CD1 - who's with me

[sellingupslow]

Hi!

Just hoping for some company as I start again on CD1 today!

I'm ttc baby 2, this is my second cycle trying! My daughter took just under 12 months to conceive so I'm hopeful I can get pregnant a bit quicker this time, especially as my daughter is already 4.

This month I'm taking proceive max, high dose Omega 3, and CoQ-10 and hoping to achieve 10,000 a day to help with obsessing less 😂

Promised myself this cycle I will. Not. Test. Early 🫣

Last cycle was 25 day cycle, I'm usually between 25 and 28 days! Tracking BBT and using OPKs ☺️

What ovulation tests is everyone using? For my last pregnancy I used the clear blue with the smiley face. They are pretty spendy for something you pee on 😂😅 but are they the best?

@HelloItsMeAgainHello I use both the easy@home cheapies and the clearblue digital with the smiley faces. Got me pregnant first cycle last time so I'm hoping they do the same magic this time!

@HelloItsMeAgainHello I use boots pee on sticks but I also track bbt with OvuSense to make sure I definitely ovulated

Hi ladies. I actually ended up testing positive at 11/12dpo. I was shocked. Hopefully see you all in the June 2025 thread very soon 🤞🏼🩷🩵 sending baby dust to you all x

Hello everyone,

I'm CD14 and 4DPO today.

@Henski That must be really frustrating! I hope you get your peak soon!

@Bb542 Congratulations!!💓 Have you started taking baby aspirin?

Sending baby dust to everyone and fingers crossed this is our month🤞🏼

@Bb542 congrattsss🥰

Thanks so much ❤️

Just got the prescription today for aspirin, progesterone and heparin injections so starting tonight ❤️

@Bb542 massive congrats! ❤️❤️

@amichel how are you feeling? You're 6DPO today?

I'm 1DPO today I think!

@Henski did you get your positive OPK?

How's everyone else doing?

@sellingupslow Had early start and forgot to test in the morning and I’m now away till tomorrow evening and didn’t pack any 🤦🏻‍♀️ did have a spike in temp this morning, hopefully increases again

@Henski looks positive! Are you away with your partner? Will you be able to dtd?

I don't think we'll be successful this month. I got a positive opk on Wednesday - we dtd on Wednesday (and Tuesday and Monday and Sunday) but DH wasn't able to last night (I think the pressure was to much) so we haven't since Wednesday and I think I ovulated yesterday (or very possibly today).

Yep he’s with me, it’s hard when you don’t know when you ovulate and have to keep DTD, I do feel for our partners!
When I got my bfp we only did it the one time O-2 day so you never know still in with a chance.

You're definitely not out. We dtd 2-3 days before I ovulated and it worked ❤️ fingers crossed for you x

@sellingupslow Yeah 6DPO today. It's my daughter's birthday on Sunday and we've got a full weekend planned, hopefully that'll distract me from symptom spotting😅
It sounds like you've got a good chance! Dtd within the 5 days before ovulation is recommended isn't it?

@Henski I hope this is the lead up to your positive OPK!🤞🏼

Hi Ladies, How’s everyone doing?
positive opk yesterday and not even a hint of a line today and temp took a massive drop so I think this is it 🤞🏼

@amichel will you be testing soon or wait for first day of missed period?

@Henski That sounds promising! Have you been able to DTD over the last few days?
I did a HCG test today and it was negative. Shortly after I had an increase in creamy lotion like CM. This was an obvious sign for me that I conceived last cycle as I usually dry up after ovulation. I'm hoping this is a sign😅 I'm 9dpo so could still be too early or AF will be here at the end of the week🥴x

I can't stop symptom spotting at the moment. I'm only 8DPO but will probably start testing tomorrow 😅

@amichel we stick to every other day routine as it’s easier since ovulation occurs whenever it feels like! So Friday and Sunday and squeeze in today. I’m the same dry up after ovulation so that does sound promising for you! Will you test again tomorrow morning ?
@HelloItsMeAgainHello what symptoms do you have? I can never tell the difference. Good luck for tomorrow morning 🤞🏼

Hi all, joining for this month. Had positive OPK yesterday, DTD for first time this cycle, was just too tired before then! We'll probs try again tonight. Fingers crossed! We'll be away when AF is due and it's time to test so we'll either have some nice news to celebrate or if not can enjoy a few wines!!

Thank you! I've had some cramping but only on the one side which also happened the month I conceived my ds. And much more cervical mucus. I actually thought I started my period early 😂 so fingers crossed for tomorrow x

@Henski It's hard work isn't it😅 At least that gives you a good chance!
I used my last easy@home test today. If there's still an increase in CM I'll buy a test for Thursday as I should be around 12DPO then. I've got 3 tracking apps and AF is ranging from 5th-10th as my cycle length can vary from 24-28 days. If I use a 5 day early test then something should show on Thursday🤞🏼x

Hello Ladies, I see we're all moving into the dreaded TWW territory. Lots of patience to all of you!

For us the wait is more for the semen analysis results than anything else... because of the test we only did once in the fertile window, so not much hope there. CD 19; I'm strongly telling myself not to symptom spot as there's no point 😅

However, I have a question that you may be able to help with, especially @Henski , since I know you track BBT with Ovusense:

I've only started it this month, and I can't reconcile the data from the app and OPKs: I had a LH surge on Monday 23rd so without the BBT I'd assume I ovulated on the 24th. But the app churned the data and insists ovulation happened on the 26th! is that something that happens to you? and if yes, what do you do? assume that the fertile window goes on a bit longer than you'd anticipate from the OPKs?

Advice welcome! thank you 😄

What day was the big dip, Monday ? And did you miss a day looks like Wednesday ?

10 DPO this morning..
A very faint line within 30 seconds on a clear blue. I'll be testing every day to see if the line gets darker🤞🏼 I made the mistake of getting excited last cycle and it was a CP.
I can see the line in person but it doesn't show well on the camera x

@amichel I can see it! Tentatively congrats 🤞🏼
