Oh, and when I got my BFP, we'd DTD every day from cd10 to cd24. It was known as the DTD marathon on that bus! Every other day hadn't worked so we tried that! Hasn't worked well since, although I did have two annovulatory cycles after the chemical.

The doctor at the EPU said that every day has a slightly higher statistical success rate due to fresh sperm and catching the 12 hour egg. As with anything though, stats can be interpreted according to the reader Smile

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 21:47

detective I was adamant we had to dtd everyday then after ovu Latin dtd every other day.
As it was I ovulated later than I thought and we conceived from every other day :)

I'm going to bed as this is driving me crazy.

Pretty sure I may actually be on 8 dpo but let's not think about that.

Night!

And sorry kurama, didn't see your post. Big hugs and I hope you feel better soon xxx

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 21:49

I am losing the plot!!!

*ovulation
Not ovu Latin...

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 21:53

X-post. Shit kurama - do you really think you've had a ruptured cyst? You poor poor thing. Have an early night and I hope DH looks after you. Can you see a doctor tomorrow? Thanks

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 21:56

Treacle I think you ovulated when ff tells you you did, with a classic fallback rise. Let me get my chart and show you to see if you want to compare xx

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 22:01

Thank you kitty :) let's compare!
I read about a fallback rise but it said it was only one day?

TheDetective · 08/07/2014 22:01

Oh those charts look interesting!

I might give DTD a miss tonight, although I will feel cross if I then ovulate tomorrow before we get a chance to DTD!

I did the OPK at 4.30pm, there was no other line than the control test line. Does that mean I'm unlikely to get a positive tomorrow?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/07/2014 22:02

Dectective.... you do know that dtd too much can be detrimental to dh/dp's sperm quality/quantity?? They need at least 24 hours to charge up again Wink

Spinning - I'm hoping if I get good enough I can sell some stuff on ebay!

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 22:04

Awww Frig! I put it on the wrong thread!!

Repeat:
Now this is a weird chart Treacle - I have no idea what's going on Grin
can you tell which two consecutive days I got really drunk???!!!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 22:05

Hehe, isn't it funny how it affects our temps!

Yours looks obvious where you ovulated though :)
And FF agrees. My chart has dotted lines because it doesn't know what's happening!

OP posts:
TheDetective · 08/07/2014 22:07

Yep, but the small problem is that not all deposits are ending up where I bloody want them! Hence the 3 times... oh dear. This is sooooooo TMI!

We did manage just the once last night after the 2 empty orgasms!

I will try to give it him a rest tonight Grin.

Maybe we could DTD as soon as I finish work tomorrow?!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 08/07/2014 22:09

Treacle did you drink on the friday night?? If you did I might be inclined to think you ovulated later.... Not sure though. I think drinking around ovulation can really screw a chart up. My temps are massively affected by alcohol

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 22:14

No Detective - you could very well get a positive OPK tomorrow. The LH surge is a tricky thing-likes to be different!!!!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 22:15

I did but I wouldn't have thought I'd had enough to affect it. I also drank the next night and it went down :/
I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see :(

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 22:17

Argh thinking about it I did have more than normal that night. I so hope I didn't ovulate later :(

OP posts:
TheDetective · 08/07/2014 22:19

I wondered if I might get a faint line prior to getting a strong one! I've got 4 more tests... is it worth doing them 12 hourly, or just daily? :)

sparkle17 · 08/07/2014 22:20

oh this charting looks complicated.

Sorry you not feeling great Kurma I'm hoping your symptoms are related to a bfp rather than a repeat rupture cyst. Hope your appetite returns tomorrow. Maybe an early night for you?

ILiveOnABuildsite · 08/07/2014 22:23

Thank you for the new thread Treacle

Marks place.

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 22:24

I did read that you can have an secondary oestrogen surge around 1-3dpo and then progesterone can slowly take over-might account the step up after the drop on 2dpo. It's what I thought might be happening to me. You said you had headaches around then didn't you? I did too. Can be a sign of that happening or bollox of course

Ho hum. We'll soon find out won't we?!

Treaclepie19 · 08/07/2014 22:28

Haha that's true kitty :)

Only thing is, if I did ovulate later it explains why af isn't here.

Oh dear. Definitely hoping for an answer tomorrow. Come on bfp

Anyway night night all xxx

KittyVonCatsington · 08/07/2014 22:29

It's not too tricky sparkle You just take your temp, record the result on an app like fertility friend and it does it all for you! As you can see, however, it is something else to agonise over Grin

bellaboo88 · 08/07/2014 22:37

Just dropping in to shake my pom POM's!

Feel rather rotten ATM, ms has got me :-(

Don't u all forget, I got my bfp on cd34 on a cycle with no of pain/ewcm! I'd reverted to 27-34 day cycles too.

I'm still thrown by it. Only DTD on cd14/16/18&20.

Good luck for those who are ready to poas, I miss the pics! Xx

sparkle17 · 08/07/2014 22:47

Yes, it certainly seems another thing to worry about Kitty. I like my long lies too much to temp.
