WTT with a view to TTC in Sept/Oct/Nov - looking for a TTC buddy!

[Soniamillie01]

Miss malteser - happy birthday! Sorry the reflux is back but your symptoms do sound promising! GL

I'm now 7/8dpo and no symptoms apart from those mentioned before and now have a stinking cold! Not got much hope this month but am hoping for a longer Luteal phase as last month was only 9days.

Good luck all x

GL sonia, when are you testing? And I just bought my bbt and more opks. opk is staying dark like yesterdays, but still not close to a pos. I temped just for fun even thought I know I am supposed to wait til the morning. My temp was 98.33....is this a near ov temp? haha I have no idea what a high temp is for a sign of ov or preg!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I don't think I'm going to (I say now) and now I am 80% likely out! Also don't have the urge like I have before.

Now don't quote me on this but I think pre ovulation temps should be 97 - 97.5 and then raise by 0.5 - 1.6 of a degree after ovulation. Bbt should taken first think after waking with as little possible movement as possible (I have to use my phone to see my result as so dark) - I do struggle sometimes as forget and wee (tmi sorry) and then think dammit! As long as sleep period is for more than four hours temp would be good to test!

Temps will stay elevated post ovulation and will remain elevated if pregnany.
A drop would be concurrent with av. Also you may experience a dip in post ovulation temps around implantation which I guess could be a sign.

I personally prefer opk's as easier and I find more accurate as there are lots of things that can affect bbt.

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well, been reading all of your posts and congrats to the November BFP ladies, am so happy for you! Lets hope the rest of us are joining you over in the first trimester soon. Sonia- I am pleased you got some good news from the doctor, and your symptoms sound really positive! gl!

Well as for me, I have had a really frustrating month- first month ttc- LOADS of symptoms, but today AF arrived, in a way I knew it wasnt late af because my cycles do go 30-37 days- and this month was a 37 dayer!!! yikes! I was sure I had ov pain on cd 15 though- was certain! But couldnt have been! Anyway in a way relieved can start again month two- how lovely to get a xmas BFP!

I heard that grapefruit juice is meant to be good for increasing ewcm? Has anyone heard of this- what cycle days do i start/stop the juice!??


Have a lovely weekend ladies.

Hi Sunshine, sorry AF has arrived but like you say onwards to month2. I've heard about the grapefruit juice not sure on which cd though. I've been taking b6 to extend my
Luteal phase and it has also given me amazing cm.

No symptoms for me at all, nothing. Boobs have returned to normal just got a stinking cold now, I know I'm out given no BD'ing around ovulation so kind of wish AF would arrive now so can move onto cycle 4. Although kind of hoping can be longer so b6 working on the Luteal phase

sorry to here some are out for this month & some are feeling out!

afm my opk's are darker in the am and lighter in the pm....what is up with that? The am one's are consistantly getting a tab bit darker each day, but still no def pos. Here is today's, what do you think? And my lines are skinnier than the control, is that normal? My sticks are CVS cheapies and supposed to use FMU which I have been doing for am...the fade in and out if very odd. The first pick is a bunch leading up to this mornings (the last one) what do you think? they are all faded fyi...

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almosthere - mine say do not use fmu as the LH it picks up is synthesised over night which would make sense as to why they are darker in the am, yours may well bs different though but would make sense to not fmu, mine say anytime after 10am. I do mine at 6pm each day.

It's weird that they're not getting any darker, especially as they have been of similar shade for a while. Wonder why?

 

[almosthere]

yes mine say to use FMU!

 

[almosthere]

WOOHOO I AM ABOUT TO O! GOT MY FIRST POS OPK soooo relieved to know I am most likely ovulating since stopping bcps in sept. have a good feeling about this month! got my pos this am and we bd the past 3 nights in a row plus we have a date to bd tonight and tomorrow as well! i will keep testing until my lines start to fade again =)

 

[Soniamillie01]

This is sooooo your month!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I think AF is preparing to take up residency for the next few days. Just feel a little groggy, ovary ache which is normally get so think she may be coming tomorrow. That would put me at 26 day cycle 10 day Luteal phase so one day plus from last month on total cycle and Luteal phase - hoping to add another day next month through the b6.

Hey ho onto next month, good luck all who are still in with a shot x

 

[Elz]

Sonia - sorry to hear AF is on her way, but there's still a chance of you getting your Xmas BFP!! Fingers crossed for you!

Good luck to everyone else wherever you are in your cycle!

I have no idea what's happening in my body! I can't be certain that I ovulated, I'm just going by the cramps I had on CD15 and 16. I'm CD24 now, so possibly 8/9DPO, but I am so much more relaxed this month. I think because last month was our first month that we actually had a chance of becoming pregnant, I was excited by the thought of it and wanted to POAS ALL the time!! This month however, I'm prepared to wait until AF comes, or at least the day I would be due if this cycle is the same length as the last (11th December), or maybe even a few days after! I'll just have to wait and see what I feel like then. At the moment I've got a stinking cold which makes me sneeze loads!! So I'm just going to concentrate on getting myself better and chilling out until it passes!

Is anybody near the end of their 2WW and about to test??

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

GL Almost. I reckon you'll get a BFP

Sonia - u are still in with a chance. With my son I thought AF was coming. GL x

Elz - Do you chart or anything? It's so hard not to test but I waited until I was 2 days late this time. GL x

 

[almosthere]

thanks ladies, another pos today. Yesterday morning was same color as the line this one is even darker! My temp dipped two days ago and went up .4 degrees then down one degree today, what does this mean? And since I am on day 2 of POS OPK have I not ov yet? I thought I temp dip was your ov day but not pos??? here are my opk pics the first one was yesterday morning and the second is this mornings!

 

[almosthere]

horrible pics, you can't really tell how dark the lines are, oh well...

 

[almosthere]

Gl elz!

you are not out til the witch shows!!!

 

[miss malteser]

Hi Almost, my temp doesn´t rise until 24 hours after ov and even then its a gradual rise, rising bit by bit for a few days. Click on my ticker to have a look at my chart if you want. This month it says I ov´d on cd 18 but I´m pretty sure it was on cd17 but FF hasn´t recognised it due to the 24 hr temp rise delay. Not everyone gets a temp dip so I wouldn´t worry about that too much.

So, AF got me yesterday and so disappointed. My luteal phase was again only 10-11 days so I´m going to buy some b6 this afternoon and see if it helps. I had so many symptoms this month (headaches, acid reflux, dry mouth, lower back ache, sore throat, weird non AF cramps, very tearful) so I´m wondering if we did catch the eggy but my short LP meant that it just didn´t have time to implant properly. Who knows?

Anyway, on to TTC round 3 - here´s to a xmas BFP!!

 

[Elz]

Emz - The only thing I'm doing is keeping track of how long my cycles are so that I know when to expect the next one and keeping note of when we DTD! My libido was sky high a few days leading up to what I thought was O day and it was the same last month too. Now I don't really feel up to it! lol but that could be down to my cold because I don't get much sleep with it and I can't breathe properly!! lol
Do you know when you're going for your first scan? x
