Attempt has commenced. Excited....

[essnce629]

Get in as many attempts as possible before DH changes his mind!

[maidentomother]

I was very sick with stomach flu right at O before my last BFP. B/G twins, no swaying.

Being sick may help sway pink, fi DH will attempt, do it, and I hope you're feeling better soon

Hi ladies. Last night I crawled into bed at 9pm (early for me) and DH was studying on his computer. I had planned to wait for him but I fell asleep. Anyway, I hope this is ok but I woke up at 12.30 (so half midnight) and, on impulse, decided I would regret it if I didn't get an attempt in. So I switched places in the bed with our 3 yr old possum (who sleeps between us) and seduced DH. So it did happen, and without a condom. I hate to say this, but I'm not sure if I had his full approval, as a few times he stopped and mentioned putting on a condom but in the heat of the moment I think I replied with 'don't worry love. It'll be fine. Just go with it.' We have gone for so long without talking about that written proposal/letter that I gave him and he hadn't mentioned it either. Part of me believes it's just the act of trying for another that scares me, whereas if it's a low key attempt he is ok. So from now, what will be will be....the rest is in God's hands. In the meantime I will just keep praying that he graces us with one last healthy baby. I just have to think positive, stay relaxed, and not worry that if I get pregnant and miscarry again it will be traumatic and I might bleed to death (because, to be honest, that is my worst fear). I haven't been eating much this week and yesterday I had started to feel better. In fact, it's been about 3 or 4 days that I haven't taken ubiquinol, only folic acid. I hope that's ok. Oh yes...nearly forgot....last night before our attempt I had to get up and take two panadol because I had really painful ovulation pains. I haven't had them for quite a long time now. Hope that's a good sign. And then this morning I got my second positive smiley face OPK. So that means we BD on CD 12 and again last night. I'm just worried because when swaying girl you are meant to BD on the same day as your first pos OPK, whereas we BD just after midnight, so isn't that technically my second day of pos OPK? Does this matter Atomic? I really wanted to give it my all to sway pink. Then I had lunch yday with one of my best friends and she told me she believed if I got pregnant again it would be another boy and that my last baby that I lost was a girl. I wish people would keep things like this to themselves. I think it's insensitive, though I know she didn't mean it to be. Anyway, I really feel at peace within myself this morning that I gave it my best shot, given that I have not had DH completely on board. In all honesty, I don't know if I would ever have really fully gotten him on board, but I know how religious he is and that if we are blessed with another healthy baby then he will graciously accept it and love it (like he did last time). Today is CD 17 and my second day of pos OPK. So our BD pattern was CD 5, 9, 12 and 16/17. I am guessing I will O sometime today or tomorrow? I didn't temp for a few days this week due to being sick, but this morning it was 36.54 (my highest BBt for this cycle so far) - if only I had taken BbT yesterday I could well have ovulated already do you think? This morning when I woke up I felt a quick twinge in my right lower side that lasted a few Seconds or could it have been last night when I had all that pain? FF has not marked any crossroads on my chart as yet which is strange. Sorry for the novel.

Timing doesn't sway, so your attempts are great for pink. Without temps you can't know when you Oed, but it may have been the night before. Or not! Either way you are covered!

Can you still get pos OPKs after you have Oed Maiden? So you mean I might've actually Oed last night when I had those pains, since my BBt this morning was my first one above the cover line? Only thing is I took my BBT this morning at 7am when on all the other mornings I have taken it at 6.45am. So that makes that BBT a bit inaccurate doesn't it? Bugger. I won't be doing any more attempts now as DH probably wouldn't cave Again. I was pushing my luck just to get him to BD twice without condomms so we will just see what happens. I'm also worried as for a pink sway that DH has been working from home for the last 5 days and so not riding his bike like he usually does which is good for a pink sway. Monday he worked from home, and Tues and Wed he worked from home again because I was sick. He is usually sitting down at his computer all day though so should that help? Anyway, it's done now isn't it? Is there anything else I can do now to help our pink sway or should I just relax a bit now and go with the flow? Thanks for all your help. I feel I've done the best I can given the circumstances with DH not fully on board.

15 minutes isn't going to affect your temp, and even uf it does, it's going to be so slight it won't affect your chart pattern. I think at this point all you can do is jyst relax and see what happens.

[maidentomother]

What Bunny said. How long your OPK stays positive usually says nothing about when you Oed. Yes you can O before your OPK turns neg.

I recommend sticking to the diet strictly to provide the low glucose environment XX embies prfer and aldo in case you aren't pregnant l

I hope you get your bfp hun! I feel your pain, I just lost my dd (which I conceived when sick!). hang in there and sending out sticky dust!

[atomic sagebrush]

I think you had a nice attempt and I would not change a thing.

Please try not to worry about the particulars.
