I think I got 3 attempts in my girl sway! :(

[maximbella]

Ladies, curious to get your thoughts. We were BDing e4d for our girl sway, but since DH wasn't really on board for trying too hard, I went with the flow (between 3-4 days). This cycle had a very delayed O and was kind of all over the place. With Valentine's Day and going with the flow, I think I might have gotten 3 attempts in unintentionally. I got dotted cross hairs this morning and trying not to freak out, but scared that this will now be a boy sway. With both DD's, they were 0-3 and 0-2 with a cutoff, so thinking this is different territory. Please share your honest thoughts!!

Let's see what your temps are like over the next few days first. If the crosshairs are in deed correct, then you only had 2 attempts in your fertile window.

It is also very possible that you haven't ovulated yet, even though you have some signs. You very well could just now be getting ready to ovulate. I found in my cycles with such delayed ovulation, I would gear up to ovulate late only to end up ovulating even later.

FX for you!

XX i dont know wether to thank you or like your post so i liked it but wanted to actually say thank you too LOL...this is basically what i told her. Her temp is really close to where id like to see it to confirm ovulation but JUST enough off that i think it could still be today/tomorrow that the egg actually pops. This is why i hate FF...their crosshair system sucks unless your body is REALLY good and REALLY regular.

[cosmosis]

FF...their crosshair system sucks unless your body is REALLY good and REALLY regular.

I personally don't think the crosshair system is accurate regardless and especially for those making dietary changes for swaying. It is just an estimate.

Maxim, like I said on the other thread, I'd remove all OPK results from your chart because it does affect how the crosshairs show up. You can use your OPK results to back up your temps and other sypmtoms after the matter.

FF also will need alot more data from you, not just the 3 days passed alleged ovulation date. You still have to continue your e4d pattern until the very end of your 2ww. :)

[atomic sagebrush]

That is 2 viable attempts. You did exactly what I wanted you to do.

[atomic sagebrush]

There is no scenario in which that was 3 attempts. It's 2 max

[maximbella]

Thanks...I took out all opk's, new chart:

It looks to me like you Oed. Regardless of what OPK say

[cosmosis]

Maxim, do you have today's chart? :D

[maximbella]

Temp went down quite a bit today. Had a super dark opk cheapie, but not sure if it was quite positive. Most confusing month ever for me....

[cosmosis]

It is possible to dip below your cover line more than once during the 2ww. You could also be gearing up to O. We will only know as time goes by. How was your test yesterday?

[maximbella]

To complicate it even more, I'm flying from NYC to San Francisco today for work so will be 3 hours behind all week for temps. Perfect. [emoji849]

Cheapie opk was very dark, digi still says high (not peak).

[Burakoam]

Did you pack your digitals? Make sure you take one again tonight if you have a dark cheapie! Post a picture if you have one

[maximbella]

No, forgot the digi but do have the cheapies. What do you think, positive? I'll go tomorrow before meetings and get the digi. We did BD this morning at 7am, so hoping that will hold out if I don't O until this week when I'm out of town (until Friday, augh!).

THAT!!!! That is a BLAZING positive!!! i am so glad you had an attempt this morning! and THAT is how mine looked about 3 days before my egg popped :) You got this maxim! so glad you had an attempt this morning. Will you be home by tuesday or wednsday?

[MiaMelb]

Morning BD and a +opk, finally sounds like a good day for you:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Shannshaff]

I would say hat is def a +OPK!!! Glad you got your attempt in this morning. Looks great!

[maximbella]

YAY, okay that makes me happy to hear that this one is FINALLY positive!! I don't get back home until Friday evening, unfortunately...so really hoping that I O sooner than later! And best news is that it would be one attempt! ;)

[cosmosis]

Yay! deffo a positive OPK. What did the test before this look like? Keep testing every day.

[Roedinga1]

Wahoo Maxim!! Positive OPK + attempt! Now you can relax just a little! ☺

Thanks ladies! Cosmo, the day before was dark but def not positive. Yesterday evening was definitely the darkest. I walked down to the CVS last night for the digi with just a circle or smiley. Got a O in pm with a 2 hour hold, and then I just got this with fmu, so possibly causing a false positive? Can you use fmu with this version?

I'm having terrible AF like cramps and my temp went up a bit today. Strangest month for me...

Those look like the pink ones, and you can use urine from anytime of the day with those. You are in a great shot for pink! I had an attempt too about 2-3 days before I ovulated! FX the egg drops soon!!

Yes, it's the pink ones! Okay, so I'll keep testing during the day! I've never had such bad cramping before, is that from it being so delayed?? Feels worse than AF.

I did, but it was a new pack (left mine in NYC and flew out of town last night). I had a less than 2 hour hold with last nights test and it was a circle, than this morning got that smiley. Does that count??

[Burakoam]

She did Cosmo :)

Yes because the first test registers a baseline of your hormones that's why it was low. If you had tested again just 2 hrs after that it would have been solid even then.

Excellent maxim. Your O was in deed very late and delayed so it's gonna hurt. Picture the nice plump egg popping out after all that hard work and you will understand why. Your body had to really work to get that sucker out lol I took Aleve my cramping was so bad with my last O that resulted in this pregnancy. She has been fine.. but Tylenol would probably be safer or if you can tough them out nothing at all.

Now that this has happened you know what a positive OPK looks like for you. Yours get perfect dark like mine did so its easier to know when a positive is a positive. since that stark positive came yesterday and the digi couldn't confirm until this morning I'd say you are 12+ hours into your surge already and with your pain cosmo is right that egg popped today. So you have some good swimmers waiting for it I am sure :) fingers crossed maxim

Good morning ladies! FF gave me cross hairs this morning. It's showing o day as the first day I got and posted that positive cheapie. The next morning (cd38) I had terrible bloating and cramping and the digi registered a positive. Could FF be wrong by one day? I think it could have been on CD 38 instead of 37 how they have it? What are your thoughts?

[Roedinga1]

I think you're right maxim, I would vote CD38. Maybe one more temp tomorrow would make that more clear. I always have bloating and cramping on O day too!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[cosmosis]

Yes, it can be wrong and in your case it is likely. Ovulation tends to happen during the rise, not the dip. Not everyone gets an "ovulation dip" and it really bothers me that FF likes to insist ovulation happens during a dip lol. You can manually adjust it to CD38 if it helps you keep track.

[maximbella]

Ok agreed, thanks ladies!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Burakoam]

i think FF tries to cover its butt by always making the first true positive OPK the day of O for ladies because there are some who really do ovulate quickly within their surge. Some of those ladies are even on here! however its not alot or even the majority so really FF is fail LOL..its why i temped by writing temps down to get an idea of where my temps were but never plugged them in to something like FF..i just dont like their set up. Agreed with cosmo and Roe that O day was CD 38

[maximbella]

Ok awesome, I'll override over next few days if temp stays up (scared to jinx it). Glad you guys agree, I think timing wouldn't have been great if it was CD37.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[foxtrotmama]

I think CD38 looks more likely too.

[maximbella]

Thanks fox, glad to see you guys agree!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[XXforhubby]

I bet FF will move your crosshairs to CD38 when you get more temps. If you're in advanced mode it should. They moved mine when that happened my BFP cycle.

The least pregnant I've ever felt in a TTC cycle right before testing was the cycle I got pregnant with DS2. Every other cycle I've had twinges or nausea or something, that cycle I felt nothing at all and almost stopped testing before I got my BFP.

[maximbella]

Fox, same here exactly!! I had nausea like you couldn't believe last month, which made me totally believe I was pregnant.

FF moved the cross hairs with a dotted line:
