Hey! I'm about to ovulate (probably tomorrow since my LH surge was TODAY WOW!)

So please put me down for testing on 12/12. That's a bit before AF should arrive but not so much so that it's ridiculous haha.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Updated Good luck @co_fostermom

Hi! Jumping back here since we are TTC #2. Had a chemical in October. I think I will test on the 12th. Baby dust to everyone!

 

[USAFWife319]

AF due 12-14. Fingers crossed she stays away!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Updated. Good luck ladies

7dpo today and impatience to test has already started. Been doing so well this last week keeping busy and not obsessing. Was disappointed not to have a temp dip this morning because I had what looked like an implantation dip at 7dpo with my last pregnancy. I know not everybody gets one and every pregnancy is different but with my last chemical I had a dip a 6dpo so I'm hoping it's not something I should see to be pregnant. Time will tell though I guess but not having any good vibes from this cycle so far. Feel a little bit crampy today and last night in bed for the first half hour everytime I moved I felt like I was straining my stomach. I will hold off until 9dpo

Beautiful chart Laurabub! Actually regarding the "implantation dip", I have read a lot of research that says that a one-day dip in the Luteal Phase is actually most commonly caused by another surge in estrogen, rather than implantation. So a lot of non-pregnant cycles have this dip as well and one should not place too much meaning into it. Also, remember that the most common day for implantation is 9DPO

As for me - 6 DPO & feeling very discouraged about this cycle overall. Its been such a weird one... not a lot of EWCM during my fertile window, then for the first time ever had a fall-back temp at 2 DPO which confused the heck outta me, and now my luteal phase temps are way lower than they usually are. Then I suddenly had lots of creamy stringy CM as well as EWCM on 4 + 5 DPO (but did not log these on FF bc it made the crosshairs dotted lol) Ugh.

Pineberry I haven’t had strong ovulation symptoms this time either. Haven’t had the normal cm, tender breasts, high sex drive, etc that I normally have. I had some clear liquidy cm and lots of cramping so who knows. I got a peak ovulation test yesterday and the first positive Thursday. Praying it happens this cycle but not entirely sure

 

[Laurabub84]

@Pineberry thank you for the reassurance hun. It drives me insane how every cycle is different. I can't help but compare to my chart where I conceived my little girl and the last 3 chemicals. I obsess about cm and cp but I know they aren't a good indicator of pregnancy. Last cycle I conceived I'd noted down having the sensation of feeling wet 6 and 7dpo but not had it this cycle so already feeling out. Ridiculous I know but I can't help it. Just not having any good feelings this month and now the obsession has begun. Although for me personally my chart so far is looking good. My temps are usually lower up until 8/9dpo so it's nice to see a clear shift. I'm just so desperate to know if this is the month. Especially coming up to Christmas. Would be all the more perfect

I’m the same way! I told my hubby it’s perfect for telling immediate family far away because we can send a Christmas card and it not be suspicious. He doesn’t think if we sent a random thing any other time it would be. His brother and wife sent a Valentine’s Day card last year to announce and I told him before we opened it they would say they’re pregnant because they don’t just randomly send a card

Hi girls can I be put down for testing on the 13th... I'm not temping or anything this cycle I just dtd a couple times during ovulation week. I needed a little break from all of those things it was driving me a little bonkers and seeing as I normally ovulate every month almost every cd 15 or 16 we'll see what happens, fx'd for us all getting those beautiful Christmas bfp!!!

 

[Bevziibubble]

I've put you down for the 13th Good luck

 

[Lightning7]

Hi ladies!

Can I please go down for the 21st for now, will update when I have an ovulation guess as I'm only around CD6 atm

Thanks for doing the updating for us Bevsiibubble! Very kind of you!

Excited for all of us to get our Christmas BFP! With my son's pregnancy I tested Christmas morning and my BFP was the best start to Christmas day!

 

[Bevziibubble]

I wish I had the willpower to not chart, it drives me insane too, but due to not being regular I don't have a choice if I want to know when and if ovulation happens. Good luck to you

Do you have to wake up at a certain time each day to do BBTs? I would like to try tracking temps but I'm a terrible sleeper and tend to fall asleep really late and wake a couple times most nights in the early hours. Then I have my alarm set at 4:20am some days and 4:50am other days for work lol so I feel like even buying a BBT would be a waste of money for me.. or does it not matter?

Thanks! I'm still in 2 minds about conceiving this month as the due date will be very close if not on my son's 2nd birthday

It's best to take your bbt at the same time every day after a least I think 3 solid hours sleep. That's not always possible for me as my little one tends to get up at least once a night and I always tend to wake up needing the loo as well but I still have a clear pattern to show ovulation. I set my alarm for 6:30am even if I don't have to get up. I just take my temperature, tap it into the fertility friend app and go back to sleep
