Ovulation day & TWW

Peonies94 · 31/01/2022 14:00

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 ☺️

[quote Peonies94]@Annabelle0852 my DH doesn’t get it either, even though he desperately wants one too, he just doesn’t feel the same, if that makes sense! He’s much more laid back about the whole thing! It’s so hard isn’t it! I’m sorry your feeling like this! I took another test today and BFN! I Just feel deflated as we DTD as much as we humanly could last cycle, and now it’s just wait for AF and onto the next cycle! TTC just sucks the life out of you as well doesn’t it!!

Agree with friends! A close friend did have issues but other friends had children who weren’t planned or in very new relationships![/quote]
So sorry to hear how you are feeling. I can't even imagine and i need to be grateful I've been so lucky in that way in my life. It'll happen for you, I'm glad you've got things started with the scans etc. I really hope you'll get a BFP before then though.

I tested early this morning, frer was negative :( I don't tundertabd though, there was a vvvf but real line yesterday and especially in the Lloyd's one too so I really thought it would be BFP today. I'm trying to accept it hasn't happened and just focus on a nice valentines weekend we have ahead of us.

@Peonies94 I'm with you today. 10dpo a BFN and AF arrived, feeling down. Had over the last few days really convinced myself it would be our month. Also wasted my test this morning with FMU as when I wiped afterwards I was already bleeding so should have just waited! Hopefully we both have more success with our next cycles 🤞

Butterscotchbaby · 10/02/2022 15:45

I'm so sorry to the ones who have had AF :( its shit isn't it! My anxiety is so high! I really cant think that my feint lines are just evap lines and the easy at home tests are notorious for giving false positives! i bought some Clear blue Digital like you said but i just daren't do it! I still am in theory 11 DPO so i might just leave it until Monday when AF is due and then see :/ its such a rollercoaster of emotions isn't it!

RosyappleA · 10/02/2022 15:50

Another one here spotting has started making AF 3 days early which is really unusual for me. Maybe the stress of this ttc is to blame. DD spilt her drink today and it made me cry. Very unlike me. I am gonna relax next month as this cold has knocked me over completely I can’t even imagine dtd atm. I will have to just book lots of extra shifts at work instead to keep myself busy nothing else seems to work!

Dontbeaneejit · 10/02/2022 17:12

I caved last night and tested bfn. It was silly anyway as way too early only dpo 6 or 7. Thing is I don't even know if that was ovulation and now I'm getting loads of clear watery cm which could actually be ovulation. My cycles are so long it's impossible to tell. Aargh. I'm on cd27 today. Can you ovulate this week? I'm also getting some light cramps and back ache etc. Driving myself mad wondering!

@Greenwhale sorry to hear for you too! I was the same this month!

@RosyappleA - spotting for me started too, never usually have it, so my body playing tricks on me!! Only good thing for me is, it’s looking like my cycle is 30 days ish this month, so fingers crossed for another normal length cycle next month and not a 90 day one!!

When working out luteal phase is it from day after ovulation to day before AF? So the number of day i between those? I feel AF is coming tomorrow which could mean mine is only 9 days! It’s usually 11!

Ah @Peonies94 sending love! Although I bet you're glad your cycle is more normal this month? I'm not sure on Luteal phase it's always confused me. I did a FRER this morning and can't see anything I'm so confused going to stop even thinking of it, enjoy our anniversary weekend we are super busy with the kids too so not going to test until Monday Atleast. Xx

T4Opal · 11/02/2022 07:37

Hope you’re ok @Peonies94 try to look after yourself ready for next month xx

I did a frer today but nothing. I think my app said my fertile window was earlier than it actually was. I had egg white cm still on cd 18 so I’ve probably been testing too early as I’m only on cd24 today.

I had some serious cramping last night so could have been implantation and I just need to wait a bit longer. Good luck everyone else

@Holly3 thank you! Yes that is a relief but I am a little concerned about LP now AF has arrived early! Have a lovely weekend, should be a nice distraction!

Sorry to here AF has arrived @Peonies94
From how I understand, luteal phase is basically DPO until AF arrives. Mine is usually 9-11 and I have managed to conceive before so I don't think it's a hard and fast rule that if your luteal phase is short it can't happen. Wishing you all the luck for next cycle

@Greenwhale thank you! Between this and my cycles being 90 days thought it could be another issue! Thanks though!

BFN for me girls Sad 11 days past LH surge, on a short cycle (only 2 days til next period). Back at it next month then!

I wonder, should we be treating LH surge as peak? Ovulation may not occur for another 36 hours after LH surge and sperm doesn’t usually live for the 5 days everyone bangs on about. Average life of is only 2 days, apparently. Maybe I should be dtd after the surge, too.

Oh well. Just as well, I have a wine tasting tonight Wine at least I don’t need to make a fool of myself trying to spit elegantly into the bucket! Bottoms up girls! (For the wine tasting and TTC) GrinWink

How are we all getting on?

RosyappleA · 11/02/2022 17:45

@DogsAndGin enjoy the wine! I totally agree I conceived last time without having sex close to ovulation so now I am wondering if its better I wait til the LH surge then carry on for a few days instead of running out of steam far too early!
@Greenwhale @Peonies94 thats reassuring i was too concerned about the LP as this AF is spotting so so early and this happened once before after my miscarriage. Hope it doesn't turn out to be an issue!

Dontbeaneejit · 11/02/2022 18:00

I took another pregnancy test just now and it was negative. Then did another ovulation test out of interest and it's really dark. So confused. I'm on cd28. I don't know if I'm ovulating now or not. My cycles are long and I'm getting cramps and stuff now. I've never really tried ttc before. It just sort of happened. The whole tracking ovulation etc is new to me and I don't know what is normal or not

Annabelle0852 · 11/02/2022 20:56

Thanks for all the support ladies and sending love to the BFN's and congrats to the BFPs.

Spotting started today (usual before AF) and AF due tomorrow with no doubt! Docs sent off my referral yesterday, hope the wait isn't too long.

Fx for next cycle girls!

That does sound confusing, have you spoken to a doctor? My doc sis has advised I start taking iron supplements to help my short luteal phase, fx!

@DogsAndGin hope you have a great wine tasting session!

I'm on 10dpo which I'm questioning myself now. Apparently my period is due in 4 days but my period has been delayed past two months due to tablets. did test early on a cheapie and BFN. Now I'm questioning the symptoms I've been having 🙄

Not testing till my supposed period is due now. Feeling frustrated!!

T4Opal · 13/02/2022 09:12

What do you think! Period due on Wednesday

@T4Opal looks good but I seem to get bad indents on FRER so try another brand as well x
