HOpefully you’re ovulation is next greydore!! This cycle is very early for me! I don’t temp but I may start doing so if no luck in the next few months, I just worry it’ll make me stress (even more :p)
Noemi I laid for 5-10 mins and got up! Really hope one attempt works it makes me nervous!!
Girlsway I *think* I ovulated just because of my temps and how I feel (always more tired and hungry in the luteal phase). But we are going to continue to BD just in case.

Good luck greydore!!
I definitely ovulated today ever since I started opks the day after my postitive I get a heavy bloated feeling in my uterus it’s so uncomfortable and happens without fail! Does anyone else get ovulation pain? Maybe it’s because I have pcos?
Tp that's definitely lightening. I really hope this is almost over for you. How unfair for it to drag out like this smdh [emoji22]

Good luck and pink dust Noemi! Just to let you know, day of o attempt is not good odds of conception. An attempt the day of pos opk will usually give you a 1 or 2 day before o attempt which is optimal timing :)

Greydore I'm still torn on which cd you actually oed going by your temps, cd16 looks more promising temp wise, cd13 symptom wise [emoji848] time will tell though. Either way you'll be covered xxoo
I posted a short version of my back story the other day? Will find it via my posts and pm it to you :) I'm team green so only 7w3d until I find out [emoji3][emoji3]

Woohoo for ovulation girlswaylondon!! Let the countdown begin [emoji3][emoji3] and yes, once I actually started monitoring my cycle I definately started to notice o pain. However it varied from day before, to o day to 'aftershocks' going by when I was feeling them in relation to temps.

How exciting pbn3!! Do you think baby will come before or after due date? My son was 12 days late (grrr!) was also huge 10lbs!! I worry what the next would weigh as I hear they get bigger!
Greydore posted the link above to my post from a week ago or wahtever it was :)

Ooo wonderful! Nice to know a day! My birthday is January 7th :D
Pbn I feel like I want to chicken out on BD tonight! I'm just worried that if we BD tonight and I get solid smiley tomorrow or Monday, I'll be stressed about when to do that 2nd attempt b/c I don't want it too close to today's, but I don't want to miss O, if by chance it happens too close to my LH surge. I feel like I just can't get this timing stuff right!
You really think we should BD tonight, or wait until solid smiley & then start e3d?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Abc that's fine!! Go with what you are comfortable with xxoo you won't miss out as you'll either get a solid smiley or have your ultrasound before. The reason I think an earlier bd or two well before o is good is not as an attempt (would be too early) but to introduce fresh sperm into your body so your body is more familiar with it and may not try so hard to seek and destroy it ([emoji23]) when you have your actual attempt. Of course though people get pregnant off one hit wonders all the time (myself included) but its a simple way to help improve your body's receptiveness to sperm when you are actually trying. Either that or bding regularly after o to af will help too.

Huh. Interesting I hadn't heard about the sperm thing! Doesn't atomic believe more semen may raise T levels in females though? Although I know she's starting to question whether high T really sways boy anyways, as Clomid raises T and a lot of high T women still get girls.
Ugh - I don't know! I guess we'll make it a game time decision tonight! :) :)
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I don't know about whether she believes it raises t or not? We have discussed though that bding outside fertile window (1-2 times a week) can improve the female body's acceptance of sperm. I do recall her saying bding between af to o can be risky in case of earlier o though. Usually someone who o's from say cd14 onwards regularly is pretty safe dtd cd7, 8 or 9 and someone who generally o's later could stretch that out to cd11.....
If you're wanting an attempt at pos opk then I'd hold off on doing the e3d. E3d is supposed to take the stress out of when to bd not add to it because you stick to every 3rd (every 72 hours) day regardless of opk (most choose not to do opks for this reason). I think you're best holding off bding and seeing what your u/s result brings and your opks. That way you wont be stressing about an early o and where your attempt will be in relation to it :)

Pbn I reallllly hope I did O on CD 16 rather than 13. Would that make sense having a negative OPK on cd 14 and 16 though? Who knows. I just like our attempts better on cd 16, haha. My boys are being crazy right now so I have your link marked to read after they're in bed :)
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
Greydore I wonder how cd15's opk would have looked [emoji848] one of those we'll never know at this stage though. In the plus side you oed, you had attempts in either way and now we wait..... [emoji937][emoji352][emoji102]

