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

332 replies

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!

Congratulations @HaresHoping I can see the pink line in the first pic!

Jaymar · 27/02/2021 10:09

@HaresHoping I’m good thanks, cautiously happy, if that’s a thing. Look forward to seeing your test result tomorrow.

Thank you @Jaymar 🥰 might try a digital next week as it's still so faint. How are you getting on?

Ahh really @mrssunshinexxx I didn't realise it had to be central 🙈 is that something to look out for? Going to get some more and do another test in the morning. Feeling a bit nauseous and cramps from yesterday have disappeared, still no sign of AF so will see how today goes. Are you doing to do another do you think? X

Hey @HaresHoping thank you!
I don't want to be negative as I would LOVE a buddy to join me but the line doesn't look v central o don't think I've ever seen the positive line that near to the edge ?? Can you do another one ? X

Jaymar · 27/02/2021 09:10

@HaresHoping @mrssunshinexxx I see both lines!! How exciting! Fingers crossed for both of you. Do you think you’ll try a digital next?

Sorry last one - the line reader on Fertility Friend app is a godsend! It shows it up a lot more clearly. The line is pink in real life.

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

Some more pics that I've inverted... can anyone see?! The camera really isn't picking it up very well. It's SO faint

Congrats @mrssunshinexxx! That looks good to me though I'm a newbie 😂

I would like some line eyes please ladies... no AF yesterday so did an FRER this morning. I'm 16DPO so was hoping if I was pregnant it would be stronger by now, but my Femometer app did move my O day to 14th Feb which would put me at 13DPO... the camera isn't picking up the line well at all but it's pink in real life.

Any helpful words of wisdom very welcome 😂 xxx

Morning ladies do you think this is strong enough for 12dpo ? It came up within the time frame ARGH

Bee44 · 26/02/2021 20:12

Hi guys, I've not posted on this thread for a while! Had to hide my IC's in a kitchen cupboard, realised that if I knew they were upstairs in a morning I'd be tempted to test 😂 AF due tomorrow and I've had nothing to suggest it's arriving yet, or anything to suggest I'm pregnant either!

What's everyone's usual luteal phase length? My January cycle was 23days (no idea on ovulation day), this month I ovulated (I think) on the 13th which would make a 14day luteal phase if AF arrives tomorrow. Just wondered if this is ever much longer for some people? I read 14days is the average 🤔.

Aw sorry to hear @WrongendoftheSTIX 😘 sending a big hug your way. Really good that you're on it with BBT! Look after yourself tonight and do something nice just for you xxx

WrongendoftheSTIX · 26/02/2021 19:48

AF arrived as expected. At least I'm getting to grips with BBT charts again.

@mrssunshinexxx don't panic! It's different for everyone and not having it doesn't mean you're not pregnant. But having lots can be a symptom for some people ☺️

OP posts:

xRRx · 26/02/2021 18:54

*occasional CM

xRRx · 26/02/2021 18:52

@WonderCity i thought it's actually really good reference for anyone testing to know what an IC and FR can look like at 11dpo.

I'm feeling OK. Not really bad symptoms apart from slightly sore boobs and occasional but if CM. I'm trying to look after my diet and praying it will all be a healthy and happy experience.

I think from one serial POAS to another, stop testing!! Don't be disheartened, of course it's not over till AF visits but be positive and look forward to your next cycle! 💕

mrssunshinexxx · 26/02/2021 18:51

Oh god I have precisely NO cm @HaresHoping

HaresHoping · 26/02/2021 18:38

That is super exciting @xRRx 😍 I'm so chuffed for you!

@WonderCity I have heard lots of CM is a very good sign you know... keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.

@TrixIrl enjoy the wine but I agree with @WonderCity - step away!!! No more testing for you! 😂 at least until the morning...

Hey @mrssunshinexxx lovely to have you with us 👋🏻

WonderCity · 26/02/2021 18:38

@xRRx my word, you weren’t kidding. That’s super organised. I’m loving it. I remember being reassured by the line progression. How are you feeling?

My cramps have petered out over the last few hours. Still feel unusual in that area, and sensitive like I need to pee but not desperate or anything. I’m wishing the evening away so af can come tomo. I caved and used my FRER. Bfn.

mrssunshinexxx · 26/02/2021 15:39

Eek @xRRx that's exciting !

xRRx · 26/02/2021 15:29

@WonderCity here it is, made it organised!

Jaymar · 26/02/2021 15:10

I’d have done it too if it meant I could have wine

WonderCity · 26/02/2021 13:48

We need to stage an intervention! @TrixIrl step away from the tests!

TrixIrl · 26/02/2021 12:53

So less than two hours after saying I'm not testing, I'm POAS 🙈 BFN on FRER as predicted but just had to do it as DH suggested wine tonight and I couldn't not check then!

Right, I'm not testing again (again!)

WonderCity · 26/02/2021 12:21

@WrongendoftheSTIX I know the feeling. I wish af would hurry up. I normally start in the morning so I’m guessing it’ll be tomorrow now.

@mrssunshinexxx I think my hope has diminished every day passed o and now with the cramping that’s constant. Only new thing today is a bit more cm. I keep thinking it’s my period but nothing there at all.
Hey @xRRx where have you been! I’d like to see the progression pic if you want to share.
@TrixIrl I’m agreed that giving up (in a way) takes the stress out of it. Or maybe it’s anxiety. Either way I’m feeing less of it today. Of by some miracle af doesn’t show tomorrow I think I’d test maybe Monday? I have a FRER but sorta put off using it as I’ve had so many bfn. My last pregnancy I had my bfp on 11dpo so this would be different for me.

TrixIrl · 26/02/2021 10:49

Morning everyone,

No news here but PMS type cramps and back pain in full swing so that's put me off testing.

AF is due Sunday so would like to get to at least then/Monday.

To be honest, having resigned myself to it not being my month, the stress has much relieved :)

Hope everyone is doing well x
