Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW

DTD with my partner on Saturday which makes it cycle day 13 for me. I ovulate around cycle day 15/16. So today or tomorrow. I can’t DTD today so I have to stick with my partners swimmers from Saturday. Wondering if I’m still in with a chance this month 😕I know it takes hours for egg to be released and sperm live for a few days but I’m still thinking I’m out. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

@Leobaby that's what I was hoping but it obviously didn't work anyway 🤣 I used to have a high drive but not so much now! How long have you been with your oh? I think I'm either 13/14dpo?! I could set an alarm if I didn't have broken sleep and wake up needing the loo 🤣 oh gosh sounds like your having a very confusing month! I would assume ovulation coukd havebhappened between 13th-16th?! Dose cm usually go dry then creamy after ovulation for you?

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 16:36

It’s also strange because I can feel my mood swings coming. I’ve been very aggravated today, the sound of the printer was annoying me. And I’m feeling anxious about things. I get this as pms. Which is why I also thought I had ovulated.

@Csari tbh I was gonna stay chill about it all, I told myself not to symptom spot and not to worry. But it’s playing in my head when I actually ovulated. I dunno why I’m so obsessed about it this month! I need to chill because I have next month lol. The metallic taste in mouth I never know If I’ve had that before, sometimes Ive felt like I tasted blood, is it like that? Well, I don’t know if I ovulated earlier, I got my flashing smiley on the 13th, so I couldn’t have ovulated any earlier before that. My ewcm started on the 13th also & ended 16th. So I thought I had ovulated on 15th or possibly 16th? If only I didn’t run out of my cb digital tests. Just confused as to why it’s still high. Doesnt your temp drop around ovulation too? 🙄mine seems high? Would be too early to detect hcg surely. Is it actually possible to on an opk? All I know is I’ve been having cramps for 3 days, bloat and gas. Starting to get back ache. Lord knows what’s going on 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've heard that LH tests can sometimes pick up HCG @Leobaby, any chance you could have ovulated earlier than you thought?

Csari · 18/06/2020 16:07

I'm feeling OK thanks. Glad you are both doing well :D is the bloat normal for you @Leobaby or something new? And is anyone doing a bit of symptom spotting or are you all feeling pretty chilled out during the TWW?
For me it feels like its taking forever already lol and I don't have any symptoms either way, except a metallic taste but for some reason I get that every month for a few days after ovulation so not pregnancy related but still annoying.

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 16:03

@RobinRose ah really, that’s so annoying!! Maybe it was a quick LH surge and you missed it?! Lol. And yes I hope so! 😂 I have a high sex drive, my oh use to when we first got together but now he’s like an old man, never can keep up with me lmao. 🤣 and yes definitely!! Well how many dpo are you now? And why don’t you set an alarm to test your temp, or does it not work like that?😂
And I’m confused help!! So I thought I ovulated 2/3 days ago, seeing as my ewcm stopped 2 days ago and I’ve been dry/creamy since (sorry tmi) I’ve done an opk and my LH surge line is pretty high? My temp is 37.10 but I didn’t do it as soon as I woke up. But now I’m just confused, have i ovulated or not.

RobinRose · 18/06/2020 15:53

@Leobaby just the clear blue digital ones! Got so annoyed with them last month because I didn't get a static face, and we managed to dtd every other day 😑 oh lots of dtd for your birthday then! 🤣 they could be, its annoying how all pms symptoms are the same as pregnancy isn't It? I am certain its af though so not getting my hopes up. I don't wake up at the same time everyday so temping isn't the best thing for me!

Leobaby · 18/06/2020 12:19

Hey @Csari. I’m okay! I’ve had serious bloat for a couple days, doesn’t seem to go down. Also a lot of gas lol along with some cramps! Other than that I feel fine. How are you?

@RobinRose which opks do you use? If af arrives I will most likely go onto purchase more cb testing sticks to put into my digital reader. Just wanted to see what these were like too, I guess if then LH line is dark then that’s an indicator you’re at your peak. Just need to dtd every other day around ov 🤷🏼‍♀️ If I’ve calculated right I should be ovulating actually on my birthday in August so 👀😂
You never know, your cramps and headache can be early pregnancy too?! Period symptoms can be like pregnancy symptoms. Are you temping during your TWW? If it drops a couple days before af then it means that af is on her way. If it doesn’t it’s possible pregnancy? So if you’re not temping that’s a good way to find out too!

@Leobaby fingers crossed saturdays swimmers are Strong!! I haven't tried the cheap opks before, not sure if they are worth trying?

@Csari morning! I'm OK, still crampy and have a headache so just waiting for af 😑 how are you today?

Csari · 18/06/2020 08:20

Hey everyone, how are you all feeling today?

