Thread 2. #Ttc1. We weren't supposed to start yet, but the starting pistol (penis) has gone off. Join our journey as we navigate the ovia boat, pissy sticks and symptoms spotting

Ha! I just logged back into this thread and burst out laughing (at work - awkward) at "cocked out". This thread is a bad influence, I spent the weekend trying to persuade OH that we should bring forward the January start date. He wasn't convinced so we're a definite Jan start now. Excited to hear everyone else's news whilst I wait!

Pink - I hear you, we were weekenders too. I've caved and told OH when we need to do it, it's too much pressure trying to act all casually up for it all the time! But agree, it's hard for it not to become timetabled isn't it...

"cocked out" good one! We should start a list of common phrases used in this thread!

No news (from me) is good news! Nothing happened yet....still glue-like CM

Shelb and Runner good luck with the egg orbiting!

Yes!

Yeh it is Shelb

Is Ovia giving you 12 days until you can test?

Aww runner I hope it happens for you.

For me It would be a nice surprise but I'm on cycle one so not expecting it, and also if I don't get upduffed this month it would be better work-wise to be honest to have another months grace. Still right there with you obsessing though! Good to have a buddy!

Yep, that sounds right.

Eek! So we have 24 to 48 hours to get as many sperms as possible in egg orbit!!!

I don't know about you but I'm desperate for this month to be my month but trying not to get too set on it just in case.

Hi runner yeah can see - omg we are exactly the same, first at 9 second at lunchtime! First was a little darker I think and came up quicker. So should ovulate in next 12-24 hours they say don't they, then a 24hour window after that for the swimmers to meet the target?

Lol, I missed "cocked out"

Shelb I've done 2 opk's today. One at about 8am and one a couple of minutes ago. I don't know if you can tell but today's pm one is ever so slightly lighter. Still darker than the control line but I think my surge must have been some time this morning. I'll do another one tomorrow just for comparison. I also did a pregnancy test because I wanted to be sure and I am insane. It was of course BFN

shelb - cocked out made me chuckle!

In terms of exercise, I'm sticking to my usual until a BFP comes along, which includes sit ups

Just realised that I missed loads of posts before I posted this morning, so it looks like I ignored various posts - sorry! Not sure what's going on with my t'interweb.

I've stupidly already told OH we have to DTD every other day, but will try not to make a big deal about it. We are usually weekend sexers as we are so busy during the week, so sex during the week will be a novelty anyway!!

I'm ovulating on cd21, that's pretty late isn't it?

X

Runner I know!

Have you done an opk today out of interest?

X

Hahah cocked out

Eee, Shelb we're ovulating at the same time.

I have the same problem with OH I had to coax him last night so I think tonight will be off the menu. Will try to attack him tomorrow

Thanks bunch. I know, I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Yeah I'll aim for tomorrow. I'm cocked out honestly.

You should be fine from yesterday Shelb. It's not good for the winners to dtd every day. Tomorrow would be a good "just in case" too. The test doesn't mean you're ovulating right now but more like you're about to in the next few days so yesterday and tomorrow will be good. Eek it's all so exciting with finally some good results from OPK's!!

Arrrrggg!!

Opk ultra positive today! Test line darker than control and came up in under a minute. Am I going to have to DTD again tonight or will yesterday mornings swimmers be ok?? I don't think I could coax him into it tonight.

Good morning everyone.

I am frantically trying to catch up on the thread so bear with me ladies.

Well I feel much better, my chest infection is clearing and I dont feel like I am coughing my guts up wohoo. AF arrived in the middle of it all and it is particularly heavy but I am trying my best to keep positive as the past two weeks has been rough.

Me and OH managed to pick up our new cars at the weekend, it seems we both now own more family friendly vehicles.

Well I just checked and my next test date will be NYE wouldnt that be a nice present.

Have a good day everyone.

Thanks Bunch

Btw achey boobs are back. I've discovered they are a common side effect of ovulation which is good as the matched up with when I think I ovulated last month too.

I'm hoping that means that if they hang around like they did last month it means I have a shiny fertilised egg. They only faded last month when my chemical pregnancy lines faded.

F&TX for you here Runner!!

That's a very good point Runner. I found trying it on when not fertile and erm making him happy during AF helped him not feel like a sperm donor. Mind you we struggled to have much sex anyway, his job has him a bit stressed and therefore low libido level. I've just realised this morning I won't have AF for another year!! Amazing!

Oh and Bunch I'm very proud of that opk... Just hoping that when I poas in 12 days the test is as clearly positive!!
