Anyone about to go into an ovulation week?

456 replies

Mama09876 · 15/08/2024 11:53

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?

Thank you @Mama09876
I got this clear blue this afternoon. Terrified something will go wrong but have booked an early scan for 3 weeks time and will tell work tomorrow I think

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed they stick
No idea what happened @Renee33 we were on holiday so I wasn't paying as close attention. I also don't usually get noticeable ovulation cramping. I had a bit of a sore back on CD13/14 but we averaged 34,000 steps a day whilst away so I just linked it to that.
We used conceive plus lubricant every day also not sure if it made a difference (cost a fortune)

Itonlytakesone · 26/09/2024 15:30

@CosmoMango
To be honest you deserve it the amount of times you dtd you absolutely covered everything there. I think I'll need to step it up🤣

Renee33 · 26/09/2024 15:14

@CosmoMango that looks positive. Congrats I hope it sticks. What do you think happened this cycle? Do you think you ovulated early but just missed it? Did you experience ovulation cramps?

Itonlytakesone · 26/09/2024 15:12

@CosmoMango absolutely so clear that line. Mines stark white and I'm 10dpo aswell. Mine and @Mama09876 don't look like yours so congratulations. Nerve wracking times I know but it looks like it's your month . Please stay on here keep us updated as I'm back to square 1 after my af on Monday

LuckyDuck93 · 26/09/2024 15:07

@CosmoMango definitely positive!!
Wonderful news!

CosmoMango · 26/09/2024 14:10

Thank you! @Itonlytakesone So it isn’t just me…Hopefully it’s a good sign? I did one with 2nd morning urine (I know I shouldn’t really) but I can see it on that one also. I’ve ordered some early first response and a digital. Surely both tests can’t be wrong? It’s so early though I’m frightened to feel hope. I looked online and if it is a true positive it’s 2.5 times more likely to have a good outcome than bad

Itonlytakesone · 26/09/2024 09:32

@CosmoMango oh I can definitely see a line!

CosmoMango · 26/09/2024 09:31

I’ll wait a few days I think the latest I could be is 10DPO but who knows with this weird cycle @LuckyDuck93 I still have the intense stretching and pulling around my uterus that’s been going on for days

LuckyDuck93 · 26/09/2024 09:28

@CosmoMango that first one definitely looks hopeful though, maybe you just need to wait a couple of days?

I'm 10 DPO today and really fighting the urge to test, although i've just got this feeling that it's not worked this month!

CosmoMango · 26/09/2024 09:12

When dry there isn’t much colour to it so I think probably got my hopes up for nothing

CosmoMango · 26/09/2024 09:04

So my LH did not rise @Mama09876 i took this this morning on a whim. Am I seeing things? Is this an indent or is there a line here?

Itonlytakesone · 26/09/2024 07:51

@Mama09876 yes when it was drying possibly but no it's definitely dried white.

I'm feeling bloated. No actual pregnancy symptoms and bfn still on tests so I'm going to stop wasting tests now and accept it didn't work. I definitely felt like an egg got fertilised though iv felt activity all the tww just didn't work out this month unfortunately. How clever is your body for recognising that though. Oh well on to month 2

@Mama09876
Yes iv just been reading about failed implantation and it does sound like what iv had today pain wise.

It could be! Never know. How you feeling this morning?

@CosmoMango i personally wouldn’t go off the numbers and just the look of the LH tests you’ll see if they’re getting dark/darkest. How did your test go last night?
I would say if you’ve had all the other signs earlier in the cycle you’ve most likely ovulated then? Or I’ve read some people can ovulate twice in the month?

Im 11 DPO today and another stark white! I thought I was going to see something when it was drying but now it’s dry it’s white! Never mind. Going away today so we’ll see if af arrives on Monday!

CosmoMango · 25/09/2024 20:09

So confused! I’d told myself I likely wouldn’t ovulate/I’d missed it. My LH is 0.56 this afternoon. I usually get my highest readings around 11pm so going to test again later. Am I going to ovulate now? Why don’t I have any EWCM or other signs? I was praying I’d already ovulated now I’ll just have to wait longer for my period no doubt.

Why do I still have this awful heavy and stretching feeling in my uterus that I’ve never felt before? Was caused by the pregnacare which I stopped a few days ago?

@Mama09876
I'm so so hot like hot flush hot too. I just feel so strange. I'm writing it all on here in case it turns into anything and it can help anyone else. I'll keep testing daily with my cheap tests. Yes best to ignore them like you say. It gets a bit obsessive 🙊

@Itonlytakesone I read on here I can’t remember if it was this thread or another the pains could be it’s a fertilised egg but it’s not implanted?! I dunno. Or it could be implanting pains? You’re still early in TWW it could be implanting?

i’ve had a few pains today but I’m trying to ignore them 😂 don’t want to get hopes up! Been off my food yesterday and especially today as well so not sure if I’m coming down with something. I know there’s loads going round at the moment.

@LuckyDuck93 thats really good high temp! Positive signs. I didn’t take mine this morning cause I was up and down with LO from 4am!

i still deep down think it’s not our month. It’s going to be a shock if I do get a positive test cause I’ve convinced myself it hasn’t happened 😂

Itonlytakesone · 25/09/2024 15:41

Hi intense stretching cramping centre lower stomach. It's so bad iv barely managed to do anything all day iv been sat under a blanket! It's like period pains but I'm not due on until Monday and I don't even suffer period pains never have - I just come on no drama so this is very unusual and uncomfortable for me. Confused.

LuckyDuck93 · 25/09/2024 11:47

@Itonlytakesone I know what you mean, feels like they're everywhere.
I now don't feel any different at all, apart from the odd cramp, only thing that's keeping my hope up is that my temp has risen again but that could be anything!

Itonlytakesone · 25/09/2024 09:05

@LuckyDuck93 @Mama09876
Thanks. Keep seeing pregnancy announcements why does this always happen

LuckyDuck93 · 25/09/2024 08:58

@Mama09876 sometimes you've just got to get it out your system though, at least its done now!
Still time for you both @Itonlytakesone ❤

@Itonlytakesone i don’t know why I did it cause I knew what the outcome would be 😂 so I don’t feel to bad to be honest. I’ll be gutted if my period arrives that’s always crap but I’ve not felt hopeful this month so not really a surprise. I’ll wait till Monday now and see what happens.

You’re still really early so keeping everything crossed! Not over till at arrives! 🤞🏻
