Yes thinking on it I get my LH surge in the early afternoon and the next day I ovulate. After the LH surge is detected you are meant to ovulate within 36 hours. So if your husband can manage it again tomorrow/ the next day incase that'd be good!! But the spermies can live up there for a few days so if he's too pained don't worry. You've still got a chance this month!! When are you testing?!

ladyflower23 · 30/06/2014 08:23

Hi Newbie, a solid smiley means you are surging, so don't worry you've caught it! Like Redbunny said, ovulation happens within 36 hours of the surge, so you will be alright...but try and get some painkillers down hubby again today if you can he he!
Blank face on my dual hormonerator this morning Sad I am on CD16 today and was expecting to surge on CD18 so was hoping for a flashing smiley this morning. Oh dear, I hope I get my solid smiley/dark line or I will go to a new level of neuroticism!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 09:23

Hormonerater.... I like.
I'm sure I've read somewhere before that some people only get one day of flashing smiley? Im not sure. Do you usually have more? Or is this your first month of the dual ones? I can't remember who's done what!!

newbie6 · 30/06/2014 09:42

Thanks ladies, yes shall drug hubbie today also and see if we can maximise our chances! This will be cycle 3 for us so after being disappointed the last 2 times, think I'm going to try and hold off testing till just a day before AF is due so 11th July maybe????

Hope u see smiling faces soon ladies waiting for the 'surge' !

Gosh I feel so tired. Last night I went to sleep at like 9 and my husband was saying "it's so early. How are you tired" and today I still feel exhausted. I said I wouldn't symptom spot this month but I can't help thinking how tired I felt before getting BFPs in the past. However I'm only 6dpo. So.... I'm probably just getting ill! It's always the second half of the two week wait which drives me crazy!!

Sarahg1 · 30/06/2014 14:56

red I may have entirely broken my promise and POAS. I was having some serious symptoms and even OH is convinced I'm preggers but it's just too early and surprise surprise BFN. However, I did pee on an OPK this morning and got a line which I don't usually get the rest of the month and I did already ov last saturday so trying not to get my hopes up that it means something.. not sure why I did it really, I read somewhere that some women see positive OPKs first but really it's just torturing myself.

newbie I'm due on the 12th too I just ov'd really early. let me know how you get on!!

FX everyone!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 17:36

My tummy feels super pinchy and uncomfortable today. I'm 6dpo.... Implantation???? I really really hope so. Also hope it sticks!!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 17:36

Sarah how many dpo are you? And I'm not judging you. In fact I'm pleased that you couldn't wait cuz I never can!!

ladyflower23 · 30/06/2014 18:08

Yeh, I used the dual hormonerator cycle before last, but it was a random purchase on the day I was coincidentally LH surging, so it went straight to peak when I did it, so don't know if I would have got flashers if I started it earlier. I hate ovulating late, drives me round the bend waiting. Enjoying peeing on all the OPKs though.

newbie6 · 30/06/2014 22:58

So have had solid smiley face today and yest and thankfully managed to DTD both days, do I need to DTD tomorrow as well just to be safe?? Am going to have to seriously drug hubby!! X

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 01:24

Yes red seems we are as impatient as each other! I had ov pains at midnight last fri night/sat morning so do I count sat as day 1 post ov or is sun day 1? either way I'm TOO EARLY TO TEST!!! Day 10 or 11.

fingers crosses that your pinchiness was implantation, hope this is a lucky month for us all because I for one am fed up of waiting! !!!

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 01:25

newbie; if you're able to drug the hubbie I'd say knee more can't hurt but if yours is as obstinate as mine and refuses to do anything he's told then I'm sure you've done enough !!!

ladyflower23 · 01/07/2014 08:06

newbie I think you have done enough. But saying that, if it were me i would probably drug him one more time for peace of mind!
Excited! Had some lady-fluid that looked like it was on its way to becoming egg whites last night and a flashing smiley this morning. The egg is getting ready to leave the frying pan Grin. DH is on red alert for hot mama descending this evening he he!!

RedBunny · 01/07/2014 08:21

Sarah I've always thought the pains was either just before or during the egg getting released. So.... I would guess it happened early Saturday morning? That it actually got out?? That's an awkward time to have it though!!
Newbie you for sure have a chance this month anyway. But if your husband feels like he can, one more can't hurt huh?
Yay Ladyflower!! You'll be back in the two week wait soon as well!

