TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

[satsoooma]

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Hello hpnerd and stef

satsooma that is a mighty fine positive!!

dangle this is my first month trying to get to grips with opks too... I usually ovulate on CD 12 (yesterday) and have had strong lines but not sure if they are positive! I have attached last night's. Did one this morning FMU and it was darker again. I hate the whole not drinking thing as well because I drink loads of water usually so not sure if I have missed O or whether it is still coming! Also my temp had increased this morning by 0.1c
Just going to keep DTD until I'm sure fertile window has passed!

It's all hard to get your head around isn't it Ethel but that's looking good Spesh if this morning was darker still. Strange how different apps give you different estimated ovulation dates aswel! Hard work this baby making malarkey 😁 how old are you all?

Hi, I am also about to start my 2ww. I had a faint opk last night ands will test again this afternoon. I'm using them because I got a bunch with my thermometer, but I'm generally trying to make sure there are a bunch of swimmers around when I ovulate. My periods have been very regular in the last 4/5 months, so hopefully I'm ovulating today or tomorrow. Here are my stats:

Age 33
Cycle 2
Trying for #1

Yes it definitely is! I'm already convincing myself that I'm out as I might not actually o this month! I'm a bit of a worrier 😊
I find ovia isn't very accurate for figuring out your fertile window. It always assumes I'm going to ovulate 2 weeks after AF rather than 2 weeks before if that makes sense? I use it but I work out the fertile days myself going on past months.
I'm 32 and this will be our first 😊

Hello actino

Hi action ! 👋🏼
Oh really so you don't bother with an app then, well according to Ovia I'm out of my fertile window now, but I've got such right handed pains today! Going to do an opk later I think just out of curiosity! I'm 26, 27 in May! And this will also be our first x

Ps I'm also a worrier and thinking the same 😂x

I gave up on the app as it was also assuming I would ovulate on day 14. My ovulation pains were telling me different and OPK confirmed that.

I do use an app to track my temperatures and ovulation because my cycle had previously been quite variable, but I haven't been using opks until this month.

I do use Ovia but only really for historical info so I can see how long my cycles have been and record when we dtd etc etc - I just don't take the green week as being my fertile week! I also started using fertilitu friend this month to record my Temps (first cycle temping)
I think the answer is to have as much sex as possible 😁 I'm going for every day until I'm sure I'm out of my fertile week! But I did read that every other day should be enough too.

I can't imagine what kind of melt down Ovia would have given my irregular cycles (29-290 days). But I do have a massive spreadsheet where I log all sorts of useful info. I even made a graph out of it

Oooh I love a good spreadsheet!!

I think I speak for us all when I say, " we need to see your graph please"

Im actually quite jealous of you all, I never can be bothered to keep up to date with apps and such, I make a note in the calendar bit on my phone when my 1st day is then when im due on, so I know when i can start thinking of testing.

Anything ele I just forget to write down but do the opk's religiously when i think im about to OV. - I see were all keeping someone buys on ebay too by buying the cheapies in bulk

Haha a spreadsheet! I bet that's handy though! Well just done an opk and it's as white as can be so I have no idea what these bad pains in my right side are! X

Dangle I have no idea what on earth my body is doing this month either. I have had o pains and a couple of almost positive opks but also tracking CM and CP and none of them correlate! One sign could mean I have o'd another that I haven't yet but will and another that I won't at all thiso month! Wtf?! Also I read that not all women do get strong positives on opks
Also usually my boobs really hurt after ovulation but they don't at the moment! Lol
So confusing

I'll join! I'm due to test 4th March as well. Stupidly kept testing too early last month and of course kept getting BFN every time. I will NOT be doing that this month!
Good luck everyone!

Sounds confusing Ethel! Where meant to be keeping ourselves stress free but it's so hard when your constantly symptom spotting early testing ect ect!

Hi Amyfarah love the user name! Promising myself I won't test early but I have a load of Internet cheapies in the bathroom cupboard plus ONE FRER so temptation will be high!

Yes Dangle you're quite right! I think I will just stop stressing and try and relax during the 2ww (and jump on DH later, just in case 😉)

Hii can I join?

We're not officially TTC until April, but we've dtd all over my fertile week so I'm in the 2WW too, it's so frustrating isn't it? I'm due on the last day of the month so will be testing on 1st of March, if AF hasn't got me before.

Hope we fall quickly as I do not have the patience or organisation skills for charting, OPK's etc!

My graph is basically a timeline with different colours for periods, spotting, OPKs, when i start/stop different different fertility drugs, get a blood test, or have my ovaries scanned. It also has every time we DTD though, so no way are you seeing it Buddah

Welcome to the thread AmyFarrahFowler and AllThatGlitters.

Wow satsoooma you are so organised. I really hope you get your BFP soon

Hi all can I join in AF due Saturday so I'm a little ahead but the extra company whilst waiting would be great

How is everyone today? Symptom spotting no doubt 😂

Hi Stephylou 👋🏼

I got two really strong and sharp pains this evening, one right after the other. Got my fingers crossed that they were implantation related.
