Don't want to bring the thread down, but i feel like I need a bit of a grumble Sad

So dh got home on my cd14. We dtd. He then fell asleep every night (jet lagged) til cd18 when we dtd again. I had a positive opk on cd16 & cd17. He knew exactly when I ov as he asked me! So I feel a bit pissed off with him that he couldn't make the effort for our only shot!! I get that he was tired, I'm not heartless Grin but every other time we tried, he was more enthusiastic, and he's always wanted to dtd lots around ov. We dtd cd21 (last night) but even that took some persuading.
He said today that we better hope Thursday's shag was a lucky one!
Maybe I'm being unreasonable. I probably haven't been quite as obsessed as this before Grin

So I guess I'm 5dpo, and absolutely no symptoms to report. Hmm.

Grumble away Wee. My DH is struggling to properly understand why this time it matters so much more to me than previously. He understands, but he doesn't really get it.

simplydivine05 · 28/09/2015 13:41

Thank you Rose, maybe I'm not ovulating when I think am. I will just continue dtd until further notice (or as long as the oh is willing and able!). Speaking of which, we dtd last night and it was feeling a bit chore like. Every other day is exhausting and I'm going to burn out!
My oh doesn't understand why I poas at 8dpo. He didn't know the fulls ins and outs of baby making and timing until a couple of months ago though. He nearly fell over when I told him my egg only lives for a day. He thought I had been on the wine again and insisted I was wrong! Men! That's why we have mn!

Vikkijayne2507 · 28/09/2015 14:02

Soo my first symptom to report and obsess over 7 days post ov is pink spotting. Never had it with Ds so trying not to get too excited

Hi there,

Please can I join in?

Age 34
TTC#1
Cycle 1
Still not sure about all of these acronyms - is ETD the estimated test date? If so not sure how to work that out, but date of next cycle would be 30/10 if that is the same?

Terrified and excited...good luck everyone! x

3Princes99 · 28/09/2015 18:27

Moaning is what we are here for Weechops. I can understand your frustration with dh. If this is your only shot till next year (if you decide to try Again) then he's not done as much as he can. Dtd on Cd14 and ov on cd17 is still a pretty good chance and if the egg lasted the 24 hours then cd18 would also be a good try. Not long now.....I'm getting really nervous Sad

JellyBaby26 · 28/09/2015 20:10

I'm the same as chat. Dh gets that I'm desperate to be pregnant but doesn't REALLY understand.
(Our stories are verrrry different- I have an 18 week old severely disabled child)
We only dtd once and I didn't have OPKs then I was just going on ewcm.
Have secretly got my hands on OPKs and PTs since so if not successful this time I will be testing daily next month and forcing sex upon him which he will not like as he finds it very unromantic!

3Princes99 · 29/09/2015 11:23

10dpo-BFN gutted, I had lines by now with my others Sad

obsessedlex · 29/09/2015 11:39

Oh Princes I'm sorry, but remember every pregnancy is different and you are not out till the witch shows!! Fx

I'm trying trying trying not to test until I am officially late..... my latest tactic (this has worked for 3 days!) is to not bring the pregnancy tests into the house, i ordered some from ebay and they were delivered to work and I have left them in the car.... cunning hey, take that you symptom spotting lune - boom Grin!!

Ovia says 2 more days to wait......

simplydivine05 · 29/09/2015 13:05

I also would like to wait until I'm late. I'm only 4/5dpo right now though so that may change. Concentrating on my passing my driving test will take me through to 7/8dpo and after that I may well turn into a poas, symptom spotting lune myself!

obsessedlex · 29/09/2015 13:18

Good luck simply I'm sure you will be too busy whizzing around!

Vikkijayne2507 · 29/09/2015 13:24

I had to drag myself from testing today i have a few ics but i managed it, convinced myself that if i had implantation bleeding a couple of days ago i need to let the hormones increase enough to be read, realllly wanted to poas must wait mussssst wait help ladies not to poas yet

KittyandTeal · 29/09/2015 13:56

I think I'm 3 dpo. My opk showed surge fri so I will have ovulated sat latest (if at all) I've had a stinking cold with a high temperature so my bbt is all over the place.

I may have not ovulated this month or temp is just off because of cold. Would anyone mind taking a look if I attached my chart.

I really hope it's just the cold. Yet another pregnancy announcement. My nct friend who's dd1 is a day older than my dd2. She's managed 3 in the time I've had 1 and my late loss. Fuck sake!

lilygirl81 · 29/09/2015 14:24

Kitty Flowers so sorry about your baby bomb, nothing makes those better. I'm rubbish at charting, trying again this month but keep forgetting, so I'll be no help to you, but sure the others will be able to help.

Vikki Well done on managing to hold off, fingers crossed you get a lovely line when you do poas.

Simply good luck with your test, stay away from the symptom spotting!!

Princess It's not over yet, still time for the line to show up

JellyBaby26 · 29/09/2015 14:32

I POAS this morning, CD27 and 10DPO i think and got a BFN. I don't know why i did it really as i know I'm not pregnant but the test was in the cupboard!

BindiBarbarella · 29/09/2015 14:46

Ah Jelly sorry. When is AF due? You're not out until your out!! I'm due AF tomorrow...fx she doesn't arrive and I get a BPF instead. Vikki I'm impressed at your restraint - how many days have you to wait now?

JellyBaby26 · 29/09/2015 14:59

well i think she's due on Thursday. Thats if i have a 28 day cycle, but i have no idea as this is first cycle since DD was born.

Have been having cramps so am almost certainly out, but will be ordering OPKS for next cycle!

LondonGirl83 · 29/09/2015 15:12

Hi Ladies,

Can I please join?

Stats:
London
TTC #1
Cycle 2
AF due tomorrow or October 1st but as I have short cycles, I’ll be due to test again on the 26th of October

Good luck every one!!

LondonGirl83 · 29/09/2015 15:14

Sorry Jellybaby—you’re not out until AF arrives though! Fingers crossed the witch stays away.

ChatEnOeuf · 29/09/2015 16:23

Kitty Flowers They suck I know.

Jaffacakey · 29/09/2015 16:29

CD12 and due to Ovulate in the next couple of days been DTD every other day since CD8 so hopefully i will manage to catch the egg and will join everyone in the two week wait :)

lilygirl81 · 29/09/2015 17:01

Jaffa that sounds promising Smile

Jaffacakey · 29/09/2015 17:12

I hope so :) hopefully we will get our BFP or AF before we go on holiday so i will know whether i can drink etc

LondonGirl83 · 29/09/2015 17:17

I admire you EOD ladies. I just don't have it in me! Every 3 days or so is the best I can muster after 12 years??. We manage that through the entire cycle though so hopefully that helps as I'm never sure when I'm ovulating

Jaffacakey · 29/09/2015 17:22

It's hard work towards the end of the month, it starts somewhat romantic and then looses that by the two week wait
