Thanks for the advice @KT199 ! I had the cramps on Thursday night and I read from a gyno that's the fluid that escapes when the egg is released that irritates the lining of the fallopian tube, so I'm thinking ovulation happened there ... (also keeping this in mind to make myself feeel better because in all honesty we don't have it to DTD again after 6 times in a 10 days interval 😂 we're not that sex crazy ....
Next cycle if unlucky with this one we will probs only DTD during the rise, on peak day and 2 days after. Saving our energy (but obvs we had a right ovulation nightmare this month!)

Potentially yes! I’ve never really felt ovulation, had little twinges like once/twice.
I know what you mean, it is a lot!!
I was going with that this month, until I got my peak and was told via BBT I ovulated on same day so don’t even know if we really had a chance this month tbh 🤣.

Our bodies work in mysterious ways, why are cycles always normal and predictable until the point in time we need them to be 🫣

@slothbat aw wow congratulations that's so cool. How many dpo are you???

Heartypandaa · 02/11/2024 09:56

@Lila34830 i hate when this happens! If we aren't already confused! Well i would dtd again, i believe LH surge just tells you you are about to ovulate, but i depends on how many hours later, it could be up to 72h, that's why taking bbt is important (i never done do it to be honest) but i do trust the Ewcm and would dtd again today. Gooodluck u got this💪🏼

@slothbat congrats soo so happy for you💫

Lila34830 · 02/11/2024 09:22

@slothbat so excited for you !
2 bfp this month so far. Very happy for you guys.

I have a question, I have ecwm this morning, but peak was Thursday. Should I ignore ? Can it be leftover ? 😭
Shall I DTD ?
We didn't DTD last night but we did Wednesday and Thursday (peak day)

You can get EWCM a little after ovulation too.. it’s upto you if you DTD you still could be in your fertile window if you ovulated late yesterday as the egg lives for 24 hours

Hey lovely! I'm 10DPO tomorrow contemplating testing but not sure?!! How are you all doing?

Let us know how it goes!
everything crossed for you x

Does it sound mad to not want to - to not face that disappointment again? I don't know sounds odd but it is so disheartening getting a BFN!

Completely understand this and still put myself through it this month 🤣 1/10 do not recommend.. I’m outta tests now and I’m hoping I’m strong enough to not buy any next month!

QuirkyPiglet · 01/11/2024 19:36

@Frenchtoastie I’m so happy for you!! I’m sending baby glue so that the pregnancy sticks 😂

Tysm !xx

Heartypandaa · 01/11/2024 19:44

@slothbat you can do it 💪🏼
As for the symptoms, i didn't have any except waking up very early and starving 🤦🏻‍♀️
Sending baby dust 💫

slothbat · 01/11/2024 19:39

Heartypandaa · 01/11/2024 19:37

@slothbat i'm doing just fine.
You said you were only 10dpo, i would hold on just few more days to test, i have just unlocked a new fear of faint lines since CP and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. So i suggest you get busy this weekend and maybe test next week. But if u mighr have any symptoms i understand the urge to test! TWw should be called shitty week wait haha

That's what I'm thinking! Just to wait until Tuesday and see! I think all the early testing is so stressful!! And just to relax over the weekend! Nope no symptoms 😂😂😂

How do you figure out how many dpo you are?
My app suggests last Friday was ovulation.
Do you literally count from Saturday?

I'm probably completely wrong with what I do - but once I get my peak I keep OPK testing until it goes down/negative then I think it means ovulation has happened?! I could be wrong I don't have a clue with all this 😂😂 it normally goes down after a day of my actual peak.

Sounds nice, enjoy.
Speaking of gym, i always avoid hitting the gym in the tww, being silly thinking it would mess implantation or something haha! do you train like would normally ? Cardio? Or do you slow down a little?
As for me planning on being outside a lot, long walks, relaxing a bit..

I'd hope to gym even pregnant so I just carry on as normal ! I do weightlifting so not too much cardio ..!
