Ovulation day & TWW

Anyone ovulating yesterday/today/tomorrow want to join! I haven’t had a period for 4 months and feel so glad that I can ‘try’ again! I’m driving myself mad and it’s not even ovulation day for me yet (I think it’s tomorrow) based on having a positive OPK yesterday evening and not in the morning! So if anyone who wants to join to get through the TWW ☺️

Morning ladies. Sorry to hear you're disheartened. What do they always say? "You're not out until AF arrives!!"

OH and I had the results of our initial fertility tests today. All came back normal both sides. This confused me tbh as when I was 20/21 I was told I had PCOS but now my bloods are normal?! Very confused.

Got a follow up call with the GP to talk next steps tomorrow morning. I hope any referrals don't take too long (though I'm not eager to get a wand up my foo again!)

Hope everyone has a good day.

@waffle222 I mean something sorry!

@Annabelle0852 cx that seems good news! Wishing you the best for follow up tests!

Hi! Tbh I've never got a positive on an opk but I've not really used them consistently as my two DC sort of happened unexpectedly quickly! My last cycle was 54 days. My longest this year was 70 days. I started Metformin last May but I've not noticed much improvement. Tbh it makes me feel so sick I've stayed on a really low dose instead of upping it as I could have. Agreed though. With such long cycles it's so hard. I studied my last pregnancies in depth and reckon I must have ovulated around day 20 so I've sort of aimed for that. Is anyone else fed up of all the sex though? 😂 There's such a thing as too much!

Peonies94 · 08/02/2022 13:00

@Dontbeaneejit yes!!💤 it’s so hard and it’s definitely very forced! There’s no way we can just relax and have sex when we fancy it, as I’d never get pregnant!😂 My cycles are anything from 30 odd but my last cycle was 90! I’ve been ttc for a year now! There’s hope for me though with the fact you have two little ones already!!

[quote Peonies94]@waffle222 aww no ! How many DPO are you? It’s so disheartening when you want slime thing so badly isn’t it! I’ve been trying to prepare myself for af, I have lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in a long time, and will probably involve a bottle of wine! Do something that makes you happy! Sending love though and good luck![/quote]
I'm only 8/9dpo 🙈 I think probably 8 so I know I shouldn't expect anything but it's driving me crazy. Im so lucky I've always got pregnant easily so last month when I didn't, it kind of knocked me. I know I shouldn't complain. Feeling so impatient right now :( I thought I'd see a little something today.

Peonies94 · 08/02/2022 14:50

@waffle222 I can imagine when it’s happened really quickly in the past, you feel really frustrated, I’m sure it’ll happen soon though! Just try and be patient.

I need to tell myself this though- 12 months in (beginning of feb last year we started ttc) and I just feel so empty!

Peonies94 · 08/02/2022 14:50

@waffle222 at 8DPO hardly anyone gets a positive anyways, so just keep testing every other day, or every day, and that could well change!

Thanks. I know I'm being ridiculous but it's very consuming 🙈 We got accidentally pregnant last year after my OH was told he'd unlikely ever concieve due to morphology results. So I know realistically it may take a long time or never happen. But I guess because it happened by accident last year I thought it would happen easily now.

So sorry its been so long for you. I can't imagine. I need to give myself a shake today and be grateful and realistic, it's too early to know anyway. Baby dust to you ✨✨

Peonies94 · 08/02/2022 16:42

@waffle222 my husband had a SA a few weeks back and the only thing that come back low was morphology, not really low though and other results looked pretty good I think!

Your not that ridiculous because I just went and took a test, so that’s the two of us, I didn’t even really look at it because I know it’s negative at 7DPO😂 I just had the urge! Yes same to you! I know, I’m trying to tell myself the same!!

Honestly it is so tough when its a struggle for it to happen in the first place and then I think if it ever does happen again I’m gonna be such a nervous wreck thinking if i breathe too hard it’ll go wrong.

Peonies94 · 08/02/2022 18:42

@RosyappleA I totally agree! I just can’t wait but I know I’ll be so nervous! Wishing you the best of luck though!

There definitely is. Do you take any supplements or anything for pcos? It's so hard to wait. I've got mild crampy pains this evening and am constantly checking my period tracker to remind myself when I can test. Really want to hold off. My previous pregnancies I hardly believed it was possible so didn't test til I was almost 5 weeks. This time I know it is and I'm actually trying so no doubt it'll take ages!

Butterscotchbaby · 08/02/2022 19:56

Oh my god guys ! Im 9dpo and I tested again! And there is definitely a feint line !! Im trying so hard not to get too excited but fuckkkkkk!! After my misscarriage last year i know im going to be so anxious! Xx

@Butterscotchbaby yayyy!!! So happy for you! I hope it’s a sticky bean! Wishing you all the luck and sending baby dust ✨✨

@Butterscotchbaby so when did you test, just now? Did you also test this morning or yesterday?

Also any symptoms ? And have you told your partner? So pleased for you! I’m 7DPO so I’ll be testing Thursday!

Also do you have a photo of the test?

So because i have pcos the doctor said that i should keep testing with my ovulation strips just incase i dont ovulate when i get my peak and then i get another peak and miss it ! So im still doing those when i get home from work and i thought i may aswell dip a pregnancy test in the pot of wee whilst im at it ! And there it was ! Ive not told my husband- im going to get a clear blue and double check that i am and then i was thinking of telling him valentines day somehow xx i will take a picture of the test when i go upstairs! Xx
