I am only CD10 and so was expecting a +OPK tues/wed next week but I just got a very positive test! We've only abstained 6 days and only been taking Zyrtec for 2 days....what do I do??
Do I leave it and hope I still have a +OPK tomorrow or BD tonight???
I thought I had our plan sorted for the week but this very positive OPK has thrown me off. :(

I know Atomic said to me to BD if it was positive 1-2 days early, but this is like 4 days earlier! :worry:

I would db too if it was a 100% positive test. Supps and diet may change your cycle. Can you feel other signs of O coming up now?
I can't really answer about the abstaining, but as I have understood the one attempt only is more important than abstaining or fr. I might be totally wrong here, but would a fr hurry up-model (think I read about it here somewhere) be an alternative? To have him realease first on his own and then bd soon after?
Good luck to you!!

Did.you have two positives in a row last month? X I would BD then keep testing in case its a false positive x

Thanks Marika. I have felt crappy all day and did have some EWCM this morning. I'm not doing temps so don't have that to help. I've also had mild "period" type pain but thought that may have been the refresh.
Yeah, maybe the release then attempt is a good idea. :) Need to get the kiddies to bed early! Lol!! How long should we have between a release and then BD?
Ahhhggghh...I know I'm supposed to relax but feeling nervous now. ;)

I understand you totally! I got nervous too when we had our attempt the other day. I got a pos opk one day earlier than I expected and tried to analyze weather it was strong enough or if we shold wait. A few hours later it was as positive as those tests ever get, so we did the attempt. Husband was so stressed out about it he almost didn't make it! He does agree to sway (even though I do most swaying parts as diet) but thinks many things are crazy and found the fr for 9 days on his own was a bit tough.
About the hurry up fr thing I would try to find some more info or get a second opinion. I am quite a newbie here so a bit afraid of giving advice :-) My thoughts were just that if 4 days of abstain is not counted as a great abstain, then the other alternative might be better. But if you have some more time before the kids get to sleep you might be able to get some more input on that!

The kids seem to "know" that I'm supposed to be relaxed and that we want them in bed....they're being nightmares! Lol!! ;)

I would definitely attempt right away with a strong positive. Having missed my O once, I can tell you it's better to be a bit early than at all late! Remember sperm can live for days and it can take 12 hours after BD for the sperm to be capable of fertilization, while the egg is only viable for maybe 12 hours.

there is very little difference between abstain of 6 and 7 days. There is not some switch that gets flipped,it's just that we have to pick a day and that's what we picked. BD now to be sure you're in ahead of potential ovulation, but keep testing in case it's a faker.

Ok, so we had an attempt last night (after I did about 5 tests to make sure ;) ) but it's till positive this morning? Should we leave it at the one attempt?? :think:

Yes, Just one. I got 3 days of positives last cycle. You could of just caught the very beginning on your surge, then it going back down, if that makes sense
