I don't think I fade in at all.

This is what I understand from the ladies, but you can do it how you feel and depends on your belief about doing it once or multiple attempts. Atomic has a couple of threads about this you might want to check out.

If you are trying multiple attempts you would have 3-5 days abstinence (Ideally, I will shoot for 4 days abstinence) before DTD on the 1st attempt. This 1st attempt would be on O-2 (2 days before O) then for the 2nd attempt DTD at O (which s/b 48 hrs after the last one). Ideal is to DTD 12-18 hrs after 1st real positive OPK.

If you just wanted to do it once (I remember thinking most people on Ig were doing this so I started out this way but am not just trying once) then you would do the 12-18 hrs after 1st OPK. You should still have EWCM and not sticky and clumpy which would be putting you in girl territory.

Lola, you can beat me if I'm wrong.

♥ Your approach to blue sway: Diet (red meat, potatoes, tomato, v8, high potassium foods like banana and dried apricots, alkaline foods, salty food and cut out dairy and most sugar - too hard on that one not to cheat here and there), tons of lemon water, green tea. Supps (folic, epo, fish oil, l arg), mucinex plain af to o, 3 packet knox blocks recipe daily (Jen's recipe with the blueberry pom - yum). Added weights to workout. DH supps (fish oil, B12, l arg, folic, zinc), baking soda drink for both. DH switched to boxers. BSF, and plan to use davidson's egg white (tested one today at 9.5).

Begonia, good luck for this attempt. We are close in our cycles, I am CD8 at the moment.

Babydes, sorry about your so called friend. It sucks when people you thought were close friends turn out to be a waste of space. FX for you this month! Hopefully you don't end up needing Clomid.

Hope.ful, sorry about AF, stupid cow she is. I hope next month is the one.

Lola and iluv, good luck with your tests this week.

TTC5, can't believe you tested already. I'm a POAS addict too so I think I probably would have as well. Did you get implantation dips with your girls?

Welcome DebH.

No idea, as I never charted. We just bonked like crazy soon as AF left and that was that! I do remember getting spotting but no idea how far exactly but am guessing it was around the time AF was due, or just a tad after.

Haha, we did as well, basically every day until the day after O. No wonder we have girls.

I reckon! This doing it once business really feels weird :P

I tried the 1 time once, then couldn't do it again. I don't like the one shot deal, I don't have months and months to mess around with it. I'm doing it a couple times now.

If it takes me more than say, 3 cycles, I will try more than once too :)

BTW, no + opk this evening, so I hope it doesn't happen between late tonight and Friday. We dtd tonight, regular old BD but we did Doggy style in the shower. It is what it is.
