Hi all!

Anyone waiting / predicted ovulation soon and fancy going through the motions together?

In cycle 10 of TTC baby number 4.. first three were 'easy' this time two miscarriages deep.

Feeling a bit lonely!

Mine seems to have shot up out of nowhwre today so im gonna take this as peak hopefully it starts going down tonight and the TWW can begin in a day or so!!!

@Kels21 that's so strange but as others have said - looks totally normal and that you're ovulating a little early this month! I think lots of things can effect it maybe even your bug but not in a negative way xxx

Honestly all I want is to be pregnant😂 it’s been a really long time with heartache inbetween. I’m hoping for my rainbow girl 🥹 obviously wouldn’t mind a boy but 1 girl then 3 boys id like a girl to end my motherhood journey 🤍

Perfect. Never had it this strong this early before, this is my chart x hope your little one feels better soon xx

Looks perfect 👌

Wouldn't have thought so no because it's the hormone that makes the line so dark it's not like a hpt is it?

My 1yo has a bug again 😭 hope your feeling better soon xx

Is it like this though because I’m dehydrated from the bug and not actually ovulating?

@Anonymous130197 best of luck with the SMEP and hopefully neither of us needs our appointments! 🤞🏻

@thelma57 hope AF shows up soon for you, what cd are you?

@Kels21 a belter of a line - hope you're feeling better?

@LMM91x I have genuinely pulled something from having legs in the air two nights on the trot! Even DH was a bit aghast at potentially having to dtd last night and looked relieved when I said we could have a night off..getting too old for this 😂

Hello lovely ladies!

How are we?
Where are we in cycles?

I went a bit AWOL lol 🤣 but back and ready for my fertile window to begin soon!💗💗💗

Hey chick, hope your alright. Don't worry about going awol I'm sure we all will at some point 😩🫣🤣

That time between af starting and youe fertile week approaching is just shit isn't it. We get it ❤️

thelma57 · 11/03/2025 07:52

My AF still isn’t here girls 💀 but I’m keeping up with you all and wishing you all the luck in the world 💖

Whattttttttt 😩😩😩 what cd are you now?

I hope it comes real soon for you. It's so annoying. Hard enough being just a couple days late feel for you ❤️

LMM91x · 11/03/2025 08:54

@thelma57 oh my gooodnessss how bloody frustrating is that!!!!!! Hope she makes an appearance soon!!!

i'm CD13.... LH is crawling up... I think I might peak (or at least get a high reading!) today. Im checking BBT to try and 'confirm ovulation' but in reality I have no idea what i'm doing 😂😂😂😂 what fun!!!!!

We have DTD 10, 11 and then will 13, 14 I think... hope that does the trick. My plan this month is to have sec outside my window too -😂😂😂 i realised we were literally having sex one week a month - poor hubby!

You've done practically every other day, you've gave yourself a really good chance ❤️

It's funny when you realise you couldn't care less if you don't dtd outside of your fertile week 😂😂😂

We are quite active all month but bloody hell fertile week feels like such a chore doesn't it!

Kels21 · 11/03/2025 08:55

Cycle day 16 and my ovulation test is blazing! And I’ve been sooo ill with a bug the last 24 hours!! This is early ovulation for me I’m normally cycle day 18 -20 is it better getting a positive earlier? Xx

That's a lovely opk 😍❤️ you'll be in your 2ww in no time 🙏❤️

GoNoSixx · 11/03/2025 09:35

Well we didn't dtd lastnight, I just cba 😭😂

We dtd cd 12,13,14,15 didn't lastnight i ovulated cd 20 last cycle so I'm going to go for cd17 ( today ) cd19,cd21 roll on the 2ww i honestly hate dtd on schedule! We are quite active all month but fertile week is a pain in the ass!

LMM91x · 11/03/2025 09:05

@Kels21 that is a beauty of an ovulation test !!!!

i'm not sure - but better in a sense the TWW starts earlier 😂😂

Morning @Anonymous130197 - hope you're doing well? Nice to take a wee break isn't it.. When's your fertile window due to kick off?

I'm coming to the end of mine now, waiting for LH levels to drop and BBT to rise. Dreading the tww but we go on holiday soon so I'll have packing to distract me!

I got an appointment for the gynaecologist yesterday for June, so if this isn't our month I think I'll maybe take some time off TTC and wait for the appointment xx

Morning lovely 🥰

I am thank you, I'm two days off the window starting! The GP has asked us to try the Sperm Meets Egg Plan method whilst we wait for our appointment so be interesting / tiring to see how that goes 🤣🤣🤣

Ooo got the peak out the way then!! Exciting times 😍 fingers crossed for you! Oo your appointment is a similar timescale to mine, mine came through for beginning of July. It's so hard to decide what to do isn't it!

I've got 5 more days of this shit 🤣🤣🤣😩😭

Does everyone have a week long fertile window? God it's alot! That's the only good thing with using opks/doing bbt you can narrow it down so it's not such a long window of dtd 🤣

@GoNoSixx we did last night and Saturday, so should be plenty of swimmers in there waiting for the egg. I've just started BBT tracking as well so will keep an eye on that.
Definitely no chance of a morning dtd as DS (7) sneaks into my bed every night, wee monkey 🐒
Thank you, will see what the rest of today brings! x
