Fertile now group!!

[Familyfirst12]

Hi ladies, I started a thread a couple of cycles ago and found it so helpful chatting to people at exactly the same point so we could go through the TWW together and eventually test together. I think this is cycle 5 of TTC our first (losing track), anyway… I am ovulating around Tuesday and currently have flashing smiley on clear blue OPK, so we’re in the thick of dtd ever day!!! Looking forward to having a little group of cycle buddies for this month… I found last month so awful and had a really low week when AF showed, here’s hoping this month is our month x

That's good to know @ThelastRolo20 @sirensong thank you for the reassurance. Possibly I wasn't paying enough attention prior to ovulation!

@ThelastRolo20 Well it's good you are getting a bit of POAS practice in early right, perfect that technique! 😂last cycle was so depressing I was waiting til 11dpo so I excitedly wake up and go to the bathroom to do my test and see that i've just started AF! Never even got to do a single test 😂at least I had minimal time to obsess.

@YorkshirePeridot yeah I never have loads of CM. I have to ermmm go searching for it a bit

Hope everyone is getting on ok. 3 day weekend incoming, I'm super busy so that should distract me for a few days!

Still waiting for my loser LH to get with the programme. First hint of a rise today.

Ah! The shame of not having a chance to POAS last month 😂

I'm still cramping today at 5DPO, and just had the weirdest white string bit of discharge - very weird. But surely at 5DPO this means nothing. Admittedly I didn't track ovulation but I imagine I'd only be a day out at most!

How's everyone else getting on?

Ha! It's so painful waiting for it to rise. Any other increase today?

I have just realised the discharge may be due to me prodding my cervix earlier... Never done it before, I came away having learned nothing 😂

I never get any ovulation symptoms and never have. No ewcm, no feeling randy. I'm maybe a little more tired mid-cycle, but that's it.

Cycles are really regular though. Is it possible to have super regular anovulatory cycles? 🤔

I dreamt last night that I started bleeding heavily during the tww. Quite glad it wasn't true when I woke up. Probably because I've had ovulation spotting the last few cycles and not a hint of it this cycle. Trying not to read into it.

Hope everyone is sane and not going too crazy!

@QuantumPanic it might be helpful for you to track bbt. Your temp will increase after you ovulate so even if you have no symptoms you will know you have still ovulated :)

@YorkshirePeridot oh god the dreams during TTC are just something else. So vivid! Last month I had the most vivid dream that I got a bpf. I was so so so happy (in my dream), woke up happy etc. went to the bathroom and my AF had just started 😭 emotional rollercoaster 😅

Hey Guys,

I am having peak results on OPK since yesterday night but I couldn't DTD because i had an argument with DH (its his fault BTW)😣 and not sure if its gonna happen tonight as well, but we DTD a day before yesterday is it possible to get pregnant?
although i will try my best to DTD today😅

My cycle appears to have lengthened by around 3 days recently so it's all delayed as attached.

I’m 5dpo today and felt some strange subtle shooting pain this morning but probably all in my head as suuuuuper early. With my first I just KNEW, my boobs felt so so sensitive, did a test at 9dpo and it was a really clear BFP. Let see what the next few days bring, trying to stay chill 🤪

Hello lovely ladies! Please may I join this gang? Pretty sure I ovulated today as peaked LH on OPKs yesterday, but I never get any ovulation symptoms... 3rd month of trying for no 2, feeling my age at 38 tho...

Absolutely possible to still get pregnant 🥰 just be very nice today haha

I don't get ovulation symptoms either 😊 I'm also TTC no 2, first month trying after a couple of miscarriages

@CapricornDiaries5194 Pause the feud and resume with vigor in a few days instead. Though your session the night before peak was also bang in the fertile zone if the rage must be maintained today.

(Disclaimer - these graphs are randomly selected. Different sites show different percentages by day but you get the idea.)

Crisis resolved tonight is going to be war zone in a good way☺️

Awwww thank you so much for this ❣️

@CapricornDiaries5194 I try to contain my sass during the fertile window for this reason 😂all arguments must occur in the other 3.5 weeks :) anyway sounds like you're all good timings-wise.

@sirensong love the % chart! I'm actually quite surprised day of ovulation is only 20% (I thought that was a key day) but actually peak and peak-1/-2 are way more important. Will bear that in mind for the inevitable next month.

@sirensong Love the percentages chart, v interesting! Also surprised Ovulation day is lower... I'm glad we DTD the day before and two days - two days before more luck than judgement!!

I think there are a couple of other runners in this group?! I am running a 10K race tomorrow (am a regular runner) - it's not going to hinder anything is it!?!?!!?

I will Try to contain it for today and tomorrow😅

@Sarah268 Some other sites do say the two main ones are the day before ovulation and day of ovulation itself. I reckon always try at least a couple of times across the period: two days before ovulation - one day before - day of - day after.

I guess ultimately we are all different and all it takes is one little swimmer.

@LoulouM12 I run a lot and have been continuing to do so. I've done quite a bit of reading into it and it seems that as long as you have a history of doing a particular sport then it should be fine. But don't take up something new when ttc or pregnant (especially something high impact like running, sure yoga etc would be ok). Also as long as you aren't overtraining and you are fuelling enough then it should be ok. If anything, keep doing what you love to do as putting your life on hold is not good!

The running might show some of the lazy sperm how it's done and gee them up.

You'd be so ticked off if you were one of the four day old sperm clinging on for dear life with astonishing resolve, only for a newly released spritely lad to dance past you on ovulation day.

I've been running recently too and was debating carrying on during TWW but i figured the likelihood of having a negative impact is low, and I'd be so annoyed if I had a negative test anyway!
