But it can be longer I guess too. How bad is 7 days abstinence before my one attempt? I also wouldn't J&D because he is on antidepressants too and if it causes a huge decrease I didn't want to lose chances of pg. WwYD? (Ttc girl)
[emoji848] no idea how to do this one attempt. It can become positive any day. So I want to just stop until the positive. But I don't want bad and deformed sperm. I want to get pg. Any tips?

Hi I think this a good question for atomic. I did just read that right now 2 attempts vs 1 has recently been very similar (like 68 to 69 percent girl), so maybe worth asking atomic? I would probably DTD before now and Sunday but that’s just me! Ask a pro!❤️Quote:

If I get af on Tuesday, Wednesday I O. I know it makes no sense, but looking back many cycles it's the same... so I figured it would be next Tuesday that I O, but what if I'm wrong. Really I want to just decide something and stick with it. If I don't get a response, I will dtd Thursday. And if I O early, i will figure it out then. Cuz last thing I want to do is stress about it.Quote:

Hi pbn
I've been busy and away from the whole ttc and tracking for a few weeks. I'm not temping this cycle and have gone easy on the diet and exercise. It's been helping me stay relaxed and sleep better :)
So anyway I took a random opk test the first time this cycle and it turned out to be my blazing positive on CD -16 which is today. I usually ovulate on 21, but recently included whole dairy and eggs as per atomic and I guess now I'm likely to ovulate tomorrow.
So the question is to BD tonight or tonight and tomorrow? What are the results with 2 attempts? I just really hope I get pregnant soon.
Hope all is well with you.

Mom25boys did you start a thread for atomic? FX you get it sorted!
Heartdesires, atomic just wrote this on another thread: "2 attempts has been barely worse than one attempt of late (I think it's 68 vs. 69% now) " so sounds super close!
AAAAA OK NONONONO out of contextQuote:

THEN go to e4d and do that for 1-2 months. (and if you don't want to do a classic e4d that starts right after AF ends, right away, that's fine, do one attempt at pos OPK and then e4d the rest of the month)
Then go to e4d plus one. Do that another 1-2 months or even longer (because you WILL get pregnant that way eventually)
And if you can't stand to stick with e4d plus one, you can go to SMEP eventually.
I DO NOT WANT anyone to go "hmm 68% that's the same as 69% so I'll just do 2 attempts to start with." Because we know based on historic results that 2 attempts has been lower than one attempt.
BUT NOR do I want people to go on and on for a thousand months doing one attempt when it is time for them to go to e4d. We can tell based on 68% vs. 69% that two attempts PLUS an otherwise good sway simply cannot be a dealbreaker. That is my point of mentioning those statistics. After 1-2-3 months with one attempt, you MUST go to e4d and the odds ahve been acceptible that way, but that doesn't mean that I now think two attempts is just as good as one to start out with. Remember that the statistics of people who are doing 2 attempts are those who have been on diet/exercise longer and who have possibly lower fertility - both of these things may sway pink and skew results to make 2 attempts look more successful than it would be for someone who is just starting off with swaying!
People who have tried one attempt and have not gotten pregnant please go to e4d and then e4d plus one. The results have shown taht it is not a dealbreaker. But also, ladies, please start off with one attempt and give that a good try before you go to e4d. :)
How long have you been TTC??Quote:

And ladies, a reminder, I cannot keep up on these support threads. I just happened to see this come in. I am happy to answer any questions but I need you guys to start dedicated threads in the forums. Please don't worry about bothering me because in the long run it bothers me a lot more if 20 people have a misunderstanding and then I hve to chase down that misinformation in every thread it gets posted in.
This stuff is SUPER complicated and totally easy for things to be misunderstood and read without a context of the original thread. I'm here to answer your questions so please hit me up!
There are always bad and deformed sperm.Quote:

Hi all. I'm sorry I've been absent but things are really busy at the moment. Been a few changes going on and I just don't seem to have the time to be as regular on here as previously. So I'm taking this as a sign that it's time to take a step back. I will definately pop in from time to time to check the ddg's and can always be contacted via pm if needed [emoji173]

Thanks atomic! I feel awful for misleading [emoji30] I was trying to help in the quiet void of this thread lol. *hangs head in shame*
PBN lots of love- hope you’re doing okay.

