@Floralcat Exciting!! I think I'm going to ovulate tomorrow or monday, so we'll be close in our cycles 😍 If you can DTD tonight I think that's amazing, It only takes one sperm after all 🤭

@BerrieSweet CD16 here and positive OPK this afto so think i will ovulating tomorrow! Havent really managed to dtd much so hoping if we manage tonight and monday may still be in with a chance 🤞🤞

That's interesting, maybe I'm a slow riser too. Should find out over the next few days!

Wow, you did really well. Not a chance we'd manage that, we've been aiming for every two days over the suspected fertile period so if I did ovulate yesterday we hit O-3 and O-1 which I'm pleased with. We were planning today too but... we'll see. There's a lot going on at the moment (not relationship stuff) and scheduled when you're a bit disinterested is one thing but scheduled when neither of you want it at all is a different matter!

My bbt is always a slow rise so feels like it takes a while to confirm. Hopefully it rises tomorrow so you know where you are too.

I know what you mean! We were definitely sick of it. We have done it every day for the past two weeks but annoyingly only missed actual o day. So I'm hoping that's good enough! And just glad to take a break

Do you think you have timed it well?

Good that you know where you are! Yes, that was me. OPK indicated ovulation was probably on the 21st but BBT hasn't risen so...not quite sure. If it rises tomorrow that will make sense, otherwise it might have been an LH peak but not the LH peak. Testing once a day to see what they do.

Kind of hoping it was yesterday... we're both a bit sick of scheduled sex 🙈 do you think you managed to time things well for this cycle?

Finally confirmed ovulation on the 20th. So 2dpo and in the TWW.

@Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa I think you said you were around the same time. How are you getting on?

@carolinep3 I've been looking into ways to lengthen it and was thinking I'll contact the GP. I had a MMC last year and my cycles don't seem to be the same since. Some are a little longer or shorter and some really heavy 🤔

@Miffy1994 Totally get it, I've read that not every egg is the perfect one and if that's the case I'm glad the body "bins" it now rather than later and that it ends in a BFN 💕 (sorry if that's the wrong English) It's our turn soon!!!

Blinking smiley today as predicted! 😍

Hello and sorry to see you on here @Matildahoney.
I think you’ve worded it quite well there @BerrieSweet! Also now on cycle 3, wondering why dtd in the fertile window hasn’t worked. And now beyond the point now where we conceived DD so trying to bat away the intrusive thoughts of ‘there’s something wrong with you’, more just that we were very lucky with DD!

Same! We're in this together ❤️

10 days is quite short, I believe there are things you can do to lengthen it.

It seems my acupuncture I had last month is still positively affecting my ovulation which is good I guess. CD11 and opk is still
Pretty light.

Exactly that! I've done everything I can my end 🤣 supplements, OPKs, books, dtd at the right time. It's just waiting to see if everything I can't control is going to line up too, I'm so impatient lol

Yes! Sometimes you DTD on your most fertile day but it just wasn't the most perfect egg to handle a pregnancy or so on. Most of the times you can't do something about it ❤️ As a control freak that's a nightmare but It's just the case 😭😂

@jo2104 if AF comes it will probably be before Friday for me as I normally only have 10 days between ovulation and AF. I'll try hold out until Friday with you though 😊 as even if AF is later Itll still be too early to test

@cltw chatgpt is GREAT😭✋🏼

If I'm out this month I'll give BBT a try then 😊 should be a bit easier next month as I'm mainly day shifts and only one night in march. Think that's mainly why it's been sitting in my drawer.

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one! Honestly I try to just tell myself that I've done all I can and now I've just got to wait the two weeks but it's so difficult not to think about it!

@Matildahoney That gives me hope, I know 3 months is short for TTC but it is still tough as you probably know. 6 months isn't so far away❤️

Thank you, I'm trying to stay positive, it took 6 months to conceive DS so as long as it doesn't take longer than that!

Joining from the February thread as AF arrived this morning 😢 this will now be cycle 5 of TTC #2.

I’ve downloaded the Cronometer app to track my food for a couple of weeks to pay attention to protein and micronutrient intake. I couldn’t donate blood earlier today as my iron wasn’t at the target level and I also just feel like my hormones are out of whack.

So sorry, it's so frustrating when you DTD in your fertile window and it still doesn't happen. It's another type of sadness that you can't explain. I'm in cycle 3 as well ❤️

Coming over from the Feb thread, AF has just arrived 😢 been feeling crap, headachey, cold and sick all day, fell asleep around 4.30, thought it may have been pregnancy exhaustion but sadly not. We DTD every day from af finishing until a few days ovulation and no luck! So begins cycle 3

Chatgpt - that's actually genius. I'll be off to do that now..

@littlefox90 I'm 7DPO are you going to test again before period is due or wait it out?
i haven’t tested yet, I’m going to try wait until
friday if I can!!