Ok we ended up BD-ing this afternoon LOL!!! I gave myself a compromise - we were going to BD late tonight (we have people coming over this evening so it would have had to be late!), so I decided let's just sneak one in this afternoon so that if we need to get another attempt in within the next couple of days b/c of an earlier +opk, at least there are going to be more hours separating the two attempts!! We'll have to see now what happens w/ my OPKs, which I'll still do since I know I'll get a positive at some point. I still think it'll probably be Monday or Tuesday (CD12 or 13), since my body is pretty consistent w/ the OPKs. I've read most women don't ovulate until 7-10 days after finishing Clomid, and that you typically ovulate later on Clomid than usual (which I think may have happened in my last cycle), and I take awhile to ovulate after +opk, so I would pretty surprised if it happens before CD14. I'm just going to base our next attempt now on +OPK and/or the Tuesday ultrasound. After we have the 2nd attempt, we'll just continue to BD every 3 days or so until O is confirmed. I feel I will be ok if worst case we end up w/ 2 attempts in my fertile window that are separated by a 60-72 hour period, since really *most* sperm are not going to survive longer than that anyways.
So we have a plan :) Sort of. :cheer:
That sounds absolutely perfect Abc!!! Yay for daytime bd and there's nothing like the feeling of having a plan in place hey!! Puts a spring in your step [emoji3]

Hi ladies!
Mommy, cute pic!! So glad to hear everything is good.
Good luck everyone with their attempts and hope the tww goes quickly for those already in it.
Sounds like a good plan ABC! Fx for you.
Hi dreaming and welcome [emoji112]
I've finally started cd 1 again today after spending a fortune in tests and getting more and more disheartened every day. Not sure if I did ovulate but thinking not as this af is much lighter than usual. So on to next cycle. It seems like I've been trying forever now and I'm wondering if that's a sign we shouldn't go ahead. Or maybe it just won't happen anyway. Ha gosh I'm feeling sorry for myself lol!!

Thanks mummy! I know it'll happen when you least expect it!

Mummy I did the same last cycle! I spent sooo much money on tests, when I just happened to ovulate later than usual and totally missed my fertile window. This month I'm not really sure what dpo I am, maybe 5 or maybe 2. I'm much less anxious and I'm finding the time going much faster, and I'm not itching to test so I won't spend nearly as much money. It will happen for you! [emoji4]
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
Hi Dreaming! Do you know what dpo you are? I'm somewhere in the first week, so still awhile before I can test.

Took me a while to find it. Still navigating this site. Thanks for telling me about this page [emoji4]Quote:

Mummy2boys as awful as cd1 os I'm so glad you're not in limbo anymore. That was one weird a*se cycle you had.....
Really hoping this cycle is uneventful for you [emoji173] are you going to use opks or just bd every few days? You may be at that stage now you need that extra attempt at pos opk if you're willing to try e4d (so three full days between) plus extra attempt at pos opk or try your very best to stick to e3d (so two full days in between) whichever you think will be more achievable for you. How is dh? Has he recovered fully from his neck/back surgery?

14dpo [emoji50][emoji50][emoji50]!!! Only if you're super controlled!!! For sure that would be the sensible and smart thing to do [emoji23] but I think 10dpo is a good place to start if using a sensitive test like frer (preferably) or wondfo and you're itching to test. If you can hold out till 12dpo then that's a more accurate time to start. I was a total poas addict and would ridiculously start far too early....

That sounds better greydore, I've been like a manic testing crazy person for the last five days and it was all a waste, as like you, I think I missed when I O'd or I didn't at all [emoji85]Hope the next week goes quickly for you. I would like to say I won't get crazy again but I probably will lol
Thanks for remembering about DH and his back
Pbn. He's still in pain but back at work and managing ok. I think I'm just going to aim at being more laid back this time. My DH is still not 100% up for it so I'll just be going along with what he wants ( which is usually pretty often..) I will start doing opks again, hopefully nothing too eventful will happen and throw everything off again this month! Fingers crossed anyway

Pretty sure I got my bfp at 10dpo. Lol because according to my ultrasound measurement I ovulated cd 16

Mummy do you have 28 day cycle? Mine are 31 days and I don’t ovuLate till cycle day 18-20! You can imagine the tests wasted when i started testing 10dpo! Haha
Haha yeah way too many tests I bet! My ovulation is all over the place! Sometimes day 11 and sometimes 20, and I can be known to test 2 times a day so you can imagine how many tests [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

This was my before bed test yesterday :think:
Woke up this morning from nipples hurting so bad. Waiting on FMU results, but all of my tests have been darker later in the day?
Temps aren't giving many clues either (steadily went down, then went back up; all have been higher than my normal pre-O BBT, but also circling around what my coverline would have been.
How do yours look after your surge? Is it a gradual fade out or is it sudden?Quote:
