How many cycles were you ttc before you got a bfp?
Were you BDing through O?
Which CD did you ov on if you had a successful sway?
How many cycles did it take you to conceive any previous children?
If you changed your sway to conceive faster, what did you drop/add?

Ok, you probably already know my whole story my now, but just for the record:
How many cycles were you ttc before you got a bfp?
4
Were you BDing through O?
Yes (first 2 months I did a 1 day cut-off, but last 2 months BD right through O)
How many cycles did it take you to conceive any previous children?
2 for both pregnancies - and with both it was my first month charting and really trying
If you changed your sway to conceive faster, what did you drop/add?
I dropped Rephresh and Sylk + we didn't do a strict frequent BD this month
How did you notice that your fertility was lower compared to pre-swaying?
Less ewcm, wonky cycles
How many cycles were you ttc before you got a bfp? 3
Were you BDing through O? only for the last month
Which CD did you ov on if you had a successful sway?
How many cycles did it take you to conceive any previous children? 2 cycles for our first, second was a surprise (one time BD)
If you changed your sway to conceive faster, what did you drop/add? dropped lime, dropped a longer cut off, less refresh/replens
How did you notice that your fertility was lower compared to pre-swaying? i had no ewcm this last cycle and I usually have tons.
Hi Mocha :) Can I please ask what your BD schedule was? SO sorry if this is tmi. I am thinking about reducing the strick frequent BD for our next attempt.Quote:

How many cycles did it take you to conceive any previous children? 1st attempt with DS1 and DS3, 3 months for DS2.
If you changed your sway to conceive faster, what did you drop/add? N/A
How did you notice that your fertility was lower compared to pre-swaying? Possibly less EWCM but we conceived quickly so I'm not convinced my fertility WAS that low!
In all our previous cycles, dh started to release every day from CD1, then we'd start dtd for real around CD7 straight through until O (usually around CD14). This past cycle we were out of town and he missed several days of releasing. To 'catch up' I had him release twice on CD10, once in the morning on CD11, then we dtd for real that night and once every day until CD16. I O'd on either CD14 or 16 - FF keeps changing its mind on that one.
Thank you mocha!! :) :) Congrats again! :)
You prob know my story too but just to share:
4 but I wasn't ovulating - got pg my first ovulation and did not even have AF.
DS 1 - one month. DS 2 and 3 - second month. All three were with cutoffs of 2 or 3 days. Since I wasn't ovulating with DS 4, I kinda consider that to be a one month shot as well.
I took B6 and vitex to stabilize my cycles and gained some weight back again.
It wasn't. :/ I feel like, since I conceived with my first egg, it proves my fertility was not lower at all.
I feel the same - even with Rephresh, Acijel, Antihistimines etc. which should have lowered my fertility if only artificially! I also know that being fertile is not something to complain about, so I won't :DQuote:

It really is, queen! My good friend has 5 children and then had trouble conceiving her last child and she's only 32. Past history is not indicative of future results. The reverse is true as well - sometimes people who have fertility issues for years suddenly begin to conceive easily.
