Nicky I bet I'll be exhausted but dh won't complain lol xx

Shemozzle · 11/02/2016 20:32

It can take sperm 12 hours*

Shemozzle · 11/02/2016 20:31

nicky I may be wrong but I was led to believe that a positive OPK means you will ovulate in 12-24 hours on average. It can take sleek 12 hours to make their journey. Whenever I have inputted a positive OPK my fertility apps have ended the fertile window the following day. It is the 3 days before and including the positive OPK that you have the biggest chance of conceiving.

Tabitha78 · 11/02/2016 20:26

Thanks Kellz and Mimilicious. Major deadline met, job interview today. Operation de-stress starts here (after prosecco drinking
of course!)

Shemozzle · 11/02/2016 20:23

No way writer I have done exactly the same! Have already bought littlest dd a big sister tshirt in preparation for telling dp if/when we catch. I was planning on getting him to take he jumper off and asking if he likes her new tshirt. He probably won't get it and will ruin the moment. Grin

Sorry I've got a bit behind on thread, 4dpo now and so nothing much to do but wait and I'm trying to remain patient by not browsing conception boards, baby name threads and googling various symptoms! I'll be back with avengance for hand holding once I start testing way too early next week I'm sure. Blush

Nicky883 · 11/02/2016 15:39

Writer do you only dtd the day that u got a positive ovulation test ? I thought you should do it for 3 days after that ?
This is my first cycle trying so please correct me if i am wrong

Writerwannabe83 · 11/02/2016 15:26

As I had my positive OPK yesterday and did final DTD last night I though I could have a test but the OPK I did this morning (to check it was fading) came up just as dark as yesterday's strip. I wasn't supposed to be going home tonight as was planning on staying at my mom's house (for work related reasons) but now I think I'm going to have to change my plans and go home for another DTD session Confused

Kellz92 · 11/02/2016 15:06

FuckOffDavid · 11/02/2016 12:31

Can anyone give any advice? I've just started taking penicillin and a high dose of ibuprofen for tonsillitis is it still safe to ttc this month? I'm a few days away from my fertile window, but the leaflet for the ibuprofen says to speak to a doctor if ttc.

RattieOfCatan · 11/02/2016 11:20

I really struggle to keep up with this thread!

I so want hula hoops and niknaks now. Having to settle for Crimbles cheese bites, which are amazing but not quite like hula hoops.

I got a smiley face on my Ov test this morning, DH was home until 10 but wasn't up for DTD Hmm TBF to him I wasn't feeling it either, had to do the pet food order and spent a long time comparing dried shrimps/mealworms/blood worms/etc which is hardly conducive to horny feelings!

He'll be home later so hopefully that'll be enough unless I can get him awake in the morning, though given that I'll struggle to wake myself I'm not sure that I will! I leave at 6:30am tomorrow and won't be home until late Saturday, the timing this month sucks a bit!

writer I saw a car with a BFP plate earlier in the week too and had a similar thought! Grin

Kellz92 · 11/02/2016 09:58

Writer Fx for you, DD was a surprise and the baby i lost was conceived on first cycle. My body doesn't want another one by the looks of it :(

Tabitha Good luck with TTC

How are all you lovely ladies feeling lately? I've got a case of sensitive breasts. I'm on CD17 after stopping bc.

Writerwannabe83 · 10/02/2016 22:56

Thanks kellz - I got pregnant on my first cycle last time once my Mirena came out so I'm hoping that if it happened once then it can happen again Grin

Kellz92 · 10/02/2016 22:41

Good luck writer, that's a great idea!! Xx

Writerwannabe83 · 10/02/2016 22:26

Are we allowed to admit to doing really lame things on here???

On the off chance of being lucky enough to get pregnant this time round I have bought DS a t-shirt with "(DS's name) is going to be a big brother!!" on the front of it and I envisage testing whilst DH is away, getting a positive and then sending him a photo of DS wearing the t-shirt Grin Grin

I was driving behind a car today whose last part of the registration plate was BFP - that's got to be a good sign?! Grin

I'm chilling out with half an Easter egg, a glass of 7Up, post DTD and I'm feeling very excited about symptom spotting Grin

MiniLop · 10/02/2016 21:19

Writer my DH was working away when I was due to test when I was pg with DS so I tested over FaceTime. It's something we'll always remember! Then DH had to have dinner with his colleagues and he told them because he was so excited! Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 10/02/2016 21:00

Well we're definitely DTD tonight and then there's not much I can do as I'm away from home on Thursday night.

Looks like I will be entering the TWW. The annoying thing is that on the date on which I would plan on testing my DH is abroad! In fact, he will be abroad for 8 days and I'm not sure I can hold out not testing for that long.....

Kellz92 · 10/02/2016 20:05

Trying, I've never had those. Heard they can make your cycle longer. But not sure if that's true xx

Kellz92 · 10/02/2016 20:04

Giraffe I love Creme eggs....on my way xxx

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 10/02/2016 19:28

writer that's definitely positive which means ovulation either this evening or tomorrow probably. Do another one tomorrow and see if it's fading.

I've got hula hoops and niknaks on the back seat. Anyone? Ooh and a 12 pack of creme eggs!

Tryingtowait · 10/02/2016 18:34

Hi guys hope you're all ok and to see bfps soon. I'm on cd7 and just bought seven seas trying for baby. Has anyone had these? Can you recommend them? Also bought decaf coffee to try and curb my addiction Blush healthy eating gone well today. Trying to be positive.

tabutha I know what you mean about work stress. I feel stressed every time I'm at work :( really trying to just let it go and accept there's no pleasing everyone!
