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?

@Csari I just have this niggling feeling it is? Thank you, got some conceive plus to try this month! Yeah I think we will, i know it can take longer than a year but I'm worried about dps operation scarring up.

So glad your scan went ok! Has the bleeding stopped now? X

Csari · 14/08/2020 15:39

@RobinRose I'm sure it's not you and regular periods are a really positive sign. I will keep everything for you crossed this month. Will you go to the Drs if it does get to a year?

My scan went ok, saw the gestational sac and yolk sac but not baby yet as its too early but she couldn't see any sign of a bleed which is a good thing. Got to go back in a couple of weeks to check viability.

RobinRose · 13/08/2020 09:07

@Csari I am ok I think, just gutted it has been almost a year and not even a glimmer of a bfp. Cant help but think there is something wrong with me 😔. At least I am getting regular periods a suppose.

How frustrating for you, i could just be your body adjusting to everything? (I'm no expert unfortunately!) At least you only have to wait untill tomorrow for your scan, hang in there girl! Everything crossed for you 🤞 x

Csari · 13/08/2020 08:20

I'm so sorry to hear that @RobinRose, that's so rubbish. I Hope you are ok.

@Leobaby that is such a lovely name, I bet you cant wait!

I'm still losing old blood, was slightly heavier yesterday morning to I rang the drs and am booked in for a scan on Friday. Same again today, im beginning to dread waking up.

RobinRose · 13/08/2020 07:21

@Leobaby what cake are you having? Aww nice! My boy is a very fluffy tabby but I am sure he is crossed with something 🤔 he's huge!

Aaaaaaand of course af did not stay away, arrived right on time! Why do I have to be so in tune with my body 😑

Leobaby · 12/08/2020 11:32

@RobinRose does she! Yes I do love cake I’m so looking forward to it lmao!😂oh that is so cute bless him. A tabby, I think the dad is pedigree. He looks like a tiger and is also called tiger lol! And no that’s a shame for your af symptoms. Hoping af stays away for you!☹️

@Csari bless you it must be so rubbish and make you feel so anxious. Still early weeks for you, you might start to get symptoms within the next few weeks but every pregnancy is different! Don’t worry. Do you have any scans or midwife appointments booked?
And yes I do! I’m thinking coco lol 😂

@Csari Im not surprised you feel uneasy about it, must be hard to stay relaxed about it at the moment? Hope it stops soon to put your mind at ease! My friends sister in law has had no symptoms at all so far, no morning sickness no nothing! I think all is going to come tomorrow, a bit crampy today and have a bit of an icky tummy ☹

Also a cat lover! 😻

Csari · 11/08/2020 13:00

Hey @Leobaby @RobinRose I'm ok thanks, still getting a small amount of brown tinged discharge when I first go for a wee each morning but nothing for the rest of the day, it's so bizarre and making me quite uneasy. I also have no symptoms of pregnancy at all which isn't helping to put my mind at ease lol but im guessing its all ok still. I'm trying to be relaxed about it but its not easy especially after last month.

@Leobaby omg a kitten! So adorable, do you have a name picked out? I love cats.

@RobinRose I'm sorry you are feeling down, still keeping everything crossed that AF stays away for you.

RobinRose · 11/08/2020 12:44

@Leobaby I'm certain it is just af symptoms again! Oh I do love a bit of cake, my mother in law makes the best gluten and dairy free cakes 🤤 he is a rescue cat so not sure how he lost his leg! do you know what sort of kitten you will be getting?

@Csari hope everything is OK?

Having a proper down day today, can't be dealing with af arriving😔

Leobaby · 10/08/2020 14:58

@RobinRose oh okay! Ahh, I so hope it’s a positive sign for you. Keeping my fingers crossed. It is annoying! And I’m not sure, my partner said he’s got something planned. Will most likely be a meal or something! I just can’t wait for the cake if I’m being honest!😂 aww really? That’s so sweet! How cute 🥰yes, I definitely can’t wait! So excited lol

@Leobaby my migraines have been 4/5 days before af the last couple of months, the groin pain doesn't usually lasting this long (on and off since friday) but I'm not reading into it!

Aw no thats annoying isn't it! Are you doing anything nice for your birthday? Ooo a kitten is exciting! I have a 3 legged cat and he is awesome 😃

Leobaby · 10/08/2020 11:37

@Csari oh bless you, hopefully the spotting was nothing to worry about. Spotting early in pregnancy can be common in a lot of pregnancies. Not every pregnancy is always the same! I’m keeping everything crossed for you though. How are you today?

