Second time around

I'll admit that when we first started TTC last cycle (early July), I wasn't doing anything to really pinpoint exactly when I would O. I was just half-assing and we only BD twice during what we thought was our window, which turned out to be a bit too early according to hindsight calculations.

This time I was prepared. I did BBT charting and was diligent with my OPK tests, BUT I got too gung-ho, too soon and kinda ruined the romantic aspect of our BDing.

Stats (which I will continue to update):
7/31 - CD11 - BD
8/01 - CD12 - nothing to report
8/02 - CD13 - OPK-, EWCM, BD
8/03 - CD14 - OPK+, BD
8/04 - CD15 - OPK+
8/05 - CD16 - OPK-, BD
8/06 - CD17 - OPK-, BBT dip 96.5 (pretty sure O was here)
8/07 - CD18 - 1DPO, BBT spike 98.2, BD
8/08 - CD19 - 2DPO (gassy/bloated)
8/09 - CD20 - 3DPO (mildly crampy)
8/10 - CD21 - 4DPO BBT 98.4 (dull crampy, heavy/sore boobs)
8/11 - CD22 - 5DPO BBT 98.4 (vivid dreams)
8/12 - CD23 - 6DPO BBT 98.2 (heavy/sore boobs, vivid dreams)
8/13 - CD24 - 7DPO BBT 98.6 (heavy/sore boobs (sorer today), mild/dull cramps, vivid dreams, nausea/diarrhea this morning, bit of a hot flash and pretty moody)
8/14 - CD25 - 8DPO HPT something is there, but barely! BBT 98.5, (heavy/sore boobs)
8/15 - CD26 - 9DPO HPT very faint positive omg! BBT 98.1 (bigger, sore boobs, fluttery feelings in lower abdomen)
8/16 - CD27 - 10DPO HPT slightly less faint positive! BBT 98.6 (same symptoms + backache)
8/17 - CD28 - 11DPO HPT positive! BBT 98.7 (no symptoms really...odd)
8/18 - CD29 - 12DPO HPT positive! BBT 98.4 (sore boobs, very bloated/uncomfy, mild cramps)
8/19 - CD30 - 13DPO HPT positive! BBT 98.1 (same)

Basically by the time we really needed to BD, I had kinda worn him out haha. But what do you think...do you think our chances are remotely good? I'm definitely not getting my hopes up.

So I'm sitting here at 3 DPO (I think haha) with AF due on Aug 20. This two week wait thing blows haha.

Good luck to us all!
