Ovulating!

[Jess1997]

Hey everyone! Just looking for people ovulating around the same time as me to chat with! I got a high ovulation test today, assuming from other months that I’ll get my peak tomorrow! I do always get ovulation cramps so I can tell before I even test that I’m ovulating! I am getting really sharp pains in my left ovary so I’m wondering if there’s an egg coming from that side! I’ve never had these pains before! I’ve been TTC for nearly 2 years now.. I had a MMC in December of 2022, 2 chemicals in 2023 and then an ectopic on my c section scar in October/November! So this is the first month I’m allowed to TTC after getting methotrexate to treat the ectopic! I’ve been in a few other chats with people around the same dpo as me but they’re all now expecting! So excited for them! I’d love to hear everyone else’s stories ❤️

how have you managed to hold off on testing!! However if you take one tomorrow and it’s negative don’t let it get you down! You’re not out until your period comes!
And I always wished I had bigger boobs but I didn’t realise how handy small boobs were 😂 I never had to wear a bra and I never had to worry about my boobs not fitting into tops 🙃🙃 I think they mostly stayed because some of the weight stayed too 😂 pre baby I was skinny 🙃

@Jess1997 I think it’s because I know it will be negative, which it is . It’s now the 4 day wait for my period. I hate wearing bras, to not wear a bra would be my perfect world. Oh don’t taken me nearly 6 years to loose my baby weight.

@Mumma8538 i always find my PM pee is stronger than my AM pee! Don’t get me wrong I’m by no means big I’m only a size 12 but I did used to be an 8 😂 I just keep thinking what’s the point is losing weight when I’m trying to get pregnant again

@Jess1997 I don’t think my PM wee would be strong enough as I drink so much water throughout the day , I will test again in the morning though me thinks.
a size 12 is a healthy weight I can def see your thinking. I have tried to loose a bit just because I was a 14 but now I’m a 12 so my thinking is it’s ok to put the baby weight on now.
how are you feeling today, my nausea has gone so I def think that was just something else.
i have lower back pain that’s a bit more intense but that could just be because my AF is a brewing .

@Mumma8538 yeah I defo don’t mind being a 12, the thing that really bothers me about my body is my belly 😭 I just absolutely hate it! I can’t even focus on symptoms today because I woke up with the sorest neck/back.. like right where my neck meets my back, Everytime I move my head I’m in agony 😭 never had back pain like it

I think @Jess1997 that’s after pregnant our tummy’s never go back to how they used to be it’s like our body shape changes.
that sounds really painful , have you pulled it or slept funny ? Try have a bath tonight yo see if that helps

@Mumma8538 yeah I know 😭 still got my wee pouch 😂 and I must have slept on it funny cause I woke up in agony! My LG always ends up in my bed during the night and we have a super king bed but I always end up hanging off the side because she likes to be glued to me

Same @Jess1997 we are all there ! Has it got better throughout the day?
I think you could have the biggest bed in the world and you would still be hanging off 🤣

@Mumma8538 it’s defo not as sore as it was! But still not great, just about to hop in the bath. I’ve been feeling super nauseous for the last half hour or so but it could just be from the back pain!

@Jess1997 a bath is my go to for most things, always makes me feel better. I’ll be having one tonight I feel very tired and need a little relax before the working week starts again. What is your thinking on hot baths, as I love mine steaming.
could well be from the pain or could be cells doing its thang down there ✨

@Mumma8538 pre baby I used to bath 3 nights a week for a minimum of 3/4 hours with a bottle of wine and a book 😂😂😂 now I generally bath in a lukewarm tub surrounded by toys and a 3 year old 😂😂 I rarely bath alone these days and I can’t even do it when she’s asleep cause it’s so loud and right next to her bedroom! I like my bath to hurt.. 0 cold water

