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!

@WonderCity if we hadn't got pregnant this month we had mentioned not trying in March to avoid Xmas baby but the chance of an actual Xmas baby is so so slim! I say go for it.

Ps @WonderCity I hope you're on that wine girl!!!

I know we shouldn't worry too much about months but I was so happy knowing my first pregnancy was going to be a summer 2021 baby. Spring would be the ideal but with time almost not on my side, every month certainly counts and now November will be special. Hopefully we'll be more back to normal by then and can have a amazing Christmas with all the fam ❤️

I think things will be lots better by then but I'll be having a quiet Xmas regardless family is tricky on both sides ! I know what you mean I was desperate for a June baby and that's what I got but then I was stuck not going anywhere due to lockdown and couldn't eve enjoy the nice weather that much it took my 4 months for my wound to heal from my section!

Forgot to tag @xRRx

@mrssunshinexxx I'm just 4 weeks today. I have to self refer online to my hospital. I did that on Monday and already have my 8 week booking visit appt end of March

That's amazing @xRRx something to look forward to. I don't self refer in my area so I'll give them a ring next week

I’m going to self refer on Monday. Haven’t decided on an early scan yet this time round, but we are leaning towards getting the Harmony test which I think would mean getting a scan at 10 weeks.

Our first due date was April, which would have been lovely, but early November means being close to bonfire night so we can celebrate birthdays with fireworks 😃 I think a Dec birthday would be great. January less so - everyone skint and on diets 😆

@Jaymar I thought you have the harmony tests at your 12 week scan?

@mrssunshinexxx I’m in Scotland and I think the NHS have started doing them if your results from the usual 12 week scan measurements come back as very high risk. But we are thinking of getting one done privately anyway just for some reassurance. Think it can be done from 10 weeks onwards.

Ah ok maybe different areas are different. We won't be getting it again

Morning everyone. Think it was a chemical for us unfortunately. Nothing on the FRER this morning and started with brown spotting a few hours ago, thought it would be implantation bleeding but just been to the loo and seen red blood and clots. Such a shame but not to worry - will try again next month. Best of luck to everyone still waiting for AF and who already had their BFPs ☺️ xxx

Really sorry to hear that @HaresHoping best of luck for next month. X

Ah that’s such shame @HaresHoping. Hope you get some sunshine and a huge glass of wine today.

Thank you ☺️ off to get a massive joint of beef to eat in sandwiches with a bottle of red! Feeling okay about it now. It's a good sign that I can get pregnant so keeping positive xxx

I’m sorry @HaresHoping. It absolutely rubbish to have your hopes raised like that and then have af arrive. If you’re trying next month then I guess we will be on the tww at similar time. How long are your cycles normally? Btw I am already obsessed with charting and I think I have you to blame for that

Ahh thank you @WonderCity. Honestly feel fine about it now but we were a bit upset this morning. Oh god I have created a charting monster! 😂 my cycles are usually 30/31 days long, how about you?? Will be nice to have a buddy ☺️ we are going to just crack on I think. Slightly concerned if we are successful my OH will have to then deal with 3 December birthdays (me and my mum are just over a week apart 😂 our close friend is then a week after me too...) but wouldn't be too worried about that really. How are you feeling? I must admit I am DELIGHTED that OH is coming back with wine shortly 😂

Said close friend mentioned above welcomed a little girl into the world early hours of this morning, which has given me hope. As has the beautiful sunny weather ☺️ xxx

@HaresHoping all the best for next cycle! Enjoy the wine in the meantime!
You are a pro with your charting and only having ttc for 1 month! You really are on this I have no doubt your BFP is on its way soon x

Ah lovely news with the new baby! 💕

@HaresHoping a glass, or bottle of wine sounds perfect! I love that feeling when you sit down with a drink. It’s like instant de stress. We have similar cycles. Anything between 28 / 31 days for me but usually 30. I’m getting better at using the opks and now with charting I’ll be able to see when I’ve ovulated Im sure. So we’ll be repeating this next month! I’ve come around to the idea of December birthdays I think. Also my due date would be December 4th. That and last time I had gestational diabetes and I wasn’t allowed to go passed 38 weeks. So really it would be anywhere close to Christmas. It would be the cycle after.

Thank you so much @xRRx really kind of you to say. Hope all going well with you, got everything crossed it's nice and smooth for you ❤️ yes the new baby is a proper belter! 9lbs2. My friend is a hero!

Hell yes @WonderCity the bottle will be polished off today 😂 ahh that's good with the due date. If my cycle stays the same I would be due around same time I think. Good time of year, just gearing up for the festive season! Let's both have a nice chill for a few days then and then it's charting ahoy ⛵️

And hellooooo Aunt Floooow

Yes, that’s me out! What a roller coaster of a week!

I have four beautiful bambino’s and have never experienced the two week wait before. I have a new level of respect for anyone ttc and going through this month after month. It’s been exhausting!
This is me out out, as we are not ttc and my fifth baby, my business, is due to re-open having been closed due to the pandemic. I will be starting the mini pill now and focusing on ensuring that flourishes. It’s certainly made me realise maybe I could squeeze out just one more beautiful fresh human... they are worth it all, and more, aren’t they?

The energy and dedication I’ve seen in this thread, the love and the passion, the commitment - what wonderful Mummy’s, Mummy’s to be, and soon to be Mummy’s to be you all already are. Giving you’re all to this. I admire you.

Good luck to those who have life beginning.

Good luck to those who are life creating.

May all your dreams come true.

Thanks for the laughs, making my madness feel normal and putting up with my drama lama!

Good bye for now!
