Hey peeps ovulated today - anyone in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in mid May? Thought we could do the 2ww together x

Hey! I'm planning for the 13th and going to try not to cave before (like I usually do haha}

Amber17 · 29/04/2022 20:31

Yep - due to ovulate on Sunday so will be testing around then, will try to hold out til the 14th so I can do a morning test and not have to wait all day to tell DH if it's a BFP!

Brilliant stuff @LinearPenguin and @Amber17 great to meet you!

I'm trying for my first and this is my 3rd cycle trying. How about you guys?

Hey! Think I’ve ovulated yesterday/today, I’ve had the worst cramps😬

I’m hoping to actual try and hold off to see if af comes but I can’t see that happening😂x

@Chlo1995 I'm going to really try to hold off and only test if AF doesn't come. I'm getting obsessed with POAS and it's too expensive!

@41andtryingforfirst and you too :)

I'm not sure what cycle I'm in now, it's been a bit or a journey over a couple of years. Trying for my second

Amber17 · 30/04/2022 08:45

@41andtryingforfirst First cycle for first baby! In the optimistic and excited stage.

OPK looks like it’s peaking today 🤞🏻

ArcEnCiel2022 · 30/04/2022 09:23

Hi everyone! I'd like to join! I'm 1dpo today and I will wait until AF is due before testing. I'm trying for my first baby, it's cycle 5 after 2 miscarriages at the end of last year.
I'm not too hopeful for this cycle as we didn't manage to dtd very close to ovulation, but let's see! 🤞

Welcome @ArcEnCiel2022 and @Amber17!

1dpo for me today and on my way to Cardiff for a belated birthday weekend away. I'm being totally relaxed this month - I am going to have a couple of drinks and let my hair down. I've been so stressed last couple of months that I thought it was time to change tack! The 2 WW is such a drag that a little alcohol is def needed!!

LemonZestDribbles · 30/04/2022 13:27

About to enter my tww. Af due 16th May! I'm ttc #2 I'm also trying to avoid resting but not sure how my willpower will stick... we can stay strong together 😬😬

@41andtryingforfirst that sounds like a wonderful way to spend a weekend. Enjoy!

@ArcEnCiel2022 so sorry for your losses ❤

Cat2hop · 30/04/2022 14:23

Hi! I will hopefully be testing around that date too. Good luck everyone

catlady10 · 01/05/2022 10:16

Hi can I join? AF due on 13th!

Cycle 2 TTC Baby no.1 with all the newbie anxiety of will we have any problems?

I am a self certified POAS addict 🙃

Baby dust to everyone 💐

LemonZestDribbles · 01/05/2022 11:25

@catlady10 I found first time so hard. Everything should be absolutely fine though ❤

ArcEnCiel2022 · 01/05/2022 12:20

@41andtryingforfirst your weekend plan sounds lovely! To have nice things planned during the TWW is the best way to forget about it!

@LemonZestDribbles Thank you 💞
I'm usually an early tester, but I'm tired of being disappointed by negative tests... So this time I think I won't test before AF is due! (I say that now... 🤣)

@catlady10 not only am I a POAS obsessive I'm also a closet member of knicker checkers anonymous!! I get the anxiety - I'm convinced that being 41 will impede me getting pregnant but FX it won't.

Cardiff is truly awesome, I think it might be my favourite city and I've been to several. Off to a gig tonight and maybe a couple of wines. I'm only 2dpo so can't imagine it'll hurt x

I’m trying to not overthink but I either missed my LH peak or it didn’t go up much? Tested twice yesterday but the afternoon was lower than the morning. I’ve got cramps today so hoping I have ovulated! Temp has gone up very soon though - last month it was 3 days after a v definite peak.
Do I keep doing OPKs and DTD in case I get a second surge and the temps are inaccurate?

Testing around 14th May
S0220 · 01/05/2022 17:28

Hi all! AF is due around the 11th May so I am planning to test on the 12th if I can hold off that long (and if AF hasn't already arrived that is!)

@Amber17 I'm no expert but from your chart it looks like you've ovulated to me x

OP posts:
catlady10 · 02/05/2022 09:18

Thank you @LemonZestDribbles 🥰

@41andtryingforfirst 41 is still a very fertile age, a colleague of mine got accidentally pregnant at 41! I get obsess with checking knickers too fear not we are in this together!

@Amber17 I think you've probably ovulated too! It's really easy to miss your peak. I've attached my graphs from the last 3 months ( I had a practice month before TTC 🙊)

My ovulation seem to be clockwork but the orange line was last month and I have no idea what happened.

Testing around 14th May
Amber17 · 02/05/2022 09:56

That's reassuring @catlady10 & @41andtryingforfirst - thanks. Temp still up today so I'm 3DPO according to premom. Had a glass of prosecco last night to celebrate first cycle trying - now the waiting begins.

xoJellyBean · 02/05/2022 19:48

Heyy ladies, hope I can join you. I’m 9dpo today and getting really nervous now! 🤞🏼

S0220 · 02/05/2022 20:00

How's everybody feeling? Im 6dpo today (I think) and I don't know if im looking into things too much but I feel so drained of energy?! Which is unlike me completely. I also have sore boobs (which is unusual so early before AF) and I keep snacking on everything today. I really hope I'm not overthinking it but I also know it's pretty early to start experiencing any symptoms 😩

Fifi1086 · 02/05/2022 20:18

Hey all can I join? I was on here for a while last year while ttc but for a few reasons we decided to put it off. I was ovulating very late (day 21) with a 7 day LP so just wasn't happenings. Went back on mini pill and this is first proper cycle since coming off it and I ovulated day 14!! I'm on 5dpo at the minute and even if nothing happens this month, I'd love to just get a normal LP 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi all and welcome to those joining us! I'm back from Cardiff now - didn't go crazy but had a lovely time. I'm 3dpo and currently feel nothing whatsoever but I have a very difficult mtg tomorrow and am worried my stress and anxiety may impede my chances this month. Aaagh !!

catlady10 · 02/05/2022 23:19

Welcome to the newbies ☺️

@41andtryingforfirst Glad you enjoyed l, Cardiff is a great city!

I've been out with a friend today, it was lovely to catch up, I'm also currently doing an NVQ which keeps me busy so just trying to focus on that!

I really don't want to test before AF is due this month, I drove myself mad last month, testing pretty much daily from 8DPO... not good!!

Can I ask you ladies... does anyone not get any EWCM?

I get pretty nice LH peaks around day 14 and slippery CM and definitely an increase in sex drive but not the classic EW stuff 🤨
