Ovulation day & TWW

235 replies

Peonies94 · 31/01/2022 14:00

Anyone ovulating yesterday/today/tomorrow want to join! I haven’t had a period for 4 months and feel so glad that I can ‘try’ again! I’m driving myself mad and it’s not even ovulation day for me yet (I think it’s tomorrow) based on having a positive OPK yesterday evening and not in the morning! So if anyone who wants to join to get through the TWW ☺️

Ah @Peonies94 sending love! Although I bet you're glad your cycle is more normal this month? I'm not sure on Luteal phase it's always confused me. I did a FRER this morning and can't see anything I'm so confused going to stop even thinking of it, enjoy our anniversary weekend we are super busy with the kids too so not going to test until Monday Atleast. Xx

When working out luteal phase is it from day after ovulation to day before AF? So the number of day i between those? I feel AF is coming tomorrow which could mean mine is only 9 days! It’s usually 11!

@Greenwhale sorry to hear for you too! I was the same this month!

@RosyappleA - spotting for me started too, never usually have it, so my body playing tricks on me!! Only good thing for me is, it’s looking like my cycle is 30 days ish this month, so fingers crossed for another normal length cycle next month and not a 90 day one!!

*This late

Dontbeaneejit · 10/02/2022 17:12

I caved last night and tested bfn. It was silly anyway as way too early only dpo 6 or 7. Thing is I don't even know if that was ovulation and now I'm getting loads of clear watery cm which could actually be ovulation. My cycles are so long it's impossible to tell. Aargh. I'm on cd27 today. Can you ovulate this week? I'm also getting some light cramps and back ache etc. Driving myself mad wondering!

RosyappleA · 10/02/2022 15:50

Another one here spotting has started making AF 3 days early which is really unusual for me. Maybe the stress of this ttc is to blame. DD spilt her drink today and it made me cry. Very unlike me. I am gonna relax next month as this cold has knocked me over completely I can’t even imagine dtd atm. I will have to just book lots of extra shifts at work instead to keep myself busy nothing else seems to work!

Butterscotchbaby · 10/02/2022 15:45

I'm so sorry to the ones who have had AF :( its shit isn't it! My anxiety is so high! I really cant think that my feint lines are just evap lines and the easy at home tests are notorious for giving false positives! i bought some Clear blue Digital like you said but i just daren't do it! I still am in theory 11 DPO so i might just leave it until Monday when AF is due and then see :/ its such a rollercoaster of emotions isn't it!

Greenwhale · 10/02/2022 09:07

@Peonies94 I'm with you today. 10dpo a BFN and AF arrived, feeling down. Had over the last few days really convinced myself it would be our month. Also wasted my test this morning with FMU as when I wiped afterwards I was already bleeding so should have just waited! Hopefully we both have more success with our next cycles 🤞

[quote Peonies94]@Annabelle0852 my DH doesn’t get it either, even though he desperately wants one too, he just doesn’t feel the same, if that makes sense! He’s much more laid back about the whole thing! It’s so hard isn’t it! I’m sorry your feeling like this! I took another test today and BFN! I Just feel deflated as we DTD as much as we humanly could last cycle, and now it’s just wait for AF and onto the next cycle! TTC just sucks the life out of you as well doesn’t it!!

Agree with friends! A close friend did have issues but other friends had children who weren’t planned or in very new relationships![/quote]
So sorry to hear how you are feeling. I can't even imagine and i need to be grateful I've been so lucky in that way in my life. It'll happen for you, I'm glad you've got things started with the scans etc. I really hope you'll get a BFP before then though.

I tested early this morning, frer was negative :( I don't tundertabd though, there was a vvvf but real line yesterday and especially in the Lloyd's one too so I really thought it would be BFP today. I'm trying to accept it hasn't happened and just focus on a nice valentines weekend we have ahead of us.

@Peonies94 I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I feel the exact same. Started trying Xmas 2020 and now Feb with BFN.

OH said to me "I don't get it, everyone else gets pregnant first month or one time by accident [our friends]. Are we just biologically incompatible?"

I know that it was typical man putting foot in mouth without thinking but god it was like a punch in the gut.

Why can't we be one or the lucky ones up the duff quick ey?!

@RosyappleA thank you for responding! Sorry, I just felt really emotional seeing my test then! I just never knew Id feel like like this about it! I just hope my next cycles will be short now, so i can get some more chances! Yes I have read about things people have taken and I am also hoping my gp will offer clomid which helps ovulation! Ahh thank you! That’s so kind of you! I really appreciate it! We haven’t told a single person about our journey and the support here is so nice! Thank you again! I already feel in a slightly better place! Thank you again! I wish you all the best luck too!!

@Peonies94 honestly my heart breaks reading your post. You will have a baby in your arms soon, now you also have got the ball rolling with regards to scans etc it is gonna happen. There are pcos treatments people on here with pcos with multiple kids and even if you need extra help with fertility it will work for you. I really hope you get a surprise bfp as youve tested early and the cramps can be implantation. Either way youre heading the right way closer to a bfp. It is so so so hard not to be disheartened but it is very likely to happen for you one way or another and it won’t take too long.
At least your not wasting too much more time now. Have you read about supplements on here for helping ovulation? I’m sure you probably have but I know people have tried stuff thats worked with regards to ovulating more frequently. Also, you sound like a total sweetheart we need more people like you to have kids on this planet so don’t give up. Enjoy your dinner with your friend. Plan more dinners holidays etc whilst you still can. Lots of tlc x

Dontbeaneejit · 09/02/2022 20:31

Are you late OP? what day is this for you? Maybe you've tested early?

I tested again this evening and washed my frer hoping to see a line, obviously not?! I’m just so upset about it! 12th month I really wanted it to work this month! I had the FW off work too so we managed to DTD a lot more with less pressure! Why isn’t it happening! I just hate the emotional rollercoaster! I really thought this month was the one! Feeing disheartened but need to try and pull myself together await AF and start the process all over again!

Congratulations to everyone with BFP!

Literally had three days of solid heartburn last week. This week it's dizziness. So hard not to put all my hope on these random symptoms that could be anything. Last week was definitely not pregnancy ha way too soon

T4Opal · 09/02/2022 19:50

I’ve ordered a frer from Amazon and it comes tomorrow, however it’s not going to be here in time for first wee. Would you use it anyway or wait for the next day? My period is due on Wednesday

Arl93 · 09/02/2022 19:06

Congrats on the bfp's! Sorry I'm not sure how to tag anyone, I'm new to this lol! How is everyone? I tested today and bfn of course! Still a little hopeful in the back of my mind but realistically think I'm out as usually by now in previous pregnancys my boobs have been killing but nothing so far 😩. Been super tired but I'm always tired lol! Hope everyone is well!

Ejk1990 · 09/02/2022 18:30

Anyone have awful heartburn and fatigue. I'm only 6DPO, so I know its not pregnancy but I can hope 🤣

waffle222 · 09/02/2022 14:16

I used a Lloyd's test and ic and got a vvfl. I don't want to totally get my hopes up. I'll test tomorrow with a FRER and see. I'll be 10dpo then so should see something clearer. I feel extremely positive tho! 🙏

How's everyone else doing? Who's testing when? Any symptoms? I'm still crampy, have been for couple days now.

Dontbeaneejit · 09/02/2022 12:33

Ahh woohoo! Congrats!

It's so hard not to test! I'm trying to hold off till Friday at least but even then it's probably too soon. It's all about keeping distracted!

apwilso · 09/02/2022 12:29

@Butterscotchbaby and @waffle222 congratulations 🤍🤍

Annabelle0852 · 09/02/2022 11:44
