Hey everyone,

Anyone else due AF around the start of July and just about to enter the TWW? I had a chemical last month but got right back to trying so keeping everything crossed for a positive result and a sticky one this time.

Just wondered if anyone wants to join me on the dreaded waiting game. Grin

Hi @SweetDreams92, so sorry to heart about your MMC. Keeping everything crossed for you this month. x

So I'm 2dpo and already struggling with the waiting. Hmm How many dpo are you guys thinking you'll test? I tested early and got a BFP last cycle which ended in a chemical so I'm keen to try to hold off on testing early and just wait until my AF date or even a day or two later if it doesn't show up. I'm already nervous thinking about it!

I can’t @kate123cl as I’m not with my oh 🥺 ah well. I have read some people’s LH stays after ovulation? Random peaks which go onto a bfp. Wishful thinking lol. Buts it’s okay, if this is not my month I have next month or the month after, this forum will be seeing lots of me lol! X

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 19:27

@SweetDreams92 Sorry to hear about your mmcThanks I hope this month is your month! X

HansBanans · 18/06/2020 19:24

@kate123cl thank you x I've never noticed the ov pain so much before so fingers crossed this is the month! Hope these next two weeks go by quickly and we all get our BFPs x

SweetDreams92 · 18/06/2020 18:59

Hi all, I am also due AF around 1st July. OPK test strips, CM and BBT rise suggest that I ovulated yesterday so just starting my TWW. This is my first cycle TTC for first baby after a MMC. Fingers crossed for all of us! x

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 18:58

Hi @HansBanans ! We're exactly the same with timingsSmile pains today and peak this morning (although I think it would've been peak last night had I tested)!

So sorry to hear about your MCThanksx

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 18:57

@Leobaby Lol that happens to me sometimes doesn't let me post pics!Hmm can you dtd tonight/ tomorrow? Might up your chances a little! X

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 18:17

Not letting me post the pictures fgs.

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 18:15

@kate123cl oh it’s definitely complicated and so bloody stressful. I think I ovulated later too. I’ll post the pics up now. Look pretty strong to me though. Gosh, if I did ovulate later than expected then I don’t think I have a very high chance this month! But I will be back lol. X

HansBanans · 18/06/2020 18:06

Hi, hope it’s ok for me to join!

I think I’m due on 3 July! It’s been hard to pinpoint my cycle after coming off the pill last year. We found out we were expecting at the start of January but unfortunately MC at end of January. I think I have a 33-35 day cycle but had a 47 day cycle last month with a shedload of BFNs. We are trying to be quite relaxed about it all so aren’t super trying but aren’t preventing! I think I O’d today based on pains in my hip and a peak OPK yesterday.

Fingers crossed for you all this month! x

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 17:59

@Leobaby You might've ovulated later! I definitely did, I'm CD18 now and usually ovulate around CD12! Do you have any pics of your ovulation strips at the moment to see how dark they are? Some people say that their ovulation strips always show a hint of a line throughout their whole cycle! I also haven't had much ewcm this cycle🤷🏻‍♀️ The female body is complicated isn't it lol x

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 15:59

Hello @Willowfalls this all sounds promising! Good luck, hopefully you get your bfp this month! And I’m not sure about the wine lol, I don’t drink alcohol. But I think it would be best if you didn’t? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 15:57

@kate123cl ooo I think you’ll definitely be covered! Can’t wait to find out your result! And yes definitely I’ve learnt so much lol. Yes I have too! But now I’m think I ovulated later? Or I haven’t ovulated yet?! If that’s the case I’m definitely out. I’m hella confused because I’ve done my temp it’s 37.10 and I done an opk and the LH surge is pretty high? Thing is I don’t get these symptoms when I ovulate, never. So I’m so confused, I’m either going to ovulate later than I thought or, my LH level is taking a while to go back down? I’m stuck. My ewcm has completely stopped. It stopped a couple days ago, is pretty much dry/creamy now. Ugh.

Willowfalls · 18/06/2020 15:30

I hope you ladies don’t mind me joining Smile

I’m due 1st July and had a static smiley & positive OPK yest afternoon (it was flashing in the morning) & then had a really strong positive on the strip about an hour ago.
Have egg white mucus & a cramping pain in my right ovary.

I’m 32 and my husband is 39. It is our first time & we have been DTD every day since sunday & have been using conceive plus & preganacare vitamins.

Not holding out much hope but keeping lots crossed. Reassuring to read your posts & know that lots of us are in the same boat! Xx

Ps. Are you meant to cut out wine with ttc? I am dying for one this evening but don’t want to jeopardise anything!

