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..

Hello dinos, how are you planning to spend the weekend, anyone about to test?. Wishing you all bfp 🤞🏻

Hey dino, I'm 1DPO today so bit too early for me 😅 I'm planning on relaxing ++ and hitting the gym this weekend !
What about you ??

Afternoon everyone 🩷

any symptoms from anyone?

im around 5 DPO and have been having pinching pains and pulling and tugging from pelvic area which I had with my daughter so feeling hopeful. Only thing throwing me off is it’s so early in the DPO cycle.

good luck everyone. Congrats OP who got their BFP 🥰🥰🩷🩷

@KT199 i feel you this ttc journey is no joke, take time and rest good luck to you.
@Lila34830 haha well at least you will have the weekend to rest 😜.
As for me i didnt track with opk since i had the chemical last cycle, i think my cycle might be different... but it's been 3 days since the ovulation pain so 🤞🏻

Lila34830 · 01/11/2024 09:43

@KT199 that's the spirit !
I'm currently looking at Jan holidays too ☺️ definitely a way to start the new year on a more detached / relaxed note ! Xx

@KT199 I'm so sorry, this is so disheartening ...
we will be here when you come back :) , I hope you manage to rest and reset, it's difficult to not get upset at times. Hang in there girl 🤎

Thank you, I’m actually feeling okay and positive tbh. Very glad the TWW is over and I can finally switch off 🤣 it’s actually a relief even though not the outcome I wanted!! I think I get into the depth of my emotions 5-9 DPO with the hormones being so high at that point and finally come back to my normal self once those few days pass. Keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP before Xmas, and if not we have a lovely holiday planned in the new year ☺️

@Lila34830 if i were you i would DTD today as well to cover everything, pretty much like the smep method, (didnt have the chance to try it though haha )
It's interesting what you said about ovulation cramps, i read somewhere that ovulation may happen before, after or during the cramps, so i guess dtd before/after/during the time u felt cramps might be beneficial. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
I rarely feel ovulation cramps but i did this month, i think it s because of the hysco (hsg) i did earlier this cycle)!

Thanks so much for your advice !
Omg I need to gather the strength to DTD again 😂
we will try ... but ngl we are absolutely knackered !!
To be fair I probably experienced the pain in the past but never linked it to this ! And it's the first time I experienced it since we started DTD 4 cycles ago. Fingers crossed it means proper ovulation for you and I !
How many dpo are you ?

Morning ladies.

11 DPO, did a FRER to check and definitely negative so looks like I’m out this cycle. AF due Sunday.

Good luck to everyone still in the TWW, hope we get another few BFPs!! 🪨

So pleased you found your peak @Lila34830. Hope the TWW flies by and you have a BFP at the end of it.

Im still gonna keep up as invested with other peoples outcomes, but may be a little quieter as I think I’m gonna take a few weeks to unplug and reset from this TTC craziness!

Thank you all for your support this month, it’s so helpful! ❤️

Morning ladies, happy Friday !
Can't believe I finally had my lh peak yesterday noon, and then I had what I think were ovulation cramps on one side in the evening ? Lasted for a good hour and it's gone this morning ! So im guessing ovulation happened pretty quick after my peak, like 10 hours if this is even possible ?
We DTD yesterday and the day before. Not sure we have it in us tonight as we also had DTD during my alleged fertility week last week when it wasn't 😂

How are you all ? Xxx

Good luck!! Perfect that your strips and cramps all matched up all fingers crossed for you xx

Hey @Heartypandaa!!
Gosh, what a rollercoaster. I’m so sorry you’ve been through that. Hope you’re managing to take time to recover and rest both mentally & physically. Sending love ❤️

littlebluu · 31/10/2024 19:35

Hey @Heartypandaa! Hope you're well 😁
How you been getting on?

I've just started spotting today and I'm 99% sure it's AF unfortunately 😫
But again, at least now it's a bit of a break from ttc until I start OPK again!

Edit: @Heartypandaa I just seen your msg above, so sorry you had to go through that 😔🤗

🩵

Edited

thank you 🙏🏻
ukh u hate AF spotting! Im sorry but at least you can relax mentally from the ‘the what if and the testing’ for a few days before the new cycle.

i have done some testing, blood work and hsg! Let me tell you girls hsg is no joke!

Hi @Heartypandaa so glad to hear from you ! Hope you're good ?
Well I had a drama with my LH so I had my peak at cd24 ? Something like that 🤣🤣🤣 everybody else is in 2WW!what about you ? Xxx

Cd24! You must have been stressed, i remember you said something about surgery, maybe that made your body ovulate late, hope it went well for u!
as for me i don’t know where to start, i thought i was out last month, then af was late, then i got a faint for 3 days then i miscarried… roller coaster of emotions.
