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

Hi ladies!

Anyone else ovulated today? I'm pretty sure I did after a peak OPK yesterday and now starting the dreaded TWW... my first as we're on cycle 1. I'm CD16 with a generally 30 day cycle.

Would love some company as I inevitably drive myself absolutely loco over the next fortnight 😂

Any early symptoms I can look out for to keep me occupied?!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi ladies,

Can I join?

First month TTC baby#1 after unexpected pregnancy and MMC early jan. Invested in some clear blue ovulation sticks and surprisingly got a static smiley yesterday after just one day of flashing! Also a lot earlier than usual for me (CD 15 and I think I usually ovulate around CD 20-25) so think the MMC has changed my cycle! I've heard you're often more fertile post pregnancy?

Feeling positive so hoping we get lucky! DDT last night and this morning and will go again tonight 🥳

Feel like the next 2 weeks will be a struggle so nice to have some support 😘

Ooh thank you @cat8986 I'll have a read! Well pomegranate juice is delish so I don't mind having an excuse to drink it haha ☺️ yeah it is a bit scary all this! I've been looking forward to it for a long time but now a part of me is like "what are you doing you lunatic, what about all the vodka and dancing" (I'm 34 for context and haven't been to a club in years 😂)

Yep I'm taking higher dose folic acid as my mum's got severe spina bifida (doesn't tend to be inherited but good just as a precaution). Also on the vitamin D too.

Hi @sasbiscuit! Still in the game then. Do you usually ovulate around now? I know it can fluctuate month to month can't it. I've had a spike today but a dip yesterday so will have to wait and see if I get a cover line on my app.

Are you ladies using any apps to track stuff?

I thought I ovulated yesterday but my temp has stayed the same today, so guessing it's not quite there yet! I'm currently CD12.

Take a look at this article, it explains it all really well -

www.ohbabynutrition.com/blog/pineapple-for-conception-brazil-nuts-for-implantation

A few ladies have mentioned about eating pineapple core after ovulation, instead of before, but I’m doing both just in case. I don’t know what the pomegranate juice does in all honesty! But again, I’ve read it from a few ladies on here and after all the threads I’ve read, these ladies really are the experts I think!

We’re trying for our first too 🥰 all a bit scary isn’t it! Actually making that decision and delving into the world of TTC. Currently cycle 4 for me. The first couple of months I was really disappointed as I thought it would just happen. But now, understanding it can be a marathon, not a sprint, and just relax into it!

Are you taking folic acid and vitamin D too?

Hey @cat8986! Thanks for keeping me company. Omg those are some amazing tips, I need to go and purchase several pineapples 😂 fingers crossed it does the trick for you. Are you TTC your first? This is our first ever cycle so all a bit new to me!

I’ll jump on board! I got my peak today so ovulating tomorrow which will be cycle day 14 for me. First time I’ve got a bang on CD14 ovulation! Text book right there!

Feeling good this month. I’ve started drinking pomegranate juice, eating pineapple core and Brazil nuts. I read it all helps with a cushy implantation, so thought I’d give it a go!

DTD tonight and tomorrow which should cover the window, but agree doing it the day after ovulation is definitely worth a shot too!

Also does anyone know whether it's worth DTD the day after ovulation? We were too shattered today but if we have a bit more energy tomorrow might give it a go...!
