Mama. I'm with you on the easing off a bit with dtd to keep the good stuff. When gilly got her bfp, remember she famously missed the 4.30am sess... Worth considering!

jaykay987 · 09/10/2013 12:59

OMG. I was having a down day (again) but that thread is HILARIOUS!

I have been crying with laughter. I cannot believe its trending on twitter and the Metro have got hold of it! Smile

Mama - Id leave tonight and then do tomorrow, Friday and Sunday (if I was lucky enough to have a DH like yours you is keen!)

Im annoyed as I am more and more confused. I got peak on CB OPK a week ago last Saturday. Went straight from low to peak, which wasn't followed by higher temps, so assumed it was a false alarm. Then I got high last Friday and Saturday, followed by peak on Sunday. My temps raised from Friday, so FF thinks I ovulated Friday.

That would make me dpo 5 today. But, Ive had LOADs so CM the past three days and today I have loads of pain in my back and tummy and my temp has dropped this morning. So either this is implantation cramping and implantation dip. Or maybe Im ovulating now and the opks and previous temp rise was wrong? Is 5dpo too early for implantation? Does anyone know if implantation cramping is normal? I know implantation bleeding is the exception not the rule. Anyone know whether the same applies to the cramping?
I usually get a post ov temp dro for one day, but this is normally 7dpo, not 5dpo.
Today is cd24 - if this is ov today, my cycle is just getting longer and longer as that'll put me on track for a 38 day cycle!

Aggghhhhh! Im so confused. Wish I could convince DH to dtd EOD and forget all the temping and opks! But my cycle is so long, that'll never work, we'll never manage it.

I just want to know. We haven't dtd since Friday, so if we missed my fertile window Id rather know so I don't get my hopes up over the next week and a half!

So Im torn - either I have not chance if Im ovulating now. Or I have a great chance, because I have pains that I don't normally have which might be implantation.

Aaaaggggghhhhh! I know no one can tell me the answer. I just need to wait.
I'll try and dtd tonight (but Ive been trying every day since Saturday and not yet been successful Sad)

RaRa1988 · 09/10/2013 13:42

OMG thankyou so much for the 'do you dunk your penis?' thread, brilliant Grin

Owlie84 · 09/10/2013 14:05

hehe, just had a peek at that thread; it's all over twitter!

AF is definitely here, so I'm officially out this month :( I will jump onto the Nov bus later in the month, but I will still be lurking here to see all the BFPs!! :) Good luck!

mama31 · 09/10/2013 14:27

Sorry owlie...hugs!!!!

Jaykay I don't know....I seem to not know anything since ovulation crept up on me so quick...my solid master plan has been thrown up in the air....and now I don't know when to dtd!! :/ jaykay just keep dtd where possible...its all guesswork I'm afraid!!!!

To do the deed tonight or not to do the deed.....that is the question :/ agggghh! So frustrating...ok so if opk line is stronger tonight I'm gona do it, if its still same strength I'm gona hang fire til tomorrow lunch time! (And if the line disapears by tomorrow....I'm gona throw the biggest tantrum ever seen)

ScienceGeekGirl · 09/10/2013 14:35

Well it's only 9dpo (from positive stick, who knows for sure as my temping was not done well this month) and I have spotting. So guess my birthday month wasn't my lucky month after all. Not sure how I'm gonna find the mental energy to do it again for the 8th cycle. It is so brutal.

mama31 · 09/10/2013 14:37

Awh no science so sorry :(

jaykay987 · 09/10/2013 14:54

Sorry owlie. Sorry science.
I hate this process. FX next cycle will be lucky for you both.

allchatnicknamesgone · 09/10/2013 15:01

Jaykay - try not to stress. Try and did tonight? When you say you've been trying, do you mean dh hasn't been able to perform? Can you just fib and say O time is over but you need some loving? Then at least if you have some bad boys in you, you can hopefully relax?
Can you do an opk now and check?

allchatnicknamesgone · 09/10/2013 15:03

Science, isn't dpo9 early for AF or do you have short LP. I know you don't know 100% when you O'd, but could it be implantation or does is it too similar to AF.
Sorry, owlie. bugger

