TTC #1, starting first ever TWW

[ano24]

👋

Anyone else in a similar position?

@ano24 I've not heard of that, hopefully everything is back on track just a slightly later ovulation date.
Nope no increase as of yet, I've done two today and still 0.07 and 0.08, I am actually thinking I might have ovulated earlier when I detected my rise 🤷🏻 I will see how it goes I'm meant to be 2dpo today I think. Will see when AF arrives.

@Notawalker yes that's what I'm hoping now. And how weird, that's such a pain. Do you think you covered it if you did ovulate early this time? Hope you're not feeling too low about it all 💐 such a frustrating process

@ano24 I think I've heard of them in passing, the name seems sort of familiar, but not one I've ever looked at.

Seems we're all having a weird month!

Hey girls how are you getting on? @BlueAjah @Notawalker

6dpo over here and no symptoms but also not obsessing this month. Been pretty busy so it's flying by!

Did you keep OPK testing @Notawalker or give up in the end?

Fingers crossed for some good luck for us soon 🙏

Hey guys I'm out this month, I've come on 4 days early so guessing I saw the back end of my peak when I started testing this month. Tbh it's been a mental ,4/5 weeks so had mind on lots of things. Will just carry on I think.

How's everyone doing?

Sorry to heard that @Notawalker. @ano24 how are you doing?

I'm pretty sure I'm out, just waiting for AF basically. I think I ovulated later than I should have due to that weird period. I saw my donor Monday eve, thinking I was ovulating tues or Weds, but pretty sure I actually ovulated on Saturday. I'm not sure any of the donation would still be alive at that point but 🤷🏻‍♀️. I've decided I'm not testing at all this time, just going to wait it out

Oh guys what a pain!! @Notawalker @BlueAjah

That means all of us had ovulation either early or late this month! Was there something in the water??

Even though mine was late I did catch it so was feeling quite optimistic again for this month but sadly also just waiting for AF now. Just did a test (10dpo) and negative, and getting telltale mild AF cramps and back ache. She's comin 😔

Hi everyone. 3 days before AF arrives. ttc #7 since MMC in December. Took a test today, this was the result. Indent or a fl?

@ano24 @Notawalker hey, just thought I'd check in and see how you're both doing?

@BlueAjah we must have had the same thought this morning 😂 I'm ok, just in my fertile window now so fingers crossed for this month, my readings are currently high so watching out for my peak.

How are you getting on?

@ano24 did your af arrive as expected?

I'm just waiting for AF to start, was due on Saturday but still nothing. Took a cheapy test this morning and it was negative, so I'm wondering if the delayed ovulation is delaying AF. If it is, should come on by Weds.
I'm so bloated though I look pregnant! 🤦🏻‍♀️ super annoying

Nice @Notawalker! Enjoy yourselves 😆

AF did arrive yes, I was gutted, but now looking ahead to next opportunities and trying to be positive. Though as ovulation was delayed I ended up having a really long cycle so I'm quite a bit behind you now!

How are you feeling @BlueAjah? Able to try again this month?

@BlueAjah have you had symptoms of AF been due? Fingers crossed you've been lucky this time

@ano24 I think we have all been mess around this last month, it hard when normally I'm like clock work so it's really thrown me this time. Are you still keeping a eye on your levels?

@Notawalker no symptoms as yet, really don't know what's going on 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Notawalker I know what you mean. Ideally I was going to ditch the sticks this month and just DTD every 2-3 days and see how that goes. But with my unpredictable ovulation last month I'm still undecided.

I'll prob just try chilling out a bit this month, not like being deliberate and organised has helped so far!

Hey guys, how's everyone doing this month? Any positive feelings/symptoms?

Hiya @Notawalker all good over here thanks, how are you doing?

Decided I needed to reset my expectations with this process and accept that this may take me a while. So this month I ditched the OPKs and symptom checking etc. and have just been DTD every other day.

I think I'm entering the TWW now so just going to try and keep my mind off it and remind myself that it's exciting we're even trying. I'll be so thrilled to get a positive eventually, but trying not to expect that it will necessarily be soon and just enjoy this stage. Easier said than done but worth a shot for my sanity!

What stage of cycle are you at? Sending positive vibes.

@ano24 that sounds like a good way to do it. My app says I'm due on tomorrow but after last month where AF turned up over a week early I'm really not sure.

I have been umming and ahhing about it all due to age and that but I have just booked a LH holiday for when I would be due if I did catch on 🙈 (wasn't intentional but I'm now restricted to school holidays)

@Notawalker fingers crossed it doesn't show. Are you feeling optimistic? Any symptoms or anything?

I think booking that holiday sounds like a fab idea because either way is win win! Always nice to have something to look forward to. Going anywhere nice?

@ano24 no real system, boob slightly sore but done a test this morning as I'm not sure when I'm due on cos of past month, my app is saying I should have my AF earlier this week but going by my dates before dodgy month it's next week either way test was negative.

We've booked to go to Vegas 😂 we've been before a few times and it was cheaper so thought why not 😂

@BlueAjah how you getting on?

Hi both, well AF eventually showed up, a week and a half late. I've decided to take September off, work is manic at the moment and I don't want to think the stress of it is having a negative effect. I'm going to just temp and do LH tests to just make sure I'm understanding my timing correctly.

Jealous of the holiday though @Notawalker! I'd love to do Vegas one day

Vegas! Omg @Notawalker that will be fab. What a great trip to look forward to. Sore boobs over here too, I don't want to overthink this but noticing each day my nips are a lot more sore than they usually are 🤞 otherwise no other symptoms.

@BlueAjah that sounds like a good idea, hope you can reset and it will only make you feel more clear headed for next go ❤️

And honestly, who have I become 😆 I was just stood in my kitchen prodding my boobs thinking 'ooo pain, yay, I must tell my internet friends'!

Absolutely love this! 🤣 🤞It's a sign.

@BlueAjah that sounds a good idea, I think stress has such affect on us.

I love Vegas would recommend it to anyone there is so much more to do than just gambling and drinking, my little one loves it too he is always saying "going on holiday on a plane to Vegas tomorrow" 🙈

That is so cute @Notawalker ❤️

Negative test for me this morning. Still early but I just know what's me out again now for this cycle I can tell. It's all so tough when you want it so much.
