Last minute timing question - blue

[ELP]

Just adding I was a FIRM believer in dtd after O sways pink! I managed to catch DH once, over 24hrs after +opk tiny jump and dump attempt grrr! Its a boy! The diet, supps, body muscle improvement is the priority, and as an extra bonus if you and DH can manage to fill the crypts plenty before that egg pops out then that is a great place to be aswell, especially for peace of mind! After all each dtd can send millions of swimmers that way each time, millions!!!! LOL!!

I'm so exhausted!

Thursday night, Friday 4am and then late Friday night (dd didnt go to bed until late), then 4 am again today and I about cried when my opk was positive again this morning. I know it's still early, but man...making a baby when you already have a baby is really tiring. I just want to crawl back in bed and sleep for the rest of the day!

I should add that I've been working out 3 days a week, using preseed during the day, drinking lots of lemon water and coconut water, and really trying to eat more...but mostly just trying to keep myself from getting hungry...I sort of fail at the extra calories...sorry! I, generally, feel much better about myself going into this pregnancy. My BMI is now at 23 it was 26 when ttc dd.

Hey rabbit, what do you mean by using preseed in the day? I thought you were supposed to use in before attempt?

[Rabbitmama85]

It was too much for me before attempt, so I would do some a couple of hours before attempt...maaaaybe a little about an hour before attempt, it just depended on how much I had going on "down there". I've been putting a little in each day for the last week even if there was no attempt to raise pH and j ust generally keep things moving. Don't know if that's "right" or "wrong" but it felt right.

[Rabbitmama85]

And yay! My opk was negative. I can sleep tonight!

[ELP]

LOL, have a nice rest

It doesn't matter how long your OPK stays positive for - you have prob. already ovulated. IT's 8-48 hours after your first positive OPK, regardless of how long they stay positive for.

No one knows if any of this is "right or wrong" and that is almost certainly different for each couple anyway, so everyone should do what feels right to them!!!

Okay so we've been doing every other day, +opk yesterday, so last night, this morning, and plan for again tonight and tomorrow morning, but what should I do after that? Should I sqeeze another one in tomorrow night (if negative) or should I give dh a break and go again the following day and resume every 2-4 days after that?

Here's my pretty chart of x's (see below, the ff link didn't show my x's)

Next month will be our first TTC month and we are also swaying for a boy. I am a little confused about your timing. Are you DTD every other day from AF-O and then doing it twice a day once you got your +OPK? Also if you were DTD from AF-O were you letting DH release inside of you? I am asking simply because I am still trying to figure out what I want to do for my sway.

[Rabbitmama85]

I did do every other day AF-O without protection. I knew when I would get my +opk, so I planned accordingly. So Tuesday we bd, then I got my positive opk Thursday so we had pm bd, then Friday we had early (4:30am) bd, then again Friday night, then Saturday morning (again 4:30 am...so as to not be interrupted by toddler) i got my negative digital opk (cheapie was still saying positive, but i trust the digital brand more...)so I stopped, and now I'm 5dpo and we bd again just to keep DH's supply healthy in case we missed the last egg.

I did the timing last time and only bd without protection after +opk and ended up with a girl, so I was more okay with not bothering with that plan after reading the information on here. Lots of other stuff has changed for me (diet, exercise) so why not try something different this time

Here is with dd (notice the nice "i get a great night's sleep" temping, lol). I honestly didn't think I caught the egg this time around, so was surprised when my AF didn't show up when it was supposed to.

Here is this attempt for blue

I'm basically following the advice I got here and hoping for the best. I don't have the time or energy to do all the research on my own, so I paid for my personal thingy. So all fingers crossed that it works out
