April/May/June 14 swayers...

Okay so now today my opk is super close to positve. I am guessing tonight it will be. I am mad we bded last night now. Am I still in with a good chance if I normally take 2 full days after positive opk to ovulate?

Good luck Steph!!!!

Good Luck Rosie!
I am super excited I get to be in the 2ww with you gals 💕

Rosie, to tell you what I would do. If I got a positive the day after BD I would take that as my attempt but if it was 2 days before, like my situation today I am going to BD again because I am personally not confident in a 3/4 day cutoff. 1/2 days yes, but more and I'm nervous. I know that's not the current advice but it's been too long for me. So you have to think of what you are personally comfortable with. Sounds like you are pretty fertile to ovulate already.

Go Rosie go!

I'm going for it tonight. So cool to be in the 2ww with you guys! And it's Father's Day in 2 weeks, what a lovely Father's Day pressie it would be :)

I agree with Steph-- the pregnancy rates go way down with a 3-4 day cutoff. Highest pregnancy rates are 2 days before O and day before O. I'd attempt again.

Good luck on your Father's Day bfp ladies!! Xx

Good luck Rosie and stephk!

So would I attempt tonight again or tomorrow? Or the next day?

Did you get your positive tonight?

It's mid day here..I will test tonight around 9pm. My afternoon was still negative as well. I've been cramping and having o pains so hopefully it pops up tonight so I don't have to do another attempt.

Here is my opk.

Hi Rosie If it's positive tonight I would not attempt again. Last night will cover it. Do you always ovulate 2 days after positive opk for sure? You know you could ovulate 8 hours to 48 hours after positive opk, but if it's definitely 2 days after your positive opk I would do another attempt after your true positive opk as the cut off could be too long.

Well I have always had positve opks for 2 to 3 days and ewcm until they turn negative and I figured I didnt.ovulate until just after all the ewcm left

Omg Rosie, that looks heaps better than mine and they look identical to the OPK's I buy. Well, we didn't have any luck bd this morning or last night :( I'm going out tonight so I'm hoping hubby will be keen when I get home. I don't hold my hopes too high though :(

I hope you get to BD boysway. Why can't our husband's be ready when we are?! Haha. Do you not get full on positives on your opks? They are the babi brand. The digital said it was negative so I just went with that.

Good luck Rosie and stephk!!

Woo hoo :) This is what my positive OPK'S look like. It would be darker except i needed to go to the toilet 2 hours ago, lol. Now, I am hoping dh will be awake when I get home tonight. I told dh we should send the older two kids to the park and sit our youngest in front of a movie. Rofl, tempting.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/31/a3yva2am.jpg

I am sooo frustrated!!! I had every sign of impending ovulation today and the dark test which I assumed would get darker. ..nope it's getting lighter! It was never a full positive. Why why why. I still have ewcm and cramping. Guess I will just test again tomorrow after my workout.

Joining you in your frustration Rosie! My opk's are negative today after days of positives. I think I may have ovulated last night so think Wednesday nights attempt may have been too soon but tonight would be too late??!!?! I so want to get that BFP this month and this is all driving me crazy!! 😠

GL Boysway! Defiantly a positive. 😊

I am telling you now ladies, these OPK's will be our destruction :(

Mumofsix, yes very happy with my +OPk :) I also had the same thing happen this cycle as with last cycle. When I went to the bathroom, I had one small spot of fresh blood stained cm when I wiped. Weird thing, when it happened last cycle I think it was about the same time of day.

I don't know if this is a good omen or a bad omen. I purchased a Rose quartz bracelet. I thought it couldn't hurt with my attempts. The darn thing broke a short time ago. I saw it was ready to break. I managed to save the stones and repair the bracelet. It's now on dental floss, lol. I think I will take it off and put it in my pocket though. It feels a little loose.

These OPKs are a blinkin nightmare!!!

