I'm completely over analyzing when to DTD!

:agree: that is the issue and this is one thing that differentiates the pink swayers from the blue - many of us who have lots of boys have hubbies who can "bang it out" so to speak for days on end, even 2x a day. But the blue swayers' husbands (not all, but a significant %) husbands aren't able to do it quite that much and hence I think it is safest to stick to every other day or even every 2-4 days, and then have him be able to manage the 3-5 attempts at or around the positive OPK when it counts the most.

It's a relief isn't it :) at least now when you get that positive you know you've got the best attempts in :)

Atomic I know I should know this but which pattern would give 5 attempts from +opk?
We already have two I think?

Yes! Wondering this as well. TrueBlue, it looks like we're pretty close together on this cycle!

You would have to start attempting at fade in and not wait till OPK goes totally positive (unless your husband is a sex machine LOL) OR you can rely on having a fairly regular cycle.

So if you know you are a couple days before O and/or are getting a very dark fade in, you'd have attempt either:

Night of O-3, night of O-2, then O-1, the next morning, and again the next night

OR

Night of O-2, next morning, night of O-1 (pos OPK day), the next morning, and then again that night.

OR change it up however you want - the 5 attempts has to be at OR AROUND positive OPK, whereas the 3 attempts is really at positive OPK, if that helps

And you can of course count your EOD attempts for part of the 5 so if you've already had attempts O-4 and O-2, those really do count, then you can still do the 3 attempts at pos OPK and be in with 5.

Great, thank you :)

Blah, I think I screwed up this cycle! I was only able to get in O-5 O-3 O-1 and O. Do you think that was enough? I couldn't get in anymore attempts!

I think so! That's for sure 3 attempts!
