Did anyone ovulate on Valentine's Day? Would you like to do the 2WW together?

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? 🤞🏻✨

Does mild AF type cramping mens I'm out? I'm 8DPO x

MrsT8509 · 24/02/2022 20:32

@ttcbabyk i believe cramping is good! If you're only 8dpo, you've got a good few days for af not to show, so lets be positive and say it's absolutely 100% not anything to do with the evil cow, and more to do with your upcoming BFP! 😁

I've not really done anything different. We definitely had more sex, and i've stopped drinking, not through ttc, just because i was bored of it and wanted to save some money. I made sure i stayed led down for half an hour after each dtd, and apparantly, an orgasm after he's done his bit helps. The contracting sucks the swimmers up like a vacuum! Only time will tell. I've been taking folic acid and vit d for 5 months. Other than these bits, just bog standard ttcing!

What about you?

ttcbabyk · 24/02/2022 21:03

@MrsT8509 fingers crossed you're right!

I've been using pre seed, taking evening primrose oil (until ovulation) and taking conceive plus ovulation tablets. I've also been trying to put my legs up after DTD. Not sure if it helps, but I'll try anything at this rate lol xx

Aww maybe still time for that BFP 🙌🏽 i really felt pregnant like last time i was pregnant too but probs just AF coming on the 1st 🤦🏽‍♀️ its only my first cycle so we shall see 🤞🏽

Sending you all positive vibes 💕

beanchopper17 · 24/02/2022 21:10

@ttcbabyk we tried preseed this cycle too 🤞🏻 even though the application process was a bit of a mood killer 😂

Mild cramps is a good sign of both but think positive as your af is still so far away 😊

@ttcbabyk

Does mild AF type cramping mens I'm out? I'm 8DPO x
Cramping around 8 dpo could be implantation.. I had really bad cramping 7/8 dpo but my af wasn't due for 9 days or something so I knew something was different 🙈 which turned out to be bfp. Don't give up yet, test in a few days x
ttcbabyk · 25/02/2022 06:11

An update on me: I've just thrown up violently. I don't think it's pregnancy related, as I believe morning sickness starts at 6 weeks and I'm only 9 DPO now. Not sure what's going on, I feel rubbish 🤢🤮

TTCBABYNO2xx · 25/02/2022 07:54

11DPO still negative! I tested positive my last pregnancy at 10DPO so im def out i think!

Ahh sorry to hear u were sick hun- btw you never know maybe HCG is strong?? Did u test this morning 🤞🏽🥰

F03t · 25/02/2022 08:13

Just did my first pregnancy test of the cycle and BFN - really gutted as i was feeling waves of nausea so thought this was it :( AF due on 1st/2nd March. Boo :( any better luck for anyone else this morning?

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 09:05

@ttcbabyk sick you say? 👀 i do believe it can start any time after implantstion, just more common after 6 weeks. 💞🤞🏻

@TTCBABYNO2xx you're not out until af shows. One pregancy doesn't reflect another 💞🤞🏻

@F03t as above, until the cow shows her ugly face, you're still very much in the running! 💞🤞🏻

As you can tell, i'm full of positivity for us all today! My tests are arriving today, but i think i'm deffo going to hold off til at least tomorrow. I've had a bit of back ache, some very mild cramps, and mild tender boobs, which are cery hot this morning 🤔, this could all well be af, but as it's a positive day, i'm going to say it's nothing to do with her 😁

beanchopper17 · 25/02/2022 09:31

@MrsT8509 sounds like some very positive symptoms 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

BFN here, zero symptoms either way. Having a bit of an emotional day, always happens at this stage of my cycle. I feel silly for thinking this cycle could be any different from the previous 10years worth of cycles. Having a bit of a pity party.

Hopefully you ladies will have good news soon 😊

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 09:36

@beanchopper17 BFN and no symptoms means nothing. It could just be your HCG isn't high enough yet, and lots of people don't get any symptoms at all. Try not to have a one person pity party, let us join in and try to make you feel better. You just haven't found your agreeable pee stick yet. YET!! It will happen. Be kind to yourself today and take some time to look after yourself if you're feeling low. Always here for you if you want to rant/vent. We're all going through it, your just waiting for the best baby to pick you xx

ttcbabyk · 25/02/2022 10:29

@MrsT8509 Awww thanks for the positivity 💕. It's just a waiting game now. I'm really trying to wait it out and see how long I can go without POAS. Sending lots of baby dust to you ✨🤞🏻

Coopsy92 · 25/02/2022 11:02

I feel like I could be pregnant but I've not got sore boobs and last time they were so sore!! Though I didn't test till 16dpo with my last pregnancy so I can't remember exactly when they started hurting! Anyone had no sore boobs but still got BFP in the past?! I'm 12dpo now but resisting poas after a chemical last month when I tested at 11DPO! X

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 12:23

I'll leave this here........a lack of symptoms doesn't mean you're not pregnant. Stay positive ladies xx

Did anyone ovulate on Valentine's Day? Would you like to do the 2WW together?
beanchopper17 · 25/02/2022 18:51

@MrsT8509 thank you for saying that, sometimes you need people around you that understand the ttc struggles.

I had a cry, nap and now my hubby has treated me to some ice cream for pudding. Sometimes infertility can be a lonely place so I am very thankful for forums like this (and a husband that brings home ice cream 😂)

I am going try and not test over the weekend, I am due on on Monday, let's see how I get on.

Anyone testing over the weekend?

Coopsy92 · 25/02/2022 19:06

@beanchopper17 I'm due on Sunday so I might test then if no sign, or I might wait till Monday if I can wait that long..! So tempting. But I feel like if I'm not pregnant, I'd rather live in this optimistic ignorance for a couple more days than have two extra days waiting till next cycle!

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 19:11

I caved and tested today........ i got a v faint like on a CB early test. Not reading too much into it at the moment though. I'll do the other test with FMU tomorrow, as todays was this evening. Also ordered some FRER and some IC's just in case there is still a line tomorrow. I know i should leave it til after Monday for AF before teating again though xx

beanchopper17 · 25/02/2022 19:17

@MrsT8509 that's a little exciting, I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

If you need second opinions of your tests I will happily help you out 🧐

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 19:20

I'll add a couple, but as i said, it's still early, and i'd rather wait to confirm it properly with FMU. Xx

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 19:29

It looks a lot bluer in real life, and showed within a minute xx

beanchopper17 · 25/02/2022 19:32

@MrsT8509 I see what you mean, it's there and can't wait for you to test in the morning 🤞🏻

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 19:35

I'm dreading it in case it as white as snow in the morning and this is a faulty test! 🥴 i really don't want to get my hopes up xx

beanchopper17 · 25/02/2022 19:40

@MrsT8509 being honest that has too much colour to be a evap etc but I understand your reservations. I will be waiting with baited breath to see your update tomorrow 🤐

MrsT8509 · 25/02/2022 19:45

@beanchopper17 what test did you use? Xx
