My blue sway plan- all advice appreciated!

Thank you tali.kah, I’m glad to hear someone testing with fmu, I was advised to not use flu to test ovulation but Fmu suits me to do before I head to work. I guess a wee test morning afternoon and evening wouldn’t hurt ��

I think atomic would have the best advice on what to do with a night time positive! I think
BD that night and then BD the next morning and night, plus one more BD the next day.

I understand it better now, thank you. I hope one of your attempts were successful �� good luck ! ☘️

It doesn't - this was just my realistic plan and I thought I would write in that if I do have any alcohol it'll just be an occasional red wine. I think no alcohol at all is better.

200 mg coq for DH is fine

50-100 mg arginine is fine (only if he doesn't have herpes or cold sores though as it can make those flare)

Either way on the BD. I will say that many of us with all boys, myself included, do have regular unprotected sex in our infertile periods (so after AF thru a few days before O, and then after O as well) But you need to follow your heart and have the sway that YOU PERSONALLY want to have and will feel good about!

Thanks Atomic!!!
I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs so I'll try and bulk up the lunches with more dairy!

It's just one prenatal- the materna is the multivitamin and contains 1mg folic, the other is strictly a iron pill but it just happens to also contain 0.5mg folic. So in total I'll be at 1.5mg or 1500mcg. Should I throw in a 3rd addition of folic- like a midday pill containing 0.5? So my totals are 2000mcg?

It's so hard to decide on the BD protected or not- in my mind I know the unprotected BD is the way Togo- it just scares me !!!!

No problem! It also depends on your test brand- I used clear blue advanced and with those you only test FMU once a day. The ones I use to test 2 times a day are ordered from amazon- a bunch of bulk cheap OPK sticks! You don't feel bad wasting them. There's many brands on amazon and some only ship to specific countries - just be sure to read the reviews :)

[QcUOTE=atomic sagebrush;952153]night of positive OPK, again the next morning (O Day) and again the following night (O Day)

But this is not set in stone, however it works out it's usually all good

You can, you don't have to, whichever works better for you for the sake of convenience!

It depends on the brand you use. Some are calibrated for FMU. Others are going to give you better results being used after lunch because that is when the hormone in the urine peaks. So testing at the wrong time of day may mean that window of opportunity for your attempt is 12-24 hours narrower than it has to be - let's say you test Monday am and it's negative, then you surge Monday afternoon but you don't test then. Takes you all the way till Tues. to detect that surge!
