Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW

DTD with my partner on Saturday which makes it cycle day 13 for me. I ovulate around cycle day 15/16. So today or tomorrow. I can’t DTD today so I have to stick with my partners swimmers from Saturday. Wondering if I’m still in with a chance this month 😕I know it takes hours for egg to be released and sperm live for a few days but I’m still thinking I’m out. Anyone else in the same boat as me?

@Leobaby I'm good thanks, how are you doing? You was up late/early!

Leobaby · 08/07/2020 13:41

@SK2970 good, pregnancy going ok? I’m doing well thank you! Just been busy with things. Yes lol I don’t sleep till late 3/4am lol, I’m always on YouTube 🤣

@Leobaby I'm all good thank you, just plodding along! Had a couple of pitty days, My sister told me she will probably be trying for no.2 at the end of the year... sooo hoping it happens for us before she has her second!

How are you?

SK2970 · 09/07/2020 10:23

@Leobaby so far so good! Nausea threatening today though!! Are you ready to go again?

@RobinRose fingers crossed it happens for you soon! How is it going this cycle?

RobinRose · 09/07/2020 10:32

@SK2970 ginger is meant to help with nausea! How many weeks are you? Its going okay, trying not to think about potentially being pregnant or anything baby related but it is embedded in my brain! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 don't feel it will be our time this cycle.

SK2970 · 09/07/2020 10:42

@RobinRose I have ginger biscuits at the ready!! I'm 5 weeks + 3days now and most of what I am seeing is it kicks in around 6 weeks!

I get that, hard to take your mind off it!! Need to keep yourself busy if you can Smile how's your partner doing with it all?

Leobaby · 09/07/2020 12:49

@RobinRose good, yes just like me really. Have you had your ov then? And aw bless, yes I can imagine you would want yours by then, fingers crossed for you! Do you feel positive about this cycle or? I’m okay thanks, moods very up and down just don’t know what I’m doing with myself at the moment.

@SK2970 gosh! Hope the nausea doesn’t get too bad for you! And I think I should be ovulating mid next week - not sure if we’re going to try this month!

OP posts:
Leobaby · 09/07/2020 13:13

Lol but of course even though I say we aren’t going to try this month, wanted to see what my cheap opk was saying 😂still wanna know when I ovulate lmao

OP posts:
RobinRose · 09/07/2020 14:04

@SK2970 keep them stocked up! Hope your symptoms don't get too bad! He's alright about it, he has children so I guess it affects him differently. He gets upset/ frustrated when i get upset about it all. Always looks after me when af arrives!
@Leobaby yeah ov has been and gone! No i don't feel positive this cycle at all. I feel the same, very agitated at the moment. Where are you in your cycle?

SK2970 · 09/07/2020 16:43

@Leobaby it's always good to track it, I think, so you can see the trends!! I hope you do get to try this time!!

Leobaby · 10/07/2020 12:59

@RobinRose ah I see why it would probably affect him differently.. that’s still very frustrating for you bless you. Just try and stay as relaxed as you can, I know it’s hard but it will most likely help you. Try things that will keep you feeling positive and good, it will happen when it’s the right time. How many times did you dtd around ov? How many dpo are you now? I’m CD11, I expect to ov some time next week. Just using cheap opks atm, will do a digital tomorrow maybe!

@SK2970 yes that’s what I’m thinking, see if it’s the same time every month! How are you today?

Good afternoon ladies 😁

@SK2970 I am so glad its all going well :) hope you are not feeling too nauseous. Has it properly sunk in yet?
I am feeling pretty much back to normal already luckily and considering trying again this cycle :) although now sure I'm brave enough yet lol

@robinRose I am ok thanks, feeling more positive and have had a nice few days which has helped, although I am in a similar situation with what seems like loads of pregnancy announcements in the past few days, although I'm probably just more aware of it at the moment. I'm super pleased for them still but did have a bit of a wobble if im honest. Hope you are doing well and fingers crossed for you this month ☺️

@Leobaby how are you? Are you taking a break from TTC for a moment then?

I know My DH has never been as enthusiastic about actively TTC as me lol and know he'd rather it just happened than timing it and all, I think its the pressure for him. Could it be similar for your other half?

Thanks for all your support ladies, it's meant alot x

RobinRose · 10/07/2020 13:32

@Leobaby Dtd cd 4, 7, 9 and 12. Had ewcm on cd12. Had some cramps cd13 so think I ovd then! Roughly 7dpo, trying not to count so I don't get fixated on when af should arrive.