No please don't apologize, there are these tiny details that seem really minor and esoteric and are so easily missed but I only know about them because I live and breathe gender swaying 24-7 LOL. I always very very much appreciate anyone who chimes in to answer a question, it's just that I can't always spot every question in these threads so I really like it when everyone who needs to know something starts a thread that I will see. :) I'm actually terribly sorry I could have worded all that much better than I did.Quote:

How’s everyone going? Where are you up to? Anyone in 2ww?
After the crazy cycle of last month , My AF arrived on Wednesday with a vengeance! So went and saw my specialist today who’s started me on Femara, had whole heap of bloods done, and go back in a week for an U/S and the possibility of a trigger shot. [emoji33]
So now I’m toying with the idea of giving up temps for month [emoji6]🤣
Good luck! Have you been on Femara before?Quote:

We had 2 failed sways which resulted in a miscarriage & DS3 who I just love to bits despite being very sad throughout his pregnancy after the miscarriage & experiencing some GD along the way. I was/am still keen on another baby & have been slowly getting hubby on board - he hasnt said yes but he isnt saying no quite so vigourously either. DS1 has autism & DS3 is also showing some early signs so having a girl is definitely the key to reducing our risk any further. I have even been talking to fertility clinics about the possibility of IVF next year.
Our risk of pregnancy is low but I am having those oh so familiar symptoms. I havent been brave enough to tell hubby yet. Im freaking out at the thought of having 2 kids 18months apart.
My period still hasnt returned yet, Im still breastfeeding a lot day & night & hubby didnt finish & withdrew so I know the risk of pregnancy is so very very low but I cant help this very familiar feeling. tomorrow will be 12 days since we BD so I am going to pee on a stick & hope for the best.
:nails:
I posted for atomic but in case she doesn't have time today, I was wondering what you women know about antihistamines and J&D. Are they still recommended and how each are done. Times and amounts. I want to do it right to the best of my abilities. Thanks :)
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Also, do you continue diet and exercise in the 2ww? Any changes?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Antihistamines have not seemed to add anything to our success rate and cut odds of conception. I sometimes have people start off with them but are among the first things we dropQuote:

Hi ladies
I think I'm officially in the 2ww... . I'm not temping this cycle. I decided not to do opks either and stick to relatively stress free E4D. But interestingly the two strategies coincided.
We BDed last Sat and next scheduled BD was Wed. I randomly took my first opk test on Wed (CD 16) afternoon and it was a blazing pos with wondfo and CB. So we BDed as planned. Opk turned negative the next day and FF says I ovulated on CD 17. I'm only 1 dpo now. Since I ditched opks, a strange tranquil has set over me. I'm not obsessed with TTC material, I'm more relaxed, I check in here only once in 2 days, and I have no 2ww expectations about pregnant vs not pregnant at this point.
Good luck and baby dust to all. I'm rooting for all you girls here. Fx, and wish you all happiness and good health!!!

Well today is cd26 and finally got my +opk! We did hurry up fr as our last bd was Monday and we were going for e7d initially. The diet is getting increasingly hard to stay with and so I am not wanting to be doing it much longer! We had our attempt and tomorrow I should O! Hope my toddler let's me sleep thru tonight and tomorrow night so I can have an accurate reading! He's been getting up around 2 or am lately.
HDP looks like I am 3 days behind you! Since I should O tomorrow and Sunday would be 1dpo. GL! Hope we both get our pink bundles from this cycle!
Good luck fx fix 🤞🤞🤞Quote:

I’m definitely disappointed, but now I just want AF so we can try again [emoji5] I’ve definitely had more emotions since this was my first TTC cycle after D&C in July, so I’m hoping next cycle is more chill, lol.
