The temp is fine and it may just have had a jump as your body is gearing up to o :) kinda matches your opks, plods along then bam! Blaring pos!
In regards to your attempts well this is tricky 😕 atm you have an eod pattern in fertile window which is said to sway blue. But if you add more attempts then will that make it even stronger blue as you'll then have multiple attempts at pos opk?? I *think* you said in the past that you bded heaps (daily) when you conceived your boys? If that's the case all I would suggest is doing the opposite and not having anymore attempts and have the le diet is your strongest tactic. I'm sorry I cant be of more help Ash :( this really is a flip a coin kinda scenario.

Thanks pbn it's ok I'm always complicated!! This is my BD pattern from the only other one I've tracked in 2008. I will honestly be happy with a bfp no matter what and I feel like I haven't had near enough attempts lol it's so hard to hold back! But I do know I have ALWAYS had a he diet and I've completely changed my eating and I know I ALWAYS had the big O so I'm hoping these two things can help a bunch. [emoji18] we will see. No to hold back from another attempt. Maybe if I wait till tomorrow am I can tell myself it's to late for it to matter lol

All the best lola and ash for O sync!!! 🤣
How are you travelling Iwant4?
Is any one actually due to test soon?
Gender selection review was finalised in Australia this week and not approved. I made the mistake of heading to the comments section 😐
DH 'made it clear last night he is done'. In saying that though hes no where closer to book in for a vasectomy and im certainly not researching for him.
We're at the point whatever decision comes next one of us loses. I just hope whatever decision that is doesn't break us.
My body must be gearing up to O. Strange tender bbs, ewcm back on track. Im cd 17 i think somewhere cd19-21 i will ovulate. I certainly think i have some pcos going on. Im carrying alot of extra weight due to the stress after ds5 and attempts at trying to manage and deal with my feelings. Plus working 4 nights is taking its toll as i feel like im always eating but there not much i can do about that part atm.
Fx for you all

Netti big hugs xxoo I was at that exact point with dh late last year. Anytime I would mention anything to do about ttc he'd get this annoying sooky la la face then say nothings wrong when there clearly was. I sat him down after the upteemth time and described exactly how I was feeling and what this meant to me, I used your exact words that no matter what is decided, one of us would lose and that was when we agreed to try 3 more cycles. He said he didn't want me to resent him and this way we finally came to a compromise. He kept up his end of the bargain and now I'm keeping up mine. In saying that I was ready to stop, I can live with not ttc anymore and in fact I've been so happy since I officially 'stopped'. He too hasn't mentioned anything about permanent protection. We also haven't bded since last cycles attempts so maybe abstinence is his birth control plan 😂😂😂
Are you coming up to any kind of annual leave? Sounds like you need a break, some 'me' time. Have you got anyone close (grandparents) that can stay a night or two so you can go somewhere for a short break?
Big hugs, wish we were friends irl so I could take you out for a coffee or better yet wine 😉

So sorry netti maybe a whoops will happen because my dh was DONE and he wanted to get a vasectomy and I wouldn't let him but he refused to ttc and when we were both in a happy place ds3 came alone very unexpected! Were you trying to sway for any of your other sons? You have 5? If so your super woman!! 4 keeps me so busy it's like a mad house. But I could be well on my way for ds5

Netti-Hugs! Hope DH changes his mind! I'm sorry for what you're going through. I like pbn's suggestion for "me" time. Maybe you need a little retail therapy! Lol Always works for me [emoji854]
Pbn-it's almost 9PM here & haven't had another attempt yet, but it's not out of the question. I feel these strong O pains so I know something is going on in there & so afraid I'm going to miss the egg again. It's great to hear that you're happy!! I tell ya-ttc is so stressful & exhausting!!

Pbn-I like your way of putting it. If I don't get a BFP, then I will think-ugh should've had another attempt. If I don't get another girl I'll think shouldn't have done another attempt....it's a catch22 lol.

Has he been feeling sick long ash? Was he sick for yesterdays attempt? They say being ill at time of conception can sway pink, not sure if that means dh as well though. So if you got your pos opk today then you should a temp rise morning after next... such an exciting time!!!

