Hey everyone I’m 6dpo, I think we timed dtd okay 1/2 days before ov, still got 5/6 days till I can test 😭 longest wait ever. I don’t feel much different just been cramping and tired. Anyone else with me?xxx

Yes I'm around 5/6 DPO, AF due 30/31 January.
I was hopeful at the start of the month with being on furlough I had chance to do OPKs and was less tired so could DTD more!
However my husband developed covid symptoms last weekend so I think covid will stop me from being able to have conceived this month.
I have flu like symptoms so I possibly have covid too. Although I have a really dull ache in my stomach today and feel a bit like it's time for AF!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Gspps meeee! I’m 7dpo ☺️ We DTD a lot this cycle, day before positive OPK, Static smiley day and 2 days after!! I’ve had a little bout of tmi thrush 😳😂 was crazy googling thinking it was a symptom. But potentially putting it down to too much DTD!!! We used preseed this month and timed it so much better. Felt hungover this morning too which was strange. But not really feeling hopeful as don’t feel any different either.

What month is this for you? Cycle 13 for me 😩

Izzie94 · 22/01/2021 20:08

@Gspps I meant two days in a row after. So 4 in total. I just realised it didn’t sound as much as I made out 😂😂

JessB89 · 22/01/2021 20:15

Hey. Im due anywhere around 30th Jan - 1st Feb. I had my peak OPK on CD 22 so alot later this month. Ive never had a cycle longer than 28 days, but this months predicting a longer cycle so will just wait & see what happens.

Yayyyyy got someone on the wait with me!! Ahha xx wow that’s good fingers crossed it’s worked ! Hope you’re thrush isn’t too bad 😂😂😂

I’ve never thought about preseed but might give it a go! This is actually my first proper month , we started last month but was a bit late for ovulation in December so wonder what January will bring 😅 let’s keep eachother updated! are you going to be testing early or wait for af?xxx

BWaiting · 22/01/2021 20:26

Meee. I'm 7DPO and this feels like the longest wait ever!!
Refusing to test early but it's driving me mad. Had cramping a few days ago and an off feeling but that's all and now I'm back to normal.
I bet I totally missed my peak days and did it all wrong as I wasn't using any OPK and just went off an app that predicts my days.
Hope you're all doing okay and keeping yourself busy to take your mind off it.

Izzie94 · 22/01/2021 20:40

@Gspps hahhaha it seemed to have cleared up now!! 😂😂 so obviously was from too much DTD and not a symptom 🙄 loool.

I actually quite like pre seeed! You don’t need too much and it’s meant to mimic fertile CM. It’s worth a shot right? 😂 eeee how exciting for you!! I remember being excited when we started last January, now I’m just a year older (well only 26 🤣) and bloody sick of DTD haha!! So usually I wait, BUT... fuck it. I’m over waiting. Just ordered some Amazon Frer’s and I’ll be testing Monday!! 10dpo. How about you?! Defo have to keep each other sane. I’m losing the will 😂

@BWaiting what app do you use lovely? My Flo app was WAY out! 🙄 but I started taking pre seed this month and it seems I ovulated way earlier than I thought. I got a peak smiley on CD12! Last month is was CD18! So not sure if it’s the vitamins 😂 but after a year TTC I find OPKS actually relax me. I’ve only recently started doing it and it helps me feel like I’m doing everything I can to help. We were so relaxed the first few months, as all my friends literally had “surprise” babies... and here I am 1 year later stilll trying 😩😂 x x

BWaiting · 22/01/2021 20:47

@Izzie94 ive been keeping a track of my AF on Flo for the last 6 months and I have a 28day cycle.
This is our first cycle trying so I thought I would just see how it goes this month and if nothing I'll use an OPK next month. But since the week of DTD as often as we could I keep convincing myself I'm having all the symptoms but also trying to talk myself into believing that it's all in my head!
I have one son who is 9 (and I don't remember all of this panicking back then!? Since then I've had 2 miscarriages and got really put off trying again. But a year and a half later, here I am, trying and really really wanting it to work!
I think just as long as you know you're doing everything you can. You're so much more experienced in tracking it all, advice is soooo welcome! Fingers x's for you this month!! Blush

Yay glad we’ve got someone else! I’m trying to resist testing but I’ve got one in my cupboard! Gonna try hold out until 11dpo 😂😂 doing fine just hate waiting! Fingers crossed for us all xxx

Hahahahaha I’m glad it’s better 😂😂😂
Sounds good maybe I’ll give it a go next month if it doesn’t happen this month , fingers crossed though eeee I hope we all get positives!! I’m 26 now nearly 27 so I’m hoping it happens quickly 😭😭😭

Well I wanna say I’ll wait but I dunno haha! I’ve got a test in my cupboard and I’ve said I’ll try wait until at least 11dpo but we’ll see hahaha xxxx

@Gspps the wait is the worst thing. I didn't anticipate this, I thought I'd be the cool and calm type, I kept telling myself "I'm just going to see how it goes" but oh my gosh I'm like a crazy woman! Haha.
Have you had any symptoms? x

