DTD ADVICE NEEDED!

[afya1]

Hey Atomic, I needed some help with BD-ing

We are carrying out our attempts. I am on CD 11
I’m using both Clearblue opk and the Wondfo strips. On the CB I got a flashy smiley today but the strips have shown a fainter line.

I could get a peak either on Thursday CD 13 or Friday CD14. Now I’m confused should DH and I go ahead with an attempt tonight. Yesterday we DTD. Today I could either be O-3 or O-2.. I want to save the multiple attempts for closer to O day, or is it ok to do it every day at this point?

every other day if you're thinking you're more likely O-3. If O-2 hit it!

[afya1]

Perfect! Thank you atomic.

I wanted to ask if for some reason I get a peak on the CB advanced opk and the Wondfo strips aren’t as dark as it’s suppose to be and aren’t howing a positive opk Would I still go in for my multiple BDs? It’s hard to say whether or not it’s a false positive and which opk is more reliable.

So far my Wondfo strips are extremely light, but CB opk is showing me a high smiley face.

I don’t think you’re there yet - as I’ve said this month I had ten days of high before I had my peak. Wondfo strips were negative and light the whole time. When it finally happened, a week later than expected, it was really obvious - the strips looked totally different

[afya1]

I’ve never had that. But my only concern is if the CB is to hit a peak and the strips aren’t dark as they are suppose to be. I’m not sure if I should take the CB as an actual positive or a false positive..

Atomic could you please give your feedback!

Nor had I.

Personally, I would trust the wondfo over the clear blue fixed smiley, as you can see the progression, but I think it’s very unlikely you’ll get a fixed smiley while the wondfo are still very light.

[afya1]

Thank you for your help!! I’m hoping too, last cycle the CB and Wondfo were both positive on the same day. Hoping it’s same this cycle too.

What about yourself? Have you finished with all your attempts? Or yet to attempt?

Yes, all attempts done for this month! I'm 4dpo today. Hope your tests turn positive very soon! I know how hard the waiting is, mine finally turned when I effectively gave up for this month and relaxed about it all!

Go from the FIRST positive OPK of any brand, but the Clearblues can show many days of high. I would stick with every other day till true peak

[afya1]

Ok got it! So for example if WOndfo strips are darker and show a positive I would go in for my attempts and still carry on every other day till CB shows a peak?

If any of them are positive, go for the 3 attempts. If you're just getting high on Clearblues but nothing on Wondfo, stick with every other day.

This is the strip with the FMU the darkness still seems the same as last night
Im on CD 14

I’ve got lots of EWCM and I’ve just got a PEAK on my CB.
We hit it soon after I saw my Peak. So we would do it tomorrow and the day after that? And every other day from then?

My apologies for bombarding you all, I have such a hard time reading the test strips.

So I finally got this dark line it’s as dark as the control line.
Just hope everything goes well.

So far we’ve done O-1, O day and hopefully tomorrow, and then the following day again?

Hi Afya, not sure if this helps but your progression pattern on the OPKs is similar to what I normally get. I've had it go from almost positive to positive (same as control line) in the same day so I usually test multiple times a day. I then get a really positive (darker that control line) within a day after that and usually it lasts about 24 hours. Sending you lots of blue dust!

[atomic sagebrush]

I would try for 2x today if at all possible and then tomorrow, then go to every other day.

[afya1]

If it’s not possible, then could I try to have 2 attempts tomorrow? Or just stick to one?

Just have as many attempts as you can now that the fertile window is open.

[afya1]

Hey Atomic,

We are pretty much done with all of our attempts in the micro window. I’m a Little bummed as I was hoping to get more attempts in.
We managed every 2-4 days after AF then O-3, O-1, morning of +opk and the next day again. Hubby came down with a little body ache and we couldnt do twice in a day on the same day of +opk or the next day feeling a little unsure about our attempts. We missed a day today and will try dtd tomorrow hopefully.

I think you guys did great! Try not to be too disappointed by your attempts, we set the bar high so we make sure you get in a good number of attempts but you are still swaying blue even if you can't get quite as many attempts in. :)
