Hey all
My tww starts again today. 4th cycle. Just had 2 full days of positive opks and lots of bd with dh.

So let the crazy symptom spotting begin and the madness that is the tww.

Anyone else in the tww - hoping to hear lots of bfp stories xx

Patiently sorry to hear af got you... As you say though, onwards to the next month! Xx

NoArmaniNoPunani · 02/11/2014 11:09

Can I ask some rookie questions please? I'm so new to this. I had the EWCM about 3 days ago (day 11 of cycle) so assumed I was ovulating then. This morning I have what feels like ovulation pains (day 14) my cycle is usually 26 days. We had sex day 13 and 14. Am I getting this all wrong? I'm not stressing about it, it's our first month.

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 12:52

Hey noarmani, did you DTD on the day you got ewcm? That's the best time for the swimmers to get through easily and also doing it a couple of days before ovulation gives you the best chance. Sounds like your body is right on the money with ewcm first then ov pains xx doing it on day of ovulation is still a good chance though so don't lose hope with what I just said xx hope that helps xx

NoArmaniNoPunani · 02/11/2014 13:35

Thanks for your response. We just did it day 13 and 14. I guess we need to do it more from day 10-14 next month then

HairStylistToBoris · 02/11/2014 17:36

Patience - sorry you got your AF. I'm still twiddling my thumbs trying not to invent symptoms. Noarmani - fingers crossed the dates worked for you somehow this month!

loopylou1984 · 02/11/2014 19:25

So still no bfp or af for me... This is so odd.
Calling gp for appointment in the morning.

loopylou1984 · 02/11/2014 19:27

Noarmani - I don't think you're out of the running yet. The day before ovulation gives you more than a good chance. Fingers crossed for you Smile

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 19:36

You never know noarmani, any DTD before and during ovulation is good DTD Grin you'll slowly get to understand your body as you go along and you might be a first try, BFP straight away kinda gal xx fx for you xx

NoArmaniNoPunani · 02/11/2014 20:20

Thanks. What's the best plan for the shagging then? Every day around ovulation or every other day?

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 20:39

Well.... Some websites say that doing it everyday doesn't give a man chance to replenish so lower sperm count and they say every other day is more than enough to catch that egg anyway so I tend to go with that! But a lot of couples do get pregnant from doing it every dsy ( maybe he has a higher sperm count anyway) so it depends on your own personal situation I guess XXX

loopylou1984 · 02/11/2014 20:54

We go for every other day, it tends to get too much if we go for every day, especially if I ovulate late for some reason.

TheProofIsInThePudding · 02/11/2014 21:04

We did every other day (ish - more like once every three days) until I got a positive OPK. We then did three consecutive days, skipped a day, and did one more for luck. It seemed like a reasonable compromise.

11 more days of waiting for me. Imaginary symptoms today: an itchy left boob.

Aprilray · 02/11/2014 21:14

I think in the last 11 months DH and I have gone through every combination of DTD...I think DTD every day is hard work so we tend to do it EOD mid cycle.

Aprilray · 02/11/2014 21:16

Sam, hope you manage to get an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully you get a blood test so they can let you know what's going on.

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 21:28

10 days to wait for me and sometime next week I'll start crazy symptom spotting, its all fun and games Smile

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 21:30

Its strange because I have mostly read that you should get AF 14 days after ovulation but I really think mine is only 12 due to the slightly shorter cycle, anyone else different from the norm? X

Aprilray · 02/11/2014 21:36

10-16 days is normal for a luteal phase Mumwannabe so 12 days is just fine.

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 21:53

Oh good, thought I was just being weird in my cycles lol xx

tootssw17 · 02/11/2014 21:55

Hi all- I think maybe perhaps am in 2 ww but still irregular post bc. Am I allowed to join?

Did our best to dtd lots but think I ahem got confused with his swimmers and ewcm - Blush so doing 2ww according to Ovid app as best I can go on... 13/14 th nov if that's ok.
Don't think will have many symptoms as don't get much for AF other than cramo I.e no boob surge no long term spotting no warnings!

But. I have lost marbles if that helps?

Mumwannabe82 · 02/11/2014 21:57

Anyone who has lost their marbles whilst TTC are definitely in the right place here Grin

HairStylistToBoris · 02/11/2014 22:53

Toots, I am with you on being confused and my marbles having been well and truly lost. We had a brilliant month this month with DSD wakeing up at all key moments... And even walking in on us 'having a cuddle' on a peak day. I'm not holding out much hope for a positive outcome (and trying not to blame DSD) but I'm desperate so imagining any symptom...

CrazyCatMomma · 02/11/2014 23:59

AF due on Wednesday. Bloating for Britain today. Pretty sure it will be a BFN as this feeling is so familiar...

loopylou1984 · 03/11/2014 08:26

Hi April, no luck with drs appointment and still a very definite bfn... At this point I'm fairly sure I'm not pg...

CrazyCatMomma · 03/11/2014 09:39

Sorry to hear that Sam, keep trying! Maybe November will be your lucky month.