I also like to bath in the dark wirh 20 candles lit 😂

This is my perfect night … long hot bath with wine and a book 😍 I used to do the same pre baby but how times change in the bath now.
I hope you get an alone one tonight so you can relax your back/ neck!
candles are the one as well… got to set the scene in a bath get the ambience !
I think I notice more symptoms in the evening when I’m not running about or it’s just I’m over thinking as my brain is wired but starting to feel nausea again and cramping.. I’m honestly starting to think this is just one horrid AF that is brewing 😭

@Mumma8538 i actually haven’t even read a book since Ophelia was born 😂😂 however I recently got into audiobooks and I am obsessed! I’ve only been listening for about 2 months and I’ve already got nearly 20 books under my belt 😂
im really trying not to symptom spot HOWEVER I just went to the toilet and there was a lot of yellow discharge (sorry tmi) and I googled it and yellow discharge is a sign of blood in the uterus that could be implantation!

@Jess1997 your daughters name is beautiful 😍 that’s such a good idea you know audiobooks as I try and read and it normally takes me 6 months to read one book 😆 20 that’s highly impressive!
nothing is tmi you can be as honest as you like! That’s a bit exciting you know, that must be a new symptom for you too and not your regular cycle symptom! How many DPO’s are you now? I also didn’t know this!!

@Mumma8538 i think I keep
reading your messages first thing and then forgetting about them 😂😂 I’m 7DPO today, for the last few hours I’ve had such a sore sharp pain in the right of my section scar, nervous cause that’s the side I had the ectopic on a few months ago! But section scar ectopics are the rarest form of ectopic so I’m hardly gonna get it twice (would be my luck) how are you today?

Don’t worry about it @Jess1997 I write early morning when I have time 😝
surly not you would imagine that it could happen twice ! But you know your body and keep an eye on it, could it be implanting pain and you ovulated that side?
my tender boobs have gone down , some sudden pains up my moo moo but I think it’s more likely my cervix moving down ready for AF as due Thursday . I’ll do another test in the morning but not holding out much hope!

@Mumma8538 Yano I’ve actually never checked my cervix! I see people talking about it on here all the time and I’m like.. how do you know 😂 also I have a tilted uterus so I wonder if that would affect the at home checking? I never had a tilted cervix pre Ophelia but every scan I’ve had since her they’ve told me it’s tilted so it must have been from the c section! I’m 8DPO today and I swear I have a super super faint line but it won’t even pick up on the camera so I’m telling myself if it’s not obvious it’s not there! How’re you feeling today? When is your af due?

Can’t say I’m one for checking my cervix either but some people can tell they are pregnant or not from it. Might be tricky for you to know if tilted as probably at a different angle !
oh my gosh that’s exciting … but it might well be there if there is a super faint line.
i feel very much like I’m going to come on my AF, I’m due Thursday and had period pains this morning like I normally do and my normal bit aggy that comes with it so I I’m near on certain I’m out.
my tender boobs normally get a bit tender a day or 2 before AF and they have done just that too.

@Mumma8538 I dunno I’ve convinced myself it was either faulty or it’s in my head. I keep feeling like my periods coming today even tho according to my app it’s not due till Monday! And my app is normally very spot on!

I have read somewhere @Jess1997 that March and October AF can be different .. something to do with the moon I think 🤣

@Mumma8538 I started looking up threads on if implantation can feel like period cramps and I actually found a thread I posted in October describing the exact same thing 😂😂😂and I actually was pregnant at that point (ectopic)

Well this through me did a test this morning ( bottom) I actually thought for a second wow this is it but then there shouldn’t be the pink in the white bit so it’s either flooded or faulty. I did the other test (top) this evening and I thought it was white until I put it next to the faulty one and then I think… is there a really faint line ?? I was going to have a wine tonight but think I’ll hold off and test again in the morning.. think I’m just seeing things.. the mind plays tricks on you doesn’t it !

How funny @Jess1997 your looking up about it and it’s you that wrote it 😆

@Mumma8538 wow I’m sure that bottom one made your heart stop! I will say I do see a super faint line on the top one too tho!!! Crossing everything!
