Absolutely. I am only 26, so age is not an issue, but I only have 4 more cycles to try, then we have to stop because of job situations. Very few sperm make it to the end, and if you dtd only once, very few might make it. But if you have VERY fertile ewcm, then dtd twice seems to cover you. I am, in the end, not going to worry too much about timing either. Just give it my best shot!

I have seen the FF boy charts too- and they basically show people trying a lot around O time. Seems to make sense.

I hear ya, girl. Well, if you really want to get pg in your next 4 shots (and I totally relate because once we ttc again in August, I am only going to try for about 3 or 4 months, then I'm officially giving up), I would do the diet 100%, I would use preseed or ew, I would take all the good cm supps like fish oil and whatnot, I would use some of the drinks to up your ph as much as you can, and after that, I would do whatever it takes to get pregnant, meaning do the SMEP plan or just dtd every other day. Seriously, my doctor told me (after 4 months of ttc with no bfp) that she wanted me to bd on this schedule: starting on CD10, every other day, so CD10, 12, 14, 16, and 18....until I feel like I ovulated. She advised to take opks and all, but just to bd every other night straight through. That is another option that is good if you are worried about your DH's sperm count.

And YESSSSS I agree, someone has got to turn up pg soon!

Oh, and Begonia....I think I had that early ewcm thing this month myself! I had it a few days ago, and it cleared up. Then, yesterday, I had massive pains in my left ovary (which is the one that was growing follies as they saw on my last u/s a couple of weeks ago, so they said I'd probably O out of the left this time....the right still had the corpus luteum on it from the miscarried pregnancy). I didn't take opks this month as we are not trying, although I kinda wish I did now so I would know better when I did O, but it doesn't really matter because we've got 2 more months to pass over my dwindling eggs!!!

Yay- the only thing I have to be worried about is DH- he gets performance anxiety- but we will probably DTD twice or so around O. I did the whole 9 yards- 100% diet for both of us, Ews- even with floods of ewcm, mucinex, ph drinks, and my ph was up to a 7- it was amazing, just no pg.

It will come!

I like that attitude, Spicy .. it will come!!! Sounds like you're doing a great sway so I think when you do get that BFP you're going to have a really good shot at a baby boy :-)

Lola I quit doing the OPK's for a few months, like Jan-April, just because I knew we weren't trying and those suckers are pricey! And I can tell usually with CP/CM at least the general time I O, so I know my LP is still good even though I have the danged spotting issue now. Ugh. Anyhow, I decided to pick them back up since I have about 4-5 months to track things again. Really want to make sure my LP is long enough but might go get my progesterone checked anyway right before we TTC.

Does anyone else find they get super hungry around their O? I always have. The week of my O I am an eating machine!

Morning friends..
Well yesterday was a horrible day (i mean, horrible emotionally) Mum has been taken in to a "safe house" with a nearby womens shelter. The people there are lovely and have so much help for her that I could not do but I feel awful. Cried alot yesterday, helped Mum move in there and my siblings. I hope she does not think we threw her out, but these people had a little unit for her to stay in for the next few weeks and will try to help find her a permanent home. I am allowed to visit when I like but not DH as men are not allowed. It feels horrible but I do believe it is for the best to get this help she needs. =(

On a brighter note, we are attempting in June! My temps are dropping so AF is on her way and it is all systems go lol. I am sooo nervous but soo excited!! So is DH =) Yesterday with all the stress I hardly ate and he made me a ham sandwich and said "Babe, you need to eat" and this morning he told me I HAVE to eat "remember" LOL!!

So only around 2-3 weeks and we may conceive a little boy - fingers crossed for us!!

I would LOVE to join in this month! But DH is a firm no on that. I try to let him think he has some weight in the decision so ... ;-) We'll wait. But now I'm wondering if I did in fact miss my O? All that EWCM is gone this am, and still no +OPK! Going to keep testing til CD14 (Friday) because in a normal cycle I usually get a +OPK on the pm of CD13. So ... maybe it is still to come? But my OPK's were getting darker and darker but not +, and then this morning it was lighter! So I'm actually glad we aren't ttc this month b/c I'd have no clue what to do.

This is just how I am this month. Got tons of EWCM (which I usually do 2-3 days before O), kept thinking I'd get a smiley face OPK, and then nothing. I should have O'd several days ago. I'm hoping to try next month and now I have no idea when to expect AF or what's going on. Frustrating!

So sorry you are having a hard time. But yay on trying next month! I hope to try next month too. Good luck!!!

Fingers crossed for us both Tiffany =)

TTC5, sorry you had a rough day! Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone! I am on Mucinex 1200/day and I still don't have much EWCM but what I have is good, and we're going to use Preseed. I think I'll do the BSF, but I have a TMI question even though I saw someone say there is no such thing on here...how far up do you go with the BSF, and do you wipe it on something, or what? I'm a little leary of doing it, I don't want to mess anything up. I had my temp drop today but no OPK + so we're going to wait for that. I'm thinking tomorrow night has got to be the night! You ladies are the best! Can't wait to share our good news (hopefully). =)

[Plum3]

Just wanted to wish all the ladies TTC this month good luck!