Gspps · 22/01/2021 21:26

@BWaiting it really is the worst just makes time go so slow 😢 but just trying to be positive and hoping for the best possible outcome 🥰
I’ve had cramping but I know I get them normally before my period but not normally this early I don’t think but other than that nothing really! What about you?xxx

OP posts:
BWaiting · 22/01/2021 21:44

@Gspps I had cramps a few days ago and have been feeling a little nauseous on and off but I've been fine the last few days. I think it's more down to being anxious about it all and having it constantly on my mind! Every little feeling is magnified in this situation haha!
How long have you been TTC? xx

Happythoughts91 · 22/01/2021 21:45

Hi girls, was wondering if I could join. I’m 4 dpo and AF due on the 2nd. This is my 4th cycle ttc for our first. Came off the pill and started trying straight away, I’m aware it may take a few month to settle down but getting impatient and feel like it won’t ever happen.

I used the clear blue opk first two months, didn’t last month but used this month.
We managed to dtd twice whilst flashing smile and then 3 days running when it was static.
I also used pressed this month. Something we’ve not used before.

Hope you don’t mind me joining xx

BWaiting · 22/01/2021 22:00

Hi @Happythoughts91 welcome!
I think we are all still getting to know each other.
I'm also bored tonight and replying to everyone super fast 🤣
I'm 33 and have a 9yr old. I had 2 MC and it's taken me over a year to pluck up the courage and try again so here I am. This is my first cycle of TTC and I've been off the pill for about 6 months. I didn't use any OPK sort of winged it and DTD every other day around the time.
According to the flo app I'm 7DPO.
Fingers x'd for you this month! Tell us about you... Xx

Toastedsesame · 22/01/2021 22:28

Hi All!

I'm 7dpo today, I have 33 day cycles and ovulated cd18 this month. We dtd day before and day of ovulation (confirmed by temp and opk) does anyone else chart? Be interesting to compare!

@Gspps I'm terrible if I have tests in my cupboards I will pee on them. I haven't bought any yet so I'm holding off til Monday 10dpo!

Happythoughts91 · 22/01/2021 22:47

@BWaiting so sorry to hear about your mc. I use the Ovia app and I find that pretty good.
We was due to get married June 2020, then postponed until June this year. But have now postponed until August 2022. We’re giving it until June to conceive and if it doesn’t happen then we will wait until the wedding to start trying again. I try not to test each month and just wait for af, but I’m getting impatient. Lol.

@Toastedsesame hey 👋🏻 xx

YakkityYakYakYak · 22/01/2021 22:49

I’ll join in!

I’m due on 31st. We’re on cycle 7 of TTC for our second. First DD is 18 months old.

Used OPKs for the first time this month, and DTD 4 nights in a row around ovulation time! We’re normally a bit rubbish at doing it enough at the right time, so that’s a big success for us!

I’d been getting really frustrated about how long it’s taking, and having missed out on having the small age gap I really wanted, but feeling much more positive this month. Fingers crossed!

MommaSB · 22/01/2021 23:23

I wanna join! Will be 7dpo tomorrow apparently af due 30th but not sure as I have had irregular periods for the whole 2.5 yrs we've been trying for number 2.
Had lower back cramps and some af type twinges and my skin has turned awful! All dry with red splotches and sore dry lips. No idea if that means anything or if I'm due on earlier than expected.
Sitting on my hands until next week as no point testing yet. Sending luck to you all xx

BWaiting · 22/01/2021 23:28

@Happythoughts91 I downloaded Ovia today and compared my dates with the flo app and it's slightly out so will be using Ovia from now on. It looks like a really good app to track everything.
Ooo hoping you get a BFP before June!!
You're a strong lady to not test each month, I'm so so impatient!! I don't think it helps that I read all of the threads on here about people testing from 8dpo and getting positives!! xx

Gspps · 23/01/2021 08:40

@BWaiting yeah same as me really, you just notice any little thing that changes and wonder if that means anything! Hahaa
App Says I can test in 5 days 🤞
Well this is the first proper cycle I guess as last month we was a bit late for ovulation, wbu?xxx

OP posts:
Gspps · 23/01/2021 08:43

@Toastedsesame hi!

We’re similar dpo but you have a slightly longer cycle than me! I think the times you dtd seem like perfect times too if there ever could be! We dtd day before or 2 days before depending on what’s right on the app so fingers crossed we made it 🙌🏼 I do opks but never bbt it seems like hard work but might give it a go next month!xxx

OP posts:
BWaiting · 23/01/2021 10:01

@Gspps will you be testing as soon as you can or wait for AF? When is AF due?
This is our first cycle of trying. I had cramps a few days after which felt like the start of AF, it lasted two days and now I'm back to normal again. I'm not hopeful as I only used the flo app to see when peak days were and apparently it's not really accurate although we DTD 3 days in a row around the time. AF is due around 29/30th. xx

Gspps · 23/01/2021 12:38

@BWaiting I’m not sure, I want to wait but I’m not sure I can!😆 I’m due 28th/29th so still got 5/6 days to go, I’ve got an early response test, but I’m only 7dpo so I think it’s too early 😥 I think I’m going to wait until at least Monday if I can! Sounds like you dtd around the best time as the apps so fingers crossed! Xxx
