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.

Hi @Mismatc @Clettercletterthatsbetter

approx 3dpo. I have cramping still. It hasn’t gone since ovulation on the 10th May so have no know idea what that is about.

Every month I convince myself it’s the month so I’m trying so hard not to do that this time.

4dpo here. Too early for any symptoms but I don’t think this is our month either.

When are you going to start testing?

How is everyone getting on?

I’m 3dpo-ish and again feeling like this isn’t our month (maybe that’s self protective so I can’t be disappointed). Time is going faster and I feel less hyper focussed/ obsessed with TTC.

Next month I may try monitoring my BBT but I’m a terrible sleeper so I’m not sure how well it will work.

I hope it goes quickly for you.

I went to see my friend’s 5 day old yesterday, it was so lovely to see them as a family and to see my partner thrilled to hold the baby. I really hope we’re able to conceive 🤞🏻

I had positive LH 2 days ago so am ovulation day/ 1dpo today. This month has gone faster, I hope it continues to feel a little less obsessive.

Good luck @Mismatc!

I’m now officially in the TWW. Again.

Clearblue ovulation test was positive today! We have barely tried this cycle so far but though, fingers crossed.

Good luck! I did my first clearblue ovulation test this morning and negative but I was a bit late starting them.

My OPK is positive or almost there. Wish me luck!

I’m CD10 and haven’t done any ovulation tests yet! Looks like I’m just seeing what happens this month

Fingers crossed for everyone in this thread..🤞🏽🤞🏽

hoping we all get our positives this month😊

Catchafallingstar7 · 08/05/2023 10:18

Hey I was unlucky last month! Seems sad to not hear any bfps! Hope We can get there this month. Xx

I’m happy to stay, feels really unlucky that no one got a bfp last month, I’d like a happy ending for at least one person, haha.

OP posts:
Clettercletterthatsbetter · 07/05/2023 20:33

Are we staying on this thread for the next cycle? I think we were all unlucky last month!’

CD10 here, negative OPK though weirdly had EWCM a few days ago. Haven’t DTD yet so maybe I’m already out for this month!

How are you all getting on? I’m CD7 and feeling much more relaxed about TTC at the moment. I have so much else going on in life and am feeling really stressed so I think that this month probably won’t happen anyway. I’m hoping that I give no thought to it and a bfp just surprises me out of the blue!

@Tdcp how do you feel about that?

OP posts:
Tdcp · 02/05/2023 11:27

@Mismatc I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it happens for you really soon!

AF arrived for me yesterday.

Mismatc · 02/05/2023 08:39

I tested when I got home on Sunday night and not having tested for a couple of days, I had built up a little bit of hope. I tested bfn, felt a bit sad and af came later that evening. I’m usually quite regular, sometimes a day either side, it was strange for it to come so early, I wasn’t due on until Tuesday/ Wednesday.

On to the next month! I think I felt sad because it made it real that conceiving naturally may not happen for us.

I’ve not tested and am looking forward to going to see a friend today for the night. I’m not feeling pregnant and just not really thinking about it (which is a nice break from obsessing). Hopefully, af will arrive on Tuesday and we can try again

@Catchafallingstar7 good luck with SMEP! I think we could either go more that way or just be super relaxed and see what happens. Not sure yet. My DP has been under some stress to do with work over the last week or so so I’m not sure it’s right to choose something which puts pressure on us.

@Tdcp I’m really happy to hear that you feel supported now, regardless of what happens. That’s such a lovely resolution after what must have been a horrendous week. Was it after af was due that you got bfps before?

OP posts:
Tdcp · 28/04/2023 22:44

So, af was due today and no sign. The nausea is getting worse though, I was sent home from work today after 2 days off. Negative test still so it could be a coincidence but with the last 2 pregnancies I was being sick / nauseous around 1-2 weeks before a positive. Gah!

On another note, dp has apologised. He said he's with me no matter what happens.

Catchafallingstar7 · 28/04/2023 18:25

@Mismatc Well af arrived three days before expected! What on earth. Never had a cycle early before. Late sometimes but never early. It’s definitely full af though. BFN before work then had code red at work. Annoying… that means I’ve just had a 26 day cycle. Weird!!!

going to try SMEP a little bit more focused if we can. Although DH is a shift worker 😂 so not always easy. No caffeine. No alcohol. Still no hot tubs for husband 😂 and I’m ordering pre-seed 🫣 never tried it before.

not tried this before. But thought might just give it a cycle throwing everything at it I can. Then go back to being slightly more relaxed if it doesn’t work.

have a lovely weekend! X

@Clettercletterthatsbetter sorry I didn’t see your update. I hope it happens for you next cycle!

@Catchafallingstar7 I hope af comes soon and you can get started again. How are you going to switch it up?

I’m bfn at 11DPO, even took a FRER this morning. I feel slightly sore boobs but I think that must be my normal af symptoms that I’m paying extra attention to. I’m due af on Tuesday and then on to next month!

No testing for me over the weekend as me and DP are spending it with different people and if it did become positive he doesn’t want to miss out on sharing that moment. I’ll test again Sunday evening/ Monday morning. Expecting bfn and af on Tuesday.

OP posts:
Catchafallingstar7 · 27/04/2023 21:04

11dpo here and bfn. Feeling symptoms of af coming already so feeling out and mentally moving on to cycle three.

knowing me I will keep testing until Sunday when af is due to arrive.

think I’m going to switch it up a bit more next month.

@Tdcp yeah, I can only imagine how complicated that is for you.
