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

Decided to set up a thread for ladies due to ovulate some time around the 22nd March. If you're due to OV around this time, come on in!

I find these easier to follow than the big month-long threads.

Thought we could all test at similar times, discuss our crazy symptom spotting, and all the other "fun" around TTC.

You're doubly welcome if you're a POaS addict like me Grin

About me:
33
This will be cycle 5 after TFMR last year.

TTC our first

I've tried conceive plus, preseed, all manner of ovulation kits, etc.

This month I'm going to focus on losing half a stone. I've put a lot of weight on since my TFMR. I think i could be disadvantaging myself. I'm also going to cut down on caffeine throughout the who cycle.

I've also bought the Harvard medical school Fertility Diet book, all backed up with science so I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

Here's a summary if anybody interested: www.urmc.rochester.edu/medialibraries/urmcmedia/fertility-center/education/documents/fertility-diet.pdf

@deathbycats hahaha that is me!
That's why I'm not buying any as it's too disappointing and I feel stupid!

@Kinsella82 I have no idea about that stuff. I would assume ov had happened and start counting down the long, boring TWW.

At least work will keep me busy tomorrow Grin

@crazybunnylady123

I’m also 34 TTC number 2. This is my fifth cycle. Are you worried about your age & being able to conceive? I’m driving myself crazy thinking I should have tried earlier.

Ok as some of you will remember I got a bfp on Friday, two infact but then none yesterday or today so I'm putting it down to some kind of blip.
On Friday and yesterday I also got positive opks, SO I have decided to take it that I've just ovulated. Counting yesterday as Ov day. Does that sound right? Instructions say Ov occurs 12-36 hours after the positive so 12-36 hours from first positive opk would be yesterday.
So am I 1 dpo now?
So sorry if I've confused anyone!
Also had lots of ewcm this weekend and cramps low down on my left hand side.
Had been doing SMEP so really crossing everything.
Baby dust to all!

Crazybunnylady123 · 24/03/2019 13:46

Hi,

I’m 34 trying to conceive 2nd baby.
2nd month of trying.
Now in my tww.
Trying not to think about it too much, but it’s already making me slightly crazy! I think it might take us sometime.
Dd took just over a year. She’s almost two now.

Robbo93 · 24/03/2019 12:10

I'm the same... so impatient!! Blush

deathbycats · 24/03/2019 11:01

I don't want to test before next Sunday which will be 10-11DPO, but I'm thinking about going to Home Bargains to get some cheapie strips because I can have them in my possession quicker than I can ordering them through Amazon just now. But if I'll have them I'll do something stupid like test at 5dpo when I haven't even had any implantation opportunity yet.

plipliop · 24/03/2019 10:15

I keep adding pg tests to my basket and then deleting them Blush

I know I'll do them all over 1 day if I order them.

Kinsella82 · 23/03/2019 12:07

Good luck waiting @plipliop !! You can do it xxx

Kinsella82 · 23/03/2019 12:06

@plipliop I really don't know and that's the annoying thing. I think I'm Ov right now so I can't understand the bfp's yesterday. Putting it down to some kind of blip and focusing on dtd as much as possible this weekend! Seeing the bfp yesterday has gotten me so excited tho - if it was just too early and if it was a real bfp then it'll come back I guess! Trying to keep positive and keep focussed!

plipliop · 23/03/2019 11:17

Aw @Kinsella82 BFNs are the worst but it's such early days. I'm trying not to test until 28th when I'll be 11 dpo but not sure if I'll make it. How many dpo are you? We can sit it out together!

Michellebops · 23/03/2019 11:15

I hear ya. Good luck x

Robbo93 · 23/03/2019 10:50

@Michellebops I don't see any change in my CM but I haven't the whole way through my cycle. I'll try and DTD later on today as it may make a difference but hubby can only DTD every other day otherwise it's HOUUUUUUURS and nobody got time for that Grin

Michellebops · 23/03/2019 08:34

@Robbo93 we should keep each other off the testing.

I fell asleep at 9.30 last night then our 3 year old came into bed with me at 1am so we didn't managed to dtd last night.

I've notice the change in cm today so hopefully we'll still have a chance tonight

Michellebops · 23/03/2019 08:32

Sorry for your bfn @Kinsella82

When is your af due? Maybe too early 🤞

Kinsella82 · 23/03/2019 08:02

Sorry meant BFN this morning :-/

Kinsella82 · 23/03/2019 07:37

Update: after yesterday's bfp I spent all day thinking about it and couldn't wait so held my urine yesterday for over four hours and POAS again and it was a line again but this was a bit faded which was fine as it was not fmu but this mornings was a bfp :( which was fmu.

Robbo93 · 22/03/2019 22:02

@20TinkerBell20 CD21 for me (& I think ovulation day) and I've hardly noticed any CM!

Robbo93 · 22/03/2019 22:00

@Michellebops I didn't get the smiley today either so guessing we've got similar timings. DTD last night but fingers crossed that's enough as no chance tonight x

20TinkerBell20 · 22/03/2019 21:04

I’ve had literally no change in CM at all and no EWCM and supposed to O tomorrow (CD17) Had on and off period ache on left side for a few days but nothing else seems to be happening. I also had this cramping around CD8/9. DTD on 8,9,12 and 14 but feel like nothing has happened and I have missed it somehow.

Michellebops · 22/03/2019 19:21

Thank you!

I've got lower pains so I guess it's happening now.

Flo predicted today but was out by 2 days last month so I assumed would be the same this month.

Fingers crossed I'm ok for this month.

Got blood test next week on day 21 to check in ovulating

deathbycats · 22/03/2019 18:54

I think that means your surge has passed. Ovulation should happen within 24-36 hours of your surge so today should be ovulation day for you. Egg is good for 12-24 hours after ovulation Smile

Michellebops · 22/03/2019 18:32

Help opk question, so I tested positive with the smiley face last night. Tested again 5 minutes ago with a 4 hour hold and just got a negative circle.

What does that mean? I've missed ovulation?

Michellebops · 22/03/2019 13:17

I had a positive smiley last night. Didn't bother checking today, wasn't sure if I was supposed to?

Dtd last night and will do tonight and tomorrow.

No feelings of ov yet though

WrexhamBuxom · 22/03/2019 13:04

Hey there March 22nd-ers. The day has arrived. How is everyone doing?

As for me, after my positive OPKs yesterday, I was expecting a rise in temperature, but...my temp actually went down. I don't know that it went down enough to qualify as a "dip" necessarily, but it did go down slightly. I took temps twice yesterday, so I don't think they were an anamoly. Both positive. I have not yet done an OPK test today.

Upon researching, I am getting answers from all over the board. Some say you probably already ovulated. Some say it's coming. Some say it might still be 2-3-5 days. Others say that you can O but still not get a temp rise for a couple of days...or even at all. So, at this point....I have no idea where things stand. Maybe I O-ed, maybe I didn't.

I guess the only thing to do now is the BD with the guy, whether it's a waste of time or not. I am joking, as I love being intimate with my partner. So, it will happen either way.
