@EllieWales Awwww no, I feel your pain my ovulation was later this month so it's felt extremely long!! Hoping it goes faster for you now!

Yes and my BBT dipped then went right up today so im hoping it stays up and this is the month 🀞🀞

EllieWales · 18/08/2025 15:52

@WF1990 my LH has started to surge now so the TWW hasn’t even started 😭 I feel crazy already πŸ˜… glad that you feel relaxed!

@Lh4503 a lot of people say the time they didn’t get any symptoms was the time they actually conceived there’s no telling πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ you’re doing so well for getting to 10po without testing by my standards 🀣 see how you feel in the morning

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 14:38

@Lh4503i have my fingers and toes crossed for you !!!! 🀞🏼

Hi all, been away this weekend for my little ones birthday so that took my mind off things.

@WF1990 Hoping all goes well with your test this week!

Im feeling okay, ive not even had sore boobs this time and they usually start pretty much straight after ovulation, had very minimal symptoms this TWW only the tiny amount of brown CM that has now stopped and today some light cramping. I'm torn wether to just test tomorrow (10dpo) or wait a little longer πŸ™ˆ

Hope everyone else in the TWW is doing okay and getting through it without feeling delulu πŸ˜„

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 08:06

@EllieWalesand now we’re entering our crazy phase 🀣 although I feel so relaxed so far I’ve not been thinking about it too much but it’s probs because it’s been 5 days 🀣 if my progesterone is too low on Weds I won’t even need to test as I’ll know I wouldn’t be able to maintain a pregnancy !

EllieWales · 18/08/2025 08:00

@WF1990 I missed your post there, feels like a BFN every single time 🀣 omg day 27 is wild, why are we like this??? Good luck with your test on Wednesday.

Hope everyone’s doing well 😊

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 07:58

@EllieWalesour posts crossed !
I think the peak isn’t important if you DTD ! Maybe DTD tonight in case ?

Hi @MegLS hope you had a lovely time on your honeymoon and AF didn’t get in the way too much, AF knows how to pick her times 😩 hoping the TWW isn’t too painful for you and you get your BFP at the end of it 🀞

I think I might be 1 dpo today but I don’t really know, BBT is up and my boobs were sore when running this morning. I had some ovulation type pinchy twingey feelings yesterday as well but still no LH surge and starting to think I missed my peak..

WF1990 · 18/08/2025 07:57

@MegLSfingers crossed !! You’re not far behind me! Praying for our BPFs !

@EllieWalesarrrrg !! Let me know !!! This is such a mindf*ck ! I remember cycle 3 of ttc (I think I’m cycle 9/10 now) I ovulated on day 27 JUST BECAUSE 🀣 and I used so many OPKS I wanted to cry.
5 dpo over here ! Obviously nothing to report ! Not even sore boobs !
test is on Weds and I usually get the results a few hours later with my app because it’s the hospital, pretty quick !

I shall let you all know.

@Lh4503how are you feeling ??

MegLS · 17/08/2025 21:41

Hi, I was on here last month when AF very kindly joined me on my honeymoon, but back now and am currently 1dpo. Think we timed things much better this month so have more hope than I did last month as I’d been away for work and missed my peak, this will be our third month of trying. Sending baby dust to everyone and keeping my fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!

EllieWales · 17/08/2025 16:31

@WF1990 I usually ovulate around CD12-14 with a 28 day cycle so I expected it to fall today at the latest but still no rise in LH so looks like it will be late this month. I’ve tested twice a day for the last few days so I don’t think I’ve missed it but with it being my first time using them I don’t know how quickly my surge would’ve came and went if that makes sense. I’ll test LH again this evening before bed and see what BBT is in the morning. Feel like I’m in the TWW already but it hasn’t even started 🀣 help

Good news it’s helping with PMS and keeping my fingers crossed for your test on Wednesday. Do you know when you can expect your results?

WF1990 · 17/08/2025 14:02

hey girls,
@EllieWaleswould it be possible that you may have missed the peak ? How long are your cycles normally ? I usually ovulate day 20 odd and I have a 30 day cycle, there’s no exact rule that you have to ovulate on day 14 so keep on testing !!!

