[Sshsecretenclosed]

Ttc #1 month 13 here and willing to try anything! Been reading up on Sperm meets egg plan - anybody had any joy??

Congrats @kats!! Giving us all hope! :) got positive opk this morning so my 3 days in a row starts now... glad it's a weekene, that works out well! I don't seem to have ewcm yet so I hope that fertility gel from Boots works... going to give it a try! Fx SMEP does the job too! 😊

@Sshsecretenclosed same here not got a proper positive opk yet cd12 fx for next couple of days only dtd yesterday so going to keep every other day. That said had some ewcm yesterday so not sure whether to dtd tonight or skip a night argh! @surreygirl1987 sorry to see you here again because I thought it was your month however nice to see a friendly face here. Starting not to recognise many names now as all getting bfps which is great but I was sad last week but feeling more positive now esp trying smep again!

[Mizzworthy1]

Problem with this method is that you're meant to do it the night before night of and night after ovulation... But if you're not entirely sure when that day will be it's difficult innit!

[surreygirl1987]

@Ownpatrol let's hang in there... it will be our turn soon... I'm feeling more positve this month now too... come on SMEP do your thing! :)

Right ladies, there's some great effort and enthusiasm on this thread!! Let's keep on. Positive thinking!! Two days of DTD, three days straight down here! Send lucozade haha

[Mizzworthy1]

Can I do a frustrated post? I don't want to bring everyone down... Post is so positive x

[NelleB]

I am half way into my tww and it's killing me not to poas... lots of symptoms but super spotty and I never am. Could just be PMS but it's a week off! X

Mizz this post is real!! Feel free to!!!

[surreygirl1987]

Confused... got positive opk yesterday morning and dtd last night as firat day of 3 days in a row... but no appearance of ewcm at all AND my temp rose when I got up this morning! Have I already o'ed? Annoying if so!!

Our bodies really are mysterious things aren't they Surrey!

Hi ladies mind if I join? Been lurking for a while as also doing SMEP. Had my first positive opk today, so commencing the 3 days straight tonight. I seem to be ovulating later than usual this month as currently on cd19 and have been DTD every other day since day 8!! My clear blue dual hormone has had flashing smileys for 9 days in a row and finally today got a static. Poor DH is already exhausted I think, hope he can manage the 3 days!

[Pumpkin18]

Hi when you say dtd 3 days once you get a positive opk do you mean when you get a flashing smiley on the opk monitor or when you get static ie ovulating the next day?

[surreygirl1987]

Hi @pumpkin I took it as the static smiley but now I'm wondering if that has been my downfall this month!

[Sshsecretenclosed]

Welcome Bella! I too have been using the cb dual hormone. I am 2/3 of the way through DTD following a static smiley.

[HellaBella0]

@Pumpkin18 I’m taking it from the static. I also use the cheapy sticks and today was also the first day I got a positive on that. I might not bother with the cb dual hormone next month as doesn’t really help me as the cheapies seem to be just as reliable

[Pumpkin18]

@Hellabella0 I got positive on cheaper and cb today too! Happy baby making!

HI all,
Ttc 2 for a year now. Both 27 with a 2 year old. Have tried on many occasions to do smep but sleep deprivation wins mostly.
I usually get positive opk on day 14, of a 25 day cycle. Currently cd 10 and I have watery cm...
we dtd last night plan on again today and so on I’m very optimistic and a little deflated.
We’re both on pre natal vits I’m a little over weight so I am trying to loose a bit as well so we have embarked on healthy eating. I have a feeling it’s karma for falling so quickly with my first!

[Cupcakesandlove]

I know dtd every night isn’t what is suggested but I’m willing to do anything

[Brownbear84]

Worked for us!! First month too xx

[Mizzworthy1]

Panicking. It's day 17 and still no ovulation. I'm 38 and having a panic I'm not going to be able to conceive again. Talk me down...

[NelleB]

@Brownbear84 congratulations 💗💙👶🏻

[NelleB]

@Mizzworthy1 I don't ovulate until day 20/21, how long is your cycle? Mine is 35 days x

[Owlpatrol]

@surreygirl1987 same here had sort of ewcm cd9 but still not had positive opk and only managed to dtd once

[Mizzworthy1]

nelleb usually about 28 days... But I usually ovulate on day 17...
