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?

Hi @Itonlytakesone (love the name by the way 🙂) Did you only manage to DTD once in your fertile window? 'm still a few days away from my TWW, so will l live vicariously through you for now. Keep us updated.

Itonlytakesone · 14/09/2024 05:29

Tww now started for me! Iv been so busy but I managed to dtd in a gap I had so that'll have to do for this month so let the overthinking and symptoms spotting begin 🤣🙈

LucyLou0527 · 13/09/2024 21:53

Thanks for the reassurance ladies!

exciting times ahead for all of us🤞🏼🌈❤️

@Renee33 pretty much the same! 🥰 my plan is dtd tonight then again Sunday!
last month I just covered it the day before ovulation which was the day I got my peak so thinking this month trying to get a few in and hope it helps! Need a few more million sperm there waiting! 😂

I don’t mind the TWW as much, don’t find it stressful just a bit impatient! But this month is very busy so hoping it means it’ll go quick. I’m very relaxed about it all this month, other priorities going on! Maybe it’s a good thing.

@LucyLou0527 you are more than covered 😜. Weldone! All to do now is relax during your TWW. I think I might be one of the few people who finds that time really exciting 😊 and not stressful at all!

@Mama09876 just like you likely to peak over the weekend, maybe Monday and ovulate Tues/wed

I find I tend to always get my peak at night for some reason? But when I’m getting close I do try to take it morning/night even lunch sometimes to try catch it. I’ll be doing it twice a day from tomorrow (if I remember! 🙈)

Mine have been pretty much the same the last couple of days, expecting peak over the weekend and ovulation due Monday!

@LucyLou0527 i think you’ve defo cover it there! 😂

LucyLou0527 · 13/09/2024 11:18

Hey I do morning and then try not to drink much from maybe 5:30-8 because that’s when I’m so busy after work and then I do another test

LuckyDuck93 · 13/09/2024 10:49

@LucyLou0527 @Renee33 out of interest do you ladies test morning and/or evening?
Ive been doing mostly morning until I get a rise, but I drink so much water during the day I always think my urine will be more diluted?

Renee33 · 13/09/2024 00:17

I look forward to it! 😊. Hopefully we will have more of the group joining us.

Renee33 · 12/09/2024 23:53

@LucyLou0527 I took one this evening and it's a lot darker now. I also cracked out my clear blue and received my flashing smiley, finally which indicates that I am officially in my most fertile window. 😁

Fabulous!! I think yours will look the same as mine in the morning/afternoon.

we can be 2WW buddies😊

Our tests look the same, I will test again this evening. But have a good idea when my body is heading to ovulation. When are you expected to ovulate?

@Mama09876
Oh ok great. Iv just bought some pregnancy test cheap kits on Amazon so I can test after though I'm getting nervous. I had the blighted ovum last time I tried 🙈

Mama09876 · 11/09/2024 11:49

@LucyLou0527 it’s happened to me before! I missed the peak cause I was only doing them once a day but last month when they were getting darker I tried to do it twice/three times and that’s the only way I managed to catch the peak on the strips. I found I was always darker at night as well!

@Itonlytakesone defo not essential! I think @LuckyDuck93 is right, you’re probably doing the right thing, less stress! I’m the same in that it’s purely habit now and just for me to add in natural cycles so it helps the algorithm. We’re also not an every day DTD couple so I just try and time it a bit round the peak on my tests 😂 although this month I am a lot more relaxed with temping and LH. Havent got the time for it! 😂
