Ovulation Day Who's With Me?

After thinking I may not ovulate this month with faint tests being 2 days late (unlike me) I finally got my peak late afternoon yesterday, so today is OD :)
Anyone else the same? This is my first month ttc after a mc in May and eptopic in June and we're excited :) be nice if some of you lovely ladies followed along

@Dreamer30 ahh. Ok I think they're pretty similar actually. I'd always get a stronger test in the afternoon. Maybe do another this afternoon and compare the afternoon tests? X

@Dreamer30 try not to worry. Which of those tests is today's tests? Remember HCG doubles every 48hrs so might be best holding on another day if u can and comparing them then. Thinking of you xx

I've tested again and my line is fainter than yesterday :( really praying this sticks. The only constant symptom I've had is cramping! I've also had headaches, sweats and spots lol. I had the tiniest pink tinged cm at 8dpo once when I wiped and guessed this was implantation. The nausea has kicked in for me now and my boobs feel a tiny bit more sensitive but that's it. I've never had a chemical pregnancy before but I'm praying this isn't it :( thought it would be darker today

@tryingforbabyh

Just started a tiny bit of spotting (how my periods usually start) so I think that's me out. 14 cycles in now and this is heart breaking. Didn't have sore boobs this month (first time for ages) so I did have some glimmer of hope. Feeling incredibly low now
So sorry 😞 I hope you get your bfp soon! I can only imagine how you're feeling. It's hard when you want it so much ❤

@calimc83 the first one was from this morning and it's a real squinter lol but I was positive I could see it. The 2nd Is from 3pm 😊 I'm cautiously celebrating after 2 previous losses. Hoping it darkens in the coming days

I have terrible cramps and I know it's too early for any kind of symptom! I feel like I've waited 2 weeks already 😅

It's the longest two weeks!! Too early to even symptom spot (although every month I have loads of "symptoms" and I'm never pregnant lol)

@tryingforababyh seems were roughly the same this month, hopefully a good sign! Lol

@claremc1983 fingers xd for you! It can be such a small window sometimes. I'm exactly the same, don't want to get obsessed like I previously was but it'd hard

@flibbyjibby very big lol I was 100% sure I didn't want any more children until I met my current partner, then I changed my mind, so hopefully she helps out haha!
We're exactly the same, dtd every other day but then xmas hit and didn't get the 3 days in a row so not feeling too positive. Last time was 2 days before od. Can only try to stay hopeful

@Dreamer30

Wow that is a big age gap! DD is almost 11 months. DH and I both have siblings who are 1-2 years older/younger so we wanted the same for our little one. However we are fully prepared that it may not be as easy to conceive this time.

We did SMEP to conceive DD (first cycle) so we have tried it again this time. It being Christmas, we didn’t manage to follow it to the absolute letter 😞 but we would be very very lucky to fall first cycle again.
