I'm on CD 8 and just about to start the joys of fw and OPKS again for cycle 6 of ttc #1
Anyone else approaching/in fw and got any new tips/ideas you're trying this cycle? Or anything you did different which resulted in BFP? How often if everyone dtd?

Fx LostMyBaubles sounds like you're in with a good chance.

LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 09:35

Did an opk at 4am this morning 🤔 don't ask me why lol
Was still faint
Not got a bfp yet
Will be testing in about an hour again

Didn't dtd last night
Fx for this morning instead lol

I really do hope so. I know things don't go to plan but it's a lot easier if I get to rest for a few days before having to worry about school run etc so would be amazing to fall pregnant this month!

HellaBella0 · 15/12/2017 10:33

@LostMyBaubles if you fell pregnant now your due date would be early September wouldn’t it? That’s what Fertility Friend is telling me?

I think that's right HellaBella i was working out if i got bfp this cycle i'd be due about the 4th of September
My opk today is negative again, definite pos about this time yesterday so when do you think i actually ov'd? Do opks stop picking up lh surge before you actually ov?

OP posts:
LostMyBaubles · 15/12/2017 12:26

I will be induced before due date due to health problems (most likely again)
I was induced at 38weeks last time due to it so hoping it's same this time

I've still not got that bfp just faint

I think the surge is diff at diff times of day

Today is cd14
Dtd this morning
Might surprise hubby tonight lol

surreygirl1987 · 16/12/2017 10:08

So I got a peak on clear blue and dtd this morning. Best to dtd again this eve or tomorrow eve? (Travelling to Germany tomorrow morn)

Also after you've confirmed O with temp rise, do you carry on dtd? Does orgasiming affect implantation?

Currently lying here with legs in air feeling foolish...

LostMyBaubles · 16/12/2017 11:51

It's upto you really.
You have dtd today so how about tomorrow Morning?

We dtd 3x this past 24hours

Hopefully it was the right time lol

goldenmommy · 16/12/2017 12:11

I'm CD6! TTC #1 Cycle 1.
Currently using Flo app and Clue which i've used for about a year just to track my cycle. love these apps, find them pretty accurate.
DTD this morning just in case ;) and as of Monday will be trying sperm meets the egg plan!

FX we all get BFP in the new year! What a way to start 2018 :)

LostMyBaubles · 16/12/2017 17:24

Golden welcome!

This 2ww is going to be hard lol

I think i ovulated either last night (was cd14) or on cd12 as the day before I broke out, ewcm then had pelvic pain on left side.
The opks were stronger then too and are very faint now

surreygirl1987 · 16/12/2017 17:52

@lostmybaubles 3x!!!! Wow!! Lol impressed! Guess I should get on it this eve.... had horrible pains today which I can only guess are ovulation pains... am on cd15. Up at 5am tomorrow morning so that's not going to happen!

LostMyBaubles · 16/12/2017 18:44

I took matters into my own hands lol
Will give him a break for a few days lol

Welcome Golden I hope it's a quick journey for you and yes wouldn't it be an amazing way to start a new year!
Lol LostMyBaubles that's good going, I don't think we've dtd that often since our honeymoon lol. At least you're totally covered!
Surrey if you got peak this morning then I think you could ov any time between this morning and tomorrow night so probably good if you can dtd again tonight.
I'm pretty sure I ov'd yesterday so counting this as 1dpo, dtd again this morning as a last ditch attempt, think dh is relieved fw is over lol, I've been a bit demanding but I just really wanted to make sure we dtd enough this cycle.

LostMyBaubles · 16/12/2017 22:17

Merzz snap!
He doesn't mind all the extra attention etc lol but I'm sure he will like a few days break.

I just wanted to make sure we are covered.

I'm not too sure when I oculated now lol

Cd11 I broke out in spots
Cd12 left pelvic pain, back ache, ewcm
(Think I might have ovulated then?) Had the darkest lines these 2 days
Cd14 I had some more pelvic pain with cramps but had a dodgy tummy too.

My guess is cd12 I ovulated? What do you think

Merrz · 17/12/2017 08:26

Yeah I'd say sounds like cd12 Lost so how many so I are you now?
This is the 1st cycle I actually know I ov'd and when. Almost pos opk cd17, def pos cd18 then cramps cd19 and temp rise morning of cd20 so pretty sure it was cd19.

@LostMyBaubles lol I am a day behind you

Currently cd14 we dtd last night cd13 and I'm sure I felt my right ovary release an egg a few hours later. He's currently still snoring so planning to pounce this morning and again tonight

Looks like me You, @surreygirl1987 are around the same time could be testing early new year!

@Merrz yep I am this month I'll insert a pic in a sec but only cd14 so needs a bit more data

Owlpatrol · 17/12/2017 09:29

I'm a bit worried that we haven't dtd enough before ovulation but I think I ovulated yesterday so going to dtd again at least once today

Anyone in Fertile Week?
LostMyBaubles · 17/12/2017 11:47

I'm cd16 - 4dpo

I almost poas 🤔

I was an absolute pain last month
Picked up a positive early and then it turned neg (3/4 positives)
Most likely to have been a chemical

I've not been temping I think the opks ate stressful enough lol

Owl sounds promising
Dtd as much as possible

Merrz · 17/12/2017 20:51

Owl did you dtd yesterday on ovulation day? I'm a bit worried because we dtd lots in the days leading up to of and the morning of the day after but didn't on actual of day Sad I always seem to time it wrong

OP posts:
Owlpatrol · 18/12/2017 07:28

Yes I think I ovulated Saturday so we dtd Saturday and Sunday and might try again tonight @Merrz however I believe it's the sperms that are meant to already be there when ovulation happens so I think your still in x did you dtd at all before ovulation?

Owlpatrol · 18/12/2017 07:30

Sorry just 're read that yes I think you'll be fine because it's before ov that matters however the opk sticks only tell when there's a lh rise and then egg should be released up to 36 hours after which is why I'm trying for another 3 days past the lh surge x

HanSpan1 · 18/12/2017 07:45

Heres my chart for this month! The 2WW is going to feel like forever!! At least i have xmas to take my mind of it!

Looks like you're definitely covered with dtd HanSpan what day do you think you ov'd?
I actually fx think this is going to be a quick tww for me with xmas and everything, i'm a bit worried now that i'm going to have a longer cycle though since i didn't ov until cd 19
