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?

@RobinRose ah that’s nice then! Not a lot for me, due to covid I lost my job so still trying to find something else. But enjoying the time to myself too much lol.

@Csari how are you now? And I’m good thank you! Aw I bet you are looking forward to that how lovely for you! do you have any plans?

Thanks everyone :) I'm definitely going to follow your advice and just take it day by day, I really don't want to be stressed abd worried all the time.

How are you all doing? I have a week off work next week and I am soo looking forward to it.

RobinRose · 04/08/2020 08:35

Ah @RobinRose that’s the best way! I’m glad you’re more chilled about it this time. No need to be stressing ourselves out about it! Doing anything nice this week?

@Leobaby no need to apologise, we all need time out fir ourselrves! I'm on cd16 I think, af has been arriving around cd26-27! Im trying not to keep track, i don't want to get fixated when af should be arriving! Might be why I'm quite chilled 🤣

Hey ladies so sorry I’ve been taking time to myself these last few days! @RobinRose how are you? When’s af due? @Csari yes my birthday is this month! On the 15th but I ovulate a few day’s before so whether I’m with my partner then is doubtful. So I don’t think it’ll be this month! And omg!!! That’s so amazing you got your bfp! I’m so happy for you and keeping my fingers crossed for you! How are you today?
@SK2970 I’m okay thank you. And no, but we’re taking it as it comes still. If it happens it happens but we’re not gonna actively try! (We do really want a baby though) I don’t live with him that’s why.. so when I do ovulate I’m never with him and I won’t be this month! It’s stressful for both of us and not living together and being able to progress is taking an impact on our relationship. I’m hoping next year we’ll have everything sorted. X

Hi Ladies!

Hope your all ok!

@Csari I'm so pleased for you! Taking it a day at a time is the best way but fingers are tightly crossed for you this time!!

@RobinRose it's good that you are feeling chilled this month, we put so much pressure on ourselves!!

@Leobaby how are you feeling? Have u had anymore chats with your partner?
xx

RobinRose · 01/08/2020 18:18

@Csari oh bless him! I am sure everything will be okay! Just take a deeeeep deep breathe 😊

I have no idea if I ovulated or not this month, had another migraine this morning 😑 I do seem to be relatively chilled this month though, no idea why 😂

@Leobaby hope your okay?

Csari · 01/08/2020 12:54

Thanks so much @RobinRose its been amazing to have people to talk to about all this.

I wasn't sure whether to tell him but he came upstairs and saw me checking the test so he guessed from my expression lol. He is pleased but is trying not to get excited after last time so he hasn't eally mentioned it since.

You are so right, I'm going to try to take it day by day and not stress as I know it doesn't change anything. I just really hope it works out this time.

RobinRose · 01/08/2020 12:35

@Csari keeping my fingers crossed for you🤞

RobinRose · 01/08/2020 12:34

@Csari no not too long thankfully!!

Oh my goodness! Congratulations!! I am so
so pleased for you! 🥳🥳🥳 just take each day as it comes and try not to stress (much easier said then done I know!), keep yourself busy! We are here if you want to chat and vent! Have you told your other half yet?

Csari · 01/08/2020 11:51

Oh @RobinRose that sounds awful. Hopefully you didn't get stuck for too long in that heat.

I'm ok thanks, today is CD29 for me and 14 dpo I think, I decided to test and got a BFP which I really didn't expect at all this month tbh. I'm really pleased but also a hugely nervous as I have literally no symptoms and after last month I keep worrying that it will be another chemical/early loss so I'm not getting my hopes up too high.

I'm not telling anyone this time either as last month I told my best friend and it was soo hard having to telling her that I wasn't pregnant anymore, this time I'll keep it up myself until the scan if I get that far.

RobinRose · 31/07/2020 12:42

@Csari glad to hear 😊 i am pretty good today! Currently stuck in 33°c traffic 😑 how are you?

Csari · 31/07/2020 10:40

Thanks so much @RobinRose that was exactly what I needed to hear :)

How is everyone feeling today? X

RobinRose · 30/07/2020 22:59

@csari oh really? I hope af doesn't drag her heels and shows soon! Still a chance for that bfp! That must be really shitty for you at the moment, your time will come soon lovely!! But yes it is bloody exhausting, mentally, emotionally and physically! No need to apologise, moan away!! I would say put them away (out of sight out of mind) and if af is late then test 🤞

Csari · 30/07/2020 13:51

I had a dream last night that I got a really clear BFP and it just seems a bit cruel now. Everyone I know is getting pregnant or getting close to their due dates and I find myself getting a little bit tired of it all, especially the waiting for AF each month and analysing everything even when I try not too. Its exhausting isn't it.

Sorry for the moan, I've just had some tests delivered and I don't even want to do one as I know its going to be negative.

Csari · 30/07/2020 13:29

Hi @Leobaby sorry AF arrived, that's rubbish. Did you say your birthday is next month? Fingers crossed for a Birthday BFP if it is :) and at least you had chocolate ready to go lol. How are you doing now?

@RobinRose I am ok thanks, just waiting for AF now. I'm on CD27 so could be any day now. I definitely don't feel like I'll be pregnant this month unfortunately as have zero symptoms but I'm not too bothered as its been a weird cycle after the chemical pregnancy last month. How are you doing?

RobinRose · 30/07/2020 12:45

@Leobaby no i ended up getting alergies in my late teens! Oh no, sorry yo hear you haven't had a very good month! August is a shiny new month 😁 umm I think so, just dtd when we can, I must have got one day surely 😄 i haven't really had any ewcm this month. I don't think this month will be our month! I think it is easier to stay negative about it now.

How's everyone else getting on?!

Lmao I got confused again then 🤣 @RobinRose how strange! Oh wow, that’s strange how you’ve not always been? I didn’t know you could develop allergies like that! That’s such a pain I love buenos I’d die if I couldn’t eat them again 😭yes I’m okay. I’m very fed up of everything and everyone in general at the moment, people have been testing me this month, to the point I really don’t give a toss anymore lmao. But yes same! Ooo that’s good, have you covered your days? Really hope you get your bfp this month!!🤞🏼

RobinRose · 29/07/2020 14:41

@Leobaby I have been having trouble posting for some reason, keeps coming up with an error message and won't let me post?! Tried changing my name and that seemed to work. Changed it back now! Im allergic to hazelnut! Haven't always been. Oh no i am sorry that is really rubbish! Are you okay? I know what you mean, I think i am far too intune with my body now 🤣 had a migraine Monday and this morning so I am assuming I have ovulated or am about to!

Leobaby · 29/07/2020 14:20

Leobaby · 29/07/2020 00:05

@RobinRose fingers crossed again for you this month!! You need that bfp!!
Haha yes, I have a pack of buenos as they’re my fav!😂have had very light cramps this evening. I expect af tomorrow! X

RobinRose · 28/07/2020 20:58

Hey all, I am all good! Not doing very well at dtd every other day but managing every 3rd day which I guess isn't too bad!

@Leobaby see, chocolate fixes everything (anyone who says otherwise is a liar!) 🤣 i find waiting for af to arrive the worse part.

@csari I hope af doesn't show for you either! Make sure you have some chcolate just in case!

@Csari yep same here my boobs aren’t as sore anymore. Big indicator I will be on within a day or so. Usually I come on the day my boobs stop hurting. Ah bless you, if it is af hopefully next month your cycle goes back to normal and can try properly again

I’m feeling okay now to be honest, I’ve had some chocolate! Planning activities for next summer has excited me too. Just waiting for af to arrive now so I can move on lol!
