Hi ladies I’m hoping one of you lovely Wise people will be able to help with a question . So I’m pretty sure I felt ovulation pain in my right side at 1am this morning ( I’ve always been aware of it and it was pretty strong ) so that would be on a day 16 of my cycle . As we were still awake I thought let’s just go for it now as it won’t do any harm and ensured We dtd before going to sleep but my question is would it already Have been too late by that point ? And is there any point continuing to dtd regularly now? . Does the pain generally happen before or after ovulation occurs do we know ? We previously dtd every day from day 5- 11then missed out day 12 dtd again days 13 & 14 and missed out day 15 as I was too exhausted and really not in the mood to keep going 🙈 . You’d think I would be clued up having had children before but this is the first time that I’ve actively tried and really paid attention to my cycles . I always just went with the let’s see what happens before . I’m planning to try out some ovulation sticks from next cycle to try and cut out some of the guess work but Appreciate any thoughts on this current cycle thanks x

@VP91x urgh bloody flashies!! I hope that peak comes soon for you lovely ❤️

Hi @Girlmum83 😊 last week, I thought I was in my tww, and I was watching tv around midnight and suddenly felt those familiar ovulation pains! I was confused because I thought I had already ovulated, so I did a cheapie opk (lines were very strong) and a clear blue opk (flashing smiley). I carried on doing the cb opk and got a peak a few days later and confirmed ovulation with bbt. So for me, I got the twinges before and ovulated a couple days after that. I've read that the twinges could be brought about as follicles stretch before they rupture and release and egg. But apparently it can be different for everyone and you may get it before, after or during ovulation.

Are you using any OPKs or tracking bbt to track ovulation? That may help to put your mind at ease Xx

@micht4 @he88 thank you! Any little thing that can help a bean stick will help :) x

Hello can I join, please? I have started TTC this month after a miscarriage at almost 12 weeks in March and one at 6 weeks last October. I have two DD. Was scared to download this app, and start again.

My miscarriage was incomplete and I was really very ill passing the baby and the placenta two weeks apart and having a massive bleed resulting in me having to go to hospital in an ambulance.

Hoping for smoother Sailing if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again x

@Girlmum83 sorry, I just saw that you said you are going to try OPKs next cycle. I would carry on dtd for a few days just to make sure that you're covered, if you're not tracking with anything else. Have you noticed any changes to CM?

Welcome @LittleBrownBaby ❤️ I'm so sorry for your losses, that sounds awful. This thread has some of the most wonderful ladies, I hope that you feel supported here.

How are you feeling? Xx

Thanks @Rainbowhope11i think il take your advice and just carry on to be sure I’ve given it my best shot . I had a big lump of egg white Cm when wiping on day 9 so was pretty convinced that I was gearing up for ovulation then but nothing else at all really until yesterday ( day 15 ) when I noticed a big increase in amount of creamy cm followed by cramping and sharp familiar ovulation pins which lasted from 1am -4 am this morning . Such a minefield all this but I’m picking up lots of helpful tips from this wonderful thread which will hopefully help me along the way . I’m trying hard not to get my hopes up for this month as it’s the first attempt so Off to do some research on opk’s and bbts now to help pass the time . Wishing you all the luck in the world for a successful month 🙏 x

I’ve been offline all day as I was at a bbq! So happy to see we have another BFP! @ttcin2020 congrats!!

Thank you so much @Girlmum83 ❤️ and best of luck to you too!! Xx

Thanks guys! Sorry for the late response it's been quite a hectic day lol

I didn't do anything differently, in fact the only thing I did was DTD CD10, CD11 and CD13 - according to app I was ovulating CD12.

I did have ewcm around CD10-Cd15

No OPK test or anything but this was the first month I actually timed DTD with my fertile window for once

Hey @Girlmum83 I agree with what @Rainbowhope11 said that you should continue to DTD daily for at least the next 2/3 days to try and cover yourself 😊 fingers crossed it works 🤞

@LittleBrownBaby so sorry for your losses and you went through such a tough time but, welcome to the group. I hope you find some support here and sending you lots of luck for a new pregnancy.

Are you tracking in any way? Xx

Oh wow! Didn't log in yesterday and missed some great news-congratulations @Niisa and @ttcin2020 ! You give us hope ☺️ May I please ask-did you feel implantation and did you have any spotting at all? X

@Eli2020 thank you! I think I did have implantation pains actually, as I was going to work Thursday evening I had ovulation like pains that made me catch my breath. It only lasted as long as getting in the lift and going up two floors maybe!
I guess it could be anything but that gave me a sneaky feeling I might've been lucky this month. I do obsess over reading the conception threads on here though so I wouldn't be surprised if I convinced myself of it hahaha x

@Eli2020 oh I didn't read the spotting bit sorry! No spotting this time! I did two days before my BFP with my miscarriage so I was kinda expecting I would but not this time x

