TTC #2

How's everyone doing?

I'm CD22 8dpo today.
Still headachy and bloated.
Had some random sharp pains yesterday
Today the tiredness has hit, a big symptom of my pmdd. I'm literally ready to go to bed right now.

It varies. I was having cycles between 22-26 days and then last month was 30 days or something.
With ovulation around cd 10-14
So af anywhere from 8 days onwards

I seen to get a mix of the pmdd and HG symptoms start around 4 days before I get my period.

@SkaterChick ahhh I'm sorry. 4dpo is still very early. I've been symptom spotting and driving myself crazy this cycle. I have had no chill. I need to do it differently next time.

Cd18 today and 4dpo.
In crampy and feel bloated like I'm going to get my period and I've had a raging headache all day :(
If AF doesn't show early im going to try holding off testing as long as I can.

Thankyou. I had a few minor signs that AF might turn up. Slightly sensitive boobs (usually that happens before AF for me), plus a bit bloated.

At 7/8dpo I had a sharp pulling pain in my lower right when I sneezed. Only during those two days and then it didn’t happen after. I have only had that in early pregnancy before. I thought maybe it could be a cyst though. I guess I just needed to remove that small bit of doubt by testing. I wasn’t expecting it to be positive to be honest.

I’m just hoping AF stays away.

I just did a test at 11dpo and got a positive. I’m tentative but hopeful.

I've just realised the above makes not much sense 🤣🤣
I had a dark opk weds and Thurs. Thursday was darker so that was probably my peak.
Lighter today so tapering off.

And incase anyone cares we dtd again today and hubby was able to finish 🤣🤣🤣
I haven't had a y ovulation pains yet so fingers crossed I'm still in with a chance.

So I got another very dark line on my opk so either had a long peak or maybe yesterday wasn't as dark as I thought. Yesterday's was definitely darker.
Anyways ... Today's is lighter so I guess ovulation is imminent.
We tried to drs last night but dh wasn't able to finish. He's recently started some meds which are effecting him in this area and I'm trying very hard to remember that this medication is important and he needs it (no alternative at the moment) but I can't help but feel a bit bitter that it's going to effect us getting pregnant.

Going to try again tonight and see how it goes. I'm trying not to let getting anxious about whether or not he will get there effect what is otherwise some bloody good sex 😅🤣

Sadly not.
I was gagging for it as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so frustrating.
I peed and forgot to do my opk when I got home a minute ago so I've left one out to do a bit later.
I don't tend to tell dh what the opks say cause he finds it to much pressure.

I BD every single day for 5 days leading up to predicted ovulation, the 3 days over ovulation and 2 days post ovulation and it didn't stick...

This month I didn't even know I was anywhere near ovulation and BD last night for fun. Tested OPK this morning and it's strong! Will probably BD tonight but not going to stress about it any more after that.

@beansread always happy to hear blabbing don’t worry.
@MrsKurz sounds like you covered it went. I think ovulation day or day after can still be good.

we did 5 days in a row over peak/ovulation and it still didn’t work so I wouldn’t worry too much about the fact your hubby had sickness bug. I’ve had my 24 hour moan about how frustrating this in…. On to the next cycle soon!

Can I join? I’m 2 dpo and will be testing next Thursday. We had planned to BD the day of peak and 2 days after, but a sickness bug got my hubby and we ended up BD on O-3 O-1 and O+1. Depending on if I got timings right. Not really sure about it.

do you try to time BD for more pre peak and peak day? The more I read BD once ovulation has happened is a bit late?

Eurgh the gremlin just didn't want to go to sleep this evening and dh is bloody asleep 🙄🙄 he's been having loads of trouble sleeping recently so I can't wake him up.
Hopefully the cat will or we can dtd tomorrow and Friday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@beansread yes I use premom.
Got my peak this evening, im yet to log in premom as doing bedtime but the lines are same colour. So weird because when TTC my first I never got a peak ever!!
Hopefully we can dtd when child goes to sleep or we'll do it tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Have you got the Premom app? It shows your peak if you log your ovulation sticks. I have done my first OPK today and it's showing 0.47 and I'm CD11!
Husband has categorically said to keep the testing and results etc to myself because he experiences too much pressure from it...

You guys might find me blabbing on, on here as don't have anyone else to talk through it with 😂

Hi everyone. Slowly approaching my ovulation date. Feel ok, although, husband and I haven't BD for 4 weeks which is really unusual for us. Anyone else experience this after their first active attempt to fall pregnant?

8dpo today and a very negative test. Getting that disappointed feeling….. eugh!! I was feeling lucky this month.
