Jan 27th Ovulation Week Group

[RRB]

Just wondering if anyone else wants to join, for those of us who will be obsessively counting days and line checking over the next two/three weeks?

Pretty sure my LH peaked on Sunday - but by the dates it should be more like this coming Saturday that I’ll ovulate. Intending to keep trying all week to hopefully get something to stick.

Had a chemical last month - cycle 8 ttc for our first.

Thanks ladies! I'm super nervous already! Need to try and stay calm and chilled about it! Not sure I can take another loss, not gonna lie!

@RRB really sorry AF has arrived! This has been a great group and so nice to have solidarity. It can be a very lonely journey! Fingers crossed for next cycle for you!

@Lila34830 definitely still time! You're not out til AF arrives!

@Figtree11 fingers crossed for a BFP when you finally brave a test!!

I'm the most impatient person 😅
Bought some different tests today and I'm sure I can see a line?
Lighting is so rubbish when trying to get a photo of a faint line! Took the cover off the test to try and see more clearly.
Just hoping for some progression over the next few days 🙏

Broke out the big guns this morning!! Feels a bit more real now! Still super nervous but trying to stay positive and hope for the best 🥰

How's everyone doing?

Hello @MummyV2021 !
In limbo on my side, period was due today. No period in sight, yesterday and this morning, 2 specs of brown blood (probs the size of a pea) and nothing else !
Test negative, I went through my premom ovulation tests, and it looks like my peak could have been on 1/02 instead of 31/01. Meaning that I could have ovulated either 2 or 3 Feb latest.
So I am just waiting to be honest ! But I'm pretty relaxed about it - what is meant to happen will happen.
My luteal phase is 11/12 days without fault and I never spot before period. I think i must have ovulated later. 🤷🏻‍♀️ time shall tell ! Not sure what the spotting means though.

13dpo over here! AF has felt like she's been on the way all week but no sign yet. I got a little carried away 2 days ago and tested but it was very negative so I'm not getting any hopes up.
At least this is confirming that breastfeeding isn't shortening my luteal phase, so that's good at least!

How are you feeling @MummyV2021 ?

Any progress @SophieP89 ?

@Lila34830 oh that does sound confusing! Hopefully you get some answers soon!!

@Strongbrewplease sorry to hear you got a BFN but that was at 11DPO so you never know! Do you think you'll test again or wait and see if AF arrives? Great to hear breastfeeding isn't impacting! If it offers any reassurance, my friend is currently 5months pregnant and was still EBF her 8 month old when she conceived.

I'm feeling ok to be fair. Other than peeing a lot and some slight nausea I've had no other symptoms. I feel like I need to get past the weekend as my first hurdle and then will wait another week before booking an early scan I think. Feeling mildly hopeful having got a decent FRER test this morning and a positive digital yesterday. I need to calm it on the testing now I think!

Hope you are doing well @MummyV2021

I’m sorry about the BFNs, but hope you all get some positive news soon.

I actually got my BFP 2 days ago. 18 months & 2 MCs later I really hope this is the one. I am putting off ringing the recurrent miscarriage unit to book a scan

Fingers crossed for you as there's still hope until AF arrives!
I think I'm finally starting to get some progress on my tests, been using cheap ones for now and the line is still quite light but definitely more visible today so keeping hopeful things continue to progress.
I've been soooo nauseous last night and today, feel like I'm starving all the time but eating and still feeling really nauseous.
Bought a digital one but trying to hold off doing it until the weekend 😬

@Figtree11 congratulations! Not sure how but think I congratulated you in another thread too! Really hope this one sticks for you, how many DPO are you?

@SophieP89 great to hear you're seeing some progress on your tests, hope it continues for you! The digitals are more sensitive than they used to be I think (they claim 10miu now) so you never know! The symptoms certainly sound promising!

@MummyV2021 am still so chuffed for you! Seeing that BFP on the FR 🥰🥰!

@SophieP89 that’s great!

If anyone who didn’t get there BFP this month wants to join a group for the next TWW I kinda like feeling connected to other people going through this. x

Thanks lovely! I just wish you were also celebrating a BFP! Along with everyone else in this thread! Seems to have been a lucky thread though, as a few BFPs so far... so hopefully the next thread will be just as lucky and you'll get your BFP! I just hope my little bean sticks or you might find me on that thread too!

Tested with the clearblue this morning, a very definite clear positive 🥰

Congratulations @SophieP89 that's a lovely positive!!

I'm officially out, so I'll be sticking with you @RRB

I'm looking on the positive side that, that I now know my luteal phase is fine but my past two cycles were 36 and 27 days - unfortunately my cycle continues to be all over the place, any tips on regulating it?

Congratulations @SophieP89 !! How are you feeling? Have you got any symptoms?

Sorry to hear you're out @Strongbrewplease ! Not sure on the cycles variation, have they always varied? I've had the odd cycle be a lot longer but the flo app always told me it was within normal range (which I think is considered anywhere between 26-38 days) which isn't massively helpful.

Thank you! I'm not feeling too bad at the moment, I've been having nausea over the past couple of days, sore boob's, very mild cramping/aching in my lower tummy on and off for the last few days.
How are you feeling?

@SophieP89 I'm feeling ok thank you! Still in that limbo of wanting to be excited but not wanting to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't work out again! But I'm now officially a day late with no signs of AF. I don't have too many symptoms - mainly VERY tired and peeing a lot. Boobs feel heavy and slightly tender. Have you done anymore tests? I've still been doing a cheapie every day and seeing progression which is reassuring. I might do another CB digi in a few days too, although conscious they can cause more anxiety!

I'm feeling similar in that I am feeling excited but keep thinking it's too good to be true but trying to keep positive.
Also been doing cheap tests everyday, sometimes once in the morning then evening, line is so much stronger now than a few days ago so reassuring but found the lines on CB test were so much darker than the cheap ones.
I've ordered another CB digital to do next week but the anxiety of thinking the weeks won't have progressed. Trying not to get too obsessive!

@SophieP89 that's so good to hear about your lines getting stronger! My only issue is that the cheapies don't tend to show progression very well I find - it's only marginal. So I've been getting more anxious doing them! I've just bit the bullet and done another FRER which was a darker test line than control line so did the CB and it was 2-3! So much reassurance from seeing those 2 numbers! Silly isn't it?! But I might actually chill out on testing now finally! Hope you get your result next week!

@MummyV2021 that's amazing to hear you've got good progression!
It's mad how much the testing has taken over me this week 😂 but so reassuring to see.
Going to use my CB tests over the next few days and then I think I'll stop too and trust my body.
Thank you 🥰

😍😍

How are you getting on @SophieP89? Today is the first day I haven't tested and it feels oddly freeing!

@MummyV2021 so far so good! Having waves of nausea but it's not stopping me from eating! I've run out of normal tests and it's taking a lot not to buy any more 😅 I had massive line progression on my Clearblue over the past few days so feeling pretty content currently.
Going to do a digital this weekend I think.
How are you feeling?

@SophieP89 glad to hear it!! I seem to be getting nausea in the evening around 6-8pm the last few days, sore boobs, weeing a lot, very tired and cold hands and feet majority of the time! I did a cheapie this morning and the test line was as strong as the control line which felt good as they take so much longer to get darker! I've got one FRER and one digital left so waiting until the weekend to use them and then I'll be done and dusted and book my scan in I think! I've self referred to my maternity services too which felt like a very real acceptance that I'm actually pregnant! I'm finding the symptoms reassuring as I had none with my little boy and it made my anxiety a lot worse! Although I know symptoms don't mean it won't end badly, I'm taking the positives where I can! xx
