Hi & welcome Momto3girls! You are welcome to my blue dust �� Sounds like you've made some good boy-friendly changes! Fx for you & Happy 2WW!!
Welcome from a fellow Blue swayer, Mom3girls !!
Looks like you have done a great job for this cycle, so fingers crossed – agree the TWW would be so good if it could fly by faster! :D
When do you usually test? We are a few in the TWW or soon to be – and a few of us are blue swayers, so if you have any questions, let us know!
Did you conceive your girls easily?
(btw, I realised I didn’t answer TTCblue after you answered my question to you lol – ok so your girls were conceived either in an average time or super fast – in any case, seems like you are very fertile so your chances are oh so good hon!)
Lola – just checked, it was the Wondfos that weren’t cheap to post over here duuuh- the OSOM I couldn’t get shipped over here at all :P so that killed that desire to buy some!
LMSM-well since you can get your hands on the old style frer's (right?), no need for the others anyway!
LMSM and anyone else that would like to weigh in 😀
Halley has asked for you opinion on her chart and if she has indeed oed which it really looks like she has. I have admitted this morning to being at a loss as it certainly looks like she oed by temps however if you look at her opks prior to cd14 they are clearly clearly negative. The only opk that came close to pos was after the temp spike. I'm attaching a long winded pm I sent explaining why I thought she hadn't oed but even I'm questioning myself now 😂😂 I have never heard of oing without a noticeable surge, so unless hers is super dooper short surge and came and went within hours it looks to me like there has been no peak or even close to peak surge prior to temp spike..... here's screenshots of the explanation. Wont let me attach to this post

I guess my initial thoughts would be – opks are a great tool BUT they also can be deceiving – if you don’t have a similar concentration of hormone in the tested urine sample, it may not pick up on a surge that is effectively in the midst of happening …so overall, given the clear temp spike, there is def potential for O to have already occurred..
OR her body tried to ovulate, but never really got there – sending signs that mimic O..
I have had cycles where I was CONVINCED I had O’d – temp, opks, symptoms –only to have my fert specialist tell me with a scan it didn’t look likely and bw confirming I indeed hadn’t…
Frustrating as it may be – I think that as the opks did at some point get quite dark though not entirely positive – it might be safer assuming she did O, and just had a short surge and the temp is reflective of that?
It’s confusing I know – and we won’t 100% for sure – Halley is it worth maybe continuing testing opks to see if your body potentially gears up again and O’s or if the temp stays elevated hence leaning towards the theory O did already happen…
Sorry my essay here probs just confused the hella of every one – just a few thoughts?!
Hang on just realised that I missed the comment you made about opks getting positive post temp spike :P don’t mind my sieve brain…:rofl:
Could it be – since the temp is taken in the AM that the surge happened overnight, and the darkest opk just picked up on the remainder of the hormone as the temp was rising that day?? Or something along those lines? I.e super fast surge and O?
Oh and Lola – yes, I do have heaps of the straight FRERs – I think I have a full box of 7 plus maybe an extra 3 leftover from another box- in any case, plenty to play with if I get a BFP to do progressing POAS ^^Quote:

Yes and I'm thinking this is a very real possibility!!! Unusual but seems to be the most likely explanation. Also she told me just before that her cycle is usually 28 days so seems ff is quite likely right. I'm feeling really bad at the moment as I feel like instead of helping all I've done is cause her unnecessary stress 🙁 (if you're reading this Halley I'm sorry 😔)Quote:

Sorry Halley you are in the midst of us thinking out loud with our rambling :rofl:
Re opks, you could continue but really the reason why I mentioned that is that it could be a back-up in case you aren’t convinced you might have O’d already… BUT thinking about it, it might just confuse you further depending on how they color (if they stay consistently light or go up and down in color etc). Would hate for you to be at loss even more! It sucks not being sure :hugs:
It's ok. I am just grateful for people willing to help.
Continuing opks probably would confuse me more lol
We will at least do eod 2 more times this month.
I do hope we did bd enough around cd14 if that is when I did o
I am not confident at all this time round and hesitant when the time comes to do a hpt, but would like to before af comes.

Ttcblue that's a very pretty spike you have there! Did you dance a little jig 😀

Halley, continuing eod a bit longer is likely the (and less stressful) way to go :)
Maaaaxxxx... look at that temp rise , omg!!! :cheer:
Please could we fast forward time to this weekend?! The what ifs are killing me :nails:
Pbn: I did!!! I'm so happy! My dd1 never wakes up at night, but she did this time. Woke me up at 5, which is 30 min earlier than any time I've ever tempted, and 90 min before my usual time. But I had to get up with her because she wet the bed so I took the temp early and danced with my baby. She said "Mama, why you happy? I peed in my bed" :rofl:
Awww that is just the sweetest 😍😍

Thank you LMSM. DH is very confident with this month despite everything that has/is happening. I'm just worrying and that's not going to get me anywhere.
He wants me around 10-11dpo to do a hpt. I'm not so sure the uncertainty about everything has me doubting it all.

