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?

@Margo2023 I'm same then as your dates. We've both been taking the pregnacare conception him and her (dh was thrilled 🤣) I have b12 injections too - well started that a couple months ago having 3rd one tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous my last attempt ended up as a blighted ovum took 9 weeks to sort that out. I still drink wine/Prosecco a bit but I wasn't sure how strict to be with everything but I eat well

Margo2023 · 05/09/2024 16:27

Me too! CD11 expect ovulation on CD 14 or 15 however could be earlier this month as line is getting darker. Pretty new to tracking so still figuring it out. Was trying to make some healthy eating changes too and looking into whether to take any other vitamins other than folic acid.

I will ovulate the weekend 10th onwards so bit of time yet. No iv a 5 yr old dd. I'm not tracking or anything and I'm 41 so being relaxed that I'll even be successful tbh. Really wanting to see if I can though now I'm finally ready.

Yes @Mama09876 I know what you mean you get a breather for a couple weeks probably for the best - work commitments sometimes better performed when you're heads a little bit more screwed onSmile

@Itonlytakesone always good to have company going through this whirlwind 😂

@Itonlytakesone sounds like you’re doing the right things in preparation! Is this your first TTC?
In the grand scheme of things it was a blessing in disguise that I didn’t get pregnant last month, turns out very stressful period in work! But we’ll try again this month, I’m still on my period so what feels like a long time till fertile window for us.

When you due to ovulate?

@Mama09876 oh that’s so frustrating!!
My period definitely arrived this morning so at least I’m not second guessing everything, oh well, only a couple of weeks until I’m ovulation testing like a mad woman again 😂

So frustrating isn’t it! 😂 I’ve chucked them now and on to the next.
Still no period here but my temp is low again this morning so it’ll be arriving in the next couple of days I imagine! So on to the next. Only two more week to wait! 😂

Good luck with your next cycle! 🤍

@Dullblue1234 I’ve got a bar of chocolate ready for tonight 😂 wishing you a happy 9months and positive pregnancy! 🤍

@LuckyDuck93 I love the positive attitude! Looking at the benefits this cycle, and great news that the hormone balance tablets are working! I defo think positive mentality helps!

I’m the same, it was only our first month back trying so the likely hood of it happening was slim anyway! I’m going to make sure I’m more active this month and just see what happens! We only managed it once in my fertile window as well so will be trying more times next month and see what happens! 🥰

Look at my bloody test from this morning, evaporation line it’s so annoying seeing a line there but knowing it’s defo not a positive. Torture!! 😂

@Dullblue1234 that sounds like a very good plan, hope you’re feeling ok!
@Mama09876 I’m trying to take the positives though, I actually think this is just the spotting that I normally get pre-period…which usually starts around 10dpo, I’ve been taking hormone balance supplements for the last couple of months and I’ve got to 12 dpo before it starts, which is much better!

Dullblue1234 · 01/09/2024 07:37

Ahh I'm sorry to hear that @Mama09876 @luckyduck93. Pour yourself a nice glass of wine later 💕

@LuckyDuck93 aww no sorry to hear that as well! I was gutted seeing the test but go to move forward! As you said wasn’t meant to be, on to the next! X

LuckyDuck93 · 01/09/2024 07:16

@Mama09876 same here with the temp & period has started this morning..I’m feeling ok though, just not meant to be this month…onto the next one!!

Mama09876 · 01/09/2024 05:21

Big temp dip for me this morning and a negative test so wasn’t meant to be this month. On to the next!

good luck @LuckyDuck93 for this month! Let us know the outcome x

LuckyDuck93 · 31/08/2024 10:33

@Mama09876
temp has dropped a bit…but possibly because I’m sleeping with my mouth open with this cold, so attractive 😂
Good signs about your temp!

Dullblue1234 · 31/08/2024 08:04

@Mama09876 your bbt is looking promising!! So excited for you to test.

I'm okay... definitely a bit tired (might also be because I've cut down on coffee!) And finding it hard to eat 🙈 I'm getting full so quickly

Mama09876 · 31/08/2024 07:00

@Dullblue1234 How you feeling? You all ok? I remember the first trimester those early days were tiring!

@LuckyDuck93 how you getting on? Still good signs? 😬

My temp has gone up again girls! Woke up early this morning but I haven’t tested, I’m now to scared to 😂 I’m only 11 DPO and I looked back on when I tested with my first and I got a really strong one on 13 DPO so I’m going to hold out till at least tomorrow! Do I dare believe again?

@Mama09876 I think that's the best way to be!
My temp is still high but i've also defintely got a cold now, so I wonder if its just that, who knows! Although, normally i'd have a bit of spotting 2/3 days before my period and that hasn't happened yet, so I think that'll be a big sign over the next few days.

Mama09876 · 30/08/2024 07:25

@LuckyDuck93 yeah possibly! I’ll take another on Sunday just to see but I’ve got to just stay positive and just think if it’s not our month then that’s ok, on to the next 🥰
trying to not get to down about it but also get that I’m not completely out just yet.

I should have just waited! 😂 but it was defo stark white so I’m kinda ok at the moment, there’s no ‘is that a line?!’ There was no line! So least I know for now. I mean one positive is that my temp is still high, let’s see if it starts to dip over the weekend.

How you feeling this morning?

OP posts:
LuckyDuck93 · 30/08/2024 07:15

@Mama09876 oh how disappointing for you, maybe you just need an extra few days though?
Dont feel silly, it’s so easy to over think every symptom!

Mama09876 · 30/08/2024 05:37

@LuckyDuck93 that is a good plan! I caved this morning 🙈 stark white on a first response! I’m 10dpo today so I’d imagine it would have shown something!

Now I defo feel silly with all my ‘symptom’ spotting 😂 I’ll wait and test again on Sunday but I don’t think this is my month.

@Mama09876 I’ve not ordered anything on purpose in the hope it’ll make me wait until Monday 😂

Mama09876 · 29/08/2024 16:29

@LuckyDuck93 with my first I hardly no symptoms! Few aches and pains and I was really tired but apart from that (and my BBT high) I had nothing! Could easily just of been AF symptoms.
Even after my positive test I wasn’t sick or had no boob pain just felt very tired.

You watch I’ll have a negative test now I’ve said I’ve got more ‘symptoms’ this month 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve got a first response ordered from Amazon due to arrive tonight! I’m going to try hold out till Sunday, but may cave tomorrow 😂

LuckyDuck93 · 29/08/2024 14:45

I think the symptom thing is what's got in my head, like I literally have nothing apart from being a bit hormonal, but then you read other threads of people having no symptoms until a positive test. Really does mess with your head doesn't it!
I know what you mean about having the definite line though, i'm so busy this next week that I don't want the whole "can I see anything" debate, so determined to wait until Monday I think (hope)
