Hey I’ve just joined, I’m pretty sure I’m 6dpo, can’t say I really have symptoms at the moment.

Does anyone want to join me on this wait?💖

Hey guys, tried to have one of those months of 'not thinking about it so much'.. done well so far but can definitely say I'll positively be coming on in the next week I can feel it already!
So emotional today it's unreal and the OH is away with work tonight which makes me feel even worse so it's just me and the doggy.
Got a vaginal USS coming up as they're finally starting to investigate! Hope to see lots of BFPs from you guys this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

@chelsea95 sperm can live for 5 days remember ! And there's always a chance you ovulated earlier than normal? I am 6dpo today I think? My app predicted last Tuesday as O day but I've looked back through previous cycles and normally ovulate 6 days after end of AF apparently? So I have no clue ! I'm either 6 or 8 Lol! Come down with the worst cold and I never EVER get ill, i haven't had a cold for about 4 years ! And a really chesty cough :( desperate to poas but i know it's too early !

@Barker26 Eeek that sounds great! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!😁 you’ll have to update me when you start getting any symptoms! Did you do anything different this month?

I can almost guarantee it won’t happen this month, think I missed O day either today or last few days haven’t been tracking due to sickness and we haven’t DTD once since Monday 😂😳 going to have to do a lot better next month! X

@chelsea95 I'm a bit worried that my cycles seem irregular now so can't be too sure of when i will ovulate ! Last cycle was 25 days and the one before was 28! Why aren't our bodies like clockwork haha! Really hope this is our month although it is only our 2nd cycle trying so trying not to be ungrateful! Fingers crossed for us

@chelsea95 ah no way I thought you had AF before me ? How long are your cycles ??

Chelsea95 · 03/10/2018 19:28

@Barker26 eeeek fingers crossed this is the month for you 🤞🏽 I’m so jel I’m on CD9 and I don’t ovulate until around CD16-18 which will be the 12th or 13th long ol wait 😂 x

OP posts:
Barker26 · 02/10/2018 11:19

Defo early I think @chelsea95! So CD5 now fertile window starts Friday apparently! I'm confident about this month now ! Got obsessive about it last month so not buying any tests until AF is late this time !!

Chelsea95 · 01/10/2018 19:36

Yeah I can imagine! Well I guess if it was implantation you’ll either ovulating or preggo next week, may have just come early 🤷🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
Barker26 · 01/10/2018 19:30

@Chelsea95 well I've had to edit my period dates in Flo now as AF came early.. So it is predicting next Tuesday! Still really annoyed about this weird period ! Had to have a word with myself as i kept googling implantation bleeding etc etc ! How about you?

Chelsea95 · 01/10/2018 19:11

@Barker26 I know they deffo did 😂 when will you be due to ovulate this month?

@Chelsea95 it's so frustrating isn't it! My school sex ed lessons made it seem so easy !!!

Chelsea95 · 01/10/2018 13:38

@Barker26 you too!! This will be the month for all of us hopefully 🤞🏽

I’m not an expert on them but what I think is right is that when the control line is either the same colour or darker than the test line it means you’ll be ovulating in 12-36 hours after (I think) so you should DTD that night and I guess every other day or every day after...I also read that it’s most effective to fall pregnant if you DTD 2 days before ovulation :/

Who knew there would be so much going on to make a baby 😩 x

OP posts:
Barker26 · 01/10/2018 13:24

@Chelsea95 sounds like you will have all bases covered!!! I think we are going to DTD just every other day in fertile window ! I have some ovulation sticks but not exactly sure how to use them Confused

Chelsea95 · 01/10/2018 10:51

@Barker26 that does sound odd! Exactly that at least we have this cycle to look forward too!

SMEP (Sperm Meets Egg Plan) - so starting on cycle day 8, you start tracking your ovulation with OPK and DTD every other day, then when you get a positive OPK you DTD for 3 consecutive nights, have a break one night and do it once more for luck 🤞🏽

OP posts:
Barker26 · 01/10/2018 10:39

@Chelsea95 all good hun! What is SMEP?? Im really confused thought AF arrived Friday but very light, then really heavy Saturday through to Sunday now nothing ? It must have been AF as was as heavy as normal but 4 days early I wasn't due on until tomorrow! But oh well I must have ovulated early and I know we DTD too late if so, just looking forward to the next cycle now x

Chelsea95 · 01/10/2018 10:07

@barker26 & @GWat06 hey ladies hope your both well! Sorry AF turned up! But we can all remain positive and get through this month, new opportunities 🤞🏽 We are trying SMEP this month as success rate seems to be pretty good for others, are you trying anything new this month? :)

@RMad6716 you still have a chance 8dpo is pretty early still, any update today? I don’t personally track bbt but might give it a go x
