End of August bus

[Sophieb15]

Hey guys decided to make an end of August bus as there is already an August bus and by the time we get to the middle of aug we will need a new one anyway and it will keep us all around the same time in our cycles.

My stats
TTC no 2
Cycle 7
CD 1
AF/BFP due 25th August
Age 29(30 in 10 days 🙈)

@Tamalama @mrssunshinexxx @sao81 @Lauralozzle @flossy12
What does everyone do after DTD Stay lying down? how long? Legs up??

@Sophieb15 I don't do anything in particular...usually lie down for a bit but more because i'm a bit tired

@mumofbun when I'm not TTC I get up and go to the toilet straight away but when I'm TTC I feel like I need to lie down for as long as I can 🙈🙈🙈

@Sophieb15 legs up for 10 min xx

@mrssunshinexxx it's so crazy that we have to think about this stuff and our OH's just have to get the job done and not think about anything else. I've just informed OH to rest up as he will need his energy for 5 days of DTD.

So I'm on CD 14 and my ovulation is predicted for CD 24 but I'm expecting it earlier as my cycle was long last month and may have off set the app a little... anyway I'm feeling abit hormonal these past few days and I haven't even really been thinking about TTC to be symptom spotting. Felt a bit headachy and sickly.... anyway I'm so sorry if this is TMI but me and my Husbands DTD on weds and last night there was quite a bit of discharge... abit like EWCM but I wasn't sure if it was.... well you know! Anyway today there's been a bit more! I really didn't want to do ovulation tests but with my predicted fertile window still being just under a week or so away we haven't been DTD that much and now I'm worried I may have missed it!! Ahhhhhh! Nightmare!!!

@november90 If you are seeing EWCM get busy now. You normally O after you see EWCM. I get it for a few days before and the day after.

@Sophieb15 Yep legs up in the air for me too for about 10 minutes as well.

@november90 as soon as you see ewcm get busy! I had a load last Thursday and got my static smiley on Saturday, so definitely a good indication!

@Sophieb15 I stay in whatever position I am and try give gravity a helping hand 😅😅 legs up if needs be!

My friends took 6 months to fall pregnant and their advice was that her OH put something cold on his testicles (in this case it was a cup of cold water and dangled then in) just before they were DTD and they caught that very cycle!! Apparently it's to do with getting the sperm moving around 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ but hey if it worked for them it's worth a try

@flossy12 OMG if I said that to my OH he would think I was gone mad hahahaha

I'll do the legs up I think too I normally just lie there for 10-20 mins. I've to try make DTD interesting now for 5 days any suggestions

im must be so staange coz i go to the toilet and wipe, coz read it only takes seconds to get to the cervix anyways but if we get to dtd this weekend I will help gravity out this time to up my chances.

fingers crossed

@Sophieb15 my friends said that too when people told them to do it 😅😅 but after waiting 6 months they though anything is worth a try and little one is now nearly 10 months old ☺️ xx

@AmIseeingRight that’s not strange at all! I literally have a little lie down and then do the same - as long as they’re in there then they’re in there right?

I was gonna get some ovulation tests but I really didn't want to go down that road this month... I'm not sure if it was the ewcm or the other but my husband is home tomorrow so will start trying 😬

@lornz congratulations on the BFP, fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean! 🤞

Opk slightly darker this evening - hopefully get a positive opk this weekend or beginning of next week. Cycle day 12 - so need to BD today if I’m sticking with SMEP

I’m off work next week, so plenty of time to relax and not feel stressed!

@Sophieb15 it depends when we’ve DTD - if it’s in the morning and I have work, I don’t have time to lay still

If in evening I lay still, flat, try not to move but I don’t put my legs up in the air cause I think DH would think I’ve lost the plot! Plus, I’d get leg ache! Haha 😂

@Sophieb15, sorry forgot to reply, OH will be around sunday & monday so we can DTD and im due to Ov on monday CD16 so fingers crossed for a good result. I had a good feeling about August

@Sophieb15 I lay on my back with my legs up for a few mins, not sure if its doing anything but worth a go!
@flossy12 thats gonna be me taking ice water to the bedroom next month now😂

I feel like this month is my month, am I going mad? I know its too early to know I just feel like I've caught it this month

Thanks.

Here's hoping the lines get darker 🤞

Great to see a few ppl are feeling positive this month

My static smiley has disappeared this morning we have dtd this evening god knows if it's too late we will see in a couple of weeks xx

I don’t know when to test, HB goes away next Wednesday I will be CD 28 on Wednesday previous cycles (29,27,32) only have 3 months as this is only our 3rd cycle of TTC baby 2. Current CD 23 and 5DPO. Also my mum wants to book a holiday next week for my big birthday travelling in October but if I get a BFP i think I would want to hold off as I was VVVsick with baby 1. Help me?!?!

@sao81 ditto 👏🏼💪🏻😂 I'm going to research it tonight see if there's any truth but it's worked for 2 people I know now xx

@mrssunshinexxx keeping everything crossed for you 😊🤞 x

Hi! I'm brand new to this and bit late to the thread but want to join!!

I have been testing with OPKs since like CD 7ish and then twice a day for the last week and no positive yet any advice from anyone? Is that normal or is it late?

When do you all ovulate?

Thanks!!

@Something20 hi and welcome some I ovulate between cd 15-18 last 6 month so don't feel disheartened and I've a 12 day LP so my cycles are between 27-30 days xx
