Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

When do you plan on testing @Alysskea ? Not long for you to go! (Although a few days can really drag on the 2WW!)

I got another flashy smiley today. The 6th day in a row of flashers! I'm BD every other day, so DH is going to get jumped on again tomorrow. Poor soul is exhausted as it is! 😂 At least when I know ovulation has been and gone I can give him a bit of a break.

13 days until AF is due... Any ideas of things that I can do to bide my time until then? I just seem to trawl the internet looking for fertility advice that I may not already know. I feel like a bit of an expert right now!

Hey everyone :) 8DPO at the moment, second month of trying. How is everyone managing with it?

Hello all, I hope it’s ok to join! 3dpo here and trying not to loose it. This is our first cycle trying but not holding much hope as I’ve just come off BC a few weeks ago (I used opks to check for LH surge as no previous AF to go by) Having said that, I can’t stop symptom spotting 🙄. With my other child it took 2 cycles after coming off bc

Hi. Technically I'm not in the 2WW yet as I think I'm due to ovulate tomorrow. Tested twice today with my clear blue opk and flashing smiley still. I thought that I might get a static this afternoon, but not quite yet.

My period is due on the 7th. I'm hoping to wait until the 7th to test, but I get impatient, so may be a day or two earlier!

Only took 3 months for my son. This is second cycle not trying but not preventing but its pretty much trying as I've been doing opks and timing the sex lol x

Emmamoo89 · 24/12/2022 17:38

I'm 4dpo. Had chemical last month. Got a 9 month old. Will wait for missed af x

I'm away for Christmas so that'll help me to not test I hope!!
Last time I was testing from about 4dpo 🤦‍♀️

That sounds very sensible. I am the least sensible person testing daily from 7dpo because I'm just too excited to wait. Then the recurrent disappointment.

I could probably do with taking a leaf out of your book but I'm already stocked up on tests for this month so it's unlikely!

No I've not used any.
I ended up stressing myself out too much with my first so I'm trying to be a bit more laid back this time 🤣

Fingers crossed - that sound like ovulation pain! Did you use OPKs too?

I had a positive opk the day before ovulation but haven't really had any ovulation symptoms like pain this cycle so I'm hoping it actually happened

Fingers crossed for you!!

We dtd for the last 4 days but not today 🤦‍♀️ been so busy and now DH is out on his Christmas do 😩

It took 8 months with my first but I had very irregular period (only had 3 in the 8 months trying) I came off the pill on 10th of September this time and didn't get AF until 10th December this time so might not have even ovulated today but I did have a really sharp pain today so I'm hopeful that was ovulation pain as I noticed it when I ovulated before I got pregnant with DS too 🤞🏻

LAgeDeRaisin · 23/12/2022 20:07

I'm 2dpo - ovulated 1 day earlier than usual so may have got the timings slightly off with dtd. Was planning to dtd the 2 days running up to plus ovulation day but ended up with day before, day of, and day after.

This is cycle #3 trying and I'm so so desperate for a positive. I have a 1yo boy and a 2 year old girl. This will be our last.

How long did you take to conceive your first?
