So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

Been a bit slack the last few days (lost hope in Ov) so last time was ThursdayHmm So better get down to some serious business. Just to make sure, when the smiley appears this means that I will Ov tomorrow or the next day or does it mean I am Ov now??

[Grin] for the Smile Swede

HazyShadeOfWinter · 20/01/2014 15:44

Darn

HungryHorace · 20/01/2014 15:46

Not super late then, in the scheme of things. I'm a smiley on CD15 person!

You ovulate 24-36 ish hours post smiley, I think, depending on when you get it. As you didn't test yesterday you don't know when the surge started, so it should be today - tomorrow I imagine. I always test with FMU and go with the day after the smiley (especially as I tested at 11 the night before my smiley due to OV pain and no smiley then!).

The sperm should still be there from Thursday, but definitely DTD later!

HungryHorace · 20/01/2014 15:47

Any EWCM, Swede?

Hurrah for smiley face Swede! Hope your DH fulfils his husbandly duty tonight! Grin

donnas how was your scan?

Better sorry you're ill now, but maybe this is a good thing as the cramps might well have been bug-related rather than a mc. Really hope you get some good news tomorrow! What time is your scan?

Welcome Hazy! Ttc does drive you mad and makes you examine every tiny little twinge...

Sorry if I've missed anyone, just trying to catch up aftadams conference day in London, which wasn't as bad as us feared thankfully.

Toothpastekissesno2 · 20/01/2014 18:42

Great swede!! We shall all be thinking of u tonight- haha bit wrong!
My mil is just a very angry person I think. She has these flashes of temper which I have seen many times but this w.e was first time I've been on receiving end. Just had a good rant to my lovely mum. I don't want it to come between me and dh but it upsets me a little that he doesn't ever stand up to her.
ANYway! It's her who is unhappy and I won't let it affect me. Too much!
When are the twenty week scans
For those further along preg peeps? Any 12 week scans coming up? God I love a scan. New obsession after poas!
Goodluck all

willowking · 20/01/2014 19:45

Hello everyone. Mind if I join in?

I'm 31 with no dcs. 1st cycle so no idea of cycle length. 28 days was on Saturday, no AF as if yet. Poas on sat but BFN still hopefully though.

Loads of luck and love to all of you on this thread.

utopian99 · 20/01/2014 19:53

Hi, sorry long time no posting again! I may have af at last though! (I know everyone else hates her, but given there had been nothing since O was born, I count this as a step in the right direction..)

The thing is it's just a bit, off and on today, not proper af. Also hugely achey boobs (Could be stopping bf two weeks ago,) and tired (par for the course these days.) If, just IF, it's implantation bleeding, what would suggest this and when could I test to know?

HungryHorace · 20/01/2014 21:09

Weird / light AFs can be implantation. Hard to say, really!

Give it a few days then test. :-) I love a bit of vicarious POAS!

Dtd last night. Actually DH was not too keen, think I wore him out last week, poor thing. Anyway, I gave him the evil eye and he stepped up so he is now in the good books again:)

HungryHorace · 21/01/2014 06:00

Oh dear! I'm glad he realised what was best for him to do! :-)

Windywinston · 21/01/2014 07:36

SwedeAway · 21/01/2014 10:12

Can I have your opinions please. Shall I dtd every day and for how long or shall I stick with gyno's recommendation and do it every other day. Dont want to wear out my DH (or his swimmers) but dont want to miss a window of opportunity. What to do???

OP posts:
BetterNotBitter · 21/01/2014 10:24

Thanks everyone, dreading it but looking forward to a resolution.

Id go eod swede, there'll always be enough in there and they're going to be better quality tgst way!

Metalhead · 21/01/2014 10:34

Good luck from me too Better, hope everything is ok.

Swede I'm sure eod is enough as sperm can live for a few days inside your body, and if it's what you're gyno recommended I'd stick with that.
