2ww with added deflation

I believe I am now in the dreaded tww as cm turned creamy yesterday/today

We dtd last 3 days but I only know 100% that DH finished 2 days prior to ov. He says he finished the other times but it's either much less stuff than usual or he's fibbing out of embarrassment (nothing to be embarrassed about, I'd just rather know!). I have heard of less 'leakage' around O so that could be it but I don't know. Maybe just trying to keep my hopes up!

Anyone got their BFP with sex 2 days prior to O or anyone have any experiences with DH either not finishing or finishing 'discreetly'?

Month 9 off the pill, baby #2, feeling like we're out already!

I had the same last month where I'm fairly sure DH didn't finish on the peak day but he did 2 days before that. We didn't conceive but I doubt that's the reason why, 2 days before ovulation is still a high chance.

For this cycle DH suggested that I don't tell him when I'm in the fertile window, I'm sure he'll guess because we'll be dtd more often but it takes the pressure off him. Beforehand I'd been telling him when I'm ovulating and that we have to have sex that day and I'm sure that doesn't help 😅

No I'm sure you're right, the chance is still there! With our daughter we dtd successfully every day for 9 days 🤣 so I was sure we were covered then.
After 9 months I'm a bit like ugh is this gonna happen?! Didn't have trouble last time! I know many women have it far worse but I'm still feeling a bit bleugh about it!
Fingers crossed anyway! Time will tell.

Yes, this cycle we only dtd -5 and -2 days before ovulation and I got a bfp from it. Oh and +4 after ovulation too but obviously that doesn’t count.

Thankyou. It is early days still. Just wanted to add a positive for it.

Well, I caved and tested at 7/8dpo (I know I know, just couldn't help it!). It's amazing how long you can sit and stare at photos of a negative test wondering if next time you check it will have magically turned positive 🤣