Thanks ladies.
Me and DH did go out kid free a few weeks ago so that was nice. Im thinking of making a hair appmnt in a few weeks. Unfortunately we don't have alot of people around to help us out and me and dh prefer to do things ourselves though i must admit it is hard at times but im mostly organised. Its when my mental and emotional health get the better of me which is mainly due to wanting more children and specifically a dd.
Yes i have 5 funny amazing boys. They are all really good cheeky and noisy too. No annual leave as yet but im hoping all the work issues slow down soon. My next leave is for ds5 first birthday in July.
I semi attempted a sway for ds5 yet i struggled with the diet and exercise side of things. I think knowing alot more now would help if there was a next time. I struggled so much with the concept of the diet and cardio rather than in the frame of mind of just doing the best i can.
I don't like to get too heavy with the babies talk with DH but i will mention things frequently. Im thinking of starting the le pcos diet and just adding what i can manage in a sway.
Ds5 first birthday is in July and im hoping DH will be feeling abit nostalgic that there are no more babies in the house. That would give 10 weeks on le diet and trying my best 😂 and i can only hope

Mummy you will be first to test! Welcome... we love poas here and love it when other poas haha.
Pbn yes he was sick during the last two attempts but I think he just got super sick last night so I doubt I'll get another morning attempt in but I had another slight temp rise so I doubt it'll matter anyway. And like Lola said we would be lost without you I was seriously watching the clock waiting for you to wake yesterday haha.
Netti that sounds like a good plan. If he's anything like my hubby just get him in a good mood and get on top lol and he can't resist letting it fly [emoji13] might be how we've had a couple whoopsies!!
AFM no attempts last night and I don't know if any this am hubby is sick but even when he had pneumonia he wanted to BD so I don't think it'll be hard to get him to if I want. Slight temp rise this am.

Ash-yay for a slight temp rise! I had a slight temp rise too! FF hasn't detected O yet, but thinking this rise meant I O'd. Not in the 98's yet like last time. I think we're still O-sync though 🤣 Sorry DH is sick, but may work in your favor for a DD! Fx!!!!!

Lol-not even being sick holds him back huh?! Def a machine haha! So glad that you used lube and J&D too!! Sure hope we're on our way to DD!! I figured if we're going to BD again, then might as well try to decrease the swimmers! I never really put a lot of stock into the moon phases, but still love that the new moon will align perfectly with our next BD. I'll take every little possible girl vibe [emoji6]

Thanks for the welcome everyone [emoji4]I've loved reading all about your attempts etc. I've been on the le diet for about a year but hubby was very hard to get on side! He's quite happy with what we've got already. He's still not completely on board but coming round to the idea. This month is the first really trying and the first time I've taken temps. It's been tricky as my 3yr old is a terrible sleeper and I don't often get three hours uninterrupted [emoji23]I will try and post my chart in a bit. I'll probably test early, complete poas addict [emoji23]Hopefully there will be lots of bfps coming up for everyone soon!

Ash you're gonna have to post a chart pic every couple days so I can stalk 👀 you know this right? 😂 have your o pains subsided? Do you think you've oed or are today?
Should be O day today Lola!! Have you felt any o pains?
Afm dh finally broke the bd drought 😂I couldn't help myselfand had to see what cd I was on and it was cd12. Too early unless I o today or early tomorrow but I've not had my usual cm lead up to o so I think maybe by delaying it last cycle it may be delayed again. Feeling like something is going on in the ovary area though 😕

So pbn have you and DH just not talked about it? Do you think he's still ok with a slip up if it happens? Did he release inside? Haha I know I know to many questions!
I have not noticed any cramping at all today but notice some the day before yesterday and some stronger ones yesterday so I fell like maybe I already have. How can I have my chart in link that you can see it. Can you not click on the link in signature or does it just take you to the sample chart still?
Has been a super busy weekend for me yard sale Friday and Saturday l, birthday party today with a dinner for the whole family! I am exhausted and enjoying a nice bath ATM. But it's been nice to be busy all weekend and not have my mind wondering. Confession time!! My friend owns a boutique and she had an $80 baby girl outfit for $20 and I could not pass it up it was ADORABLE so I bought it! And I make quilts for a hobby/extra cash side job and I ran past the fittest little girly fabric and of course I bought it. But I can kind of justify it because if I don't have a girl I can sell the blanket lol. But I'm getting excited a bit to see what comes of this all. Trying to not get my hopes up since I already have four boys.