ScienceGeekGirl · 09/10/2013 15:10

Usually get to 12dpo before starting properly. Spotting from 10dpo is not unusual so pretty sure this is the beginning of my AF coming Sad. Guess if I have to think of a positive at least this will be a short for me cycle of about 34 days. Also means less time till I can do the blood tests the doctor says to get done to see if baby making is even possible.

allchatnicknamesgone · 09/10/2013 15:35

Ah - shame then science. Good if you can try and take positives from it.

flymo79 · 09/10/2013 15:43

hello all, lurked for a bit and realised I ought to jump in or else get my grotty mac! ho ho. really feeling a bit down as last night had a row with DP instead of dtd and I think I was already 1 day dpo and should've been getting on the good foot. now will have to initiate making-up d'ing t d instead of sulking which is really what I want to do!! anyway, looks like you are all lovely and supportive of one another, have already noted a couple of stories which sound really similar to recent months for me....

allchatnicknamesgone · 09/10/2013 16:13

hi flymo - don't worry. save your mood until your are not fertile! :)
make up sex is often the best!

VickyVix · 09/10/2013 16:21

Ah sorry Science and owlie Thanks if either of you need cheering up I can really recommend the penis dunking post from earlier today Grin

Hi flymo good to have you on board. Sometimes making up DTD is the best kind so just get down to it tonight. Or, if you really do fancy sulking be comforted by the fact that if you DTD before you ov'd there should have been some swimmers queuing up so you may still be ok :)

mama31 · 09/10/2013 16:22

I agree flymo....your row will seem irrelevant in a few days....missing the fertile window..will not... Get to work ;)

mama31 · 09/10/2013 16:42

Well I've made a decision and scheduled DH in for tonight when he gets home from work at 9pm lol I'm too afraid to miss an opportunity so gona dtd tonight, tomorrow lunch time, skip fri and then sat and sun for fun luck/fun!

If its meant to be it will be......and I'm feeling in the mood ;) so def up for it tonight....wish me luck! Just gona go with my body and if it says it wants to get jiggy then that's what I'm gona do!!! :)

MarlenaGru · 09/10/2013 16:59

Good luck tonight mama!
Sorry about the AFs for the others.
I am a total grump today. AF started about three hours after my BFN and I am off to collect antibiotics for a kidney infection so I can well and truly empathise with the cystisis club! Ridiculous thing is I have only ever had one UTI before so this is clearly from TTC. I hope our future children realise how much we have been through!

englishteacher78 · 09/10/2013 17:24

AF still hasn't shown up can't believe I have to put up with this not knowing what's going on. If I'm not pregnant, why is my period later than it's ever been before. Confused

allchatnicknamesgone · 09/10/2013 17:37

Mama31 - sorry to chip in but surely tomorrow lunchtime would not be worth it as even the healthiest DH needs 24 hours to restock?

jaykay987 · 09/10/2013 17:56

Sounds like a plan mama. Now - if only I could think of a way to make sure we dtd tonight.

I don't tell DH when it is ov time, to avoid pressure. But he'll be home from work about 10.30 and up at 5am. So there is no possibility tomorrow morning and tonight I will try to initiate but he will be tired after working late!

I've decided the strong period pains Im getting are most likely ov. So tonight is essential! Last time was five days ago! What a potential waste of a 38 day cycle!

jaykay987 · 09/10/2013 17:56

English - FX this is good news, and it's just taking awhile to get your HCG levels high enough to test positive.

lucyfluff · 09/10/2013 18:14

If its any help jaykay, we dtd during a time when I had ov pains and it was a little uncomfortable but resulted in bfp!

Go for it tonight mama, I want to hear you had a good session tmrw morning Wink I need cheering up !!!!!

Sorry owlie :(

Stats please flymo and I'll update the list, and welcome aboard Smile

That dunking penis thread is hilarious btw!

m33r · 09/10/2013 18:22

flymo I agree with mama. You will be furious if in the 2ww you're not actually 'waiting'! It will seem such a waste.

Good for you mama. I'm not sure this if this is making you more obsessive but maybe use recommended ttc positions and under no circumstances stand up for at least an hour after - every little helps ... Or have I lost the plot!?!
