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?

I'm out 😩 having a chemical

My peak was actually later this month too, wonder if the chaos of Christmas threw everything off!

@CadoAvo Congratulations❤

We took a few months off Nov/Dec but AF is due this weekend and we'll be trying again this cycle, so no doubt i'll be back to all the craziness with you all!

@Itonlytakesone so sorry to hear that! 😔 hope you’re ok.

How strange looking back mine was as well! Normally around the 12/13 CD and more like 15/16 this month.

I’ve just come on today 😔 gone from couple of months of 26 day cycles back to a 29 day this month! I was really down and gutted this morning cause I was feeling so hopefully but you gotta move on! Onwards and upwards

im due to ovulate again end of this month & this time, after 5 cycles of just going with the flow im now going full throttle back to BBT temping, ordered some CQ-10 supplements and got my fingers crossed 😂🤞🏻

@LuckyDuck93 Bring on the crazyness 😂

@Itonlytakesone really sorry to hear that 😔

@Mama09876 AF starting today for me, due to ovulate 30th/31st this month, it's actually been really nice to have a break and actually look forward to AF arriving so we can start again 😅

@LuckyDuck93 @Mama09876 thanks. Do you guys take any supplements to help with egg quality or anything?

@LuckyDuck93 my AF has been so heavy this month! It does make me wonder on some of the months we’ve tried I’ve found more heavy compared to the break we had which were more lighter and shorter.
But I’m still similar timings to you 🥰 I’m back BBT tracking so should have a better idea of ovulation but at the moment saying 27th/28th

@Itonlytakesone I’ve been taking Folic Acid & Vit D since about Oct. But this cycle I’ve started on the CQ-10 which is meant to help with egg quantity. I took it for one month before I fell pregnant with my first, now I know it probably didn’t have much of any effect being one month (took in Dec fell pregnant start of Feb) or potentially no effect but I’m up for trying anything right now 😂
im trying to eat a few Brazil nuts a day as well and going to drink pomegranate juice after ovulation. I know it’s all stuff that might not make a difference but it’s all stuff I did the month I fell pregnant so I’ll try any thing!

I’m also 4 years old now so will literally try anything to help egg quality! 😂

I'm taking pregnacare (might as well finish the box I was on before the chemical)
I'm also just started taking coQ10 ubiquinone, have b12 injections. I also bought 1000mg inositol supplements but I'm not sure why ..I'm reluctant to take that as well feel like it's too much? I will go get some omega 3 because iv looked and it's not in pregnacare.

As you can see I'm throwing myself into this 🤣

@Itonlytakesone i'm also throwing myself into it fully this month! I spent 6 months of last year naively thinking it might just happen, but now I'm going to try and focus on it a bit more (without driving myself mad hopefully)

I started taking a multivitamin that contains folic acid, inositol 250mg, magnesium, vit D and Co-Q10 30mg

@Mama09876 what strength CO-Q10 are you taking? AF is always pretty light and short for me, so different to before I went on the pill 10 years ago, it's always in the back of my mind that maybe they're too light/short, however i've had friends get pregnant with shorter cycles than me, so i'm probably over thinking!

@Itonlytakesone ooo I’m exactly the same this year! Throwing myself well and truly in to it!
Like you @LuckyDuck93 i took the relaxed approach last year and tried on and off for about 4/5 cycles with no results so this year I’m the same trying to focus on what I can do to help it a bit more.

So I’ve been taking magnesium since Sept (when I remember 😂) but that was to help with stress/sleep.

The Cq-10 I’ve got is 300mg I think with my first I took 100mg but I read over 35 need a higher dose (I’m 35 this year) I think it said 600mg but I thought I’ll start at 300mg and see what happens.

@LuckyDuck93 I’ve found the same! Since having my little one my periods/cycles are much shorter and sometimes lighter. I did worry about pre menopause 🙈 but from what I’ve read it can change post birth and I’m still around the ‘normal’ mark, so I’ll try not worry to much at the moment.

I'm now in the dreaded tww anyone else?

@Itonlytakesone nearly! Tracking my LH tests and BBT I recon my peak will be tomorrow or latest Weds. So few more days and I’ll be in TWW I think!