Hey Ash. Thankyou for thinking about me. We had a very busy Saturday planned so couldn't write but I was peaking every chance I got. Sorry your dh isn't feeling good but yay for the BD and Fx for bfp. I see that u guys didn't BD regularly so I am even more excited for your 2WW.
Afm, I got my stable smiley on Friday morning and we BD that night but couldn't do in the morning so did last night. I m temping vaginally and this is my first month. I haven't bn able to take temp same time everyday though I take it first thing in the morning before moving much. I was expecting it to rise today but it didn't. I tried taking twice but it was more or less the same. Hoping for the best. Fx
Lolla - That's a nice technique of using lube and J&d. Good luck to u both. Fx u get your bfp and your girls.

He knows how babies are made so he cant play dumb if an oops does happen 😉.. I think he gets how unlikely it is and is willing to take the tiny risk for now.😂

Morning!
Maxim-mine seemed a little higher, but it may be unique to the person?? What time did you take it? I know you're an early riser. Mine always seem lower if it's extra early. Since it's your 1st vag temp-interested to compare the next couple of days. Fx you O earlier than usual. Hope your vaca worked some magic [emoji4]Safe travels!!

Thanks, lola - I took it at the same time I usually do! I thought it was supposed to be higher also, which is why I thought it was strange. I will take my first opk tonight when I'm home and see what's going on...I honestly cannot believe that I haven't temped or taken one opk yet this cycle. Maybe that will help me in relaxing/girl sway this month? I must say though that my diet has been AWFUL, like literally awful lol! More like I'm on the HE diet this week with vacation mode. I also haven't been exercising and do feel like a gained a few pounds, which is a lot on my body frame (5'5" and 110 pounds). I'll see what tomorrow brings with temps and the opk.
How is everyone? I have a lot to catch up on!!

5'5 and 110 would be a dream for me max! I've got the height down lol but not near the weight [emoji23] I've gained a couple pounds over the weekend and am feeling awful about it also but I've never really shed it all from my vacation. So are you one of the girl swayers that get in a full hour of cardio? How about you Lola? I struggle with this part just because I'm a wahm and have a ton of stuff to do and can only exercise during nap time because I'm to exhausted at the end of the day.

Maxim-I'm interested to see what your temp does. Maybe it's a dip before O...not sure really!
Ash-I used to do cardio all the time, but working full time & 2 wild boys has made it difficult! I don't set aside time for cardio like I should, but I stay pretty active in general. I know how you feel, after all of the other life responsibilities & feeling exhausted...it's not easy to fit in cardio!!!

Ash, no not at all...I do an early morning weight workout 2-3 days a week and I think that has helped me stay slim. I also incredibly lucky to have genetics on my side - my mom is 67 and has one of the cutest little bodies I've ever seen! :) I was actually surprised to hear that weights sway blue - I did much more around the time I conceived both DD's. I think I was doing a one hour weight class about 5 days a week during that point...

Good morning ladies! I'm about to leave for a flight back home after a long vacation and will catch up when home, but quick question. Took first temp today at CD12 (boy am I late in the game or what!!!) and it was also my first vaginal temp. It's a lot lower than oral temps. Is that normal?

In news of my own I was doing a pee this morning and suddenly decided to check cm and cervix as I haven't had my usual watery and ewcm by now. Low and behold cm is turning its usual post o and cervix is super high and firm. Without temping to confirm my best guess is I oed sometime yesterday/last night giving me a 1-o completely unintentional attempt. I had some o pain but not what I'm used to, I figured my body was gearing up to o later this week. This would mean I oed cd13 😮😮 when I was expecting to o around cd15/16 because I delayed o last cycle. So I'm in a state of shock but it's hard to get excited about one attempt. Also we hadn't bded since last cycles attempts and if dh hasn't been helping himself then I'd hate to think what the sperm quality was 😣. So while I guess I'm technically in the 2ww I don't feel like I am if that makes sense 😂😂

