Ovulation day, who's with me in the TWW?

[peepshow97]

Ovulation day today for me!

Only DTD today and two days ago so not feeling hugely positive tbh (although my #1 was conceived in just one lucky night!)

Two week wait begins... going to try and hold off testing until 8DPO as that's when I got my BFP first time around.

This is cycle 4 for us after a chemical last period but I've been breastfeeding and I've now stopped so hopefully that sorts the issue!

Who's with me?

Chemical last month*

I'll join!

I'm on last day of DTD (ovulated yesterday). Had a chemical at 5 weeks last cycle. It's going to feel like an age, so will be nice to have company

I'm on my first pill free cycle, D12 and got a flashing smiley today and a positive one step. Had ovulation symptoms (including a raging headache 😭) DTD as much as possible but not holding out considerable hope with this being my first cycle. I just don't have that kind of luck 😂

The TWW is torture! This is our 6th month so I’m getting impatient now.

This month was a bit strange though I’m normally like clockwork for ovulation but was away so couldn’t test. I presumed it had happened as normal but then 5 days later I had a weird pain like an ovulation pain so did an ovulation test which showed positive. I’m now not sure if I am 8dpo or 2dpo.

Im going to try and hold out until a week tomorrow to test but I have a FRER in the house and no self control so doubt that will happen!

@devonmum8 sorry to hear about your chemical. I had one at 5 weeks too in May then we took a break as wanted to go on hols etc.

My little one is 16 months and I wanted a small gap so hope it doesn't take too long! Is this your first?

@polkadotdasies88 you just never know! Fingers crossed! Are you trying for your first?

@Thestoppedfan ooh that is strange!! Weird not knowing!

@peepshow97 Thanks! We've been trying for over a year and that was my first BFP so was gutting. I have a little boy who's 2 and 5 months; wanted a shorter gap but hasn't been happening. I have been ovulating later than I thought though, so hopefully we can get back on track. I'm 38 so time isn't on my side. We conceived DS first go, so weren't prepared for this journey.

Sorry to hear about your chemical too.

@devonmum8 wow so sorry that sounds like quite the journey. Have you tried every month and tracking ovulation etc? Because we fell first time with our son I've been convinced we are in for a long wait this time but we did fall quite quickly but due to the breastfeeding my progesterone levels were too low. I've now stopped completely but who knows how long it'll take.

They say you're super fertile after a miscarriage so finger crossed for us both xxx
I'm 34 so not a spring chicken either 🤣

@peepshow97 There were a few months of halfhearted trying...lack of energy after a day with a toddler, you know But we've been quite persistent the last 6 months or so. I've used Premom app this cycle and been OPK testing multiple times a day as I've convinced myself that I've been ovulating later and missed it, but probably just my head going bananas!

It's so hard not to become consumed with it, isn't it? I feel like I spend my life peeing on one stick or another!

I've heard that lots of women get a BFP after mc so I'm hoping that might be the case for me. Fingers crossed for all of us!

@peepshow97 We are :) I'm 34 so I know time isn't overly on our side which plays on my mind. I've got a chronic auto immune condition and have had various surgeries & been on lots of medication that isn't safe for pregnancy so it's been a long journey to get here! I'm trying to be relaxed about it but I have gone a bit mad with the old OPKs!!! I cried when I had the flashing smiley this morning as I never thought I'd even see that! Are you trying for your 1st?

@polkadotdasies88 oh bless you!! A word of advice though, the clear blue ones can get expensive. I use cheapie sticks mainly and then just confirm ovulation with the CB ones.

I'm trying for my second! I have a little boy who is 16 months and absolutely beautiful. I've literally just stopped breastfeeding, and he's only just started sleeping through. I must be mad :-)

@peepshow97 Aww how exciting! Everything crossed for you. You reassure me that it can't be that bad if you're TTC again though 😃

I've got a bunch of one step cheapie tests, I was stupidly using them pretty much straight after I stopped the pill when nothing was happening so had to get more 😂 I've gone way overboard checking with them and Clearblue today and got positives on them all so I think I can believe I might actually be ovulating. I intend on just using the cheapies moving forward.
My hormones feel INTENSE today, my poor husband was almost scared of me when I pounced on him earlier 😂 The pill really killed my drive so this is quite the opposite!

Mind if I join. I am 2DPO on cycle 2 TTC #1. I have been using the cheap opk with premom app and found the first cycle hard and only had a low peak, but this month I got a really high peak and DTD day before and day of ovulation so feeling like we have a chance this month, but trying not to get my hopes up.

I am a teacher on summer holidays so finding thw TWW hard as I don't have work to distract me. Planning on testing 6th or 6th Aug.

@Aimee1995 I'm a teacher as well! TWW is going to be a nightmare. Almost wish I was at work...almost! 😂

I'll be testing around the same time, good luck! 😀

@devonmum8 I know that feeling. I have bought a summer gym pass to try and give me a distraction and something I can do everyday if needed 😂

Here's hoping it's both of our months 🤞

@polkadotdasies88 it's definitely not bad. Best thing ever IMO ❤️

@Aimee1995 welcome!

@peepshow97 Aww I love that ❤️ I had a few wobbles before we started trying as my health condition has left me with some physical challenges but my husband is a huge support and encourager so he helped me to stop doubting myself so much. I just hope I do get to experience that joy myself ☺️

@polkadotdasies88 my sister has a chronic auto immune condition too that causes her some terrible symptoms so I really feel for you.

What is meant to be will be 🤞🏽

@peepshow97 Thank you, you're so right ❤️ Everything crossed for you too, so lovely to chat to other ladies going through this journey!

I've tested positive for covid today 😭. 2DPO. God knows what that means for me this cycle! Feeling utterly awful!

@devonmum8 not everyone with covid has issues with their cycle and I have heard of people falling pregnant with it!!
Hope you fell better soon! Plenty of fluids and rest needed

@devonmum8 Everything crossed that it doesn't mess anything up for you ❤️

Hey! going to join this as I'm losing my marbles in this TWW haha, it's my first one, so maybe it's the new uncertainty that's making me so apprehensive. I'm 4dpo (predicted ovulation anyway!) AF is due on the 8th... not sure when to test, or if to test before the 9th-ish?
