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 ☺️

@waffle222 ahh exciting! Keep us posted! I’m 6DPO today, I may test tomorrow 😂 no, I should really wait until atleast Wednesday, I’ve heard some get a positive at 8DPO, right? I’m not feeling pregnant at all, I think I’m out! I always spend first half of 2ww thinking I must be pregnant, second half I’m like, nah I can’t be AF on her way! I also am on antibiotics for a chest infection now, hope this doesn’t ruin my chances!!🤦🏻‍♀️ The antibiotics are fine, but the temp and being run down etc!!

Used an Easy@home and wondfo 🙈 BUT I'm sure there vvfl on both and now I'm off to get a frer. I'm probably crazy.... 😂

waffle222 · 07/02/2022 07:40

7 DPO today and already tempted by tests. I think I'm going to pick up FRERs today to use at 9DPO. I've accepted patience is going out the window 😂

@RosyappleA that is really good! I read that implantation can happen between 6 and 9 dpo so until that has happened and then the hormones start to rise it wont show up on any test xx

@Bubs89 I do it alone, we’ve been ttc for a year and every month it’s been negative apart from one CP! I feel if we did it together he’d be even more disappointed (he doesn’t know I test about 10 times each month either😂) I’d surprise him then a few days after I’d found out, once my period has been missed! @RosyappleA that’s good! Once I test once, I turn into a right serial tester!! 😂

@Butterscotchbaby i did too at 7days. Obvs negative and I had no signs. I had to get it out of my system and i now have no urge to test and will wait til AF

apwilso · 06/02/2022 21:46

@Peonies94 I might do Saturday as well!

@Bubs89 I normally do it alone because I want to surprise him but in my last pregnancy (ended In MMC) I'd test whilst he was away and found out and was going to surprise him but couldn't keep it in and said I think there's a line and he didn't react how I thought cos he was in utter shock. But then a couple of days later we did the test together and found out properly which was nice but he has requested a surprise next time 🤣

Bubs89 · 06/02/2022 21:02

Evening ladies, I know it's a weird question but do you all test with your partners together or do you do it alone? I normally test alone but think it would be nice to have someone there to share either the joy or disappointment with. I didnt sleep well last night at all maybe just tiredness or hormones (hopefully) but not sure i'd want to his face looking so disappointed

@apwilso I feel like everything has been a symptom for someone! Not tooo long now and it’ll be out of my misery! I’m hoping to test Saturday at 11DPO so I’m just trying to tell myself that it isn’t too far away!

Ahh 🤞 hope it’s a sign!!

apwilso · 06/02/2022 20:30

@Peonies94 I've heard cold symptoms are a sign as well but it seems everything is.

I've basically spent my weekend asleep! Felt run down and today I've got a smell aversion to dried basil it knocked me sick! I think I'm around 4dpo at this point but few things going on symptom wise so just praying!

@Butterscotchbaby it’s so hard to avoid temptation isn’t it! Usually I cope fine with testing until 9DPO then as soon as day 9, I’m peeing on sticks all day! I am so happy to be only a week away from testing now though! AF is due in a week for me I think, so hopefully be out of misery by then! 5DPO, 6 more days until I hopefully test, as long as I don’t cave!!

Why oh why did i test yesterday!! I was 6dpo and suprise suprise it was nagative!! What is wrong with me !

@Bubs89 there’s 80% chance of your positive showing up at 11 DPO, so it’s quite likely to show. It probably is better to wait but by 9DPO I can’t help myself 😂!

apwilso I have heard that, I’ve been having them a few days and won’t have implanted yet so trying to tell myself it’s just the stress of overthinking everything! I’ve come down with something too, hope that doesn’t affect anything! My temp was super high and flu like symptoms!

Bubs89 · 06/02/2022 08:38

@Peonies94 oh wow I didn't know that could be a sign, I've had weird dreams the last 3 nights, I don't normally dream or at least remember it. Have had abit of cramping. Trying not to read too much into but can't help but feel a little excited. My app says to test on 12dpo ( is that the norm or should I do 11dpo like most seem to). This wait is torture

apwilso · 06/02/2022 08:24

@Peonies94 meeeee! I've been having vivid dreams can be a sign of early pregnancy though as well!

Peonies94 · 06/02/2022 03:07

I’ve been woken up really vivid dreams all generally about the same thing, I think k it’s the stress of the TWW Rather than anything else! Does anyone else have these? I’ve had them previous month but nothing to this extreme! Maybe they’re a little worse as I’m so overwhelmed this month after missing so many months! I’m trying to tell myself it’s not pregnancy related though as way too early! Probably just anxiety of TWW! I’m never an anxious person but ttc is so hard! Hope everyone else is doing okay!

@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!

@Peonies94

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/ I love this, but usually cave and test earlier!😂
Very interesting thank you for that! I usually always cave early 🤣 any little sign and I'm running to poas!
Arl93 · 05/02/2022 19:40

[quote Peonies94]@Arl93 yes! We’ve been ttc for a year but also due to the irregular cycles yes! I’m okay! I am wishing so hard that this one is a BFP, I think due to the fact this is my first cycle since October due to no period I feel a little crazy! I am trying not to symptom spot though! How are you feeling?[/quote]
I hope it is for you 🤞 i can't even imagine what that's like only having a few cycles a year when ttc. Yeah I'd be the same if this is your first cycle since October can imagine the excitement and craziness that comes with it! I'm the same trying not too but any slight little thing and I convince myself this is it🤣🙈. I'm feeling okay always so impatient in the ttw !

I’ve just finished work and had to come home to bed! I am freezing, my body aches and I have a weird sensation in stomach! It’s probably stress related and I’ve driven myself mad!!😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@waffle222 I’ll probably cave at 10 but hoping to do 11Do!

OP posts:
RosyappleA · 05/02/2022 19:25

@waffle222 so tempting isn’t it. I just read this ‘It most commonly occurs 8 to 9 days after conception’ with regards to implantation. It is all i seem to read about clearly. I checked and i had implantation at 9 days the last time. So 10dpo seems like the best time to check well no earlier anyway lol

waffle222 · 05/02/2022 17:21

[quote Peonies94]@Arl93 4DPO today I am! Yes I’ll defo it Ely ask as I do worry I’m not ovulating when I have some 90 day cycles![/quote]
When do you think you will test? I'm 5 DPO and tempted to test at 10dpo 🤞

Fredstheteds · 05/02/2022 15:24

Clear blue said peak after 5 days of highs.... fingers crossed
