Bbt,opk,poas and everything else ban! CD1 here we go.

Ttc #2 on cycle 8 now. Very grateful to have DS who took 10 months of ttc but I’m beyond fed up already.

The romance of dtd has completely gone. I’ve been stressed and anxious and feeling generally crappy. So I’m going to do the exact opposite this cycle of what I have been doing.

No opk, no bbt, no poas. Probably should continue dtd

No real reason but to rant and if I type it I’m more likely to stick to my guns.

I know the feeling of over analysing everything and unromantic scheduled deeds hehe , maybe I need to scrap it all next month!

Good luck

I know that feeling well. I'm sick of trying to manage it all. I stopped concentrating on DTD and took a couple of months to chart everything and it helped. I Temped every day I now know I ovulate day 18 ish so I now only opk on day 15 just to confirm I'm at the right time and low and behold I'm right. Just got to DTD round this time now

Thanks ladies. It just drained me and I don’t feel like myself. I’m similar I ov around day 18 although had a randomly long LP this month but my opk was definitely positive on 18. I’m fed up of thinking about it really.

@Chefwifelife oh I know I'm the same. My other half won't DTD every other day now he says it's regimental so trying to stay positive but that's making me worse

Good luck OP and others! Just wanted to say, I took my bbt religiously for 18months-most of that time to get to know my cycle before ttc (and contraception) and I started using OPKs a couple of months before and then during ttc-knew my cycle inside out each month (pretty regular, but did vary by a day or 2) and whether we DTD at the ‘right’ time that month to be in with good chance etc...I got pregnant on the month I didn’t do any of that 😂 obviously had a vague idea when I was likely to ovulate, but can’t pinpoint it, so fingers crossed for you all!
