That's a beauty dreaming!!! Can't wait to hear your numbers!!!
My Ovulation Chart
maxim: fx! i will update once i take the test around 1pm today. And it is not crazy to go back to newborn stage. It will be harder a bit, but it is all worth it. Don't let the negativity get to you. Just imagine all the joy when your 3rd is here and btw, your DD's drawing is so adorable.
Skyblue, Dreaming: I am in Cali at well! woohoo Cali babies.
skyblue: what did you mean by dtd 3 nights in a row is not good for the sway? Why is it so? We are planning to do that lol
Shinay - I m scared to have unprotected BD before pos opk because A part of me is still hung up that it may sway pink which is not what everyone believes here and eod BD after af has really worked for blue swayers here. It's just me being crazy. So what I meant was that since I won't have any attempts before pos opk and then bding every night may not be good incase I O the day after pos opk because that will leave me with just one attempt in the fertile window. Does that make sense? Or Have I confused u more?Quote:

@xxforhubby do you mind giving your opinion on bd frequency and timing for blue swayers? If dtd eod from say cd8 - cd18 (more or less based on confirmation of o) is easier and more likely achievable than 3 attempts at pos opk would you recommend it? I know eod sways strongly blue but would be nice to have someone else's opinion.
Lola I have woken up at 3.30am after still being awake at 10pm last night :( going to be a loooong day... it's about 5.5 hours until I get the blood draw and probably 12 hours till result.
Yay shinay!!! Fx fx fx for pos opk! Keep us updated!!!
Sky please don't stress anymore about bding ❤ go with your gut which is telling you 3 attempts at pos opk and protected bd until then. Remember your sway your way 💙 Try not to get so hung up on bd frequency and timing. The
biggest sway factor is the diet, but I totally get wanting to get everything right - it's such a boy mum trait 😂😂
Gorgeous lines dreaming!!! 😍😍
Can't wait for your beta update 😀
Awwww maxim your dd's drawing is gorgeous!! 😍 Don't worry about discarding temps or anything, just keep in mind (especially when testing early) that you may be a day behind what you think you are :)
Yay kat for bd plan!! I'm hoping for xxforhubby's input on this as well. If your not temping to verify o make sure you bd eod at least twice after pos opk and you should be covered :)
@cosmosis hi and thank you for checking in on me 😀 here is my test I caved and did yesterday 😂

I totally can relate. But I agree with Pbn. Don't get so hung up on the BD patterns too much. I got so freaked out thinking about unprotected sex before pos opk as well. i always thought/planned to have one attempt at pos opk or the day after, but after finding GD, my perspective is different. It makes sense to me that more attempts around O means more boy sperms inside. Also, more bd helps increase ph and cm which also help blue swayers. Along with our diet and some other factors to help, i hope we both will get our blue bundles!Quote:

Be all good. I have a feeling. I just wish the hours go by fast now.

Good to hear sky :) can't wait for your 2ww I too have a feeling about this cycle for you 😀

Going to try and get back to sleep 😂😂 (wishful thinking but I'll give it a go) its 4.30am so another 2 hours till the boys get up.....

Pbn3- Hmmm. The problem with most blue swayers and attempts seem to stem from their DH's not being able to get the 3 attempts in at positive opk. Given that, I don't think it's feasible to have those same couples do EOD from CD8-CD18. Sure that may only be 5 attempts, but they are most likely to have a DH fizzle out well before ovulation occurs. What I think would be the best of both worlds is to start EOD at an almost positive opk and continue as long as the DH can. This will most likely cover them with at least 2 viable attempts around O time by the time their DH fizzles out. We boy making mamas have to remember that blue swayers' DH's can't handle frequent sex and get performance anxiety when they reach "go" time. It's different for them because us pink swayers can always fudge it when our go time is for our DH's but blue swayers don't have that luxury. This is all contingent though on blue swayers using some sort of IC for opks. The CB advanced don't seem to reliably capture an almost positive for my liking.
Sorry for the long post!!

Just in case eod for 4-5 bd's is very possible for someone?

I would say it depends on the age of the DH. I don't know if it would necessarily be better than 3 attempts at positive opk but it does seem like a viable option for those that just simply haven't been able to do it, otherwise. I still think it would be best to start at an almost positive opk though- how many times have we seen blue and pink swayers ovulation day get wonky? By starting at an almost positive opk, there is a greater chance for them to get at least 2 viable attempts in.

Thank you xxforhubby ❤
Hope this helps blue swayers 💙

Blue swayers this is a link to a thread I created asking about 3 attempts v eod and reading it again now it makes perfect sense what Atomic is saying. For some reason I have it in my head that eod is more achievable than 3 attempts but that is only my opinion and what I believe me and dh could do (3 attempts at pos opk would not be an option,we are fossils 😂😂) As xxforhubby has pointed out and Atomic in this thread its actually a minority of blue swayers that can achieve eod. So my apologies for seeming to 'push' eod, it really is an individual decision on what works best for you but on a general scale it appears that 3 attempts at pos opk is most successful in achieving. Hope I haven't caused too much confusion xxoo
The bd question again....

And to add, as a mom of boys, I can tell you boy swayers that dtd often makes boys. So go get it done as soon as your OPK is borderline positive and don't stop until it's negative again! Mostly, have fun! :bluecheer:
I couldn't agree more with this! I mean, my DH could easily do both options, haha! Most blue swayers don't have this luxury. I do think 3 attempts at positive opk is the most feasible for blue swayers. Let's face it- one of those attempts most likely will not happen, and they will be left with 2. This is much better than 1. A minority could manage EOD, but I think most would find it daunting.

So I tested at 11am with opk and it was negative, just a barely there line. Just done another now and it is quite dark. Do you think I might miss my surge in the night?! Should I bd now? Eek don't know what to do.

Also what time did you do second test?

mummy2boys: what time is your most recent test? and can you post a pic?
Time for me to go test. Fx for pos opk. Wish me luck!!!
It was at 8.30pm. I've never uploaded a photo so not sure how but will try now..
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8
Good luck shinay!!
Mummy2boys pending photo I wouldn't be worried about missing your surge tonight. If your opk is pretty dark but not quite positive then you may get a pos tomorrow. Waiting to see pic to confirm but don't bd yet!! Stick to your e4d plan until you get a pos opk

Fingers crossed shinay!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8
Yep that worked. That's the control line closest to the green right? I would say your at least 2-3 days away from pos opk at a guess..... you may get a sudden surge tomorrow though but for now that definately is not positive so keep following e4d :)

Great, thanks pbn3! Will stick to plan, we bd on cd 10 so will do it again cd14
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8
You'll probably have a pos opk cd14 so it may work out perfect for one attempt 😀 as in you won't have to decide whether to add an attempt or not lol as your pos opk would fall on scheduled bd day! Fx this is so!!!

Shinay how did it go!!!??? [emoji102] [emoji102]

What time is it shinay where you are?

Pbn: It is 1pm where i am. Drank very little water this morning and hold since 9am.
This is so discouraging. Maybe i will get the advanced one next time. At least the flashing smile could give me some hope.
Big hugs shinay!! Hang in there you are so close!!! What cd are you on? If you have a link to your chart I cant see it on Tapatalk :(
The digi is getting closer to the dip test. I bet you get a solid smiley either tomorrow or the next day at your 1pm test. Try and keep busy today and before you know it it'll be 1pm tomorrow and fx 'go time' tomorrow night 😀 You are almost there!!!!!

Did you bd last night?

Yes we did. I tried to add the link to my signature. Lets see if it works.
It is just that it has been so long this cycle. It is cd 21 already. I will try to focus on work so i dont keep thinking about this.
Hmmm still can't see the link, maybe you could post the link every few days so I can see it that way? I can hear how bummed and frustrated you are [emoji17] hugs again and good idea to focus on work. And have the belief that you'll be in the 2ww by weeks end! I know you've come a long way this cycle but you are so close to the finish line! Chin up and here's some four leaf clovers for luck for pos opk tomorrow [emoji256] [emoji256] [emoji256] [emoji256] with the luck of the Irish (well half Irish in my case 😂) you can't go wrong!! And remember if it isn't positive tomorrow then don't despair because it will be the next day! I just know it!!!!

Hope it comes soon Shinay, like you say, try to keep busy and keep your mind off it. What day do you usually o?
