Ovulation 26th/27th April - let’s TWW together

TTCing · 26/04/2023 09:09

Hi ladies,

Month 10 of TTC #2. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

I have a one year old daughter who took almost a year and a half to conceive. I previously had a chemical pregnancy not long before she was conceived.

Really hoping this cycle will bring good news ❤️

Please feel free to join if your ovulation is around 26th/27th April and/or AF due around 7th/8th/9th May.

Wishing luck to us all xx

@Daniki what dpo are you now? I def felt tired over the weekend but I thought it was just cos I had a busy week last week and husband was away so I just took a nap 😂 but then I got that bfp and yeah... when I said to husband I was tired last night he went 'yeah you were last time too' but I def don't remember it being this early!

I feel like maybe with my MC something was wrong from the start so I'm wondering if this baby is ok then I might be in for more symptoms this time but who knows

I've been feeling like my AF is coming since a few days after ovulation and omg convinced today it's going to just come out all of a sudden 😅 I'm only cd23 of usually 30 day cycles 🤦🏼‍♀️

suz2285 · 08/05/2023 15:44

@Ttcmumma that's exactly what I felt like! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

Congrats @Daniki ! I can definitely see ❤️

still no AF for me but I just know in my heart I’m not pregnant. 12DPO. Period would usually arrive yesterday or today.

My cycle is just out of sync after the chemical.

I actually think I might try and stop ovulation testing next cycle because I’m far too obsessed/upset from TTC and it’s just not healthy.

@TTCing I really feel you, all the tracking and pissing on sticks and temping is just so tough. Have also decided I'm not going to do any of it this month and just try to be more casual.
Every single day of the month there's something to do from the moment you wake up, it's so stressful.
And I said to my husband, the tracking clearly isn't making a difference for us... so might as well just try to chill and enjoy life a bit more 🤷‍♀️ I dunno.

Ttcmumma · 08/05/2023 16:03

@suz2285 thank you, can only hope! 😅 My body does like to try trick me tho

@TTCing I was thinking the same tbh! Sometimes relaxing is what helps 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I'm definitely obsessive with it

Daniki · 08/05/2023 16:03

@suz2285 I'm 9dpo! I do normally get tired easily but yesterday was another level it was just me and my 2 year old at home and I was lying down with him for a nap and then afterwards he was playing on the couch and I fell asleep again 🙈

@ar91the tracking is very stressful I fully agree, I only done it this cycle and I was reluctant as I got really obsessive when conceiving my son. Would a few nights away be realistic for you? Could plan around when you think you might ovulate so you're more relaxed! X

suz2285 · 08/05/2023 16:03

@ar91 @TTCing totally agree, the whole process is stressful and annoying and I get so irritated that it's the woman that have to do all the tracking, temping etc and they don't have to do anything, same as everything else!! And then once there's a baby in there we have to grow it and they again do nothin!! It's a badly designed process for sure!

I have heard of people just not tracking for a while and that working better for them, I guess give it a shot and see?

Freya8 · 08/05/2023 16:09

@suz2285 no im from northern ireland lol prob worked out me accent! Lol i say 'aye' alot and we tend to put 'like' infront of everything and call everything "wee" 🤣🤣🤣

suz2285 · 08/05/2023 16:15

@Freya8 same as people from Glasgow 😂😂

ar91 · 08/05/2023 16:19

@Daniki I have my sisters and their husbands staying with us the weekend I'm due to ovulate this month! So that's going to be interesting trying to dtd much 😂

@suz2285 the men really do get the easy job. And they still manage to complain that it's hard work hahaha.

I think I'm gonna just try and accept needing IVF referral and not worry too much about what happens in the next few months. Easier said than done though 🤪

Daniki · 08/05/2023 16:23

@Freya8 haha I'm from Ireland too, on the border! 😂😂 can defo read your comments in your accent now 😂

AF arrived early hours of this morning for me.

Cycle number 11, here we are!

I feel somewhat better now AF has arrived and I’m out of that awful misery/limbo stage!

Hope everyone is doing okay ❤️

@TTCing sorry to hear AF arrived. I had awful cramps over night and took paracetamol thinking af was arriving. But nothing thus far and pain has gone. I have finally tested and it's a BFN, guess if AF doesnt come later tofay my lap & dye has made my cycle whacky (I always come on over night as well, so expected it to be here).
Like you I just want out of this limbo now.

Secondtimettc · 09/05/2023 08:48

Congratulations to all who have got BFPs!

@TTCing sorry about AF but good to be our of the limbo zone.
I'm about 10dpo and usually start madly symptom spotting about now but I have a cold so only really feel coldy. Usually the hormonal shift hits me like a ton of bricks about 10/11dpo so am going to wait and see what happens with that. I never test early as I like to live in the hope zone for as long as possible!

Freya8 · 09/05/2023 09:02

@TTCing sorry to hear that but glad your outa limbo 💗 think ill be joining ya soon im 11dpo ive awful pinching in hips and underarm pain, af due 13dpo/14dpo yeh must admit im really deflated today. Ill do a frer later n then may aswell stop testing xxx

missmoosh · 09/05/2023 09:42

I am now obsessively googling bfn at 12dpo turning to bfp 😂 said I wouldn't do this to myself this cycle, yet here I am!
I was convinced when af didn't come over night I would poas and it would immediately come up positive...its the whitest I have ever seen a test! 😂😂

StressyErica · 09/05/2023 09:49

Good morning everyone! Again congratulations to those who have got their BFPs. It must be so exciting to move on to the next step. 😃 And good luck to those of us who are moving on to another TTC cycle. It will happen eventually!

I think I'm 12dpo and I have all the symptoms of AF starting soon, and a BFN so I think I am out. I'm actually ok with it because if we had conceived this month the EDD would have been the same as my eldest's birthday and that would have been dramatic. 😂 We have often said the only thing we need now is a March birthday in the family and we would have a birthday every month for four months. 😃

I was looking at my FF chart and clicked back on the charts and I was really surprised to find the chart from when we conceived my eldest years ago. It was really interesting to see and I had no idea FF keep these things for so long. Bless. I was temping back then and it was so clear when ovulation took place and I think I could even make our an implantation dip. I can't be bothered with that stuff now but will probably stick with opks because I find them quite fun (I am odd).

Secondtimettc · 09/05/2023 10:12

@StressyErica

We have the same lots of Jan and Feb birthdays so if I'm out this month at least avoid that. Obviously any month would be lovely!!

DHB · 09/05/2023 12:42

I’ve just started light bleeding so AF has arrived, 3 days late :(

Cycle 3 for me

missmoosh · 09/05/2023 13:45

@DHB sorry to hear AF has got you too! I'm still waiting on her arrival, did another test cos I'm mental and still bfn...

Not sure what the odds on that changing are, given I only have a 12 day luteal phase. Hate this limbo! Like if I'm not preggo just come already...then I can have wine!

DHB · 09/05/2023 14:08

@missmoosh God same, the waiting is awful, feels like the longest time ever doesn’t it. Hopefully AF doesn’t come, I was testing every day like a weirdo too, we’re all the same deep down 😂

missmoosh · 09/05/2023 14:15

@DHB it really does, feel like the day is dragging on!
Might dtd tonight if it hasn't started as that sometimes gets things moving 😂
If it weren't for the fact I had the lap&dye on CD1, I would be convinced I was pregnant, but I reckon that is just delaying my period, as I'm sure on my ovulation day...
