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?

Anyone else just get a very quick surge rather than a gradual increase? Yesterday I had a very faint line on OPK and blank circle on Clearblue digital. Today I have my static smiley! I never seem to get flashing smileys. It all just happens so quick! Hope we are in with a chance. CD13 today. BD CD8, 10 and 12 as was trying to do SMEP.

@Itonlytakesone isnt it mentally draining!
We DTD the 3 days up to ovulation, but not ovulation day, so kind of hopeful, but then annoyed we didn’t on ovulation day which I know is silly really!

Itonlytakesone · 15/10/2024 14:06

How's everyone getting on? I'm so crap at this iv only dtd once again cd10 I'm on or about ovulation now ish but I don't track and dh is away at work. Hopefully everyone else is doing better than meConfused

LuckyDuck93 · 13/10/2024 13:02

@Plumchumm yes mine is often like that before/instead of EWCM.

@Mama09876 must’ve been that as ovulation confirmed as yesterday, thank god for LH strips because normally ovulation wouldn’t be until Monday/tuesday!

@LuckyDuck93 I’ve had them in the past but not every month. I find sometimes I get pains in my legs as well when I ovulate.

I bet it’ll have something to do with ovulation! Good sign 🥰

I am somewhat close to ovulation. I have irregular periods so I ovulate around CD20-22. I'm currently CD16 and LH tests been gradually getting darker. CM is like very thin 'lotion' or like milky. Is that normal before EWCM?

LucyLou0527 · 12/10/2024 10:54

I was expecting to get some ovulation pains today because of the trigger shot but I’ve had nothing! Last month my ovaries were in agony for two days but the month I fell pregnant I had 0 pains or symptoms! So strange

LuckyDuck93 · 12/10/2024 09:36

@Mama09876 my ovulation is also going to be earlier this month I think, based off LH tests!

Question for you all, does anyone get ovulation pains? I’ve never really had them, but this morning I’ve got full cramps on my right side & in my back, almost like mild period pains, wondering if it’s ovulation!

Loving seeing everyone is in the fertile week!
although I’m not trying this month I’m casually tracking my ovulation just so my algorithm on my app is correct 😂
this month, the month I’m not trying I’ve got loads of EWMC 🙈 always the way!
Got my peak earlier than normal as well! CD10 this month.
I think next time we try I’m going to DTD earlier than the app says cause I think I’m going in to late! We shall see next month.

Good luck ladies! Get dtd!! 😂 and looking forward to hearing all about your TWW and lots of positives hopefully 🤞🏻

LuckyDuck93 · 11/10/2024 20:33

@Possumly same here! Well, first negative that I’ve wanted to be positive anyway 😂

Hope you girls are all good, CD12 for me and LH tests almost positive, waaaay darker than they have been in previous months, don’t know if that means anything at all!

Possumly · 11/10/2024 18:16

CD7 today. I had my very first negative pregnancy test last month, so also determined to try harder this month!

Itonlytakesone · 11/10/2024 17:38

I'm trying this month too Smile cd10

Renee33 · 11/10/2024 14:17

Hi Ladies,

How are you all ☺️.

CD 9 today, actually going to try this month.

LuckyDuck93 · 10/10/2024 11:42

@Itonlytakesone I honestly have no idea about that, i'd probably just carry on as normal, i'm sure there are lots of people on antibiotics who've fallen pregnant whilst on them.
I'm CD11 today and LH tests starting to rise, my husband is home for the whole weekend thankfully!

Itonlytakesone · 09/10/2024 10:13

Iv been put on antibiotics I'm about to come up to ovulation. Would you leave it this month or carry on. Does it affect the egg? I'm probably overthinking but it's clarythromycin I know it's not good in pregnancy (im definitely not pregnant 🤪). Im stopping the tablets tomorrow my insect bite is healing now.

LucyLou0527 · 07/10/2024 18:39

I’m CD7 today so will be taking an LH on Friday to see how it’s looking and if it’s fairly dark I will be doing my first ever trigger 😋

LuckyDuck93 · 07/10/2024 15:03

Hi Ladies,
I'm CD 8 today, so probably going to start LH testing in a couple of days as ovulation usually around day 15/16,
How are you all doing?

Mirren22 · 04/10/2024 12:08

Popping in again on CD 13. Away this weekend so have my easy@home tests to track LH. Ovulation has been CD15 the last 2 months. Usually get the positive in the evening. Nice to see everyone's updates

Itonlytakesone · 02/10/2024 15:06

@LuckyDuck93
I know what you mean it's got to be a good sign about the period being horrible because at times in the past mine have been worryingly light /short. Maybe the eggs are coming thick and fast🥚

LuckyDuck93 · 02/10/2024 14:59

My period is also horrible this month @Itonlytakesone

I'm trying to look at it in a positive way as they've been really light/short since coming off the pill over a year ago, so maybe i'm finally getting back to normal!
Hope you're ok too @Renee33

Renee33 · 02/10/2024 11:03

Hi everyone, I know it has been a while. Still waiting for my period but not surprised it's late as I ovulated much later this cycle. And I know the delay is not due to pregnancy because we didn't really try this month. Hope everyone is ok? Still trying to catchup

Itonlytakesone · 02/10/2024 09:48

This period of knocking me for six I feel horrendous stomach pains nauseous everything my body isn't being kind to me. Now I feel like having a month off to try to feel normal for a bit 🙈

LuckyDuck93 · 01/10/2024 14:56

@Mama09876 Hope you've enjoyed your time away. At least you know you can relax for a couple of months now ❤
