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

Hi everyone,

Currently cycle day 13 after my stupidly long post MMC cycle last month. Hoping for a smoother month this time round which hopefully leads to a little bean or if not a normal cycle!

Good news is I have a flashing smiley today! Don't know how long that will have been the case as I had to get a new ovulation kit but all systems go now 😀 another thing I'm feeling positive about is that I've booked in for some acupuncture to try and regulate my cycles and also see if it can help with headaches as I've been really suffering since my MMC.

Hope you're all doing well - has the symptom spotting started yet?!! X

Hey all, can I join? I'm 7dpo on cycle 6 of ttc baby no.2
I depressed myself by doing an IC knowing full well its too early (also the test was 7 months out of date 😂)
I'm desperate for this to be the month, as it means I'll have had my baby a month before my 30th birthday! I always wanted two children before I was 30

Hi @Amyc94! Welcome! What great about sharing on here is that for me it eases the obsession as it’s shared so hopefully it does the same for you. Unlike you we haven’t tried that hard this month. Not because we haven’t wanted to just life got in the way. But there’s always a chance so I’ll be here for the next couple of weeks symptom spotting with you all

Hey girls, I hope you are all well. Would you mind if I joined in too? I think I ovulated around the same time. Currently 3dpo on our 4th cycle.

When we first started trying, it become a little too overwhelming to be symptom spotting and reading all the threads on here so I stopped and calmed down a for a few months 🙈 but this month I'm obsessing again and just feel positive that we've tried so hard this month so fingers crossed.

Hope you're all doing ok xo

Hey ladies I have 19 of the clear blue 4 day test sticks if anyone interested in buying them cheaper than Amazon msg me xx

Feeling fed up with these opks. Also need to google again about lh surges and timings. It differs a lot. I’ve read that ovulation takes place as soon as you see a dark test. Then it’s between 12 and 36 hours after that the egg is released. Then the egg lives between 12 and 24 hours... it’s a lot of info lol. I’m just not sure if my test needs to be darker than that for ovulation to start. I hope so as no chance of bd tonight as OH is working lates. Probably not until tomorrow night so it’s a slim chance this month. Last time was Saturday night so it’s all a bit not impossible but not our best shot. Oh well, it is what it is.

@HaresHoping I’ll be getting out and about to the park etc for some distraction. I think the weather is changing soon too. This self employed gig is also a bit all consuming so I don’t have much free time. Great news for the tww lol.

Your chart looks promising @HaresHoping keeping everything crossed for you! I am CD 10 so keeping an eye on things now my temp has dropped a little so hopefully ovulation is on its way and we go again ☺️ feel a lot less 'obsessy' this month but I'm sure that won't last

Morning all! Seems like we’re all ovulating around the same time. @HaresHoping those tests look great. Did you find any info on the spotting issue? I think the egg bursting thing sounds about right or do you have endo? Maybe mild? My sister has endo and spots randomly throughout her cycle or not at all. No fun for her. My opks have pretty much stayed pale and I’m supposedly meant to ovulate today. It’s not looking good. I have pcos though so it can be a bit hit and miss with the tests. My body is giving me signs though. Sore boobs, aches, ewcm same as you @Bee44. As always I’m trying not to think about it too much and just enjoy the process but it’s kinda tough. I’ve got so much on at the moment that it should take some of the focus off ttc and hopefully the tww. I’ve just become self employed and we move house in less than 3 weeks. It’s gonna be an interesting month!

How is everyone else doing?

@HaresHoping I'm due to ovulate soon too, not had my peak yet though so might be a couple more days away for me. So last month I had brown spotting in a lot of EWCM and then pink when I wiped for the rest of that day. I assumed this was ovulation for me (13th) but I had aches for a few days after and then thicker EWCM (16/17th) so I think ovulation for me was after the spotting. AF was the 4th March so unless I had a 19 luteal phase I don't think I ovulated on the 13th. I'm using opk's this month so I'm going to see if it happens again how close to peak it is.

@WrongendoftheSTIX we’re on exactly the same cycle day and although I’m not using clear blue I had a dark line on my opk this morning, lighter this evening. I always start testing on cd10 so no idea what it would have been leading up to this. It’ll be interesting to see what the next week of tests are like. I tried temping but with me getting up with my son 3 times a night it just wasn’t working. So no help there. I hope I’m not ovulating early as OH is unwell, the kind of unwell that means no chance of BD.

I have been drinking Pom. Can't have too much as it makes me feel queasy!
@WonderCity after your slightly unusual AF has the rest of you cycle so far been ok?
I it ask as mine was also different this month and CB ov sticks has given me peak today. I'm it on CD10! This is quite a bit earlier than usual. I wonder if the supplements are impacting my cycle...

All this talk of cookies and cheese boards has got my attention. Yummo! Good to hear everyone is gearing up for the next round. I drank a fair amount of Pom last time around and can recommend it just because it’s pretty tasty. I’m not really going anything special this time. Just vitamins. That might change a few months in as I’m feeling more desperate.

@HaresHoping I read somewhere that pomegranate juice helps implantation if you drink it around ovulation 🤔 I'm not sure but it's tasty so I'm giving it a go! I'm the same with food, decide to be healthy and then OH wants cakes and cookies baking so I end up eating those instead. Had my "last" camembert at Christmas and it's since been my comfort food every AF time 😂

Hi everyone.
Wishing you all the best with this upcoming cycle! Looking forward to some more BFPs

I'm currently stalking a due Nov 2021 pregnancy board but still feel comfy over on this one. Also not much to report at the moment apart from super sore boobs.

So will be keeping fingers crossed for you all and look forward to lending my line eyes when needed 🤗

I'm back for cycle #3! AF has just finished after arriving 3 days later than my last cycle (26 days compared to 23 days the month before) and getting my hopes up 😒. AF only lasted 3 days this time and ended quite abruptly so I'm wondering how long this cycle will be, it usually lasts for 5 days with spotting for a few days after so we'll see. I'm going to use OPK's this month, planning on DTD more and I've stocked up on pomegranate juice! Feeling hopeful this month 🤞🏻

Hi all,

CD40 and finally af has arrived. I had almost convinced myself I was pregnant despite my head telling me it's just my cycle after the MMC late Jan. Feeling a mix of being relieved to finally be on a new cycle and sad that mothers day is approaching and I had thought if I was preg again then I wouldn't feel upset by the fact I should be 3 months along as a mummy to be....

Hope you're feeling more positive now af is out the way @HaresHoping 😘😘😘 Here's hoping it's a good month for us all.

Xx
