To answer the question of what happened to get only one attempt in my fertile window.. I had a positive OPK and solid smiley on a Friday night.. we DTD Friday morning, Saturday and Sunday.. hubby needed a break after that and I figured there was enough boys up there at that point I was good. So went about life and imagine my surprise when on Monday I use the restroom and there is a big glob of EWCM.. okay no biggie maybe it's just left over. I even convince myself it could be left over sperm from DTD Sunday night. Manage to jump hubby Tuesday morning and call it good again... but wake up at midnight wednsday morning with horrible cramps and O pain. I pee on a digital but I already know the answer...boom solid smiley. More importantly the lines are super beyond dark I had never seen them so dark. Spend the day wiping away huge amounts of EWCM.. had never had so much (thanks blue diet!) Can't get DH to have sex wednsday, panic..Manage to jump DH Thursday AM. Lines were SO dark I was certain I'd pop the egg that day. DH gets a break and I go into the 2WW.. I try to DTD Saturday morning (this is relevant in a minute watch) as I just really wanted to but DH feels his job is done and wants a longer break. Okay fine.. Saturday evening I am certain I'm catching a cold as I feel feverish. My temp is up 99.9, then 100.1, yep def getting a cold I feel yucky.. feel feverish through Sunday afternoon when I take a nap and wake up perfectly healthy wondering wtf just happened. THAT is weird... forward another week. Boom positive pregnancy test. YAY right? Go in for ultrasound a week or two later and they can't see baby.. can't even find a corpus luteum (what!?) has me come back in a week. This time there is baby! Heartbeat! "Well that's why we didn't see her your dates were way off!" "....what?" "You said you ovulated on a Thursday but she measures as a Saturday baby"

......yep. He had the audacity to even call her a she when I was hoping for a boy because of My messed up dates and what made me angrier is he ended up right..Positive OPK 12 am wednsday. Didn't ovulate until Saturday morning. I'd say the doctor and ultrasound were full of shit but my temp shift was huge on Saturday that I felt it and felt sick from it even. The only sperm alive by o time Saturday was the Thursday sperm. One attempt in fertile window because of delayed O and then a late O on top of that :( I will always wonder what would have happened if I had gotten my wish Saturday morning... but oh well..

And there's the full story.

Thank you for your honesy account Burakoam, I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions over those weeks. It's so hard when we try desperately to control things only to be reminded that some things and some people are just out of our control. I am very much struggling to definatively decide about baby #3 for fear it will be another girl. I'm not sure why the idea scares me given that I absolutely adore the two I already have. I think maybe it's other people's opinions. I think in some ways I'm concerned that others will perceive our having a third as meaning our girls aren't enough. It's one thing for us to want to add a boy to our family, it's another thing entirely for others to think we're in some ways disappointed in our girls. What has been your experience in having DD3 and now pregnant with DD4?

Good Morning ladies :) My thermometer was set to celcius and I'm uncertain of just how accurate a conversion would be. I tried for 40 minutes to switch it back (it had ONE button for everything ), during which time my temp dropped drastically because the house was super cold. I'll have to skip temps for today. *sigh*

@Robin, are you still temping? How are you feeling?
@Maxim, did you BD?
@wantanother do you have a new pic?
@Butterflies, do you have any cheapies to test on just to pass the time? lol

Women who are constantly monitored via scans and blood work have reported confirmed ovulation before their OPK showed positive, but not by days (for example, doctor confirmed O via scan in the morning, the woman gets a positive OPK that evening). It varies for all women.

Otherwise, it is a guessing game and this is why Atomic suggests keeping a pattern, to cover bases. For pink swayers she suggests every 4 days and an optional attempt at +OPK.

In addition, I have read information that suggests Ovulation takes place during the thermal shift, not the dip as it is widely believed. I think of it like a bow and arrow. You have to pull back first, which is where you see temp dips (estrogen), aim and release (LH and Progesterone), which is where you see the thermal shift. This makes the most logical sense to me.

TCOYF says that your last day of EWCM is your peak, so that's also something else to keep an eye out for.

All of these tools like BBT charting, OPK's and FAM should be used together. The more tools you use, the more of a clear picture you will get AFTER ovulation happens. In other words, they are best used to confirm ovulation, not predict it. LH surg can happen many times if your body is gearing up but doesn't O, or it can happen just once.

