If we are dtd every 4 days and get a + opk right in the middle of the 4 day wait, do we go ahead and do an extra attempt at the pos opk or wait it out?

I would wait it out or at least wait 3 days from the previous attempt. How long have you been TTC?
if you have been TTC for a really long time, yes.
if you ahve been TTC for only a few months, no
Will start next month. Thanks.

Ok, the day is approaching!! I have always cycled like clockwork, hopefully this month is the same. If I am right I should O next Tuesday. I am contemplating dtd tomorrow night(Friday) because we will be out of town over the weekend and if I ovulate early I am afraid of missing my window. Then we would dtd again Monday or Tuesday when I get a +opk. Does that sound ok? I want to catch this months pretty pink egg!!!
IT depends on what method you're doing.
Every 4 day method, you would NOT have another attempt.
Every 4 day plus one attempt at pos OPK - you WOULD have another attempt.
JUST A REMINDER - not everyone is asking about the best of the best of the best for their sway. Some people need to get pregnant more quickly or have been swaying for a long time and so those people need to be willing to have those two attempts! :)
yes sounds great.Quote:

Right but Tara, for you the rules are still different because you have been dieting for a long time and TTC for a while without success.
Diflucan is no big deal and I wouldn't worry about it for sway. Would not use if may be pregnant.
Do you have a YI??? IF so, the best remedy is using some plain yogurt with natural cultures as a cream in and around the VJ - I know it sounds gross but it is the absolute best and fastest way to clear up a YI. Works better than medication for most
Ya, I get yi really easy, not fun.... If I don't change my clothes right after working out, I get one. And swimsuit season is a nightmare! I have never herd of the yogurt trick, I will give it a try next time.
This month is my 1st month off bc and our first month trying(got pregnant with both my sons first try), so Fingers crossed that holds true this time. But I am about 20 lbs lighter than when I conceived my boys, so that may affect things.... O day should be Monday or Tuesday, my opk's are starting to get darker- so exciting. I am having a lot of cramping in my lower abdomen so I hope that's a good sign.
We dtd this morning and I laid with hips up for 5-10 min. Still no + opk, tested an hour ago, but lots of ewcm(tmi). My question is if I get a +opk tonight or tomorrow do we dtd again???
No, I'd stick to every 4 days. Don't have 2 attempts close together.
Tara, I"m on my laptop and would have to go to my other computer to look up your plan, but what does it say to do in your custom sway plan?? that is what you should be going off of, and not anything on the forums. If I recall, you've been dieting very strictly for some time and so the normal rules may not apply to you. The plan trumps everyhting on the forum because I made it with all your info right in front of me and it's just not possible for me to remember the specifics of each individual person when you ask q's in the forums. :)
Agree with atomic, if you have a personalized plan, stick to that. Second guessing it and yourself will only stress you out and can say blue.
My plan says one attempt at +opk. Nothing about every 4 days. We have been dtd every 4 days and then I was going to add an attempt at +opk.
So if we dtd this morning and then get a +opk tomorrow, do we go again tomorrow night?
Without seeing your plan I can't say for 100% but I think when Atomic says one attempt at +opk she means that all other dtd is either protected or with DH releasing outside of you. Every four days is usually the next step after a few bfns.

In that case then I would just stick to the every 4 days for now.Quote:

Keep going with every 4 days. The nice thing about that method is you can just roll with it and don't worry about the attempt at pos OPK.
That's kinda where I'm at now. Maybe the opk's are causing me to stress to much.
Thanks:)
Is this positive? We dtd last night just to be safe. When we attempt every 4 days is that day 1 dtd
Day 2 off
Day 3 off
Day 4 dtd again or off??Attachment 21689
Lots of cramping the last couple of days and almost no cm....
tara - the most conservative for pink would be DTD off off off DTD (ie 3 days off between attempts), but this all depends on how long you've been trying.
If you're doing just every 4 days you don't need to worry if it's positive or not.
If you want best odds of pink make it a true every 4 days. IF you want better odds of conception, bump it up by a day.
DTD day 1
day 2 off
Day 3 off
day 4 off
DTD again
That is the true every 4 day way. I use the same OPKs. Your CD23 ones look like my positives usually do, though they don't appear to be true positives in the traditional sense. But they may be positive for you....have you had darker lines using that brand?
Attachment 21758
This is my cd 24 opk, i had some really good cramping that morning, so in my head I O'd then. I took one later in the day and the test line was even darker, hope that was positive enough.
I wish I would have asked the 4 day question sooner. We dtd, off, off, dtd - Great.....
I think every 3 days is still pretty pink. Cd24 looks truly positive so you should O in 1-2 days.
:agree: with this and I have quite a few people DTD every 3 days for pink.Quote:

I don't think you ruined things! You may have either Oed late or had a false surge. Either way, I think you are fine! FX!!!!

That can happen at 7-8 DPO because of the secondary estrogen surge, which is just this little boost of estrogen your body releases to maintain the lining. Can make a fals pos OPK for some people if they send out some LH at the same timeQuote:

Sometimes soy can help, for others it is like throwing gas on a fire.
How many days have passed since you got the pos OPK tests?
I used soy with ds2 and got a +opk on cd12.
This cycle I got positive opk's cd23 & 24, I quit testing after I got a negative on cd25. For the heck of it I tested on cd32 or 33 and the lines were the same darkness. I haven't tested since then.
Also, my husband has been doing the ole and licorice root. With the licorice root I had him just do two weeks on , two weeks off. Now that my cycle is all out of wack, should he just continue 2 on 2 off, or do we need to adjust that as well?
It is supposed to be the first two weeks of your cycle on, then the rest of your cycle off even if it goes a rreally long time.
How out of whack are we talking here and refresh my memory, what is his age and how many months/cycles have you been giving it to him>
He is 30 and he has been in it about 8-9 weeks
You mean 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off though right?? So 4 complete cycles???
He can go for another 2 cycles and then needs a break anyway.
I know for you Tara this is irrelevant (because of BFP) but just want to keep this accurate for others.
Yes, that's what I meant .
My ob had me take another blood test this afternoon, so waiting to hear back from that before I get too excited! Thank you for all your help and support, you are truly a blessing:)
Keeping everything crossed for you, Tarasue! I HOPE it comes back positive!
