Mwilson I'd stick to bding tomorrow for now. With such a blaring pos you could potentially only be hours away from oing (giving you a 2-o attempt). Are ypu doing e3d (bding every 72 hours) this cycle? Of course though if you're just wanting a bfp at this point then definately dtd tonight. If you cant decide you could flip a coin, let the universe decide (done this plenty of times myself for all kinds of situations [emoji23]) I like to think the 'universe' will make the right decision for us [emoji173]

Ugh I can’t deicde. And yes doing every 3 bc one attempt wasn’t sticking. But I thought I’d have another day or two before positive so now I’m thrown. I’ve flipped a few times and can’t commit haha.

My cycles range from 25 days to 30 days... lately I was ovulating early in my cycle... but since I began Clomid, it pushed it back some. This is my first round of Clomid and so I'm really not sure when AF will show... Fertility Friend predicts the 28th of Dec.

I've screen shot my charts from July to now for you to look at. I've been temping for a long time, but I love bouncing ideas off of other women who are going through similar experiences. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6c1541499c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dd3ea8df40.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...004c5e7ddd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...20576d4045.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5bce45e560.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36df057874.jpg

Thanks for that Star!

I actually think there's two cycles ff may have allocated your crosshairs two days early - Oct and Nov and that you may have oed closer to the 48 hour period after pos opk.... it also looks like a sharp dip between 9-11dpo is quite normal for you so in that case I think we could rule out seeing your dive in temp as an 'implantation dip'. It could still happen of course but I wouldn't rely on it as being a good sign of things to come. Clomid can increase your lp so I'd not be shocked to see your lp increase up to possibly 14 days. It may not affect it but better forewarned that assuming af is late [emoji4]

Star pretty much I'd have to say that only the July cycle and this cycle had any chance of conception looking at when you dtd in relation to when o occured [emoji848] I think you'll be far better off doing an e3d (every 72 hours) bd pattern until o is well confirmed by temps (example cd6, 9, 12, 15, 18) would that be something that could work with yours and dh's schedule?

You're only supposed to flip once!! [emoji23][emoji23] so what was the first flip result? For or against? Because I would do the opposite of whatever is was because subconsciously you obviously weren't happy with the first answer [emoji6]

Atomic and I talked about my plan with Clomid... and we agree that it was no wonder why I didn't get pregnant before, bc timing was off.. I was trying to follow the shettles method to sway girl... Atomic said that shettles isn't working, and suggested that I BD E4D especially since Clomid will help sway girl. I'm not doing anything with my diet. If I'm not pregnant this cycle, I may BD E4D plus an attempt at positive OPK.

Hmmm....

Also, if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I plan to take my next round of Clomid either days 2-6 or 3-7... not sure yet... anyone have stats on what is a better chance?

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ok sounds a good plan! So is your e4d what I call e3d? Eg. Cd6, 9, 12 etc or is it cd6, 10, 14 etc?

In regards to taking the clomid as far as I knew the earlier you start taking it the more chance you have of more than one egg releasing? Not sure how true that is though. I only ever took it cd3-7 as per my obs advice but mc the only cycle I conceived on it. The baby I'm pregnant with now was conceived the cycle followig a clomid cycle.

It's a really hard decision.... you know you may not o until day after next even with a blazing pos? Or as I mentioned before, you could o sometime in the next few hours. It can peetty much happen anytime between now and 48 hours time. Are you temping? If so, do you usually o day after pos opk?

Thank you! I’ll be okay if it doesn’t. It’s our first month of actually attempting so I may still have to get the hang of things. I really appreciate all your help!

I do not temp. We probably aren’t trying tonight, daughter is up with an upset stomach so it’s probably going to be tomorrow anyway. I guess it’s not meant to happen tonight. Hopefully some stuck around from the first one or delayed o and tomorrow catches.

GirlswayHGmama are you having an attempt tonight or waiting for pos opk? Speaking of which, post a pic of todays!

I was hoping to have attempt Christmas night, but when I got home from work, i found out my 2 year old had fevers all day and was crying for mommy. I don't have a fever but a very sore throat. Then I was like hopefully tomorrow the 26th I'd have a positive opk and attempt then. Now my temp has shot up & i had left sided cramping yesterday so I might have already o'd but I never got a true pos opk. Pics below. Thanks for asking and keeping track of me. I really do appreciate it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ee5b4cab39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e10d543fd9.jpg

Oh no! Hope both of you feel much better soon. Even though you don't have a fever your temp may have been elevated due to being ill. Hopefully you haven't oed but if you have there's still a chance with the 3-o attempt. Can I ask when you're doing your opks if your limiting fluids and holding for 2 hours prior?