Thanks @VP91x I’m going to attempt to keep going for as long as I have the energy left to do so . My OH gleefully reminded me last night that we’ve gotten lucky before and our youngest daughter was conceived first try during a month long marathon ( 10 years ago I might add .. I’m not as young as I once was 😴) .I’m trying to avoid it becoming a chore . Can feel my enthusiasm dwindling as the days go on but would hate to think I had missed an opportunity . Looking back on old posts And comments from another forum last night I noted that I’ve said I was sure I felt ovulation pains on day 16 and conceived on day 18 🤔 ( I have a 30 day cycle ) when I had my bfp with the twins that I miscarried so I’m sure another few days won’t do any harm 😊 I can slowly feel this ttc journey taking over all my thoughts already so going to try hard to distract myself with other things whilst keeping a look out for lots of lovely bfp posts to keep me motivated along the way 💕 x

@ttcin2020 @Niisa what were your pregnancy symptoms this month and how many dpo did you get BFP? I’m 6dpo and trying not to symptom spot. I’m sneezing, vomited in my mouth slightly twice lol my legs are so sore like tired and swelling and slight stabbing pains down below. Also couldn’t get drunk last night at all while at a birthday bbq.

@girlmum83 it’s all so consuming isn’t it? I’m actually considering maybe giving ttc a rest if I don’t have a sticky bean this month

Just catching up, congrats @ttcin2020 🥳 so nice to see two BFPs yesterday xx

@ManchNic I know it's crappy to see AF arrive but just see it as the chance to try again and in 4 weeks you could be celebrating a BFP xx

@Renna sorry it was a shitty day yesterday but sounds like you turned it around in the evening with the bunch of flowers and a nice evening with DH, hope you have a better day today x

@Rainbowhope11 hope you had a lovely birthday 🎂

CD2 for me and I'm focussing all my energy over the next 3 days on mastering this bloody menstrual cup (just seems to leak all the time) , it's actually a welcome distraction from TTC. Hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday 😎

@2020wish symptom spotting is the worst but not long until you'll know 🤞🏻
I got the faint line yesterday at 9DPO and today a much stronger line and BFP on a digital.
Mostly the different thing this month is my boobs hurt from right after ovulation where normally it's a week before my period. And normally they're very swollen and hurt all over but they're less swollen and more sore, my nipples feel on fire 🤣
Oh and I had a horrible tummy upset at 3DPO could be completely unrelated but I never suffer from an upset tummy but this was awful.

To be honest though I've felt better in this 2WW than I did last month before my period! Might just be last month was off because of the MC.

Fingers crossed your BFP is just around the corner xx

Morning! Happy Sunday!

I don’t know what to think any more 😂 look at my OPK this morning after that low yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️

In Ava news, both RHR and breathing rate still ramping up, and my temp took an upward curve last night so maybe I’ll get my bigger temp peak in the next day or two? No idea 😭
Can the temp go up a bit and then spike, so rise over a couple of days? Mine only went up 0.3 degrees last night. It doesn’t look like a peak on my chart because I had some high temps earlier on

Ahhhhh wow congratulations @Niisa and @ttcin2020!! Brilliant news. So nice to have other people from this thread joining me in BFP land. How are you feeling?

I'm still checking for blood every time I go to the toilet, and I don't see me stopping until February

@MichT4 Think 0.4 degrees temp increase is average so 0.3 degree temp increase after 1st day is good after ovulation, as long as it stays high that's indicating that ovulation is done ☺️

I wouldn't worry too much about High/ low now on femometer, both are negative and mine move between them after ovulation just depending on how the app picks them up xx

Thanks @SmileyT. I think you’re right, I might stop OPKs now, not sure why I did one this morning - it’s become so routine 😂.

Interesting re temp. So it doesn’t matter what it was in the weeks leading up to ovulation, it’s just an increase now to look out for?

Hope your new menstrual cup challenge is proving successful xx

@MichT4 what I read is that if the 3 temps after ovulation are higher than the 6 temps directly before than that confirms ovulation but if there is one random high one you can discount it as may be down to other factors. Currently T - 0 cup - 1 but I've still got two or three days left to play with 😂

Thanks ladies 💕💕

I had quite a few symptoms I can't lie 😂

• around 4/5 dpo I started feeling nauseous and had heartburn (which hasn't left yet)
• 9dpo I became extremely exhausted to the point where I'm napping at least once a day.
• 10dpo I got my heightened smell back so was noticing smells I only ever noticed whilst pregnant and I was hot all the time

All these symptoms I had during my pregnancy and not since my MC so I was suspicious but thought it's too early to test since it's only been 3 week since last AF started. I never get spotting except when I had MC and my boobs are sore-ish. Not anymore sore than just before AF. I did get a few sharp pains in abdomen but I've been having those since MC so I ignored them 😂

Hope that helps!
