TWW STARTING!

[Mymedusa24]

One dpo today, ovulation confirmed by positive opk. Started taking Fertilty Support for Her this cycle and hit my peak at 200 on Friday morning and experienced a cramping pain on the left side of my abdomen later that evening (first time I’ve ever had ovulation pain before)! Started cycle 5 this month! BBT is also beginning to climb! Anyone starting their ttw?!! Eagerly waiting to see what will become of this month!

@MummyMilla Oh no! That’s too funny though! 🤣 But I bet, I would be too! 😝

@MummyMilla that's exciting! FX for u. I woke in the night and had cramps for a while, was a bit weird for me. 7dpo I think, af due Tues. Mind obvs went into overdrive at 2am

Thanks everyone :) I woke up today feeling like a new cycle is just one step closer to a positive.

Everything crossed for you @MummyMilla!

Sounding positive for some of us! My cycles are between 28-31 days since coming off the pill, but last few months have shortened to more like 28 so I'm expecting AF could be due any time.

Feel a bit crampy this morning, I'm starting to wonder if I ovulated late, felt so sickly last Friday, had a few spikey twinges day before and I wear a Fitbit and it was around then that my heart rate peaked so possibly that was when I ovulated, definitely going to test for ovulation next cycle! Xx

@MummyMilla
Fingers crossed for you, that could be a good sign. It's so tricky with all the timings and the variables, only a few more days to wait 🤞

Woken up to quite a lot of grossness in my knickers this am. A little worried that this may be af early but it just seems odd given how much dates line up and the fact I've been like clockwork every month for 28 day cycle. Let's just hope it eases off vs gets heavier...

I think I might be out for this month 😢
Temp took a big dip this morning, below cover line, and has been coming down for a few days.
Woke up feeling a bit crampy, so feel sure that period is on its way - due tomorrow or Saturday.
We will see but I'm thinking probably not this time.

@Hopeful2020 I hope you're not out! Fingers crossed it's just a dip and will be back up.

I've woken up really crampy. Like period cramps... also achey hips.
If AF is gearing up to come its flipping early, I'm only on cd19. It's not unheard of though.

Wow I've missed loads! Catching up...
@Mymedusa24 I'll have a look see what's what, thanks for the advice. Sorry about the pizza haha, OH just ordered one without me knowing so around 10 mins after I got home from work it arrived and I was like "who is that?".
@ELW85 aw no, sorry to hear. Best of luck on your next cycle x
@MummyMilla does sound like it, have you had any pains to go with it? I've not had any bleeding (that I've noticed) but I did have some very sharp pains + dull ache afterwards. I'm hoping it wasn't me just convincing myself.
@mummy21l do you log your data via an app? I use Ovia and it gives you a choice of logging which side you've had pain to track ovulation.
@Hopeful2020 Try to hold out if you can, save the extra disappointment of more negatives which is disheartening. Just a few more days! 
@keanubelieves cramps are a good sign if AF not due til Tues!
@Treaclepie19 Good idea with the gin, my sisters brought me some back from her holiday which is nice but I'm trying to not have any as I went overboard on my birthday silly me! One or two shouldn't hurt though should it. May even help us relax a little eh!
How are you getting on @CreekyBeaky ?

I'm getting pains in my boobs this morning which is odd... and they're feeling a lot more painful in general too, but then again they did last month before AF so who knows!

@ELW85 thats the spirit! bfn is horrible but new cycle is a new opportunity
@@MummyMilla hope its implantation and not af for u! and same for u @Treaclepie19

I don't drink now but when i was pg with ds i had a couple of pints twice in the week before i got my bfp - one of the big signs for me was that i couldn't handle them i didn't feel too bad about drinking as i think before ur placenta has developed it doesn't pass to the embryo?
sorry if its not a lucky month for u @Hopeful2020, i don't know anything about temp charting so wont roll out the old 'its not over until af shows' but will keep tentative fingers crossed for u

after last nights cramps i'm feeling awful today, slight headache, more mild cramps and just feeling crappy, shaky and sick. not getting hopes up as its all similar to what i get befdore af anyway!!

Yep I'm out, period came 😭
I'm so confused, it's day 26 today, so a very short 25 day cycle. Last month was 30 days!
I've been tracking just over a year, and It was all like clockwork for months and months, pretty much 28/29 days with ovulation on day 15.
But as soon as we've started trying it's gone haywire! Ovulation this month was day 12, last month was day 17!
Wondering if I'm focusing on it too much & gone hyper-aware & by worrying I've skewed it?
Maybe I won't track next month at all!
And the implantation thing totally threw me, the timing was perfect so I was sure that's what it was! So now I don't know cos I never normally get spotting, should I be concerned?
Hoping July is my lucky month, both my children were conceived in July so maybe! Also means I'll be on holiday for the next 2WW so hopefully it'll be easier to get through.

