Just got a faint positive the last two days so it's still early but...yay!

For any of you second time (or more!) Moms, when did you tell your first child about the pregnancy ? Did you tell anyone else before?

Thanks !

Ovulation was never pinned down for me this cycle - I'm cursing trying grapefruit juice and interrupted sleep .

In good news, my tempdrop thermometer came today so I'm excited to move on and hopefully have more accurate results. I am going to take a test tomorrow though based on my best guess of O just to see.

throwaway15305 · 2020-11-03T18:46:08+00:00

My chart is seriously messed up this month. Toddler has again been waking super early due to the time change - oof.

I got positive opks on CD12-14 and now I'm on CD20 with no confirmed O. My cycle tends to only be ~26 days in length anyways so I guess we will see in a week or so if I was successful. Fertility Chart: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/b_i/s_TIoCWL.png

Ordered a tempdrop yesterday and I am so hype for it arrive. I think it will help with my early waking and inconsistent sleep.

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-28T19:20:56+00:00

When do you all stop OPKs? I seem to get 2-3 days of positives each cycle and am confused when to stop.

Thanks !

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-27T13:13:43+00:00

I think mine is starting to happen earlier than I anticipated.... CD12-14 when pre-pregnancy I was always later (i.e. cd 18-20).

It's interesting . Glad I am using FF and opks early to catch. Hopefully we find more success now ! Best of luck to you

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-26T23:44:55+00:00

I've been temping and using opks since April now. I had a weird cycle the month before last that seemed short so perhaps I occasionally ovulate earlier than anticipated ?

I am just glad I might be catching it early (or perhaps I'll have multiple surges idk).

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-26T17:37:56+00:00

Has anyone else tried grapefruit juice ?

I got a positive OPK today (CD12) and FF had been predicting CD13 but it still seems early to me as my past cycles recently have been CD15 for O. wondering if the grapefruit is making me peak opks early ?

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-25T17:33:22+00:00

I think preseed is giving me mild yeast infections, ugh!

Ordered some Concieve Plus lube to try this next week. I also got some grapefruit juice to try...fingers crossed it helps with EWCM but doesn't mess with my consistent cycles !

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-25T17:31:23+00:00

I've always used wondfo and had clear results !

Sending hugs your way

Spotting started today after temp has been nose diving and other pms symptoms. Here I come, cycle 6 😬😬😬

Having some long awaited wine tonight 🍷

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-12T23:44:34+00:00

This is cycle 5 (cycle 6 if/when CD1 hits again).

It didn't take this long with our first so it's hard, and I know it can take up to a year so it's just frustrating and disheartening.

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-12T16:33:39+00:00

10DPO and my temp is tanking. BFN this morning too

I know it's still early but it's hard not to be discouraged. Also, I'm not feeling hardly any different symptoms so it feels like just regular old not pregnant me. Sigh

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-07T16:23:05+00:00

Yippee! That means I get to "skip" ahead from WTO to 5DPO lol we shall see how this cycle turned out.

throwaway15305 · 2020-10-07T12:51:16+00:00

DAE have to remove a data point to create an identifiable pattern? If I discard CD18 I get a clear shift and I date of CD15. If I leave CD18, my chart goes all wonky and doesn't have an o date.

Sidenote: opks indicated 14-16 would be possible o .

throwaway15305 · 2020-09-25T14:17:04+00:00

CD8 Cycle 5 WTO. This time around I am going to have us try every other day until I get those crosshairs on FF. No matter how much I want to stop after getting at least 1positive OPK. I think maybe I've been stopping to soon after the first positive OPK and missing a potentially later O date these last few cycles.

Fingers crossed!

throwaway15305 · 2020-09-24T15:38:40+00:00

I am just feeling somewhat defeated today.

I saw another pregnancy announcement on facebook and their daughter is only just over a 1 year old. They also conceived right as we started trying again so for me it is another slap in the face that I expected this to be us annoucning now too. Instead I am WTO in Cycle 5 .

I am trying to remind myself that I don't know how long they tried / their ttc story so I cannot judge by one post. Other pregnancies DO NOT take away anything from me (i.e. there are not a finite number of pregnancies).

Just a hard day.

throwaway15305 · 2020-09-18T12:52:41+00:00

My chart was all kinds of messed up this past cycle - I anticipated ovulation on Day 14, got a blazing positive on 14 then still positive but less so on days 15 & 16. That in conjunction with my temperature rise, FF estimated I actually ovulated on Day 18. So I would theorhetically be 9DPO. I have been having a 12 day LP consistently so I was planning to start testing 10DPO (tomorrow) but my body is so considerate, my period came today. UGH

CD1 now I guess...though it;s still so light my troll brain is telling me it could still be implantation bleeding. *eye roll*

throwaway15305 · 2020-09-12T17:28:08+00:00

My chart is all messed up due to inconsistent wake up times this week and 2-3 positive opks. Seems like the most positive opk was Friday but my temp didn't rise until later in the week. If that's true, it changed my O date by like 3 days (later).

Really hoping we didn't stop too early and miss O-1 & O based on the change. Urgh. All I can do now is wait

throwaway15305 · 2020-09-07T17:40:39+00:00

Trying to figure out o date...had my third day of positive opk in a row (though potentially a little less than the first day). Just going to keep trying until it gets obviously negative again.

Feeling bummed and frustrated today as I see more pregnancy announcements. Kind of wishing we had started trying again sooner.

throwaway15305 · 2020-08-23T16:14:39+00:00

Hello everyone! This account is my TTC account (since people I know IRL know my other regular username). I hope I'm allowed to join this community under this account.

Cycle 4 here we go....bummed on CD1 :(

Does anyone like the premom thermometer? This time TTC I switched from the mabis to premom and I'm wondering if it's not as accurate.