RedBunny · 01/07/2014 08:23

I am now 7dpo. As much as I've always HATED having more periods because of my short cycle I am finally finding it helpful for ttc. I've no doubt it will annoy me again someday though.... After I've had all the children...!

ladyflower23 · 01/07/2014 09:13

Yeh, I always thought I was lucky having cycles on the longer side. Now I hate it!!! Let's hope we all get our BFPs before I start getting cycle lapped!

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 14:57

Yes Red I thought the pains came when the egg popped out too, which is really annoying as that was early hours of Sat and we DTD on Tues night and Sunday morning (we had a big fight the time in between and I was getting increasingly angry at him refusing to DTD on top of the original fight haha) so that makes me DPO 10. And aaaaaages to wait til I can test again.

Hmm I know really I don't have much chance but am still desperately clinging onto hope. Still having my cramping, have ruled out constipation (ha - and all these women talking about CM think THEY'RE giving tmi...) and don't seem to have developed any stomach bug etc so I'm still clutching at straws. Lots of creamy white CM, occasional bouts of very mild nausea (and by mild I mean my stomach churns a bit then is fine, usually after eating, a bit like when you're horrendously hungover) and that's it symptom wise. I fear I'm actually just going to get AF early.

How are the rest of you ladies doing today??

newbie6 · 01/07/2014 20:34

Hi all,

Well I failed to drug hubbie so never DTD today! Did an OPK this morning on my CB dual hormone thing and got an empty circle so praying that the fact we have DTD on my 2 peak fertility days will be suffice! Have a feeling it will be another BFN though, don't know why as can't explain it but just worry my age is against me compared to last time etc :(

Anyway..... Enough moaning and good luck to those of you due to POAS soon, lots of baby dust to us all!

Xx

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 20:44

How old are you newbie?

don't give up hope now if you dtd previously then you've done all you can. I've now totally written off this month and am out having cocktails, the reality has set in that I'm totally imagining any symptoms and I'm actually quite deluded. (though secretly still clutching at straws and having one low alcohol cocktail...)

newbie6 · 01/07/2014 21:21

Hi

I'm 38,will be 39 in Sept so feel clock is ticking, my DS is 16mths old and happened v quickly so am now panicking that something must be wrong, stupid I know but you know what it's like when you want something you get v impatient!

Hope ur cocktail is nice and hey, it ain't over till AF shows so you never know! X

Katybear123 · 01/07/2014 23:19

Hi ladies so. Ice to hear how you are all doing. I'm day 51 still no af went to dr on day 50 and he reassured me this is quiet normal and that it's likely my ovaries are waking up having been on the pill for 17 yrs. I have horrid period type cramps and feel awful teary just wish af would arrive. Meanwhile we r continuing to dtd but not as regularly roughly every 4 days do u think this is enough? It's so tiring to keep doing it all the time :-(

Sarahg1 · 02/07/2014 07:26

Sat on the train surrounded by at least one person who reeks of stale cigarette smoke and I feel nauseous. that's a symptom right? What do you mean that's just disgusting and anyone would gag at that?? back to clutching at straws.... Confused Sad Sad

ladyflower23 · 02/07/2014 08:16

Morning everyone!
Don't worry newbie You are in with an excellent chance with DTD on both your peak days. If it's any help I was feeling quite positive about last month and got BFN so not sure our intuition is any good when it comes to this!
Katybear sorry to hear still no AF and you are feeling so crappy. Does sound as though it could be on the way though. You are in with a chance DTD every 4 days. I think 2-3 is the optimum, but who wants to do that it much (apart from Redbunny Wink)?! That's why I've gone onto OPKs now. Might be that you have now ovulated if you are cramping anyway, sounds as though something's happening Smile
Oh bound to be a symptom sarah I'm getting them pre-ovulation this month -impressive!
EWCM and another high fertility this morning so getting fingers crossed for surge either this arvo or tomorrow. DTD last night to regenerate DH's spermie and get some in the tubes ready he he...

RedBunny · 02/07/2014 08:33

Yes Ladyflower you should get your solid smiley soon! Exciting!
And newbie is for sure in with a good chance.
And Sarah you are too, really, sperm can live for up to a week apparently so you never know. Also I've heard about people getting pregnant from having sex once or twice the whole month. I was very 'grr how unfair!' To hear it but it does happen.
Katybear I'm sorry it's taking so long to get back to normal!! Which pill were you on?

RedBunny · 02/07/2014 08:41

And Ladyflower really.... I'm only a sex pest before ovulation! After that I really lose interest.... Poor husband!
You know the closer I'm getting to be able to test the more worried I feel! It's scary!!
