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.

@NayNay03 I'm so sorry, it's so awful and so stressful isn't it. I had it with my first as well but it was more nausea based, I couldn't lay down in bed for about 4 months because everything would spin. I'm dreading it happening again but I'm trying to be positive. I was on Ondensetron and one beginning with an M?

Hi All ..can I please join in, i'm 27 TTC #2

@Tdcp Horrible what happened to you, I had severe HG last year March which ended up in hospital stay not to long after I had a miscarriage.
I am so anxious because I had a similar experience with my 6 year old.

do you perhaps remember the meds you given?

@Mismatc hello! Thank you. We are ttc# 3 this time so I’m glad to have company with others also on to number three. But my age gaps are smaller. My youngest just turned two.

The TWW sends me a bit loopy. my flo app says to test may 3rd! So I’m hiding my tests until then.

Ovulation dates are the 19th for me. I’m hoping I can break that egg this month. Also had hg in previous pregnancy. Lockdown baby. I’m hoping for an easier pregnancy this time but also hoping to fall pregnant quickly. I hate the tww it feels like it drags so much and then it’s the whole waiting to see if you are pregnant or the disappointment of af. Good luck to all

@Mismatc I was last pregnant 6.5 years ago. I had horrendous HG and ended up having a termination because I lost 3 stone in 2.5 months and my organs started failing. The hospital said I was doing it to myself because all I needed to do was "drink more water" and halved my medication and sent me home (had 6 admissions by this point). It's taken me a long time to accept what happened but I am really hoping it doesn't happen again. Though now DD is a lot older it will be a lot easier than having a toddler / hg and countless hospital stays.

Sorry for the ramble there!

So pleased to have company! And a fair few with quite a big age gap as well — my DC are 9 and 10.

I think I can already feel my boobs and I might not have even ovulated yet. I think the TWW may drive me a little crazy.

@Clettercletterthatsbetter we’re hoping to go for number 4 after this one so all being well I’ll be trying for number 4 in similar circumstances to you. I hope you still have some chance this month.

Welcome @Catchafallingstar7! Are you TTC your first?

@Tdcp same age gap 🙂. I’m hoping it happens quickly for you again — if it’s not too personal, how long ago were you last pregnant?

Joining you! I'm a little ahead, OV - 14th, cycle 1. TTC our second but with a 9year age gap. I've been pregnant twice and both times it happened straight away but I'm a lot older now at almost 37.

Catchafallingstar7 · 17/04/2023 11:23

Hi there!
Can I join you please I’m dpo1! Just fresh into my TWW.
this is cycle two for us. I am 30.

fingers crossed 🤞🏻 all! X

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 17/04/2023 11:09

I’m a couple of days ahead of you (OV 15/16th) but I’ll join you!

36, TTC #4, cycle 2

I’m not holding out much hope for this month - we didn’t manage to have sex much after OV as DH was ill. Also not convinced I’ve ovulated this month - usually I feel it really strongly but nothing this month.

It’s 4 years since we conceived DC3, and I’m
sure my egg quality has plummeted since then!
