Hi everyone! think I ovulated a couple of days ago so think I'm officially in the TWW, tentatively trying for our 3rd baby 🤞🏻 xx

Well I've just done another opk randomly and it's not positive, but there's a line there that wasnt yesterday. So maybe i didn't ovulate Hmm is it possible to get another positive opk in a few days?!

@ivf2019 good luck! I have everything crossed for you. I reckon I'll also be approx 10 dpo on the 21st so might test same day as you! I think ill be due on around xmas/boxing day. Tbh this is my v first proper attempt at ttc no.1 through tracking ovulation etc. I've been off the pill since September. So think my cycles are still settling.
Even though it's only a month I feel like I'm going to be disappointed if it's a bfn which is ridiculous really! At least I'll be able to have a Xmas drink I suppose!

Well i think mines slightly different to you ladies due to it being ivf.
So I’m thinking I’ll start testing as early as Sunday.
Ok so what I’ve done is kept my feet nice and warm (hot water bottle and socks l) helps with implantation and been eating Brazilian nuts, that helps too apparently. Try it ladies xx

Not sure. I have two CB and two FRER tests at home from being optimistic last month (period arrived before I needed them ha) so it's going to be hard not to start testing early!

I'm due on 23rd/24th so going to try and hold out testing until the 21st when I'll be 10dpo. My period has turned up perfectly timed to ruin most big events this year so I'm not expecting it to let me have Christmas off haha.

What about you, will you hold off until OTD?

When will you test @Emmalouise5688 @pastaallday?

Bananacloud · 13/12/2018 13:30

When you testing during your tww @ivf2019?

ivf2019 · 13/12/2018 12:50

Ooooh fingers crossed @bananacloud! What a lovely Christmas present a BFP would be. I really hope it is!

Thank you - it's a long old wait so earliest we'll actually be starting treatment would probably be August but they insist on you being on "robust contraception" from the minute you sign the forms. Which is a whole other massive eyeroll but nevermind, it will be worth it if it works!

@ivf2019 good luck with your ivf cycle (if it comes to that) for me it wasn’t bad. I had 5 embryos (all 5 day embryos)
Fresh was bfn
1st frozen bfn
2nd frozen bfp (11month baby girl)
And I’m on 4th one now. I’m so nervous!!

Bananacloud · 13/12/2018 12:38

I’m day 2 of an 5 day transfer. My test is on 24th Dec smile]

ivf2019 · 13/12/2018 12:21

Me too - I'm ~2po. This is our last cycle TTC as I'm having IVF for genetic reasons (have a 50% chance of passing on a condition that's not compatible with life) and the clinic insist on us being on contraception from as soon as we sign the form saying we want to go ahead. So returning everything in January and having this cycle as a last crack of the whip!

I'm trying to be chilled but because it's the last cycle I'm so hopeful. That said even if I am pregnant we'd then have the waiting game to see if the baby was healthy, so it's possibly better if I'm not!

How long have you both been TTC? The TWW is the worst isn't it!

Emmalouise5688 · 13/12/2018 12:03

I have literally just done it tracking my cm and using the ovia app so hopefully we did the baby dance had the right time haha

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what day in on as this is only my second month tracking ovaultion. I got positive opk on Monday morning but no temperature rise tue or wed. I did get a bit of a rise this morning though so perhaps I have ovulated? Maybe 1/2/3 dpo!
