Ovulation 17th or 18th April, TWW

Mismatc · 17/04/2023 10:58

I’m ovulating today or tomorrow and wondered if anyone wanted to do the TWW with me?

TTC number 3
Cycle number 1
33 years old
My first with my partner who has low sperm morphology and I’m 10 years older than the last time I was pregnant!

I’m excited and nervous, this may be a long TTC journey for us but I’m trying to stay positive.

I’m ok thanks @Mismatc! A bit gutted that I’m still not pregnant (period arrived this morning but I already knew I was out this month), but very excited for you both!

That’s wonderful! Hoping for @Clettercletterthatsbetter as well.

I've been feeling nauseous all weekend, at least it’s for a good reason now.

@Mismatc congratulations!! Wonderful news - How exciting. ♥️

im pleased to report me too!!! I’ve done three cheapy tests now and definitely a line on each.
DH has been abroad and arrived back this afternoon. I handed him the test and said Happy Fathers Day!

I can’t quite believe it but I have had a faint pink line!!! We are cautiously happy and so happy that it means that we are able to conceive even if this one doesn’t stick. What a lovely father’s day

Oh wow! I have everything crossed for you, let us know in the morning. I’ll be doing one as soon as I get home at 4pm 🤞🏻

Eeek that’s so exciting @Catchafallingstar7! I’ll keep everything crossed that you get a nice strong line with FMU tomorrow!

Catchafallingstar7 · 18/06/2023 09:52

hello again -

Well I looked at my apps this morning (trying not to look every single hour because it makes time go very slowly) and realised I was 10dpo so I tested - not FMU probably like 3/4th to be honest as I was up all night.

There is a squinter that came up within the time and was pinky but you had to really hold it to the light! i did a silly excited dance but now that it has dried it looks much more grey and not pink! So my negative thinking is kicking in. Probably wanting to protect myself.

It would be Sod’s law that id get an indent when I’m close to giving up sooo I’m going to try and test again tomorrow if not tonight and probably Google every single fbfp all day 😅😆

fingers crossed for you testing later. I’m really wishing for us both for it to happen. X

I haven’t tested yet, I’ll test this evening for the first time. I’ve got sore boobs but I’ve had them every month. I think I’ve made peace that it may not happen naturally for us — if we get to September I think we will consider treatment.

10dpo is still really early but I understand just not feeling pregnant. Hopefully at least one of us gets it this month!

Catchafallingstar7 · 17/06/2023 23:27

Hi @Mismatc im 8dpo but nearly 9dpo I haven’t tested yet this month. AF due in 4/5days. I’ve got lots of my PMS symptoms I usually get at this time so had a sad feeling all day today that I’m out again. I’ll come and update next Sunday.

i get how you feel when you said you feel it won’t happen for us. Had a similar mind frame the last few days. Every due date I’ve day dreamed seems impossible now and I’m finding it hard to visualise.

i have a baby shower this weekend which is around when AF is due :(

We must remember, it is normal for it to take a while and we are doing our best 💐

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 17/06/2023 22:41

@Catchafallingstar7 @Mismatc any news? 10dpo here and still stark white - I think I’m out this month too… 😞
I just have a feeling it won’t happen for us again - perhaps I need to make my peace with that…

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 12/06/2023 06:23

5dpo here. My cycle has been really weird this month - ovulation later than usual so we didn’t manage to dtd at all after ovulation, and I had two periods of spotting (pre-ovulation and around ovulation) so I have no idea what’s going on. I’m going to try not to test until Sunday 18th.

Catchafallingstar7 · 11/06/2023 19:49

@Mismatc just Realised I didn’t manage to finish my last post! Sorry about that.

just booked a holiday so focusing on that instead now as distraction. Desperate for it to happen for us soon as the age gap is really bothering me. But At least I can make use of the all inclusive if it hasn’t Happened by September

I’m CD16 now and have not been thinking about it all that much. I’m hoping that my chilled attitude continues! I hope all is going well for both of you

Hi @Mismatc Im CD 15 so launching in to my TWW
good luck and fingers crossed for us both
it feels as if we should be celebrating someone’s bfp soon!

im going to try so hard not to test before 25th June but …. Already I’m worried I’ll test early and squint for many days. We had a pretty

I’m CD14 so about to start/ have just started my TWW. I’m hoping I feel similarly to have I have felt at the beginning of this cycle, mildly aware but not obsessed.

We’re away for a wedding next weekend so I won’t test until Sunday 18th evening/ Monday 19th morning which will be 10/11 dpo.

I have my fingers crossed for at least one of us this month!

I’m really hoping for a bfp for at least one of us 😊. I’m not testing and barely aware of my cycle day. I was losing a bit of the joy of being intimate so I’m trying to forget about it and enjoy each other

OP posts:
Clettercletterthatsbetter · 06/06/2023 06:33

I’m feeling a lot less positive about this month now… CD15 and still no positive OPK!

I usually get a positive on day 12 or 13 so I’m wondering if I’m not going to ovulate this month…

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 05/06/2023 06:38

I’m the same @Catchafallingstar7 - some EWCM but no positive OPK yet, which suggests this might be a longer cycle for me or I’ll have an even shorter luteal phase this time 😭

If it doesn’t happen this month then I might try BBT charting, but I’m not sure how effective it would be for me as my sleep is usually very disturbed thanks to my children!

Come on gang, let’s have BFPs for all
of us this month!

Catchafallingstar7 · 04/06/2023 20:53

Hi @Mismatc CD 10 today. Some signs of fertile window like EWCM (sorry overshare) but definitely not near ovulation yet. I have started OPKS this month as I haven’t done them ever before! Only started today though - I’ll use the box but once that box is gone I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll stick with.

It will be interesting to see if the progesterone cream helps!

I’m not even doing OPKs this month, I just really don’t want to. I guess we will see what happens with no tracking whatsoever.

OP posts:
Clettercletterthatsbetter · 02/06/2023 17:26

Congrats on the move @Mismatc - hopefully now that’s out of the way you’ll be feeling more relaxed and this will be your month!

CD11 here. No sign of OV yet, but I’m feeling a bit more optimistic this month. I’ll also start using the natural progesterone cream after OV to see if that helps lengthen my luteal phase. We shall see what happens!

I’m CD7 already! Been a crazy few months renovating but we finally moved house yesterday. I think ovulation will come around quickly with lots of unpacking and sorting out our home. Just hoping that this is the month.

How are you both?
