August might be pact might be madness part 2

I didn't this month in the hope it might make him more comfortable but he guessed last night which is when he came out with the balls don't work line.

Aww @claireb7rg how awful for him, and you too 😢 Do you tell him when you’re in your fertile window?

Yes we did but then last night he wouldnt as 'he doesn't see the point as his balls don't work' 😢

I keep trying to tell him they do, they just need help and it only takes one but it's like he's given up 😢😢

@claireb7rg oh no! Did you manage to DTD the other night after filling OH with wine? 😂

@whatever1980 I'm assuming it just means a higher level of LH - if you're getting a peak then you should be ovulating (although only BBT can confirm this), I don't think it matters what the "mark" is - I got 2.41 last month but only 1.65 this month x

Can I ask please -

Some get a peak on Premom of 1.2 or 1.8 or higher

What does the higher peak number indicate please?

I got a peak last month of 1.2 last month (didn't get a peak on my cbfm last month) so does that mean the peak isn't strong and unlikely to get pregnant please?

Ffs another peak opk today, looks like I've still not ovulated yet.

Oh no @stickytoffeepud1991! ☹️ You might still catch it if you try again tomorrow?

@stickytoffeepud1991 does he know you're due to ovulate? Men are annoying aren't they!

@whambam89 DH is now saying he doesn’t feel well and has a bad stomach so probably out for tonight. He did this last month around this time I’m sure he knows which is highly frustrating 😣

@stickytoffeepud1991 I think you'll be covered if you do tonight and Tuesday!

@whambam89 sorry took so long to reply had to wait for the test to bloody develop 😂
So this is what it says on pre mom xx
I’ve attached a few of my sticks ha.
I’m going to aim for tonight and then Tuesday maybe but that’s about as good as it will get as I’m on a 13 hour shift tomorrow! Xxxx

@stickytoffeepud1991 what's the reading on your cheapy opk today? I'd be inclined to go by that! My peak reading this month was 1.65 on premom but last month it was 2.41 (although I wasn't actually going to test so could technically have got higher than the 1.65 the day before this month if I'd tested)

@stickytoffeepud1991 I was in the same situation this month! Got my peak a day earlier than expecting and hadn't had chance to DTD that week before I got it so didn't know whether to DTD the day of the peak or the day after.. ended up doing the day of the peak and the day after predicted ovulation but I'm guessing it's probably not going to be enough... It's a tough decision to make!

So I’ve been getting loads of ewcm this week app says not due to ovulate until next fri. Been testing every day since my period ended got a really good strong opk last night! Took a clear blue one this morn and got a static smiley!! So going by that my peak should be either tonight or tomorrow 😆 I’m glad I tested because if I just went off my app I probably would of missed my ovulation.
Dtd fridsy but DH couldn’t finish ☹️ So not sure whether to try again tonight or tomorrow? Xx

@MrsB2019x back when we were TTC DD1 and I wasn't as much of a crazy person we had a wedding the Saturday before AF was due on the Tuesday.... It didn't even cross my mind to test (maybe stupid of me), anyway.. I tested on the Tuesday and got a really strong positive, if I'd tested on the Saturday I'm almost certain I'd have got a good line. I drank a couple of bottles of wine and did a lot of shots 🤦🏻‍♀️ DD was fine and I had a pretty straight forward pregnancy. Saying that though, I'd probably test if I was in the same position this time, or maybe be a bit more sensible with the amount I'm drinking 😂

Fingers crossed @claireb7rg! Sounds like you haven’t missed the boat yet ☺️

I’m torn. We have friends round next Saturday for drinks, I am due AF the Monday after next. Do I test on the Saturday just in case? But I also really don’t want to start testing early this month. 🤯 I’ve been doing good with the relaxed approach so I don’t want to ruin it by testing early but would also feel terrible for drinking if pregnant.

@claireb7rg good luck!!

He's on his 2nd glass of wine, 🤞🤞 for tonight 😉

@claireb7rg fingers crossed, doesn't sound like you've missed ovulation yet! Hopefully that gives you tonight and tomorrow to give it a shot 🤞

Not yet, not really had chance, he was asleep almost as soon as I got into bed last night. He was up early ish (for a Saturday) this morning as he's had to go into work.

Got a blazing peak on opk this morning so maybe there is still a chance.

Oh @claireb7rg that must be so difficult 😔 Maybe he is too frightened of the disappointment of trying again, but you can’t live in a sexless marriage either. I’m so sorry. Have you tried speaking to him? x

@claireb7rg sorry to hear he's not "cooperating"! Have you spoken to him about it?

I think we're done ttc 😢 I'm due to ovulate today and partner doesn't seem bothered. We dtd on Tuesday and my efforts to try again have been ignored.

Not sure now what the point of waiting for fertility clinic is 😢

@Sansa87 so glad baby is ok!
