Ovulation date 25th or 26th March - TWW thread

[TTCing]

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 Definitely a good idea, it's so easy to overthink these things and misinterpret every single twinge so you've got the right attitude about it

@Stillwinston yea I’ve had my fair share of false positives in the past too so I’m used to the heartbreak when af arrives, I know il still be upset this month if it’s negative but I’m trying to stay positive about it, I’m due on in 5-6 days so I keep thinking whatever symptoms I do get will be period related x

Hi @Shutte sorry to hear you’ve had such a difficult journey so far💕
I was following threads from the shadows for a while but it’s been so nice to join and feel like you’ve got people to talk to that understand x

Welcome @Ttcdcno1 ! Yes, it’s really nice to find a supportive group!

Welcome @Shutte ! I’m sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancies. I am crossing my fingers for you this month ❤️

congrats @Amber125 xx

AF is due Thurs, had a bfn on an internet cheapie this morning not even a hint of a line. Do I bother testing again tomorrow or just wait for AF to show up now?

@Ttcdcno1 I'd try and wait until Thursday if you can just to give yourself the best shot - hope you're doing ok x

@TTCing how are you getting on? Any promising symptoms?

@Stillwinston yeah I’m alright, just another month down isn’t it 🙈

This was cycle 4 for us so I know it’s super early still, think I still haven’t quite got over how naive I was starting TTC! You spend so long when you’re younger trying not to get pregnant and then when you do want to, there’s actually so much to think about! 😂🙈

@Ttcdcno1 it's crazy isn't it! I really think sex ed. classes should explain how you're only fertile for a small portion of your cycle and not make you believe that if you have sex you'll instantly fall pregnant, I was clueless before I properly started trying for my son 😂

@Stillwinston i know right! Not prepared for this rollercoaster at all 😂all the testing and waiting and testing and waiting 🤪DH isn’t complaining about his side of things just yet which is something 😂

So tonight I've had really dull, quite painful cramping, similar to AF pains. When I've been to the toilet I've brown cm on wiping.

I'm 9DPO, I do get spotting before my AF but it's timed with the ache that I'm like "omg stop, I'm symptom spotting" but it's so hard not to isn't it x

Very very strange, since yesterday lunchtime I have been bleeding but nothing like a normal period, is the implantation or my period starting slowly

@Bailem @Kirstyddd could well be implantation based on both your dates 🤞 is the bleeding getting heavier?

I did a CB ultra early test this morning and it was 100% negative and now feeling crampy like AF is coming 😒 just want to get this cycle over so I can start to plan for fertility testing. How's everyone else getting on?

Hi All,

I hadn't joined this thread as I've been trying to stop getting my hopes up all the time, it's only cycle 3 of ttc but like others, I naively thought OH would just look at me when I came off the pill and I'd be pregnant 😂 I found that these forums were making me a bit neurotic. Anyway, until today, I've managed to avoid testing as I wasn't testing early and AF arrived on time.
I'm 9DPO I think and for some reason this morning just woke up desperate to take a test. I haven't consciously had any symptoms other than sore/sensitive nipples (but I've had them post ovulation every cycle and they go away the day before AF arrives.) It doesn't show as clearly in a picture but got a vfl 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 I'm not going to test again until AF is late but I'm soooo hoping this is it!

@Stillwinston No, it's not heavy at all, only there when wipe and I wouldn't call mine bloody.
Feel absolutely normal today, I've only clearblue tests in so will probably wait until the weekend as I've read they aren't as sensitive.

Hope everyone's ok x

@NoodleQueen90 Welcome, there's definitely a line there and that's great for 9DPO!!

8dpo and not even a hint of a line for me, still early days x

@NoodleQueen90 I can absolutely see a line there! Congratulations 🎉

@Bailem sounds promising 🤞 keep us updated x

And has deffo come this morning, on to the next circle and new to tracking my ovulation

many tips are welcomes I have brought a thermometer to track bbt and ovulation tests

Congratulations @NoodleQueen90

@Stillwinston no symptoms here! Just a bit of aching/cramping. I suspect it’s AF on its way! Like you, I’m also just waiting on my period now so I can move on… I’m rapidly heading towards that year mark of TTC (again). When we hit a year, I’m going to ask the doctor to run the typical fertility tests again. I’m hoping my husband’s fertility hasn’t declined further! Hope you are okay. It’s a very depressing point of the month waiting for AF and thinking you’re out (but you never know, there’s a chance you could still get a bfp this cycle!)

cant believe how much darker it’s gotten this morning, I’m still in disbelief about it all😅 not sure who asked yesterday but I think someone asked if I did anything different this month, I only dtd once in the fertile window which was literally the day before ov, no other days in the window just the once.

Thanks everyone and congrats @Amber125 🎉
I'm scared to get my hopes up at the moment! AF due on Saturday so I think I'll wait until Monday to do another test.

Congratulations @Amber125

I'm pretty sure I'm out this month, feels just like AF is looming early. Was a little down about it this morning but ready to get AF now and onto next month!
