TWW starts... ovulation day today! Anyone else?

[HaresHoping]

Hi ladies!

Anyone else ovulated today? I'm pretty sure I did after a peak OPK yesterday and now starting the dreaded TWW... my first as we're on cycle 1. I'm CD16 with a generally 30 day cycle.

Would love some company as I inevitably drive myself absolutely loco over the next fortnight 😂

Any early symptoms I can look out for to keep me occupied?!

Good luck to everyone!

[Jaymar]

@xRRx Ah how exciting, enjoy seeing your little one

[xRRx]

@HaresHoping how are you girl?

[xRRx]

@Jaymar aww amazing news, I'm so pleased. Have been thinking of you too. I have mine tomorrow, weird it's on a Sunday! Feeling quietly optimistic:) Will keep you posted xx

[Jaymar]

@xRRx have you had your 12 week scan yet? I’ve been wondering how you got on. I had mine on Thursday and thankfully all looked good so I’m feeling a lot more optimistic. Hope you got good news too if you’ve had yours.

How is everyone? I'm currently 10dpo and not tested because I've zero symptoms plus was sick with my sinuses week of ovulation. There's a possibility we could have caught it but doubtful! AF due at the weekend so May test then - temp took a huge dip the last 2 days too but now back up 🤷‍♀️

Acupuncture is going great still too - she didn't go near my abdomen in case I'm implanting but did lots of calling and cooling as I've been so hot in the night recently.

Hope you're all well ladies sending baby dust x

I'm 11 dpo. Not looking for symptoms just want to get to af then test 😬😄 I'm so sick though, can't keep dinner down for two nights now. Not pleasant!
Tempted to do a test sooner just to rule out pregnancy so can deal with this sickness.

Planning to rest soon? 🤞

@Jaymar we've got this 💪🏼❤️

[Jaymar]

Ah that’s brilliant @xRRx I’ve been wondering how you’d got on. I feel a lot better knowing I only have 3 more weeks to wait.

[xRRx]

@Jaymar aw amazing news!!

My little bean was also measuring a few days bigger and heartbeat fluttering away! Such a lovely experience 🥰

The next few weeks need to pass quick! X

[Lolajames]

Oh @Jaymar how lovely - bet that was a relief. Congrats on another milestone ❤️

[Jaymar]

I had an early scan today at 8+5 and blob was measuring 9 weeks with strong heartbeat. Phew! Another little milestone down.

I’ve always fancied acupuncture, sounds like you got great results @Lolajames Good luck with the TWW 🤞🏼

[Lolajames]

Hi @WonderCity yes the therapist said it would defo be the reason my sinuses flared up! Apparently it unblocks anything and tbh I had been having hellish headaches which have now gone!!! I went to my appt on Monday and my god it was amazing - never been so relaxed and very different from the first one.

She said that even if I'd already O'd the treatment would help by providing blood flow to the uterus and help implantation. As it happens my temp and FF app have now said I O'd Sunday so I'm pleased with that and keeping everything crossed 🤞 Now officially in the crazy 2ww and really going to try and not over think it this month 😩

How's everyone doing? x

[Veronika13]

@WonderCity that Brought a smile to my face, how adorable 🥰

[WonderCity]

@Lolajames that’s interesting what you said about acupuncture. I’ve had it done but not as a stand alone thing just as part of being at the osteo so it was never relaxing. Isn’t it meant to detoxify the body? Is this why your sinus flared up? Hmm I’ll have to ask google lol

[WonderCity]

@HaresHoping another month down. I’m sorry, it’s not easy is it, and some days it’s actually really s*. That said you’ve got it right, it I quite empowered to know oneself so well. Maybe I should be saying something like #girlpower? How 90s of me.

Although I’m not officially there yet I know af is gonna show probably tomorrow. If not it’ll be the day after. This month has flown buy with as you said new business plus moving house. Trying to move house with an 18 month old is proving a challenge guys. This little joker spent ages “hiding” and then jumping out at me. As well as putting random things in boxes and taking organised things out of boxes.

