I'm cd9 and starting digi opk testing tomorrow morning 😀 haven't used them in ages but going all out for my last cycle lol. Took my last clomid tablet this morning and just have to hope it delays o although we are getting a heap of rain atm (thank god as everything was dry and dying/dead) that may close roads between us and mum so I may be home over the weekend after all. Anyway excited to see what the next few days brings!
Good luck everyone!

Good luck!!! It's looking like tomorrow will be full blown af for me. What sucks about that is it means I have to go in for bloodwork on my early starting work day. That means I have to get up an hour and a half earlier than usual tonight get my blood drawn before work. Ugh!!!! I am not a morning person, so this is going to be especially difficult for me. :/ Hopefully it'll all be worth it with a bfp for my last cycle!!! :D

I wasn't going to, but my type A personality took over! ;) But I am doing it more low key - taking temps in am (missed a few days) and trying not to overanalyze my OPK's, which I just started taking. Really hoping that I O earlier this cycle. We are going away for our anniversary trip next week and I'm afraid if I O around that time, I'll get multiple attempts in my window and sway blue... :big smile:
Trying to relax as much as possible so that I O in next few days...

Hey max since you mentioned it. What is the reasoning behind having to many attempts swaying boy? I really probably look to far into this and want an explination for everything lol but TTC for my husband means it's free range all the time and that's what makes it fun for him I guess! So I will always pretty well have to many attempts :( but my diet is strict and I pray that's good enough

What has worked very clearly on this forum is ONE attempt for a girl and multiple attempts for boy. Swaying involves many different factors not just one or the other or any one supplement. For your case, you should post in the general swaying forum and ask Atomic for some advice.
You should get very clear on swaying and also have a good talk with DH so he'll be more cooperative. :) Good luck!

Thanks cosmos how scary is it only having one attempt though? I'm going to be a nervous wreck wondering if I can actually get pregnant on one attempt..
who else here sticks with only one attempt?
foxtrotmama
March 21st, 2017, 10:51 AM
Unless you're in a hurry, it's best to stick to one attempt. The next step up would be every four days plus an attempt at positive OPK. Once you start adding in attempts you start getting more and more blue. I would definitely keep one attempt if you haven't been on the diet long and aren't in a hurry.
maximbella
March 21st, 2017, 10:57 AM
cosmo and fox, how are you feeling??
ashfind, I'm doing every 4 days plus one attempt at positive opk (when it comes). It looks like that's getting good girl sways, so I'll definitely be doing that. With both DD's, I followed this somewhat without knowing it, but I think my diet is very acidic and therefore girl friendly, which probably helped sway girl.
AshFind
March 21st, 2017, 11:11 AM
Alrighty that helps! I'll be doing every 4 plus one at + that would give me a little more peace of mind to have a couple in there. But I'll have to get dh on board which may be difficult lol

Sorry Pbn. I'm really hoping o is delayed for you!!
I'm going in for my blood work and ultrasound tomorrow morning! They called and scheduled it. They were basically going to do everything the same as last cycle. That made dh annoyed so he called them and explained that it's our last cycle so we really want to up our game. The nurse said she'd talk to my RE and see what he thinks. My other RE was going to start me at 125iu of gonal-f and my current RE was going to do 75iu again. I really want more than one egg!!!! Hopefully he'll go along with the 125iu!!

Pbn-I don't have tapatalk. I do have FF, but haven't been taking temps, so there's not a lot of info. I found my basal thermometer, so I'm going to start taking my temp tomorr AM! We moved in Jan so things are out of their usual places. Not sure how to add my chart to my signature, so working on that :)
Ash-I'm also doing E4D and once at pos OPK. My OPK test line is still pretty dark..hoping it fades then gets darker again. It was hard for me to grasp the concept of 1 attempt as well, but since there have been good pink results reported here, I'm going along with it in hopes of my DD!! We had a lot of attempts for both of my boys, so maybe 1 attempt along with diet etc will be the answer we're looking for!
Moma-sorry for the frustration at the dr, but glad you are getting somewhere now!

Ok so I'm wondering if this could even be possible.... could I have oed yesterday cd9/this morning on cd10??? Seems impossible but this mornings temp was 37.10 which I haven't put in as its a after o range temp and I had a few wines so figured maybe it was from that. However when I took my digi this morning and looked at the stick (I know its not reliable) it actually looks positive?? Or maybe a tail end surge? This would be impossible right as I only stopped taking clomid yesterday. My digi read not fertile of course as its my first one so will be interesting to see what tomorrows is...... I know clomid can give false pos opks but apparently it doesn't on the dual hormone digi. I'm thinking the clomid is messing with my temps and ny body doesn't know what's going on as I took them later this cycle lol. Weirdest thing is I had o pains last night and this morning too. Hoping I'm just building up to a really good o. No one has heard of ovulating same day of last clomid pill have you?

