Alright so now I'm stressing out..
CM is completely dry.. I was supposed to ovulate today.. But my OPKs all weekend were negative.. Now I'm worried I missed it.. I was testing opks starting on CD 11 though.. All negative.. Am I going crazy here?? :( ugh..
Help!
Nan I wouldn't stress, just keep BDing. I wouldn't think you have Oed yet. If you are basing your O prediction on past cycles that counts for very little, each cycle is different. One thing I will say is your attempts seem quite pink friendly, have you thought about trying SMEP? That's how our second boy was conceived. Basically dtd every second day after AF finished and once you get your +opk dtd every day for three days in a row. Worth looking into. There's a free Kindle ebook that explains it better than I did x
Personally I never O until at least CD17 ( well that was this cycle!) And usually it's CD20 or later - and I have two boys. Actually quite a few pink swayers on the TWW thread will probably tell you they conceived their sons with late O. I personally think it's blue friendly. Sending tonnes of blue dust hun and best of luck with your attempt this cycle.

That's great to know thank you! I'm much more calm now:) I'll keep charting everything. Yeah unfortunately me and DH rarely have time to DTD.. So I was trying to get us at the bare minimum on an every 3 day routine while trying to conceive. And then when O comes, bd every day and multiple times a day when possible. But yes I agree I need to DTD more often!! What is SMEP???
Ah that's good hun! I know what you mean, we are swaying girl and so every three or four days is our aim and even at that we were finding it difficult to make the time!
SMEP is the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. When we were ttc #2 I heard of it before we started so when AF finished on CD6 we DTD every other day. I didn't get my +opk until CD21 so we had an attempt on CD21, 22 and 23. It's similar to what you are doing except we were doing every second day throughout our cycle. DH said I better be pg at the end of it cause he was beat!

Yeah I'm going to have to try to do that since O is being stupid..
I'm also frustrated cuz the line was faint on CD 15 then a little darker CD 16, then I test again CD 16 at night and it was fainter again.. It went back and forth ugh.. Hoping it was just because it wasn't a morning test..
If you get a chance to catch up on the Nov testing thread hun I started testing with opks this cycle on CD6. Right from the start it was a fairly solid line, just a little lighter than the control line. Every day it was the same and then around CD12 or so it started to lighten off. Then CD16 AM I tested and it was a little darker, tested again that avo and it was really dark and again that night and it was +opk. Got my solid smiley digi opk the next morning but my surge started the night before. We only caught it cause I was testing 3 times per day - POAS addict here lol. One of the girls on the TWW thread said that you will get a better more accurate reading on your opk if you test closer to the afternoon so I started testing with SMU (second morning urine) and it was way easier to see a progression then. My SMU tests were always darker than FMU ones!
So I tested again this morning.. It's even fainter.. Should DH and I bd every day through CD 21??? In hopes I ovulate and just didn't catch it on OPK??? Temps haven't changed.
Personally I would, just in case you O late. My new motto is: If in doubt hump it out ;) Best of luck Nan :)
Hahah you just made me bust out laughing :) thanks for all the help. I'll keep you posted and head over to the Nov Testig page too! :)
I used to test 3 sometimes 4 times a day!!!!! Oh the shame! Now I test once between 12-1 and ive picked up my positives no problems whereas when I morning tested I never did as the LH doesn't peak until late morning/midday so you don't get an accurate reading xx

Here's my OPKs the last 3 days. Today being CD17. Just so you can all see what I'm dealing with [emoji58]
Were they all taken at the same time? X

And have similar holding times? X

My Ovulation Chart
15 evening, 16 evening, 17 morning
(if I recall correctly...)
Yeah same holding times.
Yes so 17 won't be accurate! Try and pick a time to do them on each day .. Between 10.30 and 2 ish? X

I'll have to bring tests with me! I never home then haha :) that's why it's random times cuz I'm rarely ever home. But I should be able to test this evening again so they're at least accurate with each other.
Oh ok.. Im pretty sure Eve can be dodge too as the surge tails off again after a certain time (can't remember what the time is though!) will look later!

