How do i attempt cut off and O+12 in the same cycle?

Ive been on the diet about 2 months. See the crazy thing is after I got my IUD out last year I started having a ton of EWCM around O, I had never done that before.....and then about 1 monthe before I started all the supplements and diet it stopped! I didnt have hardly any, none noticeable at all when I went to bathroom or on panty liners. And then now all of a sudden this month Im having more! Very confusing!! Ive been taking 12,000 mg of the cranberry and all I drink is CL! I have been taking the Zyrtec and then last night I realized I had some childrens Sudafed so I popped a dose of that too!! LOL And this morning I dont seem to have as much FX!! BUT after I took the Sudafed I realized youre not supposed to take the Sudafed PE, because it may sway boy! EEK!! Oh well I was a weak childrens dose and only once so maybe it will be out of my system! I just went and bought more Zyrtec, and since Im so close to my attempt I figured it cant hurt to take 1 in am and 1 at night for a couple of days!

So may I ask, how did you determine when your 2 day cutoff was?? Do you O pretty much the same day every month or were you watching the fade in your OPKs?

My cycles have always been irregular ever since i started my period but for some reason the past 3 cycles have all been the same. I usually get a fade in with my opks so what i do is use the internet cheapie ones till the line is nearly as dark as the test line and then start using the didital ones, as soon as i get a positive on my digis i stop bd. That has given me roughly a 2 day cut off with each cycle. Next time though as im going for abstinence i will have to hold out till i get a positive on my digi then bd stright away and should end up with a 1.5 day cut off

I think I would be happy with a 1.5 day cutoff. Im scared about it being over 2 days, so if its a little closer that is fine with me!! Yes I also bought some cheap O predictors because they didnt have the dig ones I usually buy. So im just using the cheaper ones with my CBFM and watching both of them to fade! I havent seen anything so far and im on my 4th Hi day on my CBFM! Maybe Ill see a fade in todays OPK's! Yesterday was 7 days of abstinance so I hope thats enough. My husband doesnt seem to usually make a lot of semen (sorry TMI) anyway unless its been a few weeks! Its going to kill me not to test 50x during the 2ww!!! But I dont want to know too early because then it seems to make the beginning of the preg seem longer!! Lol I think Im going to try my best to wait until I have missed my period!

Thats a really good idea hunny!! Ive been testing since 5 dpo lol but not going to test tommorow and try not to test sunday, af should be due wednesday next week so fingers crossed!! Had loads of sharp shooting pains which i dont normally get, hope im not looking into it to much!
7 days of abstinance sounds great, anything over that sways girl! My dh dosent seem to make much either, sometimes i dont even see any tmi but i know its there lol.
Please keep me posted, let me know how your attempt goes and when u decied to bd
lots of luck for this cycle

I think you've gotten some great advice! That is just what I would do, abstain to cutoff and then switch to frequent release 2X a day (once a day is NOT ENOUGH) and then hit O+12. you may want to have him release in the morning of your attempt, dump it, then DTD again whenever O+12 comes around. Good luck!!!!

Thanks atomic, think im really going to struggle with the twice a day release though, dh just dosent like helping himself that much. I really would like to do a cut off and O+12 in same cycle but realistically dont see how i can. May just have to try O+12 with abstinence.

It will only be for a few days though...you could also DTD with a condom 2x a day during those days.

yeah thats a good idea, didnt really think about it properley, if i do a 2 day cut off then it will only be 2 days he has to do that

Well hopefully wont need to worry about timing issues for next month as just got a BFP 9 DPO!!!