Hi ladies thought I'd join. Currently cd15 and just coming down with a sore throat today...of all days! So trying to nip it in the bud early. I ovulate between cd21-28. So actually hoping it's on the latter side near 28 this cycle to get rid of this sore throat by then.

No not bothering with bloods kc. Will see what happens over the next few days or week...... wouldn't be a very mature egg at cd9/10 so really hope in my effort to delay o by taking clomid later hasn't actually backfired and made me o early lol!

Yeah I read the same too Ash but my stick lines have always looked very positive at solid smiley as in test line almost always darker than control and would correspond with my dip tests if I was doing them, I also used to get a fade in so not sure what's going on but I'm sure by morning I'll have a lower temp again and a flashing smiley or maybe even open circle..... I'll find out in 8 hours or so anyway :) good night all!

My RE just called. I'm starting gonal-f injections tonight at 125iu. I do that every night until Monday morning when I go back for bloodwork again. FX this does the trick!!!
Last cycle I triggered on cd10. If that happened again, that would be March 30th. I hope I don't have to trigger too much before that. That would be a really early ovulation!! Cd10 would be perfect because then I could do the iui's on Friday and Saturday, which would be perfect! OMG I hope I grow 3 big, fat eggs!! :giggle::giggle::giggle:
Lola, it doesn't show up when I check it either. I think you have to go in on FF and tell it which charts to show.

Yay Pbn!!! I knew you didn't ovulate yet! :)
Maxim, your tests look like mine. I never normally (not on meds) get a nice fade in. They go from looking exactly like yours to being completely positive and dark. There's no notice before it goes to positive. I also usually get my first positive opk at night right before bed. So, don't worry about fade in. All that's important is that eventually you ovulate. :D I normally ovulate without meds. I just know that my opks are totally different when I am on meds. It seems like the months and months of me being on meds has screwed up my ovulation. Now I have a really weak ovulation and before I started meds, I always had a strong ovulation. Weird, huh?

No maxim I only use fmu as that is what the dual hormone ones use which I love because I really dislike restricting fluids and holding. Those ones you have aren't designed for fmu and your current testing times are great! Honestly even if your urine is abit diluted when you hit your peak I'm sure you'll still get a pos opk especially as your testing twice a day. There's no way you can get your hands on the dual hormone ones? Takes away the worry of urine concentrate. That way you can use fmu with them in the morning and your other ones in the evening. That could get very expensive though!

Hello Pbn3. Thankyou for a warm welcome. My bad, Like I said I got a little too excited. I still am figuring out a lot here. Never knew about this thread. Anyway, I will start over. [emoji4]
We are trying for blue. We have a dd who is 5. This will be our second and final child. Both Dh and I have been taking vitamins and I havebn on diet for a few months now. This is our first attempt. It may take long though. My cycle is 28 days long usually. Sometimes a few days late. I havebn using Clearblue advanced opk and cheap eBay one. No flashing smiley yet though. I can never tell when I ovulate. Silly right. But I get my positive opk around cd14 or 15. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks again!

No suggestions as you sound like you have it under control :) plus I'm not up on the latest blue sway wise. But it sounds like you've been doing the HE diet for a good time now. Did you run your sway past atomic? If not I'd suggest starting a thread under the the ttc a boy subforum and just mention everything you've done/are doing, then you can get feedback from the lady that created this whole swaying business here. Also other blue swayers may offer some input as well, there's alot of blue swayers atm, more than I've seen in any case!
So you should be due for a flashing smiley at least in the next day or so, this will make you our first April tester I think 😀! Let's hope you start the bfp ball rolling for us all!! And also not silly at all to not know when you ovulate. I've been trying so long now I feel like I know my body inside out 😂😂 but in saying that I still temp to confirm as opks, pains, cm and cp are only a guide, often a very helpful guide but sometimes a confusing one lol.

