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!

13dpo due AF tomorrow. No symptoms other than cramps and backache as per usual.

HaresHoping · 25/02/2021 08:07

Morning everyone!

@WonderCity AF is due tomorrow for you right? Hope the witch doesn't arrive but if she does remember we can have wine!!! And a two week reprieve woo!

@TrixIrl you're totally not out yet at 12DPO! Hang on in there 🤞🏻

@WrongendoftheSTIX are you 14DPO? Could still be early to test, some people don't get their BFP for aaaages after ovulation but I reckon prepare for the worst and hope for the best is a good approach at this point for us all! 🤞🏻

My chart is continuing to troll me. Had another v slight rise in temp and RHR seems to still be stable (though could well drop throughout the day). Noticed more creamy CM as well this morning. My temp usually drops a couple of days before AF so either Femometer was right and I did ovulate later or maybe my temping was wrong. Had no PMS symptoms bar the tiniest cramps that might be in my head so I'm hoping I'm not just late as that will drive me bonkers.

@Trixlrl I'm out too. Had slight BBT temp rose took a test and BFN.

Now just waiting for AF to appear so we go again. I forgot how all consuming TTC is and how horrid the TWW is!

TrixIrl · 25/02/2021 07:22

Hi @WonderCity tested this more, BFN at 12 DPO. Had absolutely convinced myself this was the day!

Boobs have calmed down again and lower back cramping has started so I'd say AF is on the way but hey, we're not out, til we're out!

WonderCity · 25/02/2021 06:55

Morning guys! How’s everyone today? Anyone testing again today? Not sure why I’m asking as we’re all kinda poas mad here. That said I haven’t raided my stash of secret tests this morning. I figured after the very obvious bfn yesterday and the bad cramping I’m getting this morning that af will likely be here tonight or tomorrow. Due tomorrow I think, so watch this space. Feeling a bit grumpy about it.

Thank you ladies 😘😘😘😘

@GCB1234 he is the kindest man in the whole world ❤️

@HaresHoping your OH sounds kind 💞 that’s a really lovely response from him!

HaresHoping · 24/02/2021 18:21

@Lolajames you are way early potentially so hold on! Must be beyond frustrating for you, I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. As @GCB1234 says you are completely allowed to be crazy! 💐

GCB1234 · 24/02/2021 18:20

@TrixIrl yay! Strength in numbers!!

We have just the one bathroom and DP is about getting ready for work when I need my 1st pee so I can’t fiddle about with sticks then, i discreetly pee in a pot and hide it to test once he’s left for work. Yesterday I then left my “sticks box” on the side and went shopping and he calls me while I’m in the supermarket to say, no work today on my way home! I nearly abandoned my trolly to get back before him!!!!

HaresHoping · 24/02/2021 18:18

Don't worry @GCB1234 you are not crazy! It's maddening that's all. If it makes you feel better I offhandedly mentioned to my husband on Saturday that I 'might' do a test in the morning. Did it within hours. Told him later on and he said 'yeah I expected you to last about 25 minutes after you'd said' 😂 I bet your OHs know more than they let on! But it's allowed, TWW is hard. If it's making you feel worse though then stooooop.

@Bee44 I think that's the idea! Lots of ladies have said a rise in RHR was one of their earliest symptoms. But it doesn't happen to all pregnant people and it also does happen to people who aren't pregnant. So not a fail safe but interesting nonetheless!

Another one here hiding sticks from DH, what are we like?? 🙈

GCB1234 · 24/02/2021 18:04

@Lolajames thank you for your crazy gang companionship!! Phew!!!
In fairness to you, your loss last month is both devastating and traumatising so you have a crazy pass... you’re totally allowed!
And I love your hiding your stick antics from DP too. I have a secret drawer and I would actually be horrified if I got exposed!!!

Lolajames · 24/02/2021 17:45

Fellow crazy here too...thanks to everyone also admitting they're going loopy it is actually good to hear!

