Ovulation buddies starting July 8-14

[Tiff94]

Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

How is everyone doing so far ? Anyone else started their TWW I'm now 4DPO have been feeling rather nauseous when I get up in the morning. I know it's still too early for symptoms. I think I maybe begin testing on the 20th with IC AF expected by 24th where is everyone else in there cycles ?

I keep getting twinges in my right ovary area do we know what this means?

@Tiff94 I'm due af in 11 days! Last time I took a early detection test and had light line at 5 days to period! Do thinking in a week I can test x

@lastbany we due about the same day for AF then I'm 10/11day off on my apps

@BabyH88 I keep feeling twinges and pulling on my left side same area no clue what it is. Have google but apparently 4DPO is too early for implantation

@BabyH88 if you are close to ovulation then it's probably ovulation pain I get this almost every month changes from right side to left it's normal you probably had before but only noticing know maybe.

@Tiff94 ok thank you, well according to my app I my ovulation window at tarts today with me ovulating on the 18th. I really find a lot of this so confusing.

@BabyH88 I would say maybe you are closer to ovulation if pains are there I get them started the day before ovulation. Have you got any EWCM? If so I would get to DTD I case your ovulating earlier then what your apps say, xx

@Tiff94 yes I have had some maybe your right I suppose I just trusted the app as it is only my first month TTC. I am due to have a smear this week and didn't know if that would interfere with TTC? Do you have any experience of this?

@BabyH88 I'm not sure about the smear if it will interfere or not when you go let them know you have started TTC. I would definitely start DTD if you have EWCM that's the most fertile and you don't want to miss out this month so next couple days I would get to it 😊 I run 3 different apps and the always are a day apart from each other. But I always know when I'm about to start ovulating because I get the EWCM and the cramps. My EECM last about 3/4 days. Make sure you always enter data into the apps it give it better predictions for you so enter today that you have ovary pain and EWCM and you app might update which app you using?? I use flo, Ovia and fermometer. ( I only started fermometer this month with IC OPKs )

@Tiff94 I am using clue, I will get another app going as well to make sure.
There's actually so much to think about with all this you don't anticipate it before you start trying. So glad I can ask all of you for advice. Thank you for your help.

@BabyH88 once you know more of your cycle it's so much better I've been tracking mine for about 2years I had probably when I came on the implamon bar and went onto the pill. It messed my hormones system up like crazy. I ended up with my period for months only haveing day not on it. I went off the pill to get my myself back and now I'm regular 28days cycle and know my ovulation time because we always avoided unless protect before recently starting TTC. I like using Ovia because when entering any symptoms it gives you details of what it could be and I just started and entered my last years worth of data into femometer so I can scan my OPK sticks to get the reading only this month though.

@Tiff94 I have been tracking my periods since I came off the pill May last year so I think that information is pretty accurate now on my app, clue isn't as detailed so I have just downloaded Ovia and that has a lot of things you can input. I think being our first month it is going to trial and error. I will update you if there are any changes or more questions lol

Hey All! Hope you don’t mind me joining!

I am currently in my first ever 2WW so this is exciting though I’m a little nervous, I have never known the days to go so slow.

I came off the pill in February and my cycle has been all over the place since so this month I didn’t ovulate until CD62 so not sure how that affects my chances. OPK and Bbt confirmed the 10th July anyway so we shall see, 3DPO today.

Planning on waiting to test on the 20th! If I can wait that long

@BabyH88 if you have time enter all you data from the previous app to Ovia. A years worth of data will be plenty to help and Ovia is great with when enter symptoms it will updates your fertile window if it thinks it changes. Add as much information as you can and they give you good details about everything

@Alice222 welcome Alice I know what you mean I swear the days feel like they go so slow during theTWW. I plan on tested the 20th as well if I can hold out haha 😂 I know it's too early before but you never know.

@Tiff94 Thank you xx

Hey!

We’re month 1 after postponing our wedding too. Using flo to track which, from reading I’m not sure is so accurate. 11 days until my period so we shall see

@Rjbp20 hey 👋 do you get many symptoms around ovulation to give you an idea? Fingers crossed 🤞 it worked this month for you. AF expected for me in 10/11days too. Baby dust to everyone hopefully we get lots of BFP coming soon

@Tiff94 hey Hun! I’m pretty sure I’ve had EWCM for a couple of days but I wouldn’t say I’ve noticed anything else.

This TWW is crazy long though isn’t it!

@Rjbp20 well if you've had EWCM that's definitely a great sign. Yes all I'm doing is googling haha 😂 hopefully it goes past quickly for us all

@Rjbp20 sorry to hear you had to postpone your wedding as well, hope you are still feeling positive about it.
Hopefully this month is your month x

@Rjbp20 hello! I’ve been using Flo and Femometer. I have been finding Femometer is better for me. I like that you can take pics of your opks and tells you if they are getting darker as sometimes it’s hard to tell. I’ve never tried Ovia.

I thought I felt ovulation this time by a pain in my side. But now I’ve been told I have a UTI so that’s messed up all my symptom spotting 🙄

At least I think it’s EWCM 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m very new to this!

Yes hoping a speedy TWW for us all!

@BabyH88 ah thank you! Sorry to you too. It sucks doesn’t it. What was the hardest is that we were meant to get arrived in June and then try to conceive. I couldn’t wait any longer hence the trying now!