I am trying to keep up with all the tips I got here. I have already asked a lot of questions from Atomic. She has bn so helpful and the other blue swayers too. You know I read this thread and realized that this one is for pink swayers. Right?
But I am glad that I posted here unknowingly. [emoji4]
I am hoping for a flashing smiley soon. I was using the pink one for the past 3 cycles and then to take the guess work out a bit more,bought the advanced one which shows flashing smiley and then stable. Fingers crossed. Are you swaying pink? Is it your first kid? 20 questions again. [emoji13] You are so sweet. I am not sure if I will be lucky to have a bfp in the first attempt. I sure hope to though. I have bn using opk for a few months. Never noticed anything except for the last month when had pain in one side. I guess they were o pains. Don't know for sure though. Lol

I'm using the advanced again too as I love being able to use fmu! This is my last cycle so I'm going all out lol. I'm really hoping I won't get a flashing smiley till Saturday or even better Sunday! I would normally o on cd14 (Sunday) but I took my clomid days 5-9 instead of 3-7 in the hopes of delaying it by a couple days fx fx fx!!! Looks like I may be going away with the boys for the weekend after all while dh is on night shifts so if I get a solid smiley before Monday then I'm screwed 😕 so please cross everything (except the legs, keep them open 😉😂) that my o is delayed....

I strongly, whole heartedly pray that your O gets delayed. Oh thankgod, I thought I hijacked the pink swayers posts. I am still figuring out a lot of things here. Just open and read in order to get tips. If you don't mind me asking, Why are you saying it's the last cycle? Again, I m clueless about a lot of things here. Also, did you use these opks for your boys? If yes, then do you remember the BD days after positive opk? Sorry for so many questions.

Ask away :) I'm on my last cycle because I've been trying since June 2015. Lost 3 pregnancies last year and I'm now looking at turning 39 in a few short months. I'm tired of ttc, popping pills etc and just want to move on one way or the other :)
Cant remember with my first if I even used opks. I think I was bding 3-4 times during my 'fertile week'. Ds2 again cant remember the brand opks but was using then and charting etc. Bd wise I specifically remember a Tuesday or Wednesday bd, friday pm (day of pos opk) and Saturday am the cycle I got pregnant (I stared at it over and over 😍). Got my crosshairs indicating o happened sometime during Saturday's 24 hour period. I was a big meat eater then, sometimes 3 times a day. Also with ds2 I had been doing some weights training, aerobics and treadmill to lose weight. Stopped when I fell pregnant.

I would bd every 2-3 days then get in an extra 2 or more attempts at pos opk. So if you get a pos opk tomorrow, bd tomorrow night, the following morning and night if possible. You'll end up with 3-4 attempts that way. Hope that's right lol! I'm abit rusty on the swaying things now :) If in doubt check with atomic.

You are absolutely right. Everyone here is doing the exact same number and times of BD to sway for boy. I m just scared to BD unprotected before positive opk so we used protection[emoji52].
I m sorry for your losses and I pray you get your sticky bean this time.I m turning 35 soon and I m really scared. I m also mad at myself for waiting so long to start trying. Hope we all get our happy healthy babies because that's what matters the most. Isn't it? I wish you all the best with all my heart. Thankyou for being so patient and kind. Much love and hugs.

Sure. I am kind of hung up on the idea of BDing a lot of days before O, sways girl. After coming here, I realized that a lot of things I read on other sites were not right but I m still scared to BD unprotected a lot of days before O. The idea of BD close to O is stuck in my mind.

Hi & welcome skyblue!! I have 2 boys and think I unknowingly swayed blue...of course they are amazing boys, but time for a girl now! I just wanted to get pregnant at the time & wasn't researching sways. A few things that I believe resulted in my boys: Preseed, FertileCM supplement, BD 2-3 times in fertile window and before. Atomic will tell you, but timing doesn't seem to matter, but amount of attempts do. I had a hard time accepting this, but giving my e4d and 1 at pos OPK a shot. I have never been on the HE diet and have been a vegetarian since I was 13, so I don't think diet in this case helped me conceive boys. However, there are certain "boy friendly" foods that I love that I have completely cut out this time (since last June) such as potatoes, bananas, salty foods & dry cereal. Don't know if this will really help, but makes me feel better. GL & sending my blue baby dust your way!!! With all of that being said-any factors that helped you ttc a girl the first time (even unknowingly?) :)

