Sperm Meets Egg #2

[Makingawish]

Here's thread #2! I'll add who I can think off the top of my head for now...

@AllHopeAndNoResults @Carley321 @Skyla01 @tinyole @VenusStarr

do we have a link @Makingawish xx

Are people doing this?? No.4. I don't have time to wait for my pee to reach room temp at work, people will think I'm wildly ill!

Lol @GoodCow I never do! Today is CD18 and DTD again tonight then the plan is complete. Tempted to try and keep going every other a little longer in case there's an issue with my OPK test not being accurate! Will be so disappointed if it hasn't worked for us this morning!! So determined to cover all bases!

@GoodCow ain't nobody got time for that 🤣 I test immediately! I don't think it makes a difference.

On CD8, negative OPK tonight but it's getting darker!! DTD last night and will tomorrow but expecting my peak in the next couple of days. Here we go....

@Goodcow I usually pee 😳 just before I get in the bath so if that’s the case I wait a little bit but usually Nop. I’ve never noticed it make a difference to be honest.

@GoodCow OMG no way, i wip it out and test strait away, I use One Step and never had any problems testing strait away.

Hi all,

This SMEP has been very intense, we were both shattered and DH had a stomach ache last night but we still DTD.
One more time tonight, rest day tomorrow then last chance BD on Sunday. I have never looked forward to the TWW so much LOL.

If this doesn't work I don't think we can stick to it next month, I will try but not do it from CD8 I think.

@SMiles14 hows the move going?

@Carley321 how many DPO are you now?

I'm either 6, 5, 4 or 3 days past ovulation. Which is as clear as mud. Great

@HayleyD84 it’s testing isn't it? It’s so hard to keep up. You should do what you are both comfortable with. To much pressure can be as bad as anything else when ttc.

I am CD28 so about 10 11 dpo I think. Feels like much longer though.

@omikron how’d you work it out? Lol

Well temping just isn't helping me this week for some reason. I keep waking at night so I think it's unreliable hence I have no fucking clue when I actually ovulated.

Im annoyed! Can you tell!!!

🤣 @omikron this is such a trying time... everything about it is ducking annoying! Lol. I hope you get some answers soon.

@Omikron same thing is happening with me. I usually never wake in the night and as soon as I started temping I'm waking at 12am, 2:30am, 4am and then 5am when DH wakes up! Driving me mad! No idea if any of my temps are actually accurate.

@HayleyD84 it is very tiring isn't it? Also just becomes a bit of a chore by 3DPO. We end up not dtd for at least a week after we've finished the plan 😂

Moving has gone very smoothly thank you, just had our traditional dominos and beer that we always have when we move! Love the house, it's a proper grown up house haha! Dh is over the moon to finally have a garage!

I'm cd 11 now and should really dtd but think we might have to skip this evening, so so tired! Will get back on it tomorrow though and I'm a good few days from ov so think it will be fine!

Im so gutted, it should be 3rd night in a row to DTD but DH said his stomach hurts, we SO nearly did the SMEP plan
We struggle to dtd often as we are both tired / poorly or life gets in the way. I'm really shocked we've managed to do as much as we have.

I just wanted to do this plan once! To give us a chance, I know DH can't help it but my heart has sunk tonight I'm so upset

Also regarding temping, I've brought an AVA bracelet, it takes the stress out of temping because it doesn't matter how many times a night you wake up, you just have to make sure you get at least 4 hours sleep a night, doesn't matter if it's broken sleep.

It's really good I'd recommend it x

@HayleyD84 oh how disappointing for you! It's so hard, and by general drs advice you will still have done a lot so your chances are still high. I think most say 2/3 times a week throughout so 🤞🏻
Thanks for the Ava bracelet recommendation, I might look into that, I am getting a bit sick of shoving a thermometer in my mouth every day, feel like a patient!

Isn't the Ava bracelet £250? I'm going to get the ovusense next month as it does actual core temp!

I need some opinions on this please. Based on this, would you say that CD13 at 0.26 was my peak? It’s the highest reading I’ve had over 2 months so maybe it is, even though it’s classed as low?

Temp has been deeply unhelpful:

CD8 37
CD9 37
CD10 37
CD11 36.8
CD12 36.9
CD13 37
CD14 36.8

Hi @GoodCow I don’t know. The lines are usually almost identical on my peak 🤔. But I often have no build up to the peak. So maybe. Ok so I’m no help really, how long did you say you’ve been ttc? And have you ever had a peak using these opks?

I’m feeling so shitty today ladies. Having a proper down and out kind of day.

@Makingawish is the other thread live... I can’t seem to find it.

Hi @Carley321 , do you mean the thread before this one? I didn't make it but it's called Sperm Meets Egg (hopefully) and I can still access it as it's in my 'watched'. I can't link it though because I'm on the app, sorry x

Oh I though you made a new thread because this one was filling up. Lol was wondering where everyone had gone x

@Makingawish

I think I’m literally going crazy @Makingawish. 🙈🤣. How are you anyway?

How is @AllHopeAndNoResults and @tinyole we haven’t heard from you in a while x

@Carley321 I haven't seen a new one if there is one 🙈😄 I'm doing ok! Almost 11 weeks pregnant now but been off work sick the last 4 because morning sickness (which is never of a morning!) is no joke 🤢

I've stayed off this whole forum for a while because all the threads around miscarriage etc were really worrying me. We had a scan at 8 weeks though and that went well 🤞 I think @AllHopeAndNoResults was also taking a break.

I hope you're doing well too xx

That’s lovely. Glad all was ok. Not long until your next one the. @Makingawish 😍. Sorry your suffering with the dreaded sickness though 🙈. Hopefully it will pass before long.

I should probably take a break but I have no idea what I’d end up googling instead 🙈🤣
