Help when do I bd and can I count my opk using fmu as positive.

[BZ88]

I'm so confused. My cbfm didn't give me a peak yesterday even though I swear I saw 2 bold lines. Problem was I had to wait to put it in the machine because it was not my test window. By the time I put it in it had dried and then didn't look as bold.

Please look at my opk. The bottom one is this morning. As you can see yesterday the fmu one was really bright but then the rest of the day fainter. I don't know what I should rely on to determine if I am going to ovulate and when I should bd. also I had a good glob of ewcm yesterday about 230pm. Still have some this morning. So should we have some afternoon delight or wait until this evening or tomorrow morning.
We are ttc a boy

The bottom one doesn't look positive to me but the one in the middle does. When did you take it? I would go ahead and have an attempt today and maybe tomorrow another one.

That middle one was fmu yesterday. But I am not sure I can count it because it was fired morning urine. What should I do?

If you think you got a positive (and I agree the one you are mentioning, the FMU one from yesterday does look positive) then I would DTD NOW!!

I really, really, really advise against trying to do this timing stuff when TTC a boy. You do not need to wait till the day of ovulation to BD for a boy. It's fine to DTD in the days leading up to ovulation. I would have had you BD when you thought you had the positive. I actually think you may be out this month (unless you can DTD like immediately) because the sperm aren't going to have time to get to the egg. Going off what you said I'm assuming it's afternoon where you are, and if you want to be sure to avoid O+12 (I do not think this sways, but I know that many people wnat to avoid it) I would not have you DTD any later than tonight and even that is a bit risky. Do not DTD tomorrow if you are at all worried about O+12.

Your positive only has to show up once - you don't need to have pos OPK for days at a time for ovulation to occur. It's like running a race and crossing a finish line - once you cross the finish line, you have won the race. You'll O 8-48 hours after that first positive test.

Thanks. Mission accomplished.

I apologize for the lecture because I then went onto read your other post where you clearly state you had already done an attempt...sorry it is impossible for me to keep track of everything.

[BZ88]

No worries I appreciate the feedback. I did another attempt this morning. My temps were wonky this morning I temp at 600 and it was 97.7 then again at 8 it was 98.5 so I am hoping I haven't ovulated plus I still had some ewcm this morning.

I think your temps can go up from other things once you're awake - it's only that first thing in the morning temp that counts. Good luck and blue dust.
