Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW

342 replies

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?

I'm ok, CD25 now so AF could arrive at any moment. My boob soreness has vanished overnight so I'm thinking im out this month too as that normally happens a few days before AF. Plus I just really don't feel pregnant.

I'm sorry you are feeling rubbish, hormones are such a pain :( is there anything you can do to feel a bit better?

Morning! @Csari I’m okay. Still down, feeling insecure & paranoid, thinking it’s the hormones messing with me unfortunately. Temp drop this morning so would be about right as af is due tomorrow. How are you?

Haha @RobinRose I know! I’m throwing as much luck as I can your way! 😂 yes you’re both right! @Csari but I don’t have any chocolate 😭 I really would love some right now. My partners cake was chocolate and it was amazing I wanted to eat it all🤤 my temp is very high today upon waking. 2 days before af! I had a dip at 10dpo I’m 13 today. Bfn on a cheapie but it’s 25MIU so maybe way too high. The faint line I had last week was deffo a false lmao! X

@Leobaby sorry to hear that you are feeling down :( I second @RobinRose, chocolate and a movie always makes things a little better.

RobinRose · 27/07/2020 14:28

@Leobaby I am on CD10, Thank you, I think I need more than luck but I will grab as much luck as I can😂. Sorry your feeling down today, have a pamper sesh, stick a movie on and eat chocolate! x

@RobinRose have you, what CD are you now? Good luck for this month my love. And thank you, feeling very emotional today so thinking af might arrive on time. Strange my bbt was the highest it’s been in the am today though. Still think I’m out. X

@SK2970 glad you had a nicd holiday! You could try polo's for your nausea? Just dont eat too many! Glad your scsn went ok 😊I have deleted all my apps (again) and trying not to calculate when af will be due!

🤞 for you @Leobaby!!

Hope everyone has a lovely week x

@Csari ah okay if the timing of dpo is right then hopefully the spotting is a good sign! Ah I see that’s a mess. Well seeing as your breasts are sore there must be something going on! So either af will come at normal time for you or it’ll be a bfp! Fingers crossed for you.

And yes, I’m really not sure because this month has been very relaxed not much going on apart from very sore boobs. Not even my normal mood swings I get a week before. So strange. But yes 3 more days and we shall see🤔

OP posts:
Csari · 26/07/2020 19:19

@Leobaby I think I'm either 8 or 9 dpo but not really 100% sure and same with when AF is due, ive read that it could even be 6 weeks in the first cycle after a chemical. I have no idea of when I'd even test or if I actually ovulated lol.

I totally get the waiting till AF is due, fingers crossed for you and hopefully the days go quickly until then. I hate all the waiting.

@Csari do you reckon? I didn’t look into it like that. And no I haven’t, I thought I’d wait until af is due. It’s only a few days now!

Ahh I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that it’s a good sign!!how many dpo are you now? When is your af due?

OP posts:
Csari · 26/07/2020 16:37

Aw @Leobaby I still think you're in with a really good chance, especially going off alcohol! Have you tested again since?

I have had a spot of blood tinged CM today and some cramping and spre boobs. Trying not to read too much into it as its been a weird cycle anyway and could just be AF coming early

@SK2970 aww that’s so lovely! How was your scan? Are you on any anti sickness meds? Keeping yourself hydrated lol? Aw it sounds so lovely I wish I was able to go and do that!
But I’m okay thank you. Had a nice weekend celebrating my partners birthday. Cocktails was horrible, I couldn’t drink them! They made me feel sick. So stuck to my flavoured water and Pepsi 😂 wasn’t too bothered to be honest as I’m not a big drinker. Still not due till Wednesday but really think I’m out this month. So I’m gonna prepare myself for the disappointment!

SK2970 · 26/07/2020 09:29

@Csari we stayed a few miles inland from St Michaels Mount!  it was so nice, we had a little one-bed cottage which was cute! Had a day in Padstow crabbing with some family that were also coincidently down there! Dreading going back to work tomorrow!!
The scan went well, all good and measuring a couple of days ahead.

