Timing Question

The evening of + OPK (to try) right?

[atomic sagebrush]

That's what I'd try first after stopping with Shettles!!! I got pregnant at 41 with one attempt the day before O.

Over time of course we'd need to be proactive with upping attempts but I would personally want to try at least 1-2 months with one attempt at positive OPK before doing that.

But DO pick up with e4d after pos OPK attempt to cover you in case of delayed O!!

Thank you! + OPK tonight (yay!).

E4d... does that mean "every four days"?

[Birthfree]

OPK still darker + this morning and my temp dropped some.

I only was able to lay still for 15 min after sex yesterday evening... do you think that was long enough?

i.e. I'm just worried and wondering if I should try again. Being older and not getting pg easily this time is harder mentally to not worry.

Yes every four days from here on in just to cover you in case of delayed O.

yes, it should be long enough. Most of the sperm will have moved out of the semen into the EWCM by then.

I totally understand - it took me 6 months at 41 to get pregnant and I wondered the whole time if I was doing the right thing. But she is here and normal and perfectly healthy.

Wow im so confused with only trying once! After reading so much about shettles. I got my boy last time doing shettles trying for a girl. So only try once after abstaining for our first try and try to do it the day before ovulation

Did you try when you got the blinking smiley? Have you fallen pregnant yet? I'm confused with clear blue when we should do our one attempt, at the blinking smiley or the not flashing smiley.
