the 'other' TWW

[Bezalelle]

Not sure about anyone else, but I actually find the two weeks between AF and ovulation more nerve-wracking! At least after ovulation you can symptom spot. I finished AF yesterday, and am counting down the days now until we can get back on the horse, so to speak.

Anyone else??

Hi @Bezalelle I'm the same! Finished AF yesterday (now CD5) and I'm getting impatient. I should ovulate around CD17 which feels like AGES away.

We had to skip TTC last month as I had my MMR jab so can't wait to get back to it.

I hate the wait!! I'm due to ovulate on Saturday. Been tracking OPKs for the first time this cycle, which is making things a bit more exciting 😂

Snap! I get paranoid that I'm missing it, get anxious about missing my surge and generally feel unsettled! I'm on CD9 and usually ovulate late! But my cycles vary so much in length so never confident about pinning ovulation down!

I'm now paranoid that I actually ovulated on Wednesday - only cycle day 10 but it's possible. I had a bad tummy that day which is usually a sign for me. Only started tracking OPK on Thursday.

However, I'll keep tracking and keep DTD all weekend.

Heya,
I’m only CD2 but we had to take a break last month as my DP has an ongoing health issue which unfortunately was really bad in the lead up to my ovulation so this month feels like a long time coming!
Fingers crossed he is feeling more okay for this cycle!
Hopefully you will will still get a positive OPK this weekend @Bezalelle.

OH YES! I knew it wouldn't just be me. I feel bad wishing my days away but I just want that + OPK so I can 'get cracking' per se.

Currently CD 9 and not even a faint on the OPK.

I'm Day 12 today and OPKs seem to be getting darker but it's taking its darn time! Ovulation predicted on Monday according to Premom.

@bezalelle I'm day 10 today and haven't even had the faintest line on an OPK. Is that normal? Its my first month using them.

@Blossomingflower94 I usually get a positive between day 15-19 and the lines start to get darker/ noticeable a day or 2 before I get my positive OPK. It just depends on your cycle I think.

@Blossomingflower94 my line on day 10 was super faint. Getting steadily darker. I'll try to attach a pic here.

@MountAbora & @Bezalelle thank you so much for that info! For some reason I thought it would be faint all month and then peak (stupid me). Having done some research about the hormones and what not I fully understand now! Hopefully I'll get some spikes soon :)
