@Hopingforarainbow27 I think if you DTD on Thursday you're definitely in with a chance. Sperm will still be alive and all that jazz (or should I say jizz?) 😂 sorry

Btbt · 02/01/2022 19:06

@HelloNope on and off for about 18 months . No AF , I have been using Amazon cheepies for the last few days, saving the one FRER for 14 dpo, tomorrow

kizzy97 · 02/01/2022 19:06

@Btbt same! My DP is just really chill about it! So you have me stressing myself out trying to catch fertile window and going nuts in the tww and he's just sat there like "meh, it'll happen when it happens 🤷‍♂️"

HelloNope · 02/01/2022 19:13

@Btbt Hoping for good news tomorrow.

madeleine85 · 02/01/2022 19:20

@Mariabombia it honestly just depends on if/when you implanted. I have a 10 day luteal but I felt implantation cramps days 3-7, at day 10 it showed positive. General rule is you could likely get a positive 2 days before missed period. Fingers crossed for you!!

Btbt · 02/01/2022 19:34

@kizzy97 I hate that phrase "it'll happen when it happens" how about, something's happening for me right now and you're totally AFK 🙃

Thanks @hellonope :)

Nikkic2123 · 02/01/2022 20:06

AF just started, 2 days late. I'm stepping back this month, I'll use pre-seed and DTD on cd 6, 10,12,14,16,18. To cover ovulation on cd13 or 16, what ever it is.

🍀Good luck ladies 🍀

Pretty sure all my "symptoms" are now pointing toward AF being right around the corner. 😔
Really sore and heavy boobs, mild cramping, lower back ache.
Not feeling very confident for bfp this month

kizzy97 · 02/01/2022 20:17

@Btbt I hate that phrase as well, it's just the way he is just tries not to get too stressed out by things so I think it's just his way of going through it. I stress and worry enough for the pair of us 😅 I've got everything crossed for you that you get your BFP tomorrow!

Btbt · 02/01/2022 20:23

@kizzy97 understandable , sorry , I'm obviously a bit frustrated with my DH 😛

kizzy97 · 02/01/2022 21:50

@Btbt I know the feeling, wish it was easy for us to relax about it! But hopefully this is our month 🤞

Franny0696 · 02/01/2022 22:12

Hi ladies, this is my 4th month trying. Last period was 30th Nov - currently 4 days late never been late before.
Haven't had any cramps except major ones Xmas day for literally a few hours since then nothing. Sore nipples moody but that's it.

I tested my ovulated as per the flo app every day from the 10th and around the 16th I got 2 lines but it was a positive as wasn't darker then the neg, didn't test after then as forgot...

I've tested the last few days and all negative. My cycles are usually 33 days currently on 34.

My first pregnancy I found out the day I was due on. So strange

ttcbabya · 02/01/2022 22:30

@Brunette1989 yeah it really can be! IB is implantation bleeding :) xx

contagioushippie · 03/01/2022 01:10

@hopingforarainbow27 I think you and I are neck and neck for testing on the 12th I've started with the sore boobs today

Shabz22 · 03/01/2022 01:23

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss @Purple29. Thank you for sharing your method, I'm going to give this a go this cycle. I ovulate day 15 usually, we already did day 8 so I'll go with that, and just now which I'll count as day 12 (even though its 1am 😂) then do days 14 and 16. I'm not testing for ovulation this month so I'll drag it out longer if I don't feel like I've ovulated by then.

SadieMcdadie1 · 03/01/2022 01:39

Hi ladies 🥰

Currently been trying since September 2020, here hoping this year is our year!! Wishing you all well. 💛

mightbeyesmightbeno · 03/01/2022 08:44

Oh why DH, why?!?! TMI post here ladies... DTD last night which I think was O day (or if not then O will be today) after positive OPK. There's me thinking "yay" that we'd done it when we had DTD had the night before also. Only to get to the end... and he decided to whip it out and come all over my body!

I know he likes doing this sometimes. And I've avoided telling him O day etc otherwise he wouldn't be able to. So he wasn't to know. But bad timing or what eh?! Probably only once every 10 sex times will he do this!

So I'm not going to lie, I went into the bathroom and scooped what a could onto my fingers and put it inside me. Not that I think for one second that that will work. But I had to feel like I'd tried! And then had to get in the shower and wash the rest away!

Grrr!!!

PoleFairy · 03/01/2022 08:51

@mightbeyesmightbeno urgh so frustrating! My DH did that a few times my first month off the pill as we had always finished in different ways. I asked that he always finished inside me whilst we were trying as it might be the one! The scoop might work tbh! I think I would have put some on the end of a sex toy and put that in me Blush

mightbeyesmightbeno · 03/01/2022 08:57

@PoleFairy glad I'm not the only one! I think if he does it again between now and my next O then I'll try and have a chat to him. But I know he's so funny about thinking about it! Once a few months ago when we were literally in the middle of sex, he asked me what percentage chance there was of me getting pregnant that day! I was like "if only I had a crystal ball"😂 . He just seems a bit weird about the whole TTC so I keep him out of cycle dates etc.

mightbeyesmightbeno · 03/01/2022 09:00

Anyway will just have to keep fingers crossed that our DTD the night before and my "scooping method" was good enough this month 🤞

My test date will be 17th when AF due. Going to try really hard not to test before them. Am away 15&16 so if I can just refrain from testing morning of 14th before I go away then that will keep me on track!

Moonshine160 · 03/01/2022 10:04

Morning all. I tested positive for COVID yesterday and I feel so poorly. Ovulation is today :( manage to DTD last night (with DH putting all the work in) while we both wore masks! If I didn’t laugh I’d cry. Just really didn’t want to miss the window of opportunity. I feel really rough though so I doubt my body will let me get pregnant this cycle :( does anyone know of anyone who managed to get pregnant while they had covid?!

Nico89 · 03/01/2022 10:26

@Moonshine160 so sorry what rubbish timing. However... as rubbish as it is I would definitely advise focusing on your recovery from covid and not TTC this month. It's very draining especially if you already feel super poorly. Be kind to yourself. Sending hugs x

Moonshine160 · 03/01/2022 10:31

Thank you @Nico89. I’ve got my usual ovulation pains today so think ovulation is happening or has happened. Peak OPK was yesterday morning so don’t think we’ll be DTD again now, haven’t got the energy. Not the positive test I wanted to see this month Sad

Hopingforarainbow27 · 03/01/2022 10:38

@contagioushippie it's going so slow! I'm trying to keep busy! I'm running to the toilet a lot which is my usual first symptom but maybe I'm drinking more water! Lol

Can I join. LMP (is that af - aunty flow? on Mumsnet?) On 31st. Only starting TTC this month so hopefully an older child in the school year as dd1 is starting reception in September and as a summer baby seems too early. Also when I was pregnant last a swore I'd leave it 5 years. Was not fun.
