Ok I'm going to re-test again soon so I'll update but that's what I was sort of thinking - wait until morning to give him some extra time to "repopulate" - ha!!

When we conceived my 2nd, we had like 5 or 6 daily attempts leading up to the day of ovulation (or day before - can't remember), so from that it seemed we can def get pregnant w/ daily attempts (meaning low sperm count wasn't an issue). I know obviously in that case those 5 or 6 attempts were all W/O condom so LOTS of sperm got in there but he must not have run too low before I hit my fertile days. We got pregnant on the first shot w/both boys so we were def super fertile then... Maybe if we wait till morning he'll have recovered enough to still give us a shot this cycle! :)

Nacire your description of growing up hearing your brothers talking and laughing, seeng their bond pretty much sums up why I'm hoping more and more for boy #3 🙁

ABC agree with LMSM that if tonight's opk is a clear positive then bd tomorrow sometime. Thing is most people would just test once a day so really if you were doing that then tomorrow would be your first positive anyway :) You should still o the day after tomorrow (if you fall within the average) Good luck!!!! And definately post a pic of your opks so we can take a look 😀

Iwant4kids can you post your chart link again? I removed it when you stopped temping 😀

LMSM cannot wait for the next few days temp!

Netti woohoo so good to see you here!!! Have you asked Atomic what she thinks would be best in your situation for FR or abstain? I think it would be worthwhile getting her opinion while you have time. Detail your ages, your usual bd frequency, what frequency and attempts you used for your 5 boys (the ones you remember anyway) She may recommend something different than the norm for you given your strong natural inclination towards blue.... also there's a lady on here called fiveboys? I think her username is that is pregnant with a dd after 5 boys and she posted a sway. Might be worth checking it out if you haven't already. Also are you doing LE diet even lightly? From memory you were pretty loose with the diet and I know you had more than one attempt when you conceived ds5.

Thanks pbn. Pattern with all boys was bd every other day so 3/4 frequency. Ive always fallen pretty quickly so im wanting to try something different. I have been skipping breakfast but thats about it. With shift work its pretty hard plus winter is not my friend but ive been trying. Havent been exercising either hence why im trying a completely different approach with the frequency thing.

Ill pop up a post. DH just turned 35 so no worried about that.

I do worry about his ability for everyday though 😂

ABC, for what it's worth I never get a line darker than the control line and I seem to be using the same opk's as you. Have you double checked with a digi? Mine looked the same as yours on the cheapie but the digi gave me a positive. I ovulated right after, but would have missed it had I not double checked with digi since I would have considered the cheapie a negative.

Got crosshairs today!! I'm 1-3dpo depending on when I actually O'd. Going in for u/s tomorrow to check my lining. [emoji322]

Ok I don't think I'm going to like OPKs!

So I just tested again and I picked up another brand at the store today too (not digital maximbella... I guess if I can't figure these Easy Home ones out I'll have to splurge for the digitals!!!). But the test line on the other brand was DEF way lighter than control line. The Easy Home they were almost the same color - test line maybe slighter lighter still. Pics of both below.

Eeek! So maybe I should still just wait until tomorrow, test early afternoon, and plan on probably BD-ing tomorrow?

Thanks!!!!

yey for crosshairs!!

ABC, that's weird that was taken with the same sample? The easy home looks positive to me?! Don't let me discourage you, I do think I'm an outlier with opk's. most of my girlfriends used them with no problems or uncertainly whatsoever. I think I'm in the minority that they might cause undue stress honestly.

Thanks Cosmo! Really hoping this is it for me....

Maaaax – so happy to see you here – I did stalk your chart, looking good young lady! Woohoo :cheer:

ABC – sounds like a good plan – like PBN says you probs won’t O straight away anyhow so should be a good one attempt ;)
Looks like you are one heck of a fertile couple – so his swimmers are super effective haha so it’s hence less likely that the previous BD would have had too much on an impact (as in – lowered the count TOO much – should be just right ^^).
Keep us posted!
Edit: you psoted as I typed – did you have the same amount of liquid before peeing, did you hold just as long? That may make a difference!

