definite LH peak on 29th but this has been a very long cycle.

After having my mirena coil removed 6th June I had 2 periods and then nothing since 26th July, I think my body tried to ovulate earlier in this cycle but never got a true peak on OPK, luckily later in my cycle I had a lot of EWCM which I found strange so started opks again and clear blue digital and got a static smiley on 28th and LH peak on OPK on 29th.

My arms and legs are like jelly yesterday and today aching so much it is so strange and always worse on an evening and I have achy breasts. I’m telling myself it’s an horrendous period coming but obviously really hoping it’s not.
I had a tiny bit of pink CM yesterday at 6dpo like I’d have missed it had I not been looking.

Fx for everyone for BFP’s!

I'm really new to opk and bbt, been TTC#1 few months without testing, last cycle was over 9 weeks long so hoping this testing will help but so far I'm quite confused! Premom tells me I ovulated on 1st September because my bbt spiked after but this would only be cd9. Also bbt didn't stay high for more than a couple days. Never had any LH positive around this time. I think it's really unlikely but it doesn't change when I've been updating bbt and lh. It initially predicted I'd ovulate on Friday coming and my LH was the highest it had been (still only 0.34) yesterday but today barely visible again! Would love to hear some thoughts or experiences! Thanks!

AF arrived this evening, so at least I'm not a week late again. I'm going to go zero alcohol for the next cycle, see if that makes any impact. Time for chocolate for the time being.

Congrats again to everyone who got their BFP, wishing you an easy 9 months! ☺️

@GHJ If your temperature spikes tomorrow, I'd say you maybe ovulated on your 0.34 reading. I'd ignore the premom algorithm saying you've already peaked for now! What OPKs are you using?

@etaketak1991 thanks so much for your message I feel a bit lost with it all! My temperature was the lowest it's been today (35.9c) and I took it twice to check, this was 3am though as knew I wouldn't get 4 hours uninterrupted sleep before being able to take it after that and I'd read that was important. That 0.34 reading was yesterday at around 6pm. I'm wondering if in reality there's nothing really happening, maybe hormones still all out of pattern? Hope you're right though!

@GHJ There's usually a BBT dip on a surge day, so fingers crossed for you 🤞 If your temperature jumps up tomorrow, I'd take that as a good sign! Best of luck ☺️

@Riverofhope congrats to you too! I have really bad bloating, cramping and feeling thirsty but sometimes there’s literally nothing.

I did clear blue digital cos I started doubting myself and thankfully it came up pregnant. Maybe try that too?

I had flashing faces for 11 days then got peak static smile so keep going but I do have a 40+ cycle good luck

@Tigger1116 my cycle is generally around 34-37 days long but I normally get a peak around CD19. Got another flashing smiley tonight - 6 days of the little flashing bugger has never happened to me before!! Your experience gives me hope I'll still get a peak!

I had been taking just folic acid on its own but thought I'd 'upgrade' to Pregnacare conception to see if that improved anything - after reading up on it, a lot of other women seem to have the same experience in that it lengthens their cycle!! Back to just regular old folic acid for me I think!

I'm happy with my progress so far, I'm terrified something will happen after my MMC in April, but fingers crossed I'm feeling quite positive about this one due to my symptoms already. Got my blood booked for the 19th sept and scan the day after and my first booking In appointment on the 4th October, wish me luck ladies

I found the first time tracking I ovulated a few days earlier than I did in august so just keep an eye on your pattern currently on the tww now good luck

How exciting @Lorddenning1
Healthy and happy 9 months. Fingers crossed for a sticky little bean.

Morning all. Swealtering night here. Heatwave!!!
I am 8DPO I guess.
Just having a little nausea (I heard Pregnecare can do that) my first cycle taking them..... Not sure if I should have. I also read ablot of women saying that it lengthens their cycle.
Regretting it now I should have just SMEP and then my normal Vit D, Folic and Omega supplement.

Feeling lower abdo cramps similar to AF ughhhh. Have a feeling I am out this month.

@Lorddenning1 congratulations! How exciting!
I also had a MMC, do you mind if I message you with a few questions please?

@etaketak1991 unfortunately no temperature rise this morning so still not sure what's happening!

Hello all. Also new here and not up to date with the abbreviations. This is only our second month trying. I use the Flo app and tried around the time it suggested ovulation would be and no success. This month we used opks (Clearblue advanced) and my ovulation was 8 days after suggested in the app(cd24) (proberly was the first month too.) my period is usually quite on time with the Flo app. Now I'm concerned ovelulation is too close to my period (cycle around 33 days). Only 1DPO at the minute.

@GHJ Hmm, I'd keep testing then! Maybe you're ovulating late this month x

@HashB yeah no problem, happy to help.
