Ouch 😣 so are you going for more than one attempt at pos opk? I *think you mentioned something about aiming for night of pos opk and following morning? Also I want to give you a heads up that you *may* experience more than one day of pos opks but we always treat the first positive as 'the' positive opk. A pos opk is when the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line. The next day you *may* experience a blaring pos (so test line much darker than control) but you also may o soon after.... general rule of thumb is you should o 12-48 hours after 'first positive' :) clear as mud? 😉 just wanted to pre warn you so if it does happen (very well may not) you're prepared and understand why :)

I will do an opk tomorrow. Would I have missed it though doing it at 1pm? Once I have a positive I won't test anymore. But will share a photo so I'm 100% sure
We will bd the night of positive then the next morning and then that night. So once I get a positive I should o 12-48 hrs after

Yep spot on! 12-48 hours after pos opk and that's a great idea to stop testing as those attempts will cover you very nicely whether you o the day after or second day after first positive. Plus we will see your shift in temp to confirm :) Stick to testing between 1-2pm. Go straight to the middle and test at 1.30pm if you like (that's something I'd do 😂)

Awesome thank you so much.
I usually end up testing between 1-1:30 all depends on how long I can hold my bladder for especially if I haven't had a lot of water.
I know I have probably read it but can't remember, trying for a boy are we also meant to have glucose? This is something I don't have a lot of in my diet.

Lola - Thanks. New car will come once the old one is picked up tomorrow :bluecheer: 8 seater here we come!
XX - Wow so close now :) Cannot wait to see a photo and hear your birth story.
TTCblue - So gorgeous! How lovely that you got a sleep in.
Mommy - So sorry this wasn't your month. Next one will be for sure!!! Thanks for your support. I'll be here to support you.
LMSM - Yay! Crosshairs! TWW!!!! Symptom spotting here you come ;) How did you go shopping?
Gorgeous photo of your girls. A cold is a good sign!!!!
Shann - Thanks for popping back in! Sorry to hear about the MS. So did you have another boy confirmed? Through bloods or scan?:hug2: xo
Pbn3 - Hope the 'date' went well. I went to the one primary and secondary school and still catch up with heaps of my friends - it's fabulous. Like you, hoping our children can do the same. Sounds like you need an early night lovely.
Sky - Thank you!!!! Super excited. Hope you had a good time xo Missed you!
Lola - Thank you! Wish I could say my sway was as good as yours though. Did you go back through and remember? Or write it early and post it later?
Halley - Those new OPKs look much better. I've only ever used cheapie ones on ebay and they're always worked. Hope your daughter is feeling better soon too
AFM - So exhausted! Spent the day at school rearranging my classroom...I had help, but I'm still stuffed. Going for a blood test tomorrow and will do another on Tuesday. Then off to see my Ob on Thursday at 3:00pm.
I thought my test line for 12dpo looked dark but I went back and found one from the same day from DS2, will post now

Halley sorry but I have no idea about the 'glucose' for swaying blue?
@LMSM do you know anything about this? Any other blue swayers or xxforhubby, can you advise?
Iwant4kids those lines sure are impressive 😀 cannot wait to hear your numbers to find out if we have reason to tease you about 👭 or 👫 😄 although high hcg levels don't always mean multiples lol! I remember xxforhubby had really really high levels for ds2? I think it was! That wont stop us teasing though 😉 Will you join the ddg after your bw results?
Hey I think you asked earlier about whether I swayed? I didn't sway and only actually did sway (properly) in 2015. The next year was on and off LE diet but more attempts as I was just trying to get pregnant :) I posted a sway which I specified was a non-sway as I felt I had quite a few unintentional pink sway tactics. It helps overall to see whether some things do or don't make a difference I guess? :)

I *think* the glucose thing is to help boy embryos, which tend to be more frail...when doing ivf, embryos are in a pétri dish with glucose as they go through that early cell division, before transfer into the woman's womb.Quote:

I know I used that as an excuse to myself to treat me and'the girls to share a piece of rich chocolate cake with babycinnos for them when we were out this am :rofl:
Yay for the bw,that will give you some peace of mind hopefully !!! Lines are beautiful so no doubt things are progressing well :) can't wait to hear about your first betas! Will Tour doc be able to get results back then or will you have to wait until Monday?Quote:

Speaking of cold, don't think it's a sign alas..hubs has the croaky ish voice/ dry itchy throat too.
Can't wait for the am temp now to see what is up! :D
Thank you. I wonder if I can pull that one off with hubby lol. I have already put weight on eating more and things I normally don't eat so after Wednesday I am wanting to go back to what I was previously eating. My last pregnancy I put on about 17kg since then I have lost 42kg. I have probably put 2-3kg on already [emoji20]and that's not even pregnant that's only trying to conceive

Thanks Sky! Definitely this cycle is for sure it!! Fx so hard!
She is doing so great! She's 13 weeks today! Cannot wait until we got in 3 weeks to see what little baby is!!
Lmsm! I feel you sweetie! Always happy when daddy gets home from work!
Halley good luck with the new opks! I hope they are far less confusing!!
Thanks Iw4k: next month definitely will be!! You are the sweetest!! Eek did you take the digital yet?
PBN how did the boys enjoy the cars movie?

