Pbn yea I think that's a good plan for me. I'm even fine BD-ing unprotected earlier in the cycle around day 5/6/7, it's just when I get closer to day 9 or 10 I start getting stressy about timing (as I've gotten +OPKs as early as CD11!). So I think that's a good idea - although hopefully this is THE cycle anyways! :) :)
Totally understand the bd and then next day get the positive opk. I worry about that too. I like your plan of bd at positive and then do the e4d after that. I think I may do that haha.Quote:

So just to use up my opks I had left I tested yday (CD17 when I always O) because CM hasn’t been watery and it was negative, tested today expecting it to be positive and it’s negative! So now I’m freaking out, this is late for me to not even have a surge! My temps show no ovulation either.
I’ve had a mild cold but nothing terrible, surely that wouldn’t delay it?!
Girlsway everything can influence ovulation. Stress, some cold, some changes in your life style... i normally ovulate cd20 but this month it was cd16, i think coz of misccariage and i gained 1kg:p
It reminds me why I don’t like opks! Hoping this e4d covers the bases! :nails:
I’m doing opk and somewhat e4d, I just like being stressed and confused all the time :bigsmile:
Another month with all of you, wonderful ladies! Hopefully next month we all will move to another thread which starts with the words "Due in ..." :)
Last past five months I was hoping to see at least a hint of a line... well, now I will be always afraid of faint lines, so 2ww will be even longer for me now.
So after several days of faint lines in a row, I stopped testing, and started bleeding yesterday (glad it didn't take too long). So cd2 for me I guess. I'll just do e4d (approx. every 72 hours) this cycle, will take a break from Femara, and add some alcohol (at least for a few days :)).
GL everyone!
Good luck sunstars, sorry about the confusing time you’ve had his month!
Sunstars- have you found a post about which alcohol is preferred for swaying? Vodka, beer, wine??? I'm eating out a lot this week and I've been have vodka a few times a week with my Pepsi.

Girlswaylondon, thanks, yeah, I had two happy days at least and lots of congratulations from all of you :)
GirlSwayHGmama, no didn't find, but as I remember it didn't matter much. I don't like alcohol in general, only can tolerate some wine. I have Martini (vermouth) left from holidays and I like it, but again just a little bit.
I'm sorry sunstars :( I know what you mean about faint lines. After two early m/c with lots of faint lines that didn't progress a whole lot I'm terrified of them too now :(
GirlSwayHGmama - I'm a wine lover so I drink wine but I've read stuff online that vodka and red wine specifically have components in them that lower blood sugar (I think it's resveratrol?), which is good for a girl sway. So while I know the type of alcohol isn't too important I think red wine and vodka specifically are good choices! :)
Girlsway - You are CD17 today? And you did an OPK yesterday and today? I know with me, my OPKs remain positive for a very short time - I think I'm a "short surge" person. So if that's you as well, it would be very easy to miss the surge if you've only done one or two tests. Also - my OPKs are positive at least 48+ hours before I O so even if you had a negative today and yesterday you still could be O-ing anytime now if you're surge ended before O started. You're temping right? Hopefully that will help you confirm O any time now :) And I do think you will covered with E4D whenever O occurs!!
As for me.... I want to be pregnant. Seriously - I'm SO over swaying & waiting :( Negative OPKs today and no EWCM yet but hopefully in a few more days... pleeeease God let this be the cycle!!!!
I still haven’t had a temp rise in fact I had a pretty big dip today?! Does that mean o could happen today? I get confused about the dips!
I know exactly what you mean, abc, I feel the same!
Girlsway - A big dip could definitely be an "ovulation dip"! Hoping that's what it is and you see a rise tomorrow!
Is a dip how you know ovulation is the next day??
No sign of o :( really worried now my cycles were shortening with the diet now in either not ovulating or my cycles are longer!
It happens in some women - I think the dip can happen a day or two before O or O day itself. But not all women see it.Quote:

As for me, I usually see a big dip two or three days before O. One/two days before is right at coverline and i have a postive OPK and then day of O is my spike. Just me though....

