THE DINO CLUB #1

Lots of us in the TWW I think now! Fingers crossed for everyone xx

tww starts for me today giiirl we can do this 😅💪💪

Went from nothing yesterday to static smiley this evening-no flashing smiley warning. DTD Sunday, Monday, yesterday and today. Will attempt again tomorrow but we are exhausted😅 Two week wait again! GP appointment made for after the two week wait also, to discuss my bloods results.

Thank you 😁
I'm hoping having something else to focus on will be good and allow us to enjoy the festive period and once we've moved we'll feel motivated again with a new beginning 🤞😁

I think you’ve covered plenty!! Try not to worry about it. I’ve read peak is the most likely day to result in conception and you’ve covered plenty of days before too so 🤞

Very exciting about the move! Hopefully it’ll give you a really good distraction ☺️

I dont know if we've done it enough this month, but I genuinely couldn't face it by the time we eventually got our peak.
We DTD CD14, 16, 18 & 19 (peak) - late at night as I assumed I was going to start ovu overnight (if taking into consideration the 8-20hr rule). But we didn't do it on actual ovulation day or today (which is last fertile day) but honestly it was all business coz we're both shattered from work and I couldn't force it 😳

I'm kind of just at the point where if it's meant to be, it will. We move into our new house at the start of January so I feel like I need to start focusing on getting that stuff sorted.

Hey @Gemmaemilyx yeah we have done every other day since CD 8 🤣🤣🤣

Glad you found your peak @HE93C you’ve got it well covered!! I’d like to say don’t stress, but it can’t be helped 😂😂

I’ve tested this afternoon and got over a 1 so defo a surge going on, peak will be today or tomorrow depending how long it lasts.

Do people try to cover 3 days in a row like SMEP suggests after the positive ovu test? I really do not know I have that in me 🤣 I just know we could miss peak if it’s tomorrow not today!

I’m praying we’ve covered ourselves too, it’s so hard to know isn’t it!! Glad you’ve managed to find your peak!!

I peaked Monday Eve, we DTD Thurs, fri, sun, mon x2 and Tues - wanted to do yesterday too but didn’t get chance cos of work schedules. Now I’m overthinking that we didn’t 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t know what timing is the most important one. Anyone have any theories? I can’t possibly google anymore, there’s no more info that can possibly go into my head I’ve googled so much hahah

Ooo interesting! Keep testing today 😃 I find my peak sometimes comes as goes within a few hours.
Have you DTD to cover yourself?

I’m currently CD 11. Cycle #3 after 2 chemicals in the last 2 months. I ovulate CD 14 usually, but last month after my chemical I ovulated CD16. So I’m wondering after my chemical this month if it’ll be late/ on time/ early.
im praying it’s early as we’ve DTD every other day 🤣

Morning ladies.

How are we all doing?

Looks like I’m heading towards peak as got a 0.87 this morning! Fingers crossed my body actually ovulates and it’s just been delayed as it’s CD17 for me today and never had a surge start later than CD13 in the past 🤞

@Toppstileslover Happy Birthday and thank you for thinking of me! I too took a little break from here. Started SMEP on CD10, DTD on CD10,11,13 and of course this cycle is very slow to get going. There’s almost nothing at all on my ovulation strips and I’m CD13, I got symptoms or a surge before on CD14 but we will persevere and give it all we’ve got for this cycle. If it doesn’t work we will chill out a bit for Christmas and regroup in January. I am away on a work trip next week so I hope something happens ovulation wise soon. I got my Hertility results back and my LH was high and I was also flagged for possible Hyperprolactinaemia, so there is a good chance that nothing will happen until I get that seen to, I aim to try and get to the GP next week before I go away.

We’ve not hit stage fright yet, but I feel like if we don’t try spice it up some more it could as it’s becoming quite repetitive and samey 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you everyone ❤️

Hope you had a lovely birthday @Toppstileslover

I agree, my husband before TTC would want to do it every day if he could (we’re both 30) I definitely couldn’t mind, but now he has what I can only assume is stage freight around ovulation 🤣

I'm honestly not much of a sexual person so I think DH is absolutely in delirium about it 😆😆 I told him tho he'd soon get sick of 5 times a week, and I think its starting to kick in already 😅

That’s true!! I’d never thought of that as a pressure on them but you’re right!

To be fair to him, I used to think this too! I had no idea what I was getting myself in for when we started trying!
I also think we had a false sense of security with getting pregnant the first week we stopped using protection, only for that to MC and then it not happen straight away this time!

I do feel for the men sometimes cos at least we know what’s going on with our bodies where as they’re like “what does that mean” to literally everything we say 😂😂

Defo second that the LH testing is frustrating @Lila34830 and I feel the same I get stressed thinking omg have we covered the days we needed to, to optimise the chances!!

But I struggle with the middle of the TWW quite a lot emotionally @HE93C , but do put it down to my hormones 😂 and my OH thinking I’m a crazy lady when I’m like oh by the way I had a cramp today.. and he’s like yes and??? 🤣🤣

I feel like whichever stage I’m in at that moment in time always feels the worst 😂😂 the only up side to the ovulation and LH testing phase is at least DTD can be fun and includes both of you, where as the TWW feels lonely to me and I feel like I spend the whole time making up symptoms in my head 🙃🤦🏽‍♀️