Hi sky, welcome!!
Ashfind, I had the same thing last cycle. I ended up stressing myself out so much over not getting the solid smiley that my O got delayed almost 3 weeks. I know it's hard, but try not to stress about it (as I'm in the same boat right now). It will happen...
On a totally different front.... One of my friends recently adopted a baby from China. They were pregnant and lost the baby at 37 weeks in utero. It was horrific and they decided that they didn't want to try again, and went the adoption route. My husband and I were talking about it last night and said that if we don't get pregnant this month, we are going to look into it as well. We are blessed with two beautiful girls, and as much as we want to have more of our own, there are so many babies and little ones in need. I looked briefly online and the stories are just so sad. Has anyone ever thought or looked into adoption?
AshFind
March 23rd, 2017, 01:05 PM
Max I have several friends who wanted to adopt but ended up going through the foster care system (in the us) and they get their choice of what babies/children they want to take because they always get a phone call first and they can say yes or no. I have two friends and between the both of them they have adopted 6 children this way. It's much cheaper you get 10k for taking in your first child and your definitely helping the children get out of an unsafe house and sometimes even an unsafe foster house! GL maybe this is why you haven't gotten your bfp yet. Something more is meant for you :)

Maxim-how sad, but wonderful that they were able to adopt! I don't have any helpful info to add, but that would be a win-win scenario in many ways-providing a baby with a home and then you get your sweet baby girl!
Question-I'm getting signs that I'm about to O, EWCM & the usual pain in my right side. I'm trying to stick with the e4d +1 with pos OPK plan. I seem to O around cd12/13, so I think it will happen this weekend. If my last BD day was Mon, should we BD today today(Thurs)or Fri? Which day would be better if I do end up with a pos OPK on Sat/Sun and get another attempt in? Or does it matter? Already getting nervous that I'm going to mess up the 1 attempt!!!

Thankyou Ashfind. I m waiting for the flashing opk which hasn't occurred yet. Dh and I were doing after Af but stopped two days back so that we can have our 3 attempts in the fertile window. E4+1 is hard I think. Specially during O.
My flashing smiley just appeared as we speak. Tmi. Lol. Now what. When would U think we should
Bding. Should I wait for solid smiley and how often should I test now. Thanks so much ladies for all your support.

Thankyou Lolabell. I am not using preseed but taking Mucinex and drinking a lot of grapefruit juice which helps with the boy sway. And eating the boy friendly food like you mentioned.
For my dd, We were ttc for 5-6 months and I remember that we didn't dtd a lot. I was dieting and skipped breakfast most days so swayed for a girl unknowingly. But we did try to dtd eod starting day 11 and beyond day 16 since we were getting worried and impatient. That is one of the reason I m scared to try unprotected before POS OPK. That's all I could remember.
I come from a family of a lot of girls and just one boy so sending you all the pink dust. All the best and so great to have u all sharing the same experience.

Lola stick with the e4d + 1 and try not to stress, remember that's why you switched to it :) bd today and again at pos opk. Even with your usual signs there is no way to be certain o will happen on time so stick to your plan. You're nearly there!!!! Alternatively you can hold off until pos opk which will give you your definate one attempt only but also lower odds of conception. Go with what your comfy with or do what I used to do and flip a coin :)
Ash I'm sorry you still have no flashing smiley :( hang in there! It will happen any day now and likely be less days of flashing before solid which will be a plus!
Maxim I would love to adopt and think its the most beautiful thing you can do for a child who has no one. It's heartbreaking to think there's even one child like that let alone millions :(
Skyblue yay for flashing smiley!! If your heart is set on no unprotected bding until pos opk then continue as you are until the smiley is solid. With these digis you can test more than once a day once its flashing but unless you know you have a short lh surge I would stick with testing using the fmu only. If you aren't successful this cycle then maybe consider additional testing at flashing smiley next cycle. How exciting!! You are one step closer to the 2ww!!!!

Yay pbn that's great it's holding off for you! And I'm thinking I may have fewer days of flashing since I'm using the same stick as last cycle.
Sky we have 4 boys and my husband is a machine we more than likely had 7 attempts in my 7 day fertile window lol and I'm not joking at all.... tmi it's exhausting sometimes haha!
Wow. So the mantra is to BD as much as possible irrespective of the time in cycle. Is it? Now I can imagine e4d must be a real struggle for you. Haha. Hang in there.

I just did the test again since it's my first month using the advanced one. I was using the pink ones for a couple of cycles. Still flashing and I just got curious and did that pink one too and it's blank. I guess I m a little scared to trust the purple Clearblue opk. Those reviews didn't help much either on some swaying sites.

