I'd go for it, too! I'm gonna try for our attempt tonight as well. cd12 for me. Fingers crossed! I think the vitex is changing my cycles and I'm o'ing earlier...or not o'ing at all. Lol! I think it's usually better to bd a little early than late tho because the swimmers can stick around for up to 5 days, but the egg only last around 12 hours.
I am getting super excited for our attempt (whether it be in May or June)...I wish it would come faster!

Was our timing good? Were we too late?
We bd last night and the opk looked like the first picture min before we bd.
Next morning ( 14 hours later) opk is faded.

I think that looks absolutely fine. Good luck x
Healthy girl-Looks like a great attempt to me!
Mommymachine- I know, may is getting really close! I actually have only one week before I start my boy diet!!
Girliedreamz- that's super exciting! Fx for you!!! :)
Ok ladies, I need some advise!! My period was a couple days earlier this past month, but ff says I'm suppose to ovulate tomorrow but I have no ewcm! The last few months I've had tons! Does that mean that my cycle is staying the same and I won't ovulate for a few more days? The only reason I'm worried is b/c in May, around the time we will ttc, we are going out of state.... If ff is right, then we will be fine, if it's a week later, then it won't work!!! What do you guys think?
Healthygirl, it looks great to me!
Ash, sometimes the ewcm can start on the day of ovulation. I wouldn't be too worried. My cycles are super irregular. Sometimes I have ewcm twice a month and sometimes I don't have any. I would chalk it up to stress from starting your diet in a week. Stuff like that can throw off your cycle. I wouldn't worry too much about it though.
Ash, don't worry about it. You are starting a diet and supplements, this can make it a little bit irregular. It doesn't necessary mean it will be off schedule in May.
Are you taking opks?
Thanks ladies, no I'm not doing the opks right now but I have them.... I was planning on starting to test next month but should I test today? My cycle was 26 days but then last month was 25 days so it threw the fertile week in May to a week earlier.... But then this surprise reunion was decided yesterday and I just don't think we would be able to dtd when we are there b/c my girls will be with us! Now that's only if it goes back to 26 days.... If it stays at 25 days we will be fine..... Should I look at ttc in June instead?? I think I will test today with opks, otherwise this will drive me nuts!!
I had the same feeling, totally understand how it feels. I personally wouldn't postpone it only because the more you are on the diet the more likely you are to gain wait. At least that what is happening with me right now(16 pounds, oops). I also struggled to make it perfect and you know the outcome. I don't think we can make every singe detail perfect, which drives me nuts:hair: When we attempted my O also was two days earlier, I didn't expect it but had to work it out even it was extremely hard. Can a bathroom be an option during the reunion :hug2:
You can always just DTD every four days and not bother using OPKs
Very true! I'm really scared about weight gain b/c it's so easy for me to gain & super hard to lose!! Haha, I thought about the bathroom, maybe we can make a bed in the tub!! ;) thanks for talking about this with me, feeling better about it and will move forward as planned! I did test but was negative... Might have missed the surge since was suppose to O today... How long would a OPK stay positive? It would be my luck that I delayed O with all my stressing!
Weeziewoozies~ I'm swaying blue, so would like to do opks so I can get the 3-5 attempts :) I'm not evening attempting till May but my silly period threw all my planning off :( but everything will work!!! I think, lol
Mine stayed positive about a day or so, I am testing 3-4 times starting CD 8-9. You can even get one pos OPK it is still enough. Good luck! Everything will be great:)
OPK will be positive usually 36 hours before your O not after.
So I probably missed it... I'm going to stop stressing and just see when my period starts! I was suppose to start testing a couple days ago.... Oh well!
How long is your cycle sc1411?
28 days
Mine is usually 26 days but can go as low 24!!
I don't think it matters for swaying:)
Sorry for the frustration, Ash! I may be in the minority, but OPKs have been unreliable for me. The two months I did get preg, we dtd WAY before +OPK. I just went by cm. When we dtd on +OPK day, bfns all the way. No clue why. But every woman and every cycle are different. (And I use digital OPK because I'm lazy and kinda anal about accurate results--yes, I own my Marthaness!--so there's really no guesswork in when they're positive.)
We dtd last night...attempt one, down! Yay! I'm a little nervous that it was too late. Can I claim stupid that I didn't look at my calendar so haven't been testing with OPKs until now? Ha! (See, I'm *trying* to tone down my Marthaness!) Getting negatives, but I'll keep testing for a few days. If I get a +, I will for sure be doing another attempt in a few days. But according to cm, I might have been too late. Oh well. January would be a nice month to have a baby girl too... :)
Thx Girliedreamz, & that's super exciting about having your first attempt!! Fx and pink dust to you!! Keep us updated :)
Yay, Girliedreamz!! How exciting!! :D
I feel like our attempt is so close and yet so far!! It's driving me crazy.
Hi ladies, this is my last cycle trying for a while (I will possibly try in late June if my cycĺes stay on track for an approximate April 1st DD, otherwise I'll be TTA until December). So I'm really hoping I get pregnant this cycle but I'm not hopeful - my LP has been on the short side recently. Plus I've been trying for 8 cycles and not even a hint of a pregnancy so I think there is likely a major issue with DF if there isn't one with me.
Ash, I hope you haven't missed O! What CD are you on?
Healthy, your timing sounds perfect.
girlie, we are almost cycle buddies, I am a day ahead on CD14 and also had my first attempt yesterday. I am doing BD every 3 days, possibly more often, I'm trying to be more relaxed this month and maximize my chances. I hope I will O on CD16-18 based on my cervix but my OPKs haven't darkened AT ALL since I started testing several days ago. :( Still only a very light 2nd line. If I don't O by CD20 I will stop TTC as I don't want a late Dec DD.
Does anyone know how bad moderate to heavy drinking is for sperm? Like 2-6 drinks 3x a week? He needs to get a SA done soon too, like next Monday. We both had blood drawn for testing last week at the RE and our follow up to discuss test results is on April 7th.
Maiden- don't worry about opks! I never got a positive this cycle that I got my BFP! I had to go by my temps and CM.
FX and [emoji120]for you!

