Abundant April 2ww

Skyblue I've created a thread about timing for blue in the forum ttc natural - ttc boy. Sorry I just don't know how to link through tapatalk... it will be there in the new threads section too so you should find it there :)

Pbn3 - sorry you're not feeling well! It is a good sway sign though! I'm not sold on the dip either as I never had a big one with my other pregnancies.

Lolabelle - Atomic asked for DH to 'self' release for 7-10 days before our attempt for that reason (daily release sways pink)

Momamia - glad things are going well!

Maxim - enjoy the holiday! Hope you get that surge soon.

Skyblue - Hope your attempts were enough. Just trust that it happened that way for a reason and the egg is caught


AFM - testing in the morning!!! I have some signs, but don't want to read too much into them or get too excited. My cervix is high but hard and I think it should be soft?

Yay I want4kids!!! Can't wait!! It's so exciting that we have our first hpt about to happen 😀 fx fx fx!!! I would not rely on cervix position texture or cm when it comes to the 2ww to give any clues, I've been sure so many times because of something different and reading similar stories on the internet that I should've been pregnant almost every cycle lol. I really do hope though that your 'signs' are right on the mark (I absolutely believe we all have some inner intuition) and we see a bfp in the mext few days!!!

Ash-I expected to see mine fade like yours, but think I'm going to stop worrying and see what happens this cycle! It has me curious though, so can't seem to stop POAS lol.
Moma-Fx for girl twins for you!!! That would be my dream scenario too!!!
Skyblue-your 2 attempts sound perfectly planned-fx for you!
Iwant4kids-eeeeek, almost testing time! Cmon 1st BFP!
Pbn-thanks for your never-ending support for all of us and your valuable insight! You have been so wonderful in helping others...it is sooo your time! Everything crossed for you!!!
I pray that all of us will be in the December ddg!! How awesome that would be...in a brand new thread!! :)
My Ovulation Chart

Attachment 35589

I am no longer feeling confident about this cycle I didn't have a big temp spike this am so assuming I still haven't Od and dh is gone so I won't have another attempt at it 😢. Still feeling cramping. 10am today will be 48hours since my first pos opk so surely by tomorrow I should have a temp spike. Im currently 17dpo and generally start af every 28 days. Is it normal to have such a short time between O and af?

Ash-I don't know enough about charting yet, but don't lose hope! Fx that you O soon if you haven't already!!!

So I just signed up for fertility friend this chart seems easier to share than on my ovia app I think I got it onto my sig. thought itd be easier to see a raise in temp on the actual computer than on my phone haha I'm obsessed! Obviously no temp raise on phone or computer lol.... ok I have thrown away my opk sticks for this month and I have cleaned up my "set up" in the bathroom I guess only thing to do now that hubby is gone away is hope we catch the egg today would be nice all the rest is out of my control. I feel like I'm ready to move onto next month :tissue:
probably thinking way to much into this since its not been a full 48 hours yet but wondering if such a change in diet and the excess exercise has caused me to not ovulate.... I'm a pessimistic worrier if you haven't figured that out..

Then out of that 1 in 4 pregnancies will fail to implant or will miscarry down the track. By bding at peak reading you are getting at least one attempt in however many may follow at least 12-48 prior ovulation giving you the best chance by having 'fresh but ready' sperm to meet egg (I'm referring to the peak reading on dual hormone digi ones here). Sperm can live up to 5 days or so in some cases but those are the best case scenarios. I've never personally fallen pregnant from anything other than 1-o or o day attempt (not sure which one sealed the deal) that I know of.

When I talk about cervix position and texture its just another 'tool' to guess ovulation is or has taken place just like cm. We cannot know for sure when we ovulate and when our cervix or cm changes in relation to that unless we were under 24 hour observation with constant ultrasounds to confirm egg has been released. All I know is as a trend from 2 years of on and off charting that my cervix goes high and soft then hardens, cm will turn from watery to sticky creamy and this corresponds with a temp spike. I'm not sure when the cervix hardens and cm changes that I have oed, I use it as a sign that I should have or am in that 24hr period of temp checking. I hope all this make sense and please let me know if I haven't answered your question. I myself have come abit confused and think I'll start a thread to ask atomic about the recommended bd pattern for blue. If eod sways strongly blue I'm wondering why that isn't the recommendation?? Or eod plus attempt at pos opk? I'll let you know what I hear back or when I've created it so you can subscribe to it to see the answers :)

Thankyou Pbn. It makes perfect sense and yes you answered all my questions once again [emoji1303].You are amazing. I just saw the thread you created. I m sure that will help a lot of blue swayers. I know it's eod and then 3 attempts at positive opk. But I am scared to do unprotected before solid smiley.[emoji51]

Hi ladies! Trying to keep up with the comments while I'm away. Why does unprotected before positive opk sway either direction??

Hi Maxim. How are you doing? Did you test again?
I am not sure if everyone here thinks that it sways either way but it's just me and my silly thinking where I am still stuck up on a few things from Shettles. So I wanted to stick to the attempts after peak reading on dual surge opk.
I am sure Pbn would have the right answer to this question.
