Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW

@SK2970 oh thats good it doesn't happen often! Doesn't sound the nicest of things to have! Men don't seem to suffer with anything while ttc do they 😑🤣 yeah thats what I was thinking of asking them!

Af is on her way im sure, have had more cramping today 👎 on the plus side, i do get to try out my new menstrual cup 🤣

@RobinRose no, it's very rare!! But expect the increase in DTD and the increased time I have left before going to the loo after has caused it! I had a telephone appointment with the dr this morning and he prescribed antibiotics...told me to 'get well before trying again' which made me laugh as there is no way I can consider DTD right now!!

Glad your bloods have come back satisfactory! It's always that way when on a phone call and think of the questions after! Could you ask for a breakdown of the bloods and the normal ranges, and is there anything you can do make them even better?

@SK2970 do you get a lot of UTIs? I have read that not moving for a while after sex can cause them? Hope it clears up for you soon!

My bloods came back 'satisfactory' so thats good! I didnt think to ask for more details so will have to call back 🤦🏼‍♀️

Morning,
@Leobaby hope your migraine has eased! Thankfully I only rarely get them!

Not sure I would do anything different other than hopefully not get a UTI which stops us DTD during fertile week. I'm not ready for OPKs yet or checking CM, just can't face it!

Struggling this morning with UTI, have pains all round waiting for dr to call back for some lovely antibiotics!

@Leobaby I will try to start looking at it like its only been 3 months! So worried the procedure scar back over (this van happen after a year) why can't baby making be more simple 😑🤣 i hope youd migraines buggered off? I find paracetamol with caffeine in helps to ease them (can't take my migraine meds while ttc!) x

@SK2970 I bought a first response and clear blue digital at the start of the year, I had a very odd month and thought I was pregnant but noooo af was just late 😑 so I have them for when I'm ready!

No i won't do anything different, try dtd a couple more times during fertile week maybe? I just have a 'meh fuck it' attitude at the moment, I don't want to stress over opks and timed sex every month. Might have another month off opks then go back to them? Should hear about my 21day bloods today so that might change everything! Will you do anything differently?

@RobinRose I have vowed not to test until AF due on 27th, but already considering getting some early response ordered!!

@Leobaby I hope you will determine it in a few days! Bet your hormones are all over the place! Keep positive!

If doesn't happen this time, is there anything you would do different next time?

@Csari I'm doing OK! Migraine has gone so thats a bonus 🙂 hope you don't have to go too many cycles until you get your bfp!

@SK2970 I won't test unless af is late, I am hoping I get a chance to test on my birthday though! (22nd). How about you?

Hi @SK2970 I am going to try and wait until after AF is due this month, just to save some money. Last month I had so many symptoms from a few days past ovulation that I ended up testing early. Annoyingly it was a duff test with a weird half line so I ended up having to get another pack of tests and spending more than I wanted to lol.
I always feel like its less disappointing if I know before AF arrives though, I would hate to be late and get my hopes up then have a bfp anyway.

How about you?

@Leobaby aww I'm sad that you have ruled it out when still so far to go.. but I do get it completely!! Nothing worse than AF arriving!! I'm feeling much better thank you, hoping that I have got rid of it with drinking loads of water!! The problem is that I now can't stop peeing haha

I have found a thread which shows resting HR trends on the fitbit so now watching that daily!
When is everybody due to test? Anybody a serial early tester?

@Leobaby no too not long really. We've not been trying particularly constantly if I'm honest, so this is the first month that we've actually tried to make sure we DTD around the right time.

Hey @RobinRose I'm really good thanks, how are you doing now? Hope your migraine has eased off.

@Leobaby well temping only let's you now you have ovulated after its been and gone! Yeah migraines are pretty rank, I usually get them around ovulation and af! I am feeling better! Hmm it couldn't be but I'm taking the migraine and the pains yesturday (more today) that af is on its way x 😑

Morning I found you from the other thread! Have you had anymore indications that you have ov? I hope you feel relieved that your not alone!
I'm due AF on 27th, currently 3dpo according to flo app. I think I felt twinges a few days before so I'm thinking/hoping that I ov 2 days earlier when we DTD every other day. I'm not using opks as only on cycle 2 so 'trying' to keep it casual!!
I developed a lovely UTI which has stopped us DTD, I have been drinking gallons of water for three days and really hoping that it's gone! The symptoms between that and TTC are so similar and it's already driving me crazy!

@Leobaby can you send some of your positiveness this way please!! If you've been trying for a year it wouldn't hurt to get is count checked? Generally, I think if he's fit and healthy he should be fine? but you never know. It does sound like Flo probably got a little confused because of the cycle length variation? I use a cupple of apps to track, i downloaded flo a few days ago and I think the af prediction is more accurate based on previous cycles! Will see if it gets ovulation right! I only tried temping for 1 month so I'm probably not the best person to ask, it helped to pinpoint exactly when I ovulated but I just found it stressful. Omg yes to cake! 🤤 cake is awesome!

My migraine yesterday started to come back before I went to sleep, which then woke me up 😑spent the best part of 3am till now feeling sick(blaming it on migraine and I seem to be fl og gas!) Oh and I had some sharp shooting pains on my right side which i get before af 🙁 sooooo it's not looking great for me! x

@Csari how are you? x

@Leobaby I guess I could call those 6 months practice runs 🤣! Haha neither does dp really but he's happy to take supplements even if they do taste vile! I just bought a bbt thermometer off amazon and used an app to chart it! You could have already ovulated, some people do get ewcm after 🤞? I think there should be some kind of gift if af arrives instead of a bfp! I usualy indulge in chocolate 🤣 x

@Curiosity101 hope you've had an enjoyable maternity leave!

Thanks again @Leobaby and I will do, looking forward to hearing how you get on too. TTC since around Christmas/New year. How about you?

@RobinRose I'm not, we've not got any immediate plans as I'm currently finishing up my maternity leave. But perhaps at the end of the year or early next year... we'll see.
