Hopefuls!!!!!!!

[phoebemum]

Phoeb, all is not lost! My apps are predicting I ovulate between cd16 and 17. I thought it was 14 but maybe I've been wrong!! Perhaps you ovulate later than you thought? We're all different! dint lose hope
I'd keep those coming just in case
Also, DTF means 'down to f#*k' lol
I'm cd 12 today and not even a whisper of a line on my opks!!! We've had today and will probably go everyday now till next Saturday if we can manage lol

Thanks WannaBeAMumma. I'm sure I will probablly get my smiley face (or at least I hope), if I don't thats going to stress me even more, but I suppose if I don't I have a few cycles before we try again to get things sorted.

Youre probably right, i bet Im ovulating later than I thought.

Haha, DTF that's a good one!!

Keep enjoying those sessions.

to all of you ladies and keep us posted!! Even though Im a little disheartened, I love hearing about everyone else

My daughter has been up since 5 am so its going to be a long day if I need to include the somewhere too xx

 

[WannaBeAMumma]

DS they reckon it's 24-36 hours before ov. that you get the surge so then the egg will release and be viable for up to 24 hours for the to catch it!!!
Good luck!

Phoeb, good luck! Must be hard with a little one in the house too!! We got up early for the farmers market today, nice to have a day off!!!

girls! I'm feeling pumped for this cycle, really think this is our lucky month! to all!!!!

My test line was darker than the reference line so we Now question, should I keep bding the next 2-3 days? Will the line fade to lighter than the reference line when I'm past ovu? This is out 2nd month ttc and 1st using an opk. FX'd for all of us!

 

[WannaBeAMumma]

Hey BabyW, keep going!!! You get your surge 24-36 before ov then once your eggy us released it is viable for up to 24 hours! Keep cracking away for another day or 2!!!
It should fade after ov. This is my first month using opk and I haven't had my pos yet!
Good luck, and keep those coming!!!

Is twice a day good or too much? We bd yesterday morning, and then last night, then this morning again. I don't want to miss my window, for instance if we bd this morning and then wait until tomorrow night but I also don't want to deplete his Dh is so funny, he's taking to the bd timing task like he's a superhero or something, he gets all psyched like "Let's Do This!"

Hi everyone!!! My name is Lisa and I am new to this forum/website. This is my second month ttc. I am currently at CD16...and 2 dpo. This was the first month that I started charting my bbt and using OPKs... I always said that when we started trying I wasn't going to do all that stuff but when I got my BFNs I decided I wanted to do everything I could to not see a BFN again...so temping and ovulation testing was the way to go! Now i'm just doing the countdown and thought it would be nice to be able to talk to people about this process!!

Hi Lisa

I'm just a few days behind you, on cd 14 today. So have you ovulated this month yet? Im using Clear Blue digital kits but haven't had a smiley yet

We're trying to conceive our second, is this you trying for your first?

Always helps to have people to talk to especially as men don't usually understand how much this means to us.

Keep us updated xx

Hi phoebe!! Yupp I ovulated- according to my positive opk I am now 4dpo. Yes we are trying for our 1st its crazy though- everywhere I go I see babies and I know it happens but I keep thinking me gettig pregnant is too good to be true an what are the chances it will happen for us too soon?! Although Im staying positive and I'm hopeful that I'll get my bfp! I probably won't even believe it when I see it though lol... Gonna start my testing at 9 dpo... This Friday! You aren't too far behind me- did u ovulate yet??

And I agree.. My dh is a good listener but he just doesn't get what this wait is doing to me!!

I'm sure if you stay positive it will happen soon for you

I know what you mean, I was the same last time and this time, everywhere I went I saw pregnant women, or babies or friends announced they're pregnant or gave birth!! Very happy for them but frustrating at the same time.

My first was conceived first of the first cycle we tried (!!!!), took us very much by surprise so don't think it is too good to be true! You will have your in no time xx

Men totally don't understand, my husband is supportive but he doesn't understand the urge to have another baby. I let him off yesterday (cd14) as he was sore from 3 days in a row hehe. No smiley again yesterday or today and Im using the cheap tests too and no second line. I will start with the again tonight and just keep going until the weekend, by that point I'm praying I will have had a smiley or I've missed the surge of LH and will be past ovulation. xx

Good luck for testing, look forward to hearing what happens!! xx

Haha, that's so funny!!! What are they like!!!

I would just keep doing it, I've read both points of view but my friend has PCOS and her doctor told her to keep doing it as much as possible to catch the egg or ovulation, didn't say anything about depleting sperm so I would go with that!! xx

I just wanted to say ladies, that since the first thread I posted a month or so ago, it has been lovely to chat to you all.

I think we're all over the world but to know we're all in the same boat and be able to talk about it is fab

It has definitely helped me stay a bit calmer being able to chat on here and not keep it all in!!

I'm praying we all get our BFP this month, (to be honest I think mine will be doubtful as I'm wondering if I missed the surge of LH on ovulation kits and haven't enough), but I have a little one already who is such a joy so I can't complain, even though the urge to have the second is just as much as the first but you ladies deserve to get your so much.

loads and loads of to you all.

[DSemcho]

Got 3 positive OPKs between 10am and 8pm last night - but no BDing. =/ This morning (8:30am) was a positive OPK also, but my temp went up to 96.8 so I think I did OV and we should BD tonight but I don't know if it will happen. We did on CD14 but I'm pretty sure that's to far out. If we don't BD tonight or tomorrow night then I'm sure I'm out this cycle.

I haven't had a pos yet either!!! I'm cd13 today so will just keep testing and everyday and just hope I have done enough!! DH asked for a break tonight to build up his since I haven't had my surge yet, but we will see! Everyday we've said we will have a rest we haven't lol!! Also, I agree it is great having others to chat to in he same situation. DH doesn't quite understand why I'm always on here but he has noticed I'm not so stressed about TTC. It's good to see I'm just an average girl TTC because I have VERY fertile sisters who have all had kids while on birth control etc so I just really thought when we started trying it would be the first cycle.. Silly me lol now I am much more realistic and enjoying the process, told DH to enjoy all this while he can hahahahaha

Also, does anyone have their DH on vitamins? This cycle mine has started taking zinc and frolic acid and I have noticed that his load is bigger and whiter, maybe there are more in there? Anyone else notice a difference?

DS, hope you catch that window!! Good luck with the

I've heard from both sides. Some say every 2nd day others say everyday. I think if you DH has a healthy sperm count it shouldn't hurt but it will mean there isn't as much in each load as if you did it a bit less. We are doing it once everyday just to make sure but have considered rest days just to let them 'regenerate' as my DH likes to say lol

Here hoping all this leads to a
Can't wait till testing time!!! Waiting to ov is almost as bad as the 2ww, almost.. Lol

My husband takes vitamins anyways. He takes a men's multi vitamin every day - and he also takes fish oil, calcium and a uni-liver vitamin. We're both gym rats - and weight lifters so we take our vitamins daily. For me instead of taking a women's multi I'm taking prenatals.

Yeah DH normally does take a multi but has stopped bc i don't want him to od on zinc. He is taking zinc folate and his normal krill oil tabs.
He goes to the gym too but has stopped all his gym supplements till I get preg!
Dr said it can't hurt, we both want it to happen ASAP so we don't mind adjusting. I've been taking pregnancy vitamins for about 6 months instead of my normal women's multi.
