Ovulation date 25th or 26th March - TWW thread

Hi ladies, who would like to join a TWW thread. My ovulation date is today or tomorrow ❤️

Month 9 TTC baby number 2.

I have a 1 year old who took 16 months to conceive.

I’m 29 and my hubs is 31. We know my husband has a fertility issue so we’re aware it could well be a long road ahead. Not that it makes TTC any more bearable. Every month is depressing when AF arrives!

Would love to share in the TWW with some others!

Flo app said mine was day 12 but glow app said day 14 but I pretty much dtd around both of them

Mummy1502 · 30/03/2023 19:59

@Kirstyddd i normally ovulate cycle day 10/11 going by ovulation strips from my previous cycles if that helps, my cycles are quite short though 23-24 days x

Kirstyddd · 30/03/2023 19:46

Well if the app I use is pretty correct I can’t be for wrong

Mummy1502 · 30/03/2023 19:38

@Kirstyddd if your dtd regularly I really wouldn’t worry, that’s the approach im
taking this month, I stopped testing for ovulation coz I was obsessed and heartbroken after my chemical, it stressed me out too much x

Ttcdcno1 · 30/03/2023 19:28

hi ladies
Can I join? ☺️
I think I ovulated on the 24th but not sure how much I trust the apps.

been trying for baby number 1 for around 7 months on and off (first few months weren’t really trying very seriously) but then I had a chemical pregnancy in December

Kirstyddd · 30/03/2023 19:06

I bit the bullet and ordered some test strips,

im just preparing myself for the worst,

im Starting to think that because I don’t test for ovulation and I went off the app im already out because im seeing most people have been ovulation at day 20 and I was way before that according to what I went with my app

the not knowing I think will be worse for me

Stillwinston · 30/03/2023 14:26

Thanks 😊 @TTC53

@Kirstyddd definitely best to hold off until AF is due if you can. I've never managed it myself though and am a serial tester from 8dpo onwards 😂

@emmatcc1 it took us over 2 years to conceive our son so I totally understand your disappointment. Unfortunately it doesn't get any easier as the months go by but we're all here to offer moral support 👍

emmatcc1 · 30/03/2023 14:02

Hi I'm 2 dpo ovulated early on cd 11 and dtd on days 5,7,9,11 still think it's not enough. AF is due on the 12th which is my birthday also ovulated on our anniversary. After 8 months trying I'm not holding out much hope.

Kirstyddd · 30/03/2023 13:44

@Stillwinston thanks, I’m not sure yet,worried to do one because a never done a before and 2 I don’t wanna get disappoint

TTC53 · 30/03/2023 13:15

Sorry to hear about covid @Stillwinston , hope you're resting up.

1 dpo for me and temp has started to shift up. Earlier than last month which is good so I can stop temping in a few days so I don't obsess like last month. Now the dreaded wait begins for me, thankfully busy at work to keep my mind occupied

Stillwinston · 30/03/2023 13:04

@Kirstyddd welcome! Sending lots of positive vibes your way 😀when are you planning on testing?

I'm feeling horrible but that's because I've picked up covid 🙄 at least I can dismiss my "symptoms" as just illness now

Mummy1502 · 30/03/2023 11:33

Feeling okay, no symptoms to report other than massively tired but that’s normal for me just after ovulation, I’m only 1 or 2dpo, I didn’t use opk’s this month as needed to stop being so obsessed so I’m just guessing from my other cycles x

Amber125 · 30/03/2023 11:29

4Dpo here and every little symptom I’m having I’m convincing myself it’s early pregnancy symptoms even though I fully know there’s no way I’d be able to tell at this point lol 😂 how’s everyone else feeling today? 💗

Kirstyddd · 30/03/2023 11:26

Can I please join,

although I am not test for my ovulation the apps are telling me between 22nd and 24th so dtd 3 times in and around so hoping we have done enough,

im 32 partner already has 2 older children, this is our first month trying

today is between dpi 6-8 and I’m going insane, I feel a little sickie today but nothing major, 🤞

Mummy1502 · 30/03/2023 11:25

@TTCing it’s hard to not get your hopes up isn’t it but at the same time you really want it, going by my previous cycles I think I’m 1 or 2dpo today trying to keep myself busy x

TTCing · 30/03/2023 11:17

Morning all, I hope everyone is okay!

4dpo here!

in my head, I feel kind of rational this month as I’m just convinced this is not my month for my bfp! I am fully expecting AF and then to begin month 10 of TTC! Wow, that has gone so quickly this time around!

i hope everyone is keeping themselves busy to help the time pass quickly xx

You too @EllieBelly93 ❤️ . I now know what it’s like to be obsessed about constantly tracking bbt and counting down the days 😅. My period is due next Thursday but I can’t even bring myself to do an early pregnancy test due to the sadness in my heart if I see the negative result. Sorry for sounding like so negative, I just have these thoughts constantly in my head from having a traumatic past year 😢 keep us up to date and vice versa x

EllieBelly93 · 29/03/2023 21:41

@Stillwinston thank you lovely you too!
@TTCing we dtd 5 times in my ‘fertile week’ however, according to natural cycles app the first two times were ‘low fertility’ so who knows - still trying not to think about it and pray for a little egg to stick. Hoping this is your month too lovely 🙏🏼
@TTCnumbertwo2 im so sorry to hear about your losses please keep strong and manifest your baby. Keep optimistic lovely im sending you so much baby dust

Mummy1502 · 29/03/2023 16:50

@Stillwinston we normally do it more than that 😂 I’ve had to have a nap today I’m so tired, I seem to get like this around ovulation so normal for me, hoping it’s a good sign that I have ovulated, it’s hard not testing, I’m still cramping today so maybe today could be ovulation day? It’s gonna be a long wait for me too x

Stillwinston · 29/03/2023 16:17

@Mummy1502 you dtd a lot more than I did so I reckon you stand a good chance 😃 I'm just feeling absolutely knackered today but I know that technically speaking there's no way I would have symptoms right now so trying to push it to the back of my mind. I can't believe I'm only 3dpo, time is crawling right now 😫

Mummy1502 · 29/03/2023 10:04

How is everyone today? I’m super tired, no idea if I ovulated or not, first month not using opk’s, however we dtd cycle days 3,4,6,7 and 9, missed yesterday which I feel like we should have dtd and not sure if today is going to be too late, worried I’ve not covered enough, I usually get a positive opk day 9/10 so assuming I ovulate day 10/11 going by my previous cycles, there was me saying I was going to be more chill this month 😂 x

Stillwinston · 28/03/2023 16:20

@TTC53 😂 that's made my afternoon!

TTC53 · 28/03/2023 15:39

Hello newcomers 😊 it's so lovely to have a network of supportive females who understand what we're going through.

I got my LH surge this morning wahoo. Although my CM seems to have instantly dried up so I'm not sure what's going on there. I think I'll carry on with BBT until I confirm three higher temps then stop. Last month I drove myself mad taking my temps and getting hopeful when it rose towards the end of my cycle - turns out going to bed with my dressing gown due to a cold night has a massive impact 😅

Stillwinston · 28/03/2023 13:54

2dpo and I'm driving myself insane already 😂 needed to wee twice during a meeting just now and convinced myself I'm pregnant even though in reality I drank 2 massive coffees just beforehand. This is going to be a long 2 weeks......😆

Mummy1502 · 28/03/2023 13:29

@TTCing thankyou and good luck to you too x
