Sperm meets egg plan, done!
Between my late ovulation, the mid-plan trip to London and my cold I'm very glad it's done and 10 times more desperate than usual to be pregnant because I don't think I can ever, ever have that much sex in one month again.:o
Oohh I've such a good feeling for you this month though I hear you on all the sex, when we were doing SMEP we dtd every second day from CD10 then the day before ovulation and the day of ovualtion but by the day after ovulation we were too tired so we didn't do it, didn't seem to matter though cos one of those spermies made it to their goal

We did that plan last month but since found out i have endometriosis so it was all in vain. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, we're doing it all again this month (just in case
)
On a side note, when I first went to my gp about fertility, she told me that OPK sticks really are so unreliable and i shouldnt be using them. Apparently some gynaes in the coombe want them banned. The fertility expert I met last week confirmed the same. I've spent a small fortune on them!!!!!0 -

Iguana - I'd say you covered all your bases. The month I got the preggers once per day for 3 days around OV is all we did. So you can rest assured you both had a good effort put in this month and hang up the saucy undies
Mink - I think its my diary code you describe - I saw you say soppy hearts and smilies and thought I recognised it. Its really easy, especially on a calendar format to count up.
Fri.day - Dont count yourself out just yet - I had (and still have) not a single pregnancy symptom. I felt more preggers with PMS symptoms than I ever have in the last few weeks. No sickness, no sore boobs, nada, and theoretically I should have double any symptoms.
Yellow hen - I had a single month using the boots own brand OPK's after that I went on the internet for the cheapies for mere pennies. The chemist ones would ruin ya financially! I dont mind wasting the cheap ones because the worked out at about 50c each.0 -

Ah yes it was you, sorry.
Great idea, I've found it really useful and it is funny opening up the pages of the diary & seeing random smiley faces and love hearts and +'s and -'s. It looks like a tween's diary!
Re the opk's yellow hen. When I got the positive this month, it coincided with other symptoms of ovulation and I'd made a point of following what Deanna says on the sperm meets egg plan of how to do them. She says do it in afternoon or after work, don't drink anything or pee for about 4hrs beforehand. Last month I was all over the place with my opk's and didn't see anything substantial come up on them. I got the 7 pack in Tesco's (own brand) and it was about 8 euro so not too bad.
I will say that I guess there is the danger of relying on them too much & only having a bunch of sex when they tell you to rather than keeping up a steady enough every-second-day routine.
I guess it's probably safer to go off the signs your body gives that it's ovulating. When I think about it mine are kind of obvious - Egg white type stuff, randy as hell, feel great, skin nice etc etc. 0 -

thanks ladies, will start doing the diary.
Dont think there is much point poas as dtd this morning and spottd very lightly afterwards...have never done that before (altho AF was originally supposed to be due today and i've never been early before either). Why is my body acting up this month???!!!! grrr! so frustrating!
THink an evening on the sofa with a big tub of ice cream might be in order tonight
Get a relaxing evening in before we start the monthly sex marathon
Jesus i think if i do ever get preggers, i'l put a chastity belt on for nine months!0 -

That sounds hopeful so... how long have you left on 2week wait?
Very exciting.
I don't really know! I'm 3 or 4 days past ovulation, so a week and a half left judging by that. The only thing is my period is actually due in the next 6 or 7 days as I ovulated on day 20 or 21 of a 29-30 day cycle. Though I did have a 33 day cycle during the summer, so perhaps I'm just having a long cycle this time too.

Yep I have you in my head all day today, Neyite`s twins and no symptoms!!!...trying not to get down til i know one way or the otherThat's crap Fri.day, hope you're not too bummed out. Maybe there's still a chance, most accurate on or after day period due and all that.
2 week wait now. I think AF should be due 24th Oct. If we're preg on this cycle we'll be due early July - summer babies!
Didn`t get period today so kept my head although I`m very guilty of looking way too far ahead - if I`m pregnant Im due June 18/20th :rolleyes:
In the book "taking control of your fertility" she says when you ovulate outta your right side you will feel a little swelling/lump in the groin area on the same side afterwards, like a swelled lymph node or some point there!!!Been having some fairly insistent pains around my right ovary. (The one I believe I ovulated from.) I assume it's the corpus luteum cyst but I don't remember it ever being like this any other month. 0 -
If your luteal phase after ov is normally lets say 12 days then you count from ov for 12 days and thats when af should be due, if I remember how it was explained in taking charge of your fertility... dont have the book to hand to check but that's what I remember from it... so prob a long af this month, but hoping it doesnt come at all for you! :babdust: !I don't really know!
