The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

Hope you're ok @ladybuggoldfinch 🤞🏻. @Mariabombia when are you thinking of testing?

So I saw my father this morning for about 10 minutes and my mother said he has a bad cold and he's tested positive for COVID now 🙄 didn't tell me he was Ill or anything when I saw him so praying it doesn't get me 🙏🏻

@ladybuggoldfinch oh no!! Bloody hell. Rest up lots & keep hydrated.

Oh me too 🤣Probably wouldn't show anything if we were though would it, too early! My AF is due Thursday so going to really really really try wait until Wednesday. How about you?

Have you noticed any symptoms or trying not to symptom spot ?

@Mariabombia I'm not too bad! The worse thing is how hoarse my voice is and my throat feels raw sore.

I have one fRER at home that I am determined to not use until next week but I was so tempted today!

@ladybuggoldfinch oh no!!! Are you feeling okay??

Good to have a cycle twin. I think there was another lady on this thread same DPO but can't remember her username now

@Mariabombia yes me!!! I did a test today and it was positive ..... for covid 😫

8 DPO today !! 🙌Anyone similar DPO to me??

Yes having vaccines and having any virus can affect ovulation date, should right itself fairly quickly though and doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant as long as you have DTD in those 5days prior to Ov and within 24hours of Ov.

We only DTD 3 times in FW, it only takes one but always feel it should be more. I ovulated on Wednesday and DTD Sunday night, Tuesday morning and Wednesday night. Technically should be well covered. 2DPO today!

Got my peak today 🥳 which is 1/2 days earlier than usual so hoping that means the new vitamins and vit C is helping sort my cycle out!
DTD last night and planned to do every other day this cycle but I don't think we will get chance tomorrow as we are all with friends all day so may try again tonight just to make sure 🤞🏻

@Purpleflowers17 I ovulated really late after having the vaccine and covid and read up on it, it can cause it go either way but should settle down the next cycle. I also have read of a few women on here who still got their BFP so not all is lost!

@QueenBee22 just read back after missing couple of days i’m about to ovulate 4 days earlier after having covid vaccine last week. So it’s not just you and having researched it’s quiet common!

It appears we are all in the FW together. I posted on Tuesday I’ve had really high OPKs all week ranging from 0.72 to 1.28 last night this never happens this early in cycle. Im CD11 usually don’t ovulate until CD16. Read some threads says covid and the booster (I have had both in last 6 weeks can impact this) OH came back one day earlier so we did DTD CD9, CD10, CD11 he is away tonight so hoping ovulation is Sunday but looks like might well be tonight. So not feeling hopefully this month.

@Decaffe I feel exactly the same this morning I was really like (in my head of course) do we have too 🤣 I’ll be quiet happy for the rest tonight!

@Decaffe i feel the same way about now nearing ovulation and exhausted. Ive had flashing smileys for 5 days now I don’t know how much more I can handle. I will test PM again and pray finally its a static smiley. But as lakejupiter suggests sperm live for a while so i am relying on this this month. I know when I got pregnant last summer, i had sex well before ovulation and it worked so all is not lost.

Hi @Decaffe I think sperm can live up to five days and it's good that sperm are ready to meet egg when you ovulate so I think sex pre-ovulation makes sense. But I also think if you DTD later today there's no reason you wouldn't catch the egg🤞🏻 from what I've read it is viable for about 24 hours after it's released. Do you def know today is ovulation day?

Hi all,

I'm also in my ferile week. Getting flashy smileys now for 2 days. We are being more chilled this month partly because work has been a lot lately (I work in public health). We shall see how it goes. I'm due to ovulate Monday I think

Reason being… we have been DTD every other day since CD7. So, CD7, 9, 11,13.

I eventually find out I’m ovulating on CD15. But we were so tired we weren’t able to DTD on CD14.

Today (after midnight so CD15) is ovulation day, likelihood is that by the time we get round to DTD today it will be too late.

So, to summarise: lots of sex but we missed the most fertile day. Just makes me feel like it’s all been a waste of time? (From a fertilisation point of view obviously…!)

Something I have been pondering this evening… is there any point (from a purely fertilisation point of view) to sex that is 2, 3, 4, 5 days before ovulation? Given that all the charts point to the most fertile day being the one immediately before the ovulation day, is all the early sex purely (from a fertilisation point of view) in case we ovulate sooner than we were expecting? 🤔

Hey 👋 everyone, sorry I haven't been on this thread much! I'm sure no one noticed but I've been feeling bad about it!
So much to catch up on so once I've put the kids to bed I'm going to read it all :)

I'm in my ovulation week atm, according to flo I'm due to ovulate tomorrow.
I spoke to the Dr today who has booked me in for blood tests to check my thyroid/ progesterone and other hormones, hopefully I'll get an answer to my short luteal phase.

This month I'm just feeling very relaxed, I don't think it's going to happen for me so I'm a bit 'meh' about it! Just enjoying the sex lol.
Should start spotting on the 5th or 6th so I'll know I'm out quite early on.

Thank you @Decaffe I hope so 🤞🏻 I had a peak on opk on the Tuesday but a peak on the clearblue ( static smiley ) on the Monday so just worried I ovulated a day later than I thought, but it's all I could do so 🤞🏻🌈

@Curlywurly3 I guess you don’t know exactly when yesterday you ovulated. Eggs can sit for 24hours… wouldn’t do any harm. We are done for this cycle, I’m 1DPO today and at work so won’t be D2D tonight.

Also feel the same @Curlywurly3 I ovulated Monday and DTD last Thursday, last Saturday and Monday and couldn't manage anything else as DP away so makes me feel I didn't do it enough 😞

Hi all, can I please be added? 12DPO but BFN for now so I think I'm out for January.
Feb will be 4th month TTC!

[quote Curlywurly3]@Decaffe ah yay!! You must feel very relieved!

I’m 1DPO now, we haven’t DTD today and I’m really feeling like we should have done to cover all bases. I know that’s going to be in the back of my mind for the next two weeks now! Annoying![/quote]
Could you go for it this evening? I’m in a similar dilemma now….

We’ve been doing every other day (as per @Purple29’s consultant’s recommendation ) so we did last night and we are due to do tomorrow (ovulation day). But now I’m thinking… should we switch to the SMEP method? In which case, doing it tonight and tomorrow?!

Decisions decisions!! 😂

@Decaffe oh that is interesting. If it's not our month then I'll definitely be adding it in next cycle.
@Sunrise321 thank you for the recommendation ☺️