Abc I’ve actually only just started to get some today!!
Girlsway I think that might be the case for me as I still haven’t had a pos opk!
Opk looks pretty dark. Should I bd tonight or take another opk later and see how dark? Attachment 38650
That’s a blazin positive!
Then we plan to bd tonight and lay there for about 15 min haha. J & d after 5 hasn’t been working.
Just wanted to pop in here and give an update on my ivf cycle as promised.
I am on my last day of meds now..
I have 29 follicales right now! I am having my egg retrieval on Monday! Just so pumped at our results so far..let's hope most of the eggs are mature and survive fertilization etc.
Good luck to all you ladies swaying!!! Hope to see some bfp this month!!
ABC it doesn’t get much darker than that!
Robin so good to hear from you. I’m glad the ivf cycle is going well. 29 follicles is amazing! The odds of such a high number is great. Praying it ends up a straightforward and smooth process with a beautiful healthy bub at the end. [emoji120][emoji177] thanks for dropping by and the well wishes.xx
Good luck robin!!
At the store, rephresh vs replens moisturizer???? With estrogen or without?!?!?! So confused.

Very true, I know this is very up in the air. I would love to get pregnant this month. I'm probably just desperate for something that sways in addition to my one attempt and alcohol.Quote:

Girlswaylondon hang in there and try go with the flow more. Your body will ovulate when its ready xo
Robin awesome to hear from you and with such amazing news!!! Cant wait for your next update [emoji3]
GirlswayHGmama I'd skip the represh/replens. The only reason why it was used as a pink tactic to begin with was because it cut the odds of conception. Like Robin said its not a standard recommendation anymore.

Hello ladies. I’m jumping in with a question. This is my 3rd month of ttc and I am swaying girl. (Horribly I may add [emoji6]) Has anyone had spotting on cd22? Just when wiping. Nothing made it past that. And pink only. And now nothing. Just that one time. What do I make of this? I typically have a 31 day cycle and have a dancing O date. It jumps all over my chart but is usually later than average. (Cd18-22)

Hannah - so my last cycle (the cycle immediately following my early miscarriage in Dec), I had a bit of pinkish/reddish spotting - very slight - around day 14 or 15 I believe, which is about the time I normally ovulate (and I had other signs around that time that I might be ovulating). I looked it up and I guess "ovulation spotting" can happen with some women, although it's not super common. I've never had it before and it may have just been something more related to the m/c but who knows. Do you think you might have just ovulated? Are you tracking with OPKs or temping?
Trust me.. I dropped it the second month of TTC my first daughter I didn't get pregnant. Atomic told me it doesn't really sway that heavily anyhowQuote:

mwilson - Yup looks positive to me!!!! WOOHOO goodluck!! FWIW I don't do J&D - I figure # of attempts is more important. Atomic got her girl w/o J&D. When we got pregnant in Aug & Nov, I stayed laying down for about 15 minutes before getting up and going pee - I think that helped in us conceiving.
GirlswayHGmama - Yea I'm with the others about Rephresh. It seems like Atomic really doesn't believe that it does much if anything in terms of swaying, just cuts the odds of conception. You could do an antihistamine a couple of hours before your attempt if you want to dry up CM & feel like you're adding something to your sway - although I don't think Atomic is very sold on that anymore either.
Robin - wonderful news!!! Please let us know how the egg retrieval goes!!!
Odd question, anyone ever use coconut oil as a lube? Since most lubes aren’t conception friendly, just curious for better options.
Do not use coconut oil as lube. Sperm is not meant to swim through oil and both semen and EWCM are water soluble. Coconut oil, regardless of what you read other places online, is not good for TTC.
I would use a small amount of any sperm safe, conception friendly jelly like Preseed as a lube. Larger amounts may sway blue, use o nly the minimum amount needed for comfy BD.
When we calculated it, the RepHresh (and in fact all jellies) had the exact same results both for people using them and not using them. This was identical to the overall success rate of the site indicating the jellies do nothing to help a sway whatsoever.Quote:
