I'm so sorry Grace [emoji22]! BDing every 4 days didn't cut it for me either. I would switch to every 3 days. Big hugs [emoji8]

Sorry Grace! AF stinks. Mine is on her way soon :(. Maybe you can try a little preseed or conceive plus, it may help.
I'm 12 dpo and temp dropped this morning. Still above coverline but still... I'm starting to lose hope too.
My timing was O -3 and O day.

The pt I have say they can be taken 4 days before period is due (15dpo) i think i ovulated on cd 15 . I am due on on Monday does this mean the earliest I can test is Thursday?
Yeah. Check the box and see if there is a percentage on how accurate it is 4 days before AF. I wouldn't take it that early if the percentage is 90% or lower.
FX and [emoji120]for you!!

I'm 12 dpo... For some silly reason I took a test. BFN at 12 dpo [emoji25][emoji22]

Probably too early sunbuny. For some crazy reason I tested today at 8dpo.lol. bfn
I usually spot by dpo 12 but nothing so far today... I think I'm clutching at straws because I just want it to happen. My body isn't like clockwork even before I started swaying so I should just wait till at least 15 dpo before testing ( if AF doesn't arrive by then). Fx for both of us Eleena and everybody else still waiting xxx baby dust to us all!!!!

Sunbuny I hope you are just too early and your BFP is still coming!
I'm still sick with a cold so I'm not sure if I can trust my high temps but it is still too early to think anything anyway as I am only 4DPO according to FF.
Xx, how are you feeling? Did you have any unusual symptoms in the 2ww this time?
FX for those testing soon!
All that talk about cm and checking cp, and my tactic this time is "I don't care". I might not even use opks. I'm just enjoying sparkle week and fun with dh, no worries or wishes, just trying to enjoy life.
I'm feeling pretty good- nausea, diarrhea instead of puking [emoji12], increased thirst, and pretty wiped towards the end of the day.
Two nights before I tested, I noticed my hair wasn't shedding like it usually does (I normally have 1/4 handful since I wash my hair every other day- curly hair). This happened with both of my boys. I thought this is odd!
Then the next day I was SUPER forgetful, and I remember everything! I was also more thirsty than usual. The next morning- BFP.
FX and [emoji120]everyone gets their BFP!

Hi ladies!
I hope everyone gets their BFP!
Junie we are cycle buddies. I'm 5dpo.
Last month we bd with one attempt 1 days day before positive opk and we got a BFN.
This month we bd closer to ovulation ( 8 hours after positive opk). I have a feeling the one attempt might not work for us either and have to maybe do every 4 days or even 3 days
As far as symptoms. I have some weird ovulation like pains here and there but it could just be gas. I think I'm reading into it to much.

Hi everyone,
Good luck everyone!!!
Maiden-did you get any results back?
Junie & healthy girl-FX you caught the egg
XX-told you it was implantation tiredness [emoji4] hehe
sunbuny-praying for two pink lines
I started spotting today so I assume tomorrow will be CD1. Going to schedule my baseline scan for Friday. Just bought a BBT since I've never gotten a +OPK. I'm contemplating going to the every 4 day method as well

Sounds like a good plan! I'm glad I temped the cycle I got my BfP- I never got a positive opk, which is unusual for me!
I would do 1 maybe 2 cycles of BDing every 4 days from the end of AF through confirmed temp rise and then maybe switch to every 3 days.
How many cycles have you been ttcing?
FX and [emoji120]for you!!!

XX-I'm am soooo happy for you but a lil sad we aren't cycle buddies anymore[emoji17], but, I will enjoy reading about your journey!
This will be month 3 for us. I know that isn't a long time but thinking the every 4 day is better for my "Martha" issues. I was talking to my cousin yesterday. She's expecting a boy after two girls. Was telling her all about the sway tactics and she is a walking example of them working! (Of course, she didn't realize it until I explained it to her). She was giving me tips about eating vegetarian and our local restaurants that have good menus..she kinda gave me a good push to keep going (if that makes sense)

I would definitely do every four days, then. It is way less stressful, and DH's like frequent BDing [emoji6]!

If i ovulated last Tuesday night which I think i did, does that make me 9dpo today or tonight or would it not matter? Did another sensitive 10miu test and bfn again. Hoping it's too early. But it say you can test 4 days before your period is due. I'm due on Monday so today would make it four days before. But if I didn't ovulate till cd 15 late in the day it might be too early wouldn't it?
eleena2014- 9DPO is almost always too early to get a positive test
I had a huge temp drop today after having a fever last night (which thankfully also broke in the night). I've never had a temp drop like this, so I'm interested to see what my temps do tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that I have O'd going by OPKs, and CM.
FX for you Eleena and Junie!!!

I'm pretty sure I'm out... 14 dpo today and big temp drop this morning [emoji17] still waiting on a sign of AF though. And 2 BFN. Could you girls take a look at my chart and give me your thoughts... Attachment 24461

Sunbunny-I'm Soo sorry! That temp drop does look disheartening. Praying that it's wrong and you get a BFP

Question about frequency. Would the every 4 day schedule kill two birds with one stone so to speak? I know atomic is moving away from frequency but it's something I would like to "check off" on my sway. So, it would establish frequency and also one attempt
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Go for it! It didn't work for me- I had to do every 3 days. We started BDing much earlier and continued well after my temp rise.
I would try it and switch to every 3 days if it doesn't work out. I'm glad we did, because I couldn't get a positive opk either, and I usually do!
FX and GL!

I know... So disheartening [emoji17] I did 3 days this time around. I fell the first month of ttc with both my boys but I was pretty healthy and unintentionally swayed boy looking back. I don't want to go back there and repeat the same things so next month will do as xx recommends.. Each 3 days early on and way past temp rise.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If opks worked for me I would definitely try the one attempt at positive opk because with every 4 days you could end up being ovulation less 4 days which does decrease your chances of conceiving. What have you tried so far? How many months have you been ttc?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
XX can you tell us starting what day of cycle did you do the bd and what other days did you continue?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
We BD CD3 (very light flow- spotting), CD5, CD8 (still no pos opk) CD11, CD13, and CD17.
I either ovulated CD10 (1 attempt in fertile window), or CD12 (2 attempts in fertile window). As dark as all my tests were, I believe I Oed on CD10.
My fertility was $h!t- I had FSH of 45 in November! I was doing acupuncture and adding Yoga on top of my cardio to improve fertility and mental well being. I was on a version of LE diet for 1 year, always did the exercise, lost 18 lbs, and weaned DS2 the cycle before we conceived. Not to mention I was sleep deprived 80% of the time! In a nutshell, my maternal condition was $h!t!
This really is a miracle that required divine intervention/persistence!
Don't ever give up! Keep reworking! Learn to let go, let be. I never thought it would happen and I had finally accepted that. Total opposite from how I have been my entire life.
FX, GL, and [emoji120]for all of you!

10 dpo bfn again. This is so disheartening. Thought we had the timing ok this month to actually get pregnant 😞
I'm only giving it till May then will start trying again in august as I don't wanna be newly pregnant during the 6 week school holidays feeling all yucky and not being able to do anything with the kids
I don't know how much longer I'll last. Are you also doing exercise?
I commend you XX for the amount of time you stuck with it. Good on you!

Oh my god sunbuny. Huge congrats. I'm jelous!!!! Lol x
P.s no I'm not doing exercise
When did u last test that it came up negative?
I'm not sure I believe it. I had a major temp drop this morning but that's a strong positive after 3 mins. I tested 2 other days using IC and had not even a small line. I really hope this is it.. Fx

Still gives me a bit of hope I suppouse ☺
So glad you're sharing this moment with me Eleena.. [emoji4] I'm crossing everything for you
