Good luck all!

Girlsworld. You've got company here at the back as my cycles are rolling along to as many as 36 days...

Reading on everyone's threads about the utzing from friends and family thought I'd share the clever response my DH now relies on as he seems to get the question more than I do (I've been horrid telling people for 7 years I don't want kids so they know not to ask me, even though they know it's not true). When DH gets the inevitable "so when are you two going to have a child?" He snaps back with "We'll give that a try tonight and let you know how it goes tomorrow if you like.". It cracks me up as he's so deadpan and all sorts of his parent's friends turn red and mumble as they realize they've asked him a rather personal question.

Hi girlsworld, welcome!

STILL SWIing over here, was hoping for a temp jump this morning, but got a dip. Managed a quicke before heading off to work, but getting a bit tired of it now! I do wonder what my ovaries are up to, sometimes.

Figured I will most likely be (eventually) told by FF that today was Ov day. Do you guys DTD the day after Ov day aswell, something about the egg hanging around for 24hrs, or are we not typically fertile then?

Friday's stats (hope they are ok). Trying and failing to do something to take my mind of the 2ww. [grr emoticon!}

Good morning,

Ravenlocks - I think the egg survives for 24 hours after ovulation so it's worth giving it a go the day after ovulation as well if you can manage it . I think after 24 hours there is not much chance of conception but then I'm not confident enough to be sure when I have ovulated so I think we might stick to SWIing every other day until I am certain that ovulation must have happened! It's all a bit exhausting though!!

My DP commented that he never knew that there was such a small window to get pregnant in the cycle. I know what he means, certainly my sex ed at school told us you could get pregnant at any time in the month and that's why you should always use protection.
Get to the point where you are trying to get pregnant and suddenly it's not that simple at all is!

Nothing happening here, no symptoms though my hips have suddenly started really hurting. I had bad SPD last time and this morning hobbling around thought to myself 'do i really want to go through that again?' Oh and my left boob hurts but only when i lie down in bed at night
We're away for the weekend so that will take my mind off things until at least Monday when we get back and i will be counting down the days to see whether the two 35 day cycles were a blip or not.

Afternoon All

Brassicababe I am totally feeling your pain on the 2WW. It is driving me mad! the next 9 days are going to be the the longest ever!!!

I've spent most of the morning trying to work out if the dull ache in my lower abodemon and lower back is a symptom ir is it just a result of a visit to the osteo yesterday? Is my extreme tiredness a symptom or just that I have been burning the candle at both ends too much? Are my boobs a teensy bit tender because I lay on them funny last night or because that is a symptom too? The other really annoying thing is that all of that could just be because my body is getting back to "normal" after being on the implanon for 3 years.... Argh I don't know!!!! Am I an obsessive symptom spotter or possibly PG????? Who knows!

To top it all off I seem to be coming down with some sort of cold bug thing. sniff sniff Oh woe is me!!!! Have I whinged enough yet?! Sorry ladies I will try and be more positive later in the day. Hope you all have a good afternoon.

Ravenlocks apparently the egg actually lasts between 24-48 hours after being released so there is still time! I work on the basis of SWI for 5 days before OV and 2 days after if that is any help.

queenrollo My DH was pretty shocked with how small that window is too. I went to a Catholic Girls school and I can assure you they taught us bugger all about the biology of getting pregnant. I didn't know what OV was until I went to the doctor when I was 12 years old because I had AF pain just 10 days after my first AF. Madness! Hopefully times are changing!

Ok lunchbreak is over I had better at least pretend to do some work now! Byeeee!

Clearly can't spell as distracted with symptom spotting... Abodemon whatever that is was supposed to be abdomen!!!

Right - quick question for you ladies. I expect to be ovulating in the next 3- 5 days. Should I be having sex now or at ovulation time or just keep SWI ing just in case! Is every second day the way to go? I really want it to work this month - so tired of waiting. Thanks

jigglebum sperm can hang out for 5 days waiting for the egg, so get going now! Apparently every other day is sufficient, but I kind of think that the more the better (if I can be arsed ).

I am still sickly and need to start SWI soon, so I am trying to get better by lying on the sofa watching crap on telly as much as possible and conserving energy!

Keep SWIing!
I think as much as possible before ov then on ov and then immediately after ov. Does that help? :)

I am bored with the wait-before-the-ov-before-the-2ww. Bored!

Hi all! Thanks for the welcome.

I second the advice re sperm lasting 5 days or so. Also for OV to last 24 hours (in some cases 48hr+ but think this is unusual, yet not impossibly unusual).

jigglebum - get going now! I read somewhere that the six days leading up to and including ovulation are the peak times because the sperm can hang out waiting for an egg for about 5 days. I'm not sure if average sperm can survive 5 days or just super fit sperm.

I've heard people say that every other day is enough but I'm living by the more the better rule

There is a really good app for the iphone that would help you ladies with all your calculations around fertile days and when you should be SWI. It's P Tracker and it is about 59p. Also they have the male version of it that can link up with yours so he knows when you should be SWI too! I would highly recommend!

Thanks everyone - so I need to keep SWIing all weekend is the message loud and clear!!

I swear this had better be our month!

I have read in a few places that SWI every other day is preferable as it allows the gents to build back up. That said, a friend has just gone through all the tests and as her DH is healthy with a million-man count they said he didn't need to let them rest.

Great that everybody is asking the questions that I feel too shy to ask!

I read somewhere that it was good to leave 2-3 days before SWI at ovulation but then you've got to be pretty sure when ovulation is - at the moment my cycle seems to be a bit doo-lally.

What makes me smile is the teenagers who insist they 'only did it once'... obviously they'll be more fertile than geriatric old me but not that much

Good luck to all the laydees who'll be at it this weekend!

I have wondered about that every 2 days thing, At the moment doing everyday and trying for twice a day once +ve OPK. With every two days I suppose I get frustrated knowing I could conceive and yet let 48hrs of that precious window go with out getting another few million of the little swimmers up there.

I know it is quality not quantity, however.

Twice a day ravenlocks, gosh, I feel like a slacker at the back of the class!

:o

Hee hee! Yes, no one can say we are not giving it a good go.

The Pope was in town and he was passing by in his Popemobile not far from my office and I thought 'what the hell, I have tried everything else with this TTC lark, can't hurt to see if catching a glipse of the Pope will make a difference!! I am not Catholic or even religious.

Do I take the for being the most bonkers on the bus!?

Anyone seen Notting Hill when they go round the table trying to see who is the most pathetic and therefore who is deserving of the last chocolate brownie? I reakon we could do the same on the bus with a biscuit and a stories of TTC induced insanity.

Who wants to have a go?

ravenlocks surely a peek of the pope makes one prone to pregnancy...

Ok it's 5.23am and I am wide awake because I've been dreaming about spot bleeding and symptom spotting!!! Yes you heard right! So do I get the last brownie??!!
