Anyone conceive DTD 3/4 days before ovulation?

[Fia256]

That basically.

Dtd 3 days before FF is showing I ovulated this month. And then 1dpo. Terrible timing that just happened this month and I'm now convinced we have missed our chances this month!
Someone please come along and give me a success story and a bit of hope! It's going to be a long 2WW 🙈

[Sittingintheshade]

Me......dtd Tuesday and ovulation was Friday. We only dtd once that month and got a surprise bfp...!

[Fia256]

@Sittingintheshade that's what I wanted to hear! Getting a bit down about it tonight. Would be lovely to have a surprise bfp next week, but I'm not holding out much hope!

[Sittingintheshade]

I'm embarrassed to say I wasn't trying as have a 6mo dc. But I guess it only takes the one sperm!! Good luck, hope you get the result you want! Fingers crossed and you're not out till you're out!

[Karpuzkiz]

We DTD Wednesday and tonight and I ovulated yesterday, being Sunday. Same as you Fia awful timing this month which totally sucks as everything about falling pregnant this month would have been perfect! Totally gutted. I know there is a chance but I just feel like from wednesday is too long for the sperm to live and tonight I feel like the egg has already gone!

Boo hoo!!! Maybe the 2ww wait won't be so bad this time?!

Baby dust to all!

@Sittingintheshade thank you for sharing. Reading stories like yours really help.

Seven months of unprotected sex no sign of conception

[Willyangel]

I need an advice on what to do for me to conceive

[Fia256]

Thanks for all of you taking time to reply!

Fingers crossed we are all still in with a chance!

A may baby actually wouldn't work out particularly well for us for a number of reasons, so in some ways if it doesn't happen this month it's not a huge problem. But you know how it is, when you are trying for a baby every month that goes by is frustrating!

@Willyangel are you using opks and temping? Also using the fertility friend app? They are all great if you aren't already doing them x

[northernlass81]

Yes - just found out I'm pregnant after DTD once on a Tues and ovulated Fri or more likely sat.

[BetterEatCheese]

Yes, me. Sperm lives a while!

[Fia256]

Oh wow congratulations @northernlass81 that's great news!

Let's hope August is a lucky month for all of us bad timers!

I used to be obsessed with tracking ovulation when ttc my daughter, when we had a dating scan and I looked back at my fertility friend app it looked like there should have been no chance of conceiving when I did, still baffles me now as apparently I conceived the week we didn't dtd

[BrendaSmith56]

Yes... she's 14 now.

[SchnitzelVonCrummsTum]

Yes, in fact it was 4 or 5 days before - our surprise 3rd DC who is now 4.

[juneybean]

Ah fia our cycles are so similar this month. My bloody crosshairs have decided to move making our shots this month 2 and 4 days before ovulation.

Really hating FF today haha

[Fia256]

Juneybean we are aren't we! It is so so frustrating, but reading all these positive stories does give me a little bit of hope! Will you be testing before AF due?

[juneybean]

I always do Fia haha just can't help myself...I'll try and get to 10dpo but I honestly feel like I don't even have a chance this month!

[Fia256]

Oh me too
The urge has started already to test. Told myself not to be so ridiculous. Going to hold out till 9dpo if I can as that's when I got my bfp last time (faint but was there). I did tell myself I won't test unless I see a dip in my chart, but I don't know who I'm trying to kid with that one really

[coconutsmoothie]

Yep, with my DS we dtd once that entire month 3 days before ovulation, we had already done it and were told to abstain because of complications from previous miscarriage and got our bfp that month, every other cycle we'd dtd so much and got negatives! Good luck!

[juneybean]

Do you remember any early symptoms with your first?

[Fia256]

Loving everyone's stories! It's definitely given me a bit more hope! Going to test at the weekend while we are away so fingers crossed.

Juneybean I have fell pregnant 5 times (first two resulted in healthy babies, last 3 in miscarriage)

My first I had horrific S&D for weeks on end, anything seemed to set my stomach off. But that was the only symptom

2,3&4 - nothing

5th, my only symptom for the first 7ish weeks was hot flushes which started pretty much from implantation. Interestingly on 9dpo I woke in the middle of the night with odd tummy pains (like a pulled muscle) then midday I had one bit of pink cm when wiping, took a frer that night and got a very light positive. 7 weeks was when the symptoms kicked right up till I lost him

Pretty much every other month I had sore boobs (sometimes horrendously painful), dizziness etc etc. So I guess for me the months I've been pregnant are the ones symptom wise I'd never thought there was a chance! Sorry for the long post but hope it's helpful

[juneybean]

Sorry to hear of your miscarriages :( thats awful X

I have so many symptoms every month but I can't seem to tell myself it's just the progesterone grr

[Fia256]

Just thought I'd update! Got my bfp today!! Can't believe it I really thought we didn't stand a chance!

[Beansprout30]

Congratulations Fia!

[juneybean]

Oh Fia that's amazing news!!
