Ovulation.. lets go again !

@Nam095 I've heard so many good things about it so I thought why not try! 😆 How confusing for your app! Mine decided to change from ovulating 19th to ovulating 21st, but I'm still going with my first reading from opk kits!
Also cat hung up on recent convos! My Ohs best friend and partner have found out they're expecting which was also an accident! I was very envious but so happy for them 😆

@Sip123 It sure is going out the window 🤣 My OH don't care much for romance 😆😆😅

Hello new ladies!!! @

@Nam095 definitely, I think being slightly jealous is a normal thing especially when someone says it was an accident. I often feel annoyed when people say that 😩 don’t worry - completely normal x

Just found out one of my colleagues is pregnant and it was an accident, I’m really happy for her but just makes me feel jealous lol you know what I mean? I’ve only been ttc for 2 months though so it’s still early days for me, just need to be patient

@Nam095 me too first time ttc, looks like a few of us are in the same boat! That’s a great way to take your mind off it and definitely don’t take any tests with you ☺️.

@Sip123 I feel exactly the same! It is difficult.

@chillyfields gosh me too, I keep thinking imagine if it was a positive, I don’t know what I’d do with myself 😂. I hope so 🤞🏻 xx

@nottoosurewhattoput it's so hard isn't it? I thought I'd be so chilled about it all and take the "it'll happen when it happens" approach, but I feel I'm going mad not knowing! Fingers crossed it's fourth time lucky for us both x

Hi ladies, and welcome to those who just joined!!

I agree I find the tww hard and the bfn at the end hit me harder than I thought, I knew how much I want a positive but thought I was prepared or may not happen right away.

We are trying for our first this is our third month trying

@nottoosurewhattoput this is my first time ttc, I have loads of early detection tests as I too am impatient 😂 but I’m going away with my OH on Friday and am coming back Wednesday next week so I’m purposely not going to bring any tests with me so that I don’t feel down for the rest of my time away if it’s BFN and then the earliest I can test I’ll be 13 dpo ☺️

@Sip123 I’m 5 DPO so suspect it’s an ovulation symptom although I don’t get it every month.

🤞🏻 for all of us, out of interest do you all wait until your period is due or do you take early detection tests? I’m so impatient. Also, how many of you are ttc for the first time?

@chillyfields I am also in my fourth TWW and I too have found it more difficult than I thought I would x

Hi ladies, can I join the thread? In the same boat as a lot of you - got my peak LH yesterday and suspect I'll ovulate today (not measuring BBT as I'm too lazy). Looking for support as I head into my fourth TWW. The last cycles have been more stressful than I expected, and it's nice to have support going into it

I think I ovulated on Thursday too 🤞🏽

@nottoosurewhattoput I get really sore boobs after ovulation...
how many dpo are you now?

I think I need to be taking some more vitamins! I definitely have sore boobs today but I think that’s ovulation playing tricks on me, and also thought I could taste a metallic taste but again I think it’s all in my head 😩

@Jemmy94 we have fertility lube.., i do feel like the romance of the decade is deteriorating rapidly though which makes me a bit sad!
@Nam095 I hope you are starting to feel a bit clearer about ovulation ??

@Jemmy94 yeah I’ve been eating healthy for a while so I know that I’m getting extra much needed vitamins from my food 😊 yeah it seems to be in the middle of the wait for me where I get no symptoms 😂 ah I looked at fertility lube too but I wasn’t so sure about it! My app has finally confirmed ovulation today as well I’m 4 dpo today 😁

@Nam095 Same here I try to make sure I have food that is rich in vitamins too 🥰 It is a long wait I always worry when my symptoms kind of disappear too over the 2ww for AF, i try to take my mind off it by researching how I can increase chances for next time, I bought special fertility lube this week as we hadn't tried that yet

@Jemmy94 yeah I take 400mg of folic acid and 10mg of vitamin D, just hope it’s enough to bring me out of deficiency! Fingers crossed for us all, it’s just a such long and agonising wait

@nottoosurewhattoput I will probably only do it until I run out of these tests as it seems to fall same time each month and just continue bbt.
We also tried the fertility lube this time.
I will look up the yoga person you mentioned

@nottoosurewhattoput I agree its nice to be able to talk about it with people in a similar position

@nottoosurewhattoput Love it 😆 I take pregnacare due to there being higher levels in each vitamin which suits me 😊 the minimum drs recommended was for 400mg of folic acid and vitamin d

Also to add, it’s really comforting speaking to other people in the same situation x

@Jemmy94 😂 thanks, I didn’t have a clue what to use! Gosh me too!

@Sip123 definitely, although it can be costly. The CB tests have doubled in price over the last 2 months. I have also read about yoga, there is a lady I follow on IG called yogayinforwomen who specialises in yoga for conception - it’s difficult to know what to do. I am taking folic acid and my partner is taking well man conception tablets and we are using fertility lube.

Would everyone recommending taking pregnacare too?

x

Hi @nottoosurewhattoput i agree I have also found the apps alone can be misleading, I definitely think the tests help too.
I agree there’s not enough awareness it’s all about preventing pregnancy then you want one and realise that isnt reality
Trying to keep positive and optimistic

@nottoosurewhattoput I love the name 🤣 my app (fermometer has been out both times) I'm hoping it gets better over time! It is very exhausting especially when it affects ever aspect of your life ❤

@Nam095 I've only just found out about my vitamin D i agree since being on the vitamins I feel so much better in my health!

@Sip123 I definately make more of an effort to be healthier now than before!
I really wanna try a preconception massage with a holistic therapist its meant to be good for stimulating blood flow! However I'm really protective and tense around my tummy! 😅
The yoga sounds interesting though, I think researching all this stuff helps to mentally prepare you for carrying a baby 😍

Hey everyone, I’m 4 DPO, my 4th month ttc and second month using the clear blue ovulation sticks. If at all helpful to anyone, I found my FLO app had been calculating my ovulation wrong. Thinking of everyone going through this process, it’s tough and not enough people talk about it and how mentally and physically consuming it can be! X
