@Kelliria. Oh hun. Try not to be sad. I know it's easier said than done. It does take a couple days for the temp to rise and I am sure there are enough swimmers in there waiting for that Golden egg to come down and penetrate it. You are still in the running. Don't loose hope yet as there is still that dreaded tww and you will need all the rest you can get to battle the cold. Hopefully if your bf is willing (mask or not) he is willing to give it one more shot.

Hi Kelliria, I had the same thing this month - the first time that my bbt rose 2 days after what I originally thought was my ovulation. And since my husband went away for a business trip, I though we had the timing completely wrong. That's why I said I thought I was out before.. But I searched a little online and bbt should not be a good predictor of ovulation as indeed it may rise a few days after ovulation. Besides, I found this interesting article - https://www.justmommies.com/getting-pregnant/boost-your-chances-getting-pregnant/best-time-to-get-pregnant . True, I didn't do any deep research of how much truth is in the article, but it for sure gave me a tiny hope for this month :)) so maybe it'll help you keep your hope as well. I think you still have a good chance for this month :)

Thanks dragonfly. My cervix now feels firmer now. Just checked. So, i may have O'd yesterday. It usually takes a day to start to firm. Maybe i just had an unusual temp. I have been sick and my temps were a degree higher in follicular phase this go around. I figured it was because of the supplements. Im not going to stress it. If i do O today, it will be 48 hrs after bding last.

To all the ladies who are trying and testing this month, wish you all good luck!! I know how it feels to have the hopes high just to eventually get the AF.. We've been trying for almost a year now with occassional breaks in the middle as my husband has to travel a lot (and somehow, all these events he goes to seem to magically be organized at exactly my highest fertile periods :D..). I really hope this will be your month!! Good luck girls. ;)

@dragonfly23 - congratulations!! I see you're now 10 weeks pregnant? :) How's it going? Aside from the hip pain.. which I hope will go away soon.

@Kelliria- Yes, I wouldn't worry about it. That definately could be why your temp is slow as you are battling a cold. Hopefully things will work out. Get plenty of rest.

@Veve_N- Things are good aside from the hip pain. My gf is starting to notice a tiny bump but that is about it really. Boobs are sore every once in awhile and sleeping is horandous and wake up every couple hours and it takes me forever to fall back down again. This pregnancy aside from my first as got me on edge a lot of times where my first I was calm as can be. My second ultrasound is April 3, which can't come soon enough as I just want to see my baby again. I am hoping for a boy as my hubby isn't getting any younger and he only wants two kids. But I will be happy with either or. Hope you get your BFP this cycle.

Hi ladies, I have decided to finally join this board (have always been reading but never post). Husband and I have been trying since jan 17 - he is 33 and I am 29, both trying for baby number one and doesn’t seem to be happening for us! Have been using clear blue advanced predictors for the last 4 months so fingers crossed it will happen for us eventually. I am on cd 7 and normally ovulate around day 17/18. Best of luck to all of you!!! Xx

@K8mcm88 - Welcome! Since you've been trying for over a year have you pursued any medical help? After a year of trying (in the US), they will do blood tests and other tests to make sure everything is all right. I had a friend who tried for 8 months and then found out she had uterine polyps. After they removed them she got pregnant on the first try. She was over 35 so they started to check her fertility earlier then for those of us under 35. This is our 7th cycle trying and I also use the clear blue advanced digital OPKs. I'm really hoping we get pregnant this time around.

Hi Ladies
I am going to jump on board here because I really hope I get lucky with a sticky bean this cycle.
I am currently 4dpo and have indigestion bad the past 2 days. I tried fertilitea this cycle, hope it helped.
My DD is nearly 3.5 years old now and I really hope to be able to give her a sibling.
Good luck to everyone this cycle and I hope we all get lucky in 2018..

Welcome to the group chi-irish! I just went over and looked at your profile and I'm so sorry to see how these last few years have gone for you. I hope that this year has that special baby making magic you got when you had your DD. Everyone in these baby groups is very supportive and welcoming!

Hi, ladies! I made my own question about ovulation and if anyone has time to help me figure out ovulation, id appreciate it! Didnt want to keep putting same thing on every post. Thanks in advance!!
