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 ☺️

Glad there are so many of us on the TWW together, I ovulated Sunday. I hate symptom spotting but really can’t help it.
I am ttc 2 and basically DD decides if we can try or not. Her sleeping patterns are all over the place she is full of energy never naps etc…
We found the forced sex awful the last two months of trying it just kills the mood. This is tmi but then if all dribbles out as i can’t orgasm I feel certain I won’t get pregnant and that it was just a waste. First time using clearblue this month I didn’t tell him when I ovulated but we just done it when we enjoyed it and for once covered the day before, the day of and the day after ovulation.

Hey can I join please, I’m on CD14 and think I’m due to ovulate on the 2nd or 3rd. This is my 2nd month trying although my husband had covid throughout my Jan fertile window so that was an epic fail. So far we have gone everyday of this week so fingers crossed! Also due to test Valentine’s Day and I saw a cute card “roses are red, violets are blue, inside of me beats 2 hearts for you” which I thought would be a nice announcement. We currently have a 3 year old daughter and moved house December 2021 so that was our cue to start trying! Great to find my people, baby dust all round.

@Bubs89 hello! Yes it’s so lovely to have people to get you through the weeks isn’t it! I think I ovulated this morning (roughly)! Aww no, yes hopefully you’ve covered other days and will be enough! Good luck!

I hope you don't mind me joining, finally found people who are on the same dates/days as me.. I end up feeling like I'm going insane waiting to test. Ttc baby #2 (1st was 14 years ago) feel like I'm completely out of the know. Been tracking for a few months. Had a peak on LH test yesterday evening and levels gradually going back down now. Unfortunately couldn't do the deed today as partner is away for work but hoping that won't matter too much

@apwilso struggling, I’m feeling a little more positive at the moment as just had a period after having not had one in 4 months! I’m currently having some fertility testing done! It’s hard going isn’t it! I feel like we gave it our best shot this month, so I’m hopeful but also think if it’s taken this long, why this time?!

@Peonies94 snap! How you been doing on your journey. I'm at the point of wanting to give up but trying not to!

Hey!

Can I join. I've had 3 "high" readings on my CB monitor on ovulation and currently on day 15! Trying for number one been just over 12 months of trying and one miscarriage. Nice to see new faces at the same point in my cycle

@Holly3 ahh cute! Ahh okay! We’ve been trying the SMEP due to having issues the last year! Goodluck!

@Peonies94 We do whenever we fancy through the month but around ovulation I do every other day. We are TTC #3 we have two girls who are both October babies 🤣 they'll be 2 and 5 in October xx

@Holly3 yes the purple ones! I haven’t tested after my peak this time around! I had my peak Sunday night. Did you test the next day on another monitor or wait for the static to disappear then retest?

A question for everyone. Do you DTD as much as possible around the fertile period, relax and just do it when you fancy, focus on the whole month, or just give it one or two shots a month? Interested in what others do! Also is this your first, 2nd, third and so on baby!☺️

OP posts:
Holly3 · 01/02/2022 15:44

@Peonies94 Yes I definitely think I have longer cycles maybe as last month I had a static smiley then AF arrived a few days later so who knows 🤣🙈 was just confused that im still seeing flashing smiley after the static one! Are you using the purple ones? X

@Holly3 well I haven’t conceived but the first time I used them I had my period 12 days after my peak, and then the next time I had a few peaks in a month, but a really long cycle so could have ‘tried’ to O a few times! And then this is my third time using them as I stopped due to my periods being all over the place!x

[quote Peonies94]@Cookiedough123 think I am in the other thread with you! We may be testing the same day? Obviously I’m testing much earlier! 😬

@Greenwhale ahh it’s torture isn’t it!! I had my positive yesterday around 5pm I think? So I worked out ovulation 36 hours later would be early hours tonight? So I think I technically ovulate tomorrow, but I’m not 100% as I don’t temp!

@Holly3 I use the clear blues too! And I had my static yesterday evening.

