@GreenPickle how are you getting on?

I’m getting close to peak again today 😣😣😣

Edited

Perhaps you could be having multiple ovulation? You will release more eggs this cycle ?

Hi Ladies,

Can I join in on this thread?
29 and our first month of TTC for baby #1. Currently in my TWW. My 30th is next week & promised myself to only test afterwards.

Is anyone on here using Natural Cycles to track/can share their experience with how accurate it is? I’ve been tracking BBT & using ovulation tests for the last few months to become more familiar with my cycle.

any other apps / tracking to recommend?
x

I only started to use Mira two days ago and I bought it because I want to understand my body and my hormone levels better after a CP. I also use premom and Flo.

Marie1990x · 01/06/2024 20:15

@BlueberryPoppy123 what dpo are you? I’ve seen a few people on here not get even just a faint BFP until AF is due/late 🤞🏻.

We’ve been ttc for over a year now and I feel like just giving up at this point. If it’s not happened by now I don’t know why I keep trying. Losing the will now. I’m always positive in the lead up and then once my peak hits I become obsessive.

@Irish812 your holiday will definitely keep your mind occupied ☺️. What a great distraction at this time!

@LucyCL I have no idea what’s going on with my body this cycle. If I didn’t have a BBT rise (I think it’s risen enough) then I’d assume I just didn’t ovulate initially. My head is honestly scrambled 🤯

There is one way to figure out. It is good to test your pdg level to see if you have ovulated.

I started to use Proov's pdg test one month ago.
This is how it works if you are interested.
There are 6 days to take the tests.
Day 1 (Follicular phase, baseline pdg test): the first day after your period ends or on CD5. Expect this test result to be negative, as this provides an important baseline result to which you can compare your future results.

Here is what I found regarding the importance of the PDG baseline tests.
"To understand what “elevated” means for you, we first need a good idea of what your natural levels look like so that later on we can tell whether or not your PdG levels reached an adequate level in order to allow for the best possible chance at conception.
Additionally, baselines can help us confirm whether or not you ovulated, in the event that your 7-10 DPP tests weren’t quite positive. If there is a significant enough change in intensity between the test line on your baseline test to your 7 DPP test — meaning your 7 DPP test is significantly lighter — then we can confirm that ovulation did in fact occur."

Day 2 (Fertile window): the day when you detect peak fertility
Day 3 -6 (Luteal phase): 7dpo - 10 dpo, 4 days pdg testing. Your levels cam fluctuate from day to day.
Positive: If only a single line shows (the "control line"), your test is positive, indicating elevated PdG.
Negative: When two lines appear, the result is negative, indicating PdG levels are not elevated enough for a positive result.
Note: A baseline reading will typically be negative, although the test line may be faint.

Successful ovulation: Positive results during testing window (sustained PdG levels during the testing window) indicates a successful ovulation this cycle.

You must use FMU and I dip the test strip in the cup for 15 seconds and wait for 10 minutes then I use the Proov app to read the result.

In your case, you can start testing now. Usually your Proov app will tell you the concentration level of pdg. If it is above 5, then it is positive and that means ovulation has occurred.
I hope it will help you to determine if you have ovulated or not.

Marie1990x · 01/06/2024 21:00

@LucyCL oh wow that’s very interesting! I’ve never seen these tests before.

Is it this one on Amazon?

So I could test between 7-10dpo x4? Definitely seems worthwhile for peace of mind. Thanks so much for recommending!

Just to give you a comparison, I have attached two pictures. One is the last cycle (7dpo -10dpo) from the Proov app, and I had pdg 5.5 ug/ml on 8dpo which means I ovulated. The second one is this cycle (2dpp -4dpo) from Mira, my pdg is above 5 ug/ml so that also means I ovulated. I hope this explanation helps. 🙂

Yes! But Proov Pdg test strips are quite expensive and that is why I decided to buy Mira to monitor my hormone levels closely( expensive investment but it is worth it in the long run)

BlueberryPoppy123 · 01/06/2024 21:37

@LucyCL 18dpo AF was due this Tuesday just gone.

Amazing thanks a lot for this, will definitely look into it more.

I’ve just done another opk and it’s substantially lower than before. Accompanied with thick, white cm so I really don’t think I’m ovulating now

LucyCL · 01/06/2024 22:05

BlueberryPoppy123 · 01/06/2024 19:29

Another day... Another bfn 😫 still no period but the cramps continue... I keep willing a 2nd line to appear but I think I'm just having a really long cycle. Like @GreenPickle I just want my period to arrive at this point. So I can get on with this months cycle. I don't know how the ladies who've been trying for so long do it.

Have you ovulated based on the ovulation kit ? I had a 35 day cycle in January and before that I used to have 28 day cycles. So the January cycle was 1 week late and I was feeling really stressed during the month. I also kept testing if I was pregnant however I kept getting negative results. Maybe your current cycle is a bit like my Jan cycle ? I don’t think I ovulated that cycle because I had two BBT rises , one was around CD10 which was super early and another one was 6 days before I got AF (CD29). This Jan cycle was a weird one.

In that case, I think you might have ovulated already. Because some women tend to have LH surges before and after ovulation. I used to have just one LH surge which led to LH peak. Then after CP, I had 3 LH rises and that got me so confused. After the ovulation, my LH stayed relatively high but it was slowly decreasing.

