Anyone about to go into an ovulation week?

Hey!

TTC our 2nd been putting it off for a while but this month I’m going to be actively trying and testing LH etc
reading other posts feels as though everyone is already in there TWW this Aug 😂 so looking for company, anyone whose still waiting for their ovulation week.

I only used BBT when falling pregnant with my first but haven’t being doing it as regularly as I did back then.
Ive been trying to take my temp the past couple of weeks and natural cycles predicting ovulation on Weds!
what’s everyone plan of attack? 😂 I’m going to use LH strips from tomorrow onwards and as soon as I get my peak start DTD! Very sceptical it’ll happen this month with it being the first official month of trying but we shall see!
Hoping for some company if anyone is at a similar stage in their cycle?

@Mama09876 it has been cooler the last few days overnight, maybe your room is colder, I find that my temp is a bit more all over the place during cooler months, having said that it’s also cooler if I’ve been really tired and sleeping with my mouth open 😂
@Renee33 I’m only 2DPO and trying not to think too much into absolutely everything, will try and hold off testing until the day my period is due which is 29th, not sure I’ll make it that far though!

Itonlytakesone · 18/09/2024 10:14

I'm not tracking temp but I was very hot last night woke up sweating which isn't like me.

Last time I ttc back in April I had a bad tummy & cramping 4dpo I now think this is when I lost the pregnancy (blighted ovum) as I didn't have any of that with my dd. (This day will be Friday when im 4dpo so im nervous) im probably not going to test until I feel any symptoms. I wish I had a crystal ball 🔮

Renee33 · 18/09/2024 10:04

Morning, I'm not bbt tracking but like you my cycle seems all over the place. I've been tracking with strips and I've had some dark followed by light. Today is supposed to be my Ovulation day according to Flo and it's always accurate. So not sure what's going on.

What about you ladies who are in the DPO stage, how are you doing? Anyone planning on testing very early?

How’s everyone?

My bbt is all over the place this month! It’s normally pretty consistent but it’s up and down like a yo-yo this month! God knows what’s going on.

No idea why it’s dipped this morning? It normally stays high for at least 3 days after ovulation? I took it twice this morning to check as well.

Any one else bbt tracking?

Aww bless you!

my hubby turns 28 next week and I want nothing more than to hand him a positive pregnancy test as a surprise present🥲🥲

Show quote history

Mine turns 26 end of June and I would love for him to have a baby by his next birthday. So difficult not to get ahead of yourself, isn’t it? If it happens this month then we can tell long distance family at Christmas, we’d have a little summer baby, next Christmas we could take them to Santa etc etc and I wouldn’t have to work all of Christmas week and Boxing Day as I’d be on maternity leave unlike this year :(

I’d say we could go baby clothes shopping at Christmas but we already have loads of gender neutral outfits we’ve bought during our time together at significant dates et.g. Anniversary trips, wedding so maybe would have to wait until we found out the sex to get more specific outfits.

We just want it so much. It’s so difficult not to let it consume you, especially in my line of work. I’m a vet so my job is super risky at times

CosmoMango · 17/09/2024 16:10

Hopefully it happens for all of us @LuckyDuck93
I am turning 26 this week and we keep saying hopefully next year for turning 27 I’ll have a baby, maybe by 30 I’ll have 2. It’s so hard.

Ah that's frustrating @CosmoMango , hopefully it happens soon!

Renee33 · 17/09/2024 13:36

I'm supposed to ovulate tomorrow (CD18) tests are not getting that much darker but will see. Trying to just be patient, listen to my body because I know when I'm ovulating.

CosmoMango · 17/09/2024 12:39

We will keep going @LuckyDuck93 we just keep talking about it every 5 minutes. If it happens this month we can tell long distance family at Christmas in person. Whereas we might not see them again until the summer. It’s all very silly

LuckyDuck93 · 17/09/2024 12:01

@CosmoMango mine said day 18 this month, I ovulated on 15, last month it was the opposite way around, I would just keep going 🙂
@Itonlytakesone i'm the same already, I had so much keeping me occupied the last couple of cycles, now I haven't and I'm driving myself mad already!

CosmoMango · 17/09/2024 11:38

Not seeing signs of ovulation for me :( getting a bit worried although only CD15 and in the past have ovulated CD18/19 not sure why my app was saying CD15 is most likely day. Going to just keep DTD every day and hope for the best but already feel like it won’t be this month again

Itonlytakesone · 17/09/2024 11:24

@LucyLou0527
Oh me too 1dpo 🤣 I feel absolutely no different apart from groin pain yesterday which today have gone. It's going to be a long wait. I feel like I'm going to get signs and if I don't get any then I'll probably know it's not worked

LucyLou0527 · 17/09/2024 07:58

4dpo today and I’m getting really impatient already😩

Mines exactly the same @LuckyDuck93 drop yesterday and spike today so I’ll of ovulate yesterday to!

literally no idea what happened the day before with the massive spike! 😂 I think it might have been because I was up in the night and 2hrs before I took my temp.

any way officially 1 dpo!

How are we all today ladies?
My temp spiked this morning so assuming ovulation was yesterday x

Renee33 · 16/09/2024 21:37

Grateful to have you ladies on the same page to chat to about this 😊.

Welcome @CosmoMango, that is 2 more than most of us 😁. Hopefully that will enough to get your bfp. xxx Hope we all get out BFPs 🤞

I also think ovulation is today, managed to catch my peak yesterday luckily. We can all go mad in the TWW together!

Question for you all..if ovulation is today do we also have to DTD tonight? I am ready for a day off 😅

Edited

This was my thoughts yesterday 😂 I opted with that one time should be enough, I was so tired other wise 😂😂

@Mama09876 iv had groin pains and iv also been very hungry today. I'm glad I managed to dtd even once because that was even pushing it with both jobs etc
Next month I'll have so much more time though if it doesn't work this time. Af due 30th Iv just ordered box 2 his/her conception vitamins from Amazon, finished last box yesterday. Loving this little chat feel like I'm definitely not going through this alone Smile

I’m in exactly the same position! Job at the moment is very very busy but that should die down by end of Sept. So only managed it the once! But I will say with my first we only did it 3 days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation. I think it was the 3 days before that worked!

Grateful for this little chat 🤍 and ladies in the same position.

I think the best is day before peak, peak and then day after x

CosmoMango · 16/09/2024 19:18

Hi all, Think my ovulation should be tomorrow. We have DTD Sat, sun and will this evening

@Renee33 @Mama09876
Let's all just leave it at once this month see if it works for any of us Smile

Renee33 · 16/09/2024 18:51

Just like you we've only dtd 1 in my fertile window and even though I have some time before I ovulate, the way me and the hubby are bickering this week it's unlikely that we will dtd again this week 🤣
