Morning all! Ash can you post a screenshot of your chart?
Hi Maxim! Hope you had a great holiday, it's so nice to have you back :) So what's happening at your end?
Lola and Ash I have no idea what time it is where you's are but cant wait to find out whether you's added an attempt 😀😀
Ash that's so awesome that your pos opk came early 🎉🎉🎉 can't wait to see your chart!

What do you think should I add another attempt tonight or tomorrow? And what do you think of the temp this am? It was taken as soon as I woke up and at the same time.

Ash and Lola! Yay for O-Sync! Better than N-Sync lol [emoji23]
Maxim: welcome back!! Must have been nice on HE diet being away.
Thanks for the positive vibes :)

The temp is fine and it may just have had a jump as your body is gearing up to o :) kinda matches your opks, plods along then bam! Blaring pos!
In regards to your attempts well this is tricky 😕 atm you have an eod pattern in fertile window which is said to sway blue. But if you add more attempts then will that make it even stronger blue as you'll then have multiple attempts at pos opk?? I *think* you said in the past that you bded heaps (daily) when you conceived your boys? If that's the case all I would suggest is doing the opposite and not having anymore attempts and have the le diet is your strongest tactic. I'm sorry I cant be of more help Ash :( this really is a flip a coin kinda scenario.

Thanks pbn it's ok I'm always complicated!! This is my BD pattern from the only other one I've tracked in 2008. I will honestly be happy with a bfp no matter what and I feel like I haven't had near enough attempts lol it's so hard to hold back! But I do know I have ALWAYS had a he diet and I've completely changed my eating and I know I ALWAYS had the big O so I'm hoping these two things can help a bunch. [emoji18] we will see. No to hold back from another attempt. Maybe if I wait till tomorrow am I can tell myself it's to late for it to matter lol
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
If you can wait until tomorrow am that would be fantastic.. you have this cycle covered really nicely for a bfp!
Eekkk.... thanks!!
Sky, Lola. So sky you Od yesterday or day before? And Lola I guess we will see if we did for sure on the same day when our temps come in the next couple days! I'm so scared to test I'll let you go first! I can believe we're having the exact same cycles that's so odd
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
All the best lola and ash for O sync!!! 🤣
How are you travelling Iwant4?
Is any one actually due to test soon?
Gender selection review was finalised in Australia this week and not approved. I made the mistake of heading to the comments section 😐
DH 'made it clear last night he is done'. In saying that though hes no where closer to book in for a vasectomy and im certainly not researching for him.
We're at the point whatever decision comes next one of us loses. I just hope whatever decision that is doesn't break us.
My body must be gearing up to O. Strange tender bbs, ewcm back on track. Im cd 17 i think somewhere cd19-21 i will ovulate. I certainly think i have some pcos going on. Im carrying alot of extra weight due to the stress after ds5 and attempts at trying to manage and deal with my feelings. Plus working 4 nights is taking its toll as i feel like im always eating but there not much i can do about that part atm.
Fx for you all

Netti big hugs xxoo I was at that exact point with dh late last year. Anytime I would mention anything to do about ttc he'd get this annoying sooky la la face then say nothings wrong when there clearly was. I sat him down after the upteemth time and described exactly how I was feeling and what this meant to me, I used your exact words that no matter what is decided, one of us would lose and that was when we agreed to try 3 more cycles. He said he didn't want me to resent him and this way we finally came to a compromise. He kept up his end of the bargain and now I'm keeping up mine. In saying that I was ready to stop, I can live with not ttc anymore and in fact I've been so happy since I officially 'stopped'. He too hasn't mentioned anything about permanent protection. We also haven't bded since last cycles attempts so maybe abstinence is his birth control plan 😂😂😂
Are you coming up to any kind of annual leave? Sounds like you need a break, some 'me' time. Have you got anyone close (grandparents) that can stay a night or two so you can go somewhere for a short break?
Big hugs, wish we were friends irl so I could take you out for a coffee or better yet wine 😉
So sorry netti maybe a whoops will happen because my dh was DONE and he wanted to get a vasectomy and I wouldn't let him but he refused to ttc and when we were both in a happy place ds3 came alone very unexpected! Were you trying to sway for any of your other sons? You have 5? If so your super woman!! 4 keeps me so busy it's like a mad house. But I could be well on my way for ds5
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
O sync 🤣 Love it Iwant4kids! How are you? Getting closer to your appt!
Ash-We'll know soon! Interested to see what our temps do tomorrow AM. I'm scared to test too & will try to wait until at least 10dpo!
Netti-Hugs! Hope DH changes his mind! I'm sorry for what you're going through. I like pbn's suggestion for "me" time. Maybe you need a little retail therapy! Lol Always works for me [emoji854]
Pbn-it's almost 9PM here & haven't had another attempt yet, but it's not out of the question. I feel these strong O pains so I know something is going on in there & so afraid I'm going to miss the egg again. It's great to hear that you're happy!! I tell ya-ttc is so stressful & exhausting!!

When was you last attempt Lola? Last night?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Lola go with your gut. If it's saying have another attempt than do it. I guess try and think of it as come confirmation of o would you regret not having another attempt more than having anothe attempt 😕
Ash-yes it was last night & solid smiley this AM so I'm hoping that would cover it.
Pbn-I like your way of putting it. If I don't get a BFP, then I will think-ugh should've had another attempt. If I don't get another girl I'll think shouldn't have done another attempt....it's a catch22 lol.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Lol Lola I'm going to impart my favourite advice when you cant decide - flip a coin 😉
DH is actually doing a little extra work tonight, so if we BD, it will be a late night rendezvous [emoji6] I think I'm just going to see how we feel when he gets home...
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Mine is sick and ran to the store for medicine so I think I'm off the hook. We will see what my two attempts get me ! Trying to stay calm I'm in no rush for a girl although I would dearly love to have birthdays spread apart a bit more. Seems like my fertile time is June/July/August
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Has he been feeling sick long ash? Was he sick for yesterdays attempt? They say being ill at time of conception can sway pink, not sure if that means dh as well though. So if you got your pos opk today then you should a temp rise morning after next... such an exciting time!!! I'm so happy you ladies don't mind me being a part of this, I couldn't be more excited for you all!!
Or maybe given your blaring pos you may o during the night and see a spike in the morning 😀😀 cant wait to find out!
Hi ladies, can I join you please? I've been lurking for a while and this thread is fab! I'm currently 4dpo and hoping for a girl, I have two cheeky boys already :)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pbn-we'd be lost without you!! So happy you're here!!!!!
We did a late night BD and decided to use sylk and J&D. I started to develop a sore throat and slightly stuffy nose this evening, so as much as I hate it...hopefully it'll work in our favor. My plan is to wait a few days and BD on Wed during the new moon. Come on fertile girlie vibes!!!
Ash-can't wait to hear about your temp in the AM!!!
My Ovulation Chart
Hi mummy2boys! We'd love for you to join, welcome! We're in the same boat...I have 2 awesome boys, now need my baby girl :) Yay 4dpo-you'll be our 1st tester then! We LOVE to POAS here & of course stare at them, hoping for squinters [emoji854] How early do you plan to test and how long have you been ttc? I'm going to attempt to hold off until 10dpo!
My Ovulation Chart
Yay Lola what an awesome comprise for an attempt - lube and j&d!!!! I could not be more excited for you eeeeeeeekk!!!!!
Hi and welcome mummy2boys 😀 as you may already know we are a very chatty bunch! The more the merrier 😀
So spill! Did you sway? Are you using opks, charting etc? Would love a screenshot of your chart if you are!! Otherwise fill us in on what you did!
Thanks ladies.
Me and DH did go out kid free a few weeks ago so that was nice. Im thinking of making a hair appmnt in a few weeks. Unfortunately we don't have alot of people around to help us out and me and dh prefer to do things ourselves though i must admit it is hard at times but im mostly organised. Its when my mental and emotional health get the better of me which is mainly due to wanting more children and specifically a dd.
Yes i have 5 funny amazing boys. They are all really good cheeky and noisy too. No annual leave as yet but im hoping all the work issues slow down soon. My next leave is for ds5 first birthday in July.
I semi attempted a sway for ds5 yet i struggled with the diet and exercise side of things. I think knowing alot more now would help if there was a next time. I struggled so much with the concept of the diet and cardio rather than in the frame of mind of just doing the best i can.
I don't like to get too heavy with the babies talk with DH but i will mention things frequently. Im thinking of starting the le pcos diet and just adding what i can manage in a sway.
Ds5 first birthday is in July and im hoping DH will be feeling abit nostalgic that there are no more babies in the house. That would give 10 weeks on le diet and trying my best 😂 and i can only hope

Mummy you will be first to test! Welcome... we love poas here and love it when other poas haha.
Pbn yes he was sick during the last two attempts but I think he just got super sick last night so I doubt I'll get another morning attempt in but I had another slight temp rise so I doubt it'll matter anyway. And like Lola said we would be lost without you I was seriously watching the clock waiting for you to wake yesterday haha.
Netti that sounds like a good plan. If he's anything like my hubby just get him in a good mood and get on top lol and he can't resist letting it fly [emoji13] might be how we've had a couple whoopsies!!
AFM no attempts last night and I don't know if any this am hubby is sick but even when he had pneumonia he wanted to BD so I don't think it'll be hard to get him to if I want. Slight temp rise this am.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Pbn-thanks for your advice & encouragement!! Hope this plan worked!! Yes, Ash & I were both watching the clock [emoji6] I kept thinking "Pbn will know what to do!!!!"
Ash-yay for a slight temp rise! I had a slight temp rise too! FF hasn't detected O yet, but thinking this rise meant I O'd. Not in the 98's yet like last time. I think we're still O-sync though 🤣 Sorry DH is sick, but may work in your favor for a DD! Fx!!!!!
Netti-5 boys, lots of action packed fun around your home I'm sure [emoji12] Always exciting to celebrating a 1st birthday-how sweet! Are you having a party? Hope that helps DH realize he's ready for another after all!
My Ovulation Chart
Lola ff usually gives crosshairs on day 3 of temp rise. I like it o'sync [emoji12]! We had another attempt this am being sick does not stop my machine!! But I took your advise and went with lube and j&d what a good idea!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Thanks Ash, this is only my 2nd time using temps & think it will be more accurate this time since I switched to vag midcycle last time! Hope to see crosshairs soon! Lol-not even being sick holds him back huh?! Def a machine haha! So glad that you used lube and J&D too!! Sure hope we're on our way to DD!! I figured if we're going to BD again, then might as well try to decrease the swimmers! I never really put a lot of stock into the moon phases, but still love that the new moon will align perfectly with our next BD. I'll take every little possible girl vibe [emoji6]

Thanks for the welcome everyone [emoji4]I've loved reading all about your attempts etc. I've been on the le diet for about a year but hubby was very hard to get on side! He's quite happy with what we've got already. He's still not completely on board but coming round to the idea. This month is the first really trying and the first time I've taken temps. It's been tricky as my 3yr old is a terrible sleeper and I don't often get three hours uninterrupted [emoji23]I will try and post my chart in a bit. I'll probably test early, complete poas addict [emoji23]Hopefully there will be lots of bfps coming up for everyone soon!

Look forward to seeing your chart mummy2boys!
Ash you're gonna have to post a chart pic every couple days so I can stalk 👀 you know this right? 😂 have your o pains subsided? Do you think you've oed or are today?
Should be O day today Lola!! Have you felt any o pains?
Afm dh finally broke the bd drought 😂I couldn't help myselfand had to see what cd I was on and it was cd12. Too early unless I o today or early tomorrow but I've not had my usual cm lead up to o so I think maybe by delaying it last cycle it may be delayed again. Feeling like something is going on in the ovary area though 😕
So pbn have you and DH just not talked about it? Do you think he's still ok with a slip up if it happens? Did he release inside? Haha I know I know to many questions!
I have not noticed any cramping at all today but notice some the day before yesterday and some stronger ones yesterday so I fell like maybe I already have. How can I have my chart in link that you can see it. Can you not click on the link in signature or does it just take you to the sample chart still?
Has been a super busy weekend for me yard sale Friday and Saturday l, birthday party today with a dinner for the whole family! I am exhausted and enjoying a nice bath ATM. But it's been nice to be busy all weekend and not have my mind wondering. Confession time!! My friend owns a boutique and she had an $80 baby girl outfit for $20 and I could not pass it up it was ADORABLE so I bought it! And I make quilts for a hobby/extra cash side job and I ran past the fittest little girly fabric and of course I bought it. But I can kind of justify it because if I don't have a girl I can sell the blanket lol. But I'm getting excited a bit to see what comes of this all. Trying to not get my hopes up since I already have four boys.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
@skyblue how are you? Haven't heard from you in a few days? Didn't you say you Od? Are you taking temps oral or vaginal? I seen your chart and for some reason you don't have any crosshairs or anything yet? How's it been going lately? I'm full of questions today if you haven't noticed. There's nothing new with me other than waiting so I need everyone else's stats lol
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Hey Ash. Thankyou for thinking about me. We had a very busy Saturday planned so couldn't write but I was peaking every chance I got. Sorry your dh isn't feeling good but yay for the BD and Fx for bfp. I see that u guys didn't BD regularly so I am even more excited for your 2WW.
Afm, I got my stable smiley on Friday morning and we BD that night but couldn't do in the morning so did last night. I m temping vaginally and this is my first month. I haven't bn able to take temp same time everyday though I take it first thing in the morning before moving much. I was expecting it to rise today but it didn't. I tried taking twice but it was more or less the same. Hoping for the best. Fx
Lolla - That's a nice technique of using lube and J&d. Good luck to u both. Fx u get your bfp and your girls.

Welcome mummy2boys. You will be the first to test. So exciting. Fx. This sure is a great group. I love being here. Send some blue dust my way. [emoji4][emoji4]
Netti - I love your idea of talking to dh and the timing couldn't be better than that. Fx he comes on board. Keep us posted.