@RobinRose aren’t you getting your af symptoms quite early this time? Ahhh keeping everything crossed for you as well!!

Got my ewcm coming today, had a dream that I was ovulating too so that was funny lol. I’ve not thought about it at all this month, as I’m meant to ovulate Wednesday which is not my birthday like I expected 😭. But I’m not going to be with OH until Saturday so I’m out this month! But I don’t mind as I’m getting a kitten as part of a birthday present early September! So my mind is now occupied on that 🤣 but next month I’ve worked out I ovulate on the weekend - I’m usually with OH on weekends so we shall see for next month!

@Csari I hope the dpotting stays away for you! Do you have a scan booked? Yes definitely try and relax 😌.

I am ok, feeling sorry for myself today! Groin pain is on and off, af is due anytime between Thursday and Sunday I would say, trying not to keep track if things (failing miserably). Thank you, Can you keep your toes crossed too?! 🙄😂

Csari · 09/08/2020 11:01

@RobinRose thanks so much, it seems to have happened just the once so far and stopped now so I'm really hoping.
I'm going to try and relax about it and hope for the best.

How are you feeling and when is AF due? Fingers crossed for you 😊

RobinRose · 09/08/2020 10:28

@Leobaby yep, so used to fstting them nowadays! I have had pain on right side of my groin, i get this before af so I am sure af will show soon. 👎

@Csari still keeping everything crossed for you, light spotting can be ok and nithing to worry about (of course your going to worry though). Remember not all pregnancies are the same, the spottibg could be completely normal for you this time round! Hope you are okay x

Csari · 09/08/2020 07:56

Hey @Leobaby I'm ok but woke up with brown spotting today so looks like I'm going to lose this pregnancy as well. I'm 5+1 today and so so hoped things would go better this time round but I'm not so hopeful now. I never had any spotting or bleeding with my DS so it's not something that's normal for me 😔 just feeling really deflated.

Hope you guys are all ok.

Leobaby · 07/08/2020 19:35

@Csari aw that’s lovely, not boring at all. How are you? Is everything going okay?

@RobinRose oh no, again. How horrible you experience those all the time! I hope that’s not the case for you though☹️

OP posts:
RobinRose · 07/08/2020 07:15

Woke up with a migraine this morning so pretty sure af will be making an appearance 😔

RobinRose · 05/08/2020 10:08

@Leobaby I feel less stressed since I stopped using opks, I'm just fed up of waiting!

@Csari doesn't sound boring at all! I would love to do my garden but I am not very green fingered, I know nothing about gardening! I have managed to grow a sunflower from the start of lockdown though! Some of the leaves are a bit dishevelled but it bloomed over the weekend 🌻 😊 so happy i have not killed it (yet)!! Thank you, Yes it is utterly bloody rubbish!!

Csari · 05/08/2020 08:41

@Leobaby @RobinRose it sounds totally boring but I'm going to sort out ny garden lol I've grown veg in it for the past couple of years and it looks more like an allotment than a garden now so I'm going to change it around and have some flower beds instead lol. Definitely not exciting.

@Leobaby I'm so sorry to hear about your job, thats really rubbish. I hope you find something soon.

@RobinRose I really hope this is your month, I'm keeping everything crossed for you. TTC is just so utterly rubbish and frustrating.

Leobaby · 04/08/2020 14:43

@RobinRose good! Oh no bless you, you can always have a month off give yourself a break! Don’t worry about moaning it’s all good & we need to do it sometimes! X

OP posts:
RobinRose · 04/08/2020 13:24

@Leobaby yeah we will get another sperm count done if we don't conceive by October (thats when we started trying) I hope so but i just feel like giving up at the moment.

Sorry for the moan!

Leobaby · 04/08/2020 13:21

@RobinRose I really hope this is your month. You will get there!!

OP posts:
Leobaby · 04/08/2020 13:20

@RobinRose will you be talking to your gp for some advice and what they think if you don’t conceive this month? Maybe test your partners sperm count again see if it’s improved?

OP posts:
RobinRose · 04/08/2020 12:50

@Leobaby oh no that is rotten, I hope you find something soon!

@Csari a week off sounds lovley! Are you doing anything nice? I'm ok but it hit me today it will be a year next month since my partners operation! I so hoped we would of conceived by then 😔
