2 DPO - 2WW, Who's with me?? :D

CD 16 today and still no OV that i can detect.

We DTD last night making it active on CD 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15

so if i did OV am confident that its not been missed.

Need to maintain every day for next 6 days then EOD until AF just in case

unless i find i OV am after 6 June then will revert to every day

tired!!

So sorry to hear about af red but glad that you're still so positive about everything. Good luck for your next cycle, yes I think dtd often is all you need to do. x

I was 10 days late in December. It was the shittest time of my life. We kept getting BFNs (and they say to treat it as if you were pregnant)and we got a faint BFP and then AF arrived a couple days later.

Then four days late last month and tons of tests - but still no BFP.

I genuinely think that if you get a BFN on the day of AF, you treat it as a late ovulation.

Otherwise, you just kill yourself with worry

Kicking is right. There are so many threads that people start saying I am 10 days late and no af, and I feel awfully sorry as these ladies think they might be pg, and you do hear stories but in reality it's only a very small chance. It's horrible when that happens.

I also did some counting and I think I've been counting my days as like "Af arrived on this day, so the next day is CD1".

Then we tend to bonk until CD14 or CD15 (which would actually be CD13 or CD14 because I've been counting incorrectly), and then we do it when we feel like after CD14.

This month, I am covering my bases for the whole effing time

Ah red I am so sorry. I know how it feels though and the ANNOYING thing is all the people that say "I know of xxxx person who tested a week late" and the thing is that they make it sound common. But it's not. Only 2% of people don't test positive on the day AF is due.

Then statistically, the later you implant, the higher the chance that you lose the pregnancy. There was an 86% chance of the pregnancy not being sticky enough if you implant after 12DPO.

I think everyone needs the month where they are late and they get all excited about the symptoms. Just so that you can understand that there are no symptoms - not until you get a positive test. I am a lot calmer this month after the last stupid rubbish month.

Sobbed my eyes out for 2 days!! DH was magic though and we've ditched the OPK's and sticks and testing for things.

I am on CD15 now and we're just DTD often. I am going to DTD every day from today (CD15) until CD23. Then EOD until AF arrives.

kicking do you also dtd right upto the day before AF is due? I am just wondering because I think I must have OVed really late and this time I'm thinking of dtd eod right till the last day.

Also I am NOT going to listen to any cramps or twinges or symptoms this month. From now on just dtd and wait for AF. No peeing on sticks either.

I am goin to try the ridiculous 'relaxed' approach!

3 days late but the evil witch did arrive and was painful as hell! It's so strange when your cycle is like clockwork and its late, then you get your hopes up and then they come crashing down again with bfns.

Had lots of cuddles from hubby and feeling all uplifted for next month

How you all been?

Kicking - hats off to you! We are going to got for eod too but not sure how we will manage that! At least I can have some wine for now

I am on CD15 today. No sign of CM or EWCM. DTD on CD 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and gave it a miss last night on account of wanting to do it every day from tonight until 7 June.

It appears that I may ovulate later than I thought. Although, maybe I just won't OV this month?

My body was clockwork until I started wondering about this stuff...

Hi everything yes it has been quieter but I think we've all been getting on with dtd haven't we! For me the 2ww starts from tomorrow so there'll be plenty of frantic posting coming up from me I'm sure!

How are you getting on?

Hope you're ok red?

red

Any news?

go try a superdrug one but you may have ovulated later than you thought

first response is quite reliable to be honest. to like 98% of the population by the day af is due.

i would book a blood test to make sure.

I've never used first response tests red so can't really say but I've read that they're meant to be quite reliable I think? Is that what you've been using?

Sorry to hear about the bfn, but hopefully you just ovulated late.

Loving the sun everything - don't want to go back to work tomorrow!!

Hi everything I'm trying to work out whether I'm pregnant or not
Had 3 bfns this month including one this morning.
I'm over 2 days late with some very mild brown discharge now and then.

I think I have given up hope after today's bfn on 15dpo.

Anyone know how reliable first response tests are?

Agreed everything - although I only ever used cheapo OPKs I'm still much preferring this month not using anything like that and just dtd with fx

And the lower stress levels because of this can only be a good thing surely?

I think it takes a lot more out of you to labour and then have a c-sec. I've seen some pretty tired mums out there.

My SIL said the labour bit was horrible and that they don't tell you that. She said someone just said "It's horrible, isn't it?" and she just said..."yes"

And if you're in labour for 24 hours, you just stop sleeping. I think then, you have even more chance of just being shattered with a new born and that's even harder to deal with.

Drive-through is much easier

We have to be pregnant before we even bother about how we're going to get them out.

I feel quite relaxed this month to be honest. I keep wanting to go online and buy bits and bobs and then I realise that I can't buy anything or look at anything because I've promised myself that I won't and I feel better.

I have no idea when I'm going to OV though. Strange not to POAS for the first time in what...10 or 11 months now