Sky it depends on many things put together not just bd frequency, or timing etc. 7 attempts in a row will sway pink for some and can really lessen the odds of conception (hence the idea it sways pink as hubbys swimmers are not recovering optimally between nightly bd's) I really wouldn't recommend this at all for you. Eod (e2d) sways strongly blue if you think that would be easier than a cluster of attempts at pos opk. Multiple attempts have shown to be the best blue sway wise but this of course is in conjuction with the diet etc. Hope this helps :)

That looks positive to me Lola but I've not gotten any experience with these yet. Sky I think the pink only gives you your O day but the purple ones start flashing from what I've seen 2-4 days before O so like once you get into your fertile window. I'm so ready to wake up and see what tomorrow's test brings! So ready for O to get here so I can then start worrying when to test for a bfp lol ...
YAY for all of us getting so close to the 2ww can't wait to see what the next couple weeks brings

I was also testing using strip tests some cycles too as I didn't know if I trusted the dual hormone digis lol. Was right for me, 98% of the time I oed day after solid smiley, the other 2% was when I got the solid once on o day and and a couple times 2 days after when I started testing at night too. That's why I went back to just fmu lol. I did many many cycles using these digis so luckily for me they've been super accurate! Hope they are the same for you!

So pb you have great advice for timing frequency. I've read before every day sways pink but then I've heard it's blue if hubby isn't for e4d +1 should I just got with as much as posssible to sway pink that way?

No ash it really can impede conception and while alot of us and our dh's like to think we can do 7 days in a row it really is a mammoth task and if dh cant perform one or two of those nights then you're back to square one. Why not bd whenever hubby wants to but use protection then bd once unprotected at pos opk? Could that work?

That's exactly what I am doing. Thankgod I used the pink one in the evening too because I may have screwed it up (advanced one)by testing more . I just wanted to check one more thing.
I usually get pos opk on day 15 which means O in next 24-48 hrs. That will be like day 17 or 18. And then I get AF on day 27 or 28. Does it sound normal. I have read something about luteal phase. What's that?

Dancingdiva, I usually drink Throat Coat tea with raw honey in it. You drink it like every 4 hours. It always does the trick for me. If you don't like the tea, you can just eat a tablespoon of honey every 4 hours. It has healing properties in it. I know it sounds like voodoo but it really works! :)

Since you ladies have been my sounding board, I am going to update on what the Dr finally said from the U/S report. I am not nearly as confident as they are. They said the Sac measured 5w4d and that since it was so early, that explains not seeing anything. Also, they did see an SCH - so that does explain the bleed. But my question is how could I have "just caught it very early" and got a BFP on 6dpo as they claim. I went in for my scan at 6w and only measured 5w4d. Not much difference, but could mean a lot. I got my fist BFP at 9dop...so there is NO WAY I am off 3 days on ovulation. They schedled a regular OB appointment and just want to go from there. UGH. That appointment is scheduled for 4/10 which puts me at 8w. If they want another scan, it would be another 2 weeks after that for me to be able to get one done without taking time off work and going in without the kids with us. I am just not sure what to do. Thoughts?

Big hugs shannshaff! I'll be very honest here and say exactly what I think :) When it comes to measurements this early in a pregnancy you'll find a thousand stories through dr google of people measuring behind and everything ends up fine. I agree that you wouldn't have got a bfp at 6dpo but perhaps bub took his/her sweet time nestling in :) this early in the pregnancy being off by a few days really does not mean much, it'll be your next scan that will seal the deal one way or another. Oh and the fact they seen a sch to explain the bleeding is terrific news!!! It's just terrible that you're in this limbo and if it was me I'd be guarding my heart. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. I'm hoping so much this will end happily for you, you've been through so much and its so unfair that you're having to deal with this uncertainty :( Please stay in contact here and post anytime especially the days you're at your lowest. We are all cheering for you and your little bean!! So the countdown begins for your scan which is 2 weeks away? Thinking of you always shannshaff and thinking of nothing but positive news to come xx

But I am using my same test stick as I used last month so it's possible I could get static tomorrow but I doubt it.

May be however the only difference between this cycle and others is that I m taking Mucinex and drinking a lot of water like really a lot. And drinking grapefruit juice. That's all. Everything else is just the same.

So, I need everyone's opinion.
Please
I just did the test and still flashing smiley and blank on pink one which is good in a way that both the opks are consistent. And may be I haven't messed up the purple advanced Clearblue one by testing more than ones a day.
But I also noticed CM is more slippery than before. Sorry tmi. Also, I checked my previous cycles and I got smiley on the pink one on day 16 which hasn't happened yet in this cycle. I also noticed that pos opk occurred on cd 16 when af came in 28 days and occurred on cd15 when AF came in 30-31 days. Does that mean anything? I hope I am not confusing everyone. And this cycle af came on the 28th day. Could this mean that my pos opk will be pushed by a day?
Can waiting to release for 4 days may compromise sperm quality for dh?

