*The TWW States* 😬😂…. Here for positive vibes as we try to create new lives 👶🍼🤞… (Ttc #1 and cycle 1 continued)

[Newbiemg]

Hello!

Continuation of our last thread…

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! 😊✨

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

@Pops100 also hello I normally start my CB's day 9ish.. x

I’m CD16 - here’s my lunchtime OPK. It says 0.7 but tbh this could be my peak, mine don’t tend to go thattttt much darker than this but will do another later on. Not much I can do about it either way as we can’t inseminate before tomorrow when I travel down to coparent but fingers Xed either the sperm from the weekend or the ones from tomorrow will find my egg :)

@lakejupiter looking good though, go you! And fingers crossed for tomorrow x

@RMS0209 The smiles start tormenting you don’t they 😂 it’s exciting for 2 days and then I’m like enoughs enough now haha

Hope you have a lovely time out with your work friends 🥂🍻

@lakejupiter Even if that’s your peak today I think you’ve timed it really well. Sperm there ready and waiting from the weekend and another insemination either on peak or ov day so fingers crossed 🤞✨

@Bluets look forward to it 🤣🤭🥰

Thanks everyone! Yeah I will wait a few days after af as they are sooo expensive, don't know for certain when my peak will be so will just see if it's similar to last month as obviously I've been on the pill for about 11 years so don't know my body at all so who knows what it'll do🤣🤣

Hope everyone has had a good Tuesday ✨✨

Update - did a clearblue after four hour hold and got my peak on that. OPKs still not quite positive but I guess I will ovulate either late tomorrow or on Thursday. Fingers Xed I've covered it after our last insemination tomorrow!

@lakejupiter chuffed to hear this! good luck with inseminations, let us know how you get on tomorrow x

@lakejupiter yay a static smile!! Fingers crossed for you✨✨✨

Bloody perfect timing @lakejupiter! Everything crossed this insemination is THE ONE ✨

@Newbiemg I’m joining you on the darker test/early CD mystery 😂 though last month did the same but CD7/8 then dropped way down til ov

@Pickles91 we are on the exact same cycle day too this time! Hopefully we ovulate the same day and have the same test day lol

I was just going to ask if anyone knows when is the earliest “safest” day to ovulate is? As in when will it mean the egg is mature enough etc?

My highest today was 0.67 so similar @Pickles91

Twins!! I guess it depends on your cycle length, but I think a “normal” LP is 11-17 days or something like that. This is possibly helpful: www.clearblue.com/how-to-get-pregnant/luteal-phase @Newbiemg

I think other people on the bus will know waaaay more than me though! @lakejupiter, I’m looking at you in particular 😉

Evening all! Sorry I've been quiet, hectic day with work and I'm now sat in the hotel room in Warrington. Lonely stuff traveling with work. I think I definitely ovulated yesterday as had some EWCM now I have the milky stuff. Fingers crossed Friday and Saturday's BD's were enough!

Hope all are well x

@SMD16 oh yeah I can't imagine must be difficult sometimes but fingers crossed for you ✨✨

Happy Wednesday!

Hurry up and get gone af I have the urge to pee on a stick 🤣🤣🤣

@SMD16 Fingers crossed for you for the tww! 🤞

@Pickles91 Thank you 😊 … my opks dropped back down today to 0.31. See how they go later.

@Pops100 Hope AF goes for you soon!

How is everyone today?

Hi all!

I'm not sure re: ovulation @Newbiemg - never thought about it before but I guess you must need a certain amount of time for one follicle to become dominant and release a mature egg?

Frustrating re: travel @SMD16 but hopefully you've done enough this month!!

@Pickles91 I got a random high OPK (around 0.5 I think) last week sometime around CD9 so maybe it's a "thing" - hoping things all unfold as they should and you ovulate on time!

Im okay today - had a small temp rise this morning (has been 36.2 for the last week and went up to 36.4) but i don't think I can confirm ovulation yet - my temps during my luteal phase last month were more like 36.7 so hoping I see a bigger rise tomorrow to confirm. Did an OPK just now and it's quite low - 0.18 - so I think my 0.7 along with static smiley yest was my peak. Was hoping to see a proper positive on the OPKs but I do find them a bit hit and miss. Just packing for coparent's - off to the train station soon. First stopping at my friend's to visit her and her miracle IVF newborn and then to coparent's after he finishes work for inseminations and then staying with family for a few days. Hopefully the trip takes my mind off the TWW! I have loads of work deadlines too so that might help - I was absolutely beside myself last cycle!

@lakejupiter thank you. I keep feeling like I’m going to ovulate but then my opks just get lighter and lighter so it’s probably in my head lol

Sounds good timing wise for your inseminations. I hope you have a nice trip!

We have to hold out to both ovulate at the weekend @Newbiemg 😂 keep the eggy in there for a few more days!

Reassuring to know you also got a higher OPK around the same time @lakejupiter. Sounds like you have a lovely few days ahead! Do your family live somewhere nice for walks and chilling?

Hope the hotel stay was just for the night @SMD16?! So boring when it’s by yourself, and not somewhere tropical! It’s sounds like you’ve done everything you could so everything crossed that this is your month! May your TWW pass by at the speed of light

Hello! So the last insemination of my cycle was comically stressful - my coparent was feeling really poorly from an infected wisdom tooth and there was hardly any.....material......to work with - very unlike him. It was such a tiny amount it was so difficult to get it into the syringe and then back out again! And his lodger was in the flat (he's usually at work in the evenings) watching snooker really loudly and it was all just very stressful and quite funny 😆 but hopefully a little bit of sperm got where it needed to go.

@Pickles91 yes lots of countryside walks on the horizon! Hoping it helps distract me during the TWW!

@Pickles91 yes luckily was just for one night although I have a night away again next week, this time Bristol!

@lakejupiter sorry to hear about a stressful insemination but fingers crossed you've had enough little spermys over your fertile week to make a little bean 🤞🏻

@Newbiemg how are your OPK's going?

@SMD16 my opks have gone back down low now. This mornings one was 0.24. I’m CD11 today so still got time. How are you?

@lakejupiter Hopefully it was all worth it and enough made it through! 🤞

@Newbiemg ooh okay, it's so frustrating isn't it! I'm okay just a few hours of work to get through then hospital. Lyra and so are working from bed as it's all calls 😂 how are you?

Friends!! Hello friends.
I have missed you all while I've been feeling sorry myself
Still low on the OPK front, got a 0.33 5 minutes ago... but made the mistake of using the CB too and it's went to static... don't think that is the case really, was just wanting to see if it went flashy again or not. Think I've messed up my clear blue for now have I? Luckily I have another one so I guess I could open and use tomorrow? CD 17 & VERY fed up.

How is everybody doing? Just reading & catching up now so no doubt another comment from me in a min x

@SMD16 great news about ovulating woop, hope that is you home from hotel now. fingers crossed that all the BD'ing will pay off.

@pops100 how you doing? AF all gone yet or nearly?

@newbiemg how you doing too? hows your hair? all good?

@lakejupiter had a little giggle at your story today! hope you have a lovely weekend with family. and sending lots of luck to you too!

@pickles91 hello! how you doing hows things?
