@ttcttc yeah he does, he just want's to 'see how it goes'. I guess there's no rush perse I just feel like I'm planning by myself a little at the moment. It is after all only cycle1 - maybe I should chill 😳

This sounds familiar😅 i dont think they get it. My oh is a bit like why do you want sex so much all of a suddent, its only takes once surely your already pregnant😅😅😂😂😂
I mean I hope hes right obviously but thats very optimistic!
We had sex the 2 days leading up to hopefully ovulation and the day of- after 3 days in a row we want a break today 😂 its hard work man!

Chip131 · 23/01/2023 20:03

Ahh thank you, they are in my basket on amazon 😅😅

Going to be difficult if he refuses sex x

Do you mind if I join girls?

I'm 32 and DH is 34 this is cycle#1 TTC #1. I'm on cycle day 16, with cycles ~30-32 days.

I feel like I have no one to speak to as DH want's to 'see how things go' and doesn't want me to get too obsessed 🤔. Clearly a man and doesn't respect the fact that there's such a small window 😝.

Tried to 'encourage' DTD this morning and it's like he knew what I was doing and refused to participate😤- not like DH to turn it down 😝

Would be great to have some support buddies!

Refused how? Did you check his pulse 😂

Thank you! No, i tried to avoid that as felt id obssess even more than I already am😂 might be worth getting them though I think! Xxx

Hey Chip , I agree they make me obsess more ! & make me feel like it will definitely be the month if we time it just right !

I started using the easy@home ovulation tests, they work out cheaper in the long run and you can upload them to the premom app and it calculates your ovulation. This is my first month tracking and found them really useful

afinethingindeed · 22/01/2023 16:54

@Chip131 yeah it's so true! Just keep it in your back pocket if you need it :) x

@Betsy21 only started in July last year so not as long as others on this board. Feels long enough though. I really hope you have good news this week.

Hi @Chip131 welcome! DH and I are TTC our 2nd and I still feel clueless - wonder if that ever goes away! There's a lot of really helpful people on these boards though so shout if you need anything. Also, it sounds like you've got similar dates to a few of us. Are you using any ovulation tests? I've just found out the app predicts my ovulation date about 4 days too early so I'd recommend thinking about that if needed x

Chip131 · 22/01/2023 15:24

Hey all! Please can I join? I am 30, ttc for the first time and first month. Just in my fertile window now, flo predicts today is day of ovulation. Feeling bloated so i dont know if thats an ovulation sign😂😂🤞 feeling pretty clueless 2bh. Xxx

redavocado · 22/01/2023 15:16

Yep, ovulation confirmed and totally different to the time in the Fitbit app! I'm holding off testing and will see if my period arrives this week!

Hi all, can I join you? We've been half hearted trying for a second for a while with no real regard for ovulation or anything like that. This month we got serious so I'm 4dpo and according to my Fitbit (usually correct!) due in 6 days which doesn't seem quite accurate so not sure when to test! Confused

Welcome Redavocado ..
did you confirm ovulation? Does sound pretty soon but when I first used ovulation tests my period came later to match that date & my app caught up the next month , fingers crossed for you x

@Betsy21 I want to say I'll wait until 4th feb but will probably start testing from around 1st (11 DPO). What about you? When will you hear back about your bloods?

@Morticia31 when's your first test? Are you able to hold out? I hope you enjoy your family day tomorrow! xx

Going by flo it says to test next Sunday with my period being the Monday. Usually flo is spot on for my period so I will see if I can hold off 1 more day haha! Bloods should be back mid week so fingers crossed. They did say if no ovulation then it'd be a referral to fertility clinic. Fingers crossed for you 🙏 how long have you been ttc?

But worn out now 😅 think we got a bit excited this month and really want it to happen ,
ahh will be nice for all of us to do the wait together 🥰

that will be nice a nice evening away , it’s my brothers 30th tomorrow so a nice family day for us x

Betsy21 · 21/01/2023 19:01

Thank you @afafinethingindeed hoping its good news! When will you be testing? Seems like a lot of us are around the same time. Haha yeah a well deserved break, enjoy it 🙂

afinethingindeed · 21/01/2023 18:52

Good luck @Betsy21! Let us know the results.
Yeah it's been a hard slog lol - think we're both looking forward to having a little break I think 😂

@Morticia31 wow! I've found every other day hard enough! Fingers crossed for you!!

I'm not doing anything interesting this weekend - just at home with toddler. You?
Next weekend, DH and I are away for the night so I think that'll help pass some of the time in the TWW. It's a hard wait otherwise.

Seems like a few of us will be testing at the same time... it's nice being in the same boat but wish it wasn't so hard for everyone.

🤞 for you all x

hopefulkiy1020 · 21/01/2023 18:10

@Morticia31 I'm soooo happy for you. I got my positive opk this morning. What a joy. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽
