Come wait with me - May TWW

[HavinKittens]

I can see lots of TWW threads for end of April but I thought I’d start one for any of us who are 1dpo in early May.

I’m 1dpo today. Fourth cycle of trying for second baby. Ovulation day came a week early for us this week, but we DTD 3 times in the fertile window so I’m hopeful.

I don’t remember getting any early symptoms with my last pregnancy.

I usually test waaaay too much. So get ready to see loads of iffy faint lines -ha!

What about you?

Still no peak on OPK and I'm CD20

@HavinKittens is it you my lovely that has medication to bring on ovulation? I'm wondering if it's worth speaking to the GP?

@HavinKittens so blue is temp, what's orange? Should I be measuring something else?

@HavinKittens thank you so much for your help!! I feel clueless with all this stuff

No medication yet. I am getting a blood test next week to check if I am ovulating. I think if that came back as too low then they might offer me something.

May just be that you’re ovulating late this month?

always worth asking tho

The orange is LH :)

@HavinKittens thanks so much for this, I really didn’t understand bbt to be honest, I’d never taken the time to look into it properly but this is a great explanation and it’s so clear to see then on the charts. I’m deff going to start this next month if unsuccessful (but 🤞🏽 I do t have to 🙂)

No worries, I’m glad my being a nerd has paid off for someone else 😅

I’m 1-2 DPO and despite saying I wouldn’t symptom spot I’m already googling lightning crotch 🤦🏻‍♀️

@HavinKittens af arrived and I decided to take a little break from posting. I think I ovulated on cd 11 or 12 this month and we managed to did on cd11, so there's some hope. AF due 15th June.

@TreeRose I'm due in 16th.

Joining please! I'm 4dpo so have been looking for a thread of people at a similar time. Obviously randomly symptom sporting too early. Tired and hungry but that's quite normal for me- lol.

Cycle 5 ttc #2. (Ridiculous time of morning due to DS).

@Secondtimettc welcome ❤️
I was also awake at 2:30 with DD 🙄😂😴

I haven’t been on recently, so having a break from tracking this month and nearly missed the window 🙄 I think OV is either today or tomorrow. So fingers crossed we have some chance 🙈

@Secondtimettc welcome!
How old is your little one?

I’ve had a busy month, only dtd twice in ovulation week, so we will see. AF is due 14th June. Baby dust to everyone

We only dtd once in ovulation week but it was the predicted day of ovulation according to Flo and my OPKs…. I swing between feeing we have a good chance to feeling well it was only once so probably unlikely

@CinderRosie its so hard isn’t it just the constant hoping and waiting. My partner really deserves to get the chance to be a dad again he had such a rough time with his ex who moved a long way away so he only sees his son in Holidays

@Sarahloudobby i know what you mean - my DH has no children (I have an 18 year old) and he’s really longing to be a dad.

I think these are getting darker, it's hard to tell, but I think they are. CD21. I know I can have long cycles though (my son was conceived in a long cycle!) and I've experienced some ovulation pain/skin changes. My BBT dropped today but it's hard to rely on that as I often wake up midway through the night for a wee and go back to sleep again for 3-4 hours.

Sorry meant to attach.

I'm supposed to be in the office on Tues (6 hour round trip, I work remotely) and won't get back until midnight but thinking I might sack it off (it's not mandatory) as DP is off work that day 😂

@PollyDarton1 do you usually see a gradual increase? My last peak came really suddenly. Ewcm is my best predictor, otherwise I think I’d probably miss my peak.

@PollyDarton1 I’m the same, EWCM is the biggest indicator for me. I OPK test every day but can go from a very low reading to peak within 24 hours or less. As soon as I feel the EWCM I know peak is here! My boobs hurt as soon as i get a high reading as well.

I don't really know. This would be the first month of taking OPK regularly if that makes sense as I've never actively TTC before. I occasionally get EWCM but not often. I can sometimes tell when I'm ovulating (pain, headaches, feeling sensitive) but I only really know I'm due on when my boobs start to hurt by which post ovulation has passed.

Ah okay, sorry I had forgotten you’ve only jus started with OPKs!
Keep us posted. Maybe you’ll get to know some more signs.