Mommy-I guess, it's just really strange that it keeps going up and down between the same .5 degrees. I'm going to say April for sure! At least now that af has arrived you can enjoy a drink or two. Swaying boy, I don't get to do that. It's been 3 months since I've had a drink. No wonder the stress is building up!
Definitely going to enjoy one tonight for sure!
I didn't hardly ever drink before conceiving my boys, maybe New Years or Anniversary! So definitely will be worth it for you! Your sweet baby boy!! I can't wait until you get that positive hpt!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Aww thank you :) I sure hope I get one.. I honestly don't even care if it's a boy or girl. I'm still going to sway my best, but hearing my 3 year old beg for another baby sister makes it hard to imagine being disappointed with an opposite. I used to drink maybe one weekend a month, special occasions and holidays. But we have a lot of Birthdays in fall and winter, as well as our anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years... So it's safe to say I was drinking a lot when I concieve dd1 in January and dd2 in December lol.
lol definitely! I feel the same! One healthy baby is what matters the most! A sweet baby sister would be pretty neat for my one and only baby girl! 🤞and prayers for desired genders, but most importantly a healthy baby!

I agree 100% but also fx you get your precious girl! I was in your daughters shoes for 10 years with 4 brothers. Nothing can explain the overwhelming excitement when I found out I was finally getting a sister. :)
I can imagine ttc! Lol she was crushed when ds3 was yet again another brother! [emoji23]

Halley- regarding glucose, you just need to make sure you are snacking between meals (it doesn't have to be a lot!!) all cycle long.
You don't need sweets per se, just make sure you don't go long periods without eating. The study that mentions glucose, is like what LMSM mentioned. Boy embryos are not efficient at sucking up glucose from their environment and need a constant supply of nutrients to thrive. Girl embryos are more efficient at sucking up glucose and do better without a constant supply of nutrients.
You're doing great! The changes you've made already are huge! Try to have more than one attempt at positive opk, and you should be good to go! If you need meal ideas, PM me! I have loads for meals and snacks that should keep you right around 2000 calories a day!

Ladies, I know I'm taking a brief hiatus, but I really need your help. I just did opk and my IC looks almost positive, and the CB digi gave me a solid smile. Would you consider this positive, or test again tonight? We BD last night, so not sure if we should again tonight. DH has plans tonight with friends but might make him cancel. [emoji4]

Okay ladies, I did my temping this morning for the first time. I took it 3 times since I had never done it before and all 3 times I got a different temperature. The first was 97.72, the second was 97.66, and the third was 97.70. My question is which one do I go with? I want to put it in ff but wasn't sure which one I need to use!

Max your attempts look [emoji108] this cycle. I'd hate to say skip today and go for tomorrow since your wanting two attempts in this cycle [emoji53] go with your gut if your feeling frisky go for it [emoji6] maybe sneak into the bedroom with him before he leaves the house!

Max - I like Ash's line of thinking. :) I would say go for it. With the digi saying positive, I would consider it your +opk!!!
Ok I'm leaning towards having an attempt and doing J&D, thoughts? I'm scared Femera is totally drying up CM and sperm won't survive long, but also not wanting to sway overly blue. Go for it or wait until tomorrow? [emoji51]

Max with your history of pos opks and temp spikes that leave us unsure if your oing prior to next temp or day after I would say strongly 'go for it!'!!!!!! That wondfo looks close but not quite pos but I would trust the digi and bet the wondfo will be pos by tonight. And how awesome you already have an attempt in last night 😀 If you are going to j&d after tonights attempt wait at least 5 minutes. Personally after this long ttc I wouldn't j&d at all. Plus your dd's or one of them at least was two attempts one after the other right? Good luck dear lady and cant wait to stalk your chart over the next couple days ❤
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Max! Yay, I'd go with the digi & call it your positive! I think with this type of digi, it detects your 2 most fertile days right? With your naturally girl friendly body & Femara, I think you have an awesome shot at pink again, so go for it if it feels right tonight! This is basically e3d plus 1 at pos OPK! I think either day is great, but it's just hard to say if you'll O tomorrow or not & don't want you to miss your chance...although you may be covered well by your other attempt (which may end up being O-2). Excited for you!!
Aww poor thing! Regardless of gender, she will be okay :) I wouldn't trade any one of my brothers even if I could!Quote:

That or IBS from all the diet changes. :( Hoping I'm not stressing out too much and messing up my sway. Been doing a girl sway for 16 weeks now - it's actually gone pretty fast! We got pregnant on the 1st try w/ our two sweet boys so I'm really wondering what will happen this time around. We're not really rushed for time and my cycles are only 24 days so I'm not going to be upset if it doesn't happen this month.
I'm on CD 7 right now... Think I'm going to try to go with the 1 attempt at positive OPK approach this cycle and see what happens!!
GL to everyone trying this month!!
Exactly TTC! Lol she loves them now that they are here!

Yayyy Max! I too was going to say go for it! I think you're naturally girl friendly, then with the femara and everything, I don't think you have anything to worry about in terms of swaying blue. I have fingers crossed for you harder than I do for myself. :heart:

Hi and welcome ABC!!! It's so exciting that first cycle ttc!!! I think my tummy was in knots from the moment I decided to try for baby no3 😂
Wow 16 weeks on the diet already under your belt! What a fabulous achievement 😀 And double yay for short cycles! Have you been practice tracking with opks temping etc to determine what cd's you are oing around?
