@Rachael321 I have asked lots of my parent friends how long it took them and for most it was between 6 months and a year. Maybe people get sick of mumsnet after a few months of trying with no success, leaving only the fairly new starters to continue obsess 😁
@fivexfive my holiday was lovely thanks, it went too quickly! I may just sack work off tomorrow, if it's not great news I'm just gonna take a mental health day. Lol.
Love the keeping it exciting on the DTD! Have you tried it both of you blindfolded? We once did this whilst playing monogamy (couples board game) and twas extremely sensual and very good sex!!
@mrsM2017 ttc is so hard, and different for everyone. I'm sure you will be doing all the right things, how often are you DTD? Are you timing it or doing it all month? It's reassuring your blood tests are fine, and you're regular etc, good luck with the sperm analysis (or organising of!).
@lougg aww so pleased for your friend.
Cd34! How frustrating- I guess not much to do but wait it out! Like some have said on precious thread, maybe you have to wait it out and test again next cycle?
Welcome @lozzy25!
@stormtrooperjulian I get ov pains anything from like, a couple of days to a week! Ov could be either day, so count both and DTD today and tomorrow too.
@charm23 my doctor told me every other day is best, as your OH needs time inbetween for the sperm to regenerate, so it's better quality and more likely to swim to where it needs to be. Smep tells you do it 3 days in a row around ovulation but also to have at least 1 days break if having sex more than (I think) 7 days in a row? If you don't know when you ovulate I'd go with every other day and maybe a bit more when you think your fertile week is?
I'm attempting every 2-3 days, but before this I was trying to time it round ov at least once or twice in the days leading up, until my doc told me not to.
