Wow when that's a major addiction you've got there! I'm hoping I've done enough this month but not by number of shags, just strategic timing... Not ideal but it was an uphill struggle all the way! Cd 16 today and cycles have been a bit variable - one or two were 24 days!! Usually 28 days tho...

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 09:06

I know Sad I doubt it as hell probably be asleep when I get back but I'll try

NickiNockiNoodle · 08/09/2012 08:30

50?! Wow! At least you finally got the surge!

Maybe tonight if you can, kitty? It's a real bugger, isn't it? :-(

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 08:21

When!!!! 50, I've just used 2, one last night neg although diluted and one this morning ( can I feel smug now Grin)
I think you are over thinking the 48 hr thing, I'd suggest it ment anytime in the 48hrs before and that's why opk work aswell, like it says for the next 24-48 hrs you are at your most fertile
Ithibk you are right on track!
Dh is normally very obliging but I think we started too early and we've been doing it eod so i think it feels like I've been at him alot, I thought ov would be well before now so abit gutted, defo can't do it tomorrow morning as he's in work, it's either tomorrow night of I cancel my night out ( picked up at 7:15 and dd not in bed til then) and do it tonight? What do you think?!?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 08/09/2012 07:58

kitty I think I read somewhere that you are most likely to get pregnant if you dtd 48 hours before ovulation. It made me painic as we only dtd on Wed and Fri, so if I ov today it means we dtd 72 and 24 hours before ov. (I am obviously over thinking this).

I just used my last opk this month, negative again Smile. I can't believe how many I got through this month, 50 bloody opks [shame], they were meant to last next month too.

NickiNockiNoodle · 08/09/2012 07:41

Hopefully yesterday will be enough. If it happens today you have sperm waiting and it will also be a viable egg tomorrow, so could you persuade him in the morning?

I thought men always wanted sex. Seemingly do until it's sodding vital. :-(

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 07:37

But also this means I really feel like we should dtd again, atleast once and really not sure if dh will be up for it Sad

kittykatskumkwat · 08/09/2012 07:37

Well I wanted to see if I was right about ov so poas and Smile yeay
When it's definatly a later test date for me, no chance on the 15

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 23:38

I always post while winkling Grin

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 07/09/2012 22:49

Well dine kitty but only if it was only an almost rape of your dh Smile glad it's not just me that posts while winkling.

Best of luck with the results winkle. I have my ultrasound booked on 13th Sep, will get bloods taken on 15th and app to discuss results on 19th. At least it should distract me from the dreaded 2ww.

Hi yikes afraid there are still lots of familiar faces here.

kittykatskumkwat · 07/09/2012 22:20

Winkle it will happen, it just takes longer for some of us, god has his plans!!
I think your relaxed Holliday shagging was just what the doctor ordered, keep positive!
Yikes, good to see you although it would be nice to be on antenatel threads together! Maybe just keep up with this one Wink
Everyday woo, too much for me, I've just dtd again ( currently winkling Wink) had to practically rape dh and this is only number 5 for this month! I remember when I used to have to fight men off < daydreams of being 17 again>

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 21:44

Hello Yikes!!

YikesHereWeGo · 07/09/2012 21:21

Hello everyone, long time no see. Hope you're all doing OK? I haven't been on MN for a long while, trying to take a more chilled-out approach to TTC but no luck yet with the ever-elusive BFP. Good to see lots of familiar faces still around though - I thought I might be the only one who hadn't graduated to the pregnancy boards. I've just had a read through of all the comments on this thread to catch-up - I'm not sure I have the energy any more to keep up with MN threads and DTD every day in ov-week (my new tactic) but I wish you all well with your TTC plans. Smile Wine

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 21:20

We are going next week to talk through the results. I'll keep you posted.

I'm ok! Just home alone and musing!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 07/09/2012 21:05

Hi winkle don't really know what to say. You sound a bit down in the dumps.

How are your fertility tests going (they may become irrelevant, this could be your month)?

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 20:59

I'm the same in as I haven't been expecting a positive for a few months now :(

I've seriously tried everything.

kittykatskumkwat · 07/09/2012 20:57

Well I hadn't given up as such but after 18+ months I wasn't expecting it and had a doctors app that month for tests plus it was December and I'd said to dh I don't care what happens this month I'm going to get drunk alot Blush
My bosses wife had pcos had tried for 9 years and had given up and adopted a lovely little girl, they didn't use contraception ( why would you) and she found out she was 18wks 2 years ago, it took so long because it just didn't even occur to her it could be that Grin

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 20:36

I don't know how you ever give up trying?

kittykatskumkwat · 07/09/2012 20:23

Ah winkle if only it worked like that!! The cycle after mc we did it loads and twice on day of smiley but bfn the cycle I got pg with dd, twice the whole month!
Plus you here too often we gave up and only had sex right after af then pow pg! It's anoying but happens

winkle2 · 07/09/2012 18:43

I def feel more relaxed this month and have enjoyed the sex.

But I also feel that of we can't get preg dtd every day and on hols then what chance do we have?!

DulcetMoans · 07/09/2012 18:19

Oooooh I'm 15th too. Surely we can get at least one BFP between us!

Watching 16 and pregnant: life after labour. I hate them all but I have to watch it.

kittykatskumkwat · 07/09/2012 18:13

Yes I was going to test on the 15th aswell as I'd be cd33 then a long cycle but as the signs are here now think I think realistically that be to soon

( but if you all do it I will still too Blush- just to fit in you understand!!)

NickiNockiNoodle · 07/09/2012 18:09

I shouldn't really test on 15th either, When as I OV'd later than anticipated. Still going to though as I'm seeing my GP to chat about TTC and my experience so far. So if I am up duffed, I don't want to chat about something irrelevant!

Our bodies are just trying us. :-/

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 07/09/2012 18:05

It's a deal kitty I was going to be testing buddies with resipsa and nic but stupid late ov ruined that plan. Glad I have a testing buddy still.

It will be your turn to be smug later tonight after you seduce your dh

kittykatskumkwat · 07/09/2012 17:48

Winkle in with you on that, opk central next month!!! To much dtd and I definatly peeked to soon, really can't be bothered tonight but have to!!!
When very Envy I would be smug too
We will be testing buddies this month I think Smile