Hope everyone is ok! Did you enjoy cocktails @Leobaby?

Csari · 25/07/2020 10:37

Ooh @SK2970 I hope you had a lovely time, where did you stay? I always love hearing about when people visit Cornwall lol I hope everyone was friendly.
Hope your early scan goes well!

How is everyone else feeling today?

SK2970 · 25/07/2020 09:52

Thanks ladies!! We went to Cornwall for a week and the weather was lush 
My nausea is pretty bad and dominated the whole holiday but we still managed to do everything we wanted, just at a slower pace! I don't want anything to eat or drink, yet feel even worse when hungry so can't win!! I'm eating for the sake of it and it's miserable!! I hope it passes quickly!! Going for early scan today which isn't helping my anxiety and nausea ha!
My fingers are crossed for you both! @RobinRose your journey really can't have been easy, but keep the faith that it will happen!!!
@Leobaby I'm still hopeful for you! Things always happen when not expecting! Enjoy the cocktails for me if you do though!! Wanted nothing but a nice cold cider when I was away!!

Hey @SK2970 oh how lovely! How was it? Did you go anywhere nice? I’m jealous! And no lmao it didn’t 😂I will never be doing that again lol. Yes possibly!
I’m 10dpo think I’ve had another bbt dip but I’m not sure if I’m doing it all right and if it’s accurate to be honest lol. Feel nauseous today but I’m not looking into it. I really feel like I’m out this month! Ah well cocktails tomorrow it is 🥂🍸

RobinRose · 24/07/2020 10:56

@SK2970 Welcome back! Did you have a nice holiday? I am doing ok thank you , should be ovulating some time next week so just dtd every other day (trying to anyway) for as long as we can really! I do not want to hit the 12 month mark 😫 . How are things with you? How's the nausea?

SK2970 · 24/07/2020 08:46

Hi Ladies! Sorry been awol, I have been on holiday (weird saying that!). Hope your all ok!!
@Leobaby that joke didn't go well for you :( interesting that you are starving, it could be something!!
@Csari sounds like you have every chance at pinpointing ov! Your so brave trying again so soon!! :)
How are you doing @RobinRose?
Welcome newbies! Fingers crossed for BFPs for you all so can welcome you to the nausea club!!

rosiejgee · 23/07/2020 13:12

@Csari sorry to hear you had a loss 😔 always so disheartening but glad your still trying!! 🤞🤞 this is my second cycle TTC but not hopeful ive had nothing apart from sore boobs! I think if I get nothing this month I might trying ovulation strips to check my app is accurate!

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 23:43

@Csari ooo passion fruit!! I’d love some of that right now! Well it could also be a good sign? Ah I’m so hoping you get another bfp this month and it sticks for you. And thank you, I suppose I do have a good change you’re not wrong💕

OP posts:
Csari · 22/07/2020 23:39

@rosiejgee I've think this is my 7th cycle TTC. Last month was the first that I had times DTD around ovulation and turns out I ovulated about CD11, I was DTD around CD14 and missing the mark obviously lol. I got a BFP last month which ended in an early loss at around 5 weeks but trying again this month and currently about 5 Dpo I think (I ran out of tests as I ovulated really late for me). How about you?

@Leobaby its not something I normally get tbh. I had it last month a bit too and obviously was pregnant but it could be a coincidence. I've been eating loads of passion fruit and its quite acidic so probably that or work stress lol.

I'll still be keeping my fingers crossed, you have a really good chance this month with timing and everything :)

@Csari I’m not sure. It might’ve just been a fluke tbh. I’m okay, very sore boobs & backache. Tired and I’m still starving all the time but I’m use to the feeling now lol. I’ve had a lot of cm since I’ve ov’d but I’m still 8dpo so could dry up at some point.
Is heartburn a positive sign for you? Is it something you normally experience?

OP posts:
Csari · 22/07/2020 19:51

@Leobaby how frustrating! It still sounds really positive though, how are you feeling now?

I'm about 4/5 dpo and nothing except heartburn for me.
