Ovulation date 25th or 26th March - TWW thread

TTCing · 25/03/2023 07:59

Hi ladies, who would like to join a TWW thread. My ovulation date is today or tomorrow ❤️

Month 9 TTC baby number 2.

I have a 1 year old who took 16 months to conceive.

I’m 29 and my hubs is 31. We know my husband has a fertility issue so we’re aware it could well be a long road ahead. Not that it makes TTC any more bearable. Every month is depressing when AF arrives!

Would love to share in the TWW with some others!

@Mummy1502 let us know how you get on with the FRER. I’m suspicious of Clearblue ones with lines as I’ve had one before that looked obviously positive and I wasn’t pregnant. Crossing my fingers for you!

@NoodleQueen90 i think feeling relaxed is a good sign! Enjoy going to see the baby! I bet it will feel so surreal ❤️

@TTC53 thank you! I definitely did not go back to sleep and I also woke up my husband 🤣 I could never not tell him straight away! I’m 12DPO today. AF due either yesterday, today or tomorrow. I’ve had mild stomach cramps a few days (made me think AF was coming, so I didn’t think they were pregnancy related). Other than that, I’d not have known. I was 100% not expecting it to be positive. I literally just thought ‘I’ll use this cheapy, it’ll be negative and at least I can move on to the next month of TTC if I’m negative on 12dpo.’

@Baconbinge thank you! 12DPO today!

@Stillwinston have you tested today? Hope that you might still get your bfp this month? Sending you love and wishing you loads of luck for the next cycle. You never know, I might be joining you if I have a chemical. I’m anxious about this 😞 it’s hard to be naively happy when it’s happened before xx

@TTCing positive thoughts, although 1 in 4 is a scary statistic, 3 in 4 pregnancies are successful ❤️

I haven't tested this morning (mainly as I have no tests in the house), think I'll just wait and see if AF arrives tomorrow or Sunday x

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 10:23

@emmatcc1 doesnt that normally mean your pregnant? Did you find it matched up with your opk x

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 10:27

@Stillwinston definitely ❤️
It’s been so nice to have people to talk to that understand. We’ve not told anyone in our lives that we’re TTC and DH gets very stressed very easily so it’s been so helpful having everyone on here 🥰

emmatcc1 · 07/04/2023 10:31

@Mummy1502 I don do opk but it matched with my cm and cervix position that's how I usually checked for ovulation. I had a small rise yesterday and it stayed up today. We'll see if af is on the way it should be dropping soon. But based on my chart analysis and symptoms the app says there's 66% chance of pregnancy.

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 10:37

@emmatcc1 here’s one of my charts

emmatcc1 · 07/04/2023 10:47

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 11:07

@emmatcc1 yeah orally. Mine doesn’t seem to fluctuate too much apart from the odd dip here and there and rise after ovulation. Have you been doing it long?

emmatcc1 · 07/04/2023 11:14

@Ttcdcno1 No this is my first time I switched to vaginally on 4dpo I heard that this way they're more even

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 11:44

@emmatcc1 ahh ok! Yeah I’ve not tried it that way. how are you finding it?

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 13:12

FRER is stark white, I’m defo out x

emmatcc1 · 07/04/2023 13:17

@Ttcdcno1 It makaes me less stressed knowing there's not a chance of it giving me a false temperature that can happen with orally

@Mummy1502 You're only 10 dpo there's still a chance.

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 13:37

@emmatcc1 my af due in 2 days it would defo be positive by now x

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 13:37

Annnnnnd AF has arrived so back to CD1 for me! Drinks in the sun it is ☀️

Stillwinston · 07/04/2023 13:54

Sorry to hear that @Ttcdcno1 ❤️ hope you enjoy your drink 🍻 see you for the next cycle! X

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 13:55

@Ttcdcno1 I think il be joining you, no af yet but frer negative, af due in 2 days so would expect it to be positive by now x

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 13:57

@Stillwinston thanks! ❤️I’m actually alright with it this time, with us both being so tired and ill around ovulation day I didn’t expect much so hey ho. Let’s hope this next one’s the lucky one for us all 💫

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 13:59

@Mummy1502 sorry to hear that! Sending lots of baby dust your way 💫💕

@Mummy1502 sorry to hear this 😞 those Clearblue tests are a mare for false lines. Sending you love xxx

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 16:38

@TTCing i shouldn’t have used it I’ve had so many false positives with them, currently drowning myself in wine after a loss in November at 7 weeks, a chemical 3 cycles ago, followed by 2 unsuccessful cycles in a row, im feeling sorry for myself x

Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 16:39

@TTCing i know that seems a lot in a short space of time but my cycles are only short 22-24 days x

@Mummy1502 I’m so sorry. TTC really does take its toll and it is so hard to stay positive - especially at the point of waiting for AF to arrive. Have you been able to have some investigations at the doctors? Can they give you anything perhaps to lengthen your luteal phase or to thicken the lining of your womb etc? I really do empathise and send my love because it is just draining.

I am pretty much living in fear now of a chemical/miscarriage as I’m such a pessimistic person and after previously having a chemical myself, it’s hard to be optimistic x

OP posts:
Mummy1502 · 07/04/2023 16:54

@TTCing ive been referred to the epu but they are basically waiting for me to have another chemical/miscarriage before they will do anything x

Mummy1502 · 08/04/2023 08:09

@TTCing I’ve got the faintest line on a frer this morning! Yesterdays one from the same pack was start white, maybe I ovulated later than I thought? Or maybe it’s an indent, oh god I hate this, af due tomorrow or Monday x