That's what I was thinking about the 3-o attempt. This is probably not my cycle, but that's okay. I didn't expect it to be. Maybe next one.
I did take it consideration the temp factor...so who knows.
Yes, I'm not a big drinker so limiting fluids is a yes. Since I'm a nurse, bathroom breaks are few and far between so definitely holding >2 hrs. Usually more like 6hrs so maybe that's affecting it. Looking back to last months, I never found my blazing positive either.
At least I'm documenting to track things now.

Thanks pbn3!

I'm so lost. Remember how I got a positive opk on Christmas eve the same day I had some spotting? My temps haven't risen. Does this mean I didn't ovulate yet?

Well it’s officially been impossible to not cheat this Christmas!! :rolleyes: hoping it doesn’t mess me up for next month! ��

Yess me too. Impossible during Christmas:D

Noemi I cant believe you're 7dpo already!!! Cant wait to see the next few days temps! What dpo are you planning on testing?

Girlswaylondon don't sweat on xmas treats! If you were relaxed enough to not deny yourself that's fantastic and the best way to be (not stressed and obsessive) during this part of the 2ww. Just regather now and lets hope to see a bfp in a few days time [emoji3] When will you test?!

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

@pbn3 positive? Way darker than they have been. Done at 2pm my timehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cd9c8cce64.jpg

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

GirlswayHGmama I would say just off positive, *maybe* fully pos by tonight? BUT this may be as dark as yours gets! How exciting!!!! You'll get an attempt in tonight right?!! It will have been 4 days since last attempt so definately pink friendly! Plus even if you get a blaring pos opk tomorrow an attempt tonight would still likely give you a 2-o attempt which is fantastic! You'll be covered either way whether this is 'your' pos or not.

Also I was looking up HG last night and omgoodness I hope so much this next pregnancy is much kinder to you. I couldn't even imagine a day like that let alone months..... Were you part of a HG support group last time? Are the chances 50/50 of it happening again?

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Hello pbn3 yess already 7dpo, i really hope my temperature stay high:pray:i planned to test 10dpo but maybe i will already try 9dpo:D isnt it early?

Yes 9dpo is really early but I've sen bfps on that dpo before (my own included) but its mostly such a faint line if there is one that its not believeable until 10/11dpo anyway [emoji23]

Thanks, Planning on an attempt tonight. I'm super nervous because I will always feel like I didn't do enough.
Yes, I had hypermemesis gravidum with my son. Because mine lasted past 20 weeks (until I delivered and some after intermittently), I have about a 95% chance of it happening again. I lost 22 lbs in first 18 weeks. Another reason I really don't think LE diet is doable for me. I need to keep the weight on because I already lost 25+ lbs this past year. I had one two visits to the hospital for fluids before home health was started and i got fluids at home. I had a zofran pump in my abdomen (like an insulin pump) for 15 weeks. I was apart of a support group last time. It's really scary, and I hope it's manageable this next time.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Robin I would say you didn't o yesterday, maybe today? A 2-o attempt is still great conception odds. Can you post a pic of last cycles chart?

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Oh wow GirlswayHGmama that's awful [emoji22] I hope so much its at least a little kinder this time around. I got caught up in a ladies blog who also had it all pregnancy and the second time was worse. Crazy to think they haven't a better solution yet! She also used a zofran pump, was on fluids via IV's and her veins ended up collapsed, multiple trips to ER etc. I think we've all heard about it (HG) but just assume its bad nausea/vomiting that passes. It is so much more than that though, mind boggling stuff!!

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

I really want to try wait till af is due but I think I’m kidding myself! :poas:

Also in regards to temping when would I see a temp drop which meant af was coming? My LP is usually 13 days

Girlswaylondon I like the direction your chart is starting to take and cant wait for the next few days temps!! In regards to the temp drop signalling af is likely on the way, everyone is different. You may experience a steady decline in the few days before, a sharp drop the day before or even day of af. I've also had cycles that my temp stayed elevated in the post o range until af fully finished so being your first cycle temping it could be any of the above.

Hi ladies, Merry Christmas! How is everyone? I had a little break away from the forum but back now :)
Have I missed any bfps?
