@PeanuttyButter yeah - when I conceived we had literally only DTD once on the day of OV (on my birthday!! 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️) so I totally know…. But you just obsess about doing it as much as possible don’t you 🙄 I genuinely think we did it too much last cycle - holiday friskiness 🤣🤣 I don’t think OH’s little guys had time to regen 🙈🙈
I managed to squeeze today in though 👍🏼

@Annny27 gonna LH test in a bit so we’ll see… but I think I’ve probably just OV’d ….
Haha! That is seriously regimented timing!! 🤣🤣 good luck!!! 🤪

@apwilso 😵‍💫😵‍💫 that all sounds super confusing!! Bless you!! I hate things going out of whack!! Like to know where I am at all times!! 🙈

@SunnySideUp2020 cramping and backache definitely not sobering to worry about lovely ❤️ But I totally get that even sneezing can get you worried with the journeys that we’ve all had 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hope you can find ways to relax and enjoy it ❤️❤️

So predicted 1DPO for me but I think that’s probably a day late….. LH testy time then woohoo the TWW 😫😫

apwilso · 28/01/2022 13:19

@SunnySideUp2020 oh are you! That's strange. I might do just to make sure😓 so confusing isn't it. How you feeling?

@Annny27 pictures didn't pick up very well but my Asda ones there was a light pink lime but I think there was something wrong on them and the FRER were showing a very faint line but that was more than likely an indent. Do ovulation test and it's negative as well my body is playing tricks!

It's well too early for me to get EWCM as my cycles around around 31 days with conceive plus! So confusing. Weirdest cycle ever!!!!!

Annny27 · 28/01/2022 13:08

Afternoon ladies:)

I am cd9, haven't dtd yet.... going to dtd tonight and then Sunday night. (cd11) ...having to really plan it this month as I am having a smear on Tuesday 9am which is cd13 and ovulation time so basically trying to time it so I dtd about 36 hours before that (Sunday night) and then can dtd right after when I get home (sexy 🤣🤣). As nhs says no sex for 24- 48 hours before it.

@sunnysideup2020 congratulations lovely 💗💗💗 keep us updated with how things progress - cramping is super normal and breastfeeding won't affect it atall although some have said their babies went off the milk and weaned themselves when they were pregnant so that might happen!

@babyghirl have all the pups gone now then?

@sweetbabydust1989 hope all is well with you and bean! And you too @kiwi17

@apwilso I couldn't see any line lovely so probably just ovulating atm!

@peanuttybutter yep the times we conceived, first time only dtd 3 times in fertile window and 2nd time was only twice in my whole cycle!

@kelb79 have you ovulated now then?

OP posts:
SunnySideUp2020 · 28/01/2022 12:37

@apwilso also having ewcm right now...
Weird.
Maybe test again?

PeanuttyButter · 28/01/2022 11:57

@Kelb79 that's frustrating isn't it. It only takes once though remember that! Could all be perfect. My second BFP happened on a month that we didn't DTD much. Got my peak on the Sunday, DTD that day. Didn't on the Monday and I had a USS Tuesday to say I had a follicle that would be released in the next 24h DH didn't want to DTD again but it didn't matter.

apwilso · 28/01/2022 10:10

@Kelb79 I didn't FRER and it had lines but think it's was indent so saying I'm out! I woke up this morning with a good amount of ECWM which has thrown me off as my fertility monitor said low and I'm only on day 11 which is early for me. I've come off conceive plus as I think it has messed up my cycle since I've been on them aka delaying them nearly 5 days which I'm not irregular and I've not seen that discharge since I went on it!

@Kelb79 I hate when OV delays when it's all planned out!

How's everyone else doing?

Kelb79 · 28/01/2022 09:40

Oooooooo good luck @SunnySideUp2020 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Keep us up to date! ❤️❤️❤️

@apwilso any update on your lines?? 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Not sure we’re gonna have the best chance this month… I managed to sneak that BD on first fertile day but in the morning so even less chance and I think OV might be a day later than predicted this cycle …. I gave OH a kick into gear the night before last but he was up late, usually wakes me when he’s got “work to do” but didn’t 🙄 I pinned him down (literally 🤣) yesterday morning and he gave it a go late last night but couldn’t quite see it through 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️ He’s sleeping late this morning and I’m up to teach yoga so I might try to pin him down again when I get back but I think my peak might have been yesterday so we haven’t got much in the bag 🤷🏼‍♀️

Least the TWW won’t be so obsessive!! 🤣🤣

Where are you all at ladies??

PeanuttyButter · 28/01/2022 09:01

There is definitely something there for sure! I wouldn't worry too much about the cramping so early on, I always had awful cramps for the first few weeks. Try and be positive, I know it's difficult
Please keep up updated.

