@thismonthsfad I don’t have any tips but what do you mean 3-5 days fresh? 👀

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks sorry to hear about your chemicals

This may be a massive TMI - but Hubz and I literally only had 1 chance to DTD last cycle and it had been around 2.5-3 weeks since the last action. Basically his swimmers weren’t ‘very fresh’. Chatgpt says to unleash the swimmers every 3-5 days 🤣
Honestly I don’t know how true this is but we’ll give it a go!

6/7dpo here! Am going on hols around the time AF is due 🫠 so don’t know whether to test a little earlier or just do it the day before/while on hols. Don’t want hol ruined by bad news, but guess that’d happen if AF arrives while there anyway. Generally I prefer not to test until after AF due as just don’t want to know if it’s a really early loss. Had MMC at 12 weeks earlier this year and it devastated me so I’m a bit anxious this time around

Probably should have added it’s cycle 14 for us and our second chemical.

GiveTheGoblinsSnacks · 25/09/2025 13:03

CD1 for me. We were pregnant on Tuesday and then it turned into a chemical so very devastated at the moment. I’m trying to think positive. We meet with a fertility expert once every three weeks and she said I’m definitely ovulating.

thismonthsfad · 25/09/2025 12:56

Cycle 3 for me! Currently CD2, ovulation est CD11, TWW should start from 7th October! On holiday during next fertile window so work/life stuff won’t get in the way this cycle 🤩

things I’ve learned since cycle 1

  • i prefer to track my temps for O
  • i can’t get on with LH strips
  • bought some pre-seed to use on O day
  • sperm needs to be at least 3-5 days fresh (thank you ChatGPT lol)
  • my ovulation is on CD11

has anyone got any other tips 😬🙏

Hey @wonderlust07! I’m in the same boat as you. Came off my pill in August and got my first period a couple of weeks ago so now into officially cycle 1 of trying although at the moment I’m trying to be (semi) relaxed about it! I have a nearly 2.5 year old son so we conceived on cycle 3 so hoping we are blessed to be as lucky this time!

Show quote history

This sounds very much like me - I assumed I'd be more relaxed than I actually am. Hoping to try and forget about it as much as possible now until I am able to test😅 I have a son who is 17 months old.

Hi, I am new - first month trying for baby number 2, currently 2 DPO (I think - also only had my implant out at the beginning of the month). Need some company that isn't ChatGPT. 😂

Moving over from the other thread. CD12, which is when I normally ovulate but no signs of impending ovulation. Temp still very down with no signs of rising and OPKs low. Off to Ibiza on Saturdays so will get some BDing on whilst there as presume I’ll ovulate late 🤷🏻‍♀️

HansBanans · 25/09/2025 06:18

Migrating from the other thread. Hoping to test 12 October if af doesn’t arrive before then

GoldDustWoman90 · 24/09/2025 22:59

Helloooooo 👋 I was on the other thread with a squinter of a line on a Boots test….

CD3 now, here we go again!
