Ovulation due 27th January / Period due 10th February

@ronniemipperton 😂 Nice to meet you! 🙂

I’m all upbeat and jokey at the moment, won’t be when AF arrives!!😭xx

@EllisRoses ooh that bodes well, mine turns 1 next week so maybe she’ll start sleeping through soon! I won’t hold my breath though 😆

@Misty84 keeping everything crossed for you, it’s so tough ttc for ages. Great that tests are normal though. I’m 36 too so geriatric eggs solidarity 😂

Hello! Hope it’s ok to join🙋‍♀️
I’ve been TTC for 18 months. Done all the tests at the doctors and everything is normal- which is a relief but also doesn’t explain the time it’s taking!
I’m 36 so I guess it’s just my geriatric eggs 🤪
In the TWW now, I think I will collapse in shock if/when I finally get a BFP!! Have quite low expectations after all this time but there’s always hope isn’t there!!🤞🤞🤞
Wishing best of luck to all you ladies xxx

[quote ronniemipperton]@EllisRoses that’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you. I used bbt to conceive #1, I would be using it again but she’s still not sleeping through (😴) so don’t think it would be accurate enough for me this time around.[/quote]
Oh that's tough! Mine wasn't a great sleeper, he's 18 months now though and has slept 7.30-8am for the past 5 months! Don't lose hope

@EllisRoses that’s exciting! Fingers crossed for you. I used bbt to conceive #1, I would be using it again but she’s still not sleeping through (😴) so don’t think it would be accurate enough for me this time around.

Thanks all! I have some cheapie pregnancy tests but after years of ttc #1 I know they won’t show anything for me before 11/12 dpo. I probably will still cave and test early though 🙈 I have one FRER but they’re expensive so don’t want to waste that one, but might do it at 10dpo if I can’t hold out.

How's everyone doing? My temp has continued to rise and I can't stop comparing it to my last cycle tracking which is when I fell pregnant. So far it's following the same track and I have to keep reminding myself all it's confirmed is ovulation not pregnancy. I'm getting so ahead of myself

Welcome @ronniemipperton

It’s hard not to become fixated 🤣 I have tests in as some came with my ovulation strips, only cheap ones though. I would say I’m going to wait to see if AF arrives first but it’s so hard, especially when you see people getting positives at 9/10 dpo! But like you guys have said, doubt it will happen on the first month

@ronniemipperton hey! Welcome!! My tests were the same. Bought them on Monday had one positive and the rest negative so hoping it's was Monday or Tuesday! You can join on the dreaded TWW with us! Xx

Can I hop on? Think today is O day for me, AF due 9th Feb. I’m using cheapie ov sticks - haven’t had a definite positive but the line was pretty dark yesterday and is lighter today so I think I just missed my peak. I have an almost 1 year old, really hoping for a small gap for #2 though it took me years to conceive the first one so not expecting it to happen straight away. Doing everything I can though!

@cooper96 same! I've actually surprised myself at how incredibly inpatient and obsessive I've become. Every bloody twinge or feeling I'm like ohhhh could be?!🤣 I haven't bought any preg tests yet as I know I'd prob be testing today if I did🤣 I've told myself I will wait until I'm late and really going to try and hold out until the 12th feb so I won't order any until 9th to deliver in time. I can firmly say this prob won't happen though 🤣🤣🤣 how about you? X

@cooper96 it's so hard isn't it! I'm pretty sure that this won't be my month this month. Maybe I'm telling myself that to protect myself! Think I'm 3DPO possibly 4? Given up DTD now!

@cooper96 I actually have no idea when I ovulated now because I've read so much different stuff on google! I've given up DTD now for this cycle! Just hoping we've done enough to be in with some chance. It's exhausting this baby making malarkey! Did you test again, anything positive yet? X

Just seen that you’ve got ovulation test strips now so you’ll find it easier to pinpoint. The apps were all wrongly estimating that I ovulate around day 17/18, so I’m glad I bought some x

Thankyou! Yes same here actually as I was cramping Monday evening. Mine can vary sometimes too, October’s was 37 days so not sure what happened there 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ahh I know! Seems ages off! Last year I was trying to avoid ovulation to not get pregnant, oh how times change haha. Fingers crossed it doesn’t take us all too long anyway 🤞🏻X

@SL566 welcome! Good to have others on a similar cycle! I got my peak Monday morning too! Then nothing on the tests after that?! I think ovulation was Monday night/ tues but who knows. Predicted AF on 11th but my cycles vary between 26-27 days. Now it's the dreaded TWW😫 xx

Hi

I hope you don’t mind me jumping on the post I have similar dates. First month ttc, ovulated yesterday I’m guessing since I got my peak on Monday morning. I’m using easy home ovulation strips and pre mom app to track. My cycle is usually 31 days so af due 11th feb. Hope yous are all ok?

@EllisRoses oh I need a new thermometer so I might actually get that! I'll wait after this cycle and then see. I don't know why I keep gearing myself for it to work first time. Wishful thinking I guess 🤣

@cooper96 hahaha I thought you might! You have in like me 🤣🤣 what CD are you on again? Yeah defo keep testing maybe do another one at like 2/3pm. They say to try and hold your urine for as long as possible I think rather than drinking water and going as it can dilute the levels etc I literally only got one positive result which was my first test. Since then nothing! Pretty sure ovulation has been and gone for me now. Now it's the two week wait 😫😫😫😫
