Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

My skin has just broken out! I haven’t had a breakout like this for such a long time!

Tbh.. I’m just wanting anything to be a sign but is breakouts one? 😂🙈

@Butterfly134 I think it's only natural for us to become obsessive. I did that last cycle and I'm trying not to this one but can still feel myself looking for symptoms. TWW are the worst.

Thanks ladies. Looking forward to getting through this tww will the you all. I spent my first cycle obsessing over every symptom, this cycle I’m trying to take a more relaxed approach.

@Gab101 have you noticed any symptoms yet? The only thing I’ve been feeling is bloated Confused

@tiff94
That's even funnier because I worked in Bowen/Collinsville for a while and used to go to mackay for long weekends like Easter, had the best burger I've ever had there! Can't remember the name of the place though. Small world 🥰

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m currently on cycle #2 of ttc baby number 1. I think I’m 6 dpo as I got my peak reading on a clearblue OPK 11.07 but not sure if I ovulated on the Saturday or the Sunday Confused

Let's distract ourselves for 2 minutes - where is everyone from?! 😍

Jemmy94 · 17/07/2020 09:09

@HowFastIsTooFast My AF is due same time as you 🙈 Like yourself we've been freestyling for 12 months with just an app 🤣

This is my first time dipping into OPKs its so confusing 🤣

Rjbp20 · 17/07/2020 09:05

@Gab101 love that attitude 🙌🏽 Here’s to seeing all the BFPs ❤️

@Tiff94 Same here would love to see any xx

Jemmy94 · 17/07/2020 08:56

I probably might have done but we dtd on those days anyway and before so I might have caught it? My temp on Wednesday was 37.5 and yesterday it was 37.6. These were taken at lunch time though. It could have been before Wednesday as I was getting palpitations and cramps on Monday and Tuesday 🤷‍♀️ I've got a long wait for AF now 😩

@Jemmy94 if I don't conceive this month I think I will start using the opks the day AF finishes to catch my surge next month.

@Jemmy94 if you got negative I would say you ovulated yesterday after Wednesday positive. I think you missed your peak like i did. When did you check your temp if it went up then you definitely have ovulated, maybe it was Wednesday but stead of yesterday ?

OP posts:
Jemmy94 · 17/07/2020 08:46

@Tiff94 I'm so confused with my ovulation 😅 I've had 2 negative opks since Wednesday, but I'm feeling so ill at the moment, i have constant fatigue, high temp yesterday, heart palpitations on Sunday day and Monday and mild crsmpinh so I think i may have ovulate early. Going to keep testing and see what my opks say

@HowFastIsTooFast your welcome to join us I think @Jemmy94 ovulated yesterday/today so your not alone in your dates. I was like you and said we'd go freestyle and was convinced it worked 1st month round so was DH and it didn't happen moment AF arrived I ended up getting some OPKs to try. It's hard once your mind is set on baby mode that's for sure

OP posts:
HowFastIsTooFast · 17/07/2020 08:30

Hi Ladies, I'm a little outside your dates, predicted ovulation date today and AF due 31st.

This is 2nd cycle for baby #1. We're still easing ourselves into the idea of taking this enormous leap so no OPK or BBT just at the moment, I'm just using a period tracking app and no contraception, going freestyle, if you will Grin

Last month I was convinced of course that the first time not using contraception would be the one, and this month I'm convinced it won't happen, so let's see!

@Gab101 of course it's fine to post our BFP on here if everyone else is okay with that. I would love to read who does get them each month and love to sort anyone who doesn't. It's a 1 in 4 chance every month for us so fingers crossed 🤞 we see double lines... I I

I keep ready there isn't much difference in symptoms and apparently most people experience nothing so only time will tell for us.

OP posts:
Gab101 · 17/07/2020 07:58

It's also going to be my second AF since coming off the mirena IUD after 18 months so I don't have a clue what the differences are between PMS and symptoms! 😂😫

Gab101 · 17/07/2020 07:57

@tiff94

To be honest, I'd love to say I won't test everyday but who knows. 8DPO will be Sunday! So I'll try then and of course let you all know, are we ok to post BFP on here if we get them? I know some places are sensitive! ♥️😌

I've had really really bad boosting also, and I've been ravenous but nothing has seemed appealing so I've just gone for my usual meals which I have enjoyed - no aversions just not interested in most food although very hungry!

@lastbany I've been feeling bloated last 2days too but I had this last month as well so not looking into much.
