Hey guys! Riveting question for your Saturday night!

I’ve never tracked CM before but have just noticed a bit of EWCM - does this usually happen at time of ovulation or pre ovulation? My LH test was still low this morning - no peak yet and been testing twice a day.

thanks x

For me usually happens on the run up to my peak. So I would keep testing twice a day!

Morning @HE93C for me it also happens on the run up to my peak but some months I don't get a lot. Keep testing I'm sure the rise is near ! 🤞🏼

@Itstime2023 @Lila34830 just for a 0.51!!! I’ll test again later but that’s the highest I’ve ever had so far! Xx

Hi ladies,

First ever BFP!! I’m 3 days late for AF and 13dpo, no symptoms at all. This is my 4th cycle trying to conceive!

Sending you all lots of baby dust xxx

Aww congratulations 🎉 ❤️ so exciting times ahead!

Omg you're going to peak soon ! DTD girl ! So happy you found the surge !!

Omg !!! Massive congratulations !!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Very happy for you @Itstime2023 !
What a Christmas present!

I've started testing my LH as I stopped bleeding now, we want to go straight back into ttc as apparently after CP or MC the chance of conceiving is higher due to leftover hormones in your body or something. But im only CD5 I guess and I usually peak around CD20 😅 I'm just tracking in case I end up having a shorter cycle who knows

Aww congratulations!!!

@Lila34830 thanks girls! DTD today and will test again in a bit and DTD tomorrow too.
ive had a bit of a tiff with hubby for going out drinking loads while it’s ovulation weekend (he had had the night out planned for ages) but I know it can affect things and after the MC before I’m trying to be super careful.

his argument is that we can’t just put life on hold and not enjoy ourselves cos it could take ages. Anyone else had this with their SO? How did you go about it? We can’t agree at all cos I’ve completely quit drinking and said this is my priority but he says it’s putting too much pressure on it and it will happen when it happens. Annoying but I do get his side too.

@HE93C bless you ! My husband is a gym man so he rarely drinks and neither do I so we never argued about it however if that can make you feel better I read that sperm regenerates fully every 60 odd days so him going out drinking this weekend wouldn't affect his sperm straight away !
Pretty sure it would take a lot / regular alcohol consumption to affect it so try not to worry too much !!

Oh yes! Same words! Don’t worry! I live / work in London as does my husband and he is a professional lunchalot. We never argue (don’t usually care, I’m happy at home with our dogs!) but I’m convinced he’s drowning sperm so I get right in his grill about it 😂😂😂 he says the same (but he’s not 37 on Tuesday at advanced maternal age!)

Unless they’re an alcoholic I understand it doesn’t have much impact. l will be very glad when I have my required offspring and I can personally go back to never thinking about these things I feel like such a boring nag 😀

just realised I’m going to be away with work for 2 nights ovulation prediction days / week 🫠😫 will have to DTD beforehand. Gah! This waiting is insane.

Oh good. Glad it’s not just me!!

Hopefully it doesn’t have too much impact but we shall see!

I got a test of 0.51 yesterday morning, 0.34 last night and 0.79 this morning, so my LH is deffo rising, base is always between 0.5-0.2 for me I think! I’m hoping that means I’m ovulating today or tomorrow.

Same! I’m normally not bothered what he gets up to but now everything we do I’m paranoid 😂😂 fingers crossed we all get positives soon and don’t have to think about all this for a while.

What time if day do you take the LH tests ? I read somewhere that I shouldn't be doing it first morning.. so I try not to but would make things a lot easier if I did so just wondering what everyone else does ??

@HE93C you're not alone! My partner has finally started to take notice and has actually made some life changes now. But before we were always bickering about healthy habits including drinking!

I have to admit I think there's so much pressure on us ladies, we're the ones that know when we're ovulating, we're so hyper aware of symptoms and our bodies are ultimately going to grow the mini dinos. I honestly think it's quite hard for them to understand the pressure 😅

I'm on day 4 of period, and onto cycle 10 for me (I think) I try not to count the cycles where I know we definitely missed ovulation. I'm starting to think about doctors appointments in the new year for further investigations to see if anything's up. I had my bloods and everything was ok xx

Just saw this, baby dust and the luck to everyone starting a new cycle ✨ 🦕

@NoisyBee I've always tested morning and evening and sometimes on first weee, it honestly doesn't matter much as if your LH Is low it will be low , or if it's high it will be high !
It worked for me as I had a positive last month but unfortunately ended up in CP so don't stress too much if you take it on first morning urine as long as you do one in the evening ☺️

This is lovely, let's hope we get as much BFP this cycle than last cycle which was very successful for the Dino club 🦕🤍

@NoisyBee I tend to go to the gym at before work so I don’t do my first wee of the day but I’ve only had a bit of water and been up about 2 hours. I think as long as it’s around the same each time it should help track as you know roughly what your ‘normal’ is?

im still learning as I go to be honest but I’ll put a screen grab of my tests up so you can see the diff in the days/times etc. it’s still showing low for me but expecting a peak sometime soon.

@HE93C your last test is pretty high, definitely a peak soon ! Good luck girl xx

Thanks lovely!! As this is the first time I’ve tracked I’m still not sure how high my peak will be or when it will happen but hoping to catch it today or tomorrow xx

I'm currently still looking for my peak even tho ovu was predicted for the 14th-17th 😅 I'm definitely having a surge but it's still at .76 and last month my peak was 0.84 but I find it's always strongest around 5pm ish so I'm going to do one more test tonight after work and hopefully it'll be my peak and I assume I'll be ovulating overnight and into tomorrow as I'm also experiencing some CM 🤞

I had completely ruled myself out this cycle as I thought I missed my peak around CD14, it just shows you how misinformed all of these apps etc can be 😳

Oh absolutely keep on testing ! The apps do not predict accurately, they go off 14 days automatically which is only relevant for approx 20% of women 😅
I find the app good just to track my symptoms and dates !
Good luck lovely !
I'm on CD6, I usually ovulate around CD20 but not sure with the CP, I'm testing LH already to make sure I don't miss a potential early one this cycle who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Girls, help please!
does anyone else see a shadow?
My partner said 'kind of' and I'm 9DPO (I think!!!) I haven't been properly tracking this month due to being so busy but my apps say 9DPO.
this wasn't FMU, just taken it now.
heading to the shops so gonna pick up some stick tests but do I have line eyes??????

please ignore the hair all over the pic I have a dog and I dropped it on the floor lmao

I DO @Parks17 re test tomorrow morning FMU ! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
