    This is the cycle that started 4-28-19, I can post the other 4 as well, if that would help.
    So when did the OPK come in relation to when you got the crosshairs?

    HAve you gotten AF yet and if so how many DPO?

    AF started yesterday 6/2, so approximately 13-14dpo. I had the positive OPK on Friday May 17 first peak was at 3:30pm, tested again at 10:30pm and it was even higher. I still had loads of ewcm Sunday morning, but by bedtime Sunday May 19 it was drying up. I would suspect ovulation was Sunday just based on all of my symptoms, I had significantly less mucus on Monday 20th, then almost dry Tuesday 21st. I did wean my youngest in that same week (week of May 20). So I'm guessing that could count for the goofiness of it all.

    Ok. So given all that I think your OPK was correct and not your temp.

    I agree. So in looking at my OPKs, I start getting a darker line on those before I get a peak on my CB fertility monitor. IF we stick with one BD, should we aim for the peak with the OPK or peak on the monitor? I have consistently had a temp shift and mucus change the day after the 2nd peak.

    I'm KIND OF thinking about doing e4d, and once at the positive OPK depending on where it falls in the e4d pattern. I'm at a loss. We've had good timing the last 2 months, but I have used rephresh or replens so I'm suspecting it might be making me just too acidic.

    Where do we go from here? I'm at a loss. It's never been this hard for us to get pregnant.

    Thanks again for helping me. I really appreciate it!

    Peak with whichever one goes to peak first.

    I would really suggest first trying without the jellies but still with one attempt. You can also do the compromise version where you have the one attempt at pos OPK, and then after that do e4d to guard against delayed ovulation.

    I hate to see you go straight to e4d plus one without giving it a try without the jelly and with the e4d. It's your call but I see too many people drop sway tactics all at once instead of gradually.

    So we've dropped the gels this month, diet has been ok, I've had red meat here and there, exercise has been sporadic, but my stress level is VERY high.

    I am taking a couple of supplements, 4200mg fruit equivalent of cranberry, calcium citrate, magnesium and maca root. I thought I might try these again since I weaned in May, this will be my first full cycle without nursing.

    What would your frequency suggestion be? It's pretty important for us to get pregnant this month since we have been trying since January. We've not stuck with e4d, we have had sex once in 17 days, should we keep with the abstinence until peak in the next few days? Then do e4d in case of delayed ovulation?

    I can't ever recommend maca for anyone. WE don't know how it sways or if it's safe and we've had some really bizarre side effects.

    I would have you do e4d from here on in and then add in an additional attempt at positive OPK for best odds of conception.

    But if you prefer, you can try the abstain, one attempt at pos, and then go to e4d if you'd like.

    I ended up ovulation around CD 22.

    I wanted to update since it's taking us a bit to get pregnant this time. (We're headed to month the #8) We made a doctor's appointment and had blood work June 26
    7th and found that my FSH to LH ratio is off, about FSH at 5.5 and LH at 14.6. Doctor now wants me to have an ultrasound to check for cysts or abnormalities. Suspecting PCOS.

    Can we still sway if I have PCOS? Anything I should change? Supplements?
