Testing August 2024

[spamOFtheDAY]

Hi ladies, CD 1 - today - ready and feeling good about a new cycle and will be testing beginning of August

Booked in for fertility tests at the end of July and hoping to find some answers or help at that time

Anyone with me?

❤️ 🌈 🌟

Hey everyone! I’m new here and this is my first month TTC to add to our family ❤️ I believe in cycle day 11 today and expect to ovulate in the next few days. We haven’t DTD yet this month and will probably do it a couple of times this week. Trying to be more “relaxed” this time round but I can tell it’s not going to work 😂😂

Thank you so much for the links! Although AF is here, that means I am one cycle away from CP and this new cycle will be less affected by it which is great! 😆Thank you so much for creating this thread and it is good to have cycle buddies and test in the same month otherwise I would be quite lonely on this ttc journey.

CD7 for me today! Planning on DTD every other day, I can’t decide whether to test for ovulation or not this time - I’ve done it every cycle so far and always ovulate day 12-14. Id like to not test and ‘relax’ more but I’m not sure if it’ll have the opposite effect 😂

I’m on CD2 now, so quite a wait still until ovulation.

I am also on CD2. Which CD do you think you will ovulate?

I'm obsessed with POAS 😝 though I'd love to not, I just need to know!
CD 11 here so started testing today.
Hoping I ovulate a bit earlier again this month instead of day 17/18 as usual

I would estimate cd17-19. It was cd17 last cycle but before that it has typically been cd18-19. I will start testing lh from cd8-10 I think. When do you think you will ovulate?

I'd like to join please, have been watching this thread for a few days hoping I wouldn't have to but I'm fairly sure AF is on the way after some vvvvfl last week and a few bright white negatives today😖 this will be my third cycle trying for #2 and second post chemical

We are going on holiday tomorrow so going to take this month without ovulation tests etc 🤞🏻try be more relaxed

Sending positivity to everyone

I am not sure of this cycle although the previous two after CP have been quite consistent, 34 days. I ovulated on CD 22 and CD23. I expect this third cycle to be more normal. I used to ovulate earlier than CD21 before 2 MCs so I hope to ovulate around CD19/20. Will start testing LH from CD6.

Before AF arrived, I was also looking at this thread and thinking if I would join or not. I am sorry for your loss and CP sucks. Today is CD2 of my third cycle after CP and I wish you will get your rainbow baby this month!
Not testing LH is really hard to do but I agree with you on not using OPKs this month. It will help you to relax and stop obsessing over ttc. That was me for the first two cycles after CP, trying different devices etc. I admit it was fun and I learnt quite a lot. 😆
But this cycle I won't anymore and I will test my LH levels with calm. 😁

Hey. My ovulation tests show I will be ovulating. So fingers crossed ;)

CD13 today, hoping this is me ovulating for this month. Managed to BD yesterday and today so fingers crossed. Not sure if we can squeeze anymore in 😂

Sorry to hear about last month. Hope this cycle is positive and you have a lovely holiday x

@LucyCL @spamOFtheDAY thanks both and hope you have positive cycles too!

Morning all, how's everyone doing? I'm feeling a bit down. CD13 and no sign of EWCM though my app says I'm due to ovulate on Friday. Feel like I usually see it by now (relatively short cycle, 25-27 days). Also haven't DTD last two days. I know the key days are still to come but the lack of EWCM is perturbing me...

Morning!

How long before O do you normally get it?

I've found I'll notice it and so take an LH test and it'll be high so seems like not much notice!

also CD 13 here

I hate having to "calculate" when the best time to DTD is (husband wouldn't be able to do it every day or more than 3 times so there's a lot resting on my predictions and maths 😜)

To be honest I have a feeling I'm similar to you - it usually appears fairly late in the cycle/close to O. I think I'm just being paranoid! Also I feel like Flo tends to predict ovulation slightly sooner than it really happens. So hopefully all is ok. My DH is the same, can just about manage every day but only for a very short period!! It's all so stressful and complicated!!

Hi all. CD8 for me today. Planning to try SPEM so will aim to DTD every second day from today, and ovulation testing from Friday which will be CD10. Never tested for ovulation before, but I only use a free app to track my periods so I assume their calculation of ovulation could be quite a way off. Will be interesting to see what my cycle actually is…

Good luck to everyone!

Floo we are cycle buddies! I'm exactly the same as you, though I might try and DTD every day around days 12-15, depending on how DH is feeling 😅will see what OPKs say too, never used them before so I am intrigued. Like you, I am relying on an app to tell me so I could be way off!

Good evening to everyone. And I wish you good luck. Just wondering since I am on holidays and ovulated the other day. Is it ok to consume alchohol or reduces the fertility?

CD14 and got a static smiley on the clear blue digital OPK.
Think I may have peaked overnight as the cheapie LH strip isn't quite as dark as yesterday (but will test again a bit later).

"Scheduled" to DTD tonight anyway 🤞DH can fulfill his role!

For some reason it makes me happy to be ovulating a bit earlier - I think I hate the wait for LH to rise more than the TWW (at least in the TWW you've done everything you can and you have that bit of hope)

How's everyone else getting on?

They say "drink until you see pink" or something along those lines!

Enjoy!

Good luck!!

I'm on CD14 and LH seems to be rising (I think) - checked with FMU which I know is not ideal so will check again in a few hours. Flo has predicted ovulation tomorrow so that could still be right. DTD yesterday and will try for today, tomorrow and possibly Saturday. Have a weirdly negative feeling about this cycle - maybe because I'm still not seeing any EWCM.

Hi guys - TTC No1, cd15 here and day 3 of flashing smiley so I'd expect ovulation day after tomorrow. Ovulation slightly delayed I assume because of my most recent miscarriage at the end of May. This is our second cycle trying again this time round. Not expecting anything as all 3 of my pregnancies so far took a long time to conceive.

We DTD yesterday on CD8. Will start testing for ovulation tomorrow. So confused about when to test - the instructions say after your longest sleep, but everything online seems to say FMU isn’t accurate for ovulation testing?
