One dpo today, ovulation confirmed by positive opk. Started taking Fertilty Support for Her this cycle and hit my peak at 200 on Friday morning and experienced a cramping pain on the left side of my abdomen later that evening (first time I’ve ever had ovulation pain before)! 
Started cycle 5 this month! BBT is also beginning to climb! Anyone starting their ttw?!! Eagerly waiting to see what will become of this month!

I'll join if that's ok :)
Technically its 2 weeks tomorrow AF is due but I likely won't have ovulated yet as I have a short luteal phase.
I'm not tracking anything at all (which is driving me nuts) so company would be nice

@Treaclepie19 Hello and of course! I didn’t track anything either our first few cycles. Cycle 4 was when I begin too, and I really like to track my bbt so if you’re considering on using something; it’s affordable and really helpful. But the wait really can drive you crazy! Lol, how long have y’all been TTC?

@Treaclepie19 oh okay so you already know all about it!
I’m really sorry to hear that though! It’s not a bad thing to want to take it easy at all. There’s no reason to stress it, but that’s a lot easier said than done.
We’re trying for our first. My body seems to get further and further with each cycle, but no sticky baby yet. I had a chemical pregnancy In February, and I had all the symptoms for a ectopic pregnancy last month, but I don’t even know!

@Treaclepie19 your welcome, thank you! Everything that has been happening this cycle is new with hitting my peak and having cramping during ovulation, so I really hope it is! Last month my LH test showed it was high, but that was it. And the only difference this cycle is I started taking Fertility Support for Her this cycle, so I’m super excited!!!
Oh wow though, yeah I think that would have been a shock for anybody! It’s crazy how long it can take.. and how things can happen in the process too.. I was letting all of it drive me crazy too, but there’s just a peace in my heart now as we wait to find out what this month will bring!
@XjustagirlX Hello! Of course, we’re all in this together! it’s hard to know when it is your first cycle! That does happen with bloating because your digestion system slows down but hopefully it will be! Those are definitely all good signs! But it is always best to wait for 8 dpo - 14 dpo if you can!
@Mummylanie3 Welcome to the thread! You don’t have too much longer then before you’ll be on board too!!!
@AcesHigh666 Hello, Hello! And yes ma’am I would suggest tracking to help determine when you are (if you are) to help you, if you can! Opk test are also good for confirmation just to be certain. Fingers crossed for you too though!!!
Maybe we’ll all get the big fat positive this month!!!

@CreekyBeaky of course! And oh my! Well I think I would be a lunatic too! Hopefully this will be your month, you never know
I plan to begin testing myself on the 16th (8 DPO). I know it’ll be early but the lord knows I have plenty of pregnant tests, so I figured why not? 🤷♀️

@ELW85 Hello!
Maybe you ovulated later than anticipated? Once you get your positive opk, from my understanding, you ovulate in the next 24 - 48 hours. (Or that’s when my app tells me ovulation will most likely occur). If you already know this, then please disregard!

@Savvysaz Hello! Hitting 4 DPO together! Sometimes it does take a little time, that’s awesome though!
@LA89 Of course!
At least so far you were able to confirm a high level of your luteinizing hormone! It takes a few days for your LH to hit it’s peak (if you do), but I would continue to test until it shows its low just to be sure.
Don’t let it discourage you though!!!

@mummy21l Hello!
You can experience nausea during ovulation (but it would be hard say if that was the case or not without confirmation). This cycle, I experienced cramping pains on my left side during ovulation. Maybe ovulation was late this cycle for you?
With testing, it can take up to two days for conception to occur after ovulation and 6 -12 days for implementation to take place. So if you do decide to test early, it’s recommended to wait 8 DPO - 14 DPO!
But in the event that your cramping is associated with ovulation, that’s a good sign! Studies show women who cramp during ovulation are more fertile! You may want to ‘baby dance’ in the next 24 - 48 hrs, in case you are ovulating (lol) and consider this 1 DPO just to make sure you don’t test too soon!