Woohoo, * dancing *!!! Look st that temp spike...and how cute was your dd :DQuote:

It's normal to be at loss, in a few days we may gave a clearer picture either way ;)Quote:

Momto3girls, welcome!! I have 2 daughters ages 5 and 7, and we are swaying for pink again! Mine would have the same age spread as yours if we add another. Do your girls all get along? My only concern this entire time is having my older two so close in age, and the last being left out of things.

Oh How I hope for you!!!! Fxxxxx
Like you have some serious pulling and heaviness in my pelvis but like you am trying to be cool about it all...tryyying being the operative word! ;)
Yes, when do you reckon you'll test sweetie?
Thanks lmsm! Love my babies :heart:
Fx max!!
So the same here LMSM, it's been so hard seeing months of BFN, so trying not to overthink it. Again, operative word trying! [emoji12]
I'm weighing between testing 9dpo (when I got bfp's with DD's) or waiting until 12dpo (so I don't see any more faint positives and then get AF). What do you guys think?

My girls were all conceived on the first cycle.. I'm a fertile myrtle! I have also been a surrogate 3 times with no issues getting pregnant, so hopefully there will be no issues there!
I can't wait to see all the poasing!!
If your chart continues to be so beautiful, you could maybe cut the pear in half and test at 10 dpo or 11 if you can stand to wait?Quote:

If you are super fertile and got girls, then the he diet would make you an u er super fertile lady, you def stand with greats chances of BFP 1st try! ;) you will find that we *may* encourage the poas addict in you too hahaQuote:

I just know how defeated those early bfns can make us feel..... by 10dpo you should hopefully see an unquestionable faint line and if you're 12dpo then chances are you'll have a really good line.Quote:

Good morning ladies!
I think Halley most certainly did O. My BFP with my DS3, I didn't get a positive opk on either a Wondfo or a CBD testing all cycle long. I did have a clear temp rise like Halley did. I remember thinking I was out that cycle and super bummed.

Thank you xxforhubby I am feeling a bit down and out and just wanting reassurance that yes I may still have a chance this month. I am very grateful to this group for all there support and putting up with my messages. Sorry if I have annoyed anyone. DH is very supportive and is positive about this month which is helping.Quote:

Sorry didn't get around to responding and reading properly today!
For the Aussies, I'm obsessing over the book Barefoot Investor! So I've been busy setting up bank accounts etc. it's almost midnight! Catch up tomorrow. Fingers crossed for lots of great temps and positive OPKs! X

Hally, I also didn't get a positive on my cheapies or digital one cycle, like xx. I definitely did O because I went in for an unrelated ultrasound and was shocked to hear that I actually did O. Everyone is different, obviously, but wanted to throw that out there.
XX, thank you so much!!! I am leaning towards waiting until 12dpo when AF is due, but geez I sometimes have no willpower! ;)
Hally, if they were going to get annoyed by anyone's messages I'm sure it would be mine, long before yours! I'm always worried and anxious and freaking out over something. My mind just has this unique capability of always thinking the worst is bound to happen to me. I do believe you still have a great chance for this cycle (you bd eod during the fertile period if I remember right) and that means you got attempts in on either O-4, O-2 and O day, or O-3 and O-1. Either way the most pregnancies result from O-2 and O-1, so you're covered with 2-3 attempts. May even be better that you didn't know it was time because the extra stress to concieve wasn't there! Fx dear :heart:
Edited to add: I just stalked your chart. It looks like you have 3 attempts on O-3, O-1 and O day. (Someone correct me if I'm misreading the chart) What are you worried about, that's great!! 3 attempts in the fertile window with a 2 day break before O-1! That's like a perfect line up!!
Welcome
Momto3girls! 🤞🏻[emoji1317]for a baby boy!!
Phew went to sleep and slept through 4 pages! Lol
Halley: this ttc stuff is confusing! Fx crossed you indeed did ovulate! Would continue with the eod method though! I'd honestly forget about the opks the rest of the cycle, I do after a few days when it's clear the color isn't budging. You aren't annoying! lol I'm sure I annoy them at times for real!
Ttc: eek!!
Max: yay for a rise!!
Lmsm: so close!!