Sky every 4 days is fine for sperm quality. They 'say' it takes 36-48 hours for sperm to rebuild fully after release. In regards to cm its unreliable to track when o is going to happen. My best advice I can give you is to accept this cycle is 'off' and go back to testing with just fmu on the dual digis. By all means use the other ones at night but cut back on the dual ones. All this focus on opks and not getting a pos opk when you usually do etc is not beneficial and may even be causing the delay 😕. Hard as it is try and take a step back and say to yourself it will happen when it happens and I'm ok with that :)

I might join this thread, as I'm in the TWW and should probably be testing early April, but im a POAS addict, so will probably cave in March.
I need some reassurance though...from 1DPO - until now 4DPO I keep running a fever (maximum 38.8c, around 102F)....full body aches, cough. I've been taking paracetamol to keep it down and resting. Doctor gave me a prescription for antibiotics if my cough doesn't go. Anyone else have fevers in the TWW?
Good luck to all those waiting for O!

Hello beautiful people & welcome Iwant4kids! Exciting for you to be in the 2WW!! I'm almost there too. I don't know anything about the fevers, but I've had full body aches, headache & a stuffy nose the past 2 days & taking Motrin to help. ...And will only help our girl sways right?) Maybe it's all related to O? Lots of POAS addicts here, so you'll just have to stay & post pics when you start testing!!!!! :)
So my OPK is even darker this morning with FMU, I have significant O pains & a very noticeable temperature spike (I'm new to charting---My Ovulation Chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/69fc3a) ) Does this mean I already O'd or the eggie has been released? Got my attempts in the last 2 nights in a row after a few days break where DH kept it all bottled up waiting for me :) Do you all think these attempts are sufficient? If I already O'd, won't the OPK begin to lighten & not get darker?

Hello lovely ladies.
Welcome Iwant4kids. So excited for you to be in 2WW. I didn't run fever in 2WW so won't be able to be of any help. I am also a POAS addict. Good luck to you.
Hi Lollabelle, I am the one who knows the least here [emoji52] but I think your attempts are sufficient. My opk stays positive for two days in a row too. All the best. So exciting that you are also in 2WW.
Ash, I too am still getting the flashing smiley. Hope We get our solid smiley soon.
I wonder if Pbn got her blank circle again today.

Morning ladies!!! First flashing smiley today 😀😀 omg I cant believe my o has been successfully delayed!! I couldn't dare bring myself to hope to much and now its done!! Just imagine if I got a solid smiley Tuesday morning, the one day a week my youngest goes to daycare (eldest is in school) and my dh is actually off work 😀😀 Either way I'm going to get multiple attempts in and couldn't be happier. Plan to dtd tomorrow (monday) night and twice if possible on pos opk day plus the following night just in case. Kinda like smep. Eeeeeekk I'm so excited 😀😀
Hi and welcome 1 want4kids!! Hope you are feeling better soon! I'd try hold off on the antibiotics for now unless they are safe to take during pregnancy. Might be worthwhile checking with your doctor just in case. I think this means you'll be our first tester!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Can you post a link to or screenshot your chart?
Lola did you by any chance take your temp twice this morning as in to check that first tempwas right? That temp looks 'off' to me.... Not saying it is of course but I'd be waiting to see what happens temp wise over the next few days. Also have you checked the instructions on your opks regarding fmu. Most dip test strips say to test from mid morning as using fmu can give you a false positive. Can you test again now? I think you're covered attempts wise especially if you o today.
Ash a temp spike occurs after ovulation so yes when charting the spike will occur the morning after o :) I wonder if we are going to be cycle buddies 😀😀 I think you'll have a solid smiley by Tuesday and your wondfo will back it up!
Hi skyblue thanks for thinking of me and woohoo my opk is flashing smiley!!! Imagine if me, you and Ash all get a solid smiley the same morning!! That would be beyond awesome lol!!!

Temp spike happens post O, so looks like you got the timing right! Great positive :)
Hello beautiful people & welcome Iwant4kids! Exciting for you to be in the 2WW!! I'm almost there too. I don't know anything about the fevers, but I've had full body aches, headache & a stuffy nose the past 2 days & taking Motrin to help. ...And will only help our girl sways right?) Maybe it's all related to O? Lots of POAS addicts here, so you'll just have to stay & post pics when you start testing!!!!! :)
So my OPK is even darker this morning with FMU, I have significant O pains & a very noticeable temperature spike (I'm new to charting---My Ovulation Chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/69fc3a) ) Does this mean I already O'd or the eggie has been released? Got my attempts in the last 2 nights in a row after a few days break where DH kept it all bottled up waiting for me :) Do you all think these attempts are sufficient? If I already O'd, won't the OPK begin to lighten & not get darker?