Maxim looks like we would ovulate around the same time my latest opk is attached.
Not trying this cycle though. I have spoken to DH abit more. He referred back to what we did for ds5 and i told him that was half arsed and i didn't follow mine properly. I tried to explain to him i need to be on the diet for a while before attempt 😂 so im being positive and aiming for July. His thoughts are that im already expecting to be pregnant again. Im like look just let me do this and we review in July 🤣
Can you ladies update me with a brief for diet and the intake suggestions/limits. I have been skipping breakfast most days and started when i was in late pregnancy with ds5. You wouldn't believe how hard I found it with the previous sway to skip breakfast and now i barely eat it. Im aiming at least 3 cardio sessions a week. That feels like something i can manage but i also want to get an exercise bike for home. Ive already made some small changes to my diet over the weekend, reducing snacking etc and thinking about what i eat at work and when im finishing night shift. I think im having chocolate withdrawals though.
I have caramel lattes and the premixed powder one aswell. Does that still count as coffee intake? I used to drink tea alot before but now hardly ever.
Looks like im set to ovulate cd22. That really shows what my weight gain has done to my body 😝😝 definitely time for change.
This is tonight's test. Im expecting a positive tmro with a Thursday O day.
And the O cramping and af type cramps are ridiculous. Ive been checking for af its that bad 🤣

AFM - I have my appointment at 9:45am tomorrow. Sooooo nervous. It's going to be so unfair if things aren't looking good. I have so many positive signs, feel unwell, sore boobs etc., which makes me forget about the possibilies and I just feel pregnant as normal. I feel like so anxious....but there's nothing I can do.

Lola I definitely think you're only 2dpo, don't be surprised if ff shifts your o date as you enter more temps :)
Netti glad to hear that ttc is at least a possibility albeit future one. Honestly I'd just ease my way into the le diet and limitations if I were you. Start at the upper limits and every week or two drop down that little bit. Do you have the myp app to track with? Its soooo helpful!!! Also regarding exercise, from memory anything other than the 5-6 days for the 60 min sways blue although I'm sure purple once said moderate exercise sways pink if you have pcos tendencies which I believe you thought you had? Best recommendation I can give is get it straight from the horses mouth and start a thread for atomic to respond to. Be completely honest in what you think you can and cant do and take the time to outline everything going on with you diet/lifestyle wise. Wishing you all the best xxoo

Netti instead of making it difficult I have a few rules for myself. Try to eat very little meat and if I do eat some make it white (turkey,chicken) I have the lose it app and stick with 30% fat 40-60g protein and the rest carbs. Coffee for breakfast and another mid day. Coke Zero or crystal lite the rest of the time.

Hi ladies! I am incredibly busy trying to catch up after being out this past week. It's crazy how much is going on and that you guys are in the TWW together! So fun, hope to join you guys soon!!!
Took another opk this morning, it's not positive but again better than my typical CD13 so I'll take it! I hope to O before next week...
Quick question, can you guys see my chart? My oral temp was 97.22 this am, but vaginal temp was 97.58 (which is more in the range that I'm used to). Is it normal that have that much variation between oral and vaginal? I'm only going to input my vaginal temps on FF, but I'm still making a note of my oral just in case. And yes, I clean it very well and do oral first ;)

Max seriously laughing when I read "clean it very well"! I think the variation is normal which is why vaginal is more accurate. If you think about it you know you open your mouth to cough or yawn or anything that could alter your temp. FX you get into the 2ww soon!!
Iwant4kids I completely missed your bump pic the am we must have posted close together! HOW ADORABLE!! I have fluff so won't be seeing mine until a bit further on [emoji6].
Lola I really really think I did O on the day ff is saying just because I had some noticeable cramping that I usually never notice I don't even get af cramping! So maybe just maybe I released a big one or possibly two (I dream right) I have been taking 3 folic a day religiously!

Ash-Oooh, we're the crazies who would love twins!! I used to notice preggo mommas everywhere, now I seem to see twins everywhere lol!!! Wouldn't that be awesome if your bad cramps meant releasing 2 eggs?!! Didn't think about that!! Sounds like you may have been a day ahead of me. I had significant cramps on Sat & Sun, with Sunday being the worst. I'm still going to use whatever ff says.
Skyblue-can't remember if I asked, but what timezone are you in? I was thinking you're in the US right? I bet you'll get your crosshairs after one more temp in the higher range! You could even try putting a temp in for tomorrow to see if it will give you crosshairs...

