Sunbunny-I'm Soo sorry! That temp drop does look disheartening. Praying that it's wrong and you get a BFP

Question about frequency. Would the every 4 day schedule kill two birds with one stone so to speak? I know atomic is moving away from frequency but it's something I would like to "check off" on my sway. So, it would establish frequency and also one attempt

Go for it! It didn't work for me- I had to do every 3 days. We started BDing much earlier and continued well after my temp rise.

I would try it and switch to every 3 days if it doesn't work out. I'm glad we did, because I couldn't get a positive opk either, and I usually do!

I know... So disheartening [emoji17] I did 3 days this time around. I fell the first month of ttc with both my boys but I was pretty healthy and unintentionally swayed boy looking back. I don't want to go back there and repeat the same things so next month will do as xx recommends.. Each 3 days early on and way past temp rise.

If opks worked for me I would definitely try the one attempt at positive opk because with every 4 days you could end up being ovulation less 4 days which does decrease your chances of conceiving. What have you tried so far? How many months have you been ttc?

XX can you tell us starting what day of cycle did you do the bd and what other days did you continue?

XX can you tell us starting what day of cycle did you do the bd and what other days did you continue?

We BD CD3 (very light flow- spotting), CD5, CD8 (still no pos opk) CD11, CD13, and CD17.

I either ovulated CD10 (1 attempt in fertile window), or CD12 (2 attempts in fertile window). As dark as all my tests were, I believe I Oed on CD10.

My fertility was $h!t- I had FSH of 45 in November! I was doing acupuncture and adding Yoga on top of my cardio to improve fertility and mental well being. I was on a version of LE diet for 1 year, always did the exercise, lost 18 lbs, and weaned DS2 the cycle before we conceived. Not to mention I was sleep deprived 80% of the time! In a nutshell, my maternal condition was $h!t!

This really is a miracle that required divine intervention/persistence!

Don't ever give up! Keep reworking! Learn to let go, let be. I never thought it would happen and I had finally accepted that. Total opposite from how I have been my entire life.

FX, GL, and [emoji120]for all of you!

I hear you Eleena... I'm exactly the same. I'm 14 dpo.. No spotting or AF yet all BFN and temp drop. Hook hopefully it'll be our turn next month.

Plus you're only 10 dpo. Plenty of time for a BFP. Fx for you!

Have u had any symptoms before this bfp?

[Sunbuny]

Not really... There was one night I had slight lower back pain, the next night I had very slight cramping and couldn't sleep till I ate a massive middle of the night snack but that's it. I don't sound pregnant do I? I had a lot more cramping with my other 2 pregnancies.

Actually just remembered I was so depressed and emotional last week but didn't really think that could be a symptom. It probably wasn't... I was probably just having a long moment

Yes! Straight away. I'm in Australia so it's Friday night here[emoji2] he is over the moon. I was about to tuck into my pasta with salt and pepper and a glass of coke zero..

Huge congrats Sunbuny! ICs are crap, I wouldn't expect a line on most for a few days yet. That FRER line is amazing; I don't think you implanted late, I think your other tests are just not very sensitive. I bet you habe a strong, healthy embie snuggled in firmly. Hopefully pink too! :)

I got my positive OPK and will try to BD today so that I aim for O-1 timing, which I haven't achieved once since swaying. My last attempt was on CD13, I'm on CD17. So I'll be starting the TWW on Sunday if all goes well and I O when expected.

this will be month 3..i know that's not a long time but we won't be attempting again until june. that will be 6 months on LE, not to mention how much longer it will take after june.

last cycle, i had an ultrasound and BW on day 13. i had been doing OPK's since day 9 with no positive. so, my ultrasound showed 4 follicles and BW stated i was starting to ovulate. we BDed that night...went for followup ultrasound and blood work on day 16. i had ovulated two follicles..so, i'm thinking i need the every 4 days as opposed to +OPK as i've never seen a positive. (including the month before)

Congrats again!!! enjoy the weekend of eating yummy things! have a bowl of cereal for me

Thank you! No, the opks weren't working for me and another cycle I had one attempt at o-4 so this month we tried every 3 days so o -3 and ovulation day. Hopefully this doesn't hurt my sway. Too late now anyway... Hopefully my maternal condition was poor enough to sway girl. I'm the lightest weight now that Ive been since I was a teenager.