I feel like I could have a cry right now but got to get through the day at bloody work.

Arghhhhhh!!!

Hope everyone else ok, thinking positive for you all xxx

Aw @Hopeful2020 our cycles can be so weird and I think u especially notice when ur watching so closely! Onwards and upwards ☺️

@hopeful2020 I am so sorry to hear this. I too am wondering what's going on as my bleeding is feeling rather like af (albeit a bit lighter). However, boobs are still tender and I have the dull ache that's been around all week. My period has NEVER been early before either, which is the only thing that's giving me some hope!

I've just got to hope that it tails off as they day goes on. Hate this SO much :-(((

@Hopeful2020 - so sorry to hear you’re out this month.
It was an unexpectedly short cycle for me this month too, so I know how upsetting it can be.
We will get there, and it’ll be the best news ever :)

Getting lots more cramps today. but i've remembered that my last cycle was 29 or 30 days, not the usual 31/32, so i could be due in the next 2-3 days - which would make the cramps totally expected with af iminent! will try not to think too much about it, what will be will be

@Hopeful2020 Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that!! 🙁 I know how you feel with the confusion. My cycles were like clockwork too, but they’ve changed since TTC. I wouldn’t overthink it though! Way to be positive about next month! It’s a disappointment to say the least, but ELW85 is right! It’ll be the best news ever when we get there, and we will!!! 🙂 Hope your day gets easier, xxx

@keanubelieves

Thanks ladies, it's so disappointing, I feel pretty bummed. It's easier to think "well I knew I wasn't anyway!"
I'm confused about the possible implantation bleed (or what I thought was) wondering if something did implant but didn't take, which I don't know if that's worse? And I'd never know anyway.
Still, didn't even get to test this month so no disappointing negative tests, and hopefully saved for next time.
Onwards and upwards, still early days, like someone else said, we can try again in a few weeks!
For me, it's almost better if it's later in the year anyway - I currently have to drive my daughter to school, 25 mins away, I drop her off on my way to work. When she starts secondary in Sept 2020 she can walk to school as it's over the road. If I had baby 3 next Spring, I'd still have to drive her to school at 8am with a newborn, so a few months later would make all the difference with this!

Anyway, going to sulk today, then get this period out the way, then let's go again!

Hopefully some good news for you ladies 🤞❤️

@Mymedusa24
Thanks lovely, so frustrating. I've just had a quick look though my data and I do get a 26 day cycle every few months or so, so must just be one of those things.
How are you doing? Not long for you to wait now? X

@hopeful2020 - I get the odd 24 day cycle about once a year and the rest are like clockwork, so just one of those things I guess!
Enjoy some chocolate and get yourself geared up for next cycle :)

I’m off to the docs soon to talk about my blood results. Keep everything crossed for me, ladies!

Tested 11dpo bfn 😑

@Hopeful2020 I like to believe there’s a bigger plan in all this than our own for the greater good. ❤️ Fingers crossed next month will be your month though! 🙂

I’m doing good though, two more days in the waiting now (according to my app anyways)! My temp is starting to act a little weird but then again it’s not really dipping yet, my cramping almost seems to be coming a little more, but still seems far in between them coming & going. Other than that, my cervix is still high but is starting to feel closed? I don’t know what to think of any of this.. So I’m just waiting to see what is going to happen now! 🙂

@ELW85 I hope your visit at the DR goes good for you!!! 🙂 Good luck!

@ELW85
Thank you - fortunately there were donuts in the office this afternoon so I did indulge! It helps doesn't it?!
Good luck this afternoon, keep us posted with how you get on x

@Mymedusa24
Yeah it will happen when it happens I guess, just have to keep the faith and fingers crossed. I think there is still value in tracking, I'm just not feeling it today. Tempted to have a month off it and just DTD every other day in that week or so and wait & see if period comes.
Sods law says it's next month like my other 2 so I'll end up with all the birthdays close together!

Hmmm it's difficult as it can all be so conflicting and a lot of second guessing. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait and not long til you can test & get good news! Rooting for you 🤞

@Hopeful2020 Yes it will! And ya know, that’s not a bad idea! Actually, I think that’s a great idea! I may end up doing the same! Do some LH tests to confirm ovulation (maybe lol), only take my temps to let them sync to my app (so I would still have them), but not track any of it! It would take a lot of the pressure out of it all!!! 😀

But It could happen! That would be really sweet! 😊

And it really can be!! (😑 lol)
Thank you so much though!!! 🙂