It looks like there’s a few of us who ovulated the same day/ day before or after each other! That’s good, we’ll have this two week wait together! Is it sad that I’ve worked out that my ttw (well 13 day wait) will land on Valentine’s Day and although I don’t celebrate valentines, I’d love to tell the DH on that day?

How long have you all been ttc? How do you all feel this month has gone? Did you give it a good go, feel like you could hsve done more etc? We covered day of static yesterday, two days before that and will hopefully cover tonight 🤞![/quote]
How are you getting on with the CB ones? I had my first static smiley and then since it's gone I've tested again (I know you aren't meant too!) but just curious and it's still flashing smiley now is that normal or should it be empty circle if ovulation occurred? Xxx

Annabelle0852 · 01/02/2022 11:37

@Butterscotchbaby the vaccines/boosters have messed with my cycle each time too which is a PITA!

@Greenwhale I know everyone is different... for us and pressure on OH, tracking ovulation with OPK and aiming for 2 BD over high/peak window works best. Otherwise too much pressure on poor OH 😅

I'm due around the 12th... it would be great to have cause for celebration on valentine's day but I know better than to get hopes up!!

Ejk1990 · 01/02/2022 10:55

Got a solid smiley on clearblu this morning and a high reading on LH test aswell. So thinking its today, bit nerve-racking!

Its been 10 years since I've had a period and had my implant out 14/12. Period arrived on the 18th. So looks like I have a 28 day cycle.

We DTD Saturday, yesterday and hopefully tomorrow. But not really expecting a positive this month.

Good luck everyone!

Butterscotchbaby · 01/02/2022 10:26

So this is our second cycle - my last cycle was 50 days ! But i did have the booster in there so im allowing that to be the reason :)

@Annabelle0852 hello! I’m good! Already crazy even though it’s only just O day for me! You know when you get to the point you just can’t do anymore, I hate this part, but also glad to be here after 3 missed months!
@Greenwhale totally agree! We try every other day for the cycle doesn’t always work with my really long cycles though! We find it easier, but it does only take once!

@Butterscotchbaby my periods are also months apart! My last period was October, but then I had another January and seemed to get my peak at like day17 which is supper early for me! 🤞that it’s actually is ovulation!

I didn’t get my positive OPK until late Sunday, so I think today is ovulation, or possibly yesterday? Not too sure!

OP posts:
Butterscotchbaby · 01/02/2022 07:14

Morning :)
I got a positive OPK on Saturday! So i think im maybe 1 or 2 dpo now ! I too have PCOS and my cycles are usually months apart but ive been taking inositol and maca root and have had 2 consecutive periods which for me is incredible! This is our 2nd cycle ttc our first baby 👶 ! I too should be due to test on valentines day !

Greenwhale · 01/02/2022 06:14

Sorry to hear it's taking some of you a year+, I can only imagine how stressful that would be but glad to hear your both have investigations in the pipeline. Fingers crossed this cycle gives your BFPs!
We are on cycle 2 but have only managed to BD once in each cycle, hopefully at least this month it was on the day of the positive OPK. Thinking next month to try every other day for the whole fertile window as that's slightly less pressure than every day for the intense ovulation few days which didn't work this time as I think it's just too much pressure to perform for poor DH.

Annabelle0852 · 31/01/2022 22:10

Hey guys can I join? Over a year TTC #1 with an old PCOS diagnosis from years ago. Had bloods done last cycle and OH just had his swimmers checked and we're waiting on the results of both.

Currently 2dpo I think based on OPKs. How's everyone doing?!

@Cookiedough123 I’m currently having my fertility investigated! I’ve had bloods and have an internal scan in a few weeks! It was suppose to be last week but was cancelled due to covid! Hopefully I’ll find out why they are so irregular and can then look at alternatives!

OP posts:
Cookiedough123 · 31/01/2022 19:36

@Peonies94 a year. I'm sorry it hasn't gone to plan so far for you! Is there anything the Dr's can do about your cycles? That must be really stressful! Got my fingers crossed for you x
