Anyone conceive DTD 3/4 days before ovulation?

That basically.

Dtd 3 days before FF is showing I ovulated this month. And then 1dpo. Terrible timing that just happened this month and I'm now convinced we have missed our chances this month!
Someone please come along and give me a success story and a bit of hope! It's going to be a long 2WW 🙈

Yes - just found out I'm pregnant after DTD once on a Tues and ovulated Fri or more likely sat.

Thanks for all of you taking time to reply!

Fingers crossed we are all still in with a chance!

A may baby actually wouldn't work out particularly well for us for a number of reasons, so in some ways if it doesn't happen this month it's not a huge problem. But you know how it is, when you are trying for a baby every month that goes by is frustrating!

@Willyangel are you using opks and temping? Also using the fertility friend app? They are all great if you aren't already doing them x

I need an advice on what to do for me to conceive

Seven months of unprotected sex no sign of conception

Baby dust to all!

@Sittingintheshade thank you for sharing. Reading stories like yours really help.

We DTD Wednesday and tonight and I ovulated yesterday, being Sunday. Same as you Fia awful timing this month which totally sucks as everything about falling pregnant this month would have been perfect! Totally gutted. I know there is a chance but I just feel like from wednesday is too long for the sperm to live and tonight I feel like the egg has already gone!

Boo hoo!!! Maybe the 2ww wait won't be so bad this time?!

Sittingintheshade · 21/08/2017 22:06

I'm embarrassed to say I wasn't trying as have a 6mo dc. But I guess it only takes the one sperm!! Good luck, hope you get the result you want! Fingers crossed and you're not out till you're out! Flowers

@Sittingintheshade that's what I wanted to hear! Getting a bit down about it tonight. Would be lovely to have a surprise bfp next week, but I'm not holding out much hope!
