TTC - Ovulation

[MrsRosaline]

Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

Are you on the app @newtolineofduty? There are two arrows in the top right corner, one pointing down and one pointing up. If you press that it will swap the thread around.

@MrsRosaline brill thank you!

Pms in full swing here but no period! I think this wait for the inevitable period is the most frustrating! X

AF arrived! I'm just glad she's here to start a fresh cycle!!! I'm pleased as I'm back to my usual 28 day cycle this month-hoping last months 32 day one was a fluke!

How's everyone feeling? @jkm2793 how are you doing!? X

@newtolineofduty we are very similar cycle days! I am on CD3. Had Covid jab yesterday and have been feeling very poorly today. Will be monitoring ovulation closely and see what happens this month. To top it all off, period has been horrid this month! Very heavy and painful ☹️ I genuinely thought I was going to be pregnant 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi ladies. I’m so sorry your AFs arrived I know you feel it took me 2 and a half years with my first and 2 with this one so I know how annoying it is but you can start afresh this month and I really hope it happens for all of you !!

I feel ok I’m trying not to think about it I’m definitely more anxious and worried this time around and I’m only 4 weeks so super early will just take each day as it comes thanks for asking xxx

@Jkm27933 I don't know how you coped-it's such an awful process. Really hope all goes ok for you xx

@MrsRosaline if you had the feeling, and it's been very heavy, so you think you may have had a VERY early miscarriage?

I was thinking I was potentially pregnant as I've got all those weird bumps around my nipples as well as mucus and nausea so decided I'd test in the morning then AF came! Just shows you really can never tell. Hopefully as a result I won't be as bad with the symptom spotting next time x

Nope you can never tell! I did wonder that myself, but all tests were always negative, so I doubt it!

CD 6 for me now!

Hi again all, so sorry you got your AFs as well. Glad all seems to be going well for you @jkm2793 😀.
I'm on CD10 now so almost that time again, I think as much cycle was so crazy it seems to have come around quick this time. Probably going to start having a go from today on wards. My app says my estimated fertile period is starting on CD16 but I have had 28 day ones before so better cover all bases! X

@LittleDoveLove keep us updated this month I hope this is your month xxx

Hi ladies! Will you monitor ovulation @LittleDoveLove? I'm CD 7 and feeling more chilled this month! My main anxiety is that DP won't be able to 'perform' every day over my fertile period and I'd like to do it every day ideally this time! X

Hey ladies,

Do you mind if I join in? I am CD12 and got a peak yesterday! We have DTD CD7, CD9 and then CD11 which I am glad about as we probably wouldn't have covered those days with not testing.

We have a one year old soon and it was unplanned, therefore, it's all very new to us. I'm enjoying using the Easy@Home strips, I just hope it's fairly accurate.

How are you all feeling? I've enjoyed reading this thread! Sending baby dust to you all x

Welcome @babyboybluex! Xxx

Thank you so much @newtolineofduty x

Hi @newtolineofduty I think I will but we also plan to DTD every 36 hours (sounds very formal doesn't it 😂) so don't miss the window. I will probably use the sticks yeah but I won't be following like I did last month as it just confuses me. I might track my temp to see if I shows anything, I find it more interesting than anything. But just makes me feel like I'm doing something especially with what happened last month! Partner said thinks we are being to clever with it and to just have a good go at it. So yeah that's how we've ended up with our new plan 😂
Does your partner know what causes him to feel stressed? It is knowing the window?
Hi @babyboybluex of course, welcome 😊 x

@LittleDoveLove it's only happened a couple of times but yes he said that he has an awareness that he NEEDS to climax and the pressure gets to him! It's NEVER been an issue outside of TTC! We had a good chat the other night though and he's confident it won't be an issue again-he feels it was the pressure of it being the first cycle, but now we're on to the second he's feeling more chilled like me.

I'm planning to start with the clear blue strips on Friday!!! It has come round really quickly actually! X

I am CD9 today @LittleDoveLove so we are very similar! I did every day of fertile period last month and it clearly didn't work so no idea what to do this month!!

@newtolineofduty how are you doing?

@babyboybluex welcome!

Thank you @LittleDoveLove + @MrsRosaline - so kind x

Hi all can I join in? I’ve just mc with an unplanned pregnancy and have had my first AF since so ready to start TTC as made me realise how much I want another baby!! Will be looking out for tips and tricks as never really properly TTC before….

Flashy smileys are back, wonder how many ill get this month 😂

Hello @Lulumam of course 😊

@Lulumam so sorry to hear about your mc too x

Omg @LittleDoveLove I came on here to write exactly the same thing! 😂 Day two of flashing smileys for me. Now the wait for the static...

Welcome @Lulumam! Sorry to hear about your mc. Some people (me) go mad with OPKS whereas others like to play it a bit cooler... !

Good news on the flashing smilies @LittleDoveLove abs @MrsRosaline! I'm day 10 tomorrow so plan to start with my sticks then! Do you guys DTD every flashing smiley day too!? X