I totally know what you mean Ash-love/hate relationship with the cramps.
We are all almost in the 2WW with Iwant4kids up first for testing right??!
I'm not experienced with taking temps and charting. I did take my temp twice in a row this AM & it was the same. I leave it on my bedside table & take it as soon as I wake up before getting out of bed.
Here are tests all from today: FMU, 2PM & 7PM. I was researching today & realized that FMU wasn't the best option. These all look darker than before. I'm so worried that I called it positive too soon & the attempts weren't close enough to O! The temp spike is puzzling...I do have a little cold...could it have been a fever??

Wow lola I would say you're going to o anytime now. You weren't wrong calling your first pos a pos. Ovulation generally takes place 12-48 hours after the 'first' pos opk. You've definately hit the peak surge 😀 as for the temp yes it could be a fever. I'd leave it for now and see what tomorrows and next day does. You can always discard it if need be :) eeeeeeeeeeekkkkk you're going to be in the 2ww anytime now!!!

Hi Ashfind, sorry for a late response. I read a lot of reviews about the advanced Clearblue opk and one was really helpful. It said to start testing as advised in the instructions. So based on my cycle, I started testing on cd 10. But the reader stopped working the next morning so I opened the other box. Thankfully I ordered 3 from eBay. And I was using that throughout. It showed two full days of flashing and solid the 3rd afternoon.
Fmu didn't work for me on both pink and purple digital opk in this cycle. It was the second time after waiting for a couple of hours to pee.
My O got delayed this cycle according to me but Atomic and Throwaway_panther told me that it's not really late until cd 22.
Also, I would like to tell you that even after the solid smiley my cheap eBay stick was showing super light lines.
My guess is that the not digital ones get darker on actual ovulation. Just a thought.
Hang in there and don't stress. I was advised that waiting for O can actually delay O. [emoji52]
I would suggest you buy one more of digital ones for now.fx fx fx to you.

Ash agree with everyone that your last test is super close! I would save your last digi test stick for tomorrow morning fmu and have an attempt asap if it's solid (which I honestly think it will be). I personally wouldn't buy another box of digis being this close. Go nuts on your wondfos for the rest of today to satisfy the itch if need be :) what time is it where you are?

AFM - I'll be testing CD8, so that's in 2 more days. I have my Day 21 blood test today to check I actually did ovulate. Not feeling so positive though...all my aches and twinges could be from the coughing and all the muscles I'm using. Anyway, time will tell. xo

My boys are so darn adorable ❤ 💙 that if another little man is set to complete my family then I will love him all the more for it :) I am still hoping that the pink things I have will at least give me a 50/50 chance of a girl though. I eat mostly vegetarian, have low ovarian reserve, took clomid and have had multiple miscarriages so all that is considered to be pink as far as I know (not sure on the low ovarian reserve being pink but figure anything that makes it harder to get pregnant leans pink so guess it would lol)
If you want to just bd again tonight but you could nearly leave it go. I wonder sometimes if going overboard can backfire?? Have you asked Atomic or any other blue swayers what they think?. You're not temping are you?

Skyblue no I'm not swaying. I just really really want to catch this egg!!! And yes my attempts will be very boy friendly but I don't care anymore lol. My boys are so darn adorable [emoji173] [emoji170] that if another little man is set to complete my family then I will love him all the more for it :) I am still hoping that the pink things I have will at least give me a 50/50 chance of a girl though. I eat mostly vegetarian, have low ovarian reserve, took clomid and have had multiple miscarriages so all that is considered to be pink as far as I know (not sure on the low ovarian reserve being pink but figure anything that makes it harder to get pregnant leans pink so guess it would lol)
If you want to just bd again tonight but you could nearly leave it go. I wonder sometimes if going overboard can backfire?? Have you asked Atomic or any other blue swayers what they think?. You're not temping are you?

