Last minute timing question - blue

[atomic sagebrush]

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.

I really believe that there is something to reg. exposure to hubby's semen swaying blue. I think it's a bad move when blue swayers avoid sex because they're scared of DTD before O day, because the hormones in semen may be sending some signal to your body that daddy is around and that seems to sway blue for reasons we don't totally understand. (not that daddy is not around for people with lots of girls, of course)

Anyone want to help out with this month, too?

Look at me, I'm even temping (poorly)

This is an unusually long time for me to be waiting for an opk. My longest wait to O has been at cd18. So I have every right to believe that I should get a +opk tomorrow, buuuut I may not. We Dtd this morning since it was a Dtd-day and if it was + we could have done twice today. But alas, it wasn't.

So the question that I'm going back and forth on is if I should Dtd tomorrow morning, trusting that I should get a +opk, allowing me to Dtd twice. Or should I just wait for it to happen, which means that if I don't Dtd, and it is positive, I will only Dtd once tomorrow.

Man, when did ttc become a science? Lol

(Auto correct capitalizes Dtd for some reason, lol)

This post was moot. Dh has requested sleep, lol.

Your frequency pattern is such that even if you only were to get in one atempt at pos. opk, you'd really have TWO in your fertile window, because you are DTD every other day which is great!!! So no matter what you'll be in with 2 attempts, if you can get 3, even better, but 2 attempts is still better than one!

Well, it's negative again! This is crazy! The lines are soooo dark, but the darn digi still won't give me a face.

Dh is working an all-nighter after working all day (6-4 today, and 9pm tonight-3pm tomorrow), chances a he's going to be full of insane amounts of caffeine...will he be killing all my healthy sperm tonight?

(Eta, I know that the above isn't true, just felt a little irrational when typing it out)

He can't help that an emergency came up and he needs to work, but I'm seriously bummed by this. He has informed me that next month we will not be Dtd before his triathlon because I zap all the energy from him and he wants to do well, and the month afterwards he has a mud-run and the story will probably be the same I'm feeling like if I don't make it happen this month, I'm going to have terrible chance at making a proper sway attempt. And if that's the case, why the heck did I even bother to learn all this stuff? Ugh!

Oh I know rabbit it's soo frustrating. My husband just says it shouldn't be this way, it dhould be relaxing and just having fun and doing it when we want lol but then we would for sure gave our fourth girl, although dh doesn't care it's more me try not to stress as hard as it is. My dh loves running races Nd stuff as well and is a firefighter so works night shifts and of course was doing night shifts when I o'd this cycle so we just did our best and what will be will b e. that is all we can do. You can vent to me more if you want good luck.

The caffeine isn't ideal but it's not going to kill everything off. When it comes to swaying, all you can do is all you can do, and there's no changing it. I actually think that your sense of urgency is good for your blue sway (that's kinda the way the boy moms feel most of the time about everything) and while it's not fun, it may be a sign that your sway is working.

I am crossing fingers and toes that it works out and you guys get some good attempts in, culminating in BFP!!

Well, he didn't end up having much coffee (and complained loudly about it). And now we have a night to ourselves, but still no +opk.

Is it possible I won't ovulate this month?

[Rabbitmama85]

FINALLY!+opk

[atomic sagebrush]

It's possible to not ovulate but if you are a blue swayer and you stop ovulating, we need to reevaluate what is going on, because that indicates you are getting PCOS-tendencies going on from TOO high testosterone and we need to tweak diet and supps.
