So my AF has arrived today but looking forward to having another go at TTC for a baby in November 2019.

Cycle: 4
Age: 34
CD: 1

Anyone else want to join in the same position as we try to get through this next cycle together?

@MrsP4 sorry about the bfn!

So after my rogue 7 days I have just finally had a positive opk! I was dtd every day for two weeks up till Friday, do you think if I dtd tonight and tomorrow night that should cover it?

ale2992 · 25/02/2019 20:25

Ok I caved and tested, I think I see a SUPER almost non existent line but the other half disagrees and thinks I'm reaching 😩😩
I'm telling myself either way I'm not out yet until af comes but I'm now feeling like I'm getting pms cramps and back ache 👎🏻👎🏻

PyjamasForever · 25/02/2019 22:56

Good luck testing tomorrow @ale2992

I've been really sure if we should DTD every day or every other day so I'm aiming for something between. Every day if it works out like that, but if we miss the odd day here and there I'm not worrying about it. @SuziQ10 so I would t leave it until Friday, but if your DH wants tonight off I wouldn't worry about it.

Zarara · 26/02/2019 07:01

@ale2992 fingers crossed! I’m 7dpo today so think I’ll start testing on Friday.

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 07:10

So I tested again just now, I think I can see a very faint again but other half disagrees and say there's nothing there. This is making me annoyed at him!
If I compare today's test with yesterday I can 100% see a line but he is insisting there is nothing on either...
Not ruling myself out or letting this drag me down, 11dpo so I'm not out until af comes, which is Friday.

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 07:23

Ha, he has now doubted himself and come back for another look, he says if you hold it directly under the light and compare it to the other he admit he can also see a faint line!!
Going to test again in few days and try to not get my hopes up...

Rach031 · 26/02/2019 07:56

Fingers crossed for you @ale2992 I’m joining late if that’s okay
Ttc #1
32
CD 26
Cycle 13
I’m not going to test until AF is due which is 3rd March, felt down with the disappointment each month currently first month using pre-seed I’ve also had day 2 and 21 blood tests my progesterone levels showed low on day 21 and dp has sperm analysis appointment today at the clinic. Baby dust to all

MrsP4 · 26/02/2019 10:47

AF has arrived here! Never mind it's my birthday on Friday so atleast I can get drunk! 😂

Peachyx2505 · 26/02/2019 10:51

Sorry af came MrsP xx

Any pics Ale2992? Xx

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 10:53

@Peachyx2505 No unfortunately not I didn't have time to take a decent one before rushing off to work. I doubt it would have shown in a photo though

Peachyx2505 · 26/02/2019 11:32

Keeping everything crossed for you xx

dragonmummy17 · 26/02/2019 11:47

@MrsP4 sorry AF came.
@ale2992 fingers crossed you get a darker line next time
I got a peak opk yesterday so now in tww. We dtd every day. We only missed the first day with the flashing smiley as DH was out

If I got the peak opk last night does today count as 1dpo? AF is going to be due earlier now... I think 10th March

WildFlower2019 · 26/02/2019 15:06

Hi everyone,

@MrsP4 Sorry to hear AF came. Happy Birthday, I hope you have something nice planned x

@ale2992 I do hope it’s the start of a BFP for you. Let us know when you next test!

@chanel05 YOU DTD EVERY DAY FOR 2 WEEKS?!!!! After DTD every other day for a few days and then a couple of days on the trot my DH and I were both DONE. haha. You both deserve a medal! Have you come to a conclusion on what’s going on? Do you think you’ve ovulated twice? If

@SuziQ10 @VixFitz advice is that every other day is sufficient. Unless your DH has a sperm-related problem, DTD every day is OK but it only results in a slightly higher chance of conceiving than DTD every other day. (37% vs 33%). They have all the stats in this study by The American Society for Reproductive Medicine here: www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(13)00790-5/fulltext#sec2

My update is that I think I’m 6dpo today judging by cramps/spotting and CB digital OPKS. My apps think I'm 5dpo.

I’ve had a few sharp shooting pains and really sore nipples today, but experience over the last few months have taught me that symptoms can mean everything and nothing, haha. So I won’t be reading anything into it.

Not sure when to test. Logically, I should start at the weekend when I'm around 10/11dpo. However, I know I'm a POAS addict and will start tomorrow morning with some cheapies.

@wildflower2019

Did you dtd every day when you got a static smiley face on the opk or when you had a flashing smiley face?

@WildFlower2019 I love you for saying that!!

veeboo · 26/02/2019 17:32

@ale2992 I can see it! @WildFlower2019 looks like you've done all you can there! X

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 17:38

@veeboo Yes! Can't just be my line eyes then!?

veeboo · 26/02/2019 17:59

@ale2992 no not just you! could you maybe wait again til Friday and hopefully get a clearer line?

stitchwitch84 · 26/02/2019 18:39

@ale2992 I can see it! How exciting!

I'm going mad with suspense. 12dpo, period due today and I have all the symptoms I had back when I was pregnant in Nov - feeling nauseous, headachy, extra-sore boobs, weird sense of smell and oddly off my food (hungry but the idea of food turns me off!). Basically I feel pregnant again! But BFN yesterday, and since I miscarried before I'm too highly aware of the risks of early pregnancy loss to get excited…but I want to know!!! Going to resist testing until Thursday to avoid further disappointment - by then either AF will show up or a line will!

So frustrating waiting, though!

Zarara · 26/02/2019 21:27

@ale2992 I can see it in the middle pic!

@mrsp4 sorry about af

I’m 7dpo today going to test on Thursday at 9dpo

Peachyx2505 · 27/02/2019 01:05

@ale2992 I can see it on all three pics, without squinting and I'm on my 4th night shift in 6 days!!! Fingers crossed it gets darker 🤞💕

No update here.... still not ov'd yet. Should do over the weekend/Monday 🤞🤞

Chanel05 · 27/02/2019 09:24

@WildFlower2019 oh lord no! We dtd every other day for two weeks and then a bonus 2 in a row. I feel well and truly done though!!! I use soy isoflavones and I think it delayed my ovulation so I won’t use them agsin(hopefully I won’t need to!)

Did you do a cheeky test this morning?

Pinkelephant12 · 27/02/2019 09:41

Hi ladies can I join?!

TTC #1
Cycle 5
CD 18/1DPO

Finally got my first positive OPK 2 days ago 5 days later than last month, actually thought it was never going to happen. Think OH was relieved two after 9 days straight dtd (although I am going to try for tonight for luck 😂).

I so hope it happens this month, my DSS and GF are getting their dating scan this week so will be announcing to the rest of the family along with scan pictures being everywhere I just don’t know if I can take another disappointment and put on a brave face again 😫