Hmm... This is a very helpful post. I ended up having multiple days of positive OPKs as well (which never happens for me), but only managed to BD at the first and didn't again until six days later. If it's the first OPK you're supposed to go by then maybe I still have a shot. When will you test, Cosmo?

Ladies, so sorry about AF! Fingers crossed for a great next month.

Butterflies, I definitely see it!!! Woohoo congrats!

Mia, I am in the same shoes with #3 except heavily swaying girl again. Best of luck in what you decide.

AFM, we did manage to BD last night (finally augh!) and temp was down again today, and yet again another "high" reading in digi. Will I ever get a peak? This is such a rollercoaster. What do you think?

That sounds like a good one attempt, Erin :) how many days of +OPK did you have? I haven't decided when I'm gonna test because I'm not 100% on how many DPO I am. I could be 5 or 2 DPO lol.

@Maxim, that looks like a difficult one and we can't really tell anything until we get more data. That's the nature of BBT charts. If today's temp is a fallback rise, you will need an extra couple of days to get crosshairs on ff.

Your monitor should give you low,high,peak,high,low in that order. So you can get several days of low, several days of high a couple of peak days (although usually its just one) and then back down to high and then low again.

You can jump from low to high, never get a peak reading and ovulate and you'll see high again and eventually low.

Glad you got a BD session in there :)

Awee yay! Congrats butterflies!

Sorry AF arrived guys. That is never super fun. Maybe have some chocolate like I usually do!

Maxim glad you got another BD in. I think you needed it just in case!

My temp dipped slightly today but not much. It's still the highest it's ever been. It's 100% due to the progesterone. I am 5 or 6 dpo today. Af is due on Thursday. I'm not sure when I'll start testing bc most people have 14 luteal days but I only have 10-11 lately.

What has been your experience in having DD3 and now pregnant with DD4?

For me it has been a rollercoaster but let me reassure you with this. I had the same thoughts, same fears that you did. They were compounded by the fact that with DD3 my ex who actually left me because i couldnt give him a son apparently according to him he was on his second baby with his new wife...and he was having his first son. I called bullshit to everyone and everything around me, but i was already so in love with DD3 and i had wanted her so bad girl or boy though i wanted so badly to give my husband a son just to 'prove' i could i guess..so i got over it pretty fast. With DD4 however i went all out with the sway (only thing i feel i could have done more of myself was the weight lifting) and it was a much harder pill to swallow when i got the gender results back early on. But see i obviously have my own mental health issues relating to gender disappointment...its not that my girls arent amazing, and i have found that from this site i have alot of peoples dream family even..its all in MY head. I had to go back into therapy this pregnancy and on an anti depressant to survive my feelings but now that things have 'normalized' i dont care anymore about what my ex has or my friends or anyone for that matter. I have 4 daughters, each awesome in their own way.

It was a long road but i do believe if you want another baby bad enough, even with a strong preference for a boy, if it was another girl, you would eventually find a way to cope with your feelings. Everyone has a different healing time with gender disappointment so i dont know if it would be as speedy as my own recovery (which i admit is still in progress just enough..i do still have my really bad days)

Age caps between our babies are different so i dont know about 2-2-2....However i have VERY high hopes that my two youngest will be super close being 18 months apart..my brothers are 18 months apart and have been best friends their entire lives and always did everything together (even the really bad stuff LOL..my poor parents) so i want to say even with 3 girls your babies would all grow up happy and healthy and just fine :) Those mama bear instincts will eventually overpower your feelings of judgement and sadness at what others may think and you will be able to stare them directly in the eyes and say "thanks for your opinion but all 3 of my kids are great just as they are, and us having 3 or even 4 kids does not mean that any of the others werent 'enough"

I'm on fence also, it's for sure he darkest I've had so far, but CBD still says high (from fmu, haven't tested with it again, should I?). What should I do with BD? We did last night, should we wait until tomorrow am to see what happens to be safe? Trying for just once in fertile window.

Maxim I meant to mention earlier that alcohol can cause false high temps so if you drank more than usual the night before those two high temps then that could explain the spike. Also your opk looks so close to positive. I could almost bet you get a solid smiley tonight or tomorrow morning whenever you test...

If you get a peak reading tomorrow then it's likely you'll o the following day so that will give you a 3-o attempt which is certainly possible to conceive from but at the same time less likely too.... I would wait and see how your opks look like tomorrow and make a decision from there.