Hello ladies! Thanks for asking about me. I had to read the pages and pages to get caught up. I don't get online much since I am so so sick all of the time. :(
Looking forward to seeing all of you POAS soon!!!
I had my fist midwife appointment yesterday (2 hours late because a ladies decided to have a baby at that time. ;) ) and we got to see the little one again! He/she is doing great, measuring right on and had a HB of 165. So I don't have another appointment until my genetics counseling on the 8th. I will be 13w. Hope it goes well.

Ash with the pineapple thing to help implantation I don't know if there's anything to it or not but I used to do it some cycles (prior to being put on baby aspirin) as it cant hurt anything and you get a daily serve of fruit lol. It's the core that is the important part as it contains bromelain *think that's how its spelt* which acts as a natural blood thinner and is said to aid implantation. Pick a 5 day period between o and average implantation, so 2dpo-6dpo, 3-7, 4-8, 5-9 and eat one cup of pineapple (including core) a day for those days :) I'll come back later on and catch up properly!

Question-so I decided to POAS (OPK) wondfo and was glad to see it is lighter, so along with pains & temp rise, I'm sure O has already occured. I was going to continue to BD e3 or 4d just in case, but that egg will probably be long gone by now right? Or could it still be hanging around if I O'ed a little later than I thought? Do you think we should still BD today or tomorrow just to be on the safe side??

He said there's a tiny bit of hope, but it just makes sense with my story (bleeding, low numbers to start). That's why he said to wait a week. There are lots of miracle stories online....just hate the waiting. He suggested appointment wed, fri surgery, but I'm going away on the Thursday for 3 nights for work. So it will mean waiting until the following week...

Wow interesting article pbn. Definitely alot to think about.
I thought i would see a positive opk today but i think maybe tmro. This would be one of my longest cycles.
Ladies i just wanted to ask.
If you had a choice of an attempt this cycle (which would be this week id assume) or waiting until July what would you decide.
Part of me just wants to corner dh and be done with it 🤣 and the other says wait until July 😑

Netti were you going to try amd do the le diet for a few months? Is that why July?
If you don't feel you can wait then at least try just one attempt and maybe even j&d the first time? After 5 boys I would personally probably hold off and do as best as sway as I could. Maybe don't monitor things but avoid meat, fatty foods like cheese and pastries, drink only skim milk etc stick to one attempt at pos opk. See how that goes for a couple cycles maybe?

Its just the impatient in me. I know once its done DH can't go back and forth 😄
I know it would be better for me to try as many things that im able to, to work in my favour.

There's also Uncle Bens mexcian fried rice. These are sold at woolies. I don't like salads at all 😂 although I would eat the vege sub minus cheese but with sweet onion sauce from subway.

Pbn3 - that was a great article, thank you! If it was my first, I may be more hopeful. But as it's my third and my other two babies were seen at 5+ weeks with my tilted uterus, I'm less hopeful.
I can only get in for surgery on 11th May after my work conference and other work commitments. My appointment is next wed 3rd, so I'm going to pencil in D&C on that day, but only after a scan at a separate scanning place (not just in his office). I think then I will comfortable and I will also be 8 weeks. I'll also get another couple of HCG tests foe reassurance

Netti lunch is easiest for me since i don't have to cook for everyone just myself and the two littles.

Iwant4kids that sounds like a good plan I would also want to do everything I could for reassurance before moving forward with d&c

Netti, I do a lot of vegetarian meals like lentil soup, salads, sandwich with hummus or avocado, stir fry, etc. It's hard for me also to find new things to eat as I also easily get bored. Let me know if you come across something yummy.
AFM, I'm having some cramping on my right side yesterday and today. I'm hoping O is coming earlier for me this cycle - I'm CD14 today and have never O'd earlier than CD17, so maybe it's around the corner. I'll post pics of my OPK's from phone.

Ash - I have no idea, I have never used FRER earlier. I am too cheap. :) But I prolly would have had a light line at 9dpo.
Lola - I am 11w2d today. I will be getting a scan at 13w (I believe). That is my genetics counseling appointment. I hope to have a good nub shot. I have pics of my 11w scan if you want to see, but it is too early for nub guessing.

Sky-not sure what to think of your chart lol. Pbn will know!! When do you typically O? CD15 is very common, so it could be right? Or maybe one of the temps threw it off?? Did you test earlier than usual? You could always try the adjusted time calculator if so. When you put a sample temp in yesterday to look at your chart, it had you Oing at 17dpo right?