I know 3 months isn't long in the world of TTC but it is difficult when you're trying to change your lifestyle by your diet and exercise whether it be the LE or HE diet. You must be like me in that the opks don't seem to work for you. I hope this is going to be your month. Fx!

I've never heard anyone claim ICs were sensitive. Quite the opposite! It's standard knowledge that they are insensitive & unreliable. FRER is the super sensitive gold standard.

I'm just 1DPO, if that (had some thermometer issues this am). I FEEL like I've Oed but that's not necessarily reliable.

I usually start spotting yesterday.its now Monday morning and I have a few cramps but still not seeing spotting.im not usually late but I have noticed af has been coming later and later over the last few months. Like a few months ago I would start with a heavy flow early hours Sunday morning and last month i didn't start spotting till Sunday evening . I dunno. Don't wanna get my hopes up

7dpo here and already convincing myself I have symptoms of slight nausea. I'm actually probably just hungry :)

Only 5 more days for me to wait. If I'm not pregnant this month then my cycle has nicely lined up with the daylight saving time change here so it won't mess up my chart! Although I would much rather be pregnant so I don't have to worry about eating too many easter eggs!

If your AF is regular and she hasn't arrived by now then I would rely on that more and say you are probably pregnant.

I honestly don't know. I don't have any symptoms.. as I said before I usually have tender boobs as a sign of Pms but they haven't been as tender this month. I have had cramps as if af is about to come but not seen anything at all. How many dpo are you ?

[eleena2014]

Oh I have noticed I've been feeling more tired than usual

I had a missed miscarriage in Nov. They have been regular since then but more heavier and painful . I noticed my cycle slowly getting slightly longer. In Dec af came on a Saturday (I go by days.lol) then it gradually kept pushing further like january it was sat evening, then feb Sunday morning. Last month I was spotting by Sunday evening with a full flow by Monday. So I dunno maybe she is just late.

Eleena did you BD every 3/4 days all month? It sounds like you are Oing later than usual considering the longer cycles recently. 99% of the time BFN and AF 'late' means you Oed later than you think.

I finally got cross hairs today at 3DPO but I'm not too impressed by my initial post O temps. I almost wonder if I Oed later.

[eleena2014]

No we abstained for a week. Then he helped himself before we dtd Sunday then I got a darker opk Tuesday so we dtd Tuesday too. Then I think we bd Saturday. Like I said before I'm sure I ovulated Tuesday as I had loads of clear cm. And wed I had none.

[eleena2014]

Still a negative test. 3 days late now

I don't think there is anything I can do differently. I know approx I will ovulate on cd 15 so we will bd on cd 10 ,14 and 18 and maybe have another go at +opk

[eleena2014]

I'll go by days because now I'm late in not sure what days in my cycle we bd. I thought I was due to ovulate on a sunday so we bd then although I didn't get a +opk I tested again on Monday and noticed it was fading in. Tuesday it was almost positive so we dtd that night and I am so sure I ovulated that night. Then I think we bd again on the Friday.

I'm so sorry Eleena and healthy girl. My temps are very low so I'm sure I'll be joining you soon. This April cycle will be lucky! Big hugs!

I've been really sick with a middle ear infection. I was at different doctors Sat, Sun, Mon, and today and am now on a really aggressive set of medicines because the newest Dr said if the infection did not start improving soon I was very close to being admitted for the hospital for sudden deafness. It has been very painful and debilitating and that is why I haven't been on. My temps haven't been anything to go by as many nights I couldn't sleep but they are so low that I am sure AF will be here very soon. It is what it is, hopefully next cycle will be different and I'll also be healthy soon!
