So, the subject says it all! Although I feel I may have more a chance this month.
I came off the pill December - last month we was out. But this month, I apparently ovulated yesterday 12/01/20. We did the deed twice 2 days before ovulation... so today Iam 1dpo.

Anyone in the same that wants to join?
I really want to try not symptom spot, but yesterday I felt the cramps - which led me to think it was ovulation.

@Mamahannah2019

Yep same.. although I’m going with Sunday 12th just because majority has come back with that and that is when the cramps started! My CM has been White/clear wet really hard to describe if I’m honest, not sticky or really wet. My Cervix is so high I cannot even feel it.
I still have pains now... but very mild, feel like period pains.

@Kates21 genuinely dont know where I am in my cycle, it's quite variable and i dont always have symptoms with ovulation. So might have to invest in ovulation tests. I use clue but it would help if my body was a bit more predictable... I would guess only about 2 days dpo so there is no way anything I think I'm feeling is pregnancy related!!

So glad to have people to talk to, no one I can talk to IRL about this (can anyone really?!)

Mamahannah2019 · 14/01/2020 16:11

@Kates21 hey! God knows what's happening with me. I have a few apps and one say ovulation was the 12th and the other says 13th but I he EWCM yesterday and today too! God knows but keeping everything crossed for us all x

@MilsCookie

Hey.
I’ve had cramps since Sunday - but I can never tell the difference between AF and Ovulation, I just know it’s not AF lol! And I’ve read you can cramp for a few days after Ovulation.... who knows! I bought some cheap tests off amazon... AF is due 26th, so I’m going to test from 21st (delivery test date) xx

@Kates21 it’s so hard isn’t it! I’ve had some strange cramps today that don’t feel like AF or ovulation so god knows what they are! I don’t know when I ovulated but I’m thinking it was yesterday so not sure how many dpo I am. Just gonna go with the flow and if AF doesn’t show up by 31st Jan I will do a test!

@MilsCookie

I use period tracker too, it’s quite good I prefer it to flo if I’m honest. Flo is always a day out, where period tracker has always been bang on with af due dates etc.

It’s exciting isn’t it, I can’t wait to see if any of us get BFP

Trying not to symptom spot, ovulated Sunday according to app had cramps, yesterday cramps & today cramps.. I’m writing down each day in my notes to keep track!

MilsCookie · 14/01/2020 10:19

Thanks @Kates21 😘 yeah I use the Flo app!

Also can’t wait to see if anyone gets a BFP this cycle! Xxx

Hey @MilsCookie

Welcome!!
Sorry to hear about your MMC ❤️

I’ve always listened to my body, apart from using apps! I was cramping yesterday & today slightly, although yesterday was much more frequent - according to app yesterday was ovulation day. So I’m 1dpo with af due 26th!

Good luck! Can’t wait to see if any of us have a BFP xx

Hello ladies 👋 please can I join?
This is my first cycle actively TTC after having mmc from an accidental (but very much wanted) pregnancy in November at 12 weeks (baby only measured around 10 weeks).

I haven’t used OPKs or temping etc, I just know my cycle and signs from my body to know when to dtd around ovulation! I think I either ovulated yesterday or today going by cramps... so going to say tomorrow I will be 1dpo!

Excited to be in the TWW with you all and hopefully we’ll have some BFPs in the next couple of weeks! AF due 28th Jan xxx

Hey @Mamahannah2019

Welcome!!
I’m 1dpo too, ovulated yesterday according to apps although I’m sure I did my cramps were full force and had some today! Fingers crossed! DTD two days before ovulation twice late Friday Eve.

Bobbelle · 13/01/2020 22:58

@Kates21 I am fairly certain I am 1dpo. I lost my son at 21 weeks last month and haven't had AF since but had a positive opk and ewcm yesterday and the 2 days before so am going to go with ovulation yesterday and see if I can hold out until the 26th before I test

Mamahannah2019 · 13/01/2020 22:53

Can I join? Think I'm 1DPO today, one of my apps is saying ovulation today mind so I DTD yesterday and today just incase (DTD 5 times over the last 1.5 weeks so hopefully enough). Hope we all get some luck! X

So are you 1dpo?

If so I’m 1dpo, been having cramps yesterday (ovulation) and cramps throughout today! Also a heavy bloated achey tummy! Lots of wee’s and so thirsty!

Hi ladies, can I join in too?
I think I ovulated on 9/1, our first proper month TTC. I've got PCOS with my last period being back in March last year. I had an induced one back in November, and appear to have ovulated according to my OPKs this month, so fingers crossed!

ipodtherforipoor · 13/01/2020 19:47

1dpo - I'm 40 with DS15, he was a lovely surprise discovered at 24weeks so all this trying is super new to me!

@sh84
Ohhhh I never knew this about sex during TWW, Interesting... so many different things on the internet!
The apps I have all say the same dates & last month the app predicted my af and af arrived that day... so pretty sure they are good enough!

@Anny27 Same period due then, I’m going to start testing from 21st because I’m a nightmare basically haha! Wow that’s a lot of sex, I have high hopes for you.
I only managed it twice 😫 xx

sh84 · 13/01/2020 18:44

@Kates21 I’ve only used clue so got nothing to compare it to & only started tracking cycle from September when I got my first period after giving birth. It seems pretty accurate so far but I only used OPKs for 1 month & have never done BBT but since sept it’s been spot on. Sex in the TWW- conflicting advice, no hard evidence either way, sex causes the uterus to contract therefore could prevent implantation but then the other end says the contractions help the embryo, I see the logic for arguing against sex in the TWW. I had a CP in October & had sex the day before I started bleeding so can’t help thinking that was something to do with it, I don’t want to tell OH I don’t want it as I don’t want it to be all about baby making but I just don’t want to do anything that could prevent anything. This is me taking the relax approach (rolls eyes)

Anny27 · 13/01/2020 18:42

I use clue app and femometer :) says period is due 26th Jan!

Umm we are probably thankful to lay off the sex for a while - did it 9 times in the last 2 weeks and that's enough for now hahaha 🤣🤣

Speaking of testing - I’ve just bought a load of cheap strip tests of amazon! So atleast I can use them before buying expensive ones!

Thanks @kates21, af is due on the 27th, am hoping I can hope out on testing until at least 12dpo
