First month TTC

[MrsEB]

Hi

I am looking for some advice please. This is out first month of TTC. I am not sure when I ovulated but my first day of my last period was the 10th jan, my cycle is usually about 26/27 days.

For a few days now I have been feeling tired, bloated, getting cramps and a bit sick at times. Could this be ovulation? I am really tempted to do a pregnancy test but I am guessing it's far too early?

Thanks xx

I use this calculator https://www.webmd.com/baby/healthtool-ovulation-calculator

I would think it would be to early to test just yet. personally I'm going to start using an ovulation predictor kit this cycle so I know when the best time is...

good luck!

Thank you very much, that website is really helpful. I think I might get an ovulation testing kit for next month if it doesn't happen this time
