Really enjoyed being on the Christmas day testing thread even though I was out before the 25th. I thought it would be good to start another thread for peoplw to join me in the TWW since the January buses are such a long period and some people are 14dpo and some like me are counting down the hours to the TWW. I ovulate on Friday 4th or Saturday 5th. Opks are very low at the moment but hoping to catch a surge. Still trying to DTD everyday (we are newlyweds), keep forgetting to take our vitamins and to use preseed but hoping just to get lucky on our second cycle.

Hi @ohio91
I just took an opk and got my first ever peak the test line was actually darker than the control which is kind of didn't believe was possible so I think I ovulate tomorrow. I have the dentist on 17th so will be testing on that day so I can avoid x-rays (I know it's not necessary) and maybe they won't charge me if I am pregnant Grin

Hey! I'm officially in this club lol. Ov date predicted as today but I think it may have been yesterday going by cramping etc. Due bfp or af on 17th Jan so we are basically in the same boat!! Going to try my best to hold off on poas but I have 5 in the drawer so I can't make any promises lol.

Age - 27
TTC - #1
Cycle 1 (should be 2 but last month I got dates wrong so it shouldn't count lol)

Hi!
Pleased you started a thread. I was tempted...
I’m testing on the 12th but it seems like ages away! It’s a few days early but can’t wait any longer!
I’m obsessed with symptom spotting at the moment!

I mentioned it because I wonder if it could affect things. I feel sick sometimes, painful have to take to bed. I have had 60 day cycles with no hormonal birth control, 52 days bleeding on the implant, two attempts to get hormonal coil in failed and the hospital had to put in the smaller one when gave me excruciating pain for weeks and still painful periods. Sometimes my periods are bright red sometimes they are almost black and so painful that I feel like something has gone very wrong inside me.
It's only my second cycle, I have had normal scans, no fibroids, no cysts just a weird period problem traditionally solved in my family by having a baby (in your twenties!)

OP when you mention you have painful periods, do you say that because it can affect conception? We're trying for #1 and I've always had the most agonising periods, I black hardly move, feel sick, had terrible aching in my legs and back ache. It's the only time my DP shows me any sympathy lol!

Welcome @nutterpotter
How many days dpo are you?
I am still in my fertile week which kind of feels a bit like a second honeymoon not like last months trying which felt like a mission. Hopefully better DTDing is better at making babies!

I am a teacher still hanging on for a September baby!
Medical: High BMI and history of painful periods.
Symptoms: cramps all month long since we started to TTC...think it might be due to the relentless babydancing!
