Ovulation date 25th or 26th March - TWW thread

TTCing · 25/03/2023 07:59

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!

@TTCing yeah, I'd heard good things on here about it so thought we'd give it a go - you dtd every other day until you have a peak OPK test and then you do 3 days in a row effectively. I'm absolutely knackered with work and everything but we managed to dtd Monday and today so going to try and see it through 😬

Ttcdcno1 · 19/04/2023 21:52

@TTCing dtd does not happen for us outside the fertile window atm 😂far too tiring

@Stillwinston is that Sperm Meets Egg method? Does that involve dtd every day? I don’t think I’d have the energy! I dtd last night (not even in my fertile window), but trying to dtd outside of the fertile window too - do make it seem less forced when we dtd in it 😂 so tiring!

@Ttcmumma @Amber125 so sorry to hear that things have been tough, sending love ❤️

I'm CD9 today and started SMEP yesterday - really hoping it works as I'm not sure I can keep this momentum up 😂

@Ttcmumma sounds like a good thing x

Ttcmumma · 18/04/2023 11:02

I'm only on cd3 at the moment! Tho feeling a little hopeful for the future that my AF is heavier this month. Since my miscarriage af had only been lasting 3 days a month and quite light. Today is cd3 and I'm heavier flow than yesterday so feel like I'm going abit more 'back to normal' for me! Maybe more chance of concieving this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mummy1502 · 18/04/2023 10:43

@TTCing thankyou, wishing you the best of luck for this cycle x

@Mummy1502 fabulous! X

@Kirstyddd most of us haven’t entered our ovulation period for this month/cycle yet. I’m not sure anyone is past ovulation for this cycle yet. So you’re ahead of us all x

@Mummy1502 i hope so

Mummy1502 · 18/04/2023 06:47

@Kirstyddd Thankyou! Your symptoms sound promising x

Kirstyddd · 18/04/2023 06:43

@Mummy1502 congratulations

how is everyone feeling, I feel like I’m slightly behind everyone, I believe I’m around day 3/4dpo,

I have been having twinges in my left side on and off since ovulation, I kind of knew I was ovulation although I didn’t get a high/peak opk,

I am full of cold and my temp is sky high

Mummy1502 · 18/04/2023 06:35

Got my 2-3 this morning! Going up like it should x

@Ttcmumma i feel your pain so much 😔 I wish I had some wisdom to help us both feel better.

I experienced a miscarriage before my daughter, we TTCd for over a year and had a miscarriage. When I look at my daughter, I remind myself that she was chosen for me and if things had worked out differently, she wouldn’t be who she is/with me now. She reminds me that there is hope and light beyond this pain now ❤️

if anyone is finding the positive pregnancy tests/hearing about pregnancies difficult, we can start a new thread? I’ll go with whatever the majority prefers.

@Amber125 sending love to you. I had a miscarriage at 4+3 and I’m now on day 8 of this cycle. It’s so hard.

Just a little update from me, sadly I miscarried on Saturday night at 5 weeks and 1 day. To be honest I had a feeling it was coming because my pregnancy tests were getting lighter and my symptoms seemed to be disappearing a few days before. Trying not to feel to sad about it, it obviously wasn’t meant to be.. I hope all you ladies who have your bfps go on to have a happy and healthy 9 months and for the other ladies who didn’t get their bfp I wish you all the best of luck for the upcoming months and hope you get your positives ✨ 🤍

Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 09:12

@TTCing it is 😔 the sadness has definitely set in today. Feel defeated... As much as I tried not to I gave myself a deadline I wanted to be pregnant again by and that was my final month to make it work and within the 3 months since miscarriage being 'more fertile'. Af is just a reminder of another failed month and the fact I should be 3 months from expecting a baby yet I'm nowhere near expecting a baby. I'm sure I'll pick myself back up again but it definitely hits hard when AF arrives.

I was going to say a new thread to start fresh but I think some of the mummas to be in here wanted to watch our journey still haha. Sad for us all that didn't get our bfps this month but glad we have eachother atleast x

Mummy1502 · 17/04/2023 09:12
