Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone else out there is about to enter fertile week? Mine starts tomorrow. Will DTD tonight and EOD. Using OPKs too. Feeling optimistic but impatient as always! Hopefully we can all support each other xxx

I’m CD10 an got my peaks on CD13 &14 last month ... my clear blue monitor has read high since CD6 so don’t know whether to BD for the next two nights just in case I get my peaks on the CD13 again .. if I do , we’ll have to do it four nights on the trot! Be walking like john Wayne at this rate!!

John Wayne! Hahaha. Im CD 8 today. So far have DTD on CD6 and today. Trying for alternate days at the moment until we get a positive OPK. I just have cheap amazon OPKs, hoping they do the job. I think i usually ovulate around CD13 xx

I got one of the clear blue monitors and struggling to use SMEP because of the constant high readings! I was advised to start temping alongside the monitor so I can be more accurate.. I only just manage to POAS for the machine without having to temp up there as well first thing in the morning haha. I’ll give this machine another few tries and if it doesn’t sort itself out I’m going to buy the OPK from the Internet and give the temping a go. Poor OH will be hiding away soon if we go off the machines high readings.

We’ll be testing around the same time then .. do you work it out off a 28 day cycle?

Maybe you could also just buy some of the internet cheapies to use alongside it?? I'm just using the One Step ones. Will keep them to compare over the next few days. My cycle is usually like clockwork either 28 or 29 days. How about you? Im going to test on thursday 12th, although AF is actually due on friday 13th! But being superstitious i don't want to test that date haha x

I should be having mine this week but not sure of my ovulation date. Currently on CD19 and app says I should ovulate on CD20 (tomorrow) but I've been doing the cheap OPKs and all negative. I also check my temp every morning and it hasn't risen yet so all the signs say I haven't ovulated yet. Been DTD everyday just incase!!

I’ll do that then.. pee on two sticks .. suppose I could do an evening test with an Internet cheapy? I had a cp on the 13th Feb and got my af exactly the 13 th of March! So 28 day cycle. I’m going to test on the 10th this month .. I think because March has 5 weeks it’s knocked me back ! So I’m with you about the 13th of any month, not just a Friday 😊. Suppose I’m lucky to get straight back into a regular cycle.

Do you find the temping easy to read?.. how do you learn what to look for ?

 

[Rainingflowers]

I am only in my 2nd month but I really wish I'd started sooner as I'm in month 11 of TTC. I've done lots of research so I know what to look for from that really. But basically if your body is working as it should u should have a rise in your temp after ovulation, so that's how u know u've ovulated. I had the rise last month on CD22 but still haven't had it yet this month (only on CD19) so I'm assuming I'll ovulate over the next few days. The only bad thing about temping is that u don't know uve ovulated until afterwards. But it's more about looking for patterns and trends which will help you know when ovulation is approaching!

 

[Rainingflowers]

Just got a positive ovulation test so should be ovulating tomorrow which is my CD21!

 

[Rokitqueen]

Ooooh so exciting, plenty of BD now! Hehe . I think if I’ve no luck this month then, I’ll definitely start temping. If anything I should be able to tell if this monitor is working properly for me . An I’ll get some OPKs too.
Last month I was convinced I was pregnant until I got to 10 DPO. From about 4DPO I had seriously sore boobs, dizzy spells an lethargy. 8&9 DPO I was in bed burning up by 8pm both nights. During the night of 9DPO , I was woke up to feel a sharp twinge ... the morning of my 10DPO, my sore boobs went and I was full of beans. That’s when I knew I wasn’t pregnant... it was as though implantation had failed!! I’m hoping to keep myself busy enough not to symptom spot this time .

Good luck over the next few days ... fingers crossed for you!!

Still no ovulation twinges today, hoping they will start later.
I've been reading some other posts and think I may try aspirin next month if nothing this month. Do you take any vitamins or anything other than folic acid?
I've got my first appointment with fertility doctor on 5th April which will mark 12 months of TTC. I think that's what's keeping me going at the minute! All our tests have come back normal so just really want to know what their thoughts/suggestions are.
We've got a week off work so going away for a couple of nights today. Nice little countryside retreat just us and the dog! My plan was to find a nice little pub and have a few drinks this afternoon but now that it's ovulation day I'm not so sure... What do you think??? I've pretty much stopped drinking recently, well compared to what I used to anyway!
Hope everyones having/had a good weekend xx

Fingers crossed for you! A couple of nights away sounds like a great way to relax. Dogs always bring happiness! I'm not sure what the general advice is on alcohol and TTC but im sure a couple of drinks would be ok. Im cycle day 10 today. Will DTD tonight as per alternate days. OPKs still negative but i don't expect to ovulate until the 14th xxx

 

[Rainingflowers]

We've just got here and I'm on the gin already!! I do think I need to relax and I honestly think that will help. I just want to have a couple of days when I don't think about it.
FX for some positive OPKs for you over the next few days then! Let me know how you get on xx

 

[Rainingflowers]

Woke up this morning to cloudy CM which I'm assuming means ovulation is over... Here's to the TWW ��

Have a great time! I had a couple of glasses of wine last night and i felt really relaxed! We even DTD which would be 2 days in a row - shocker! Ha. Do you have any nice 2WW plans to keep you busy?! My OPKs are getting darker so Fx xx

 

[Rainingflowers]

Nope, no plans. Not even got anything planned over Easter weekend which is wierd for me! Just counting down the days until my appointment at the fertility clinic, so this TWW is probably guna drag more than ever!!!

Ladies I’m on day 14 of fertile week and I’ve had some spotting today, been testing ovulation and it hasn’t happened yet although yet to test today.

Has this ever happened any of you??

 

[Rainingflowers]

Hi M1414306, I don't usually get spotting mid cycle but I think it is a sign of ovulation. Did u get a positive test yet? Do you take your basal body temperature??
