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!

Welcome @Baconbinge! It’s great to have you!

@Mummy1502 well done for taking a step back from testing for ovulation. I totally feel this too. I have been obsessed with tracking ovulation when I was TTC before. I don’t feel I’m so bad this time, but I was a few months ago. Again, like you, I had to take a step back from it before it controlled me! Sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough time. Sending you love. Fingers crossed for you this cycle xx

Hi ladies, can I join please! I'm 32 and TTC#1 on cycle 3.

Positive OPK yesterday so should be ovulating today. AF due 11th April so looking forward to having a handhold from this group 😊

Convinced myself I was pregnant last month but managed to hold off testing until AF. Sounds awful but I'd got myself so anxious about trying to hide early pregnancy in work/visiting family (running out of meetings to be secretly sick etc) that it was almost a relief when AF came! So trying to take a much more chilled approach this time as we really do want to have a little one! Maybe it was just the hormones 🙈

MK85 · 28/03/2023 12:08

Ovulation date was yesterday. Ovulated extremely late in cycle this month day 41 so dont know I'd that will affect the likelihood of it working
I'm 37, trying 17 + years with one chemical in dec
He has morphology issues and I have pcos and have only recently began ovulating on my own

Amber125 · 28/03/2023 11:55

Hi ladies can I join? Peak ovulation test on the 25th of March and I believe I ovulated on the 26th of March if my ovary twinges and basal body temp are anything to go by! Only dtd on the morning of the 25th though so one day before ov.. so hoping that i just might have caught it in time.

Mummy1502 · 28/03/2023 10:24

@TTC53 yea I just got to a point where I was getting so disheartened I needed to just chill out, hope you get your lh surge today, my cycles are fairly short, around 22-24 days so once I get to day 20 I think I may possibly take a first response if I’m feeling any sort of symptoms, I really do want to try hold out until af is due but I think if it’s negative then il know rather than holding out hope x

TTC53 · 28/03/2023 10:20

Bless you @Mummy1502, you've been on a journey haven't you. I'm sorry to hear this. I totally understand with the obsessing but it sounds like you're doing the correct thing for yourself. Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book!

Welcome too @Baconbinge, love the relaxed approach. People say its definitely the best way forward

I didn't get my lh surge yesterday as I hoped. Fingers crossed for today

Mummy1502 · 28/03/2023 09:26

Can I join please? Bit of background, lost a little bean in November at 7 weeks, then went on to have 2 chemical pregnancies, since November I have been obsessively using opk’s, after my chemical last month I really went down hill and decided no more opk’s and no more obsessing, I’m currently cycle day 10 and have not sure if I’ve ovulated or not, however in previous cycles I always seemed to ovulate cycle day 10/11 going by my opk’s, started feeling crampy yesterday and today so possible ovulation but I refuse to test 😂 trying the more chilled out approach x

Baconbinge · 27/03/2023 19:00

Can I join. I am currently trying for my first baby, I turn 35 in May. Not tracking ovulation yet, just hoping for the best. My app says I should be ovulating today, have dtd lots recently to cover it and plan on continuing this week too. Currently on cycle 2 of trying.

TTCing · 27/03/2023 14:55

@TTC53 welcome to the thread! Fingers crossed for ovulation soon for you! And I hope this month is your month ❤️

@Stillwinston oh! The tww turns me delusional! I’m usually okay until about 7dpo and then I convince myself every month I’m pregnant!

@TTCnumbertwo2 i know what you mean about not getting excited if pregnant. I’ll always have the fear and anxiety. I had a miscarriage before I had my daughter. It’s really anxiety inducing now! Hopefully this month will be yours! X

OP posts:
TTCnumbertwo2 · 27/03/2023 12:41

Thanks @Stillwinston ❤️

Yes it’s soo tough ! I saw a gynaecologist last week whilst I’m waiting for the recurrent miscarriage specialist and she’s prescribed me in the mean time with herapin injections and progesterone pessaries as soon as I get a bfp. I hope this time it will work out. I’m 34 soon. Hoping it will be our month for us all 🙏🏼

Stillwinston · 27/03/2023 11:51

@TTCnumbertwo2 oh gosh, it's so bloody hard isn't it and you've had a super tough time, no wonder you find it so stressful. Pregnancy is terrifying at best of times but add in multiple losses and it becomes terrifying😩at least we can have a safe space here and share our worries and anguish without any judgement xx

TTCnumbertwo2 · 27/03/2023 11:42

@Stillwinston im absolutely going crazy! I can’t bear another month trying let alone however many more months 😫 and it’s not even though I would get excited if I do fall pregnant as I’ve had 3x miscarriages, so I’m just going to be so stressed. This is a tough stage in my life for sure!

