TTC First Baby Thread 20

And also, why are you still doing the OPKs, haha? Is it only me who stops after Ov?

@XjustagirlX - ah so we’ll all kind of know around next weekend! Exciting :)

If your temps have gone up, it’s unlikely you’re yet to Ov.
You have LH in your system at a certain level all through your cycle, so it possible you’ve just caught it? But it’s also possible to gear up to Ov (creating highs/peaks) several times a cycle before you actually do Ov.
Have your temps gone up to a range higher than pre-Ov? And by how much?

OMG I don’t know what’s going on. I got a clear blue peak on Tuesday. I then got a positive on the cheap strip OPKs on Wednesday. Negative on Thursday and then I’ve just got a positive today. What’s going on? Have I not ovulated yet or is it possible to ovulate twice within a couple of days?

@ELW85 and @LokiCat AF due for me on 17th so very similar.

We DTD last night just in case. We are DTD the day before ov and the day before that so hoping we caught it. I try to think of the TWW as a one week wait as I start testing after 9 days. It seems to make it go quicker for me and testing gives me something to do.

My temps have increased slightly today 2dpo. There hasn’t been a big increase though. I’m hoping it will crease again tomorrow.

@Lozzlepop - how exciting! How are you feeling? You’ve done so well not to test!

@LokiCat - ah we’re in it together then :) we can keep each other sane in the wait; I’m sure it’ll fly over though.
DOMS are awful, but having a protein shake straight after a workout definitely helps.

@LokiCat I have no idea, I know the woman across the road leaves her cat out all the time so not sure if there's a new cat in the neighbourhood that she's scrapping with. Then it agitates our cat so its a nightmare! Yeah he is, I really think he's ex-military 😂Thanks so much lovely ❤️I have been feeling really sick yesterday and today so I am hoping that I am able to give him an amazing bday surprise 😄What have you got on this weekend?

@Lozzlepop oh no! Do you know whose cats they are? How annoying to be constantly disturbing your sleep!
Ouch your class instructor sounds brutal.
Ah I hope your OH has a lovely birthday and fingers crossed you're able to give him positive news as a birthday present! Good luck for testing tomorrow/Sunday xx

@ELW85 oh I hadn't heard of DOMS until I googled it. I'd normally have a hot bath, but don't think this is the weather for it. Think it'll be a sofa night for me, especially as DH is working a late shift.
Haha hope your punishment isn't too bad tonight!
I'll be testing next week most likely (or keeping everything crossed that AF doesn't show up). AF is due on 15/07 as well. Hopefully next week will go by quickly for us!

@ELW85 well he might have a surprise gift too as I will be testing tomorrow or on his bday as AF was due between today and Sun according to my apps 😄

@Lozzlepop - ah that sounds lovely! He’s definitely done well :)

Is anyone due to test this weekend? I’ve lost track of us all!

@ELW85 it has been the longest week ever 🙄sounds like you have covered the bases! I got him some boots, aftershave and a card wallet thing plus some little bits and I am taking him out for lunch on Sunday 😄think he's done not bad!

Well I’m not ashamed to say we just didn’t manage it last night!
It’s been a long week 😂 but we got the days of/before Ov (as well as Wednesday) covered so I’m not sure there’s much more we could have done.
BFP/AF due 15/07 so let the awful wait commence!

@LokiCat - uhoh! Sounds like you’ve got the dreaded DOMS! We’re at the gym tonight for a CrossFit session as punishment for missing circuits yesterday 😂

@MrsH497 - I’m sure you’ll catch it if you DTD later :)

@Lozzlepop -ooh exciting!! What have you got him? It has been a stupidly long week but we’re nearly there 😃

@LokiCat the scrapping cats were back at it last night 🙈legs are still sore and stairs are a bloody nightmare, squats are the worst, my class instructor makes you do them on your tiptoes 😬

@XjustagirlX I would say you are fine as long as you have DTD in the run up to OV, the cycle we got our BFP on we only DTD one in the FW.

