TTC girl- August 2012

[LO123]

Hi Ladies, thanks for the birthday wishes. Had a nice day and enjoyed my dinner. I am lucky my mum knows about all this swaying I am doing and asked what I wanted for dinner. I gave her some recipes and she cooked that for me. It wasn't exactly LE but it still kept to the main principles.

I think my DH is getting fed up already. I keep texting him to check he is doing FR as he is away. Today he text me back that I am desperate. I am sure he meant it as a joke but it did upset me a little and I felt like saying don't you know how much this means to me.... Anyway today is BDing day, so after tonight I will leave him alone...well atleast to next cycle if I don't fall this one.

Callmecrazy, I would take that as positive for sure...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, P4P!!!! Hope you have an AWESOME day

Hey, are most of you guys going for frequent bd up to positive OPK or through Ovulation? Or a once off with cut off? Dh and I are 35 and doing FR but am not sure about actual timing. Have been ttc for the last 4 months with o+12 with no success! Thanks a lot!

O +12 makes it very hard to get preggo, and especially with your age, I would definitely do FR and BD through O if you can. I had a 2 day cut off last cycle but had a BFN. DH is 37, I am 33 but he can't do the daily FR, so he released the day before our attempt and that was it. Still got a BFN, but must have been the other things that reduced sperm count. It's so frustrating getting those BFNs, but hope it's worth it!

I agree with genie!
heidih1977 -- o+12 is tricky and can be next to impossible to catch. Infact most women who think they hit o+12, really just dtd on o day. Many women cannot pinpoint exact timing of ovulation -- only the day when we are lucky. And after 12 hours, most eggs are already starting to break down and will no longer be fertilized.

If you really want a cut off, then I would dtd frequently (daily) making your last attempt on +opk night.
If you can let go of timing -- because it does not sway -- then I would either dtd daily thru o -- or -- dtd +opk night and the 2 following nights. Chances are that is really only 2 attempts b/c by the 3rd night you would most likely have ovulated already and the egg would be fertilized.

If you want a 1 time only attempt -- then best bet is to dtd on +opk day or the day after. You want the sperm there waiting for the egg -- its your best shot at pg.
If you are doing the diet very strict and have been for at least 6 weeks -- then definitely do multiple attempts. The diet is doing your sway for you anyway -- all the dtd stuff may amount to like 1% of your sway really.

Hi Lassie! CD10 for me!! Woohoo! Had a follicle check today. Had 2 great looking follicles. I will dtd tomorrow night. I will do a Trigger injection to release eggs Saturday morning. Doctor told me to dtd Sat night, sunday monrning, sunday night, monday morning!! Yay can't wait. Glad your here with me. I REALLY feel this month is going to get me my BFP. I really hope I'm not setting myself up for dissappointment, but I feel really strongly.

I've been experimenting with Rephresh and I find it works well for me but makes it tough to monitor the CM because it causes a curdled milk CM. (tmi) YUCK! This swaying stuff is exciting but nerve-wracking! I've been researching for months! Good luck to you all, pink dust for everyone!

I am so glad you posted this! I noticed the same weird curdled milk type CM after using Rephresh. I thought I was just having some sort of weird reaction to it. It makes me feel better knowing that someone else has had that experience as well.

I hope you all don't mind me jumping in on this thread this late in the month. I am still waiting to O at this point hopefully it will be in the next few days. I'm excited at the prospect of getting PG again but also nervous about everything being okay and then of course wondering if the things I've been doing to sway pink will work at all. Anyone else still waiting to O?
