Awesome April 2ww & TTC thread [emoji120]

Pbn question follow up... Left to right, wondfo opks March 14 early and late afternoon and March 15 around noon. March 15 i think I was less hydrated. I don't know if it makes a difference but in Feb. I think it took a couple days to fade out but in March it didn't.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this. It is CD14 for me now and i want my 1 attempt to be timed best this month!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...06f179d5f3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fd5f1cbedf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fe0a80f00d.jpg

Thanjs pbn! Last month the attempt was March 14, so I don't think I missed it either way. I will be extra cautious this month with hydration. I tend to drink too little generally and will make sure not to drink too much.
Started temping today, since I f8nally got the thermometer.

Thanks pbn, yeah I am at the point where I think just getting pregnant is my aim now ( although I desperately want a girl too) I feel like time is running out and I can't keep waiting for my chance. I've just done another opk and it's even darker so I'm definitely going to attempt again tonight 🤞🤞

Gafan, mine are definitely darker when I don't drink so much liquid. I try and hold for 3 hours or so (which I find pretty tricky [emoji15])

I am thinking that my morning coffee was making it harder to hold. Less coffee this cycle will help.

Gafan it's impossible to say what cd you'll get a pos on this cycle or if one of those pics of last cycles was your pos opk without temping. Looks like they'll get clse though to a standard pos. What cd are you on now? I'd recommend start opk testing cd10 and dtd as soon as your opk looms close if not quite positive. Better to have a slightly earlier attempt than a too late attempt and this cycle will allow you to see how dark your opk is likely to get prior to oing [emoji4]

Hugs to you ABC!

Well ladies, I took a Clear Blue this morning and it said negative. I got one positive yesterday with FRER and one negative. So, instead of driving myself into insanity I'm just going to wait until AF and go from there!

Daaaang Pbn you are on fire today answering questions!! :) :) Seriously though what would this board do without you??!

Sorry Eighme - hopefully the BFP shows up on Tuesday!!!!

Verena - Yea I think betas are a good idea. They don't always mean everything will be ok (didn't in my case last time) but they still can be really helpful at this stage. Glad you will be able to get another ultrasound at 6 weeks as well - by then things should definitely be clearer.

Pbn - DH's results should be in any time now but if it takes as long as mine did (I had my blood drawn a week before he did), it won't be until the end of the week. :(

Sorry to hear eighme, fx for your next test!!

Gafan do you have a link to your chart?

Abc it's 6am Monday where I am so must be getting close to your ultrasound!

Emshe another flashing!! As frustrated as I'm sure you are getting, this will be awesome if you get a solid smiley tomorrow morning now as you're due to bd tomorrow anyway and wont have to decide about an extra attempt. Be good to stick to an AM bd especially if your dip test looks close this afternoon.

Thanks Pbn! I am on CD 14 and I have been using opks since CD 10, no positives. Only started temping this morning so no info there for now. I have had clear positive OPKs earlier this sway and with my first so I'll limit liquids more, test afternoon and early evening and and hope for a clear positive in the next day or two.

Do you know if a woman tends to have a similar pattern of fade out each cycle? I think I read some women have a quick spike and then the opks are negative, while others may show a few days of positive.

Gafan I think once you have a pattern of lh surges it *mostly* doesn't vary much but I've definately seen it happen so you cannot assume the same thing will happen cycle after cycle regardless of how regular you are. It'll be the one cycle you're banking on being straightforward that will go haywire [emoji53]

That link works perfect! Looking forward to seeing your opks and temps over the next few days!

Well I think it’s a positive! What’s with the Clearblue I wonder?

Have you got a pic?

The cb simply may not have picked up enough difference in the surge this morning. There's a good chance if your dip test is positive that you would get a solid smiley if testing again, otherwise it should definately be positive in the AM

Sorry thought I did that, derr me!!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7df7b6c526.jpg

Thinking I should BD late late tonight?
What’s your thoughts. Would be about 6 hours shy of the 72hour gap of E4D

Urine was very strong, only held for 2 hours but had only had a long black & a decaf coffee, probably 250ml for the morning


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/35220b

That is a really strong pos! You'd definately get a solid smiley if you test again now. I think bding late tonight is an excellant compromise!! Fx emshe!! How exciting!! Hoping so much this is your cycle!

Thanks! I hope so too.

Is that what you would do if me? Or leave it til morning?

i think its the strength thats thrown me, could that mean ov happens quicker? Concern is we could miss the opportunity of catching the egg and being left reliant on Saturdays 6am delivery, do you think thats a legit concern?






https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/35220b

Well the earliest you'll o is tomorrow and an attempt tonight will have swimmers there ready and able. There's not *likely* to be a whole lot of swimmers alive from Saturdays AM attempt by tomorrow either. If you were to wait and attempt tomorrow morning and end up oing during the day then there's a chance the egg will come and go before the swimmers from an AM bd have a chance to capacitate so you'd be pretty much banking everything on some still being alive from previously. If you do attempt tonight and dont o until evening tomorrow/following day (Wednesday) then an attempt tonight will have you perfectly covered. I think you potentially have more to gain by attempting tonight and more to lose by waiting until tomorrow morning BUT you have to feel right about it and have no regrets. This is why doing opks when doing e4d can really mess with your head....[emoji24]

Congratulations, hannah and nonerz, and good luck eighme and other lovely ladies here!
As for me, for 9 days already I was desperately waiting for each morning to see the progression of my test line. I was getting excited with each day, took pictures several times to post, but on the photos the line was looking much lighter and discouraging, so I was waiting. Anyway, it's not getting any darker (it's lighter than control line), but I'm using cheapies, so I decided that's it. I do have symptoms, like being out of breath, swollen and aching breasts, feeling nauseous from time to time, etc.
I'm in search for doctors and hospital now, since I got disappointed in the previous ones.
As for my sway, well, it got much lighter in the past few months, I never counted anything, skipped breakfast, but still had mostly 3 meals, at first I lost more than 20 pounds, then put on a 5-6 pounds, had 2 cups of coffee without anything else the last 3-4 months (I never had coffee before), used a little bit of alcohol past two months, I BD cd7, cd9, cd11, cd13, cd15, since I was going to do e4d +1, but somehow I messed up both with opks and BDs, usually I had +opk on cd11-cd12. I got first faint line on cheapie on cd23. So I suppose (and hope) that the last two BDs doesn't count, so I kind of had two real attempts. It's been 7 months of ttc, 8 cycles+1 with DH out, one chemical, 5th cycle on Femara (I thought I didn't need it ;)).

How was scan Verena?