SunnySideUp2020 · 28/01/2022 08:57

It s just all this back ache and cramping 😞 it definitely wasnt like this with ny DD....
Told DH this morning and he said well definitely positive tests but also doesnt wanna get excited in case it doesnt progress.
He also thinks the very frequent breastfeeding will probably make it fail :(

SunnySideUp2020 · 28/01/2022 08:55

Thank you @apwilso

Yes a little

@SunnySideUp2020 that's exciting! Are they showing on camera? Fingers crossed x

apwilso · 28/01/2022 07:13

@SunnySideUp2020 sending you love and best wishes. Keep us all updated. Fingers crossed for you x

SunnySideUp2020 · 28/01/2022 06:03

Hi ladies,

I am having faint positives on hpt since yesterday. Tbh it is quite shocking given the situation. In a good way. Just dont wanna get my hopes up because i have a lot of cramping and periods pains so not sure if this is a chemical or not.
Will keep posted.

apwilso · 26/01/2022 22:41

@Kelb79 faint line last night but possibles flooded test done FRER and I know there notorious for indents so truthfully I think I'm out! Even so the lines would be far too faint at this point if I was I think!

Attached picture so extremely faint probably can't see it!

Ahhahaha he very put the work in!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 26/01/2022 22:09

@Kelb79 hello hun how was the holiday?? I am ok 6 and half weeks now but worrying as I am having loads of cramps trying to think positive but can't do hard xx

Kelb79 · 26/01/2022 21:12

@PeanuttyButter don’t lose Hope lovely ❤️❤️ God I know how hard it is to follow that advise but we’ve gotta keep battling on 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Defo worth getting another sneaky BD in tomorrow if you can or even skip tomorrow and go for the day after - that’s one of the bits of advice in The Egg Meets The Sperm 👍🏼👍🏼
We had a good holiday thank you 🙏🏼 Despite the couple of blips it was definitely what we needed! I was starting to get really down after the MC in September, I just needed a little reset. It’s definitely helped. I would have been 6 months today and I’m sad but not quite in the headspace I was.
Trying to be hopeful! There’s still plenty of time for that 2022 miracle 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What’s your full story lovely? Where are you at now? xX

PeanuttyButter · 26/01/2022 20:50

@Kelb79 hope you enjoyed your holiday in all. Nice timing skipping the wait for fertile week to start. Pretty sure I've ovulated today as got some pain and my peak has vanished so fingers crossed it was today. Managed to dtd tonight so fingers crossed. Is it worth doing it tomorrow you think?
My seduction technique is shocking. We've been together almost 20 years so he knows all my tricks and can't be fooled. Just had to try and keep things sexy at random times to throw him off the scent. In the end though he knows.

I just keep thinking that time is running out for a 2022 baby even, and here's me thinking that I was going to have an early 2021 baby. Gonna be celebrating friends baby's first birthday before I'm even pregnant again

Kelb79 · 26/01/2022 20:30

@PeanuttyButter mine has serious issues with DTD on command too, he had all these romantic hopes of a beautiful natural conception and hates the science 🙄 how are your seduction techniques??!! 🤣 I go for the morning seduction while he’s basically still asleep…. He pretty much lies back and thinks of England but I can deal with that coz it gets the job done 🤣🤣🤣

@apwilso what’s happening chick?? Any more bleeding? Any more lines??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Sweetbabydust1989 how are you and that bean doing?? ❤️❤️

Where’s everyone at? I lost track in my travels home!
Predicted fertile window (which I’ve gotta say, Premom almost always gets bang on!) started on Saturday….. I managed to get a sneaky BD in on Saturday morning but then we flew home Saturday night, got in late and stayed in London before getting the train home on Sunday. We’ve both been exhausted and then sick!! And we’ve been super ratty with each other 🤣🤣 I almost forgot I was due to OV until I got slammed with a load of CM! 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️
Tested and got a high, peak tomorrow I’d reckon….. so OH has gone for a drink under strict instructions that he’s got work to do tonight….. and tomorrow…. And the day after 🤣🤣 he’s had his break!! 🤣

PeanuttyButter · 25/01/2022 22:12

@Annny27 I don't think DH would tbh. He already finds DTD on command (so to speak) difficult and this would be right out of the norm.

Annny27 · 25/01/2022 20:48

@peanuttybutter can you do it tomorrow morning?

OP posts:
PeanuttyButter · 25/01/2022 15:31

This is mine from 15.20 this afternoon. 200% according to the app which is higher than the 'peak, this morning

So. When do I dtd next? We did it last night. Do I wait til tomorrow evening or do it tonight? If I do it tonight I can't tomorrow more than likely. Ideal compromise would be tomorrow afternoon but we are both at work til 5

SunnySideUp2020 · 25/01/2022 13:26

I read somewhere that it is best to do opk in the afternoon as the surge tends to happen in the morning so it will be in your mid afternoon urine for sure.
Defo don't use FMU!

PeanuttyButter · 25/01/2022 12:35

@Annny27 I've noticed that I can get a false peak in the morning (second urine) if my urine is concentrated, but then faint later in the day. On days where i think it's my actual peak though the levels are high even when my urine is dilute. Its those that I don't trust.
My issue is now that we DTD last night..donee do it tonight or wait til tomorrow. DH won't do all 3, sadly we started early this month because we were actually in the mood and then it came round to fertile week straight away. I'm tempted to say leave it til tomorrow but of course always panic that I've missed the chance.

Annny27 · 25/01/2022 11:50

@PeanuttyButter my peaks last between 1 - 3 days so I think you will either be ovulating today or tomorrow :) try make sure you test when your urine is concentrated otherwise it might give a false high or low reading when actually it is peak :D
