Anyone about to go into an ovulation week?

[Mama09876]

Hey!

TTC our 2nd been putting it off for a while but this month I’m going to be actively trying and testing LH etc
reading other posts feels as though everyone is already in there TWW this Aug 😂 so looking for company, anyone whose still waiting for their ovulation week.

I only used BBT when falling pregnant with my first but haven’t being doing it as regularly as I did back then.
Ive been trying to take my temp the past couple of weeks and natural cycles predicting ovulation on Weds!
what’s everyone plan of attack? 😂 I’m going to use LH strips from tomorrow onwards and as soon as I get my peak start DTD! Very sceptical it’ll happen this month with it being the first official month of trying but we shall see!
Hoping for some company if anyone is at a similar stage in their cycle?

Great news you’ve got your peak! I don’t take the pre natal vitamins. I just take vit D and Folic acid but I have read on a lot of posts they can delay ovulation.

@Itonlytakesone i don’t drink any more but when i did I would have a drink. I think with my first I was completely by the book but this time round I’m like if I’m pregnant I’m pregnant I’m still eating Brie and drinking coffee it’ll be fine 😂 much more relaxed! But yeah until you get a positive id still relax and enjoy yourself.

Actually I think I'm going to leave having a wine it's as if my body heard me.. new symptom just started - a tight stretchy feeling in lower abdomen I never get this so I'm going to test on 8dpo but remain wine Prosecco free for now. @Mama09876 you having this?

@Itonlytakesone that’s a good signs. I got a few twinges last month but nothing happened.
Literally no symptoms from me, I’m feeling knackered this afternoon but that’ll be the post ovulation oestrogen drip.

@Mama09876 I'm hoping good signs. Chippy tea it was & fizzy pop pjs and chill roll on when I can test next week I'm thinking at 8dpo Tuesday (it'll probably be a false alarm though!)

This sounds like a perfect Friday night!!

I’ll be looking forward to watching you ladies who starting to test early! I’m holding out till my periods due which I think is 30th.

Also holding out on testing until about 29th, can’t handle the trying to look for a faint line etc, it’ll drive me mad 😂

@LuckyDuck93 Amen! I know I said the same last month and caved at 10 dpo but I’ll be on holiday this time and I’m much more excited about that 😂 and it’ll take my mind of it.
I’m 100% holding out this time. I’ll take a rest ready for the 30th

@Mama09876
My periods due 30th too and it's like clockwork at the moment so we'll see

@LuckyDuck93
I know I maybe should just wait like you two the lines are so faint and you start seeing things that aren't actually there🙈. Iv got cheap Amazon tests so I know I'll cave though🤣x

@Itonlytakesone this is exciting! All due on at the same time.
I do understand why ladies test earlier, but I don’t think it can help with the mental side of things, just from a personal point of view. I’d rather it be a yes or no.

Natural Cycles have finally confirmed my ovulation! And put it back one day 🤦🏼‍♀️ so I’m now 6 DPO today! Luckily I managed to DTD in the early hours so the only time we did it was on ovulation day. Again not feeling that optimistic but we’ll see.

woke up with a bit of a head ache this morning and just tired yesterday but I know that happens any way after ovulation with the dip.
im the opposite this month any symptoms I think I’m getting im like ‘that’ll be dip in oestrogen’ last month I was all over the symptoms and I ended up coming on my period so don’t want any hopes to be raised in my head not till I see a positive.

@Mama09876 you're ahead now at 6dpo how exciting. I know the symptoms could be do do with af brewing so I'm confused as well not getting my hopes up.

I had very real/vivid dreams again last night I only get them when im pregnant and iv got pulling stretch feeling low down and I'm also very hungry - just about to have a McDonald's breakfast (I do normally eat well honestly 🤣)

I'm going to test early because I saw a definite line 8dpo last time even though it ended as a blighted ovum - what are the chances of this happening again🙈

Anyone still waiting for ovulation? On day 14 but my LH levels are still so low. I'm trying to get into the routine of doing them in the afternoon (only really possible some days due to work) as I have been doing them in the mornings, and I know that's not generally the best time. My cycles seem to be 28-29 days long. With the cycle i fell pregnant with my son I didn't get my peak until day 19, so I think my luteal phase must be on the shorter side! I suppose there are potentially still 5 days to go but I find it frustrating to see the low numbers! I had some EWCM a few days ago which seems to have disappeared again. This is my first cycle so it all feels a bit unknown (fell first cycle with my son so didn't do much tracking then either!)

I don’t think I’ve ovulated yet @Possumly
I am wondering if it’s linked to the pre-conception vitamins I started taking this month

Can’t go wrong with a McDonalds breakfast and it’s the weekend so it doesn’t count 😂

That sounds really promising! I really hope it doesn’t happy again for you. Exciting not long now till you test

@CosmoMango ah, maybe! I'm only taking Folic acid and vit D right now. What CD are you on? I've just taken my LH test for today and it's now 0.35, was 0.16 yesterday, and 0.06 the day before, so looks like mine is slowly starting to rise🤞I have my fingers crossed for you too

@Mama09876
Sharp pain left ovary now it feels very odd had to take paracetamol

@Possumly
I'm intrigued about the ovulation testing I'm not doing anything. So if I was to start this next month where do I buy the kits?

Iv been on Google🙈

I'm doubting everything this afternoon because I had that terrible cramping at 2dpo. I think it felt bad enough to be a fail this month. It's so hard isn't it

Amazon! I have the easy@home ones.

@Possumly I’m on CD19 I only started testing my LH on CD17 as I was meant to be having a month off and just DTD every day but I didn’t feel like I’d ovulated.
0.46 on CD17
0.44 on CD18
0.24 today but mine are often lower in the morning. Usually ovulated CD17-19

Very confused and frustrated.

0.24 is the lowest I’ve ever had, usually I sit around 0.35 before I start to rise so feeling quite worried.

@CosmoMango @Possumly do you think maybe you’ve missed it? Or maybe just ovulating later? I don’t use the number ones I’d just go by eye. Have you got any photos?

@Itonlytakesone for my sins I’ve been thinking I’ve noticed a few things today 🤦🏼‍♀️ felt a bit queasy at the petrol station & I had a period like pain but I’ve just got to keep remembering it was the same for me last month when I was negative.
must of been painful for you to take paracetamol! Hope you’re ok x

@Mama09876 I could have missed it I suppose since I wasn’t tracking whilst on holiday. We have DTD 11 times this cycle so hopefully we have it covered regardless and will just continue until AF arrives. However I haven’t really had any ovulation signs and pregnacare seems to often lengthen cycles (but supposedly increases egg quality). I’m usually a regular 31 day cycle

@Mama09876 these are prev cycles and this month. Feeling really upset and worried it’s because of the supplements.

@CosmoMango sorry I forgot you said you were taking the pregnacare. Yeah you’re right it can lengthen cycles I’ve heard that.
keep doing what your doing, keep testing, if the tests look darker maybe try taking them twice a day? Just to see if they get even darker.

i think you’re doing everything you can hopefully it won’t be too long now!
