Thank you Atomic! Very helpful.
We were able to get our attempt in ten mins after when the moon sign changed to Cancer. I think we might have caught O+17-18 but it could very well have been O+12.
DH had abstained for 14 days.
My ph was quite low already so I had half a dose of Sudafed only 2 hours before , and DH skipped the hot shower and had 2 cranberry tablets, skipped Sudafed.
We used a teeny tiny bit of KY jelly as lube coz I was really dry. I skipped refresh altogether because I was scared that we are already late and did not want to slow down the speed even further.
I really hope this attempt worked and I get a bfp but trying not get my hopes up.

I would have your hopes very low for conception. That's an incredibly strict sway and I will be somewhat surprised if you conceive, though it's always possible.

I missed my period today and yet got a BFN. Did not test with FMU. Feeling extremely nauseous all day long. Any chance I could be pregnant?
-
If your period is late and you're getting BFN, you probably ovulated later than you realize. Did you have any attempts after the one you described above?
-
^^^ or unprotected sex that you did not consider to be an attempt?
-
No we only had that one attempt that I thought was O+18ish. I felt O pain on the day I thought I O’d, so I doubt my ovulation was delayed. If it was then I may have actually caught the egg then.
Today is Cd2 and no AF. I had a severe case of nausea and vomiting last night but I tied that to some bad food I ate.
Tested this morning with fmu and bfn again :(
So frustrating

When your period comes late that means you ovulated later or may possibly not even have ovulated yet at all. There are 3 reasons your period is late - pregnancy, an ovarian cyst (rare) and delayed ovulation. If your period is late and you're not pregnant the odds are all but 100% you ovulated late.
Things like O Pains are really not reliable. You can have O pain before, during, and after ovulation. You can have O pains that go away and then come back days or weeks later and still haven't ovulated yet. They're just not always as helpful as we would like.
-
I guess I ovulated late. I got my AF today.
What’s the least amount of sway I can do while ensuring I get pregnant? DH abstain + one attempt in fertile window do the trick? Anything I can add?
-
The only things that have worked for us are LE Diet longer than 12 weeks plus fiber, coffee, and alcohol, cardio exercise 60 minutes a day, 4-7 days a week, one attempt, and Clomid or Femara if you can get them. Jump and dump ~may~ help though it really cuts odds of conception, so most of us do that after 5 minutes rather than immediately. For hubby, smoking (both regular and special tobacco, though special tobacco is less proven) and jogging or biking have been shown in studies to sway pink. Him increasing intake of soy foods like soy milk and even possibly going vegetarian or vegan may help. Olive leaf extract is said to help though I personally doubt it. Both of you should give up prenatals/multivitamins and highly fortified foods.
So when you're looking for things to drop, start with things like timing, pH (both jelly and douche), frequency patterns, herbal supplements, that don't work and cut odds of conception by a lot, and things that have never been shown TO work and cut odds of conception a lot like hot bath, tighty whiteys, shallow release.
Preserve the things that work as long as possible while gradually, over time, getting rid of the things that don't work.

Ok, I am back this month and ready to try again!
I am on CD 12 today. DH has been abstaining since CD 3. Confused about when to do an attempt. Also diet and exercise have taken a backseat since AF due to some other stuff going on so I don’t have much of a sway seems like.
Still would like to try my best for a girl with whatever possible at this point of time.
Have not gotten a positive OPK yet may get one tomorrow. What do you recommend I do - do my 1 attempt at positive OPK with some Sudafed and jump and dump? Or my 1 attempt at O+12? I know timing does not sway as much but would like to do whatever possible now.
Anything else I can try for a pink sway now? How about Rephresh.