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 13:55

@Leobaby Yes, we'll be dtd tonight. Got to maximise the chances🙈 We've dtd every day for the past 12 days so I'm hoping I'm covered lol.
It's funny isn't it how we think we know our bodies then we learn so much more whilst ttc!
3 days is still a good chance, I've heard many positive stories! It's funny you should mention the grassiness actually, when I was pregnant with my first back in 2019 that was my first (and only symptom) along with a couple of sharp pains so this could be a good thing for you! I'm only on cycle 1 x

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 12:50

@kate123cl ooo okay that sounds hopeful for today then! Will you be dtd? 🤪 well, I took my copper coil out last year March. We haven’t been actively trying, some months I thought we dtd around ovulation but my cycles were so off and I wasn’t using opks so I think every time I was wrong which is why I haven’t conceived yet. Only these last few months I’ve found out when I ovulate and I was completely off! So this cycle we dtd about 3 days before ov. So tbh I think I’m out this month, but I know there is always a chance. But of course I’m symptom spotting anyway. I’ve just been extremely bloated, cramps and gassy for two days. I don’t normally get this after ov, but maybe I am this month 🤷🏼‍♀️

What cycle are you on? X

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 12:37

Haha I'm exactly the same! @Leobaby I had a flashing smiley yesterday morning and a strong cheap one in the afternoon, had some pains and was REALLY hot yesterday so assumed i peaked in the afternoon/ evening but had a static smiley this morning and a really dark cheap one midday so maybe it's todayConfused I've had some niggly pains but not as bad as usual so I'm waiting for them to worsen lolGrin

What cycle are you on?x

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 12:26

@kate123cl haha that’s always the case. I’m so bad for obsessing, I think I’m crazy sometimes.
But you said you feel like you reached your peak yesterday afternoon? I’m guessing you didn’t test to see? How do you feel today? Any ov symptoms?

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 12:18

@Leobaby Thanks lovely. I'm not temping, first month of TTC, trying not to go overboard and start obsessing but that proved too difficult Grin

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 12:12

@jules5232 I get ovulation symptoms, I get light cramps on my ovulation day, ewcm is a big indicator for me too. I never bloat during my ovulation though, I think I’m about 3dpo and my bloat is insane. 🤔

@VP91x and that’s so annoying! 10 flashing smileys would drive me mad. When I first done it I think I got at least 6 before my peak then the following months it would flash twice and then peak so it’s all weird. But fingers crossed you get your peak today!

@kate123cl that’s a good question lol. Peak means you’re about to ovulate between now or next 48 hours when using the CB digital. Are you temping as well?

kate123cl · 18/06/2020 07:52

Hey guys, sorry not properly caught up yet!

I'm sure I reached my peak yesterday afternoon but didn't test with CB digital until this morning and have a static smiley! When do I start counting DPO?🙈

VP91x · 18/06/2020 07:46

@jules5232 I never used to pay attention to OV symptoms either, but the last couple of cycles I have had a streak of blood in my EWCM a few days before ovulation is meant to happen. I also got ovulation pain last month. It felt like I had a stitch. So interesting!

Hey @Leobaby still waiting for my peak, should be today hopefully. I'm on day 10 of flashing smilies on the CB advanced sticks 🙈

@DawnLaura aw happy birthday to your little one, my daughter is 2.5 so hopefully will have a sibling soon so they grow up relatively close in age.

LSL0708 · 18/06/2020 07:39

Hey @jules5232
I think I get ovulation symptoms too. But it's not the same every month so I'm unsure. I get really bloated around ovulation sometimes, this cycle included! Have also felt nauseous and had abdominal twinges in some cycles. Unsure if it's related or coincidence 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey @Leobaby
I'm 5dpo according to my OPKs. I ovulated a couple of days earlier this cycle than last. Unsure whether I should expect AF a couple of days earlier now too. Will have to see.

It's great that we are all in this together. I'm getting more irrational and impatient during the TWW now that we've been TTC for so long.

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻

jules5232 · 18/06/2020 01:33

@HowFastIsTooFast I never noticed any symptoms before either, until 2 months ago I started using OPKs to see when I was ovulating. After I got it down I realized my nausea and indigestion are happening everytime I ovulate. It's crazy to see how everything is working!

Also, I'm not expert but from what I've seen on my app- spotting can be considered from the month before so the timing of the new cycle starts when the normal Flow arrives. We start upping the BDing the week before I anticipate just to be safe too.

ohbaby3 · 17/06/2020 23:33

Hello I am due af on 2nd July! Trying for my 3rd partners 1st! Not sure on ovulation but I have had EWCM yesterday not as much today! DTD every other day at the moment fingers crossed for us all Smile
