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 ☺️

@Arl93 best of luck to you too! Thank you ❤️ I feel like it’s difficult enough to get a positive, but having only 5 attempts a year, instead of 12, it’s so much harder!

@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?

@Peonies94

Does anyone know if an ultrasound will be able to tell you if you ovulated 2 weeks ago? I am due an ultrasound scan which will be 2 weeks after high peak, I wondered if they’d know? Would be good to have confirmation as I have such irregular cycles!
Looks like we're about the same dpo! Good luck too🤞 not sure about the ultrasound although it would be very interesting if it could tell you! Definitely worth an ask when you go and see what they say
Arl93 · 05/02/2022 11:56

I had some cramping earlier in the week sure too not sure what it was maybe ovulation for me but nothing since. Although I have had a headache too for past few days any little thing and I get my hopes up lol. I can't wait until I can test I'm so impatient 🙄. How's everyone doing today?

@apwilso that’s what I’ve been doing too to make sure I’ve covered all basis! We did miss a few days so more like every 3 days now, but still hopefully covered to some extent! I’ll do this until I know I’ve definitely ovulated and that af is on way/pregnancy positive!

Another day of high on the monitor today! I think j ovulated Wednesday night but I'm still going to test just in case been doing DTD one day miss a day one day miss a day. So I'm hoping I've covered regards. Been doing that for nearly a week. Fingers crossed

I'm feeling run down at the minute got like the weirdest cold feeling through my throat and chest so not sure if I have a viral infection or something but just relaxing for now x

@RosyappleAp yes I think I’ll do the same! My job is quite physical so I may have to tell people sooner! @Arl93 I am 4DPO! Good luck!

I’ve had no pains so far! A slight stomach pain earlier but nothing major! I am trying not to think into it much!

RosyappleA · 05/02/2022 07:57

I can never tell the difference between uterus/ovary pains and my bowels or even ureters like when you hold off going to the loo and then get those shooting pins and needles type pains.
Back at work today and looking forward to being stressed (about something other than tww) and distracted for a change. Have a good weekend ladies x

T4Opal · 05/02/2022 07:21

Yes I’ve got loads of cramping! I know I’m obviously more susceptible to noticing symptoms but I’m sure I don’t usually get this at this point in my cycle!

Butterscotchbaby · 05/02/2022 06:29

I have had a headache every day since Tuesday 😩 and a really light period type pain ! This 2 week wait is so hard isnt it !

RosyappleA · 04/02/2022 23:40

@waffle222 this happened to me in my last pregnancy i thought my period had come a week early as I had cramps and lower back pain identical to period pain if not worse. I even thought it was a light period and carried on not knowing I was pregnant.

waffle222 · 04/02/2022 23:19

Does anyone else experience more cramping and hit ache feeling around this stage? I'm 4DPO and seem to always get this a few day after ovulation. Last pregnancy (surprise one) I was in agony with what I thought was pms pain. But perhaps was implantation pain

Arl93 · 04/02/2022 22:39

[quote Peonies94]@Arl93 welcome👋 Sorry to hear about your time you’ve had! It’s so hard isn’t it! How many DPO are you? Good luck to you too![/quote]
Yeah it's been really tough still so raw but I'm just hoping it was all bad luck and ready to try again 🤞 I think I'm 4dpo going by ap and opks what dpo are you? Thank you! 😊

RosyappleA · 04/02/2022 22:23

@Peonies94 sounds like a good idea. I think I will wait and see who guesses that I am pregnant first before telling everyone. Although, it is annoying that I have gained weight so people are thinking it already at work 😂😫.

Yes! Been ttc for a year, but only had 5 opportunities due to the very long cycles!

@RosyappleA I know what you mean! I had a chemical a few months back and didn’t tell my husband about the positive and it had turned to a chemical before I told him ( I did tell him what had happened a few days after) I was planning to get a few days down the line and then tell him. I’ll probably do the same next time too, wait until AF is a few days late m.I feel like I’d we both talk about it we can get excited together, and feel more upset if it doesn’t go to plan. We also haven’t told anyone we are ttc so would probably not tell anyone else until 12 weeks including family! 🤞

Hi ladies, wondering if I could join in please? Not really sure how it all works as I've never been part of a thread before although read so many whilst ttc! Been ttc #3 since June last year had 3 consecutive mcs, the last ended in an op in December had my first af (since june) 18th jan so glad to think my body has healed and reset itself. Feeling quite positive and hopeful today after finding a thread with others who will be in the ttw the same time as me as the wait is torture 🤣 I'm always symptom spotting and testing early 🙈. lots of baby dust and hopefully bfp this month 🤞

RosyappleA · 04/02/2022 20:35

It is valentines and it is my birthday just before that so imagine the disappointment 😔. I will need to get drunk or something.
@waffle222 sounds like a good idea!
When and if it does ever happen I have decided i will only keep it to myself as I have a fear of it going wrong again.

@waffle222 goodluck! You ovulated the day before me, so we’ll be in this together! I thought the same about Valentine’s Day and irs our 12th cycle, but trying not to get too excited!

@Holly3 that’s exactly how I felt last cycle I had 3 peaks and then stopped testing and took a break. I had a 90 day cycle so I think my body just kept trying to ovulate. It’s best to kind of keep an eye on your own body’s signs, and use OPKs as a confirmation. That way it’s more reliable, especially as I don’t temp! After my peak I carry on DTD but only every 3 days; so I kind of cover every day, but we are still getting a slight break from every other day! We find it exhausting otherwise! I like to do this, so if I do happen to not ovulate given I have such irregular cycles, I’ve bot suddenly totally missed ovulation!
