Did anyone else ovulate on or around Valentine's Day? i could do with some moral support this month as I'm feeling a little down about TTC. Anyone want to do the TWW together? 🤞🏻✨

Me! Ovulated Valentines day, AF due 28th, another long 2ww!

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 13:05

@ttcbabyk how long have you been ttc?

beanchopper17 · 21/02/2022 13:13

🙋🏼‍♀️ period due 28th, the only positive I have at the mo is a covid test thanks to my sharing husband!

I was really positive about this cycle until the past couple of days 🤦🏼‍♀️

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 13:16

@beanchopper17 oh no! Hope you’re not feeling too crap with it? I was feeling quite positive but as the 2ww goes on my confidence goes with it.

Bubblesandballoons · 21/02/2022 13:32

Hey everyone 👋🏻 I ovulated on Valentine’s Day, due 28th too, feeling a bit nauseous today and had some cramps, trying not to get my hopes up though

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 13:47

@Bubblesandballoons it's so bloody hard not to try and take every little thing as a symptom isn't it? My boobs probably only hurt because i'm prodding them so much to see if they hirt Confused

beanchopper17 · 21/02/2022 13:48

@MrsT8509 luckily very mild symptoms, mainly just sleepy and snotty with mild acheyness.

How long have you been trying?

Been ttcing for well over 10years, no children but I still hope one day I will get a miracle!

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 13:54

@beanchopper17 glad you're not feel too rough with it 🙂

I've been off the pill since 2019, but only actively trying and using opk's since November. I'm 37 so i've left it quite late to start trying for our first. I have regular 28 day cycles and definitely ovulate so i'm hoping that's on my side at least 🤞🏻

Wow, 10 years, that must be really tough for you. X

Bubblesandballoons · 21/02/2022 14:36

@MrsT8509 yes it is, I’m sure mine are just my hormones and wishful thinking 😂.
Hope you get your miracle @beanchopper17

beanchopper17 · 21/02/2022 21:00

@MrsT8509 yeah it's been a longgggg time! Yet I am still symptom spotter and a peeing on a stick addict 😂

I am 37 this year, so I understand the whole quite late feeling, but their has been research to show that ladies are waiting till mid 30's now to start a family, so maybe we are just trend setters! Good luck to you, it's good you are in tune with your cycles!

Not going to this evening had some major cramping lower abdomen, been trying to ignore it but it got so bad my hubby got me a hot water bottle, pretty sure that's not covid related (might be 🤷🏼‍♀️)

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 22:02

@beanchopper17 definitely not covid related, we'll say pregnancy related instead 🤞🏻

ttcbabyk · 21/02/2022 22:19

Hi ladies! Sorry for the late response. I forgot to come on here all day!

I've been TTC for 6ish months. I know it's no where near as long as others on MN but I just have a feeling that somethings wrong.

Previous blood work has shown some irregularities/imbalances but I've had the bloods repeated and the DR said it was normal so I'm not too sure?

I have however, had a lot of stress recently with my nan-in-law passing away and other things. Not sure if it has an impact?

I have longer cycles (30-35 days, on the rare occasion it can be longer than this) so I'll have to sort of estimate when I should test!

Wishing PP a speedy recovery from Covid-19! Defo the wrong kind of positive test, but maybe you'll get a positive pregnancy test this month too!

Sending baby dust to all!✨

Hi all. I think I ovulated on 13th so the day before, AF due 27th. I’ve had a bit of nausea and last night had some very mild period type pains but only one one side which is unusual for me. I have a 15 month old DD and this is cycle 3 TTC #2. Had a chemical last month though and seen so many on here say they got pregnant again the following month so it really got my hopes to! But I always feel less optimistic the closer I get to AF! Baby dust to all x

MrsT8509 · 21/02/2022 22:34

We all start the tww so confident and positive, then after the first week is done, we start doubting. I had a really strong pain on my right sode at ovulation, never been that intense before, and for the past couple if days i've had cramping on the left side. I think we just so so in tune with our bodies whilst ttc that we pick up on every little thing. It's so frustrating isn't it.

Do you all wait till af due to test or test before?

TTCBABYNO2xx · 21/02/2022 22:34

Hey ladies!

Cycle 1 ttc baby no 2 🥰

Got the coil out on 1st feb and predicted ovulation on the 14th too

Cramping like mad 🤞🏽🤞🏽

beanchopper17 · 22/02/2022 09:28

@MrsT8509 the cramps have been on and last night, woke up and they started again 🤞🏻

Well I got my one and only ever dye stealer, shame it's on a covid test, I really wish I could see that kinda result on a hcg test! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I did actually wake up this morning and thought I will do a pregnancy test, but in my brain fog I didn't realise I had just gone to the toilet and not collected a sample. So I guess I will be waiting till tomorrow anyway!

Has anyone else caved or you holding out for a certain dpo?

Bubblesandballoons · 22/02/2022 09:45

@beanchopper17 I’m trying to hold out till Friday. I’d love to wait till Monday, but I know I’ll cave 😂. Sorry about the covid dye stealer, hope you are still coping ok.
@ttcbabyk stress can affect things. Hope things are on the up for you now

ttcbabyk · 22/02/2022 10:06

Awww good luck to both PP for when you do test. I usually test a few days earlier but I've only got the one test left so I may wait it out and if there's a line, I'll buy more.

I have however, woken up with sore boobs. But I'm not going to get too excited because this is usually a PMS symptom I get every month. But I don't know if I get this symptom this early on? Hmm! Who knows!

beanchopper17 · 22/02/2022 10:07

@TTCBABYNO2xx when you say predicted ovulation, does that mean an app said that's when you will ovulate or are you tracking ovulation another way?

If it's just apps, that's not 100% accurate and might be worth while investigating opks or bbting 😊

F03t · 22/02/2022 10:24

Hope everyone is doing OK in the TWW! Anyone tested yet?

I got my OPK peak on 13th PM into 14th AM so not quite sure when I ovulated after that, I'm assuming 15th. Going to try and hold out to test until next Tues 1st but away Sat-Mon from my OH so not sure whether to test before that, or if its far too early!

MrsT8509 · 22/02/2022 10:25

I'm going to TRY and wait it out this month, and if AF isn't here by Tues, test then. I stopped myself buying any so far this month because i'd be poas already if i had, and thrn be fuming with myself for BFN's, even though it's way too early!

It's always the way isn't it! Ive wasted so many tests like this! So I think I'm #teamwaititout this month... The TWW wait is the worst. I think symptom spotting makes it so difficult especially because I have bad PMS symptoms and it's easy to confuse pregnancy and PMS symptoms and when I symptom spot I feel the need to test but it's usually too early! 😩

@beanchopper17 hey lovely- just got the coil out on 1st feb so predicted ovulation meaning i am totally guessing as not had a proper period yet to start tracking properly! I used digital ovu sticks first time around and fell pregnant first cycle so just winging this month hoping for the best. Im cramping, sore boobs and white CM TMI!! Hoping ive been super lucky but just wishful thinking 🤞🏽 x
