Haha thanks mademoiselle, we were determined this month! We had planned more but I wasn't well haha.

Treaclepie19 · 18/04/2014 14:11

Lol genni, trust me we're not normally that rampant! Haha.

MademoiselleG · 18/04/2014 14:18

Great stats thanks treacle and hats off to you for the mammoth shagathon Grin

I've got my smiley face on opk and lots of cm so I've text dp to make sure he knows he has to dtd again later Grin

Treaclepie19 · 18/04/2014 15:12

Haha spinning, good plan! Were off out to celebrate DH's promotion. We were meant to be going last week but thought I'd wait til af came or bfp :)

KittyVonCatsington · 18/04/2014 15:17

That's my girl treacle! Always stood by the theory that more sex equals more chances of a BFP and a marathon shagathon helps me think that we've done all we can. Shame I didn't ovulate till CD24 last cycle and ended up walking like John Wayne towards the end Grin

I was reading a study from an American medical journal which said although Doctors used to recommended every other day, a 10 year study showed that every day from about CD9 to a couple of days after ovulation, had the better results. Partly due to newer sperm, less exposure to "toxins" (can't remember what they called it) and better chance of good timing.

Partly why I am so gutted DH has just left for his trip-scared of ovulating tomorrow or Sunday and relying on older swimmers. Talk some sense into me ladies!!!

gennibugs · 18/04/2014 15:23

Oh man. If that's the theory then I'm definitely doomed this month! I'm focusing on those people who dtd once or twice around ov and manage to get a bfp....It only takes once right?Smile

treacle I'm giggling at your DH high fiving you now!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/04/2014 15:31

I think I'm the only dipstick who got to ov and stopped shagging. Dh is most annoyed as I'm on strike now! It really does amaze me he's got to the ripe old age of 40 already, has a family and knows absolutely NOTHING about conception, pg or birth! Confused

gennibugs · 18/04/2014 15:35

No mrsE that's EXACTLY what happened to us this month. Make that two dipsticks then.

In fairness to DH he was shattered from a new job but I'm still secretly cross.

CallingAllEngels · 18/04/2014 15:46

genni that is exactly what we did this month. ..twice or maybe three times around ov!

MademoiselleG · 18/04/2014 15:48

Right. Talk some sense into me. I'm about 5 minutes past ovulation (well, 3 dpo actually) and having POAS withdrawal symptoms. I have a zillions of different pg tests in the house and feel reeeeeaaally drawn to them. Someone tell me off, quick!

OP posts:
MademoiselleG · 18/04/2014 15:48

just zillions. Not 'a zillions'. Obviously.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/04/2014 15:49

Genni I wasn't secret about my crossness! Blush so well done you. But that didn't help either Sad we managed 5,6,7,10,12,13,14 and then stopped. Got my smily on morning of 14. I was more annoyed with bothering to test ov daily, dh took the vits but when it came to dtd said he was tired. Wtf. I think this has added to the problem of ttc. Not only do I have health issues he just isn't into sex really. He did amazingly well to start with for him.

I used to think all men were obsessed but the older ive got the more I've realised that's a myth. I'm not very good at being turned down either. I sort get all rejected Sad stupid I know, but I can't help it!

RetroHippy · 18/04/2014 15:50

Going by that theory, genni, we're doomed too. DH and I have managed to DTD CD 12,16,22 and 27. Oh, and this morning Blush. I think I've just been too gross and snotty to even contemplate it Grin

FF is telling me I ovulated on CD 24 though so I'm hoping DH had enough pent up swimmers on day 22 to have done the trick! We'll see in another week I guess.

fancyacupoftea · 18/04/2014 15:50

I was going well with the 'pounding' (thanks for that one mademoiselle - made me laugh) until I got fed up at no +ve OPK and GAVE UP. Next month just going to go for it. Like superwoman. Every single fucking day. IF TREACLE CAN DO IT SO CAN I.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/04/2014 15:50

Mademoiselle after my poas addiction last month ivd managed to kick the habit. I don't have a test in the house at all. I'm 8dpo and I won't be testing at all. Grin I'm cured!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/04/2014 15:53

Is it true sperm lives up to 7 days inside girly bits? I don't know where I read that, but it gave me a bit of hope.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/04/2014 15:59

Why don't you start your shagging marathon a bit later in your cycle MrsE? That way DH won't be shattered when it gets to the important bit?? Also think sperm live up to 7days but that's only the really good ones in a perfect environment.

Just received a lovely Easter package from my mum, lots of Easter chocolate treats! Bless her!!Smile

MademoiselleG · 18/04/2014 16:00

Yes MrsE, up to 7 days in the right environment...blabla...

Gosh I am wishing the time away...I want to peeeeeeeee on a stiiiiiick!

OP posts:
RetroHippy · 18/04/2014 16:00

Love it IF TREACLE CAN DO IT SO CAN I!

Well, turns out FF only told me I ov'd on the 22nd as I lied and put in a +ve OPK that I didn't actually do Blush.

Having taken that out it now thinks I ov'd on the 18th and am due AF tomorrow (CD 32). Humph. Fuck knows. I'll test in a week if there's still no sign. Normally I'd be super twitchy and peeing on everything by now, but I thought I'd ov'd late and so was pretty chilled. Now I still think I was late, but I'm thrown into doubt by an automated app. Angry.

Creme egg time. I'm running out now Sad

MademoiselleG · 18/04/2014 16:01

Oh English, that's so nice! I got some from my mum too. Mums are best!

Get.a.grip.woman.
Might just wake DD up so there is something to do!
