3rd Cycles A Charm??♤♡ Wishing on a star ♧◇ TTC BABY #2

Tests are definitely getting darker and starting to read as "high" and felt some twinges from what I think could have been my left ovary? We still haven't bd'd today yet.. I hope I catch the egg.. and still feel good about this cycle but at the same time feel defeated and disappointed.

I took anther test just to see and I got my peak!! However, I usually test around 6 in the morning and 6 at night. So I'm going to see if the numbers read a little differently in the morning after I wake up.

We did get some bd in and will again later today. So fx! I'm hoping today is true ovulation day so I can get on with the 2ww lol. We plan on baby dancing today, tmr, and maybe the next day just to cover our bases

I was reading how some people are low peakers but still get their bfps. I'm praying that's my case because comparing my charts/tests to others was making me nervous.

Ok.. so my lh is definitely going down. I think this is called rapid rise. My peak was yesterday and my app has ovulation happening today. I'm going to keep testing until bfp or af comes to see if a get a real surge or if this was my real surge. No egcm or anything , but I don't get a lot of cervical mucus anyways. So.. there's that lol. With my son I didn't have any noticeable egcm at all. It literally was all watery and I think that was due to the mucinex I was taking. So we'll see!!! Testing again around 6 :) and bought some more ovulation tests.

Ok so tested again and this is what I got. My lh was slightly higher almost close to my peak, almost. And a close up of my test. The test line is actually starting to get dark like the control line. Wondering if I'll actually get another peak or not :-k regardless tho we are gonna get some bd in tonight Screenshot_20210808-175910_Premom.jpg 20210808_175337.jpg 20210808_175521.jpg 20210808_175628.jpg
 
After you hit peak, some women stay high until 6dpo even. Depending on the sensitivity of the opk. Bding every other day keeps you in cycle with catching the egg in time. Sperm can live for a bit but egg only has 24hrs tops.

Fx you get a bfp this cycle

Ahhh ok, thank you! I'm still really new to all of this lol. So after you hit peak how do you when you ovulate?
 
Peak means within 12 to 16 hours sometimes even 24. You will release sn egg for fertilization. I usually have severe o pains 12 to 16hrs after first really dark opk.

Bding every other day from cd 10 on will help you have bd close to the normal o day of cd14. BUT. Not everyone will o on that cycle 10. Thats why its good to temp basal every time you wake in the morning to see a drop and climb in your temp. Climb up past your regular temp for more than 4 days usually indicates ovulation.

Hope that wasnt too choppy. Fighting the sleepy monster over here.
Catch you in a few hours. Hugs
 
Nope, not choppy at all!! Thank you!!! I want to temp but I wake up at different times and don't get a full night's rest due to my work schedule so I didn't think my temps would be accurate.
Goodnight!! :hugs:
 
Well, I can't sleep now. Drank some caffeine to get rid of headache...so not cool. Headache gone but now I am wide awake.

3 hrs of continuous sleep is what I go by. Over the years I have learned my temp though. So sometimes I might only do it 5 times and mark the temps. Can see it going up or even. Down usually about 9 or 10 dpo. Stupid af.

Hope you are doing ok.<3

Sorry about you being able to sleep!! Thanks again!


According to my chart today is my ovulation day. Which will make tmr officially 1dpo. Hopefully I am calculating it right. Anyways well its right on track with the app so I'm ok with that. We bd today so regardless there should be some happy swimmers there ready to go lol.

We are gonna bd tmr as well so I think we did a good job with coverage overall in the end. <3
 
Yay good luck! Sounds like you got some well timed BD in there! Best of luck for the tww <3
 
Officially 1 dpo!!! I feel pregnant already :haha: no, but really lol. 2ww here I come :happydance:[-o&lt; please please please God let this be our bfp [-o&lt;!!!!

I lowkey think that if I would have let the dye settle more on my lh strips maybe I would have had more high days and my peak day would have been higher but it is what it is lol
