Testing July 2024

[LucyCL]

So this is for those who are trying to conceive in June crossing over to July in 2024. Baby dust to all of you and may July be the month!

@hopeful4us I've just caved and tested. I think I see a vvvfl but who knows
Will try again in the morning. Don't wanna get my hopes up

That could be the beginning of something! 😀

Today is CD11 and I feel like my body is gearing up for ovulation. Have been tracking my BBT so half way there based on the past data. My cycle usually lasts for 32 days and 12 days for the luteal phase so I expect to ovulate on CD20 (29.6.24).

This ttc journey must be hard for you and I really hope everything will go smoothly for you!

Good luck to you! 😃 Are you using BBT and LH strips to track?

@LucyCL thanks. I will use lh strips yes; I’m unsure about bbt this time. I now have an Apple Watch so I might see how that goes in predicting my temperature for a few cycles first. Then switch back to bbt if it contradicts the lh strips or doesn’t work.

I have also started to use my apple watch since the beginning of this cycle. Currently my BBT, RHR and wrist temperature don't match. The LH strips work fine as long as your urine is not diluted. But When I had LH surge last cycle, no matter how much liquid I drank, my LH strips still showed positive.
I am skeptical about using the thermometer to measure BBT because it is taken orally. So, for this cycle, I also started to use OvuSense which takes BBT internally. I will compare it with my other OPKs.

Hi
thought I would join
i had a 97 day cycle after a loss in February

I'm 2dpo ovulated cd 28 confirmed with LH and BBT .
the natural cycles app says to test July 2nd .
anyone else due to test July 2nd?

I would like to join! I think I'm around 7dpo. Currently not having periods due to breastfeeding but I am currently weaning my toddler and had a positive ovulation.

Having a few symptoms but also being realistic it could be hormonal changes from cutting down on feeding too.

Good luck to everyone this month!

Well we managed to dtd like 4 days before ovulation and the day after as I was away for work 🙈 better than no chance at all I guess! Also glad to get a positive ovulation test as last miscarriage I didn't ovulate before my period came back so it's good to know things are on track for AF in 2 weeks from now x

Based on my BBT, I am half way to ovulation however my RHR keeps decreasing which also doesn't match BBT. The wrist temperature doesn't really tell me anything either. What about yours?

Welcome and sorry for your loss! This is my second cycle after a CP. I expect to ovulate around 29/6/24 so will start testing from 1 dpo. I wish you will get a BFP soon!

That is good to know! At least you know what is expected! Which dpo are you?

Clue says I should expect AF on the 3rd so I’ll be testing on the 4th when we return from our holiday! Fingers crossed for everyone on this thread, let July be our month ❤️

Don’t blame you for caving, I’d probably do the same but I have the worst line eyes! Let us know what it looks like in the morning x

@LucyCL oh yes, how odd. I can’t say about the wrist temp yet. I have only had 4-5 readings so far. I have just started a new cycle so at least it times well for that. Currently on cd5.

Has anyone experienced a BBT dip before ovulation? If yes and it is possible, I would like to see your charts please. I think I had a BBT dip this morning. Because I am using 3 apps to track BBT for the first time, seeing this BBT dip on all apps is surprising.

Has anyone experienced ovulation bleeding? 😅

Sorry @LucyCL I’m fairly new to this and haven’t experienced either of those things. Both seem totally plausible according to Dr Google!

@LucyCL yup I have! It was like streaks of bright red blood in clear mucus. Only like once right on ovulation day (weirdly the month I most recently conceived I had it, but no other months for ages!). Had it this month too, first cycle post MMC. Unfortunately my timing wasn't good for TTC as I was away for work but hey ho.

@hopeful4us Also I also found out it could be ovulation bleeding. I didn't know it existed until this morning. 😂
@moosey89 Wow, my spotting is exactly what you described! I was expecting to get the LH surge today then it dropped a bit this morning with spotting. My BBT stayed the same. I wonder if I will get the peak soon. I hope this new cycle will go well for you!

@LucyCL I tend to have a small dip before ovulation and it normally looks like this (or pretty similar) each month.

Has anyone started their 2WW? I am still waiting for my LH surge. 😂

Hi again @LucyCL 😂 I'd like to join please. Think I am still waiting for ovulation too, currently CD16 post chemical

Fingers crossed for both of us for getting STICKY BFPs! 😂
