Thanks pbn3, for all your helpful replies!!! :)
Great news Girlswaylondon! It's go time!
Thank ladies!
Quick question I have so much ewcm this month! Regardless of being on the le diet for 3 Months! Do you think this will doom me?!
Girlswaylondon if you're worried you could take an antihistamine this morning or a couple hours before bding to try and dry some of it up? This used to be an old tactic used to make a more hostile environment for swaying pink. Atomic has shifted away from it last I knew but if you have excess ewcm it may help lessen it some? If you have time check out some of the older ttc a girl threads to do with antihistamines :)

Hello girlswaylondon, you have ovulation this month earlier then me:flowerz:I still have negative opk:tissue: good luck:HH:
Hey Noemi! Yes was due to ovuLate Sunday I suspect maybe the peppermint tea and diet have helped bring it forward slightly! Let me know when you ovuLate!
Wow I got a flashing smiley on dual opk this morning! I'm only on day 9. Last cycle it started on day 10 - had 3 days of flashing & then solid on day 13. Maybe the Clomid is working a little better this cycle - I'm making more estrogen earlier or something?

Yes ovulation can be earlier coz of peppermint tea:) it happend to me also before. I will let you know and think of you:wink:
Woohoo girlsway!! Good luck with that attempt!
Pbn did you see my temp this morning? What do you think?
Plastic I've never had a BFP that early, so keep your hopes up!
ABC how exciting, sending baby dust to all of you attempting today :)

THanks so much guys, we had our attempt!! The wait begins again!
Yay for flashing smiley Abc!!!
Greydore that spike is a good sign you have indeed oed but it's still questionable as to whether it was cd13 or 16.... was that near pos opk cd12?? If so then combined with the o pain cd13 and a primary spike the following morning I'm inclined to lean towards cd13 (only because of the combination of things, none on their own are a strong factor) however when it comes to testing time you have to remember that cd16 is also a good possibility and therefore you may actually be 3dpo less :)

When you say didn't hear back is that for results from bw or just to discuss what's going on? It isn't normal for your tests to lighten darken and lighten again.... there is the possibility of ectopic too if your hcg levels are fluctuating. Not trying to add to your worries but they really should be taking this more seriously [emoji34]Quote:

Thank you Pbn! The near positive opk was on cd 13. It was negative cd 14 and 16. Looks like it will be another wait and see month!
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
Greydore did you do an opk cd12?
Abc have you decided what you'll be doing bd wise this cycle?

Pbn - I have no idea what to do :( Help!!!
So I got a flashing smiley on dual OPK this morning on CD9. I thought this seemed early for that (I just started testing yesterday) and thought maybe it had to do with the Clomid - but I went back to my August cycle (my pregnancy/miscarriage cycle), and turns out I had a flashing smiley on CD9 that cycle too. On that cycle I had 4 days of flashing, solid on CD13, we had an attempt on the night of CD13, and I think I ovulated on CD15. This past cycle I got a flashing on CD10, flashing for 3 days, solid on CD13, and of course we don't know exactly when I O'ed but likely CD15 or 16. So - I'm guessing I'll still get a solid smiley around CD13 - but can't be sure of that. Two cycles ago I got a +opk on CD10. And then there's the issue that my body takes FOREVER after +opk to actually ovulate - which I'm still hoping Clomid will help fix, but who knows.
So as far as when to attempt... I don't know... I was thinking on CD10 and CD13 (assuming +opk on CD13), but now I'm wondering if we should just wait until I get the solid smiley since I'm wondering if it might come earlier this cycle. DH is kinda pressuring us to start BD earlier/do more attempts as he really is ready for us to get pregnant. I'm REALLY ready to get pregnant too, but I still want the best odds of a girl :(
The other issue is whether to have him release or not. I just can't get over the worry that his sperm count of 99 mill will override everything else I have done in terms of swaying. BUT - I was thinking about it tonight, and his morphology % (normal sperm shape) is only 4%. Normal is 3% or higher but it sounds like the normal range goes up to like 15% - so he's definitely on the low end in terms of normal shape sperm. So even though he has a high count, maybe the actual number that are normal/ able to fertilize an egg is more in line w/ an average sperm count? Does that make sense? With 99 mill and a morphology of 4%, I guess it means that sample of DH's sperm had only like 4 mill "normal" sperm. So if a guy had a sperm count of like 40 mill and 10% normal morphology - he'd have 4 mill "normal" too. Yes - I'm overthinking it - and that's bad for my sway, I know :) :) :) It's just my one big hang up!! I'm not stressing about it all the time I just can't make a decision about how/when to attempt this cycle. I don't know whether to have him release before our attempt. I know we can get pregnant w/ a 14 hour pre-attempt release (as we did in August), but I also don't want to cut the odds of conception as I'm so sick of swaying lol!!!!
I'm wondering if maybe he should just release each night from now until the night of our attempt - so basically he would end up releasing 24 hours before attempt. Since our attempt will probably be in 2-4 days from now, that wouldn't really be FR, just a way to keep his sperm fresh and *maybe* lower count a bit.
That was way longer of a response Pbn than I think you were expecting!!!! Sorry!!!!! :) :)
I kinda got lost in numbers on the sperm explanation [emoji23] but get the gist. Ok so I was actually going to suggest cd9 (tonight) and cd12, 15 (so an e3d pattern) simply because why not start on first day flashing smiley for something different and it has a nice feel to it - like things are getting going on you body so why not get the attempts going at the same time? Have dh release each night prior to attempt night (except tonight of course as too late for that). Any more than that and you may risk putting too much pressure on him (eg daily release) A release the night before will empty the tank so to speak so theoretically if it generally takes 48 hours for swimmers to recover then he'll be running on half a tank for your actual attempt..... how does that sit with you? You should still only end up with one attempt in fertile window but with increase odds of conception, you'll be covered for delayed o plus dh sperm count wont be at maximum health? Entirely up to you of course and what you're comfortable with xxoo

Hang on! You're having a scan cd13 so you'll get an idea how close to ovulation you actually should be! So maybe attempt tonight or tomorrow night and then see what result your scan brings?
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Pbn - that sounds reasonable. Except only problem is DH is already in bed tonight :) I could go in & get him up as he just went to bed not long ago but I feel like he wont be into it tonight. Should we just go back to the plan of CD10, 13, & 16? And maybe have him release the night of CD12 & 15?
Yea I thought about that too - I'm REALLY hoping the Tuesday scan gives us a good idea of where things are at. Only issue is I wont get to talk to the doctor until the next morning when he calls me b/c he's out of the office on the day that I do my scan. But I will ask the tech to give me the measurement of the follicle. Will the ultrasound show if I've already ovulated? I've only had one u/s around ovulation time so I don't really know what to expect!!!Quote:

Also you're doing opks which will help in way of knowing how close you should be at u/s if you get a solid smiley that morning again (cd13).

Thanks Pbn!!! I'll try to get all the information from the tech that I can :) :) I'm excited too I want the next few days to go faster! :)
How are you feeling?!!! Only a couple more months!!
Good! But really tired! Didn't get much sleep last night between kids, husband and cats [emoji13] going to try and have a nap before the evening fun of dinner, baths and bed lol

Haha yea I'm sure it's exhausting particularly at this stage of pregnancy!!! Naps are the best - I couldn't live without them! ENJOY! :) :) :)
Both! They're awful. We suspected an ectopic after my second loss from my tests doing similar (nothing happened).Quote:

Hello girlswaylondon, so my opk is positive today:)it is funny we have every month nearly the same, difference just one day:) good luck for us both
TP how frustrating for you not knowing exactly what’s going on :( hope you get answers soon!
Noemi, woohoo! I knew we ovulated close together! Good luck with your attempt! Are you doing j&d?
Tp I'm so sorry, I think the unknown is harder than having a definite answer to what's going on. Please keep us updated.
Noemi yay!! Excited for you and girlsway! Noemi do you temp? I think girlsway you said you don't right?
Pbn forgive me if you've posted your backstory on here and I haven't seen it. Are you having a boy or girl? How many kiddos do you have? As exhausting as it is, I still prefer the third trimester over the first! Haha.
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
I really dont know if do j&d. Last time i got up immediately. Maybe i stay in bed for 5-10 minutes and after stand up. Did u do j&d? And how often did u bd? I know frequency doest matter but i still have it in my mind. We do like every 4-5 days protected and now just 1 attemp unprotected ofc:)
Hello greydore, yes i temp every month, it is better to know exactly when i ovulated, coz every month it is changing, one month i ovulate exactly in the day of positive opk other month 2 days later. Last month i did e4d and i missed the egg:( so now just 1attempt in positive opk. Pink dust for us all:HH::babyf::luck:
Girls pls how can i add in my profile my son and i am ttc girl, i really cant find it:think:
Noemi I did e4d at one point in this cycle, and now I'm afraid I missed the egg too [emoji17] (one attempt at O-3 and another on day of O). But I'm not exactly sure when I ovulated so we will see. Are you on Tapatalk or using the website to post? It's different depending on which one you use I think
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
I use website. Greydore i wish you a lot of luck and ii hope you didnt miss the egg like me. Last month i bd 3 days before ovulation and after ovulation so i missed it. If u bd in day of ovulation u have great chance:) i do opk so i change e4d for 1 attempt at positive opk so we will this month:)
I hope that works better for you. I just know that 1 to 2 days before O is the best for conception, so we will see. I feel relaxed this month and am okay either way.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong- but click on your name at the top, the I think there is a sidebar on the left of the screen that you can choose to edit your profile and signature