Yeah I just told DH we just need to bd every day till the weekend. Obviously he's not complaining ;) I figure worst case scenario I just don't get pg and have to try again next month.
It's just so frustrating I've been tracking ovulation for 6 months now. Which isn't long.. But for me it's a long time! And I've been Oing CD14/15 every month.. EVERY month.. And now the month we ttc it vanishes.. Ugh..
Hahaha see my DH prefers now we don't do it so often the swine [emoji23][emoji23]
Ugh so annoying that's the thing with charting!! It can become obsessive!! Im sure O is just round the corner [emoji120][emoji120]

I hope you're right! At least then I didn't miss it! I'm worried with how much water I drank think weekend that i diluted my urine enough so I couldn't see a positive opk /: and that I didn't miss it because of that
To be fair you'd still be covered if you did (which I don't think you have) as you BD Cd13 though woukd b quite a girlie attempt! There's no temp spike though!

Will do!! :)
DH came home early yayyy:) so if I did ovulate yesterday maybe I caught the egg today! Or even better, I will ovulate in the next day or two :)
I went ahead and did BSF just cuz I was dry as a bone. So now I'm sitting here with my hips propped up praying I got the egg if I O'd yesterday :p and that I get a blue sticky by the end of all this frustration! :)
Hope this is your month nann3r!!☺... I was do worried about my husband's antisperm antibodies and lo and behold I had a chemical last month! So it's good in a way I know u can get pregnant. Also last month I did terrible on my girl sway so hopefully I do better this month 😊

Yeah I'm not totally confident with my boy sway.. I don't normally do dark meat.. So I switched back to white meats but I've been trying to keep my protein high. I've also been taking robitussin but only once a day. /: but for this attempt I did big O before and big O after. And I was on top. AND it was deep penetration cuz it was pretty uncomfortable in there.. Def cervix action.. (Tmi) [emoji23][emoji23] but I've been keeping my calories as high as possible without gaining weight.. I've mostly maintained. I've been lifting weights too. And only running a mile a day.. So my boy sway is iffy... /: one can only pray at this point !
Do you eat little and often nan?

Wow my habits sound awfully boy friendly lol. I love weights and despise cardio. So I still weight train but I walk alot with the stroller and I have very low muscle mass naturally... like a ectomorph noodle lol. So I hope that will counteract the weight training.

As often as possible! I always start with a large breakfast though. Protein shake and two eggs. So I get about 35-40 grams of protein in before 9:00am. And then a snack between there, little more protein. And then meat for lunch.. Usually white meat though. My macros are usually around 40%carbs 35%protein and 25%fat
That's good!

Oh and my shakes always have 1-2 bananas in them. Just 1-2 frozen bananas, protein powder, green superfood powder and a little bit of cacao powder. So basically protein, potassium, antioxidants and greens! :)
I def like both cardio and weights.. But when I got pregnant with DD I was running 3-6 miles daily give or take. And I was lifting too. But it was low weight high reps. So outside of running throughout the day, my gym routine consisted of running a mile as fast as possible, lifting weights fast- high reps lower weight, then ending on a 30 minute HIIT circuit. And sometimes if DH wasn't done lifting I'd go run another mile or sit on a bike. So I was brining fat like it was my job! And my calories were way too low for the amount of calorie burn. So I always had low blood sugar. Ate a very light girl friendly diet. And vuala- I have a baby girl. Haha even though I thought for sure I would get all boys.
My routine is def cut way back from that. Only run a mile a day, moderate pace. And lift for 30 minutes- slow and heavy. Then end on a circuit still, but it's usually only 10-15 minutes.
I'm a personal trainer so I can't bring myself to cut things out completely. I'll just modify them and reign them in a little!
