The mighty 2 week wait

So after being sure OPKs weren't working for me this month I finally got my +OPK yesterday. 2days later than I usually get it and I've been using them for 6 months! Just when I think I've figured it all out my body does something weird.

Hoping we gets lots of BFP's this month! Fingers crossed. :)

Well who knows when I'm o-ing! Or if it's been and gone! Still a wee bit of ewcm inconsistent throughout the day though.
What really guts me is I blew out my knee (again...already had a reconstruction!) and in agony! Doubt we will manage to bd tonight which sucks cos signs of O are still here. Ah well, lets hope the last 3 or 4 nights have been enough!
Great to hear DH's swimmers are A-OK MrsM!

Pretty sure I felt ovulation on cd12, so I am 4dpo and waaaaiittting! Will probably test next week sometime although im not holding much hope this month :(
Hope you are all doing well!

Think that's the point I'm at now MrsM, so hard to stay positive BFN after BFN! Think I almost done the exact opposite to you! Threw myself into TTC by temping, then OPKs, then pre-seed, then pineapple core, then acupuncture and SMEP! Pretty sure I tried everything out there in terms of old wives tale or researched possibilites, so when that last BFN hit me I was really really disappointed. Who knows what will happen this month, but hopefully if it is BFN then I won't be quite so disappointed? I don't know - nothing makes sense!

Fingers crossed for you and Court though! Lots of BD is great! We need a bFP around here!

Hopefully they are AJB! And you get in a extra BD tonight! We missed O by one day, BD on Sunday night, but O'd overnight on Monday without a BD on Monday or Tuesday. So hopefully, but who knows! I can't wrap my brain around the whole they can survive for a couple days thing!

It's a rollercoaster of emotions. So hard to know how you will react to another BFN, or the BFP we all are dreaming about.
I have been furiously googling how long an egg stays alive for once it's released to make sure when we bd tonight we can still catch it, How long sperm can survive just to give me peace of mind. But I'm SO gutted we hadn't been the last few nights, when now I know we really needed to.
Frustrating doesn't even come close!

Fingers crossed for you AJB! Can just hope and wait! They say 12-24 hours, so hopefully! And if it happened last night then you still definitely have a chance as it would've only been 2 days!

We have lots of us in the TWW now! So fingers crossed somebody gets lucky this month!

Mussed it. We had an argument over something stupid and missed it. Spent half the night crying and temp up this morn. I'm gutted. I might check out of this forum for a while I think it will be too devistating to see the bfp's come through this month knowing a silly fight ruined it for me this month. Especially when it's gonna be a long 2ww and then another 3 ornao weeks til O. So long

That's sucks to hear AJB. Lots of love your way. Totally understand the checking out for a bit! Let yourself recuperate and not think about it constantly if you can for the next couple weeks. You never know but try have a break! tTC sucks big time.

Good luck at the week MrsM - nothing worse than those questions'

Hey Court, last wee post before I do check out for a little.
I'm 29 (VERY soon to be 30) DH 32. Married 2years. TTC our first since August. Extremely difficult as most of our friends and my brother in law either got pregnant first try, or have had unplanned pregnancies. I dont really feel like I can talk to them since they don't know what it's like ttc and being unsuccessful month after month.
As you all can tell still a bit down in the dumps. Really think I need to take some 'Me' time and focus on our relationship rather than just making babies.

MrsM, I'm glad the sperm tests came back good, but I understand it's frustrating too. I hope your bloods give an easily fixed answer though, OR actually I hope you just get a BFP!!! Xxx


AJB, big hugs mamma. You're EXACTLY where I was two months ago. O came and went and I KNEW it was there and we missed it without a single bd in time. Our closest bd earlier was like 6 days too, so no hope. I was totally gutted, bottom of the barrel of devastated, facing five or so weeks of no f**king chance. Yep. Sucks balls. Big hugs. Take a break, let us know when AF comes, and allow time to pass, because it will. Big big hugs. Xxx


Miswe, hi!! I'm glad to hear you're feeling decent is month about being relaxed. It's interesting how we are all different, and some need to pull back to find relaxation, others need to ramp up for more answers!! But I'm crossing my fingers for you that you've caught the egg without needing any extra tracking and planning!!!!


Court, oh good luck I hope you've caught the egg too!!! So many in the TWW! As for your questions, im in Otago, I'm 32, married for coming up 8 years now. Have a son who is not long turned 5, and a daughter who is 2.5. We've been TTC our third since I got my PP AF back in September, so what's that, five months?


Lillypilly, good luck having caught the egg too!! Are you using any tracking to know if you've Od? Or just guessing?


Afm we bd last night (woot! No problems!) and this morning I realise as I put my temp in that I'm due to O any time in the next few days! Oh! I have been so laid back this month I wasn't really paying attention, just putting my temp in and carrying on. Lol. So O is due sometime wed/thur/fri and today is Sunday, so here's hoping we get another good bd or two in there over the next few days.
Also happy that my temps have been consistently low this FP. I know my chart is still all up and down to look at, but normally my coverline is about where that second big peak is (36.35) and normally I've got temps all up and down above and below that line even in the FP, but the vast majority are down below that rather than up this time so it might bode well hopefully for a good O and good solid temp shift.

I do think last month it wasn't a great O or something that cause such a dodgy start to the LP, so I'm hoping it's better this month. We shall see. I'm feeling a bit meh this month, like, try if we can but I'm not obsessed. I have zero desire to test early, I don't want to analyse evaps, I don't want to waste perfectly good tests on BFNs. AF will either come, or not, and that'll tell me the answer if I'm just patient.

So I say now. Hahaha!!