[Lolajames]

*feeling down

[Lolajames]

Sorry @HaresHoping but you've defo got the right attitude - enjoy that lush order! At least you have avoided December baby lol - I would never turn one down but everyone I know born in December is a bit pissed off about it 😂

I had to have a few days off as I was feeling blessing and got a sinus infection last week so barely did any bd'ing. Luckily I had a record 10 days of flashing smileys 🤦‍♀️ which turned solid yesterday.

We bd on Saturday and yesterday and will do tonight so fingers crossed but with the long wait I'm not holding my breathe. My temp went up today - do we think that means I O'd yesterday?

Also got my second acupuncture treatment today which I'm on two minds about - know it is supposed to be amazing but I was so poorly last week with my sinuses after 🙈🙈🙈 Xx

[HaresHoping]

Well here comes AF! I feel weirdly relieved that I know the signs I saw this morning were right. In a funny way it's reassuring and empowering.

Right I'm off to spend too much money on a Lush order so I can have a ridiculously indulgent pamper session on Thursday night while my husband is out for the first time this year in someone's garden 😂

Hope you all have a good week, catch you in a few days when I start obsessing again 🤪😂😘

[HaresHoping]

Good luck @Veronika13 🤞🏻 for you that the TWW goes quickly and you get a BFP 💕 let us know how you're getting on!

Hey @WonderCity been thinking about you, hope the business stuff is going well? I bet it's been a whirlwind for you. Were you moving house too if I remember rightly?! Like you say it's never certain until you see AF so fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP - only takes one go!

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's AF on the way for me but I'm confused why my RHR went up so much. Maybe it's another chemical in which case I'll consider starting asprin next month and see if that helps in case I have clots.

My temp has dropped prematurely which is strange but I do sometimes have 29 day cycles as well as 31 day cycles so could be that I'll come on tonight rather than Tuesday as predicted.

At least I'll understand my body better after this and will know more for next time. The RHR really does seem to have trolled me - I was convinced it rising 3bpm overnight meant I'd had implantation... ah well. Onto the next one like you say! 💕

[WonderCity]

Hey everyone. Sorry I’ve been so quiet. It’s been a busy couple of weeks but I have been stalking this thread. It’s nice to see some new people joining in with the fun. Welcome everyone!

@HaresHoping sorry to hear about your BBT. I guess you can never say never exactly but you probably know your body quite well. Ttc really ramps up your awareness of things. I’m pretty certain I’m out this month too. Not even sure what day I am. 11 or 12 dpo. I did a FRER this morning bfn but I also have a very typical upset tummy that I get in these few days. I didn’t have much hope this month as we weren’t able to dtd on the days that we wanted. Oh well hey, on to next month it is!

[Veronika13]

Sorry to hear @HaresHoping 😬 af is only a few days then can start again x

It's my ovulation day, dtd today and for the past 3(or 4) days.
I've eaten healthy, slept loads. Had alcohol which I regret but hey ho. Now we wait. This is my first month of ttc so will be interesting when I'll do the first test 😂 plan is to wait till my period but reading on here I don't think I'll have the patience 😁

[HaresHoping]

Ahh fantastic congrats on the ovulation @Mummygemma123 🥰 hope it's a good month for you.

I think I'm out ladies. BBT has already dropped below coverline and AF not due until Tuesday/ Wednesday. Bit gutted as we did everything we could this month. Not to worry... onto the next cycle.

[Mummygemma123]

Ovulating now and so excited 😂 I have a really good feeling about this one 🥲 so nice to finally find ovulation buddies 🥰

[HaresHoping]

So I caved already and tested... BFN at 12DPO. I do feel like I can now hold off until either AF arrives or this Friday, whichever comes first.

[HaresHoping]

@xRRx I am a div... I meant the 2nd! Good Friday anyway 😂 thank you v much, what will be will be and I don't have too long to wait if AF arrives on Tuesday, at least I will know then. Having a few v light cramps but I've heard that can be a pregnancy symptom so could go either way...

Oh bless you, it must be really tough. I'm crossing everything for you that you have a lovely experience with the scan. Hope the next few days go by quickly so you get to see your little bean! It's an anxious time anyway isn't it without having suffered an MC previously and also being in the middle of a pandemic. You're doing so well! Just keep going. Let us know how you get on with your scan xxx
