hello there, i was just wondering does it matter what time dh and i ttc whilst i'm ovulating? does it make a difference if we ttc in the morning or night time? is there a better time? and also is just once a day enough? these opk kits drive me nuts as the line is not quite as dark as the control line and i just get too confused so i figure we will just try everyday while there is some sort of line there! is that the best option do u think?
I used an opk this time and my dh was doing lots of overtime at work, so the only time we dtd was the night before I o'd (I had gotten a line almost as dark as the control line that morning) and it worked! Usually i would suggest the day before and the day of O, but we just did it the once cos of night shifts...
Good luck!
Thanks for that, congratulations to u! :dance: all the best for a sticky one! did u try for long?
there was a tip bit in the paper the other week were someone had done a study ( of who I have know Idea) where he worked the best time of day for both enjoyment and to concive is 5pm dont know if its true I have three kids and I can tell you now none of them would have been made a 5 pm LOL but give it a go if it works let us know I might just use it next time to have number 4 LOL
LOL mumisabella - we didn't try for long at all... 1 month with ds1, 2 months this time! And both times we really only dtd the day before O!
wow! someone is fertile lol! well dh and i dtd at 3am yesterday morning (before he had to go to work- so tired!) and then 2pm yesterday i got a positive LH surge on opk but we didnt manage to have sex last night (after i detected the surge) and we have not had sex today yet - even tho it is still only morning! does dtd before i detected the surge count? and if we have sex tonight that will still be good wont it? i just really dont wanna miss that little egg :lol:
thanks for all the help x x x
I would say the more the better.. unless hubby has sperm issues
Dtd before the surge is good... assuming spermies are healthy they'll hang around for a few days so will still be there when you Ov.
Good luck!!!
With this one, we dtd two days before O. Sperm can last up to 5 days so u should be right honey. I have my fingers crossed for u
oh thankyou to you all for your help and advice! i'm a little new to this whole ttc thing so please bare with me! you have all been wonderful. i have my fingers crossed for u all to. Baby Dust to everyone! lots of love and luck x x x:grouphug:
good luck mumisabella!!!!! My theoryis that if you get a surge using th OPK then go crazy!! do it as much as you can for a couple of days hehe!!!!!! that is what we did and it worked first go of using the OPK's.
I hope we caugh the eggie.. we have been b-ding like there is no tomorrow and i got a postive opk 3 days ago!
oh fingers crossed for us both!:crossfingers: we have been dtd everyday since so hope it has been enough so far lol! baby dust x x x
from what I have read, at least 2 days before O and one day after.
For the best oportunity, as soon as you start to get EWCM you go for it each day until it stops.
oh I am really over b-ding...!!!!!!!!!
oh me too!! but at least i know that i have hopefully covered the important days and dtd so much really made me more relaxed about it and not so padantic about whether we are doing it enough lol. now i think i am on the 2WW... its not so bad so far.. give me another few days and i might be a lil curious ;) i am starting a new job this week so hopefully that will take my mind off the whole waiting game and time will fly and HOPEFULLY a BFP will show up! Baby Dust :pray: x x x
