Hi Trinity! That sounds like an awesome idea! GL this cycle

How is everyone, are you all managing to keep up BDing?

I am CD14 and still waiting to O, starting to get a bit of EWCM, if it is like last cycle hopefully it will be in a few days I am looking forward to the 2ww, symptom spotting and POAS like mad, I am crazy I know

 

[Navyvet98]

I am feeling the same way. I wanted to hold off until CD8 to start BD'ing but DH is not hearing it. Could this throw the plan off? ( To be honest I dont think I can wait either )

Haha go for it, I don't think a day will make a difference

I usually have a 26 day cycle- does anyone know if that means I should start 2 days earlier? Also have absolutely no idea when I ovulate and was assuming it would be around cd12 but am I better off using the opks from quite early just to make sure I don't ovulate early? At least until I know when I do ovulate?

Ooh that's a good question, I would be tempted to yes as you probably do O quite early! Maybe start the opks early this time to get an idea of when you do O, it may be CD12 or if you have a shorter leutal phase like me it might be a few days later!

 

[trinity_enigm]

So do you think if I started them around cd8 would that be good? Or is that silly early?

 

[DragonflyWing]

I don't think cd 8 is too early...I started on cd 9

No positive opk for me yet, but it's getting slightly darker, so hopefully soon!

 

[pinkpolkadot]

No that's not too early, I start 8 or 9!

I am on cd15 and have been having loads of EWCM yetserday and today so hoping for a + opk today or tomorrow yey!

 

[Navyvet98]

Good Morning Ladies! It's CD 8 for me I am so excited! How is eveyone else doing?

 

[DragonflyWing]

I'm on CD16 today, and I've had lots of watery and eggwhite cm. No positive opk yet, but it's getting darker so I think I should have a + soon I've started testing twice a day now, so I don't miss the surge!

I also track BBT and saliva ferning (pretty much everything that can be tracked except for cervix position, because I have never been able to find mine!)...my temp has been exactly the same over the past 4 days, no increase yet. My saliva microscope has told me I'm fertile for the past 6 days in a row not sure what's up with that.

Right now we're DTD pretty much every day, so I guess we're deviating from SMEP a bit. With my other fertile signs, I don't want to miss any opportunity

Around what day would we start seeing EWCM? I think I am getting too impatient

 

[bluestars]

I'm on cd 17 I think. Discomfort down below maybe o happening for me? Had the cold this month so it seems a couple of days late but heyho.

Nearing the two week wait!! Not looking forward to it! Longest part of the month I think! Xxx

I think it varies but for me it is about 3-4 days before O and sometimes the odd bit earlier on just to throw me!!

- opk for me today, maybe tomorrow then... Hate waiting to O, I am impatient too!

 

[DragonflyWing]

I hate waiting to O too! I think it's actually worse than the TWW, because at least then I know I've done all I can do, and it's just a matter of waiting to test. Pre-o is more nervewracking to me.

Hello ladies! Any sign of O yet for anyone?

I had an odd opk today (cd16) with a skinny line so not sure what to make of it, have a feeling it was neg. I posted a pic here if anyone has any opionions...
