Sperm meets egg plan toothache I think it consists of dtd every other day from cd8 in conjunction with ov prediction sticks. Was going to do it last month but had many setbacks at the start (pet died then I got sciatica and could not walk let alone night acrobatics!) Plus didn't buy opks. Didn't start dtd til day 11 or 12 so think missed the boat. Must have ovd early as short cycle, only 26 days.

That's another thing. I started bleeding day 27 so coz that's now day 1 did I have 26 day cycle or 27? There is much debate on my facebook ttc group!

RPopz · 30/03/2014 14:14

toothachereturns · 30/03/2014 14:11

Af due 16th April-ish. Debatable positive opk last night.... I'll do another tonight to see if I get a stronger result. Either way, the theme of this weekend and next week will be lots of DTD. Grin

victoria401 · 30/03/2014 13:58

Right I've bought some ov sticks! Told DH we are doing the SMEP and that's final! If this doesn't work I'll be VERY ANGRY! I Mean business this month!

No worries Rpopz. I'm on another thread to discuss our difficulties, trying to keep it out of the regular buses :-) but yeah we are both having tests. Until its proven otherwise we are still hopeful it will happen naturally :-)

RPopz · 29/03/2014 19:35

Hello :)

Does anyone know what sore boobs means in relation to ovulation? Predicted ovulation was Thursday but yesterday I was in agony all day with painful boobs. Does that usually happen after ovulation or does it indicate I actually ovulated a day later than I thought?

I'm bidding on cbfms and preseed on ebay.... :-O

victoria401 · 28/03/2014 10:39

Need to buck up my ideas this month! What can I do!

indigo55 · 27/03/2014 22:06

I hope AF stays away Rpopz and you have some good news soon! fx

Love the determination Drew!

indigo55 · 27/03/2014 22:04

Feel determined this cycle too.
First time with BBT, drinking grapefruit juice to produce more cm and on top got some conceive plus lubricants AND even got opks- I have a very irregular cycle so I think Il need tons of that.

Anything new, different people are trying this cycle?

RPopz · 27/03/2014 18:32

That's the thing I'm worried about I think, I'm using a period tracker phone app at the mo, so I'm not necessarily ovulating when it says, so the opks would help to take the mystery out of it.... but if that still doesn't work I will start worrying something is seriously wrong!! Plus I guess you still need regular dtding just to be sure...

Hope you all have a lovely evening! x

NewlymrsB · 27/03/2014 17:54

Haha love it Drew! Enjoy ;) ;)