Leobaby · 17/06/2020 20:18

@RobinRose I hope not! I’ve downloaded the app femometer. As the opks and thermometer is that make! Yes I’m going to try temping. The app is saying I was off by a day, so I’m actually CD 18 lol my bad. I just hope that when we DTD twice on the Saturday that the EWCM was up there already!

And finally someone who has conceived! @Mumoftwoyoungkids that brings hope. 7 or 8 days old is amazing wow! And how funny that she’s into sports! 😂 sporty from day 1, explains why she was the fastest swimmer & strongest to last that long lol!

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 17/06/2020 19:58

For reasons that are too boring to go into I’m pretty sure that the sperm that helped make dd was 7 or 8 days old.

Not surprisingly dd is:-

  1. A girl
  2. Into endurance sports Grin

And yes - dh was very smug about his “super sperm”.

RobinRose · 17/06/2020 19:53

omg stupid phone, are you going to try temping that should of said 🤦🏼‍♀️

RobinRose · 17/06/2020 19:52

@Leobaby you make it sound so easy 😂im such a negative nelly! Oh that is excitin! Hopefully you won't need them, are youbgoj g to try temping?

Leobaby · 17/06/2020 17:30

@RobinRose lol I’m not that positive but if you think positive then your mindset shall become more positive. The clear blue digital one! But I’ve ordered the femometer one and the thermometer as well. Shall be here tomorrow!

OP posts:
RobinRose · 17/06/2020 17:27

@Leobaby id really like to be as positive as you! What opks do you usually use? Nooo the country is good! Id much rather the country than a city!

Leobaby · 17/06/2020 16:02

@RobinRose well I believe your chances will be higher next month as your OH sperm count should hopefully be better?! If not this month, It won’t take you long trust me 😊It could be! I just wish I had my opk to see what my LH is doing! If the line isn’t there then I must’ve ovulated. If it’s there then I guess I am ovulating! Hopefully I’ll find out tomorrow. So stressful lol😂

Oh lovely! Tbh I think both of your places are much better than mine. It’s boring over here in the country. Not much happening, not much to see, shops are rubbish. There are much prettier places than over here lol!

OP posts:
RobinRose · 17/06/2020 15:49

@Leobaby glad your feeling better, migraines are shite. Aww miracles do happen!! Yeah maybe next month although I don't see why it would happen 🙄😂 I get twinges around ovulation, could be to do with that?

Oh you guys are from nice places! Never been to either but they are on my list! I'm from Norfolk 😎

Csari · 17/06/2020 14:32

They had linked to some things on amazon from what I could see but didn't want to click the link just incase lol.

I'm from Cornwall 😁

Leobaby · 17/06/2020 14:15

Also have had cramps for 3 days now, I’m so confused. Wish I had more opks 🙄

OP posts:
Leobaby · 17/06/2020 14:06

I wonder what that person said? Another one of their posts was deleted on another thread.
@RobinRose definitely needed the sleep lol! Had some toast and a tea now 😊ah well I’ll do the TWW of course 😂just not expecting miracles for me. I’m quite an unlucky person lmao. Oh no really? Gosh that’s unfortunate, if not this month I’m sure next month?! I’m from Gloucestershire. What about you?

OP posts:
RobinRose · 17/06/2020 13:31

@Leobaby sounds like you needed the sleep! Not wasting your time at all! Still within your fertile period and it only takes one time! I know, I will have to ask the doctor to call me back and explain 🤦🏼‍♀️ pains cams back midday today! So I'm certain af will be making an appearance tonight/tomorrow!

Where are you guys from?

@SK2970 sometimes too much sex can cause a uti too, especially if you’re not fully wet you know.. 😂us woman can’t have a day off can we? Well let’s hope your swimmers are strong too and made it to your ovulation! Just get those antibiotics and rest😊

OP posts:
Leobaby · 17/06/2020 13:08

Afternoon @RobinRose & @SK2970. My migraine has gone now thank you. I took ibuprofen & paracetamol. Feel better today, but I have only just woken up lol🙈think I’m gonna class myself as 1dpo today ladies. Just hopefully swimmers from Saturday made it, or am I wasting my time?🤔I’ve read lots that people conceived from dtd once even as far back as 5 days before ov? I like to use opks obviously it helps and I just find it so interesting as well!😂 how little things like that can track such things. And now I’m curious about the temping too! My temp is always high tho when Ive tried it in the past it’s usually 38. So it would be interesting for me to track it. I’m very into the human body lol! But I think next time I would like to definitely dtd more times near ov, but like I’ve said we weren’t really trying.
And your bloods @RobinRose. Satisfactory is good, I hate it when they don’t give more details than that. Definitely ask them for more, it’s what my mum does she finds out exactly what number/level it is etc and will find remedies to make it better herself! But even then, satisfactory means normal so, think you’re definitely ovulating! How are your pains? Still think af is coming? X
