Keep DTD ladies! Grin

We’ve only done it twice this month! But we did it on two smiley days so who knows.

TWW here we come

I would definitely do it tomorrow. While pretty accurate, there’s nothing to say you won’t ovulate a bit later. That’s part of the premise of the SMeP. I usually stop DTD on second day of peak but this month going for a day or two after as well to make sure I’m covered.

On day 5 of flashing smileys though here 😩

@Coastaldreamer I’m on cd18 and day 10 of flashing smileys and low opk’s 😩. Guessing it was too much to ask that it would all be normal after two miscarriages in a row. Yay you got your peak yest. I’d also say go for tonight just to make sure you are covered.
@Miracle22 hope af hasn’t come

excitedemmi · 12/02/2022 06:43

@Miracle22 Hope you're still AF-less.

@Coastaldreamer could DTD again just in case but also think you're pretty covered.

MrsGrealish · 11/02/2022 21:47

@Coastaldreamer I would go again tomorrow in case ovulation a little later but either way I think you're good.

4dpo here not much happening

Coastaldreamer · 11/02/2022 20:18

@Chanel05 wow that's some stamina!!

@Bubblesandballoons how're you getting on?

@Miracle22 hope Af not here !

Need some help! So I got my peak today at around 4pm when I tested on the cheapies but and we DTD this morning. Do you think we need to DTD again tonight or tomorrow morning would be enough?

Thankssss all x

Cheekypeach · 11/02/2022 19:23

Part of the reason I’m using the ovulation sticks is so there’s only pressure to DTF for a couple of days, then back to our usual once a week 😂 it worked last time so fingers crossed it will again! I find timed sex to be quite stressful Confused

Charl881 · 11/02/2022 18:11

@Chanel05 wow go you! At least during the TWW you can be sure you did it as much as you could 😂

It’s a struggle to bring myself to DTD every other day at the mo with a toddler who doesn’t sleep. Expecting my peak at the weekend at some point.

smiles39 · 11/02/2022 17:48

@Chanel05 😂 my OH said we should try to DTD 4 times a day, we are both teachers, we have his kids full-time and the reality is we are just about managing every other day. Good luck!

Miracle22 · 11/02/2022 08:20

@Chanel05

Anyone else ovulating today?

Got my peak yesterday and temp drop today. Managed to dtd yesterday morning, night and this morning. Going for tonight too 😂.

Ooo, seems promising. It’s gonna be your cycle. ✨
Miracle22 · 11/02/2022 08:19

[quote Charl881]@Miracle22 no line sorry, still early though x[/quote]
Well, I am supposed to get my af today so it’s just waiting game now. Thank you, anyway.

Cheekypeach · 11/02/2022 08:07

@Chanel05 yes but not ttc until next cycle - but you go girl, that’s quite impressive 😂 think once a day will be our max haha!

Peonies94 · 11/02/2022 07:10

Official CD1 for me today! @Chanel05 wow! Fair play! Good luck!

@Cheekypeach

Sorry Miracle I can’t see anything Sad what cycle day are you?
CD23 but I have a 24 day cycle. Thank you, though. Awaiting AF now so that I can start TTCing a Nov baby.

Miracle22 · 10/02/2022 20:34

So, 99.99% got a bfn today. Would you guys still check if you see a line though?

[quote Bundaberg84]@Miracle22 I think it depends a bit on how regular your cycles are. If they are regular, you just use it to kind of confirm the ovulation date if that makes sense.
But if they aren't that regular, and for example if you follow the SMEP method, it makes sense to have a longer fertility window to "work with".[/quote]
Thank you for clarifying @Bundaberg84

Charl881 · 10/02/2022 20:16

Another flashing smiley for me today, three in a row now. Usually ovulate on day 16/17 and currently day 13 so wondering if I will ovulate earlier this month. Only second time of using the four day CB ones but it’s defo convincing me to DTD more often which can only be a good thing right 😂

Cheekypeach · 10/02/2022 18:48

[quote Bundaberg84]@Cheekypeach use the opk sticks like a pregnancy test, take a picture of the test within the time frame and ignore it once dried - they dry very dark.[/quote]
Second photo was taken 15 minutes or so after it was dipped, the first one maybe a minute later as still flooded with pee 😂

Peonies94 · 10/02/2022 18:33

AF is getting ready to show her head :( so I’m here to join! Im not CD1 yet but when I know I’ll add myself to the list etc! Good luck to everyone ☺️☺️

My ovulation last month was CD12 with a 27 day cycle. It’s normally 25 days though so I think that’s why I’ve missed mine this month because I’m normally a 25 day and only took OPK on CD12 🤦🏼‍♀️ I wasn’t going to test for first few months of trying but I caved. Now I’m between worrying I haven’t ovulated this month and convincing myself I’ve tested too late.
