Ovulation/TTC thread 4!

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @GemB03 @MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty @plantbasedlondoner

New thread as the other one is about to go!! Defo forgotten a few peeps! Please add ladies!

@MrsRosaline there are so many bugs going around at the moment! Hope it gets better soon!
I used to test first thing but on my last cycle I changed to testing around 11am ish. I always got my peak in the pm for some reason but whenever you test it will pick it up. Hope you get peak in the next day or two! Xx

@MrsRosaline I tested about 6:30 am then 6:30pm.

@newtolineofduty I'm looking forward to it. But worried it's too early🙈

@Aims1991 @hoola23 got a high this morning 🤞🏻

@MrsRosaline oh exiting. Go for it 😜

@MrsRosaline Yey that's great! It's always so reassuring to see those smiles! I always tested in the morning but funnily enough the month I conceived was slightly different. I knew I was getting close but my monitor didn't work in the morning so I tested when I got home from work instead and it was peak! So I'm wondering if I caught it earlier than I usually would have done if I'd waited until the next morning! My plan after that was to test twice a day once I knew I was getting close xx

Ah interesting @newtolineofduty. I've never actually caught a peak in the evening - I think it's all the water I drink during the day? But I'll definitely test again when I get home from work!!

Absolutely no symptoms today and I'm riddled with anxiety 😢 I know that's normal but I can't wait to my scan on Saturday to reassure me

@MrsRosaline I definitely think it's worth a try!!!!

@Aims1991 I don't think anything else will reassure you other than a scan so it's great you have it booked! X

Lovely to read everyone's news. I've been trying to pass the time - feels so boring counting down to a period and it's CD 25 and no sign yet (not pregnant as didn't DTD this month until the last week due to DH throwing out his back). Sorry to hear your nausea and sickness is so bad @hoola23 Do you find anything is helping so far like the usual remedies (ginger etc)?

@Aims1991 best of luck for your scan on Saturday

@MrsRosaline I didn't get a peak this month either - hoping to test again next month. Bit worrying!

Afternoon everyone, how is everyone doing?
@MrsRosaline have you got a peak yet?

I am getting full days of heart palpitations, I suffer these during AF so it's not to strange but I have these all day long along with nausea now😭

@Aims1991 I've had that on and off too hun x I just try and do some deep breathing when it feels at its worst xxx

@Aims1991 heart palpitations are incredibly common in early pregnancy. If you think about it, your body has to pump extra blood now for little one's supply as well as your own, so your heart is having to work harder 🙂 xx

@Aims1991 my first symptoms is always heart palpitations actually! And no, I have not yet got my peak. Actually OvuSense and FF seem to think I ovulated on 11 December, but I don't think that's right as it would be CD12 (too early for me) and I had low readings 🤷🏻‍♀️. Had some EWCM this morning so suspect ovulation hasn't happened yet...

@MrsRosaline oh yey! Glad things to be moving along for you! Hopefully you'll get peak in a couple of days! Hope you're keeping busy!! 😉

@plantbasedlondoner the wait for AF is the worst!! Even when you know you won't be pregnant! Yeah the sickness is NOT fun!! Nothing seems to help and can only keep down peanut butter on toast and tea! 🤣

@Aims1991 I think what @newtolineofduty said is right, until you've had scans you won't relax so just try to take each day as it comes. I know how you feel, I coughed today and suddenly got a sharp pain and genuinely thought I'd just coughed or pushed it out of me! I'm really not thinking about every little twinge or symptom as I will go insane!!!!! What will be will be for me and I'm confident it will happen again if this one doesn't stick. Keeping everything crossed for your scan, I'm sure you will be fine X

Still no peak and both apps still suggesting I ovulated on CD12 which just doesn't make sense. I'm on CD17 now and getting fed up! Been having lots of pulls and twinges and I'm half wondering what the hell it is! 😤😡😠

@MrsRosaline I often didn't ovulate until cd17/18. I was always later even tho I have 26/27 day cycles. Don't lose hope yet

@MrsRosaline what app do you use? I always found the apps were absolutely awful at tracking my ovulation. The only thing that I ended up using was OPK's and just my EWCM. Xx

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 I track BBT with OvuSense. I've put a picture. I normally ovulate around CD16-18, but nothing so far this cycle. OvuSense seems to think it's already happened. 😕

@MrsRosaline that is strange as your chart would indicate an ovulation pattern on cd12! Did you have any ewcm around then? You can get high days after you ovulate too. I always got them in my TWW. After my chemical I had two late ovulations then it was brought forward to cd 13 so it's not impossible. Did you DTD around cd 10--12 at all?

It's so strange. I also use Mira to see exact hormone levels and they've also put it at CD12, but I never saw an LH rise. I've put the picture. The clearblue OPK also read low that morning. I didn't really have any cervical mucus I don't think. We DTD CD8, CD10 and CD12 so if I did ovulate then I am in with a chance but I'm not sure!!!

@MrsRosaline in that case, you're defo covered if it was cd 12 so I really wouldn't worry. Keep testing and see what happens with the opk. That's so annoying though! Why can't things just be simple hey! If you did ov on cd 12 how many DPO would you be now?!

@MrsRosaline just like @hoola23 has said, if you ovulated on CD12 then you're deffo covered 🙂🙂 especially since you'll have DTD on the actual day of ovulation and will have done it on the lead up to as well.

Are you still DTD as well? Xx

@CShandy01 @hoola23 yes we've been doing it everyday as I figured that ovulation would happen around CD16 🤣

Oh and 5DPO I guess! If it actually did happen on CD12...

I'm 10DPO today and got a faint line. I have been experiencing all sorts of symptoms as well. I will test again for the next few days. Could this be it?
