Hi so apparently I'm ovulating in next couple days (according to flo app) and this month round I'm not using any sticks etc as I'm totally fed up of paying out! So doing good old dtd every day for two weeks!!! Anyone similar who wants to pass time with me?!

I'm due to ovulate 1st Nov. Only just started TTC so have been DTD every other day since AF finished. Will DTD every day for 3 days around ovulation and then wait and see what happens!

@MamaMoonbeam hi! Is this your first baby?? I actually have a 17yo 12yo and a10 month old baby! But we have been ttc a 4th from 6 months old! Mostly left it to if it happens however last two months used ovulation sticks etc and they didn't work! Feel like all this temperature stuff and cm is too much for me! I have been very very lucky to conceive very easily however I am 37 now! But my youngest I had implant removed and fell preg after first period! So very lucky! However I am stressing atm as it's been 4 mot about this will be 5th! My app says due to ovulate tomorow! So we have been dtd the past week every day and am going to up today to twice! For next week! As I know the app isn't very reliable 🤣🤣

@lastbany will be my second! Have an 11 yo DS from a previous relationship. I'm 37 too! I have monitored my cycle for 4 years so know it pretty well but TTC and my age has got me all anxious 😬 I bought cheapie OPKs but not sure they're working because they haven't changed much yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

@lastbany Hey! Sorry just having a nose on this post! I'm not due my fertile window till two weeks! I'm
Also trying for my 4th and it's now been 4 months like you which isn't long but as the first 3 happened so easily, to be fair I've never planned any of my children so I've never had the stress of doing OPKs or even thinking about it at the end of the month! However this month I'm not going to do anything and hope for the best 🤣 x

Hey all! 👋
TTC our first baby - been trying for around 5 months now. We sadly had a chemical pregnancy last cycle ☹️😣

Now I'm cycle day 30 and FINALLY looks live I've got my positive OPK so ovulation will be ant day now.

Wishing lots of baby dust to us all 💓🥰💕🌈

@HollowayL31 hi! Yes well I'm the same and sometimes people get funny when I say it on posts! I fell preg with my first on the pill I was 18, second when 23 and wasn't trying! Or not trying, thirds first month ove even fell preg on t he cool before but miscarried when it was removed! So I am stressing and wish I wasn't! I'm keen to conceive quickly lol due to age but also work! Really hope happens this month but I've ditched the opks for old fashioned sex this month!

@sofedup1 hi hun, do you always ovulate so late? I gave up on the sticks! I'm going by what flo says lol we'll sort of I decided as soon as af finished we would dtd every day to cycle day 10 then 10/14 twice a day then 14/20 once a day again! Haha hard work but hey

@lastbany it's crazy isn't it, my first we had said we would try when we were 21 nothing more about it and just happened to fall pregnant, our 2nd came along 4 years later and wasn't even planned or thought about. My 3rd was a massive surprise whilst on the patch definitely not even trying as just met my partner 😂 however two years on were planing our final. He has made our 3rd the easiest baby and so hands on, what's one more. This is our reason to just get it out the way now while our littlest is 14 months. We both work full time and just feel it's easier to just get it out the way. We have to stop trying in January for a couple of months and we're heading to Australia hopefully end of the year for my brothers wedding. My partner is actually from there too so will be nice with a new baby, everything crossed for everyone in the next couple of weeks! Back to the old fashioned way and just doing it with no stress 😂

MamaMoonbeam · 29/10/2020 13:41

@lastbany oh flip! I won't invest in those then! Will just have to see how it goes. Hoping we get pregnant before xmas!

Moominmiss · 29/10/2020 13:45

Hiya, I think (according to opk) I’m due to ovulate today, possibly tomorrow.
We’ve dtd for the last 5 days, will make sure we do tonight and the next few days too.

38 and been ttc my fourth for 13 months now. I was 32 last time I had a baby, although I did conceive back late last year although sadly mc at 9 weeks in January, and then had 2 more chemicals this year in March and June. Had all the blood tests, and scans done which are all great and oh’s semen analysis was all good. So likely just struggling to find a good quality egg to stick!

Good luck!!

rosieb060 · 29/10/2020 14:42

Hi all! Yes, I'm not doing the sticks. I gave up on that cos it felt way way too stressful.

lastbany · 29/10/2020 14:54

@HollowayL31 haha you watch will happen when your due to go away! Typical!

@MamaMoonbeam ye me too deffo my lo is one on 1/12/20 so would have been nice for her to announce it for us in some way 😍

sofedup1 · 29/10/2020 14:56

@lastbany nope I've never Had such a long cycle before! I'm totally confused but so glad to have had a positive OPK today! 💕🥰

I think it may have been thrown out of sync following my chemical 😭

lastbany · 29/10/2020 14:57

@Moominmiss ah dear! I feel like this will be me! A don't know why or if it's just I'm so down that it's not happening or happened yet! Even though really when I look at when we dots to when I ovulated last month was probably only time we properly tried and even then we went few days invetween this month we deffo on it!! Haha

OP posts:
lastbany · 29/10/2020 14:58

@sofedup1 I know it sounds silly but are you sure you aren't pregnant? As opk show positive for positive preg test 😳😳

OP posts:
lastbany · 29/10/2020 14:59

@rosieb060 yep I agree!! I mean sorely if you dtd pretty much every day after your period ends why does it matter when you ovulate? Surely you gonna catch it lol

OP posts:
MamaMoonbeam · 29/10/2020 15:27

@lastbany omg, that would be so adorable! 😍

sofedup1 · 29/10/2020 18:33

@lastbany definitely not sadly 😣😣