I hope so as we worked hard when I got my first peak 😂. Will keep an eye on OPK’s for any more rises. I keep checking my chart from when I got pregnant before and had 3 days of highs after my
peak then, so hopefully it’s nothing too concerning x

hopeful4us · 02/06/2024 08:54

Think I’m in a similar position to @Irish812 and @LucyCL

My BBT are elevated for the 3rd day in a row so I’m assuming I ovulated on the 29/30th. We DTD on 25th & 28th so hopefully within the fertile window.

I know the TWW is torturous for so many but I’m really excited that I have something to aim for (rather than just waiting for AF and not knowing when she must return).

Let me know when you test and I’ll keep you updated!

ClassicQuill · 02/06/2024 09:17

Hello! Have been away from this thread for a week because DH had to rush to see his mother in hospital after she had a medical emergency. She's in another country and it was a bit touch-and-go for a couple of days, but she's getting better now and he's been able to come back home.

The plan is just to DTD every other day for the whole month. I have PCOS and mildly irregular cycles anyway, plus the thought of testing makes me feel a little stressed out so I think we'll just try and keep it low key and see what happens. Still cycle #1 for us and new to everything.

Wishing everyone all the best of luck 💕

Irish812 · 02/06/2024 09:20

@LucyCL thank you! How long are you ttc? I started using natural cycles to track BBT since sept 2023 when I came off the pill. So technically 9 months ago but didn't start properly TTC until Jan/Feb. I also use the conception plus fertility lube. Tried SMEP method last cycle but this cycle dtd every 2nd day once period ended. I will not be symptom spotting this cycle as it makes seeing BFN harder when you convince yourself.
@hopeful4us yes once BBT is elevated 3 days in a row it's confirmed ovulation!

Fx for everyone this cycle ❤️

MaryMax · 02/06/2024 15:48

Hi all hope you don’t mind me jumping on. TTC #1 and now onto our second cycle. AF arrived yesterday, so back to the start again for June!

Lovedatforme · 02/06/2024 15:54

Also hope you don't mind me joining. TTC baby no 2 (he's 8mo now), had a recent MMC. I suffer with endometriosis and have a low AMH level so we're eager to have another baby soon.

Had to take medication to manage it. My dr said we can TTC again as soon as possible so I'm just waiting for this to pass before we try again.

Has anyone else had medical management of an MMC and how long did you wait before trying again?

GreenPickle · 02/06/2024 17:07

Marie1990x · 01/06/2024 15:58

@GreenPickle how are you getting on?

I’m getting close to peak again today 😣😣😣

Edited

ahh! How are your tests now? Have you taken a pregnancy test?

mine look to be going down but still all over the place. Have been obsessed with taking them 😂 not even sure which peak to go by now?

I did read that multiple surges mean multiple eggs which could mean twins 🙈🙈🙈

im getting af-like symptoms but not sure if it’s the hormones sorting my body out or if AF is coming!

Oh my days what’s going on with these opk’s 😅. Have you tried a different brand to double check? Saying that how different could they be. Did you do a pregnancy test?

My OPK’s are a lot lighter. My BBT has stayed high and I’m having a lot of lotion like cm. Something I don’t usually have so I’m hoping it’s a good indication that I actually ovulated 🤞🏻.

I haven’t done a pregnancy test yet, I’m only 4dpo, max 5dpo (one app says 4 and the other 5 🙄)

No haven’t tried a different brand! I think my body is just out of whack since the CP and I have only just ovulated! Will be taking a clearblue ultra early digital in the AM though just to cross it off the list.

if AF doesn’t arrive, I’ll take another test next next next week! 🤞

i think flo starts counting DPO 2 days after ovulation for some reason, might because an egg can be released between 12-48 hours after an OPK.

I am right behind you on 3dpo (not really sure what positive Opk to go by so going by the first one!)

Yeah good idea. Sounds like the CP has definitely done a number on your cycle 😔. Fingers crossed you get answers soon.

Yeah I’m taking the DPO with a pinch of salt within the apps. I think I’m more likely to be 4dpo going off my temps, but time will tell. I’m just not very patient 😂

Thank you! It’s just a waiting game!

I’m super super busy this week so hopefully that’ll take my mind off things but I just can’t imagine every being pregnant 😩 this is only my second cycle so I can’t really complain but did not think it would be this emotionally draining! It’s literally all I think about!

yesss, take the later dpo so you don’t test too soon! Fingers crossed for both of us! When do you think you’ll test?

Busy is good during this horrendous wait! Ahhh it’s shit isn’t it. But as soon as you see that BFP and the scans it’s worth all the torment 😊.

I’m a serial early tester 🤦🏻‍♀️. I only work part time (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), which will be a good distraction as I’m in the office so no temptation, then probably test Thursday

Redapple21 · 02/06/2024 19:50

Hi ladies just jumping on. TTC baby number 2. Cycle 2. AF due today and hasn't arrived yet so I'm feeling hopeful but also anxious waiting for it to arrive! If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I will buy a test on my way home from work. I feel like the longer you wait to test, the more it keeps the hope alive? Don't want to see BFN. No real symptoms apart from maybe my boobs feel fuller and a bit sensitive but that could be in my head!
