On the heals of many BFPs in October, here's to hoping there will be many more BFPs in November! Welcome back those that have begun their TTC journey, and welcome to those that have just started!

Thanks for starting this thread for us xx. I hope this month brings lots of bfps like October has for many :fingers:
Good luck everyone ttc!!
XXforhubby... when are you testing? Sorry I keep stalking your chart as I'm very intrigued by what is going on.
Hi, this is my first time posting! I probably won't get all the abbreviations right, but I will try lol. My bf and I are attempting to sway for a girl... We have a 9 month old boy together, as well as children from our previous relationships. I am still breastfeeding and have had af for 3 cycles now. I have some questions about using opks, I have never used them before this month. I am using the clear blue ones and have been testing since af ended. I have not gotten a positive result yet, but have fertile signs like ewcm... so I'm not sure what that means/what to do. We wanted to try FR and 1 attempt during my fertile time or at +opk. We BD last night just to have an attempt in, incase the opk didn't read properly(is that possible). Tomorrow is CD12 and my cycle has been around 30 days. Should we consider ourselves in the 2ww and keep taking opk tests to see if a positive happens? Then if I get a positive BD once again? Thank you :)
Ok, so this morning I got a solid smiley face (peak fertility) after having no flashing smiley yesterday... we BD on Friday night, is that too far away from ovulation to get pg? We aren't in a rush to get pregnant, we really just want a girl. So I guess I'm wondering if BDing again will mess up the chance of a girl or should we just go with the one try from Friday? Sorry for the questions, this is all new to me and I just really want to up my chances for a girl!! :)
Hi and Welcome! I would keep having an attempt (BD) every 4 days (3 days in between attempts), in case the opks don't work for you. Opks sometimes don't work when breastfeeding.
Fingers crossed (FX) and good luck (GL) to you!

Thank you! I think we posted at the same time lol I got a solid smiley face today. Not sure what to do now!
I'm really excited and nervous to have 2 so young :) my bf is older though so we have to try for a girl sooner then later!
Good luck and welcome Cassidy4. :happy:
Thank you :)
I am eagerly waiting for updates too xx. I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you :fingers:
Jumping onto this thread!! It's CD 7 for me today. I usually get positive opk CD12-14.
This is my second month attempting and at the advice of atomic.. we are pretty much dropping all of sway tactics except diet and exercise. I'm going to either do ED4 with extra attempt at positive or maybe even do ED3. I just want to up my odds of conception this month. We are determined to get a summer baby!!
Good luck to all you ladies! Let's hope November is good to us all!! 😊

GL to you Robin! We had our attempt last night and are going to have another one tonight...hopefully! I only have one more cycle to try before my DH gets a vasectomy. He hasn't made an appointment yet so there's that. I go back and forth with wanting to be done with having kids and having one more. Hopefully if there is another little person waiting to join our family, they decide soon!

I posted this in Oct 2ww thread too but I think most ladies have moved over here. FF just told me that it can't figure out when I ovulated. It changes the date of ovulation depending on which mode I put it on. Can you guys please check it out and let me know what you think?

I would say you O'd cd 13 momamia. The temps are a bit odd so it is confusing FF. Do you feel like you ovulated?
I think you either ovulated on cd 13 or cd 14. I have a tendency to ovulate the day before my temp rise, but everyone is different. I'm sure once you have more temps, FF will assign you crosshairs. I would keep BDing E3D or E4D in case O is delayed. I'm sure glad I did this cycle I'm on, because I geared up to and didn't until much later. I'm on cd56, and I should O today or tomorrow!

My Ovulation Chart
Did you get a + OPK moma?
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
I got a +opk on cd11. I used both wondfos and another cheapy brand. It seems like the cheapy brand are actually better for me because they showed that I had a +opk on both cd11 and cd12. So, I think the +opk on cd12 was the right one. I definitely ovulated. I personally think I ovulated on cd13. On cd14 I was no where near as bloated as cd11-13.
Good luck this month robin, also hoping November is your month too XX and one of your attempts brings you a bfp. Sorry momamia4 but I am not great a reading charts so can't really help you
I thought I was ovulating Wednesday with nearly positive opk wed am, faded in pm but more positive opk yesterday and O pains and positive opk again today so I am not sure now. Hoping yesterday or today is o day as had an attempt wed pm. Really hoping this is the month for all of us.
GL this month Robin! I'm moving on this board. We had an attempt Sunday night (CD14) and I got a peak reading on my CBD and Wondfo strip the morning of CD17 but we didn't make our attempt until last night CD18 because I wanted to stay with the pink friendly E4D so now I'm just hoping that I didn't miss the egg. I tried to use the CBD this morning but it kept saying there was an error with the test and I did it twice and I didn't want to waste anymore tests. I did take a Wondfo this morning it wasn't positive but the line was kind of dark. So am I 1DPO? GL everyone!!! I want to get pregnant this cycle because I'm tried of doing the cardio lol! I just hate exercising haha!
Welcome Ahorn! Unfortunately you can't go by the fading of opks to know when you've ovulated. The opks only measure the amount of LH in your system which can stay elevated while ovulation takes place.
Do you temp? Typically ovulation occurs 24-36 hours from the FIRST positive opk and can be as early as 12 hours or as late as 48 hours. Sometimes ovulation can be delayed, which happens quite a lot to us pink swayers! I would keep up BDing E4D well after you think you might have ovulated. I recommend BDing until CD21 or up until the latest you've ever ovulated, just in case.
FX and GL to you!

Good luck to all you ladies as well!
I am going to take your advice XX. Maybe that's wgat happened to me last cycle bc I stopped cd15 after I got +OPK!

5 dpo for me. I'm getting really impatient. Lol. In this day and age, shouldn't there be someway to find out much sooner? [emoji12]
Thanks XX! I don't temp but I probably will start if I don't get pregnant by January. I wouldn't even know how to start temping lol but I'll read up on it. According to my Ovia app I have 11 days until I can take a pregnancy test. I don't think the wait will be that bad especially since I've taken up crocheting as a hobby. DH calls me a little old lady lol.
LOL! I agree with Katt. You would think by now they would have come up with a way to know sooner.
FF wants me to discard the temp on cd10 or cd13. Either way, it says ovulation happened on cd12, so I'm 10dpo today.
Good momamia. We are cycle buddies again! I'm 10 DPO.
Are you going to still test on Halloween? I will if my temps stay up.
Here's my chart

What chart is that from? I'd like to use something other than ffQuote:

It's the TCOYF OvaGraph. I downloaded the app from Google Play. I like it better than FF. Has more features for free than FF offers.
MeanVeggieGal, I am so envious of your chart!!! It looks amazing!! :D Yes, I'm still planning on testing on Halloween. I hope my temps jump up like yours. Our temps are so similar! That's crazy!! FX for you and anyone else testing soon! I hope the weekend goes by quickly.
I still think it could be cd13 but either way you are well covered. If you are testing Halloween you should get a bfp if you are pregnant. Fx!!Quote:

I took a couple OPK (negative) this week and the lines aren't getting darker. 😞 I was hoping I could use them as an early predictor.
If my temps are high on Halloween I'll do a proper test then. So hard not to obsess over the weekend.
***Baby dust ladies***
Your chart looks great! My chart was simular last pregnancy for me!! Can't wait for you to test!
It's cd9 for me today and I think I'll do an attempt tonight. I plan on doing cd9, cd12, cd14, cd15, cd18 (assuming I o on day 14 that is)
Ed3 at this point.
I feel almost like my girl sway is now basically nothing. I am just wanting to ensure I get pregnant this month.
Has anyone ever even heard of a person getting a girl with ED3?
The other options are ED4/one attempt but that didn't work last month for us.
We could try everyday as hubby said! 😂
I really don't know what to do anymore.

fingers crossed for all of you ladies. Im 5dpo & I am having bloods to check my progesterone on monday. I really hope I can get past 10dpo this cycle!
Thanks Robin. You've given me some hope!
Sorry I don't know much about BD timing and gender. My first is a girl. I was a vegetarian before getting pregnant with her.
I am no longer a vegetarian and my pregnancies have been boys since.
GL to you Robin!
KC - that's tough. Sorry. Fx you get well past 10 DPO.
FX to anyone testing soon! I'm so excited for everyone! I'm 5dpo I think, that's what FF says anyway. I've never charted or anything and always get pregnant easily so this is all new to me! We BD 2-3 days before and 1 day after FF says I ovulated so I'm not sure if we really have a chance this month. We hope to find out before this coming weekend so we can share with my SO's sister when she visits, but I think it might be too soon for a pg test to work.
Quick question, I would like to start temping if I don't get a BFP this month. How do you do that if your up multiple times with a little one to breastfeed?
Did you DTD multiple times when you conceived her or just once that month? Outta curiosity.Quote:

Hi Robin we DTD multiple times that month. I knew I was pregnant and I knew without a doubt I was having a girl; wanted a boy! So happy she is a she in retrospect!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great! Sets my.mind more at ease!Quote:

It's worth it. If you don't you'll be wondering "what if?"
True! Thank you!Quote:
