Hello everyone.

[FivexFive]

Hello ladies, another thread, surely we're setting some kind of record?!

Last night must have been the night for the men to let off steam, my dh also had a night out... came home at 2am. Now, he usually gets changed in the spare room on these occasions, so as not to wake me. I texted him to remind him my bro was staying the night (in the spare room) Sadly he forgot and I was awoken at 2ish by my poor brother loudly asking why my dh was getting undressed on the spare bed :)

Hey lovely ladies!

[FlapJackered]

Helloooo! I love this thread and the positive lovely people on it. ❤️❤️❤️

@Delilah7 I would mark that opk as positive on your app but keep testing and if you get a stronger one change it then.

[Delilah7]

@FivexFive cracking up here. 😂😂😂😂😂

@FlapJackered and we love you! think that's what I'll do hun xx

So glad you all found it. Defo think we are setting a record @FivexFive

Hi everyone 😀
Age 25
Cycle 7/8

@MrsC87 we have used preseed this cycle and the last one (obviously it didn't work last cycle but fingers crossed for this one!) To be honest apart from it being very runny it's really nice, and we try and have sex every day during fw, DH doesn't want to 'miss any opportunity' (plus he is happy he's getting some) haha

[NeverStopExploring]

Hey ladies, every time I come on here it’s a new thread! I am doubtful this will be our month as dh is working a lot of nights but still crossing fingers! I’ve been having a career crisis which I had earlier this year and it resulted in us delaying trying so trying to stay focused! Anyon have any nice plans this weekend other than between the sheets?

[Crossfitgirl]

Hi guys! I'm glad for all the stats reminders cos I forget them all the time!
Age 30
Cycle 6
Married last year, family home this year :-)
PCOS but FX it's not gonna make this too difficult as I'm fairly regular 🤞

Feel like I've got to know you all on here really well (besides me being forgetful!) Love the support!

@mrsc87 answering from the other thread, we def don't do it every day or every other day. We've managed maybe at least once in the fertile week each cycle for the last 3. But I'm hoping we can up it to every 2-3 days at least anyway! See how it goes when we get back from hol. How often do you?

[MrsC87]

Well we try to do it as much as poss within the fertile window @Crossfitgirl but I'm wondering whether days in a row can reduce the quality of sperm?
I think as long as I can do it on the day of positive opk (as didn't manage to do this last month) and day after I'll feel happier this coming month. Life just seems to get in the way sometimes x

[MrsC87]

I think I might invest in some @RanchoRelaxo, I'll try anything at the moment lol x

[RanchoRelaxo]

Right I am supposedly 2dpo today and I've just had a bath and when I got out and had a wee I had like shitloads of ewcm, sometimes I get a little bit after ovulation but this was a lot, has anyone had this? Do you think it's just 'left over' or could I still be poss in the late stages of ovulating? (Got my positive opk wed)

[cupcakesandglitter]

Hi ladies!! Good morning 😁❤️

I love how quickly the threads fill up 😭 how is everyone today? X

@RanchoRelaxo it could be possible you're ovulating now? I've read ovulation can happen 12-48hours after your positive OPK? Maybe that's me getting it wrong sorry 😩 I would definitely DTD today just in case!! X

[Delilah7]

@cupcakesandglitter morning petal ❤️

[RanchoRelaxo]

You know what @cupcakesandglitter I think you're right, I'm also cd20 which is my usual ov day (got excited cause I thought it has come early this month) will go fetch DH immediately 😂 if in doubt whip it out ay

[cupcakesandglitter]

@Delilah7 ❤️

@RanchoRelaxo If I doubt, whip it out 😂😂😂😂😂😭 Bloody brilliant

[KatBeCool]

@FlapJackered responded to you on the old thread before I realized this one is up. According to your chart, it looks like you ovulated so it's possible you just missed the peak poas, and hopefully you've been DTDing. But I'd continue testing and temping anyway, in case the chart is wrong and you're having a late O.

[KatBeCool]

@MrsC87 I've seen so many things about whether to DTD every day, or every other day, or even less, and I'm yet to find anything definitive. We've been trying everyday around the O. Hubby just had his sperm tested last week but we won't know the results until after I have my lining measured next month. But I'm hoping that since they haven't called screaming in terror, it's ok.

Hello ladies!

Age 36
Cycle 1 (ish, it's a test run so I might not count it!)
10 years with bf and happily unmarried

We are.. possibly reluctant parents, in that neither of us is really super excited by it, probably WAY over thinking it all. But we finally decided to go for it. It all feels very weird and I reckon I am going to need some major moral support so... hi mumsnet!

Not expecting a BFP this month as we only DTD once, and I haven't been OPK testing yet, just a random holiday dalliance ;)

Since holiday we have been really sick with stomach upset, so if there was anything in there I doubt it survived the e-coli poisoning !

Well. I am pleased to meet you all. Good luck :-)

[FlapJackered]

I don't think my DH could manage Dtd everyday, every other day is just about feasible but I find if we do it two nights in a row the second night there is never as much sperm coming out.


Thanks @KatBeCool , I am just surprised I haven't had a static smiley on clearblue as normally I get one. I hope I have ov'd as I don't think I can stand another long cycle 😩
We haven't Dtd as much as we should have annoyingly. It's possible but unlikely. 👎🏻

[CookieWaffle]
