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?

@CosmoMango replied just as you sent the photo! I see what you mean now. They’re defo lighter than your previous months but it might just be that you’re ovulating later on maybe? I’d keep testing and see what they’re like over next couple of days x

11 times already bloody hell! I only managed once 😂.

@Mama09876
I know I was getting a little overwhelmed and obsessed about every 'symptom' which could be brought on by overthinking so I ended up having a glass of Prosecco. What will be will be - I can't be like this every month it's all consuming my stomach was getting all tense 🥺

They seem to be getting more faint rather than darker @Mama09876. I thought about stopping the pregnacare but my husband said if it improves egg quality surely that’s a good thing. I’ve ordered some bloods to check if I’m ovulating too but can’t decide whether to bother to take them this month as my cycle seems super messed up

We did every other day until suppose fertile window @Itonlytakesone then been doing once daily since then but not had any true ovulation signs and don’t want to stop now :(

Hi ladies,

@CosmoMango hopefully you've managed to catch it with all the BD, but just missed it when testing.

@Itonlytakesone hope all those little signs leads to your bfp.

So finally got my peak on CD20, 2/3 days later than usual. And experienced my usual ovulation pain (absolutely awful pains), so I am assuming that I will or have ovulated today. We DTD on CD14 and was hoping that would be enough if I ovulated when I was supposed to. But yeah didn't happen like that and my hubby and I have been bickering all week🤣 but I get him to DTD tonight hopefully 😉. But I'm sure we are probably out this cycle, which is fine becuase we didnt really make an effort.

Anyone testing tomorrow?

@CosmoMango where did you read it improves egg quality? The only reason I ask is I’ve read a few things saying there’s not much in the multi vitamin pregnancy care ones that you can’t just get from vit D/Folic acid. If you’re looking at improving egg quality Co Q10 is the vitamin you need you can get them from boots now but I think high strength you can get off Amazon. I’ve read they can delay ovulation as well but for the better with egg quality etc. just maybe something to look in to if it’s something your concerned about 🥰

This was us in my fertile week! 😂 but managed to get an early morning dtd the morning after my peak which fell on ovulation day.
im not feeling to hopeful myself! But you never know!
jump on him tonight and hope for the best 😂

@Mama09876 Yes the one I’m taking has COQ-10 in it which is what I’m concerned about being the cause. There’s nothing proven which is annoying. I’ve read every scientific paper under the sun it feels like. I don’t have any reason to think my eggs would be poor quality and my AMH levels are really good as had those tested just incase. I’m veggie so just thought vitamins would be beneficial regardless and didn’t want to take one with Vit A.

I just hate the limbo each month as I handle so many drugs at work and deal with imported animals, anaesthetics, X-rays that pose risk etc I just want my positive so I can have a risk assessment. I had a positive a few months ago and then a colleague accidentally jabbed me with a syringe containing a drug that causes abortion I’ll never know if it was a CP or the drug that caused it. So I’m just very nervous about it all

Also the vitamins were in the sale so got 4 month’s worth for £5 so thought they were worth a try. Now I’m not so sure, the COQ-10 isn’t even at the recommended dose in the pregnacare but why do so many people have issues with their cycle afterwards?

@CosmoMango right, that would make sense then! With the potential delay. I took them for one month before I fell pregnant with my first and it delayed my cycle for sure, I just took the Coq10.

cricky! That sounds terrible what happened in work! Completely get with your line of work you just need to know positive/negative as soon as possible. Hope you have an idea about your ovulation soon!

@Mama09876 I can’t decide whether to stop them and just take folic acid and vit D as I have folic acid in the house too so could switch easily.

it was a positive on 10DPO and I bled 3 days later so likely a chemical but I’ll never know. It was awful too, vomiting and unable to stand due to the pain and I bled for over 10 days.

@CosmoMango gosh that’s sounds horrid! Sorry you had to go through that. Things us women go through.

If you think they’re benefiting you stick with it. I’m just going off personal experience I never took them with my first and just stuck to Vit D/Folic acid. As long as Folic acid that’s the main thing isn’t it.

@Mama09876 yes I suppose folic acid is the main thing. I’ve had a fair bit of pain this last 3/4 days ago. Like my lower abdomen feels stretched/bruised and it feels heavy. Very difficult to explain but I was wondering if it was linked as others reported diarrhoea. I haven’t had D+ and it doesn’t feel like it’s my gut it feels like Repro tract. Maybe I will stop them tomorrow

How are we all feeling today ladies? I’m 6DPO today and for the first few days I could’ve sworn I felt different..now..absolutely no different at all 😂

@LuckyDuck93 i’m with you! I really didn’t want to be symptom spotting this month but it’s so hard not to!
felt absolutely find up until yesterday really. Tired today but I didn’t sleep well last night so it’ll be because of that.
I’m getting like growing type pains in my legs 🤷🏼‍♀️ no idea what that’s about.

I still feel like it’s not our month though.

I don't feel any symptoms at all nothing think I'm out this month

The only thing that’s different is I’m really irritable & hormonal, I’m usually like that before AF, but definitely not this early!

Think were all feeling the same this month!

@LuckyDuck93 this was me last night! 😂 but I think it’s cause I was tired but I was extremely irritable.

Has any one tested today/weekend?

I think I’m going to give up on bbt this month. It’s all over the place. I’ve not been sleeping well so that hasn’t helped it either but it’s not telling me anything so I’ll just pick it back up when I’m back off hols.

I am getting some period type pains this morning but that cause just be in prep for next week! Happened last month as well the week before I came on.

@Mama09876
I'm 7dpo I tested! negative

@Itonlytakesone still very early days! See what happens this week, may not of even implanted yet. 🤞🏻

I tested again tonight 🙈still negative 7dpo

@Itonlytakesone still fairly early not out yet, did you feel implantation cramps?

Finally 1 or 2 DPO

@Renee33
This afternoon a heaviness in my lower stomach like a fullness when I was out doing school run it was noticeable to me but it's eased now. I'm just starving today

@Renee33 great news! Finally in that TWW. The madness begins 😂

@Itonlytakesone how you feeling this morning? Any more tests

@CosmoMango how’s your LH tests looking? Any signs of ovulation?

@LuckyDuck93 How you feeling? You’re similar DPO as me. I keep comparing the way I’m feeling now to my first pregnancy (as you do) and I don’t see any of the signs to be honest. My bbt is still high and I’m still really tired but that could be life/work making me tired 😂
I dunno if you’ve got a smart watch or track your resting heart rate but I did with my first and that was another indicator my rhr kept increasing.
mine shot up yesterday so I’m hoping it’s a good sign 🤞🏻
clutching at straws I think this month 😂

(sorry I couldn’t remember who else is around 7/8/9 DPO)
