Anyone want to do the TWW with me? I’m currently 3dpo. Had very high lh surge that lasted 2days this month (never had that before) hoping it’s good news 😂🙈

Oh really!! I do too recently I even said to my partner Saturday “must be a fat egg” 😂 that was about 10am, apparently you usually OV approx 12-24 hours after that pain and we DTD 8:30 Sunday

Yeah normally but I actually get a positive lh the day I ovulate I get horrific pain and also egg white cm so I know it’s defo then and the next day I’m dry and it’s done lol also proven by scans and tests but yeah weird lol xx

Makes sense! So you ovulate after you’ve felt the pain then I guess! I hope that’s the case with me too ☺️ it’s so exciting but so nerve wracking too right?

mummato1xo · 21/08/2026 12:38

No way that’s crazy!! And do you find when you have pain it is at the same time as the LH surge ?

Yes, on the day I feel the pain, the LH test is at its highest.

I get awful ovulation pains when its my right ovary. My right ovary is also always a 32 day cycle and I always get lower LH peaks around day 17/18.

Other months I have no pain and always a 30 day cycle and higher LH peak (like ratio of 1.4 sometimes) - I assume must be my left ovary. Oddly both times I conceived have been on cycles that I think are left sided (no pain, higher LH peak around day 14/15).

@strawberry780good luck to you too ☺️ it’s good you rested LH ! I did that with my first but haven’t this time round and honestly I’m confused if I’ve even ovulated I’ve based it on the ovulation cramps I’ve had 😂😂 so can’t see it being my month

I’m 6dpo today and it’s killing me lol! I’m not sure when to test this time round, with my first I tested 7dpo on easy@home and saw a faint line! But I think I’m going to leave it for a bit , if I can

Oooh!! Good luck!!

I was so chilled. I'd actually been told I'd struggle to conceive so went into it thinking we were trying to run down the clock of trying long enough to get help! Did a test at 10dpo as I was going on a night out so figured I'd do a test as was gonna be drinking and it was a super clear positive! Then had a nervous breakdown obv.

This time just feels so much higher pressure. I know how much I want another, I don't want to keep extending age gap, and my job (contract work) means in another couple of months I wouldn't have a job to go back to, if went on much longer than that no occupational maternity pay.

I tell myself I won't test until my period is due... I don't think I've made it to even 10dpo without testing yet 😅

Conceived first immediately, now I'm in cycle 4 ttc #2. I had a chemical cycle 2 so hoping 4th cycle is the charm!