Hi Maiden!! I really don't know what cd I'm on b/c I'm not planning on actually ttc till may... Just freaking out b/c I don't think I O'd yet b/c if no cm and that throws off my date of O in May... I wouldn't really care about that but just learned that we are going to a family reunion where we will have no privacy... So instead of stressing about dates in May, I think I'm going to try to lose a few more lbs before I gain on the boy diet, and go for a June attempt!! I think that would be way more relaxed and since this is our last baby I want it to be special, not stressful!!
Also fx fx that this is your month!! I'm not sure about the drinking thing, but would assume that drinking like that could affect some guys fertility more then others.... Would prob be worth a shot for him to slow down and see what happens :) best of luck to you!!
I'm back!! My husband got back from deployment a few weeks ago and I'm due to ovulate in 2 or 3 days :) so excited to be back on this site!
Hi seabeewife!! Do you live in Colorado? And good luck & pink dust to you!!
Just jumping in to say hi seabeewife!!! We were on the same TTC/TWW month threads several times before. Good luck to you!Quote:

No I wish I lived in Colorado Ash! I'm just a bronco fan of 17 years :) once my hubby is out of the military we plan on moving there though!
Ess how are you?! I missed all you ladies on here!
Love the Broncos too! And you should, it's beautiful here!! :)
Was it maiden who asked about drinking? My dh drinks a lot...like a lot. Lol! (Former bartender and cocktail connoisseur.) His sperm is a-okay as far as get getting the egg. (1 condom baby—yes actually through the condom!, 1 oops baby, 2 sway pregnancies this past year.) Not sure if that always holds true, but it hasn't hurt him any.
Seabee—good to see you back!
Well, I got +OPK yesterday...2 days after our attempt, so I'm hoping some of those swimmers are sticking around. I really have a super loose sway happening, so I'm reluctant to attempt again until tomorrow (day 4). Hoping we didn't *just* miss it this month. I'd love a Christmas girl!
Just crashing in to say Seabee good to see you back!!
Thank you kitkat!
I hope I fall pregnant this month.. my husband leaves for training next cycle :worry: kinda hard to get pregnant when your DH is ALWAYS gone.
I'm ok. I had a miscarriage back in October at 7 weeks, I'm not sure if you were around then. DH is adamant on not having any more kids and even went for a vasectomy consultation 2 weeks ago. I'm trying to hold him off and since I refuse to go back on the pill he's been using the pull out method and occasionally condoms. So I'm just crossing my fingers that just one sperm gets through before he pulls out. So I'm definitely not hardcore swaying or anything since my chances are slim, but I'm still keeping to 2 meals a day, not snacking, taking fiber gummies, drinking alcohol, and DH is still taking OLE (he'll take anything I give him without asking questions). I found out I was extremely iron deficient after my loss, so I'm eating red meat again and taking mega doses of iron daily. I had to get healthy again. I was also low in vitamin D and magnesium after being on LE diet for so long.Quote:
