Netti, most opks are good early afternoon onwards...with at least a good 2-3h hold with limited intake of fluids in that time.Quote:

Netti *most of the dip tests instruct to test between 11am - 4pm. I always found between 1pm-3pm to be best... if you have a whole lot of IC's then use this cycle to determine best time testing for you. Start testing when you feel you are approaching your fertile period and do maybe 11am, 1.30pm and 4pm to see which catches your surge best. OR keep testing daily but at 1.30pm until you see fertile cm starting then increase to the three :) and yes you should limit fluids for at least 2 hours prior to testing.

Pbn: I would not be happy to just test once a day since I am an poas addict as you all know. But maybe that's what I will do. I feel that i always have better results at my 1pm test anyway.
Thanks, Sky! My emotions for past week is like roller coaster. Feel super excited about darken tests and frustrated and sad when no confirmation on the digi as well as temp.
And i am exactly like you. Whenever dh is on business trip, i always stay up or do lots of work so i am super tired. And i will try to sleep with all the lights on lol
Agree with Pbn. Don't even think about skipping it. Just give it your best shot. This is your month!
Yep, I do, bought a box like half price a few months ago at CW, with the applicators (last time only had the tube no applicators but it wasn't preseed it was another sperm friendly lube which s name eludes me now lol)... :)Quote:

Sky-I agree...don't skip!!!!! Think positive...you've got this! [emoji109]My appt is Tues...hope it helps! I'm going to get another advanced digi & start either Sun or Mon.
LMSM-Sounds like you're getting close!!! Fx!!!
Shinay-I was hoping your temp would be on it's way up! Fx your cycle makes up it's mind! Sounds like you have the perfect BD plan on place though [emoji106]
Kat-that has to be fun testing at work [emoji854]Are you going to try SMEP? Cute that DH has a boy name-do you like it too?
Netti-what CD are you on? I'm on CD5-are we cycle buddies??
Mummy-what's the latest?
Pbn, Ash, dreaming & Sumbal-Thank you so much for not forgetting about us & coming back to visit us often [emoji173]All of you are awesome!!
Iwant4-thinking about you! Did AF start yet?
My Ovulation Chart
LMSM: good luck with your test. Fx for positive!
Pbn: i dont remember this so well, but could you help me understand something? I know 3 attempts at pos opk work since many boy sperms could wait inside. But how does eod sway blue?
The most recent picture was at 1pmQuote:

Lola: you crack me up. i hope my cycle makes up its mind fast too. Since weekend is here, it would be awesome if i get a positive and add in 3 attempts!
LMSM-agree with pbn to try preseed! I can vouch for the warning though, if you use too much...DH may have trouble!! I used it when ttc & have 2 boys!!

Lola have a fabulous time out and enjoy a glass or five for me 😉[emoji482] [emoji484]

what makes me worry about eod is if the boy sperms are still alive or strong enough to break through the egg.Quote:

Lola: have a wonderful time. Enjoy some drinks for me as well. I wish i could drink and relax hahaha.
In this scenario you dtd cd15 and oed cd17. So realistically the sperm is going to be approximately 30-48 hours old. Take into account that sperm needs approx 6-12 hours to capacitate to even be able to penetrate the egg then that really only makes them 24-42 hours old. Make sense? This is why is commonly said that a 2-o attempt has better conception odds than a 1-o attempt :)Quote:

Thanks ladies ive copied this information into my notes for future reference 🤣 my memory is bad these days
Lola im cd5 too. DH still isn't on the bandwagon for trying yet. Though when im fertile i tend to get a little randy and turn into a minx so DH may not be safe and my 'no attempts' til July could be out the window 😂😂

Uuurgghh!!. Pregnancy brain!! It was right the first time 😑

and also, the idea that boy sperm do not live as long as girl sperm is completely debunked. They live the exact same amount of time!
Pbn: lol we got what you mean! I can't wait to experience these pregnancy symptoms :D
Exactly my thought Shinay. This is what worries the crap out of me. I just don't feel bold enough to try eod but what Pbn wrote kind of opened my blocked mind a little bit more. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]God knows when will I ever Have the balls [emoji41][emoji41][emoji41][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji52][emoji52]to ever try eod.Quote:

Lol hope you have fun! Enjoy them drinks now because this is the last month for a while you'll get them [emoji4]
Sky you need to just jump up on that dh of yours and get them boys ready [emoji38] keep yourself loaded with sperm the more the better!
Shinay I'm still watching and waiting lol just find something to de-stress (easier said than done) maybe you need a night out and some wine [emoji16] oh wait is that for girls? [emoji23] it's all so confusing and O will hopefully come sooner
Netti I love it like a minx I do the same and it was SO HARD to no have the big O! But I did it! Even though I think it says somewhere this has been debunked.
AFM don't feel pregnant just feel like my normal old self with an iud and not getting a period! Worrisome but I'm just trying to roll with it! I have a ton of orders to get finished up and if I'm not sick it goes quicker.

skyblue: i didn't want to dtd eod either since i didn't fully understand this. But since my O keeps peeping in and out, i somehow ended up dtd eod to make sure my O day is covered.
ASH: i dont know which one is for blue which is for pink so i just skip alcohol altogether. It is really hard to relax, but i will try to keep myself busy over the weekend so i don't keep thinking about opk...we have a trip for our anniversary in about 2 weeks. I can't wait for a mini getaway.
And it would be really amazing if we have some good news by then.
Shinay, hang in there Hun, it's frustrating to go up and down without an definite answer...but fx O fi ally decides to show up :) we'll be waiting with you :DQuote:

Didn't get a chance to get my guaneferesin because O geared up so early so hope a tiny amount of Preseed will do the trick instead :D it makes me hopeful to see you got boys that way :DQuote:
