I think this Friday is ovulation day, going to put in lots of effort this next week and keep my fingers crossed! Anyone else trying this cycle and want to join the thread for moral support?

Late to this one but totally with you all! This is cycle 5 for us and I am so so hoping this is it!

I'm starting to think the second pink line is a myth!

I think I can start testing Saturday - I'll be 9dpo so I'm keeping everything crossed.

I'm so nervous about it being another chemical. Fingers crossed! In a bizarre twist, it means this little one and my DS might have the same birthday.

Twitchett22 · 12/02/2020 20:34

@BumbleNova yaaaay congrats!
I'm only 5DPO so not tested yet but its bloody killing me waiting

AMAZING NEWS! Xxx

@Twitchett22 @calimommy @RyanStartedTheFire how are you all getting on?

I caved and tested early Blush. I had been feeling so bloated and uncomfy. BFP! I'm in shock. Only 9DPO!

@Twitchett22 how's it going? Have you ovulated yet? I haven't had a positive OPK yet, other than my early one just a few days after AF. If that was my O then I'm worried because it happened too soon for the egg to be ready. The tests are all getting fainter and fainter though so 🤷‍♀️ feeling a bit lost

RyanStartedTheFire · 05/02/2020 17:48

Also in the 2WW here TTC number three. I ovulated on the 2nd according to my OPKs, cycle day 21! So I'll be testing Valentine's Day if I manage to hold out.

calimommy · 05/02/2020 17:39

@Twitchett22 haha for sure!

Twitchett22 · 05/02/2020 17:29

@calimommy there's definitely a part of me that wishes I hadn't started with tracking my ovulation and stuff because it drives me crazy and feels like I'm trying a bit too hard? But oh well. Here we are 😂 let's hope this month is successful and we can stop tracking and checking our knickers 😂

calimommy · 05/02/2020 17:18

@Twitchett22 yes, very. I'm TTC baby4, although sometimes when the others are driving me bonkers I wonder... ha anyho! I've had 5 pregnancies, 2 losses and 3 babies. I don't want to try for too long though tbh, I think if it doesn't happen this month or next I might just thank my lucky stars for what I have already and move on, because timing the calendar, using OPKs and watching for symptoms is distracting and tiring. I don't want to waste too much of my emotions on it. Also the gap will be big enough between babies that I'll be too settled haha. Mine are 2 yrs apart but this would be 3+ yrs. x

Twitchett22 · 05/02/2020 16:58

@calimommy sounds like we're ovulating at the same time ish! I'm on month 3 of TTC and with my first got pregnant immediately so I haven't been through any of this before. I knew nothing about ovulation and TWW etc first time round, we just stopped using protection and thought it will happen whenever but were very lucky it was straight away. I hate all this planning, I'm trying to relax but now it's in my head I definitely want another baby I just want it to happen now 🙄 think it's a vicious circle!

calimommy · 05/02/2020 16:20

Also TTC, normally get pregnant pretty easily but nothing for 4 months now so I'm vaguely worried I'm broken 🙈😜. Will hopefully ovulate on either the 6th or the 8th -Using OPKs to chart. Weirdly I had a positive OPK earlier on, 2 days after AF finished (checked with two tests so was definitely positive, hence wondering if I'm broken). I'm hoping it was a small blip in my hormones and I'll have a real O tomorrow or Saturday. 🤞

MrsCl19 · 05/02/2020 16:11

Can I jump in! I got my peak opk yesterday am! This is my 4th month ttc #2 my cycles are really long 39/40 days however this one so far is a week longer as I'm on CD31 and only just ovulating. Really hoping this is the month! I've got a scan on Tuesday to check everything as my cycles are so long so I'm secretly hoping they'll tell me I'm pregnant if that's possible

Twitchett22 · 05/02/2020 16:03

Fingers crossed for us all! I think im ovulating this fri but my cycle has ranged from 35-28 days since coming off the pill in Sept. So just gonna DTD every couple of days and hope it's enough. I'm also TTC baby no.2, DD is almost 2 so if I'm honest I'm hoping this month is the month because DTD is exhausting right now 😂

that meant to say 19 months TTC ... i should really proof read haha

Lauren2409 · 05/02/2020 14:21

Hi Ladies ... Hopefully this is the month for me too.
We have been TTC since August 2018 23 month ... However when i work it out properly it hasn't really been that long as my partner works away a lot and he has hardly ever been home at the right time He has been working from home since November so we have actively been trying.

Been using OPKs and i am now 9DPO, feeling very crampy, windy (sorry tmi) and bloated not due AF till the 11th feb .... hopefully this is all positive

xx

SS123456 · 05/02/2020 14:04

Please can I join you 😊🙌🏻. This is my 4th month TTC after coming off the mini pill in October. I am 36 and have a nearly 8 year old son. I am predicted to ovulate on the 14th February so hoping for a valentines baby ❤️🤞🏻

Sadie95 · 05/02/2020 13:59

Hey! Am I okay to join in? 3rd month TTC #2. Last cycle was 36 days but I am very irregular due to endometriosis - I had a positive opk 01/02 so in the TWW x

FairyG · 05/02/2020 13:12

@chloejaym glad to have someone on a similar place. Hoping February is our month! Yeah im not entirely sure my body is back to normal yet either after breastfeeding as I read it can take 6 months or more for hormones to regulate

chloejaym · 05/02/2020 11:11

@FairyG I'm in the same boat as you, not really sure what my ovulation day is as my cycles range from 26-29 days and I've only been off the pill for 3 months so not sure if it's still evening out. Hopefully we all get our BFP in February 🤞🏼☺️

chloejaym · 05/02/2020 11:03

Hey ladies, hoping this month is the one for me too! Thinking of using OPKs if I don't get BFP this month. AF has just finished so the journey starts again! X

FairyG · 04/02/2020 23:50

A little info on me...
37 years old, SO is 40 years old. We are TTC (trying to conceive) our second. Our son is almost 14 months old. I usually had fairly normal periods prior to getting pregnant with my son. I however did not get my period while I breastfeed him. We stopped BFing in December, and I got my first period. Last months cycle was 42 days but AF finally came. Im currently on CD8. I have not been testing or tracking anything other than AF the last 2 months. I was told it can take 6 months or more for hormones to balance out but im hoping It'll quicker. We've been DTD (doing the deed) everyday since CD4 (when AF finished) since we aren't sure when or if I'm even ovulating.

Jessharlow81 · 04/02/2020 00:27

Hi sorry to drop on I had what I think was a period last week it came 4 days early and lasted 7 days on the Tuesday and Wednesday I started spotting on friday I started spotting again after an internal and then I started light bleeding Saturday and Sunday and was still light bleeding this morning it’s all stopped now I have like a lotion type discharge could this be a sign I’m pregnant forgot to mention I took a test Saturday and me and my OH (other half) thought we could see a vvv faint line don’t want to get hopes up any help or advice would be great TIA (thanks in advance)

hopefulhel · 03/02/2020 20:13

@Curbsideprophet could do with all the positivity. I feel like this is the first cycle where I feel we could be in with a shot. When I looked back over the past few months we weren't dtd enough during my fertile window.

CurbsideProphet · 03/02/2020 19:36

@BumbleNova yes I found mine very emotional too. 2nd month trying for 1st baby, so I was gutted.

Hi @hopefulhel Smile I'm trying to get positivity from this thread!
