Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

T4taylor

Thanks for putting me on the lists- seems real now! My natural cycle app tells me to do ovulation tests (I’m guessing LH tests are the same as OPKs?) from 2 days before predicted ovulation. I normally do 2 or 3 a day on those days. I use internet cheapies and sometimes when you have a squinter, doing another half an hour later can make it clearer.

Sorry you’re none the wiser Nancyo,
Welcome to all the newcomers.
Well New Year’s Day will be a year from the start of my MC so that’s on my mind at the minute and OH is away working.
Six months to the wedding so that’s all go.
I’m hoping that we have some positive news this year and we get our rainbow.
Hope you all have a great New Year’s Eve and here’s to many BFPs in 2018.
Xx

No news from me. The sore boobs have started again but not as bad as last month, I think AF is around a week away but not sure.

PKK I have been doing opk from the start of fertile window according to ovoa/glow (which they start a good 4ish days before predicted ovulation). Having possibly missed my lh this month I might start testing from cd 11 next month.

Google says if you have a regular cycle then 17 days before cd1 is time to start testing

Nancyo - as it is a new year I wanted to start the list again to make sure it was accurate. Sorry if you thought I had taken you off purposefully, there was no malice, I just took everyone off and asked if everyone that wanted to be included could confirm their CD for me. It also gave an opportunity for any newbies to jump onboard too . I have added you back in. Sorry you haven't got an answer either way yet. Have you had a cycle this long before?

Munchkin84 - I am so sorry to hear of your previous MC. I really hope your rainbow is just on the horizon for you both. I have started the lists fresh for a new year, would you like adding on? Just let me know your CD if you would.

Selement / T4Taylor - my cycle hasn't been super regular sadly. I have just looked back and it has been 31, 32, 34, 29. Ovia is predicted 32 this month. I have got 20 of the clearblue sticks, the ones with the smiley face as I want it to be super clear whether I'm ovulating or not, I don't have time (or patience) to scrutinise the cheapy ones (although my bank account would have preferred it!) haha.

The SMEP recommends starting OPKs on CD10, the last day of my fertile window according to ovia is CD21, but in theory I should ovulate a day or two before that. I suppose that is only half the pack (I got 20) if I start on CD10, and if it works then it will be worth it!

Hi, PKK, no thanks, I don’t want to go on the lists.

Hi. I’m still here. CD1 for me today - on the plus side I can enjoy a drink tonight.

selement

I have 10mu tests so did one today even though it's early - negative as expected. Can feel less guilty when I drink tonight I know I still could be but I don't think we timed it right and I'm not 100% convinced I even ovulated this month so I'm happy to assume this wasn't our cycle.

Wish I knew when AF was likely to come, I wasn't regular before goingon the pill so no reason to assume I magically will be now... it's only my second one really after withdrawal bleed. Put like that it sounds like it hasn't been long at all but I came off the pill in September so from that point of view it already feels like it's been a while! I never appreciated how long this all takes before

Zeni

Hope everyone is having a nice evening tonight and happy new year to you all CD14 today and usually, 13 is my peak day so hoping to time it right this month!