Here we go again 🙈😂

@Itonlytakesone Not quite there just yet, tracking with LH tests but they don't seem to be rising just yet, but then, my peak is usually pretty quick, my tests only normally start to rise 1-2 days before so I'm not expecting a rise until tomorrow/wed as due to ovulate Friday

@LuckyDuck93 @Mama09876 few more days We will soon be able to go through it together again haha. I don't track I just dtd in fertile period and see what happens. Only dtd once. I'm guessing I'll ovulate a couple weeks after my chemical but well see what happens

@LuckyDuck93 I’ve been similar, tracked from CD9 but all been really faint till CD 12 to be honest and got my peak this morning as predicted! So think ovulation will be Weds/Thurs. DTD last night and will be tomorrow as well.

Literally excepting it to just not happen again this month. This happened with my first had 3 months of trying (which I get it nothing really) but by the 4th I’d been like it’s not going to happen and it did! Literally same time as now, Jan ovulation 🙈 so if I did fall pregnant this month, very close birthdays! 😂

@Itonlytakesone that's probably the best way to go about it though, a lot more relaxed!
@Mama09876 every month I expect it not to happen, then I get to the 2nd week of the tww and suddenly I change my mind and convince myself it has happened 😅

How you feeling @Itonlytakesone . Not long and we’ll all be in the TWW with you!

I think I’ll be a few more days. I decided to take another LH this morning, after reading a post saying they do them till it’s faint and turns out this morning it was blazingly dark! Darker than yesterday. So looks like peak is today not yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️ maybe I’ve been ovulating a bit longer than I’d expected it. I’m BBT this month so should have it confirmed in the next couple of days.

My temperature went up this morning so i think it’s gearing up for ovulation. Getting some pains today as well and heaviness.

Trying to DTD every other day to get catch it this month 🤞🏻

@LuckyDuck93 Although im still exactly the same thinking it won’t happen but the week my periods due ill convince myself im pregnant 😂😂

@Mama09876 Do you test first thing in the morning?
I saw someone saying better results from second wee of the day, but that doesn't work logistically with going to work!
Mine has started rising today, but still pretty faint, so probably ovulate at the weekend I think.

@LuckyDuck93 I tend to test at all sorts of times to be honest, it doesn’t make to much of a difference for me I’ve noticed. This morning it was just after my 2nd wee, was a tiny trickle 🙈

Do you tend to see yours rise quickly? I find I can see it over a couple of days and normally catch it either morning or night.

@Mama09876
I feel awful! 2 weeks since chemical stomachs not right it's so full feeling lower abdomen I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to get checked I'v been triaged by epau I had limited bleeding after the chemical so they want to check I'm ok

@Itonlytakesone sorry you feel awful, it's horrible enough without it being a long drawn out process!

@Mama09876 Mine is normally higher by now (I use the premom app) but then looking back, its normally low until about 2 days before my peak then rises and drop quite quick!

@Itonlytakesone aww no how awful! I hope you’re ok, glad you’re going to get checked out tomorrow! You know your own body and if it doesn’t feel right best place to go.

@LuckyDuck93 maybe slightly later ovulation? I’m similar I only real noticed it getting darker from CD12 and then peak today. My ovulation has defo move forward slightly I use to think they were around CD12/13

@Mama09876 yeah possibly, it does tend to vary a bit, it’s usually CD14/15 but can be as late as 18, at least using the strips means I can work out what is going on though

Hey girls, I’ve just been seeing everyone’s updates and news and thinking it’s so lovely to see this little support network is still going strong! It helped me so much a couple of months ago when I was at a total loss with everything.
My news is after 6 months TTC we got a positive test last week. It doesn’t feel real yet… We didn’t do LH tests, just tried to DTD as much as possible in the fertile window according to the apps. This month we only DTD twice and weirdly my PT’s were negative until 18 DPO which really messed with my head.
I’ve been taking folic acid and vit D supplements.
The only difference in this month compared to the last few cycles? my husband put his hands on my stomach and said ‘come on little guys!’ (We were talking about how few sperms actually make it anywhere near the egg!!!) so yeah basically I have a new appreciation for the randomness of the universe…
I’m quite high risk for various problems so definitely not telling anyone or getting excited yet… just really hoping for normal scans and tests in the next few weeks.
Wishing you guys sooo much luck for the next cycle and hoping you see some BFP’s very soon!
