So today's the day, first shot at ttc a girl

[Daisycarty]

Morning ladies,

After sound advice from Atomic (thank you) I'd lost all sense of logic and she has sent me on the right path.

This morning i got my +OPK I knew it would be I've been tracking my cycle for a year or so and I seem to be like clockwork. So we are going to dtd today just ONCE after hubby has had his long hot bath, he isn't now abstaining due to age, but we haven't dtd for 5 days, so I'm hoping we have done all we can in the build up to today.

I was going to have us both take some benedryl as I thought it cant hurt

Wish me luck and lots of pink baby dust!

Good luck ! Are u doing the deed the day u got your solid smiley face ? Just curious bc my fertile week is coming up and im so unsure when i should do my one attempt. Last month i did it way to early. Im abstaining for about a week. Yesterday was my last dtd till my attempt ! Baby dust to you !!!

[Daisycarty]

Hey lovely, thank you!

I dtd just once, when I got my first +opk, i used strips. So I would do it when you get your solid smiley as per advice on here. Wishing you tonnes of luck Hun xx

:agree: I would do attempt at first solid smiley if you don't care about timing, and second "high" or flashy smiley if you do.

Congratulations and good luck! What brand of tester are you using to track OV? What is the difference between a flashing and a solid smiley? Is flashing for estrogen and solid for LH?

[atomic sagebrush]

Flashing is for rising estrogen "high fertility" and solid is LH surge, "peak fertility" and the egg will be released in about 24-36 hours.