This is the darkest I've ever seen an ovulation test turn positive. Holy cow. Now to decide if we want to BD again or not. How much woukd it up my chance of it being a boy if I do?

WOW that is dark!! You BD 2 days ago right? So if you now O between 24-48 hours there won't be many swimmers, I would BD. That's why I did it last night even though it was 2 days since last attempt and I won't regret or blame this if I have a boy.

Does super dark mean two eggs?! Haha

Lol are you still secretly hoping for twins

Secretly yes...it does increase my chances for a girl! I would love 5 kids...Two girls would be amazing!

:( I'm writing off this cycle. Poor dh couldn't perform all three times we have tried. He has said he will see the Dr. I really don't know how I'm going to get through this each month. All the prep, all the vitamins just to see hubby so upset :( It really doesn't feel worth it.

Rosie - what a strong opk? Must be opk+++ :-)

Boysway - oh no. Poor you and poor dh. How stressful for both of you. Not that it helps you in any way right now, but your dh is not alone. I have seen many ppl writing about not being able to perform or finish when it's time for the real deal. Even if the men seem to be pretty uninterested in the swaying stuff, the ttc probably affects them more than we maybe think. Hope this is something very temporary and that it will work out better for you soon!

Boysway I am so sorry to hear. It's great that he is willing to go to the docs. Most men wouldn't admit any hint of a problem and wouldn't go. Meanwhile you spend money on vitamins and gaining/losing weight you don't want to gain/lose (depending on your aim) and feeling utterly miserable in the process!! Oh I HATE TTC!!!!!

My DH gave me a lecture this morning how it's all down to natural selection and why oh why am I going to the gym so much.......Er have you stopped to consider that I LOVE it! Aerobics this morning was so fab!

Sorry to hear what you're going through boysway. Hopefully it's just the stress of TTC and nothing else, but it's good that he has said he will go to the drs. I know my DH wouldn't go.

We have had some similar issues. Last month DH couldn't complete the attempt and this month, we had one attempt on Wednesday which was ok, but last night he could "complete the deed" but just not near me?!?! Twice!!

I'm devastated as I think our Wednesday attempt was too early and I just don't feel positive about this month at all, and it was last month to TTC. 😞

Who would have thought all this TTC for our DG's would wind up so hard.

Thanks ladies :)

Mumofsix. That's part of the issue we had last night. Things were so close and the moment he got near me, the job could not be completed :(

:( so sorry ladies - this TTC business probably freaks the guys out more than we realise :( they don't have a supportive forum like this either. My DH calls this a silly girly chat forum!

Okay, so assuming I ovulated on CD 21, AF should arrive around the 13-16 of June. Ovulation will probably be sometime in July. Mind you, my cycles appear to be all over the place. Thank goodness I am able to buy cheap OPK's. Last cycle O was on CD 19 as was the one before. Goodness only knows what is going on. I hope I don't ovulated when I suspect I will (if it's CD 21 again). That will mean ovulation is back to through the week.

Anyway, I am rambling. I just purchased some tablets that should help with the issue we had over the weekend as well as helping dh's sperm health. From what I have read, it should take two weeks to work. So, I'm unsure if we will even attempt this month. I think I will need to have a chat to atomic. The tablets I ordered are from the states. I am pretty sure they will get through customs. They will likely take 10-12 days to arrive. Which means they probably won't be working when I am due to ovulate. Argh, the 'wonderful' technicalities of TTC.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Boysway,
I also had to make the dh take a natural male enhancement to help with completing the task. My dh unfortunately has diabetes and if his sugar levels are too high, he will definitely experience erection problems and will not be able to complete his task. The ones we bought were all natural capsules and we always buy them in sex shops or liquor stores. What kind of pills did you buy if you don't mind me asking?

The past two months my dh missed my egg because of his performance issie and I totally understand what you are going through! The ones we took are called Blue Rhino I believe and let me tell you that they work 😂💞
