Hi guys. I’m trying to conceive again after a miscarriage and am desperate to make it happen as soon as I can. I’m quite sure that I’m currently ovulating due to my moodiness, cramps and increased discharge. No sex is happening tonight and I’m upset because we last had sex 2 days ago. What are the chances that conception can still happen? I’m praying I haven’t ruined it for this month ffs.

Not sure on the chances, but not impossible, nothing wasted. No chance of sex at all?

Still possible, but DTD today would be perfect

Annoyingly, I don’t think sex is happening. I’ve always read that sex 1-2 days pre ovulation is good, as sperm survives much longer than an egg. If I haven’t conceived then the egg is probably dead by now Anyway.

I read that as well. Fingers crossed 🤞

Fingers crossed! I’m going to test in about 2 weeks time if my period doesn’t show up before then.

Just read that most sperm die within 24-48 hours, even inside the body. Brilliant. Guess I’m probably out this month now?

That's not true?

Nicolelinda96 · 08/09/2021 09:22

I thought it wasn’t true. Every other source says up to 5 days. Some say a week. If you count my fertile window as the 5 days up to ovulation and the day itself, I believe I’ve actually had sex twice during that window (well, once at least for definate) a lot of people say they ovulated around the normal time after a CP (cd14) cd14 would put me around the 28th of last month, so I’ve either ovulated fairly late or it already happened.

Sorry for your loss.

I understand the desperation to be pregnant after a mc. It took me 8 months after mine to fall pregnant again , having taken 8 months to fall pregnant the first time.

Remember, it only takes one sperm on any one occasion. Believe me when I say that you can have sex once, five or 20 times in your fertile window after a mc and it still may not happen.

Hey, don't beat yourself up or be down Flowers

My partner and I only DTD twice in our fertile window (four and three days away from ovulation) and I'm pregnant. I didn't think we stood a chance, didn't even think much about the TWW, tested at 11po and had a clear as day positive/including digital.

You have a chance even covering once. Sperm survives up to 5 days!

Keep a positive head xx

To add, we had a miscarriage then I got my period and it happened the cycle after that!

Nicolelinda96 · 08/09/2021 11:44

Thanks so much . To be fair last time I didn’t even really bother about how often we dtd or when we did it. It’s often be every 2-3 days and I still got pregnant quickly.
