June 2023 TTC Thread

Summer and ttc problems. I’m also 4 days away from ttc according to the premom app. Dtd but now it’s not even 5am, the birds are tweeting and it’s light. No chance of having another hour of sleep. Fertile week is exhausting haha.

@SouthSpringMoon thank you hope you are well , my app says ovulation is 4 days away OH is loving all the planning and timing 😅 so im letting him at it, dtd every 2nd day 🙊 so hopefully we will get the timing right this cycle keep in touch and good luck 😁

I’ve been quiet on here for a while now but I’m pretty sure I ovulated today so my tww is starting now. This cycle is looking very good so far. I’ve had more than usual of ewcm and we managed to dtd less than 24h prior to ovulation.

@Pittiemama hope AF is not too tough on you, let’s keep in touch for next cycle!
@123456789sw may AF be gentle with you too :) and then let’s count again together ! For me AF is due sometimes between Wednesday and Friday…
@BB2023 crossing finger for you, you’ve been diligent at DTD so hopes are high!

AF came bring on TCC July!!! Good luck!

@Kat7542 I should think you're absolutely fine. If it's that you can't manage more sex then don't!

It won't affect sperm that much. If having more sex causes you stress then your chances are better doing what you're doing.

@Silverpixieflorence yes that's what I mean!! We do it only during fertile days... does that impact sperm quality? Or am i getting confused here? (Sorry not trying to be really stupid!)

@Kat7542 have you got an app like flo to track your most fertile days? I use flo and premom to see when I'm ovulating and then do it every other day on the most fertile days. Then me and DH hardly even touch for the other days in the month 😂

We've not had sex for about 2-3 weeks now (busy life with a toddler then period came). Does that make us less likely to conceive this cycle, even if we have sex every other day or every day from CD7?

@Kat7542 I think that every other day throughout the month is good as it takes the pressure off and it helps improve sperm quality. Every day on fertile days if your partner has a normal sperm count and if it doesn't put too much pressure on you, you don't want it to be too much of a chore.

We aim for every day when I know I'm super fertile (so about 3 days) and other than that, just whenever we want. I've found that TTC has massively increased my sex drive even on non-fertile days!

I had that a few days ago. Specifically my left ovary area as opposed to a more central womb stab that i get with period pains. Quick pains then gone. Also i've had sharp lower back aches which shoot pain down the top of my leg. For no reason.

CD10 today and not sure if I'm feeling ovulation pain? Have had two bouts of sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Both came on really suddenly, lasted about 30 seconds and then went away really suddenly? Does this sound like possible ovulation pain to anyone?
Cycles so far been about 25/26 days so ovulation is predicted for tomorrow according to the Flo app.

Which days would you suggest DTD? We DTD yesterday when I was CD7 (28-29 day cycles) and I know it's a bit early but now unsure whether to do every day or every other? The internet seems to give contradicting advice on what gives us more chances to conceive!!

@123456789sw i caved and i tested with a frer clear blue, and BFN :((( and I’m pretty sure it would have been positive if it had worked… very disappointed but hey now I just wait for AF and will start a new cycle snif snif

@glasspaw I had the same thing this month I had a flashing smiley on CD14 on CB but on premom it was only 0.15 exactly the same and then didn't get my peak of 1.20 until CD18! We DTD around both days to be sure but perhaps keep testing with the opk, that's what I did to make sure

I'm trying to wait now. We go on saturday to cornwall so i'm going to test friday before i go and if by a miracle its positive, try.... TRY not to tell hubby so i can surprise him on fathers day on sunday.

@123456789sw you never know, could be late implantation bleeding? Fingers crossed for no AF for you! Keep us updated

Not going to bother testing. Pretty sure AF is coming today had a bit of spotting after DTD last night.
I hope you have a positive

Has anyone ever tested side by side with a clear blue digi and cheap strips? I started this month because I wanted a better idea (and my ov strips are a few months out of date) and today I got flashing smiley on the CB and a reading of 0.15 on the strip.

I am getting cramps which I’ve previously assumed to be ovulation cramping so I suspect the CB is right, but for the results to be so different is a bit weird right? Even on an out of date strip.

@HyggeTyggeDotCom how are you holding up on your end??

@PineappleK sound promising :) I feel the same 10 days ago after I ovulated I so wanted to know already ahah

@123456789sw same I had some cramps and it was weird but it went and now I’m feeling the same as you, I’m not sure I’ll test tomorrow…. Maybe I’m just scared of the disappointment…? Especially on a Monday before going to work hihi … AF due around Wed/Thu/Fri maybe I’ll wait? I’ll just see what mood I’m in in the morning, keeping my finger very very crossed for you if we decide to do it :) :)

@Caths456 congratulation to you :) :)
