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 ☺️

Honestly it is so tough when its a struggle for it to happen in the first place and then I think if it ever does happen again I’m gonna be such a nervous wreck thinking if i breathe too hard it’ll go wrong.

@waffle222 my husband had a SA a few weeks back and the only thing that come back low was morphology, not really low though and other results looked pretty good I think!

Your not that ridiculous because I just went and took a test, so that’s the two of us, I didn’t even really look at it because I know it’s negative at 7DPO😂 I just had the urge! Yes same to you! I know, I’m trying to tell myself the same!!

[quote Peonies94]@waffle222 at 8DPO hardly anyone gets a positive anyways, so just keep testing every other day, or every day, and that could well change![/quote]
Thanks. I know I'm being ridiculous but it's very consuming 🙈 We got accidentally pregnant last year after my OH was told he'd unlikely ever concieve due to morphology results. So I know realistically it may take a long time or never happen. But I guess because it happened by accident last year I thought it would happen easily now.

So sorry its been so long for you. I can't imagine. I need to give myself a shake today and be grateful and realistic, it's too early to know anyway. Baby dust to you ✨✨

@waffle222 I can imagine when it’s happened really quickly in the past, you feel really frustrated, I’m sure it’ll happen soon though! Just try and be patient.

I need to tell myself this though- 12 months in (beginning of feb last year we started ttc) and I just feel so empty!

[quote Peonies94]@waffle222 aww no ! How many DPO are you? It’s so disheartening when you want slime thing so badly isn’t it! I’ve been trying to prepare myself for af, I have lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in a long time, and will probably involve a bottle of wine! Do something that makes you happy! Sending love though and good luck![/quote]
I'm only 8/9dpo 🙈 I think probably 8 so I know I shouldn't expect anything but it's driving me crazy. Im so lucky I've always got pregnant easily so last month when I didn't, it kind of knocked me. I know I shouldn't complain. Feeling so impatient right now :( I thought I'd see a little something today.

@Dontbeaneejit yes!!💤 it’s so hard and it’s definitely very forced! There’s no way we can just relax and have sex when we fancy it, as I’d never get pregnant!😂 My cycles are anything from 30 odd but my last cycle was 90! I’ve been ttc for a year now! There’s hope for me though with the fact you have two little ones already!!

Dontbeaneejit · 08/02/2022 12:41

Hi! Tbh I've never got a positive on an opk but I've not really used them consistently as my two DC sort of happened unexpectedly quickly! My last cycle was 54 days. My longest this year was 70 days. I started Metformin last May but I've not noticed much improvement. Tbh it makes me feel so sick I've stayed on a really low dose instead of upping it as I could have. Agreed though. With such long cycles it's so hard. I studied my last pregnancies in depth and reckon I must have ovulated around day 20 so I've sort of aimed for that. Is anyone else fed up of all the sex though? 😂 There's such a thing as too much!

@waffle222 I mean something sorry!

@Annabelle0852 cx that seems good news! Wishing you the best for follow up tests!

Annabelle0852 · 08/02/2022 11:06

Morning ladies. Sorry to hear you're disheartened. What do they always say? "You're not out until AF arrives!!"

OH and I had the results of our initial fertility tests today. All came back normal both sides. This confused me tbh as when I was 20/21 I was told I had PCOS but now my bloods are normal?! Very confused.

Got a follow up call with the GP to talk next steps tomorrow morning. I hope any referrals don't take too long (though I'm not eager to get a wand up my foo again!)

Hope everyone has a good day.

BFN today. Not surprised as so early but yesterday's test had me hopeful. But when I looked at todays FRER before using it, there was a clear indent line so I'm guess the other one from the pack had that too.

Definite shadow line again on Wondfo but I haven't used these before to know if they always look like that or not.

Feel deflated.

@Dontbeaneejit welcome! I’m 7DPO today so not too far behind me! Ahh that’s amazing news! I’m currently having investigations done! Do you manage to use OPKs with irregular cycles? I have been ttc for a year (only had 5cycles in that time) really hoping it happens soon! My cycles can be 33 days or sometimes 90 days! It’s so hard having such irregular cycles! Good luck!

Dontbeaneejit · 07/02/2022 21:35

Can I join? I'm 4 dpo... I think. Have pcos so irregular long cycles but have managed to conceive DC 1and2 quite quickly. TTC no. 3 now. Stopped using contraception in Dec but this is my first proper cycle trying. Been super dizzy today though I don't know if that's a thing. Trying not to symptom spot too much!

T4Opal · 07/02/2022 21:11

It’s far too early to test isn’t it! Period is due next Wednesday ! Argh time is dragging

I also have loads of IC here! I have decided I will not test until atleast 9DPO! I know that’s still early, but it is possible?!

@waffle222 hope it gets darker for you!! @Arl93 oh that’s exactly how I feel!! Start feeling really positive, by 7DPO I’m like ‘I’m out, will this ever happen for me’ etc!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Don’t know what’s wrong with me!!

Arl93 · 07/02/2022 16:31

[quote Peonies94]@Arl93 ahh thank you I really appreciate it! It’s so nice to have support on here! It’s torture isn’t it! I’m a serial tester too, I find it less devastating than af though! I can let myself down gently by testing say 9DPO and thinking ahh it looks negative? It probably is, even though if can change I try and think it won’t, then if it was to ge positive later, then that’s a massive bonus![/quote]
It is nice to have support and be able to speak to others going through the same, I feel like whenever I try to talk to anyone in life I'm just annoying them and going on and on lol. Yeah I'm the same I deffo find it a bit less devastating that just getting af! I was trying to hold out to test the end of this week but I broke and tested this morning and of course bfn 😕. But yes I'm always squinting trying to find the right light to be sure there isn't a second line lol! How are you today?

Arl93 · 07/02/2022 16:25

@waffle222

Well I took a Frer and I swear there a faint line too. All 3 tests I think I can see something. I'll take a FRER in the morning then I'll have to buy more 🙈

I'm not a good influence with testing. I've got BFP always at 8/9dpo, so always Cave and test early.

It's so early, remember you'll unlikely have any symptoms. I just had some achey cramps yesterday so made me question implantation. Really hope I'm not just getting my hopes up

Oh fingers crossed for you 🤞 hoping for a bfp tomorrow morning!
Arl93 · 07/02/2022 16:24

@Annabelle0852

I've been lurking through this thread and thought I'd pop up! 9DPO today and the itch to test was unbearable. Obvs BFN, I don't know why I bothered, but it's impossible to resist!
The urge is impossible to resist 🤣!
Arl93 · 07/02/2022 16:23

Hi how is everyone doing today? Totally relate to the early testing I did today, stupid I know as only 6/7dpo and was obv bfn! I bought a bulk of easy@home pg tests so I wish I could say I'll wait until Friday but I have no self control and will likely test every morning 🤣🙈. I hate the tww always start off feeling hopwful, excited and nervous then half way through feel so defeated like it's not gunna happen.