I have convinced myself I have all the symptoms and yet the tests say no 😫 12dpo according to one app but only 7dpo on another (MMC last month so cycle isn't behaving)....so I'm holding out a little hope/driving myself even crazier 😫😫 AF either due Saturday or Monday...time will tell - meanwhile I'm literally weeing on a million sticks and doing it secretly so I don't have to admit to DP that I'm officially losing the plot....! Happy Wednesday 🙈🙈🙈🙈

GCB1234 · 24/02/2021 16:56

Hey everyone? How’s your days going? Spring is in the air, definitely feel better for that. I do however have to confess I’ve absolutely convinced myself that I feel preggo? My dog when I was a little girl used to have phantoms, I’m like my old dog 🙈 Earlier I reached for something and got a sharp twang in the baby growing area and thought oooohhhh! I wish I knew when my AF is due so that I know how much longer of this torture I have to endure! TWW is not the one for obsessionals like myself 🙈🤣 Would love the self control to leave it a few days before testing again but I know I can’t :-( Please tell me this craziness is normal

Bee44 · 24/02/2021 14:25

@WonderCity I also went for my morning wee and did the same too, a huge BFN. AF is due on Saturday and I'm getting twinges like it's going to start earlier so I think I might be out this month 😕.

@HaresHoping I need to read up properly about BBT and RHR - is it if they rise then that usually means you're pregnant or is there more to it? I've been wearing my smart watch and checking rhr but, trouble is, I don't know what normal is for me! I'm going to wear it more to try and work that out I think.

TrixIrl · 24/02/2021 13:44

Well the raging boobs are here at 11dpo so tempted to test again in the morning.

Also joining the party are nausea, gas and constipation. But of course they could all be as a result of each other!!!

And strangely, my underarms/glands hurt like I've been exercising too much (hahahhahhahha)

HaresHoping · 24/02/2021 13:28

Hey @WonderCity I've given up testing now too unless AF doesn't arrive on Fri. It's so annoying! You're not out yet my love but sometimes it pays to be a slight pessimist 😂 then anything else is a positive.

My charts are confusing me now but I'm prob reading too much into things which are pretty negligible when all's said and done. RHR plateauing and my BBT has gone back up a bit. Will see if it drops down again tomorrow which I would expect before AF.

All symptoms seemed to disappear yesterday bar fatigue which has returned in abundance today. Feel like I can feel the tiniest cramps but prob AF on the way.

Wishing everyone loads of luck for testing! @Arrierttyclock you could def still be way too early with yours hun x

Sorry meant @Jaymar but of course everyone who has their bfp on here.

WonderCity · 24/02/2021 11:11

@xRRx good for you, you enjoy it. It really is an amazing experience which I’m super hoping to repeat - even the birth part!

WonderCity · 24/02/2021 11:10

Morning all. No BFPs today but there’s still time it seems. I tested earlier but only just looked at the test. I really needed a wee at 5am so did the test and went back to bed for a bit. Decided not to look at it. Well it was another glaring bfn. I think I’m 12dpo now. I don’t think I’ll do a test now unless af is late. Probably not my month but there’s always next month!

Jaymar · 24/02/2021 07:26

@Arrierttyclock @GCB1234 Sorry to hear about the BFN’s Sad I think it’s normal to take a while for your cycle to settle after the pill. My AF was 9 days late when I got my coil removed.

@xRRx There’s a November 2021 thread which I’m going to join after the weekend if I’m feeling confident. Hope to see you there too Smile I’m going to stay optimistic and enjoy this pregnancy. No point worrying about the worst because we can’t control it.

xRRx · 24/02/2021 07:23

@Arrierttyclock say you were pregnant, HCG would still be rising to detectable levels, and some people don't get BFP until 14 dpo. Your luteal phase sounds short this cycle, but AF not showing is a good sign so far.

GCB1234 · 24/02/2021 07:15

@Jaymar what wonderful news!!! You wished for more BFP’s and I’m so happy you’re one!

I’m no AF but also a BFN for this morning.

Arrierttyclock · 24/02/2021 06:56

BFN- so wondering if I'm out as that was 10 DPO AF supposed to start yesterday but I don't think that's right. It's my first proper one off the pill so think my cycles abit off!
