TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

Omgg a heartbeat!! I've been so busy this weekend but had to come back for this amazing news congrats @TheCakeIsALie18

@Hannargh glad you're all covered and have had a lovely weekend away!

@eleveneleven11 thanks for asking about me I'm good been really busy so have been trying to do a bit of self care in between. In my last week of tww its gone so quickly and this cycle feels really different dont know if thats good or bad, but if its bad I'm gonna book a weekend away! Glad to hear you've done all you can and hopefully can just breathe now!

Ohh so everyones finnaly in the tww glas to have you ladies over my side! @Shleepymummy

*I meant to write real, rather than relaxed, but hopefully hearing the heatbeat has helped you too @TheCakeIsALie18

@TheCakeIsALie18 ah that's wonderful you heard the heartbeat! Does it all feel a bit more relaxed now? Hope you're feeling better after your difficult week.

Hooray! @eleveneleven11 and @Shleepymummy - glad you've both caught your peaks! I'm also wondering if we should dtd again today (1DPO) but we are both knackered from walking round, so hopefully 0, -1 and -3 will as sufficient as anything. I think ovulation is 12-36 hours after a peak but can vary.

@Shleepymummy i think ovulation is 24-36 hours after a positive opks so recommended to DTD between 12-48 hours after getting a positive result.
sounds like you've got it all covered too!

@TheCakeIsALie18 ahhhh there is it! amazing, so pleased for you, you must be feeling over the moon 😁❤️ i bet it is the most surreal feeling ever!

@eleveneleven11 congrats on the positive OPK, sounds like you’re all covered.
I got a solid smiley face on digital today and cheap OPk much stronger this morning compared to the last few days of weak nothing. This late afternoon I got a really strong cheap opk, test line the same if not bit darker than control line. We DTD last night and then again tonight. I might do cheap one tomorrow and if still strong probs do it again tomorrow eve.
Once you get positive opk, is ovulation 12 hours later? Or longer? Or hard to say? I can’t remember any of the technical bits from looking it all up with my first baby.

@Hannargh oh i loveeee york, i'm going there next month with my best friend to find her a wedding dress 🥰 hope you have a loveeeely weekend.

my opks was positive this morning, test line is juuuuust about darker than the control line so i'm pretty sure i'll ovulate tomorrow. DTD this morning and will go again tomorrow morning and then kick back and try and relax for the TTW 🤣

@Shleepymummy how are you getting on?

@TheCakeIsALie18 looking forward to hearing from you on your scan!

@Nypie how's the TWW going for you? 😊

Thanks @eleveneleven11 - I'm up in York for the first time in 10 years and having a lovely time. My opk was still high this afternoon (v close to peak) so O may still be tomorrow- I will see what direction my bbt goes in the morning. Either way, base's definitely covered 😅. Hope you get your peak soon!

@TheCakeIsALie18 hope you manage to get some rest this evening and all goes well tomorrow xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 sorry to hear you've had a tough week! hope you can put your feet up tonight and have a really relaxing evening and let yourself get excited for tomorrow 🥰 hopefully the scan will be the pick-me-up that you need right now.

my ov strip was looking a much more promising today. might be in for a nice strong result tomorrow or sunday 😊

@Shleepymummy i dont think my ovulation is coming tomorrow either - not much going on with my opks yet but i haven't tested yet today. got an alarm set for 1pm!

@Hannargh congrats on your peak opk! where are you off to on your weekend away?

@TheCakeIsALie18 only one more sleep until your scan, woop!

xx

Morning ladies. How's everybody doing? I got my peak opk yesterday and a temp dip this morning, so just need to wait for the rise over the next few days to confirm it. DH and I are off for a weekend away, so are looking forward to a little more BD, sightseeing and eating. Even if this isn't our month, it's still so nice to have some time away to be excited about.
How are those opks doing for everyone testing?

How’s every one doing? I’m on day 2 of flashing smiley on digital, cheap opks are still weak. So I don’t think ovulation is coming tomorrow as app says. Plan to baby dance tonight as we haven’t yet and then sat and sun. Hoping to get solid tomorrow maybe. Last time my cheapies were weak when flashing smiley but when I got a solid smiley the cheapies went strong really quickly. You know when you just think: why is it when I start really tracking and looking into it does it start suddenly behaving differently?! It’s like the gods know!

@Shleepymummy I thought I would too I'm not a 50 shades kinda girl but if you can ignore the ridiculous plot it is a great warm up...and at the very least a giggle.
The yoga was also a giggle great to see dp attempting to breath from his womb 😂😂😂

Hope all is well @TheCakeIsALie18

@Nypie haha this is brilliant! I might suggest it to DH. He hates stuff like that 😂😂 The yoga sounds nice, fingers crossed this month was a success!

Another vote for afternoon testing! Happy DTDing all!
I'm 3/4dpo me and dp have been doing fertility yoga on youtube nice bit of bonding!
For anyone wh needs a bit of inspiration watching 365 days helped us 😂😂

@eleveneleven11 well after all that I did an opk test this evening, as I noticed it was going up this afternoon, and I'll probably peak tomorrow. Now my scheduling is slightly thrown out 😅

@Hannargh yeah i don't think there is a right or wrong! i think a 48 hour recharge is a good thing though if it's getting a bit exhausting :)

@eleveneleven11 it's also so hard to tell whether a 48 recharge time is better or whether just to crack on with things in case you miss something. Who can say?!

@Hannargh that's interesting about lh not appearing in urine until later in the day! i didn't know that. the past few months I've done it on usually my second pee of the day somewhere between 9.30-10.30am. this month i've been doing it first thing as i've been going to the office. i might switch it up over the next few days and see!

yes, last month my view was lets cover ALL bases and then we'll know we gave it our best shot haha. but this month i'm definitely feeling more like just focusing on the small window and having the 'what will be will be' attitude!

@Shleepymummy @eleveneleven11 I've been trying out different times over the last few months and my darkest line each time seems to come around 2pm. I'd read for the easy@home ones that it's better to test between 12-6pm as it lh builds up whilst you sleep but doesn't appear in your urine until later in the day, but I suspect it also differs for each person too.

Yeah I think you can dtd every day or just one day and it won't necessarily improve your chances either way - I'll have to take the zen 'what will be will be' attitude and assume as long as it's all go around the right time then something might stick.

@Shleepymummy @Hannargh just laughing to myself about us agreeing on a DTD schedule together hahaha. last month we DTD 8 times and the last 3 or 4 times were on consecutive days and honestly by the last 2 times it was so exhausting. and probably unnecessary as here we are no better off for it hahaha.

i always test in the mornings. in the past few months i've only tested every other day too and have always been lucky enough to catch a rise, but this month i'm testing more as i'm not measuring bbt.

@Hannargh yes using easy home but they seem really weak so far. I’ll keep with it, maybe it’ll get stronger in an day or so. I’ll use my other cheap ones from tomorrow.
good you normally get a ride, hopefully you’ll get a rise soon. I think mine is usually day or 2 of before it’s stronger and then day off it does go dark. I’ll persevere! Good DTD plan, I’ll speak to DH tonight and make a plan…..romantic😂
@eleveneleven11 I like the digital ones, I normally get a day or two of blank, a day or 2 of flashy then a solid. I duno it just feels like a nice steady rise. I’m guna try my other cheap opks tomorrow. Yea that’s an idea, today, Friday night, and Saturday. 4 days really doesn’t seem like that much work and yet when we get round to it, it really is 😂

do you guys ever test in afternoon? Jsut mornings? Digital ones you can only use in morning really as it needs first urine.