@Lh4503this definitely sounds promising !!! 🀞🏼

I just had a busy weekend, I’m 4DPO and my progesterone test is on Wednesday ! It looks like the b6 is really helping with my pms which is a great thing ! No sore boobs or back ache so far and it usually starts as soon as I ovulate so let’s hope the progesterone test is good too ..!

Morning ladies, brown CM is positive at this stage @Lh4503 glad you’re feeling better today, you’re in the worst stage of the TWW but you’ll have your answer soon!

@WF1990 good that you’re busy it deffo helps to pass the time and hoping the gassiness had settled, I’ve never taken them but noted for future reference 🀣 not long until your progesterone test now is it? A few days?

I don’t know what’s going on with me πŸ™ˆ today is CD14, bbt is still low, EWCM has gone and still no LH surge. It’s difficult to DTD over the weekend with 2 kids around who never give us any space so I was really hoping to have had my peak by now. Going to have to try and DTD at some point again over the next day to try and get good coverage I think

Lh4503 · 17/08/2025 10:10

How is everyone doing?!

8dpo here, nothing major to report had the tiniest bit of stretchy CM this morning that was slightly browny so im hoping that's related to implantation 🀞 and not spotting starting! I felt a bit delulu yesterday looked, started fearing the negative pregnancy test πŸ™ˆ but feeling a little better today so trying to stay positive!!

How is everyone else? Hope your all holding up OK!

WF1990 · 15/08/2025 08:02

@EllieWalesim predicting a peak this evening for you !! 🀞🏼
2 dpo over here and taking my b6 religiously, and it makes me so gassy 🀣 but I’ve read on MN that it lengthened luteal phase for so many women.and if not, it helps with pms! Mine is really bad so that would be a win! I have a busy week next week and we’re away next weekend which will help me not focus so much on then2ww !

OP posts:
EllieWales · 15/08/2025 07:56

Thanks @Lh4503 it’s good to know it can show up differently. LH is still low this morning but BBT has dipped -0.9 which is typical of ovulation being imminent for me. Hoping I get my peak today or tomorrow 🀞

Lh4503 · 14/08/2025 16:27

@WF1990 @EllieWales Yes ive notices i get EWCM before I ovulate and I always assumed thats when I happened but actually im a bit later.

My LH doesn't seem to peak that quickly it gets very gradually darker each day and then stays pretty dark for a day or so after.

Keeping everything crossed for us this month ladies πŸ₯°

WF1990 · 14/08/2025 16:03

@Lh4503ill ne joining the delulu bus in 6 days 🀣

@EllieWalesyou can definitely DTD during EWCM ! But sometimes the peak comes a few days after EWCM started !

OP posts:
EllieWales · 14/08/2025 16:01

@WF1990 I had EWCM earlier today but still low on the LH strips. I always thought EWCM meant ovulation but guess I was wrong πŸ™ˆ I hope the vitamins help and hopefully your progesterone test this month gives you some answers.

@Lh4503 the first week isn’t so bad for me either, I find the second week is when I get delulu 🀣 keeping everything crossed for us this month

Lh4503 · 14/08/2025 13:14

I'm 5dpo today not feeling too crazy at the moment 🀣 I'm sure by early next week I will be though.

Hope everyone's doing okay πŸ™‚

WF1990 · 14/08/2025 09:38

@EllieWalesim sure you will find your peak ! You might even notice that sometimes it doesn’t align 100% with the EWCM , sometimes it comes a bit later !
omg don’t, 1DPO today, I’m taking my b6 vitamins religiously to see if It helps with my LP as I started spotting from 9dpo last month ! 🀞🏼
I’m totally fine and busy now, but rest assured that I will be insane from 7 dpo 🀣🀣

OP posts:
EllieWales · 14/08/2025 07:29

@WF1990thanks for sharing ☺️ my line was faint this morning but I’ll try again tonight and then twice a day, I can see from yours how quickly the peak came and went! Keeping everything crossed for you and I’ll be here egging you on when the TWW is driving you round the bend 🀣

WF1990 · 13/08/2025 20:29

@EllieWalesi hope you had a fantastic holiday !
good luck with the opks! My advice would be to test morning evening, cause a peak can be so short, here’s mine if that helps !
ovulation day today for me, I’m going to try and keep busy during this 2WW !
