[caz81]

i ovulated a couple of days ago so just began the eternal 2ww!! xx

 

[goingforit]

Hello all. Welcome those who have joined. Hope all is going well for everyone. I don't really know or check my ovulation but think its just about happened and therefore I,m also now in the dresded 2ww! Good luck to all. Enjoy the process

Hi Ladies,

I think I'm gearing up for OV today or tomorrow....Roll on the 2WW! Looking forward to reading about your "symptoms" over the next few days. Fingers crossed this is a successful month for us!

How many members does Team Hope have...? Perhaps we should track our monthly success rate....as in if there are 10 of us, it'd be great if even half of us got a this month....! (I was going to say 80% but maybe that's overly optimistic...?!)

I think that sounds like a good plan!!

Hey ladies and hello to all new members! Sorry I haven't been on much. Just been chillin out trying not to think of every little thing!! Been laid up with a cold these last few days so not felt much like but managed to get some in over the weekend! I don't know when I OV really so I guess I just need to keep at it every other day until the day my AF is due! Surely then I can't miss it can I???

Hope you are all well. I just can't wait for the tww! All that glorious symptom spotting to look forward to....Ooh the excitement!

, dust and luck to all of you. x

so im in my 2ww now and thought i would update on my symptoms so far, i have: sore boobs, dizzy when standing up after sitting/lying down for a while, tired, off food and also a bit moody (lol) here is hoping im not just a moody cow and these are actual symptoms!!

 

[topazicatzbet]

hi ladies, i ll be ovulating today/tom. got my + opk and peak cbfm today

 

[HayleyJA]

Hi Ladies,

Hope you're all keeping well and that if you've not already OV'd, that you do in the next few days and and we all get our BFP's in a couple of weeks!
I've done a quick check of who has posted in this thread, so we can check our success rate for month 1. The names I've noted are:

Goingforit, Glitterbug, Topazicatbet, Phoebs, Garkat23, Caz81 and Me!
Lots of babydust to you all....!

I think I'm in the 2 week wait but am a bit stressed and confused, I have been using OPK's properly for the first time this month and they are worrying me! I am yet to get a positive but i thought i was due to ovulate on mon (CD 13) or tues and had CM but still no +ve!!
I am worried I'm not ovulating or that I've missed it. The only day I think I could have missed is Monday as had to take test in the morning that day because of a long shift at work. all weekend, and tues and weds but didn't on Monday because of work and now think I've i may have missed my chance for this month!

These OPK's are worrying me because last month got +ve on very first one and this month nothing at all.

Sorry guys just needed to talk about my worries!

to you all

what time of day have you been doing the opk.
not everyone will get a + opk but they will still ov, i dont get a +ve until the day of ov rather than the day before.

if you have been all weekend then you have a good chace of catching the egg.


well im 2dpo today, but im waiting for ff to confirm it by my temps.

so far my symptons are sensitive nipples (i always get that after ov)

 

[Phoebs]

Hey ladies,

I'm a few days later than most of you, think I am due to ovulate on Easter Monday, but again have actually no idea so have started the evey other day thing. Am trying not to get too excited or stressed about it as I think that has a negative effect. Both DH and myself are off work for a week starting tonight - so hoping the relaxing and time off will help!

Good luck eveyone and STOP GETTING STRESSED WITH THOSE OPK THINGS DON'T THINK THEY HELP ANYONE!

 

[garkat23]

Thanks topazicatzbet and Phoebs

I've been testing 4pm everyday except monday which was about 9 am

Good Luck topazicatzbet everything sounds very positive your end.
How do you find temping?

x x

 

[topazicatzbet]

well 4pm is the time they reccommend but tbh the 2 days before i expect ov i test with every pee.
this is my first month temping, i have problems with temping as i work shifts inc nights but dont have any nights this month so thought id give it a go. i think its great, was really nice to see the temp shift to confirm i did ovulate.

 

[garkat23]

Think I'd have problems temping as work shifts and get up at stupid o'clock most times!
When did you get your +ve opk? What time of day? I guess if it was monday i've missed it because was at work from 10am - 11 pm.
Oh well there's always next month! Finding it difficult to remain positive at the moment!

[topazicatzbet]

just cos you might have missed your +opk, doesnt mean you have missed the egg.

i got a +opk in the afternoon and ov about 4 hrs later, i dont get much warning with the opk but thankfully its always on day 16 so im ok.

Do any of you know whether spots are a symptom of either ovulation (which would be late for me if that is the case) or something more promising...? I've had a pretty awful breakout which is quite unlike me.... However, I'm optimistically only 4DPO, (probably less) so don't think it'd be a PG symptom just yet....

Dust to all!

Hi Hayley

A lot of women have posted on here about having spots as a pregnancy symptom,so if it is out of the ordinary for you it could be!!! I get a break out the week before AF anyway so I can't rely on that one, but I did get some about 14 days before as well last time so there's no telling what our bodies are up to!! Hope there is a very good reason for you though hun!!

 

[sazza]

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and wondered if I could join in on the fun?

 

[topazicatzbet]

[caz81]
