TWW starts... ovulation day today! Anyone else?

Hi @HaresHoping totally symptom free (quite relieved about that tbh! I don't want to get my hopes up too much) How about you?
I am due my AF on 26th. My cycle tends to be 26-27days. It doesn't usually vary too much 🤞

[quote HaresHoping]@Bee44 I'm sure I've felt really tired after ovulation before! Did you find anything out?[/quote]

@HaresHoping no I didn't find much out other than tiredness is literally a sign of anything and everything 🙄 common post ovulation, post implantation, post everything really which doesn't help in the slightest 😂 had terrible heartburn today too but probably from laying down so much (from sleeping!)

Can I jump aboard please? I'm TTC #2 but DD is 8 so I need a complete refresher course. Now we are actively giving it a last shot instead of 'not preventing', I remember how much hate this waiting time.

I got peak of Clear Blue OPK on the 11th so now 3/4 days post ovulation, depending on how quickly that happened.
I've ordered a thermometer to track BBT (not expecting to get a BFP this month took blooming years with DD) next month. We've both been eating walnuts, almonds and Brazil nuts. Sounds like I need to add pomegranate juice and pineapple to my shopping list too 😂

@Lolajames no help with your question but I had been looking into the natural cycles kits, would you recommend them?

As for how I'm feeling, I'm super tired! I had a nap yesterday afternoon for a few hours then fell asleep on the sofa later on which neither are things I do. Just sat down to start some work and I'm really considering another nap 😂 of course it could be down to anything but I'm the queen of symptom spotting so I'm currently sat googling post ovulation tiredness to see if it's a thing (procrastination at its best!). Anyone else feeling tired?

Hey ladies happy Monday!

I think I'm now 3DPO....got my static smiley Thursday and DTD lots but my natural cycles app is unsure if I've ovulated as although my temp raised a little I don't think it was high enough for the app to tell me I've ovulated. Anyone have experience of this? I'll be so gutted if my body was all set for ovulation and then didn't! Hopefully I did and I just don't get a big temp spike....

How's everyone feeling? X

@xRRx @HaresHoping
I can see we’ve all got similar testing days, 26th/27th....!
anyone else!? 🤞🏻😆

Hi ladies! I’m catching up!

@HaresHoping I’m 34 too ☺️ When we started I was like ‘it needs to happen soon, I’m running out of time’ but the reality is so far from that when you read so many stories on Mumsnet and women having their first babies later. I’ve learned to accept that it’ll happen when it happens and it can’t be forced, so that’s really helped me relax about it.

I’m on folic acid and vitamin D too, which I was taking a year or so before TTC. Have used Flo for years just to track my period, but then I started using OPK when started to TTC and downloaded Premom to help with reading them.

I’m now using Clearblue digital OPK as I was getting sick of holding my wee to test 3 times a day on the IC 🤣 Clearblue is so much more straightforward! Are you using any?

Currently 3dpo today! Still having pineapple and 4 Brazil nuts a day. I finished the pomegranate juice I had so will need to buy more of that. Other than that, eating as healthy as I can, no caffeine and no alcohol. Never thought I could cut out all that, but the fact I’m TTC overrides any desire to eat and drink naughty things, no matter how much I crave a glass of wine every now and again 😆

I won’t be symptom spotting (she says!) it will keeping on eye on things that usually happen in the lead up to me period. I usually have very sore nipples and heavy boobs, and also spot before my period, sometimes upto 7 days before. So if they don’t turn up, I’ll be feeling very optimistic!

Will wait until AF is due before testing, 26th Feb. Pencil it in! 😆

@HaresHoping I believe so, just going by signs though so I might be wrong but they were the exact same last month too. I'm such a symptom spotter 😂 but main ones for me are CM changes, increased libido and feeling a little bit warmer (I'm never warm so temperature changes are always pretty obvious for me). The TWW is killing me already!!

Jumping on this thread too! It's also my first time TTC, 2nd cycle after I came off the pill in January. I'm not using OPK's just yet because I feel I'd get too obsessed with those so I've just been symptom spotting for ovulation which I believe happened on the 13th. I have super short cycles so I hope I got this one right, Google tells me I can test 6 days early from the 25th but I might just hold out for my AF ... we'll see!

@HaresHoping not tried journaling but it sounds like a great idea

Hi everyone, hope you've had a nice weekend. I am trying hard not to symptom spot already. Had headache and nausea last couple of days but I think it was a mild migraine.

@HaresHoping hope your boiler is fixed!

My app is now saying 8 days till pregnancy test. So a week and a day! I can do this! 😂

@HaresHoping I had a lot of cake last night a s a sausage roll this morning so I'll need to make up for this!!

I think the 27th would be the best time for me to test as AF due then. So how about we aim for then, and if we give in on 12 DPO so be it

@HaresHoping
I was munching on walnuts and almonds yesterday without knowing this!
Also I get brocolli and spinach into my dinner at least 4xweek so got that covered 😊

Hey I hope I can join too. I am ttc #1. I had a MMC early November, and so far on cycle 3 trying again.
I think I ovulated on the 11th (peak OPKs 9th and 10th, DTD both days)

So 2 DPO today. And started again with my decaf teas and being a bit more gentle with exercising!

I'm a serial POAS so I am trying not to be that person this time and hope I can hold out till at least 12 DPO- That's when my app suggests taking a test. But we will see!!

Hope the TWW passes quickly for us all 😊
