Preparing to TTC in 2022

@lj2022 @LucyLoopyLu I get lost on tiktok for hours too 🙈🤣

My other half knows I'm tracking and I've explained what it all means but now we're actively trying I'm going to ask him how much he wants to know. Tbh me initiating it will be enough of a hint its a good time 🤣🤣

@LucyLoopyLu it's a hard one I started Opk tracking quite early on but only the day before ovulation only the last 2 cycles I've done it from earlier to be sure. I've not told my partner as I don't want to stress him and if we don't feel like DTD I don't force him. I tell him it's my good to go week coming up a few days before and sometimes show him my app but he probably sees my OPKs in the bin or the box in my drawer that I always leave open but I don't want to stress him. However some people love to be included in that way. I just feel if it gets to 12 months with nothing then I'll include him but for now I'm still "trying" to relax and not put too much pressure even though we're 6 months in

Haha thanks @lj2022 I'm stepping away from the app!

I haven't mentioned OPK / tracking to my husband, just wondering whether to talk to him about it or whether it's better if he doesn't know - I don't feel like it's stressful for me but could be stressful for him, piling on pressure!

@LucyLoopyLu omg TTC TikTok can loose me in it for hours 😂 I go through weeks of not on it at all then get sucked back in! Hope your OPK journey goes well

@LucyLoopyLu @WingingIt09 Thank you both, I'll keep you posted!

I just did my first OPK! How exciting 🤣

CD10 faint line and the app says low. I also got caught up in TTC tiktok which taught me nothing but wasted about an hour of time when I should have been working

@HeathenPlayingHouse sounds very encouraging! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@Summerbreeze111 oh how good to have someone in the TWW fingers crossed! How long have you been TTC?

@Hjudge56 oh sorry to hear that still keeping fingers crossed for you 🤞

@DesertSnow thanks I had a little last month after ovulation but this seems to be a little more. This is cycle 6 for me so hoping it means my body has finally settled into its norm pattern

@

BFN for me this morning on FRER ladies following a Vvvv faint line yesterday morning

11DPO today so I think I’m out!

@tryingtryinggone are those the one step pregnancy strips? If they are I used them last month didn't even get a hint of a line on mine, so hopefully that's a good thing and means yours are true positives!

I am the same as you, also got my peak today!

Good luck and will be with you in the TWW 😊

I definitely see a faint line @tryingtryinggone ! How many DPO are you?

I've been having a little bit of cramping in my right ovary region, that plus a tiny bit more EWCM today makes me hopeful that it's O time soon! 🤞

@lj2022 fingers crossed for you. I sometimes get spotting around what I assume is ovulation (this is my first month actually tracking it)

So I got my peak today on OPK still not high according to Premom but as dark as mines ever go. Due to ovulate tomorrow so seems right on time with my usual timing. Started bleeding a bit today which is a little unusual for me though but I'm trying to take all new things as a good sign 🤞 anyone else get ovulation bleeding ? Now to enter the dreaded TWW for the 6th time 😩 there's something about this 6th cycle that's making me nervous because I know I'll be heartbroken if it doesn't happen this month

@SarahShorty sorry to hear that hope you get on okay. As hard as it is cycle 4 is still very early but I know all to well that it feels like forever. Hope you get on well

@hjudge hope it's not an evap fingers crossed for you

@tryingtryinggone I may have line eyes but I really feel there's something faint there 🤞🤞

@Hjudge56 its so frustrating isn’t it 🙈 I feel like I’m going crazy and seeing lines that aren’t there.

so I couldn’t help myself and have done 2 more since yesterday morning. Can definitely see squinters but still thinking they’re evap lines. I’ve ordered some new tests that aren’t 2 years out of date so will see what they show when they arrive but that’s not until Saturday so AF will definitely be here by then if she’s coming!

@tryingtryinggone i have just gone back a page and definitely see a faint line on yours! The more I looked at mine the less I could see the line and I’ve actually just looked at the test again randomly and there is nothing on there at all so I definitely think mine was evap!

will of course test the next couple days to see my fate!

Happy belated birthday @Hjudge56 - fingers crossed!

Welcome @ConnieGrey and @catscatscatseverywhere 👋

@Summerbreeze111 looks like a dye stealer so I can’t imagine it’ll get darker than that so good timing! Also definitely no such thing as tmi. My DH hasn’t had stage fright but I don’t tell him when I’m ovulating as I don’t want to add pressure to him or make it seem like we’re just doing it for baby making reasons.

@Hjudge56 fingers crossed for us both as I’m also not feeling positive about my super faint test. Fairly sure mines just an avap. It’s like torture!!

@Summerbreeze111 yes going to test in the morning then see where we’re at! Feeling quite doubtful though to be honest!
