Longtime lurker:)

[belleboi]

I've been a lurker for a few months and love this forum! Thank you for all the invaluable information. I've been on the eat-everything-i-see diet for 8 weeks now, have been doing some serious weight training 3 times a week, taking my supps and drinks religiously, etc. I have one practice cycle after getting off of HBC, with an O day on either cd 20 or 21.

Im on CD 19 currently and have had some weirdish things going on. At first I was tracking my temps using two decimal points, and was given an O day of CD 12! I thought that couldn't be right, as I had absolutely no secondary signs of ovulation. Come to find out, I needed to round to one decimal point and discard the one temp I took over 90 minutes from the norm. FF now says it has yet to detect ovulation. I've had either EWCM/watery CF since CD 16 (markedly less so today, though) and my cervix is high, soft, and open. My OPKs are negative though...very faint lines on all. I don't think I could miss my LH surge because I've been doing my OPKs at least every 5 hours. What's going on?

We BD yesterday morning, we are going to again tonight...but does it look like my O day will be tomorrow? I'm getting a little worried now. Thank you for any and all insight!

Here's my FF link:)

Hi and glad you came out of lurkdom.

Coming off hormonal BC can make you have weird cycles and chrts to be sure.

I do not think you've Oed yet.

I honestly can't say or predict when you'll O. It looks like it's coming because of the cervical position though. As long as you're having EWCM you are good to go on attempts, def. be in with anoher attempt tonight (and hope you got one in last night!)

[The Anchor]

Welcome aboard! I don't think you've O'd. Have you gotten +OPKs in the past? A good trick is to hold your pee for 4 hours, and no fluids for the last 2 hours. Sometimes your urine is too dilute get a +.

[belleboi]

Thanks for the advice, ladies! I got one positive OPK last month on CD 21 although I most likely ovulated on CD 19 or 20 (so those OPKs weren't very helpful!). I've been holding urine and trying not to dilute too much although I'm trying to keep my CF plentiful as well...such a fine line!

I just tested at noon today and got another negative OPK. Cervix is a little lower than yesterday, still watery CF...so I really don't know what to think. I've updated my FF link above with this morning's temp which is just .1 degree different from yesterday:think:

We BD this morning again (was exhausted last night, lol!) Will try again tomorrow night or Thursday morning as I'm trying to keep DH's sperm count sky high:)

[belleboi]

URGENT! LOL It's 5:30 PM and I just got a smiley on a CB! Now I wish we wouldn't have BD this morning, ughhhh. What should we do? Wait until tomorrow afternoon? I need his sperm to regenerate! LOL

[bluebonnet22]

Once you get a smiley just BD as much as possible.

[belleboi]

I plan on DTD at least once today. I have another question though:

Would our BD on CD 18 count as an attempt? I know our attempt on CD 20 (yesterday) counts. I'm just trying to get three attempts as that seems to have the most success in the spreadsheet.

[atomic sagebrush]

As long as you're in fertile window then that is the important thing. The sperm don't need to regenerate in the fertile window. YOu're just ading more and more sperm so it doesn't matter if it's regenerated or not.

Yes, BD on CD 18 still counts.

[belleboi]

Ok wonderful! We got one in this morning...will try again tonight although I doubt it bc Wednesdays are his super busy (and loooong) days at work.

[belleboi]

I need some reassurance that moon signs don't mean anything, lol. Yesterday it was in a male sign and today until the next week we are in female territory. I just checked with my friends who know their O dates and 6/8 births were right:hair:

[belleboi]

I think we are about to be in the 2WW! If I get another temp rise tomorrow it will confirm O day as CD 21 (or maybe CD 20). We BD CD 18, 20, and 21. so that would be O-3, O-1, and O...sounds good? I hope?

Moon signs don't mean anything!! REmember, swaying works because something in the environment indicates that a boy has a better shot of survival to adult, and the moon up in the sky really can't have any bearing on that. Does it really make any sense that one week different moon position could matter for a man's lifelong chances of survival???

Yes great!!!

[belleboi]

Yes great!!!

aww it didn't happen! I'm the one with the multiple +OPKs, LOL. I had a .2 degree temp rise this morning, we BD this morning too, but if my temp keeps going up it'll mark yesterday as O day which kind of sucks, because we will only have 1 attempt in and that would be O-2...and I guess the one this morning won't count. :(

Well, you never know, temps are funny things sometimes. Sending you a ton of superpowerful atomic blue dust.
