congratulations @slothbat ! wow I hope we get a BFP every day this month in this chat, we're 2 for 2 so far. whose turn is it on the 3rd??!!

Congratulations🙌!!!! 🥰

Amazing! Congratulations!! 💛

Morning thank you so much. We need to keep them BFP coming!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Any ladies testing today?

My AF hasn’t arrived yet.. I normally wake up to it and I would’ve normally been spotting yesterday which never happened. Wondering if I ovulated later than my BBT suggested 🤷🏻‍♀️ nothing is simple in this journey 😂

@KT199 hi lovely, I didn't dare asking how you were today !
No testing for me as I'm only 3 dpo ! I'd really love to hold off until AF is due but I'll see lol.
Yes, remember what the gyno said on her video, there's no late period but rather either pregnancy, or late ovulation. Did you test with strips too by any chance ? Did it correlate with the temp ? I'm gonna start temping I think but I've had agitated nights recently so I wonder how relevant it would be ...

Yeah I did use the LH strips, and BBT confirmed it really soon after the surge. I was shocked as none of it followed previous cycle patterns, my surge and peak only lasted about 20 hours this time on CD13 (which is much earlier and shorter than previous) and BBT confirmed ovu for CD13, again earlier I usually ovulate CD15/16. I carried on testing just to be sure in the mornings until CD15 and my LH stayed low. Tbh I’d prefer AF to just show if it’s not positive, then I’m onto a new cycle!

I think as long as your getting 4 hours solid sleep and that is at roughly same time everyday you can test even if it’s the middle of the night providing it’s consistently done at that time every day.. it would just be abit inconvenient 😂 I’ll show you my chart for this month. I test at 6am and if I’ve not had the solid sleep I will exclude my temp

That's super interesting @KT199 , I do not know how to read bbt! Why cd13? How can you tell ? I thought it was based on the temp dip ? (It's a genuine question as I'm clueless lol! )

I believe you need 3 temps higher than the last 6, to confirm ovulation. I did think from my chart it looked more likely to be CD12, but if that was the case I’m already a day late.. and I didn’t get a positive LH until CD13. It’s all so confusing

Just caught up after a weekend away, congratulations to those with their positive tests!!

I am 10DPO and been negative the last 3 days so pretty much lost hope for this month but period due on Thursday so we shall see.

My period is due on Friday.
I was wondering about doing an early test or just to hold off.

Welcome back @HE93C !
Sorry to hear about your BFN ...! I hope
You had a lovely holiday though.

@KT199 god I don't think I'd be good at temping , my chart would probs be all over the place !
Just wait and see girl ... it's the only way I guess...

@Itstime2023 totally up to you !
How many dpo are you ?

Agreed. I have a feeling maybe the vitamins/supplements I started this month may have affected my cycle as there’s nothing else I can think of! Will give it a few days and see where I’m at!

Good evening all! Anyone can help me understand please 🤔 i'm cycle day 20 and had THE ewcm yesterday so i tested LH 2 days in row but It says Negative. I thought i ovulated this month cuz i felt the ovulation cramps (but i didnt test LH back then) and i didnt have ewcm before yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️!
Usually the ewcm is a indicator for me for ovulation and i dont get it past ovulation, i dont understand why LH strips says negative 🤦🏻‍♀️! What do tou think?

If the EWCM has only just started you may get your surge in the coming days 😊 or if you’ve already ovulated as suggested then it’s possible you also won’t see an LH surge on a test this month. Can only recommend to continue testing to determine either way!

Hey girl,
I would go off your ewcm this month and next month maybe start testing LH from CD12 morning/evening so you know when the peak was !

I think 9dpo.

well I would say test before midnight because we haven't had our BFP for the 3rd yet!!

Very true ! I feel like this cycle is a lucky cycle 🤞🏼

I second what @Lila34830 said hopefully the good news continues for all of us 💫

Hi ladies! Back from lurking to say congratulations and send big hugs to those with AF. Such a conflicting time isn’t it.

God this week has dragged. I’m about 7 DPO but got another week / 10 days before AF due. This waiting is not the one is it? Thankfully feeling more anxious about work and mortgage applications, then went to a wedding yesterday and I don’t usually drink much these days but ended up getting drunk. Hope I haven’t killed the little swimmers down there!

hugs to those in the waiting room xo

Tested - negative.
I won't test again now until late period.
Anyway I think it's unlikely this month as only DTD once in fertile window.

I've done a seperate post but what do you ladies think of this?

I often only have 26 day cycles but last month was only 25
I started doing the clearblue ovulation tests on cd8 and it was a plain circle. since then I've had a flashing smiley every day. Its now CD16 and still no solid smiley.
do you think I've missed ovulation and it was before CD8? AF was here until CD5!

@Itstime2023 dont lose hope quite yet, i read you are only 9dpo 🤞🏻hang in there girl 😊

I tested negative at 9DPO!! And very faint on 10DPO! Give it another day or two and retest!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
