As suggested, because so many of us on the other thread, shall we have a little roll call?

Great plan @Ec2808

Hi everyone, joining in this month ttc #1 after taking a couple of months out. Currently on CD9, ovulation should be next weekend

@DownWithCremeEggs my implantation bleeding was light pink and only there when I wiped. Didn't last long either. How many dpo are you? Sounds promising!

Mine was the exact same

ChaE05 · 16/05/2025 18:06

Hi all, does anyone know much about progesterone testing after ovulation? I want to see if my body is making enough to sustain a pregnancy after 2 early losses. From what I'm reading I think it's to be tested 7dpo? X

FlyHighSky72 · 16/05/2025 18:34

@ChaE05I know nothing but I’m going to try pgd test stripes next month

Iris2024 · 16/05/2025 18:37

@Ec2808 its horrible seeing you going through this turmoil. Maybe you did ovulate later as your BBT shows that? I can see shadow of lines on both. Hope you’re okay 🤍

@BGxxx wow!!! Congratulations and at 8DPO too ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@NiftySheep It could be implantation bleeding. If it’s 6 days before period and only spotting and light and light pink or brown? Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽 it’s at the right DPO too!

@DownWithCremeEggs same to you, it’s from 6-12DPO I believe and light pink or brown spotting on very light on wipe. Not enough to fill a pad or tampon so sounds promising! 🤍

Welcome back @daisy2025 🥰

ladies this next cycle I want to start checking my resting heart rate (BBT) I have the Premom thermometer but is there a way I can track this on my Fitbit?

Iris2024 · 16/05/2025 18:40

@Kayleaaa i had my bloods done for the 21 day and something else so it’s results of that. They sent me something to do for a HIV test or something is it to check something before appointment? I’ve no idea what they will be doing tbh! I’ve just had bloods done and sent to them but the days were all out of whack as when I had them booked in my period come a different day than expected!

Iris2024 · 16/05/2025 18:47

** chlamydia not HIV! Think it’s a swab before a Hycosy? I’ve no idea! 😂

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 19:53

@Iris2024not really this cycle is just killing me plus I had burning stabbing pain in left ovary area for about 2 minutes that also didn’t help…just ready for bed honestly 😔❤️❤️

Ec2808 · 16/05/2025 19:56

@Iris2024how about you still light pink spotting it has it stopped ?❤️✨✨

I’ve done the proov urine ones in the past! They were really easy, just do a baseline and then test from 7 days past peak for 3 days xx

Thank you! And yes I’m sure fitbits do skin temp
too? I really like that my oura ring does it for me and I don’t have to think about it!

DownWithCremeEggs · 16/05/2025 20:35

Thanks all. Haven't had any more spotting but still feeling a bit tender/crampy. Could well be period gearing up to start though. 8DPO tomorrow. So close to test time 😆

YKM2829 · 16/05/2025 21:27

Thanks much girls who gave advice for bbt, if I don't catch this month, which is a real 50 50 toss up as I'm feeling my ovulation pain on my side with no tube... Then I'll be cracking on tracking that to also help with ovulation side of things too I hope 🤔😘 thanks!

YKM2829 · 16/05/2025 21:31

Muddysocks1 · 16/05/2025 13:47

Yup it’s temp testing / you need a thermometer than goes to two decimal places (you can get them cheap on Amazon), either in your mouth or some people do vaginally! Needs to be roughly the same time every day (tbh for me that’s between 6-8am) and after at least 4hrs sleep, so do when you first wake up.
it’ll be lower in the first half, then rises when you ovulate. If you enter into an app like Fertility Friend it will advise when it thinks you’ve ovulated which is handy if you’re new to temping. If you’re pregnant temps will stay high, otherwise I don’t think you can tell that much from post ovulation temps unless they’re dropping consistently low or below the cover line.
the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility is amazing if you want to learn it all “properly”, but just getting a thermometer and using an app like fertility friend or premom is all you really need. On fertility friend you can log all sorts of other indicators like OPKs and cervical mucus which also feed into its analysis. I’ve done it for years and it’s easy once you get into the swing of it.. but it’s easy to obsess over charts (which is what I do every cycle 🤣) and sometimes they can indicate pregnancy but it’s hard to say until your period is pretty much due

Sorry tried reading all the comments when at work and that just didn't go well at all, 😴😴😴😴😴,
Ooooooh thanks for the book recommendation, I'm a researcher it's my fave hobby 😂😂😂 so defo will learn it all properly I love stuff like that xx

YKM2829 · 16/05/2025 21:33

As I'm going through ovulation, I figured I'd ask, is anyone on here familiar with pmdd? Xx

bigbird1234 · 16/05/2025 22:14

Think AF is here, really disappointed 😞

SureLook · 16/05/2025 22:17

Sorry @YKM2829 I'm not familiar with PMDD x

@bigbird1234 aww I'm sorry ❤️

Hey there. If it helps, I’d recently read that if you ovulate on the side where you don’t have a fallopian tube, the other tube can actually move over to that side and pick up the egg. I’d never heard it before and thought it was amazing! They must be so clever 😄

@bigbird1234 so sorry to hear xx

SureLook · 17/05/2025 06:27

I think I have my BFP at 12dpo. Thoughts?
