Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@GSD2024 hi lovely! I know what you mean it is so hard to keep yourself busy!! You’ve got this! We are here to help!

JM1997 · 22/04/2024 15:19

@Hannah4850 sounds like a good plan to get the kids and get home! Honestly I’m so glad I’m off. Keep me up to date how you’re feeling, and a hot water bottle definitely helps. What would we do without them!

GSD2024 · 22/04/2024 15:04

@Hannah4850 @JM1997 hi ladies! Glad you’re both ok.

I’m not due to ovulate for another week, still low LH tests. Just trying to keep busy, but it’s hard! Xx

@JM1997 that sounds so nice!
I'm sat in the office 😭 but I have a lashes client tonight and I've switched her to tomorrow so I can finish and get the kids then run home to my own water bottle!
I'm due to ovulate mom/tuesday so we're quite close!

@Hannah4850 just sat on the sofa with a hot water bottle as today is my day off got our dog curled up next to me bless her ❤️ I took an ovulation test and I haven’t ovulated yet but I reckon the cramps are telling me my body is getting ready to ovulate!! I am not expecting to ovulate until Sunday according to my app.

Morning @Hannah4850
Omg me too I’m really crampy and have a back ache like I have the motion like I feel like I’m having my period again, but I’ve only just finished it. Just wiped and I’ve like brown spotting discharge, so I think I may have ovulated. I’m going to take an ovulation test in a bit.

Ooh that's good! When's your expected ovulation date??
I've got the same though cramps like after is coming again and my ribs are sooo sore but no idea what that 🤣🤣
Haven't done my opk today but not expected for a week 💖

@Elspeth1990 good luck lovely! Keep us updated, absolutely fingers crossed we do!

JM1997 · 19/04/2024 09:17

@Elspeth1990 keeping everything crossed for you that the scan goes well and that it is all smooth sailing. Keep us updated on how your symptoms develop, and please chat to us anytime you need anything 🥰 we are all in it together. Looking forward to the day when the chat becomes us all talking about scans etc cause we have all conceived ❤️❤️

Aww thank you!! Feeling a bit crampy. I've had 2 sections with my last being in 2023. So I guess it's to be expected. Will be watching this space and hoping you are all joining me very soon.

JM1997 · 22/04/2024 09:06

Morning ladies,
Good luck this week with DTDs and conceiving. We have got this!
How is everyone feeling??

JM1997 · 21/04/2024 14:51

@Hannah4850 that ie good that you got the line. Let us know how you get on that would be amazing if you conceived in Dublin🤞🏻🤞🏻 I need to take an ovulation test today, and we DTD again last night, so definitely hoping being more frequent will work!

that was my only hope - CD15 will have to be lucky for us! Glad your timings are looking more positive - trip away sounds lovely!

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Yeah a nice trip to distract and occupy us 😅💖

not 100 percent sure because my cycles are still weird from breastfeeding, but I've been ovulating on CD17 and my husband leaves on CD15 :(

Think you're more likely to catch if you DTD 2/3 days before ovulation so that could deffo work!

our timings are terrible this month. Due to ovulate the day after DH goes away for 4 days so basically out this month before we even start. Will try and catch the beginning of my fertile window but doesn’t seem very likely for us annoyingly

Which day are you due to ovulate and when does your partner go away??💖

JM1997 · 20/04/2024 10:18

@GSD2024 yay!! I love the feeling when AF finishes and you can go again, keep us updated lovely. It is so hard when the days don’t align with your partner being off don’t they. The day I ovulate we are actually in my parents caravan 🤣🤣 I am hoping to ovulate before hand though, and then I won’t need to worry about not catching the ovulation!

JM1997 · 20/04/2024 10:17

@Hannah4850 there was something I read where they stated that as soon as you start having sex more regularly it really affects the heaviness of your period. Yeah I think we are doing it every other day as well for the ovulation, so we did it on Thursday, and then I’ll take one today, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday ☺️ we have got this 👏🏻

GSD2024 · 20/04/2024 10:05

I think next Sunday, so still a little while to go, what about you @Hannah4850. I’m starting to test my LH from today, so will keep an eye on the progress x

Morning ladies, just catching up as I’ve had a busy few days.

my AF finished last night so I’m ready for next week 😂😂 it’s hard as we are so busy during the week it’s hard to DTD, but will try and catch the right window.

xx

When are you due to ovulate babe??
I'm lucky my partners 4 days off coincides this time 🤞🏻

@JM1997 thanks babe!
We're testing with opks every other day incase we ovulate early from when I come off my period (tomorrow last day hopefully) but it's just been when I wipe this month definitely a light one!
