Chart attached. I wasn't sure when/if I was going to ovulate so just adopted a "might as well" approach Blush

Do you bother dtd after you've ovulated?

I suggested that we should probably dtd tonight and tomorrow, just in case. Dh is perfectly happy with the arrangement Grin

Yes - apart from anything there's plenty to suggest LH/BBT isn't always correct so I'm always worried I'd otherwise be stopping too soon!

If you're both happy to why not it definitely wouldn't hurt your chances 😉

I'm just shattered mainly 😂 my dh is on lates so I've had to wait up till the small hours and then our DS is up first thing. I don't think I can let myself not take the chance though Grin

@BloodyHellAudrey looking at your chart I'd say you're more than 1dpo. And you've covered all bases. Personally I'd sleep! 😂

😂 I'm buggered, dh is having a whale of a time!

Do you think? My temps and OPKs have been so all over the place I'm never sure if I even have ovulated.

Have you done opks? I'd say minimum 2dpo. Possibly 4dpo.

Seriously you're incredible with that many days in a row! 😂 and your husband is beast!! Haha! We did this to conceive our first...8 days in a row... our 3 kid, most we can manage is 4! 😂

I think you're well covered Grin

Fell asleep last night before he got home Grin But I am lucky, the man's a machine Grin

But now, another day another positive opk. So now I'm just confused because I've had five days of either peak or positive.

I don't want to be a hopes raiser or anything but when I got pregnant with DS I got really strong positive OPKs at around 4-6 dpo, or CD18. Stronger than I've ever had. Definitely didn't conceive him on those days if the dating scan was to be believed, my due date was based on a 28 day cycle and never changed.

I would be incredibly surprised if I was pregnant. I've just done a cheapie pregnancy test and there's nothing there but got another high OPK.

Will do a cheapie pregnancy test in the morning and order a few FRERs

🤞🏻 but as they're getting no weaker again I'd just say you had a very high surge that is now going back down after the peak. I'd imagine if it's picking up hcg it would remain the same/get darker, getting lighter indicates ovulation more but that's a very impressive peak this month mine was 1.00 😂

😂 I was gobsmacked myself, especially since last year I didn't really ovulate at all! I'm blaming/thanking the CoQ10!

It's definitely impressive I had 2.4 when I conceived my first but this month was literally 1.0 😂 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
