Don't feel bad hgmama!! As long as you're taking folate/folic acid you're fine! No one who has an unexpected pregnancy (accident [emoji85]) has conceived taking prenatals and look how successful they are! I conceived after stopping mine and drinking faaaarrr too much strong coffee and wine yet my dd is alive and well. Not saying at all to do what I did but just trying to say prenatals will not make or break a pregnancy [emoji173]Quote:

So your opk still looks pretty negative to me BUT I don't particularly like going off 11am'ish tests. I think wait and see how your 3pm'ish test looks and go from there. Alternatively start e4d instead but the pinker version of 96 hours between attempts rather than 76. So if you had an attempt cd16 hold out and have another cd20. This version cuts conception odds but is slightly more pink than the 72 hour version.
Just curious, but atomic usually recommendeds one attempt at pos opk for at least the first couple cycles? You mentioned you're on your first cycle trying, are you not going to give one attempt at pos opk a go?
I’m not sure what they are like, I’ve only done 2, this time round, with my boys they were very low, but I was temping orally too.Quote:

I’m thinking so too, oops yeah I took it out, because ff was sending me messages to change my indicator (or something like that) to opks ( obviously just as confused me lol )Quote:

Hopeful the other possibility could be you oed cd14 and had a fallback rise cd16 (which is quite common). Without more charts and data it's impossible to say but at this stage you could be either 2dpo or 4dpo. Looking at when you got your pos opk now changes my certainty of you being 2dpo to a 50/50 with 4dpo.... sorry that's not overly helpful but I like to considernall possibilities [emoji16]
Hopeful what happens if you tick the 'discard' temp box for cd13?
Ok so I did that and there was no changes, but then I went and deleted it all together (yeah yeah I know, so stupid) lucky I have it in my period tracker - which mind you, it says I ov on day 16. So I go back in and get my temp and put it in..... umm cross hairs go, but now I’m looking at the chart and think !! Damn it! I think I have put in the wrong temps [emoji30][emoji17][emoji17]Quote:

Hopeful here's a screenshot of what it was if you want to change it back. If it doesn't shift your crosshairs in a couple days we can loo at changing your chart analysis settings. If you go into your settings you'll see a an option there for it [emoji4]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5cad458f84.jpg
Hopeful this is a screenshot of your last cycles chart and you did have somewhat of a fallback rise (albeit a small one). So definately possible you *could be 4dpo....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54d5bbe995.jpg
Thank you, I’ll use my screen shot to go and re enter it. Thank you again, it’s so helpful xQuote:

I googled (of course) and read that after a chemical temps may stay high for a bit (so now I am convinced u were right about it being a chemical). Anyway, is it ok to go ahead with the femara and attempt this cycle or should we skip it ?
My crosshairs have now disappeared and FF and I are doubting that I actually Oed. If I wasn't temping I would say I Oed on the 6th based on +opk and pain. But temps are not convincing. [emoji848][emoji34]. Maybe tomorrow will bring better temps or I'll find out in about a week. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2902816df1.jpg
Jgojah you absolutely don't need to skip a cycle! As for your temps they will drop over the next few days I'm sure, I'm not aware if femara can cause falsely high temps like clomid can but just keep going as you are and we'll see what happens temp wise over the next week. Can you post a link to your chart?
Hmmm [emoji848] could be a random dip but I guess it's just a wait and see what happens now... aarrrgghh the frustration of the 2ww [emoji30]Quote:

Well as expected it’s bfn on a frer so it was another false positive for me. I’m not sure how I can be so unlucky! Anyway, I’m at a party tomorrow where everyone will be drinking and I’m not sure what to do. I can’t keep putting my life on hold every month (it’s been over two years now) but then again, I would be devastated if I did drink and then got a bfp the next day. I guess what I’m asking is, is it likely that I am pregnant? Given that we only dtd once, probably 3 days before. Aargh it’s all too tricky!

I vote drink. Maybe one last IC before going and if negative, then go enjoy yourself.Quote:

So many kiddos are born with their parents not knowing for the first month or two about their existenceQuote:

Likely will be positive when I test tomorrow afternoon.
Attempt was Wednesday morning around 8am. I can't realistically attempt again until tomorrow (Saturday) 8pm due to lack of time/privacy.
Please cross your fingers for me on the timing of this attempt!

Well Pbn3, you were right , crosshairs came up on CD 14 this morning. Oh and I realised they are solid? [emoji4]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...753aac54bd.png

Mummy2boys I agree with Gafan about enjoy some drinks, I'd even say 3 or 4 but wouldn't binge drink. You are only 9dpo so if you are pregnant there's little chance it'll affect anything. You need to decide though if you're comfortable with that scenario [emoji4] Like you said, how long can you keep putting life on hold???!! If it was me I would drink but sensibly.Quote:

To all the ladies in the tww, it is so frustrating trying to figure things out, I wish it were all straight forward, clear & smooth for all of you.
To everyone in attempt mode, bring in those blazing positive opks & fun times in the bedroom, or wherever takes your fancy [emoji6]
And to pbn thank you for all your help & support, amazing!
ABC how did your scan go?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/35220b
Hopeful, depending on what your temps do over the next few days they may shift again but cd14 is actually a good possibility. Cant wait to see!! At this stage o could have been either cd14 or cd16 but I'm leaning towards cd14.... [emoji4] this could change though after a couple more temps [emoji23]
ABCs scan went WELL! Doubly well!
Take a look at her post in the jan feb march due date group.
I wouldn't worry about 3 or 4 too if that's a normal amount for you or if it's a long party with food. I agree about doing what feels OK to you, so you enjoy the event and don't worry too much later. I hope you have fun, mummy2boys.Quote:

Last time I went on vacation to beach and ate a lot I ended up getting pregnant with a sway opposite a month or two later. This time I hope for a good sway but will be OK with a healthy baby boy or girl.

Thank you ladies for the quick responses. Love the support and positivity here.
Here's an update I want to share.
It's CD 18, late night and still - ve opk, but lines are getting darker than earlier.
So I'm guessing tomorrow (CD 19) by evening, I should be showing a +ve OPK, which means I will likely ovulate on CD 20. My BD attempt from CD 16 is likely pointless, given the current scenario. I think it also really lowers my chances of conception.
I will plan to BD tomorrow night. This puts me at an attempt on + ve OPK AND follows 72 hours since earlier attempt, which is hopefully still pink friendly.
Wish me luck! Kicking myself for BDing on CD16 (last month I got +ve opk on CD 17, and hence the stupid decision). I really wanted one attempt, but looks like I have to have 2 attempts this cycle. I hope the 72 hours will help alleviate this in some way!
Pink fairy dust to you all :-)

Atomic recommends the 72hour version to a lot of people, I think all or most of us here do 72hour when doing e4d’s. Slightly less pink but higher conception. Wishing you so much luckQuote:

Aargh girls I don’t know what to do! Just used a cheapie as no frer left to do final check before drinking commences and it has a faint line. I’ve done three more and the same result. I should believe the frer right?!

Hmmmm..... with your history of cheapies.... have you switches brands? Different batch? I'd believe the FRER, but my friend just told me about her experience and a particular brand picked up her positive before FRER.Quote:
