I need some advice ladies - I'm pretty sure this is a stupid question but...

I thought I ovulated on Sunday. Tonight I've had real sharp pains in my right side. Dr Google says it's probably the egg being released from the ovary, so does that mean I'm actually ovulating now? I mean, it's probably near impossible for you to know, but my last 2 pregnancies I just went with the flow and didn't look out for anything... this time around I feel I'm the complete opposite 🙈

What made you think you ovulated on Sunday?

woodpeckersounds · 05/02/2025 20:13

@carolinep3 well, I don't know for sure. I'm just going by my Flo app and the cramping and lower back ache I was getting. But now I'm thinking I shouldn't have believed the app 🙄 we cant DTD tonight so could now be out this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeh I would rely too heavily on the app, was wrong for me by 4 days this month. Sperm can live upto 5 days, so if you released an egg today any time in the last 5 days could give you a chance .

woodpeckersounds · 05/02/2025 20:18

@carolinep3 ah, that's not great then! We last DTD on Friday so yeah, looks like I could be out. I'll definitely not pay attention to it next month!

Have you had any ewcm or other signs? Also you may have ovulated when you think you did and pain was just a twinge / implantation?! xx

woodpeckersounds · 05/02/2025 20:25

@carolinep3 yeah I've definitely been getting a lot of ewcm. I've been feeling really hungry really often since Monday, and was a bit headache-y Monday too. Yesterday I had a bit of a mood about me and I've been really tired. Not sure if all of these are symptoms but they're not an every day thing for me.

woodpeckersounds · 05/02/2025 20:29

@carolinep3 the reason I googled as I thought it could've been implantation, but it's all pointing to the egg being released. It's impossible for either of us to know I guess, I just got a bit excited and then was like oh...

@miffy1994 not sure if you've found this thread yet

Mumzydarling12 · 06/02/2025 06:57

Hey ladies just a quick check in! Hope you’re all doing well and not loosing your mind too much! I know how frustrating this TTC process can be! I’m currently day 9pdo and told myself I wouldn’t test early this month….. ye right! 😳😂 tested this morning and have a v faint line show up in time frame, (can’t upload pic) however im not sure if it’s an indent as on closer examination there is a nasty line going through my easy at home test so will test again tomorrow and see if it’s any darker? I know 9dpo is early but have been having lots of symptoms this cycle, but again might be my body playing tricks which it likes to do! This is our 9th cycle or trying to conceive so hoping for our BFP soon. Crossing my fingers for everyone ☺️. X

justbelieve · 06/02/2025 07:08

Fingers crossed @Mumzydarling12 🤞🏻

I’m in those days leading up to ovulation. I feel like this cycle has really dragged!

Tia22 · 06/02/2025 07:42

It's so hard isn't it!!
I'm trying not to get completely wrapped up in the apps but I've spent all morning sobbing because my Natural Cycles temp hasn't risen this morning either. It normally ALWAYS does after ovulation so now I'm worrying I haven't even released one?! I have a bit of a cold but need the temp rise to confirm ovulation
I got a positive ovulation stick Monday evening and have had twinges and a bit of ewm and we've tried really hard this month 😂😂😭😭

I've made it to work now but I just feel so done with it all 😭😭😭😭😭😭 xx

@Mumzydarling12 crossing fingers and toes and sending all the baby dust imaginable your way!

@Tia22 oh bless you - it is such a whirlwind of emotions I completely understand how you feel. Maybe your cold is throwing your temps off a little bit if you had those signs hopefully you did ovulate. Why is it all so hard!!

12 DPO for me and my bizarre mid cycle light bleeding has stopped. The test was so white it basically repelled any sniff of pregnancy. It was insulted at the thought ha! Got to stop wasting tests now and upsetting myself. On to the next cycle …

Mumzydarling12 · 06/02/2025 08:04

Thank you @justbelieve @ThisAquaOP . Now it’s dried I can still definitely see the line still and I’m sure there is a bit of pink in there but I also don’t know if that’s just wishful thinking longing to see the line! 🤦‍♀️ will test again tomorrow morning or maybe later!? 😂 @BerrieSweet @AlbatrossSociety and I’m sure a few others we were on the same type of cycle? How are you all getting on? X

@Mumzydarling12 oooh sounds like could be something, i guess you will know on repeat tests if anything or not! Hope the photo button comes back soon for us all to share our line checks!

i had a vvfl yesterday but sadly its gone today so think it was just an evap for me , 13dpo so hope AF just gets on and arrives tomorrow or saturday to start fresh cycle- hate the waiting part when you know you are out! X

I feel this so much when the ident almost looks like shining white like its literally repelled the dye away, its so depressing isnt it!

Mumzydarling12 · 06/02/2025 08:21

Ohhh no sorry to hear that @Floralcat ! 😔 urrghhh yes that limbo time is a killer when your just wasn’t for AF it’s just like hurry up so we can crack on! 🤦‍♀️. Yes will test again tomorrow hopefully it will be a BFP this cycle if now on to the next again! ❤️

BerrieSweet · 06/02/2025 08:24

@Mumzydarling12 so happy for you!! Fingers Crossed you BFP is on it's way now😍

9 DPO and stark white, so I'm feeling a bit sad even if I know it's still early. I'm good at telling other people they're not out yet but bad at telling myself the same thing when getting a BFN at early DPO's 😂

Mumzydarling12 · 06/02/2025 08:31

I’m really hoping so @BerrieSweet but I’m also really nervous this time round. We got a BFP last cycle finally! But then a few hours later I I started bleeding so the elation was very short lived. It’s such a rollercoaster! I didn’t get my positive last month until my AF was 4days late! I’m hoping that I get my BFP properly tomorrow/sat maybe and little bean will stick! My AF is due on the 11th so it’s still very early days… Crossing my fingers for you and as we all say over and over…. You not out until AF arrives! 🤦‍♀️😂 but totally get where your coming from, it’s sooo difficult 😔❤️

I’m 9DPO today too and I tested yesterday completely negative. And this morning I told myself I wouldn’t until at least sat but of course I did 🙈 and there is definitely a shadow/line. Comparing it to other tests there is definitely something there. I have taken a photo which I can’t upload but you can’t even see it on the photo.

Thank you so much for your message ♥️♥️

I really really hope so, just worrying me I've never not had a temp rise but then I guess I've never been pregnant either so!

Oh bless you, it really is the worst thing. Be kind to yourself, it is so hard.
Sending you a big hug ♥️♥️ xx

Miffy1994 · 06/02/2025 08:41

Thanks for tagging me to the right place @Matildahoney ! How are you getting on?
Crossing my fingers for everyone who’s seen a vvf line 🤞
5DPO here but only DTD twice in the fertile window so not feeling all that hopeful. DD is having lots of settling in sessions at nursery so that is at least keeping me busy in this TWW, though it’s not helping my stress levels!

carolinep3 · 06/02/2025 08:42

@Mumzydarling12 o wow that's great news, I understand the nervousness but sending all the baby dust and hopefully it will be darker for you tomorrow.
So to hear of the bfn, but implantation is commonly 8-10dpo so there is definitely still
Time!
I promised I wouldn't test until Saturday! But I have to go to boots after work, I'm so tempted to buy a test!

Thanks for checking in, I am the GRUMPIEST of grumps. I haven't tested yet but just feel like I'm not pregnant. When I was pregnant with my daughter I just knew I was! I don't have any symptoms, I'm gonna wait until Saturday to test unless AF arrives early.

Very very exciting that you've got a line! I would wait until tomorrow's FMU to test again as so early on a negative today wouldn't mean much. Have everything crossed for you and everyone else this cycle. Can't remember who else was on same timing @Berriesweet ?

carolinep3 · 06/02/2025 09:07

I've just started the smallest bit of spotting, but I know that means I am out.
I am so upset. I literally don't know how I am going to get through the day at work, I just want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Marie1990x · 06/02/2025 09:14

Went to find the old thread and saw it was full 😂.

How’s everyone getting on?

@Mumzydarling12 hope it’s the start of a BFP for you!

Is anyone else here around 2/3dpo? 2 apps are telling me different as I had 2 days of peak OPK’s.

Good luck to those testing soon x
