Hey, so was a little flakey on August bus because this is so hard, but I like the support and folk with bfps give me hope.

Anyway, I am on cycle is seven now, period due first or second September. But will probably poas end of Aug because I turn into a sucker for punishment the week before.

How are you all doing? Will be happy and sorry to see familiar names back.

I also will disappear for days at a time, which doesn't mean I'm ignoring folk, but finding it too intense.

Love and luck

Would love to hear about this month's lovely distractions

@tiredmoma just thought I'd let you have a gander at the group, we have a lot of lovely ladies in here ☺️☺️

RedPanda25 · 27/08/2019 07:25

Tested this morning with an IC and bfn. Think AF due on Saturday so might order some frers. Think I'm just clutching at straws though!

It is harder ttc with two already! Although of course we are so lucky to have them.

MsMiaWallace · 26/08/2019 17:59

I'm ttc number 3 as well!

flossy12 · 26/08/2019 17:51

@MrsMeow2019 I think my urine might have been too diluted, done one this evening and this was my result! Definitely lighter than yesterday so DTD for the next 3 days 😆

I would guess it is so you don’t miss the day in case you ovulate early or at a different time to usual? As you are fertile in the days up to ovulation and then only for 24-48 hrs?

Absa · 26/08/2019 16:47

Basically my question is... if it is a case of getting rid of older sperm to make way for new swimmers.... we can find other ways of doing this so DH doesn't injure back any more...😂?!

Absa · 26/08/2019 16:46

Just at the end of AF - CD7, was planning to follow SMEP this month so should start DTD tomorrow every other day until +OPK. But.... DH has gone and fallen out of a hammock this weekend whilst enjoying the BH sun and knackered his back! So thinking we will have to skip the first few days of DTD and catch up later in the week. Does anyone know why they suggest DTD every other day before even testing for O? Is it just to get rid of any old sperm as we haven't had sex for 10 days (AF)?

MrsMeow2019 · 26/08/2019 16:43

@Blossomingflower94 I'm 4-5 DPO, I wish I knew exactly when I ov'd but still not sure lol! I've been convincing myself of the same today but really I just feel like normal. This is going to be SUCH a long week!!

Hoping to see lots of lovely lines on this thread this time next week! x

Blossomingflower94 · 26/08/2019 16:23

Woke up today with cramps. Currently 5DPO so really hoping it's the beginning of implantation. No other symptoms currently other than being ravenous.

Everything crossed for you all!

Chaosonthehorizon · 26/08/2019 15:32

Think I am 4/5 DPO so a while yet 😓 also DH and I will be apart for a week in a couple of days and I had planned to just do every other day this month.

RedPanda25 · 26/08/2019 15:26

Good luck to you too!! When can you test?

Chaosonthehorizon · 26/08/2019 15:17

Good luck! We already have longer than ideal(to us) as youngest is nearly 3 😓 oh well.

RedPanda25 · 26/08/2019 14:55

Got two DS, one 3.5 and the other nearly 16 months. We don't want a massive age gap so fingers crossed 🤞 don't know whether to test tomorrow or not!

Chaosonthehorizon · 26/08/2019 14:18

RedPanda25 welcome! How old are your others? There are a couple of us ttc 3 here 😀

RedPanda25 · 26/08/2019 14:12

Can I join? We decided very recently to TTC #3. I've recently been diagnosed with endometriosis so I was worried it would take longer to conceive this time. Anyway, I finished my last pill packet at the end of July so we thought we would start trying straight away. I'm now 5 days from when I think AF might be due (not entirely sure after stopping the pill) and I've had some symptoms but think they must just the pill coming out of my system. Don't want to get my hopes up!

Chaosonthehorizon · 26/08/2019 13:45

So having had peak last Tuesday and last night of SMEP on Saturday night I assume we are done for this month? Any point in carrying on? Kids excited about going to friends for a week on Tuesday without DH and don’t really want to cancel.

MrsMeow2019 · 26/08/2019 12:19

@flossy12 sounds promising !! Get DTD!!

flossy12 · 26/08/2019 11:51

So just been to the loo and ..... EWCM! Only small amounts but it's there! Does that make this my ovulation day??

flossy12 · 26/08/2019 11:41

Well did an OPK this morning and Stark negative! Wonder if my LH surge has dropped that quick or if it was a dodgy IC strip, got cramps today but haven't noticed any EWCM

Lu1u · 26/08/2019 09:34

@twbmod sounds promising, I think most apps predict ovulation at CD14 for a 28 day cycle so you must be close. If you have EWCM I would definitely DTD just incase you do ovulate early.

Twbmod · 26/08/2019 09:31

EWCM tonight (it’s between CD 10 and CD11)..... do you think it could be a Sign that ovulation is close?

My cycle is fairly regular 27-29 days....

Thoughts? Too early to ovulate based on roughly 28 day cycle....?

MsMiaWallace · 26/08/2019 09:26

Lots of creamy cm for me today, sorry tmi

Lu1u · 26/08/2019 09:01

@november90 yes sounds right to me, get cracking!

november90 · 25/08/2019 19:51

Thanks for the info everyone! Do I think I had my peak during the night on Thursday as I had a very dark test thurs evening and then faint fri morning, would it mean we start Friday so dtd fri sat sun break and then Tuesday? :)
