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

Thanks @ar91 😊 how many dpo are you? I'm exactly the same as you and let myself get carried away before being crushed when I see the inevitable bfn 😞

We were actually meant to start IVF the day I got my bfp with my son - I reckon that the stress of TTC was lifted when I just accepted we had to go for treatment and that was what enabled us to get pregnant. Hopefully this might be the same for you 🤞🏻x

ar91 · 03/05/2023 08:18

@Stillwinston it really is crushing isn't it, I keep imagining the feeling of getting a positive and how amazing it must feel.
It's really reassuring to hear positive stories of natural conception after a long time ttc from real people and not just internet articles haha.
I'm 7dpo today so I know I'm still early, but realistically all my symptoms are ones I've had before.

missmoosh · 03/05/2023 08:39

@Stillwinston I'm sorry you haven't got your bfp, you are right though there is still time, not out until the witch shows up

@ar91 hopefully you will have a bfp before then. I have read that it can take up to 2 years for healthy people to get pregnant rather than the 1 year.

All normal symptoms for me currently too, but I guess 7dpo that is to be expected.

StressyErica · 03/05/2023 11:01

@Stillwinston I know it's not very helpful, but there is still time. It's really disappointing though when you keep missing the second line on the test. I remember this from when we were TTC years ago and I was convinced I was pregnant but the two lines just wouldn't come up. It was so gutting. I do hope you get your BFP.

I think I'm 6dpo now and I woke up super nauseous and weak. I also had this weird tugging sensation in my lower abdomen which kind of reminded me of the pregnancy tickles I used to get with my previous pregnancies, but I must bear in mind that I also get the tickles around ovulation and sometimes before AF, so it's literally just my uterus doing stuff. Or my IBS. 🙈 Yesterday I smelled a plate and I thought it smelled really weird and put me off my food. Not sure what that was about.

I wish it was test day already! I can't seem to focus on anything else now.

@Stillwinston sorry to hear it is negative today too 😔

I am okay thanks. It’s on my mind a lot and I am desperate to test. But I know it’s too early (7dpo today).

Every month I just prepare myself for a negative test. But I am always hopeful to have a positive one. But you know how it is, each month gets harder and harder!

Hi everyone! Hope it's okay for me to join.

I'm currently 8/9dpo (missed a day with the LH strips so not 100%) and I could have sworn I saw the faintest of lines on a test this morning. Saw an even fainter one yesterday that made me think I was going crazy (then 2 more through the day showed nothing).

Got a wedding to attend on Friday so really hoping for an obvious positive by then. Am I crazy or can anyone else see the second line too? (Obviously I'm aware it could very well be an indent, but hopefully not!).

It's cycle 2 of ttc #1, but 1st cycle properly trying.

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess welcome! I see the line! But I am always cautious of cheapy strips. Can you hold a wee and avoid fluids for 4 hours and test with an FRER? X

missmoosh · 03/05/2023 12:29

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess I see like a shadow maybe? I have been burnt twice with evaps though on those tests. Was it within time frame and pink?

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 03/05/2023 12:41

@TTCing unfortunately not, there's no Frer anywhere near me! All out of stock. I'll try again tomorrow morning with fmu again and see if it's any more noticeable

@missmoosh can't say for sure as I didn't check the time 🤦‍♀️and it was too faint to say for sure if there was any pink, but I could have sworn there was a slight tint. Just gonna have to try again tomorrow morning and see if it's any darker.

ar91 · 03/05/2023 12:50

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess I see a shadow too!
Hopefully your one tomorrow is darker. Keep us posted!

Ttcmumma · 03/05/2023 19:51

Hey ladies, I thought I posted on this thread when it was made but clearly not 😮. I'm somewhere between 3-5dpo and stressing myself out already because I don't even know when I ovulated 🫣

Welcome @Ttcmumma ! Glad to have you with us! Maybe just go by 3dpo to be on the safe side and to avoid testing too early xx

ar91 · 04/05/2023 08:29

@StressyErica it's such a pain that the symptoms can be so similar isn't it! Have you noticed any more this morning?

Husband left to work away early this morning. My BBT has shot up but I think it's because I woke up at 4am when he left then just dozed so should probably ignore todays haha.

How's everyone holding up? Getting close to test time for some of us 😬 x

Stillwinston · 04/05/2023 08:43

I'm out 😭 AF arrived 4 days early - onto cycle 25 for us 👎🏻 sending baby dust to everyone, hopefully this thread will be lucky - especially keeping my fingers crossed for you op @TTCing ❤️

ar91 · 04/05/2023 08:47

@Stillwinston oh I'm so sorry to hear AF showed up! I really hope 25 becomes your lucky number xx

Stillwinston · 04/05/2023 09:01

Thanks @ar91 😊

Ttcmumma · 04/05/2023 09:03

@Stillwinston ah I was really hoping you guys from the previous thread would definitely get your bfps this month! So sorry you're out x

missmoosh · 04/05/2023 09:08

@Stillwinston I'm so sorry to hear AF showed up, that really sucks

8dpo today and nothing out of the ordinary, not going to bother testing this month, just wait for AF to show up. I'm already to stressed to see another bfn...

Lilothblos · 04/05/2023 09:50

So sorry @Stillwinston , hope you can get some down time today with a glass or mug of something nice.

@missmoosh I’m 8dpo today too, will try and hold off on testing until AF too but we’ll see. So far I feel exactly the same as last month too.

XenaTheWarriorPrincess · 04/05/2023 10:18

Sorry to hear AF showed up @Stillwinston , hopefully next month is your month.

Took another IC this morning with fmu, definitely negative. So yesterday's was an evap or indent. Only 10dpo so not out yet though. AF due Saturday so I'll test Sunday if it's not arrived.

StressyErica · 04/05/2023 10:54

Sorry to hear AF turned up @Stillwinston . It's so disappointing but I'm crossing my fingers cycle 25 is your lucky cycle!

Also sorry to hear your test was a negative @XenaTheWarriorPrincess , but like you said there's still time! Hope it turns into a BFP.

I'm a bit miserable today. I think it may be PMS because I feel really quite depressed. I don't think I have any symptoms now bar sore boobs and I can just feel that it's not my month. I'm only 7dpo so things can change but I have a feeling it's not going to happen. We'll see.

@Stillwinston oh no 😔 I’m so sorry to hear this! Sending you lots of love and thinking of you ❤️ Have a glass of wine and have a little extra self care over this long weekend coming ❤️ and thank you, bless you! Xx

8dpo here! Had to resist the urge to test today! Knew it would be pointless and I’d regret it after!

I’m also feeling a bit low and miserable today. Likely PMS! Just want AF to arrive so that I can move on to the next cycle. Fairly certain I’m not pregnant (although I know there’s still time). I’ve had no symptoms at all.

I know I’ll be tempted again to test tomorrow. Will I be able to resist?!

Lilothblos · 04/05/2023 13:55

@TTCing @Bethpotter111 impressive resolve, we can make it at least another day of not testing 💪!

Bethpotter111 · 04/05/2023 13:57

@Lilothblos thank you so hard not to over analyse everything!!!! And I've got one app saying af is today another saying Monday so confused when is your af due fingers crossed for both of us!
