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?

I found the 'one step' strip tests really faint - I think if you're gonna go for it, use a CB early or first response... So much easier to read!

@Mama09876 glad its not just me, i've gone from "i'm gonna wait until my period is late" to "when is too early to test" 😂

😂 I know all the comments all over the forum about how af symptoms are just the same as pregnancy but honestly I never really get any af symptoms, apart from tiredness from the drip in oestrogen and I get very moody just before it arrives! But this month my boobs feel so tingly! And I’m struggling today with tiredness and motivation. I just feel a bit off/different. I know I’ll look stupid saying all this if my test is negative! 🙈

I just don’t want to see a faint line I need to be like a yes or no 😂 I mean Saturday I’ll be 11 dpo? Maybe I will test then 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@Mama09876 yes it was for us too, hense why there's going to be a near on 5 year gap 🙈
I had achy pains inside - almost lightning crotch sensations, but dull, not fiery! If that makes sense 😂

Exactly the type of pains I’m having! I thought it’s like when I was heavily pregnant and you get that lightening crotch but not as painful! My boobs are hurting today as well.
im now tempted to test on Saturday rather than Sunday 😂 I just want to know if it’s a positive/negative! But I’ve got plans on Saturday so i need to just find some will power and test on Sunday as planned! 😂

13dpo, period due on today/tomorrow.... And I think I'm going to step away from the tests 😂
Need to find something else to occupy me every morning!

@Mama09876 @luckyduck93 I have everything crossed for you both!

Congratulations!! So pleased for you!

Hopefully a lucky thread for us all x

Here's my temps for reference too!

Yes I have one, he's 4 🥰 still in shock to be honest!

Thanks @Dullblue1234 thats helpful to see your temps! And the variations.
I’ve had some dull aching pains in my groin for the past week now most days so I’m hoping it’s a good sign! I had them last time & don’t get period pains. I hope I’m not reading to much in to it and getting my hopes up.

I’ve got a 3 year old and it’s felt like much more of a bigger decision to have a 2nd than it was with my first! Think it’s cause you know what to expect 😂 whereas with my first had no idea how hard it was going to be 🤣

@LuckyDuck93 i have a good feeling this month! Especially if your temps are still high as well!

@Dullblue1234 Congratulations!! Those are such strong positives as well. & to see it say ‘pregnant’ always makes it feel more real! 😂 I can’t remember if I asked is this for first? Or do you have children? Amazing news! X

That’s good news about your temp @Mama09876 !! Fingers crossed!
Mine is also still way higher than usual, although I’m fighting off a bit of a cold so that could also be why!

I’m 9 DPO and itching to take a test!! 😂 but I’m holding out, promised myself I don’t want the disappointment so waiting till Sunday! Not long now.
my temp has gone back up this morning, which is a positive and I’ve been so tried I’ve been asleep for 9pm most nights! But I dunno if that’s cause work/toddler/due on!
When are you ever not tired with a toddler? 😂

hope you’re all doing ok ladies!

Hey @CadoAvo !

I can’t see anything on those pictures but 10dpo is still really early! Give it a few days and try again 🤞🏻

Show quote history

Thank you. I so hope it's the start of something. First pregnancy I had a clear positive at 9dpo, 2nd one was a squinter at 10dpo but digital confirmed. So I feel like I'm doing something wrong if I don't have a clear positive by 9dpo 😂 which I know is silly. I just wanna knooooow.

10dpo and pretty sure it's a bfn but I can't help but thinking I can see a shadow/start of something. But only when I tilt/squint/focus etc. Photos aren't picking anything up and pretty sure my eyes are going square and maybe I'm only seeing something because I want to see it so bad.

This is hard 🥲

@Mama09876 certainly feels lucky! My main symptoms were tingly nipples (which was weird, as not really had any sensitivity in them in 3years, after a year of BF!) And lower back pain....Also had on and off cramps. This all started a few days after conception.
Fingers crossed for you!

@luckyduck93 ooh not long then! My temp has also stayed up (with some fluctuations)🥰🥰

Hey! I'm all good thank you - lines are getting stronger, even though they're across different brands 😂
Took a Tesco one today which is 25m/hcg and got a line so starting to believe it!
My period is due tomorrow, so think I'll do an early digital tomorrow and then stop testing 😂😂 it's just so addictive, but I'm 4 weeks today 🥰

Any plans on when to test? X

Amazing news!!
I think I'm probably going to wait until my period is due which is 2nd, apart from the raised temp I've not got a single symptom really so going to try and wait until then, I've got another busy weekend with family so don't want to be feeling down if i've got a negative x

Amazing! So glad they’re getting stronger for you! I’m hoping this is a lucky group!

I plan on testing on Sunday I’ll be 12 dpo by that point and day before my period due. I’ve got a digital in the house but if my temp goes back up tomorrow I’m going to order or pick up a normal test ready for the weekend!

How are you feeling? You notice anything different?
im still getting on and off pains in my groin and my boobs do feel a bit tingling but that can be period due although I never get period pains (very lucky I know!) so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!

Comparing my temp to when I was pregnant I did have a dip around 6 dpo. So I’m hoping it’ll increase tomorrow! 🤞🏻

@Dullblue1234 how are your tests looking? 🤞🏻

I’ve had a tingling in my boobs the past couple of days, I’m hoping it a good sign but I’ve had a drop in my temp this morning! Just hoping it’s maybe implantation? But starting to think maybe not our month.

LuckyDuck93 · 26/08/2024 15:17

Work will definitely be a good distraction.
Ive had literally not a single symptom, although I know that’s probably fine for being this early, you second guess everything though don’t you!

Mama09876 · 26/08/2024 13:41

I’m at the stage where it’s far to early to test but I’m thinking about every different pain/change in my body 😂 I’m 6 dpo today, temp is still high which is good. I’ve found my
conversations and notes from last time I was pregnant and I just keep comparing 🙈 hoping to be back in work and be distracted tomorrow!
how’s everyone else feeling?
