As the title suggests, is anyone else starting the TWW tomorrow and wants to join me? I’m hoping this is lucky cycle number 7 šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Started some new vitamins this month including extra b6 and it seems to have regulated my bbt a bit and I ovulated a few days earlier too, usually don’t ov til cd18-20 but cd17 this month, at least it’s less time to wait šŸ˜‚

Hiya I'm on cd 7 as well!
App says I ovulated today but opk says I haven't yet!

How you feeling this far in? Have you dc already?

I have 1 and conceived first time without opk's or anything and expected second time to be just as quick. Starting to feel less hopeful as time goes on.

I was taking vitamins but have changed to 7 seas ttc now. DH is taking well man conception so feels like it should have happened!

Hey @waitingvpatiently! My app is like that too, I temp as well and my app it always says I ov same day as peak opk but not sure that right šŸ¤”

Getting a bit fed up really but trying to stay positive! It’s hard as when you’re trying everyone around you seems to get pregnant. No we’re trying for our first, I did conceive a few years ago before we were ttc but sadly ended in mc at 7 weeks. We weren’t really in a position to try again until end of last year so feels like the longest wait ever!

Ive been taking conceive plus vitamins thoughout plus omega 3 but also started this month on extra vit c, e and b6, heard the b6 can regulate your hormones and my cycles vary by a few days each time so hoping it helps! Dp is also taking wellman conception and vit c and e 😊

When do you usually test? I try and wait until 10dpo but sometimes cave early haha getting less obsessive as time goes on though, to start with I was testing from 5dpo 🤣

Sorry @Bellesjp didn't realise you had replied.

Hows it going?
I'm due af next sat/ sun. Already I have these annoying symptoms that make me think I could be... like I've had the last 7 months!

Have you had a Covid vaccine? I have and since, every tww my boobs are so sore - never got this before it.

I've decided next month is a month off opk's as it's beginning to really drain me and I worry it's affecting ttc.

@waitingvpatiently know what you mean with the symptoms you have every month? But find myself thinking it still could mean something šŸ™ˆšŸ˜‚

I’m due fri/sat next week so we’re close. No I haven’t had the covid vaccine as had heard about it messing up peoples cycles and didn’t want to risk it, I’ve had covid so hoping I might have a slight immunity from that instead šŸ™ˆ my boobs are so sore this month which I usually get but funnily enough after id had covid I didn’t get that or any pms for a few month so wonder if that stopped ovulation or something!

Have you tested yet, I’m planning to tomorrow if I don’t wuss out lol just don’t want to see a bfn!!

Oh yeah I know what you mean with the opks, I don’t find them too bad but temping stresses me out a bit every time I get a temp dip! I guess if you know when you ovulate then they’re not needed, I’ll still have to I think as ov varies from about cd16-21 and don’t want to miss it!

@Bellesjp ahh that's a big window for your possible ovulation date. Mine is usually day 15 or 16 and a regular 27-28 days but after the 1st vaccine I didn't get a peak and I think cycle was like 21 days!

I think if I'd have known what I know now about the covid vaccine I wouldn't have had it, at the time having it seemed the only sensible option as I sometimes work with very vulnerable children and young people who most likely wouldn't survive covid... just hope it's not cost me a bfp. Don't blame you for not having it- especially having had covid, hopefully you've got an even better immunity.
When did you have covid? Are you ok now? Scary stuff.

Well my boobs also seem more tender than previous tww's and it's so annoying as you're so right- it's always a bit of hope.

I usually test from 10dpo or 11dpo and look at the test in different lights/ at different angles etc šŸ™„ on day I didn't realise I'd used an opk thinking it was pregnancy and obviously there's always the definite faint line and I was shaking and everything... was gutted when I clicked. Thankfully it was minutes not hours/ days!

I have 2 pregnancy tests in the house atm- an expensive clear blue and a cheap basic one left. Done on purpose so I don't drive myself mad! I'm trying to hold off til Friday/ Saturday or even not test al al and just wait for af.

Hi ladies,
I'm 4dpo, can I join you? :) cycle 6 TTC.
Zero symptoms so that's good because there's nothing to get my hopes up. 🤭🤣

Bellesjp · 12/07/2021 13:20

@waitingvpatiently I know what you mean about wishing you hadn’t had the vaccine but i think you were sensible to have it given with who you are working with 😊 so don’t beat yourself up! I had it at Christmas, first month ttc as well so don’t think that helped! Yeah I was fine Thankyou, luckily only mild!

That must have been gutting using the opk by mistake, how horrible for you ā˜¹ļø I’m always paranoid I’m going to pick up the wrong one!!

I tested this morn at 10dpo and bfn! šŸ‘ŽšŸ¼ I did the typical looking at it in diff lights and shining a light behind it šŸ˜‚ made myself think I saw something but actually there was nothing there! Hopefully it was a bit early as was feeling positive this month but we shall see.. my boobs hurt so much it even hurts to walk 🤣 good luck for testing friday.. if you can wait that long haha!

Hi @lilrosemarie! Welcome of course you can join 😊 are you trying for your first?

waitingvpatiently · 14/07/2021 20:20

@Bellesjp have you tested again?

I stupidly tested today and of course bfn. It would have shown something so I'm out this month.

Sick of this 😩 I had more symptoms this time too.

Hi @lilrosemarie šŸ™‚

Good luck both x

lilrosemarie · 14/07/2021 20:23

@Bellesjp yeah, we're trying on our first. 😬 hope it happens soon šŸ¤žšŸ» and for all of you too!! :)
