Ovulation day - 2ww just starting

Anyone fancy a little obsessing? 😂
I'm apparently ovulating today according to peak clearblue yesterday and my apps.
I never used to have such a long luteal phase as it was only 10 days so having to wait for 14 is going to drive me nuts 🙈

@Lauraliverpool hehehehe, it's true though don't you think 😂🙈 even if it's just for a week! If you think you can pinpoint your O day or you're able to DTD every other day/everyday in the FW then ditch them. BUT I do think they are handy for reassurance. Not that I've used them before but definitely want to if not already PG!

@Treaclepie19 definitely. 4-5 times in that week was tough. We did 3 days in a row and then day 4 I welcomed the break 🙈 we enjoyed it but I just needed some rest hehe!

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2019 15:11

@Lauraliverpool apparently mine now vary by up to 10 days 😭

Every other day only lasts about a week at most. It's too much 😂

@Treaclepie19 with my cycles seeming to change by a few days, we dtd The day I got a high and the two days of peak, maybe we should have done a few more days after that aswell. My cycles seem to vary by a few days. Just trying to work out fertile week aswell and going by Flo app too. Xx

Lauraliverpool · 22/10/2019 14:54

That made me smile @Gigi318 😂 just gonna have to say to hubby need to get on with it more!! Lol!! Just don't know whether to jib off the ovulation tests this try and see what happens! Xx

Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 14:53

@Treaclepie19 hehehehe 🙈 every other day feels like so much hehe!! Last month we did twice just before as OH was away and then I think I got O day wrong anyway 🙄 so I was determined to actually give it a shot and we did so who knows! So tough being in this last stretch isn't it!!

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2019 14:42

🤞🤞 for you @Gigi318!!

Yeah the times we've had a bfp I've always been sure we haven't dtd enough!

Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 14:31

@Treaclepie19 that's really handy to know and gives me a little more confidence. This month I just wanted to try and do as much as possible to cover everything. So 🤞🏻 it worked!!

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2019 14:17

@Lauraliverpool we normally manage every other day for fertile week.
It's a struggle with trying to get our little one to bed.
We have conceived 3 times doing that though.

Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 13:48

@Lauraliverpool absolutely. This month I sort of thought, well timing is obviously important but in the olden days they just DTD all the time and out popped the babies 😂🙈 so if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me hehehe!!

Lauraliverpool · 22/10/2019 13:28

@Gigi318 this month we managed 3 times but I'm hoping to try more through the month cause I think the problem is or I hope is that we haven't been dtd enough. Just got to make more time! X

@gigi32 get where you're coming from having a little boy can make it hard sometimes, like getting him settled and up to bed then waiting for him to fall asleep. Have been using ovulation tests past few months the clear blue ones. Xx

Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 12:39

@Lauraliverpool In the FW we did 5 times in a week. Tough but 🤞🏻 Honestly in real life (when not TTC) we can go from like 2-3 times a week to like nothing for 2-3 weeks 😂 one of us is tired or ill or whatever. It varies tbh! What about you??

@bellebox19 welcome. Sorry to hear of your struggles. It's hard. Do your best to distract yourself if you can. 7DPO is still super early. But you've made it through the first part and now you're onto the second stretch. Woohoo and this more exciting one. When is AF due?? X

bellebox19 · 22/10/2019 11:58

Hey, can I jump on?

7dpo. Hoping for a miracle, it's our first cycle after taking a break for a while. The stress got too much after 18 months as well as PCOS symptoms.

We only DTD once, on day I think I ov'd so not holding out much hope. After getting all caught up in the obsessing again I've realised that if we got pregnant this cycle the due date would be our third anniversary. I'll be extra sad if we're out this month Sad.

At 3dpo I woke up feeling like total crap. Super bloated and constipated for 4 days. Very gassy, emotional and my nipples have been too sore to touch. Had slight cramping but nothing of note. Had a sudden acne outbreak too. Over the past few days I've had a constant mix of ewcm but white in colour and now constant wet white creamy stuff. I'm hoping but also just keep thinking it's not going to happen. It's felt like the longest 7 days ever! X

gigi32 · 22/10/2019 11:49

@Lauraliverpool hey I think that's loads and it's kinda hard for us to do it that much considering we have a dd! I'm going to say use ovulation kits! That way you get it bang on. Others advice tho please!

Lauraliverpool · 22/10/2019 10:50

Definitely @Gigi318!! X
Can I ask you girls a question?? How often do you dtd each month?. I've just seen the doctor for something else and asked him whilst I was there and he says 3 to 4 times per week?

Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 09:58

Morning ladies, how are we all??

@Lauraliverpool that's amazing. I need a book like that at the moment. To distract me!!!

@rosie561 don't worry, a friend and I had this discussion the other day and I feel like if I get a BFP I will think oh shit, what have I done 🤣🤣🤣 despite wanting it more than anything. And that's what my friend did wig her first. So I think that's normal. Thank you babe. Enjoy your break 💖💖💖

@MsMiaWallace hey chick! Not after yesterday's BFN 🙈 I think I might wait til Thursday if AF isn't here. I can imagine babe. It must be so amazing but scary getting that BFP 😍🙈

@Treaclepie19 thank you chick. A few more days to go. Let's hope AF stays away. No real brown CM today yet. I had the tiniest bit of pinkish looking CM about half an hour ago but nothing since. So we shall see!
Sorry to here you're feeling crappy. Hope you feel better soon. Lots of water, carbs, and rest babe! Have you caught it from little man??

Lauraliverpool · 22/10/2019 09:51

Awwh thank you! @rosie561 😘xx

Treaclepie19 · 22/10/2019 09:16

Keeping everything crossed for you @Gigi318!

I'm on CD7 here. I've not been doing my bbt or opks as I'm unwell and not sleeping. Meant to start dtd tonight and that is not happening 🤧🤒😭

MsMiaWallace · 22/10/2019 07:52

I feel ok.
Popped into town yesterday to get my nails done & came over all hot & coughing. Had to ask for water!

I'm hungry all the time!!

Booked my midwife appointment yesterday for 12th November.
Just feels very surreal!

I've done about 7 hpts!!

gigi32 · 22/10/2019 07:46

@MsMiaWallace I should but I feel af coming on so if it hasn't arrived by Thursday I will!

How are you feeling??

MsMiaWallace · 22/10/2019 07:37

Congratulations @rosie561!
Your going to be due around same time as me!!

@gigi32
@Gigi318 are you guys testing today?

rosie561 · 22/10/2019 06:35

@Lauraliverpool your creations are gorgeous!

rosie561 · 22/10/2019 06:33

Thank you everyone, it doesn't quite seem real. @Gigi318 I feel a bit freaked out! But in a good way. Symptom wise, I don't really have anything, so I don't know if that's good or bad. Just on holiday for a few days at the moment, so it was really weird timing to go the rest and then get on a plane for 4 hrs a few hours later.

I'm thinking of you all in the TWW and will be checking back in to see how you all are! Sending you lots of positive vibes for TTC

Lauraliverpool · 21/10/2019 22:31

@Gigi318 it was really good, read it in about 4 days I think. Xx

gigi32 · 21/10/2019 21:47

@Gigi318 my af is due tomorrow also! I'm not buying any tests so I don't get tempted!

Gigi318 · 21/10/2019 19:54

@Lauraliverpool thanks chick! That sounds good. I quite like the thriller books and they make you want to keep reading!!
