Sorry that should have been I'm on 6DPO!

Hello everyone,

I'm TTC baby no1. Currently on cycle two, 2DPO. Since 3DPO I've had very bad abdominal cramping, tonight is the first evening cramp free! I've had light headed moments and today I noticed creamy cm. Suddenly this evening my boobs have started to hurt a little but I don't know if I'm imagining it!

I know, pregnant having dtd 5 days pre ovulation. But the four / five months previously we dtd every other day and twice around ovulation without getting pregnant.

I definately favor the relaxed approach. It is easier said than done though to remain chilled out. We have only dtd twice this month. Part of me thinks, that's fine no worries, the other thinks argh that's not enough.

With my first I was late so tested (not planned) My second and third I knew straight away a least a week before AF was due! I have back ache, Really sore boobs, spots, smells have gone mental and I feel sick all the time - If I am not PG (as have all these now) then I will be seeing the Doctors to see what IS wrong with me!

Thats amazing that you got preg after only dtd 5 days before ovulation :) I hope we have timed it all right but if not then I spose it is abit too much to ask for first cycle! I have been charting on FF from the beginning of this cycle but not sure if its all that accurate with the temps etc as im such a novice! Also im trying not to get too sucked into the whole thing but its impossible not to during the 2ww lol! When I concieved my daughter in Aug 09 we weren't actively trying just taking a relaxed approach and it worked 3rd cycle.. Maybe thats the way forward?!

seatfor5 - What symptoms did/do you have? I don't remember having any last time apart from missing AF LOL

I tried to use the charts but was rubbish at taking my temp so gave up on that.

I used opks and am using them again now. We started trying in Jan 10 and got pregnant in May 10. I piled way too much pressure on dh, forcing him to dtd from cd8 to cd 20, he loves sex but hated ttc.

We both got really stressed ttc and in May we I decided to have a break that month. We dtd once 5 days before ovulation and got pregnant.

I am trying to be more relaxed this time round. I still love opks though. This month I got positives for Wed and Thurs, normally I only get one day of positive tests.

Oh can I join in the spotting! I have 3DC so this would be the 4th! we were not trying so if I am it would be a lovely surprise (not so much for DH lol) I woke up on Monday and thought oh god I have felt like this before and they are called Tom & Teddy lol! I am due AF on the 7th

ohh good luck to you all! im not 100% confident about this cycle either due to the timings in regards of doing the deed! lol we dtd on the 2 days I got my positive opk but still confused as to if that is even the right time to do it or too late/early.. lol I got a positive opk on the sunday and monday but apparently didnt ovulate until the tuesday so who knows..!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid - If you dont mind me asking did you use opk's or charts etc when ttc your first little one?

Ooooh me too :-) I'm in my first month of TTC too and am currently symptom spotting like you LatieK :-) Af due around 7th I think so that makes me 6dpo!! fx for us all :-)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 28/06/2012 23:14

I am testing around 12th July. I think I just ovulated, the opks said yes but it just didn't feel right to me.

Will be a complete miracle if I get a BFP as only dtd once this month Blush. Best of luck to you both. I am trying for no 2, on cycle 3.

LOL that sounds exactly like me! I wish I was a few days earlier..! I have a few internet cheapies which I may use from around the 4th..! Just want to know either way! I hope you get a BFP either on or before the 4th.. :) It would be awesome to concieve on the first cycle!!! :)

Oooh, ooh, me, me! AF is due next Wednesday - 4 July. But I may crack and test before... This is my first TTC cycle and I'm symptom spotting like a mad woman! Probably these things happen every month but I just didn't notice because I wasn't trying to TTC!