Very well said. I understand now. I have a feeling that you will catch the egg this time. Fxfxfxfx
So should I do an attempt tonight or not? I got confused now. [emoji52] Everyone said 3 attempts after solid smiley and then every other day incase O is delayed. Or are you saying that I should stop after tonight?
I am definitely overstaying my welcome by asking so many questions. [emoji851][emoji851]

Ask away anytime!!! Don't feel you ask too much as this whole swaying business can be so overwhelming information wise and it always feels better to have that sense of confidence that you're doing the right thing. So if everyone says 3 attempts then eod I would stick to that. So bd again in two mornings (or evening) time and so on for the next week maybe? So if its Monday where you are now and you dtd this morning I'd dtd again Wednesday, Friday and Sunday then have a well earned rest.

Ash I bet yours woul be solid tonight but I only tested again because it was still morning for me and I had those other signs (cm, cp&t). If it had been afternoon or evening I wouldn't have. I just don't want you to jump the gun with one attempt.... Is a morning bd possible? By all means bd tonight if that's what you want to do as an attempt tonight will still have an excellent chance if you o in the next 48 hours :)

Ash have you always fallen pregnant easily/quickly? If so then honestly an attempt tonight should end up being a 2-o attempt which some claim to be better than even 1-o. I've personally only gotten pregnant on 1-o attempts but my fertility is also poor....

Ash I want to hold out until 10dpo then test with both my remaining digi and frer.... when are you testing?
Hi shannshaff!! Thank you so much! How are you going? Are you coping ok with the waiting?

Pbn3 - the wait is killing me actually. I just have this feeling that something is not right. :( And I really hate that my Dr just assumed we "caught it early" and that all is perfectly fine. I really need to find a new DR! This one I am not happy with. She delivered DS3 because my reg Dr was on a weekend get away. And DH and I were not a fan of her. So sad my reg Dr is gone. :( I hate change. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just don't know how to feel. I am super sick with ms and a cold. The sore throat is making the ms worse. Hoping it gets better real soon.
I am just praying so hard for you and for your Golden Egg!!!! I will be stalking to the next 2 weeks!!!

Thank you shannshaff ❤ I think of you often and wonder how you are. Terribly lonely wait when no one IRL knows what's going on :( be sure to pop in anytime you need to vent or just talk. Having ms sounds promising although I feel for you having a cold on top of it :( I just want your scan at 8w to be here already!!!

Shannshaff: How much longer do you need to wait? Are you in a small town and can't see a different DR?
Ash: What an awesome line and smile face!!!
Me: still coughing, 6dpo! Had my day 21 progesterone test today and should get results in 48 hours. Will POAS in 2 days! Worried I don't have enough signs....I kept a diary with my first and I had lots more signs by this stage then....:/

Shannshaf,
I'm so sorry you are going thru this :( i've been where you are with the "gut feeling something is not right" too many times. Usually I think I am overreacting and try to think positive....however usually Gut wins. So far for me....
GUT 4: HOPE 0 :worry:
I really hope you can get a progesterone test soon so you can at least get a clue how things are progressing instead of waiting for your next u/s.

I want4kids I stopped putting any stock in symptoms prior to 12dpo after experiencing what seemed like heaps one pregnancy but none at all on another. My usual first sign is a bleh feeling that starts around this time. Don't lose heart! Every pregnancy is different!
Sounds like you have a persistent cough there. I spent a couple hours in bed this afternoon and even slept a small while 😮 got up to make dinner and sent dh to bed for a couple hours while I bathed and get the boys ready for bed. He finished three night shifts this morning so is understandably knackered. Hoping the couple hours sleep help him recover for our bd later lol. It's the absolute last thing I feel like doing but I'm still excited 😂 have a drippy yet blocked nose, no sense of smell, almost lost sense of taste, my sneezing nearly knocks me over and my cough sounds like a large barking dog 😂 this is not going to be pretty but we will get the job done!!! Feeling some decent o pains too so think I'll definitely o sometime tomorrow. Just cant wait to get tonight's and tomorrow mornings bd's done and dusted 😂

Thanks for the reassurance! I think the first time around you might have more because it's such a big change...might be wrong.
Oh dear, some attractive BDing coming up LOL! Truthfully, on our second attempt I wasn't great either, but kept a happy face LOL

Thinking of you Shann!!
Yay, Ash!!!
I'm sorry you ladies aren't feeling well. :( I hope you get better soon!!
I'm about to go get my blood work done. They typically call with the results around 4pm but I'll be at work. So, I'll update around 8pm my time which is in about 14 hours. I'm feeling pretty bloated and am worried that I'll start to ovulate too early. I'm slightly concerned about possibly having too many follicles. I hope I have 3 and that's why I'm so bloated. FX!!!