Stillwinston · 27/03/2023 10:52

@TTCing We managed to dtd a couple of times in the fertile window so I'm hoping it's enough though not holding out much hope.

Nice to see so many more people on this thread, hopefully we'll all be super lucky! Has everyone started to get crazy already like I am even though it's only 1dpo? 😂

TTC53 · 27/03/2023 10:48

Would love to join your thread again please. It made last months TWW slightly more bearable

We're 8 months into TTC our first. I'm 31 and husbands 32. No apparent fertility issues that we're aware of. I've been through a couple of tests due to issues ovulating to start with but scans and bloods came back clear.

I think I'm going to hit my LH surge today (will be testing throughout today to confirm) so really hopeful for ovulation tomorrow.

Lovely to meet you all and I hope we have lots of positive results this month

Bailem · 27/03/2023 09:51

Thank you @TTCing fingers crossed for us :)

TTCing · 27/03/2023 09:49

Welcome @Bailem ❤️ well done for managing three times! Hopefully that will stand you in good stead for your BFP!

my TWW starts today so we should be quite in sync!

Best of luck to you! X

Bailem · 27/03/2023 09:45

My TWW starts today so good to have some company. It's our 3rd cycle TTC.

We dtd three times in fertile week. Not tracking ovulation, just working with dates so it's just a estimate but definitely had all the signs of ovulation 😊

Fingers crossed for us all x

TTCing · 27/03/2023 09:24

How many times has everyone managed to dtd?

I only managed two days before ovulation and the day of ovulation (I think). I’m a bit disappointed as I wanted to make it to three times in my fertile window. But I’ve just not been feeling up to it this week.

Now the painstaking wait begins!

OP posts:
TTCing · 27/03/2023 02:37

@Stillwinston hope you managed to dtd! Let’s do the tww now ❤️

@EllieBelly93 welcome! Best of luck for this cycle x

OP posts:
Stillwinston · 26/03/2023 23:20

I finally got my static smiley late last night so my predicted dates for AF have now moved forward to the 8th/9th, same as everyone else on here it seems! Hopefully we can keep each other sane over the next 2 weeks😂

@EllieBelly93 welcome! Sending lots of luck your way for this month 😊 x

EllieBelly93 · 26/03/2023 23:05

I have the exact same dates as a few of us. According to my natural cycles app I ovulated yesterday or today. Praying this is a lucky month for us all. TTC baby number 1 x

Stillwinston · 25/03/2023 15:29

Looks like you guys are slightly ahead of me re. ovulation then, I'm looking forward to having some solidarity with all the symptom spotting over the next couple of weeks though 😀and it only takes 1 sperm @TTCing so hopefully this will be your month!

TTCing · 25/03/2023 14:15

@TTCnumbertwo2 sorry to hear about your three losses. That must be so tough and make it so hard. Even when you have had a positive test.

I had a miscarriage before my first and the anxiety never goes away after.

I hope this is your month and welcome to the thread xx

OP posts:
TTCing · 25/03/2023 14:13

@Stillwinston no, it didn’t come across like that at all 😊

I’m so thankful for my girl too! And the wait for a baby is hard but it’s so worth it ❤️

I actually only tested for ovulation for the first time yesterday and it was a static smiley yesterday. Yesterday was the first time we dtd this cycle! So I’m hoping we’ll manage once or twice more today/tomorrow.

I think I’ll be due AF on 7th/8th/9th April. Sometime around then. My cycle length tends to vary between 28 to 31 days!

Fingers crossed for us both xx

So sorry to hear about your losses @TTCnumbertwo2, that must be so hard 💔the TWW is the cruelest thing, it's amazing how quickly the month goes by when you're not trying but how slowly the time crawls when you're in it 😫sending you lots of luck for this cycle x
