I promised myself I'd give myself a break from TTC number 2 for a couple of months - but as I approach ovulation this weekend I'm not sure I can help myself Wink

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Maybe we can get lucky together...

I'd say from today but you're right dtd every other day will have you covered. Good luck!

mrsfazruns · 21/03/2015 14:23

Thanks melon .... Having a positive attitude this month x

surferchic41212 · 21/03/2015 20:51

Melon, I'm with you. Still no ewcm and no peak ov.. Still waiting.... Good luck to everyone else!

MelonMelon · 21/03/2015 21:20

it's so frustrating isn't it surfer! No more OPKS after this month, I'd rather not know! I have just spent a lovely evening with my friend's 3 and 1 year olds so I'm hoping the broody hormones will wake my ovaries up!

surferchic41212 · 21/03/2015 21:34

I have two more sticks, then not gonna bother again- too much hassle! Just gonna dtd as much as possible through the whole month! Hope everyone else's ov rubs off on us! (As it were...) Wink

If it's worth anything, I got pregnant with my son after 8 months of trying, after ditching opks - which I never got a positive on, by traking my cervix and cervical mucus instead.

I read a great book by Toni weschler called taking charge of your fertility. It really helped me to get pregnant.

I've heard that's good mumtoason.. Will have to check it out.. And nice to hear that OPK isn't the only way.. It gets me down if I overthink it..

MelonMelon · 22/03/2015 16:49

Negative opk again today, only one stick left that I'll use tomorrow so hope I get a smiley. So frustrating!

mrsfazruns · 22/03/2015 18:06

So after positive OPK's fri and sat got a temp rise this mornin so looks like my little egg has started its journey!! Here's hoping that it's all fertilised and ready to stick for a perfect wee Christmas baby!!

honeysucklejasmine · 23/03/2015 07:47

I am officially 3dpo today. Hopefully the egg is fertilised and on it's way. Fx for a sticky one!

jellypi3 · 23/03/2015 09:07

I'm 3/4 DPO (FF thinks I ovulated on Thursday, I think I ovulated Friday) so in two week wait now!

mrsfazruns · 23/03/2015 09:21

Love having other people who are in the tww ..... It drives me mad and DH gets sick of me talking about it!! Im in 2dpo and keeping everything crossed!! Hope all your eggs are sticky x

MelonMelon · 23/03/2015 09:24

I'm in the 2ww now too but how can i work out how many dpo I am when I never got a positive opk? Confused!

jellypi3 · 23/03/2015 09:28

i only know because I temp (don't use OPK's as I don't trust them that much).

mrsfazruns · 23/03/2015 11:51

I started using opk's in dec and find them confusing and this month IVE actually managed to remeber to chart my temp and can see why it's so reliable!! Hopefully it will work but would def recomended doing it to get that definite answer x

MissMalteser · 23/03/2015 17:58

Well I am guessing I'm in the tww, opk showed a positive for ovulation on Thursday and Friday but have had zero ewcm which is so confusing because it's usually plentiful at around this time of the month, I'd it possible I've missed it? Tmi coming up but with doing the deed so much it's hard to tell what's what Blush af due next Friday so I am hoping this week passes quickly!

epskie · 23/03/2015 18:58

I'm in the 2ww but I'm not sure where exactly :-/ positive opk on Wednesday, dtd Wednesday and Thursday, how far into the 2ww am I, can anyone explain to me please?

I'm driving myself crazy with it. I did not realise how obsessed I'd be x

MissMalteser · 23/03/2015 20:54

Hi epskie, I'm the same! To keep myself sure I am counting the tww to be the two weeks before af is due, I am due next Friday so am guessing im 3 days in, you sound not too far off me if you're on a 28 day cycle?

epskie · 23/03/2015 21:45

Hi MissM it's hard for me to track my af at the minute as I had a mc in December but needed an erpc 3 weeks ago :-( so I'm only going from my opk result really and when we had sex.
I think you and I are at almost the same point, fingers crossed for us!! Flowers

piercedprincess · 24/03/2015 07:18

Am due to ovulate sometime during the next three to four days, cross your fingers for me this month as I have been trying to conceive for a year and half now, hoping this will be my lucky month. I would so love a Christmas baby, one born on 25th December would be the best Christmas present I could ever ask for.

mumtoason87 · 24/03/2015 08:46

I'm ovulating later than I anticipated, based on EWCM today or tomorrow is going to be my peak day.
So I won't be able to think about testing until two weeks from now.
I'm thrilled so many lovely ladies are here sharing their journeys. Star

So excited about all the Tww's .... The waiting is a killer!! X

surferchic41212 · 24/03/2015 21:23

Finally had a peak on OPK! Wahoo! Will be into TWW in next day or so..

mrsfazruns · 25/03/2015 07:03

That's great surferchic!! I'm 4dpo and can't wait to see if March is the month x

MissMalteser · 25/03/2015 15:50

So the tww is officially driving me crazy! I am 6/7 dpo and have had to delay my usual tesco delivery order from Friday to Sunday so I'm not tempted to use the first response I've added to the basket Blush
Can I ask how everyone feels about alcohol in the tww? I have a big night out planned on Saturday and feel I am in limbo in regards to whether I can have a glass or 2 of wine, my friends will be so suss if I don't and it will be too soon to tell until Monday! So confused
