TTC & due to OV around the 22nd March? Come on in!

I didn't do this with my first and second!
It's like torture...

I hear ya @plipliop :(

How am I only 9dpo?!

TWW feels like TMW (months)

@Michellebops that was what I was getting yesterday but fine today!

Hiya, been crazy busy with my daughter's first bday then bit of sickness so haven't been keeping up to date am afraid. Just had a quick catch up and sounds like some of us are in with a good chance this month.
Mine has bee so messed up- normally get the solid face/positive opk on day 12ish - only started getting flashy faces on day 12...day 15 here and still flashing face. Not sure what's happened this month, only dtd once (today) so convinced have missed ovulation totally. I'm still getting light brown spotting so not sure what's going on. So, in a nutshell am pretty convinced they'll be no Dec baby for me but will symptom spot along with the best all the same! Hopefully this is the lucky month for at least a few of us.

2/3 days dpo and cramping in lower left uterus area.

Most likely absolutely nothing but that doesn't stop the symptom spotting 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good plan!

Just got wee one off to sleep!
Not had dinner yet, debating going straight for the wine 😂

@Michellebops me neither, I'm just going by the day after my LH surge.

I feel ya. I feel poopy too. I think we do it ourselves by stressing too much xx

@Robbo93 I'm not actually sure when I ovulated. So I can't count how many days 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've had lower cramps and sore boobs.

Far far too early to be symptom spotting.

I had some ecwm yesterday but totally dry today.

Think I'm out before it's even started.

Bit stressed today and emotionally upset so that won't be helping xx

@20TinkerBell20 and @Michellebops looks we've ovulated at the exact same time.. I'm 3DPO today (I think!)

Too early (surely?) to be having symptoms, but I've had lower back ache for the last couple of days, and a couple of twinges today on one side of my uterus. Stuck a finger up and I had what I can only describe as milk (too watery to be lotion-like)

Well...I have failed. Again. Argh.

Last I posted, I had gotten 2 positive OPKs on 3/21, and no temp rise on 3/22. Just shortly after that post, I did get a negative OPK. It was a slight negative, but it was a negative nonetheless.

This is where I failed. So, it was/is crucial to get a temperature spike to see if/when ovulation happened. BUT, I have been with my SO since 3/22, and we have made love (sometimes multiple times) first thing in the morning every single day. And other times too, but specifically first thing in the morning, before I could temp.

It's kind of crushing, because all those OPKs, all that temping, all that tracking day after day, it feels like it is all down the drain...all for nothing. I will say, after my negative OPK on 3/22, my philosophy was..."If it's meant to be, it will be." There wasn't anything I could do about it at that point. And, in that sense, I still have that viewpoint. It's still a case of timing and luck. BUT, for future reference, it's tough to not know what my ovulation situation is. I will temp tomorrow, (hopefully) and see if there has been a rise. I may not know when the rise started, but I will at least know if it's happened. And, there's always April.

I mean I’m usually good at symptom spotting just before AF but ok fully aware nothing will be happenning yet even if it was going too but I can defo feel these aches and pains. Very strange

Yes I'm getting them! Cramps are like the start of af but more intense! I really hope lots of us get good news by the end of next week!!

Yes I had that yesterday. A couple of sharp stabbing pains in my boobs today.

I ovulated somewhere between Friday and Sunday with af due 6th April

Anyone else keep getting period type pains. I’m only around 2/3 dpo and 12 days away from next AF but I’ve had sharp pain in left ovary area which has now gone which I assume was O and then now I keep getting achy bloated period type ache along with a stabbing pain which is slightly more central

@crazybunnylady123

Going to try and go with the flow. I think that’s been my issue been too caught up in the apps, opks and temping that I need to go back to basics and start relaxing a bit more

@Explorers10
Don’t think you should worry at all Just try and go with the Flo. 🙂
The tww is the frustrating part for me. It’s a case of am I or arnt I.
I don’t feel positive this month. Have you tried using a tracker app like flo? I’m finding I’m getting to know my cycle more. X

@crazybunnylady123

Thank you for being so positive about the age, you have made me feel a lot better! Just need to try and see what happens. Conceived on 1st cycle with 1st so being on 5th cycle TTC number 2 has made me all anxious.

Yep I'm symptom spotting and I'm only 3DPO .. no chance of symptoms yet 😂😂

I was lying in bed this morning and felt a funny low down cramping and I knew it was too early for implantation so was lying there thinking “maybe it’s some sort of cramping to help things along out of my tube” 🤣 I’m glad I’ve got a few things to do today to keep me busy if that’s the way I’m headed with symptom spotting!

Yep, symptom spotting it is!
(Even though timing has meant I have almost zero chance this month I won’t be able to resist)

So I’m guessing we’re all potentially past OV date now. Does this mean we all frantically start symptom spotting even though we promise ourselves we won’t do it this month

Also I’m just 34!

@Explorers10
Not really worried about my age to be honest. I already know I have a chance as I have one child. I want a nice age gap so waited till now to start.
If it was my first baby I might be concerned but Women a lot older than us manage to get pregnant with no problems.