Leobaby · 10/07/2020 20:51

@Csari yeah I think so, even though he was excited he still thinks we’re not 100% ready. He has said he would rather it just happen as well, so yeah maybe he’s the same as your other half!

@RobinRose wow 7dpo already! that’s gone quick lol. Ooo so you did it around a good time then. Yes that’s fair enough, I’d be the same. Just gotta stay positive! 💕

OP posts:
RobinRose · 13/07/2020 06:01

@Leobaby it has gone quickly! First week is always a drag. Woke up with a stinking migraine this morning so I guess af will be arriving 😑 fml.

Finally getting my hair cut today so I have something to be excited about 🤣

Leobaby · 13/07/2020 13:44

@RobinRose again?😩funny I’m starting to get use to your af symptoms lol. I hope it’s not af though, but don’t beat yourself up over it if it is. Try and stay as positive as you can. And lovely! I get my hair done Wednesday too so I’m excited about that as well 🤣 nails is next on the list!

How are you @Csari & @SK2970 ?x

OP posts:
SK2970 · 14/07/2020 07:06

@Leobaby I'm very nauseous and extremely tired but all good apart from that! Really not enjoying this part, everyone keeps telling me that it gets better after the first few months but not sure I believe it!! I am expecting it to get worse before it gets better..if it does! I feel guilty for eating too much because I have been conscious of what I eat for so long, I never eat bread and it's all I want at the moment!

How are you all doing?

RobinRose · 14/07/2020 07:56

@Leobaby yep...again! Im not even thinking I could be preggers this month, got all my usuall pre af symptoms.

@Csari so sorry I completely missed your reply! Glad you are feeling okay 🌼! No I know what you mean about the wobbling, I would really like to be the next one to announce but I just can't help but feel we won't be getting there anytime soon.

@SK2970 Doing okay! Just waiting for af to arrive... i am hoping af arrives before the weekend so the pain doesn't ruin my weekend. I love bread, eapecialy proper thick chicken slices of fresh bakery bread (I like the seeded) with lashings of butter or melted mozzarella 🤤 could you be wanting bread because your feeling nauses? Don't feel bad, it is better to eat something rather than nothing, i am sure things will settle down in the next few weeks!

Leobaby · 14/07/2020 13:32

@SK2970 bless you it’s not nice I know. I had a previous pregnancy with HG but I didn’t carry on with it unfortunately. So I know when I do conceive I’m going to look forward to experiencing HG again. How many times are you throwing up? Just making sure it isn’t that severe? Don’t feel guilty it’s completely normal. Toast is the best tho I could eat that all day everyday. Just relax and enjoy your time as much as you can.

@RobinRose bless you.. like everyone says you gotta wait and see. You never know, your pre af symptoms could be the same as pregnancy as everyone is different but I don’t wanna get your hopes up lol. Just want you to stay positive haha!

I wish I did my opk yesterday to see if it was flashing or static, because I’ve done it today and it’s static, along with a cheapie the line looks the same colour. But I’ve got another digital so I’ll do that tomorrow to see if it’s still static or not. Because I know it stays static for 2 says so if it’s static again then I know I still haven’t ovulated lol! But I dtd yesterday so lmao still done it a couple days before ov or maybe 1 day?! I’m terrible. 😂

Leobaby · 14/07/2020 13:33

*2 days

OP posts:
Leobaby · 14/07/2020 13:38

I suppose I could do a cheapie later to see if the line has gone lighter! But if I do ovulate today then jheez.. I dtd yesterday 🙈knowing my luck I’m still out 🤣

Anyone else DTD few days before ov?! 2WW
OP posts:
Csari · 14/07/2020 15:17

Im ok thanks @Leobaby I had my hair done today which made me feel alot more human. Amazing the difference a hair cut can make lol.
Ooh fingers crossed for you then, that timing is really promising.

I think I'm due to ovulate soon but no smiley face for me yet lol, DTD every other day just incase.

Leobaby · 14/07/2020 15:54

Aww lovely! @Csari I can imagine. I get mine done tomorrow I’m excited lol. Yes, we aren’t TTC this month though, I thought I was gonna ovulate tomorrow but I still could still ovulate tomorrow though! Will just keep doing the cheapie ones to see. But still knowing my luck I’ll be out so I’m deffo not gonna symptom spot. Ooo hopefully get your smiley soon, but dtd will have you covered anyway!