Netti so glad to see that DH is willing to let you try this month!!! Woohoo!
FX so hard you get pregnant this month and even better, with your much longed for girl <3

PBN - you and me both! it’s crazy, I feel so schizophrenic at the moment, one second going “omg am so preggers” to the next “ am so having AF soon”…. :rofl:
I did receive a very special present yesterday – a beautiful pink quartz bracelet along with some other things including kind words – and it’s lifted my spirit so much, so will keep being positive! :)

I’ve now had a chance to read you in more detail – and agree the description of your kids (or your siblings) sleeping in the same room sounds dreamy!
We have 4 bedrooms (ours, DD1’s which is medium sized, DD2’s which is effectively the smallest and the nursery, and a large roiom which currently serves as a playroom) – I had mentioned to Dh that when #3 tags along, after we keep bub with us for that while at first, we should move bub to the nursery and have our two girls together…and keep the playroom as their common room (or even swap, and have the girls have the large room and make DD1’s current room the playroom)..he doesn’t want to, saying we have enough rooms for each to have their own.
He has a sister, and grew up sharing the bedroom for lack for space – and I think he is very attached to each kid having their space (I would only have them be in the same room if they wanted to, of course – since we have the space/choice). Sigh :(
Oh and the guy that came in to see me this morning was a guy from Boston, which made me think of all you lovely US ladies (yes, you are on my mind even at work!) :D

Please post in the new July thread linked above [emoji16]!

XX I did make that comment to myself a few days ago already when we were only at page like 60 lol

LMSM - I definitely feel fondled lol He is fondling me as I’m typing.. I just don’t want to force the weaning, but if he’s ready I will totally encourage him. I came across an article today that said to start setting limits for nursing toddlers. Like stop nursing in public by simply telling him we only nurse at our house. Also gradually cutting down the number of sessions per day. I got some tips to try, and hopefully the lovey blanket will work wonders on his little fingers:) Thank you again LMSM!!

Pbn3 - I didn’t write that stuff to make anyone not want their desired gender :( I’m sorry if I make anyone feel different. I always felt it was because they’re twins. Twins always have a special bond and sometimes have their own secret language. I don’t think my feelings are always the outcome.

Nacire thought I'd post here instead of new thread to respond. I didn't take it that way at all, it's only because the boy vs girl thing and what would be best for our family and not just for me was on my mind this morning that's all ❤ And yes being twins would've made the bond that much stronger too!

Naci - if he has something else to occupy his little fingers with he likely will take to the blanket (my DD2 started being obsessed with any towel – burp cloths, tea towels, face washers you name it – if it’s terry towel fabric she grabs it and cuddles it and is obsessed with her pacifier too – which she doesn’t have when still nursing) – you’ll find what works for him (could be a teething or nursing jewellery or toy too)! No need to force the weaning at all as long as it works for you both ;) I delayed the weaning because I didn’t want to force it and felt guilty for being the one that didn’t “like” it anymore – but definitely taking things gradually and a “play it by ear” approach is the best! As pregnancy progresses, as milk will change, he may not like it as much or at all anymore anyways so remember to be kind to yourself, you are being such an awesome mama doing the best for Luca all while carrying and nurturing another baby – so you will do this as a team, whether it’s to diminish the nursing, wean or continue on like it’s running out of fashion – what works for you both! ;)

LMSM - Luca is our baby who doesn’t like holding our hands, but likes holding his own hands if that makes any sense.. He likes his own fingers. If he not being touchy feely he’s hold his own hands together. I never thought of the nursing jewelry before. Everything you mentioned is worth a try. I feel like is keeping up with all this worth it once the new baby comes?. Will he know how to share? Will I wish I gently weaned him sooner? I’m scared of how he will take the new baby wanting to nurse, and that being whats most important. Like you said though maybe he won’t be interested later in the pregnancy so I will never know till that time comes. Thank you for always taking the time to write me :)

Hi ladies, not had chance to read through yet and I'm off to work now ( last week till the summer as I'm a teacher, Yey!) will catch up when I get home.
Just took my temp though and it's low on 5dpo. That's not good, right?

No not bad mummy2boys! Just unusual and to me that's good! 'Implantation dips' usually occur between 6-10 dpo but you never know.....
