Ok, i'm in a dilemma so need some advice. I havent yet got a + opk but ewcm still there, today is day 3 abstinance for DH & i was hoping to have a + opk tomorrow & that would have been perfect for spermies but now i'm not sure when i'll get a +opk so the question is, should i dtd tomorrow & then again when i get +opk which could be any day or should i get DH to release & hope that when i get +opk he'd have had a few days to load up. Confussed & this happens all the time

babyD I'd wait til tomorrow and dtd regardless of + or not, that would be a perfect 4 day for DH

HEY everyone! I have unfortunately not been on vaca, rather just insanely busy with work and DH is out of town, making things extra fun. AND my 12 year old dog just had surgery and has cancer, so been taking care of lots of little people and 4-legged people also. I think AF is coming soon, I feel crappy, haven't had pms for a while now.

SO excited for all of the attempts! I just read through 10 pages or so you chatty chicas, so do have a couple of comments:

2ww- I would not take anything but the prenatals during this time, just to be safe, but this is my opinion. It's totally fine to have a break between attempts anyway. Lots of ladies vary, though...definitely no bsd or hormonal supps, I think it is fine to keep doing green tea and diet and all, of course, but I stop with the supps just to be on the safe side.

Ew and bsf.....I remember the guru on IG telling me in all caps to NOT mix bs and ew, that it does something funny to the mixture and makes the sperms heads explode. I was like WHAAAA???? But, you can mix preseed and bs for sure. Now, you guys remember me telling you all that I did ew for 5 months and bfns....BUT what makes me wary is that I also did a bsf, so in essence, I was mixing the two. I think it is very bad advice to do ew and bsf, because you ARE mixing it! I think I was killing all of DH's sperm. Then, the two months we get pg, like bam and bam, it was with preseed and bsf. So, just beware. I think that if you do ew, the ph is so high that you don't need to do a bsf. I would do one or the other. Just beware!

Mucinex vs. Robitussin- I personally take the mucinex tabs, because I hate drinking icky cough syrup, and I just take the tab about an hour before attempt. I wouldn't think there is much of a difference, because they both contain 400mg guifanesin. But, liquid will of course absorb a bit faster, which is why I give the tabs an hour to take effect.

And thanks for the compliments, Iluv....it's crazy how much I know about this since I've been doing it so long now. Sheeshhhh.

Babydes, glad to hear you are having some ew! Yay! I bet you are droppin' some eggs, girl!

Oh, and who had the bloody cm? That is ok, when you release and egg, sometimes a little blood can come out, it just means that you probably ovulated. I recall reading that in TCOYF or something. Maybe google it.....

Anyway, hope you girls are doing ok. I am focusing on life and losing this weight right now. I want to drop the 25 lbs in the next 5 weeks, then I'll get back on the diet in a nice moderate fashion for about 6 weeks. I just got out my summer clothes and NOTHING from last summer fits, not one pair of my bottoms at all. So depressing. I hope someone gets a bfp really soon....sending positive baby vibes out to all of the attempts and 2wwers right now!!!

I agree, do it now with all the ewcm, then do it again about 12-18 hours after your +opk shows up. If you are not close with the fade-ins, you'll probably have a + with a nice 2-3 day abstinence in between. Can't remember if you are trying the one shot deal or not.....

We are a May TTC-er and my cycle is so messed up. I am on CD 21 and I'm just now getting close to a + but regarding the OPK line, one side of the line is as dark or darker than the control, but the other side is lighter. Would you consider that a + or -? I know it's got to be close but don't want to jump the gun! We hope the often BDing will do the trick, along with the supps, diet, preseed, and deep penetration. The timing think just didn't work out this month! We're so fertile, I'm pretty confident we'll get a BFP this month, otherwise I'd just scrap it and try to just hit O day next month! Thanks for the help!!

Hi All, Hope you are all doing well ..I've been away for a few days..I am really not feeling well. After all the hard work I done since my m/c in March, I can't even O anymore so I can't make an attempt. I'm on CD 36 and no sign of O. And after everything I've been through since I started swaying we decided no more ttc for us. I don't know If I will try again, but for right now I am just sad for everything I did, it went for nothing. I got so fat from the diet I spent a lot of money for nothing. I can't keep doing this anymore

I can't believe May is almost over, my gosh the year is flying by!!!

How are the tww ladies doing?

Lola, how are you my love?

I can't believe April is over and May is almost over and I can't make just one attempt. CRAZY.

I would consider it ALMOST positive....give it another day or two....I always get a day of them looking like that, but then they are truly darker, no question about it, in a day or two!

begonia- we sort of decided at the last minute to do it lol here's the gist of it

O-2 and O day, I've been eating paleo the last few weeks which is high protein, high fat, tons of veg and a bit of fruit, no grains but tons of calories and snacking. No potatoes but lots of avacados, beets & bananas. I've been doing pilates with weights, lot's of tea, tons of ewcm and bsf. I have no tests and won't be poas for 2 wks. so I don't obsess about any faint lines or evaps.

Good luck, FX!

Hey lady.....I am so sorry your body is not cooperating....I know how frustrating it is, especially after a m/c. I am feeling rather whatever about ttc again myself. I think we are going to try for 3 months, then give up after that. If you are at wit's end, I think you are making the right decision to let go of it (even if for now, for this year, whatever it may be), and put your focus into something else. I know it's been a while for us, and it does really wear you down to ttc, and to add swaying in there, it really consumes your life. I hope you are doing ok.....pm me if you want....I totally get how you feel. xoxo