Sky- change your CM finding from watery to creamy and FF will reassign your crosshairs. FF cues off of CM findings a lot in lieu of any other signs.
This is a common issue with FF.

If that doesn't work, then uncheck sleep deprived finding, if you selected it, because the open circle on O day may be throwing FF off. If you didn't select that finding on O day, then fudge your time you took your temp to be within 30 min of your usual temp time. Open circles can also cause FF to not assign crosshairs on the right O day.

Sky don't stress, ff will move your crosshairs again as more temps are entered. If you like you can try discarding the temp on the 22nd as Lola says and that may make it shift but otherwise if your temp is spikes again tomorrow morning then it'll change.
Lola I'm surprised ff hasn't shifted your crosshairs. Maybe after a few more temps....
Glad to hear your feeling terribly sick shann 😉 but I really hope it passes quickly for you xx
Maxim I'm so excited for you!!! Loving that your doing e4d as agree with Ash that I'm sure you didn't get a blaring pos opk last cycle? Hopefully you will this cycle but it must be such a relief knowing you'll have an attempt in regardless :)

Wows so much to catch up on 🤣
Im not very good with chart interpretation and i only took temps when ttc ds5.
I think I may start temping again as a back up to opks, it didn't seem positive this cycle. Ill just use first temp after waking up on my longest sleep post night shift.
Ash im the same. I haven't got anything recently though 😂
These are opks from the beginning of the week. The second pic is the one i think is my closest positive. I think ive missed the surge somewhere as i was working in the beginning of the week ill have to keep better track. We don't need to hold for opks do we?
Our coldest morning here so far and it's only the beginning 😨 Makes it hard not to eat 🤣 coffee it is

Netti yes it's a good idea to do a hold and limit fluids for opks as diluted urine can affect the result. That's probably what I liked the most about the cb dual hormone ones, you use fmu 😀
That's a good idea to start temping, can I suggest doing it vaginally? And after your longest sleep is a good idea. It may be abit up and down but should still show before and after o temps :) That opk in bottom pic does look close to pos. I would've guessed a pos the following day or two after this one was done.

Pbn-I played around with ff and made my Sun temp the same as Sat & it shifted a day. It really makes more sense to me, since peak was on Sat. I'm going to go by this chart now and if the other way was actually correct, well maybe it will keep me from testing a day early lol.

Hi and welcome Sumbal! I'm not sure what exactly you are asking? Looking at your chart it looks ad though cd11 is o day giving you two attempts :) If your temps stay elevated then you should get crosshairs in a couple mornings time. Fx and blue dust! When will you be testing? Most of the ladies are in the US so its their night when its our day. There's a couple hours in the morning and evening that we overlap and then the thread gets busy 😀

Whoops I just looked again and its cd10 that looks like o day not 11, That gives you just the the one a.m. attempt. Ideally you have multiple attempts at pos opk. Was a bd on cd9 not possible or are you aiming for one attempt on o day as your sway? (this is not the recommendation on this site) Have you been doing the HE diet at all?

I was trying for three attempts but due to busy DH schedule, I could not be able to do so. DH was also in a stress due to some personal business issues. I lost CD-9 attempt :rolleyes:
I am on HE diet and gained weight also. There was lots of CM on both attempts due to diet factor.

Quick question - when testing with the clear blue digi (I'm using the pink one), do you buy a new holder every cycle, or can you use the same one from last cycle? I have one left over from last cycle that I tested with and have about 7 tests left. Do I need to buy a new package and use that holder, or am I okay to keep using the one I have and buy new sticks when needed?

Sumbal I read your sway post. What cd are you starting opk on? And in my opinion the clear blue advance would be best for boy sway since you want to get more than one attempt at pos opk and your not yet sure your O date is regular. Once you get the flashing smiley I'd start the BD. Eat everything in site seriously! Lots of oatmeal, eggs, and protein in general. Nuts. I never drank soda or coffee or alcohol only water. I always took a women's multi vitamin. Always exercised in moderation. Oh and I seen you were trying to stay away from dairy. Ive always been a milk drinker and cheese eater and see where it's gotten me lol Hmmm.... if I think of anything else to help I'll let you know!
