Anyone else ovulating today?

Got my peak yesterday and temp drop today. Managed to dtd yesterday morning, night and this morning. Going for tonight too 😂.

Peonies94 · 11/02/2022 07:10

Official CD1 for me today! @Chanel05 wow! Fair play! Good luck!

Cheekypeach · 11/02/2022 08:07

@Chanel05 yes but not ttc until next cycle - but you go girl, that’s quite impressive 😂 think once a day will be our max haha!

Ooo, seems promising. It’s gonna be your cycle. ✨
smiles39 · 11/02/2022 17:48

@Chanel05 😂 my OH said we should try to DTD 4 times a day, we are both teachers, we have his kids full-time and the reality is we are just about managing every other day. Good luck!

Charl881 · 11/02/2022 18:11

@Chanel05 wow go you! At least during the TWW you can be sure you did it as much as you could 😂

It’s a struggle to bring myself to DTD every other day at the mo with a toddler who doesn’t sleep. Expecting my peak at the weekend at some point.

Cheekypeach · 11/02/2022 19:23

Part of the reason I’m using the ovulation sticks is so there’s only pressure to DTF for a couple of days, then back to our usual once a week 😂 it worked last time so fingers crossed it will again! I find timed sex to be quite stressful Confused

Coastaldreamer · 11/02/2022 20:18

@Chanel05 wow that's some stamina!!

@Bubblesandballoons how're you getting on?

@Miracle22 hope Af not here !

Need some help! So I got my peak today at around 4pm when I tested on the cheapies but and we DTD this morning. Do you think we need to DTD again tonight or tomorrow morning would be enough?

Thankssss all x

MrsGrealish · 11/02/2022 21:47

@Coastaldreamer I would go again tomorrow in case ovulation a little later but either way I think you're good.

4dpo here not much happening

excitedemmi · 12/02/2022 06:43

@Miracle22 Hope you're still AF-less.

@Coastaldreamer could DTD again just in case but also think you're pretty covered.

Bubblesandballoons · 12/02/2022 07:03

@Coastaldreamer I’m on cd18 and day 10 of flashing smileys and low opk’s 😩. Guessing it was too much to ask that it would all be normal after two miscarriages in a row. Yay you got your peak yest. I’d also say go for tonight just to make sure you are covered.
@Miracle22 hope af hasn’t come

Charl881 · 12/02/2022 07:47

I would definitely do it tomorrow. While pretty accurate, there’s nothing to say you won’t ovulate a bit later. That’s part of the premise of the SMeP. I usually stop DTD on second day of peak but this month going for a day or two after as well to make sure I’m covered.

On day 5 of flashing smileys though here 😩

BiscuitLover3678 · 12/02/2022 07:56

Keep DTD ladies! Grin

We’ve only done it twice this month! But we did it on two smiley days so who knows.

TWW here we come

BiscuitLover3678 · 12/02/2022 07:56

Also I don’t get flashing smileys only statics so who knows

mightbeyesmightbeno · 12/02/2022 08:04

Just spotted this thread - to give a little hope I've just got to the end of my TWW and a BFP and we only DTD twice in fertile window... and one of those times (TMI next) when DH withdrew, all liquid inside me came out onto the bed. So I am pretty sure that was a wasted try. But it was enough to work! Keep positive!

excitedemmi · 12/02/2022 09:33

@mightbeyesmightbeno oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! Amazing news! Congrats!

smiles39 · 12/02/2022 09:52

@mightbeyesmightbeno congrats! 🥳

Definitely think I missed my LH peak with the OPKs. Started testing too late because I was trying to be chill about it all but then caved.

AF due on 23rd Feb, so I think TWW has begun. Will continue DTD every other day in case I ovulate later than I thought. Still empty circles for me. Fingers crossed for everyone else in the TWW!

Annabelle0852 · 12/02/2022 10:31

Hello, could I join? AF arrived in full force today which puts me on track for a November baby 🍁 this cycle.

Bluemilan · 12/02/2022 11:19

Hi everyone, hope it’s ok for me to join!

TTC #4!

Initially we were set at 3 as we’ve also had 8 miscarriages and 2 losses at the 23 week mark but since finding out I’ll likely need a procedure on my cervix next year my GP pretty much said to go for number 4 now as it won’t be an option then, so had coil out yesterday on what should have been AF day but typically it’s a no show after two years of coming bang on time Hmm

Poppyjen · 12/02/2022 12:22

Hello, can I join in too?

TTC #4 ...can't quite believe I am writing that, totally thought we were done at DC 3 (well DC 2 actually but I guess the universe had other ideas 😂) but I have finally given in to the feeling that I am just not done yet.

I turned 40 this year so it feels like this is a bit of a last gasp - I already have DS (12) DD1 (9) and DD2 (3) with 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic in the mix. Am I crazy?.....

I am on CD 5 of cycle 1.

Xx

Poppyjen · 12/02/2022 12:27

Ps...will catch up with the rest of the thread asap but just wanted to say 👋 to @Bluemilan as a fellow TTC #4. How old are your other DCs if you don't mind me asking?

Also, I feel your frustration after getting the coil removed - this happened to me a few years ago, it was almost like my body had to re-learn its normal cycle...

Bluemilan · 12/02/2022 13:11

@Poppyjen hi! Mine are DD8, DS almost 3 & DS almost 2 Blush DC3 was also a surprise from the universe, we only found out at 4 months and I’d been breastfeeding and had the depo, there’s 12 months between them!

I’ve started to bleed now but only lightly, so will probably count tomorrow as CD1