@MrsH497 I would DTD tonight to be on the safe side

So happy the weekend is almost here, it has been such a long week and I have been constantly exhausted! Looking forward to a weekend of family fun for the OHs bday!

Thanks @LokiCat first month after MC everyone says you'll be super fertile but I don't believe it!

It's Friday!! Hurrah xx

Morning ladies! My legs are feeling worse today! 🙈 think I should have taken it easy with the squats and lunges!!
So happy it's Friday. This week has been so tiring!

@ELW85 haha think you definitely deserve some rest after all that hard work!!

@MrsH497 Ovulation occurs 12-36 hours after peak OPK and then the egg lives for about 12-24 after ovulation, so if you DTD tonight fingers crossed you'll be covered! :)

Have a lovely day ladies! Xx

Ahh didn't DTD last night I was so exhausted after work I fell asleep ridiculously early. I've missed it this month haven't I?! We DTD Tuesday which was in fertile window, if we do it tonight will that be enough?! X

@LokiCat - it was helpful, so thank you :) going to DTD tonight to cover our bases and then have a week off 😂

@ELW85 enjoy sofa time!! We all need that now and again.
I think it means you have ovulated today. I'm not too sure in regards to LH surges. Hopefully confirmation in the morning if your temp spikes. Sorry, I know that wasn't helpful at all!

@LokiCat - I was going to gym it, but I’m too tired. Sofa time!

I think the tiredness is inhibiting my memory though - can anytime help with my question...
I had day 2 of an LH surge this morning but it’s gone back down to border high/low this afternoon.
Would you say that means I’ve Ov at some point today or am still to Ov?

@XjustagirlX I don't know if you use FF, but I was looking at their chart gallery and comparing my chart (as I also didn't DTD on day of O) and there's quite a few BFP charts that were in the same situation (I attached two), so fingers crossed you're covered!
Sorry you both had an argument, I hope everything is okay.

@ELW85 no I think I'm just going to relax tonight! Have you, apart from the gym?

@LokiCat - thanks lovely! I’m exhausted now. Sounds like you’ve had a crazy day too! Any plans this evening?

@XjustagirlX - it’s actually way more important to do it the day before Ov. Day of Ov is quite time limited, so the chances are

How bad is it not to DTD on ovulation day. Me and DH had a massive argument last night so didn’t end up DTD. We did DTD the day before ovulation and the day before that as well. Have we completely screwed up our chances this cycle?

@MrsH497 great you got your static smiley! Enjoy tonight 😊

@Anny27 haha yeah my DH has just told me to let him know when it's his time to shine 😂 otherwise I'm the one with the crazy google history! 🙈

@Lozzlepop my legs are very sore as well, especially on the stairs! Just ran to catch a train as well, which didn't help (caught it at least!).
My cat jumped on me last night, waking me up at 2am, so I also I felt shattered today. The weekend can't come fast enough!

@ELW85 ah okay, I hope it went better today! It does take some time for people to accept change.
I'm a lot better than I was this morning! Our office is on the third floor, so I think walking up and down loosened my legs up. Have a good time at the gym, and I hope you won't be as sore as us! 😂

@LikeTheFruit ahh it's always so lovely seeing it in words! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months! Definitely pop in to let us know how you're doing 😊 xx

Had such a busy day of meetings, so happy to be on my way home!
Hope you all have a lovely evening!

@ELW85 glad to hear you are ok, I'm sure things will get easier with time. I am stiff as soon as I get up but after walking for about 10 seconds or so it eases off lol!

@LikeTheFruit yaaaaaay nice to see those words!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months lovely!

So snoozy today, roll on 5pm!!

@LikeTheFruit - congratulations again! Have a happy and healthy 9 months!!

@LikeTheFruit Congratulations:D hope all goes well for you xx
