Ovulation Day - anyone want to join me during the TWW?

Cycle 1 TTC baby #2. Baby #1 was conceived 4 years ago on the 3rd month of trying, but I had a CP on the first month. My LH peak was yesterday so I'm guessing today is ovulation day. DTD 4 days ago and 2 days ago, and going to again tonight just incase I have my timings slightly out. I'm an obsessive early tester and so will no doubt be testing from 8DPO onwards - I got my positive last time at 8DPO 😬

Anyone else just starting their TWW?

We have since the.beginning of June, I cry Every time AF arrives it hurts because I get so many symptoms when really they were just AF symptom's it's sad

LavenderWillow · 17/09/2022 07:35

Hi ladies. I’m 2 DPO and due AF between 28th and the 1st, my cycles vary a bit but I’m assuming the luteal phase should be the same each cycle so if that’s the case it’s the 28th!

cycle 2 trying for number 1. Looking forward to following everyone’s progress

I don't know if this will help, but last month (first month TTC) I made a list of everything that was happening in my body each day i.e 4DPO shooting pain in boobs, 5DPO back ache etc. this month I've been doing the same.

Every time I've noticed something I've checked the list from last month and pretty much everything has been the same so it doesn't allow my brain to wander.

When we're TTC we notice every single ache/tingle because we're looking for it, never mind if we know that symptoms can't start until a certain time!

Algor1thm · 17/09/2022 19:23

@NalaNana that's a great idea. TTC definitely makes you hyper aware of every twinge in your body. Everything seems like a symptom but I'm also starting to feel like this isn't my month. At 4DPO there's obviously no way of knowing either way 🙈

How's everyone feeling today - I'm 5DPO and seem to be having lots of cramping. I also had this at 5DPO the month I got pregnant with my first and tested positive at 8DPO 🤞🏻 Or I'm being overly hopeful and imagining things...

@Algor1thm Im 6dpo today, I had lots of cramping yesterday too but thinking it was far too early for implantation… had a few twinges today but not loads! Are you planning to test at 8dpo again? Xxx

ChipAndDip · 18/09/2022 18:24

6dpo for me! I’m still doing OPKs just the be on the safe side as I got my peak much earlier than usual this month (I’m usually a very late ovulater) But it’s staying low so I think I’m all good 🙂

My only symptom is tiredness but I also have a cold at the moment so I’m sure that’s why x

Whisperedew · 18/09/2022 20:07

Anyone getting cramps? I’m 3Dpo but had cramps and twinges since yesterday, although anything can happen at this point. I definitely ovulate so maybe the problem with me is implantation?

Algor1thm · 19/09/2022 06:51

@ChloeN with my first I had cramping at 5DPO! Then tested positive at 8, but tbh I think I could just about have tested positive at 7 because the line was quite dark. Yeah I'll be testing from 8 again 🥴 I use ICs and can't help myself.

@Whisperedew yeah I had a lot of cramping yesterday, could be anything though so don't want to get my hopes up too much

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 07:21

@Algor1thm ooo maybe it’s a good sign! Let me know how you get on with testing🤞🏻

Butterflygirl23 · 19/09/2022 09:11

How's everyone been? I'm 6dpo roughly today, the only really symptom I have is constipation which I never normally am but maybe it's because of something else I'm not really looking into that. Also I keep waking up in the night to go the toilet, I've been having trouble sleeping too. My boobs normally hurt about la week and a half before my AF comes but nothing so far

NalaNana · 19/09/2022 10:22

I'm 7DPO today and not really counting anything as symptoms! Had some aching round my lower abdomen/back yesterday but I think it might just be a mild UTI 😂 other than that I'm pretty much in the same boat I was in last month.

How is everyone else? X

ChipAndDip · 19/09/2022 10:26

I’ve just started spotting at 7dpo 👀 Although spotting is quite normal for me at any time as I have a sensitive cervix, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

Has anyone else had spotting yet?

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 11:06

@ChipAndDip ooo sounds promising! I had spotting when I concieved last time so going to be gutted if I don’t get any this month!

ChipAndDip · 19/09/2022 11:50

@ChloeN it’s so hard to know if it’s a good or bad sign. I had spotting with my last pregnancy but basically it never stopped and then ended in MMC so I have mixed feelings. But who knows! Do you still have cramping today?

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 12:09

@ChipAndDip thats a good point actually.. I had spotting just on one wipe then nothing more but mine ended in mmc too!

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 12:10

@ChipAndDip and also cramping has mostly gone today! Had a bit of back pain earlier but that’s it!

ChipAndDip · 19/09/2022 12:13

Hopefully our luck has changed this time @ChloeN 🤞🤞

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 12:25

@ChipAndDip I hope so!! Let me know how it goes when you test🤞🏻xxx

ilovecakes1 · 19/09/2022 12:37

Hello - thought I’d join in as I’m another one with AF due on the 26/27th, so I’m guessing I’m around 7DPO. I’ve been pretty moody, needing a wee in the night and constipation (which don’t usually have). I keep google imaging tests to find ones with +‘ves to help justify testing early 😂thinking of waiting another few days though

Nellyson · 19/09/2022 12:58

I know how you feel. I tested positive at 10dpo last month but ended in a cp, so don’t know whether to wait until later this month. But at the same time if it is another CP I feel like it would be good to know as I may be able to get help through gp.

ChloeN · 19/09/2022 14:37

@Algor1thm I feel like I want to test tomorrow at 8dpo 🤣🤣 someone stop me lol🥴

Algor1thm · 19/09/2022 16:20

@Nellyson as sad as it would make me, I think I'd rather know if I had a chemical 😔

@ChloeN 😂 hopefully someone other than me can talk sense into you

Hello! I have just found this thread and I am due on the 25th and 7dpo. Trying for my second child. My son was born in 2013 and was surprise when I was in my mid 20s. I have completely forgotten what it feels like. I am currently having sore breasts which I dont always have before af, mild to moderate cramping, very tired. I ordered a FRER which will arrive tomorrow... not sure if I will test before AF due. We have been TTC since January. Sending baby dust to all of you xx

Ovulation Day - anyone want to join me during the TWW?
BritishDesiGirl · 19/09/2022 20:41
