My 2 week wait starts tomorrow. I use the clue app which says my ovulation day is today so we'll DTD today and tomorrow and have been doing it everyday since Friday.

This is our 6 cycle trying for baby number 2 our little boy just turned 1. We had 2 miscarriages before my son was born and had a chemical pregnancy in May just gone.

I'd love some company along the way. Sending baby dust to everyone

Hi all
@Rainbowbaby13 I am in around the same as yourself.

I have taken a backseat this cycle as I've had a rough time, with hitting the year mark of our loss I had to stop and look after myself. The other half is awaiting for an appointment to get his sperm analysis done, god knows where we go from there 🥴

This ttc is really hard going ❤️‍🩹 xx

Sent that before I'd finished 😂 that's just how my mornings going 🙄

Af is due 9th/10th

We didn't DTD as much as we should have this month in fact I didn't really think about it at all but 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi all hope you're well

I'm either 6 or 8 dpo haven't really noticed any symptoms although I have had a break out of spots feel like a teenager again 😂

I still have some cheap tests but think I'll wait until the end of the week to tests

@anotherscroller thanks for the reply!

Exciting we're on the same schedule 😃 we DTD Thursday night, fell asleep Fri which is a bit annoying but we went for drinks after work and maybe a glass of wine too many - ooops 😂 🙈

but DTD this morning and will again later tonight and Sunday, probs Monday too.

anotherscroller · 29/07/2022 06:37

@Suemay803 according to my app ovulation is 24-48 hrs after a positive test. So is you had one at 6 pm yesterday you should dtd tonight and tomorrow night (and yesterday ideally?)
or in the morning, apparently sperm quality is higher in the morning?
then if you have another positive today then also make sure to dtd on Sunday. Then I think you’re covered!
I’m on exactly the same schedule as you so let’s keep in touch.
only thing I’m missing is EWCM. There is so much come around it’s hard to detect 😂 but doesn’t feel like egg whites yet. You?

Suemay803 · 28/07/2022 20:24

Hi ladies 😘 so here we go again...

This week - DTD Tues, Wed, positive OPK today at 6pm, obvs going to BD tonight and the next 3 at least....

(last month though I had a positive OPK two days running)

Out of interest - How many days after a positive ovulation do you think you should make sure to DTD?

@Rainbowbaby13 want to hold out until I'm actually late (if that even happens) but anyone's guess really 😂

@Nichelette that all sounds positive how long do you think you'll be able to hold out for 😂 x

@Rainbowbaby13 I think you're still in with a shot with those dates! I'm CD24 and desperately trying to stay away from the 2 ultra early clearblues left over from DS 😅. My gut has said no all month but I've got major lower backache, discomfort in uterus area and heartburn (not normal for me, had terrible reflux during pregnancy though). Wish PMS and pregnancy symptoms weren't so similar!

I don't think this is our month I've been so stressed/tired going back to work after my 15 months maternity we've hardly DTD at all. We DTD Friday Saturday and Monday 1 of my apps says my ovulation day was Monday and 1 says yesterday so who knows

I'm keeping all my fingers crossed for you all let's hope for some bfp

Mum2be86 · 27/07/2022 20:18

Oh and just to add I had a positive ovulation test this morning On a cheapie but negative with clear blue digital (empty circle) this evening so assuming my chances are over with now?

Mum2be86 · 27/07/2022 20:15

Well back on the TWW but not hopeful we DTD on the 25th (when I got a static smiley) but nothing since we also DDT on the 22nd but don’t think it will be enough 😢

Mum2be86 · 25/07/2022 16:47

@Rainbowbaby13 well that soon changed went from flashing smiley this morning to a static smiley this evening, guessing this could be it x

@Mum2be86 after my mc I ovulated much earlier than I thought I would but I've also heard people saying it was much later after a mc (sorry not helpful)

OP posts:
Mum2be86 · 23/07/2022 13:48

I’ve absolutely no idea what’s going on, had my first period after miscarriage but only lasted 5 days usually around 7, should be ovulating around now but tests all saying no (including clear blue ones empty circle) not sure what’s happening and keep thinking I could have ovulated super early and missed it 😢 although I do currently have lots of clear CM sorry if to much information

Sawa75 · 22/07/2022 17:02

Sorry head cold

Sawa75 · 22/07/2022 17:02

I'm on cd 14, have had signs of fertile week etc but have a Headcorn today headache aches and pains. Working etc as normal. What's the chance it will throw everything off? Feel like there's always something

Rainbowbaby13 · 22/07/2022 09:18

And so it begins my fertile week which is actually 10 days just to make sure we're covered 😂 not that I'm complaining 😊 🐰

Hope you are all well

I'm hoping and praying for a bfp. Ds has been longing for another baby since we lost baby ds and I'd love to give him his wish. My oh winds me up about being pregnant but he said to me last night he is genuinely starting to think I am that and dpup is even more cuddly than usual

Rainbowbaby13 · 19/07/2022 16:56

@ArrrMeHearties good luck I hope you get your bfp. I have heard stories of people not testing positive until really late and others that had to have a blood test to confirm although that is rare 🤞🏼🤞🏼

OP posts:
ArrrMeHearties · 19/07/2022 15:53

I'm now 5 days late and still no sign, nipples are getting darker but tests are still negative. I haven't been 5 days late since my first period after my tfmr. When I found out I was pregnant I'd not long had my covid jag and ended up being 12 days late before I tested

mamazac · 19/07/2022 09:14

@Rainbowbaby13 yeah it's so strange! I tested the day I came on and complete negative so hard to get my head around!

Rainbowbaby13 · 19/07/2022 09:04

@mamazac oh that sounds so frustrating for you. Maybe it was a chemical that's why the line is so faint 🤷🏻‍♀️.

My period was weird this month too just really light only lasted 3 days I barely had to use anything
