Congrats buttercups! Remember the digitals are much less sensitive xxx

[Butterflies buttercups]

Yes I really wasn't aware of that but thinking about it I couldn't get a pos with me ds2 until I was late by 4 days so I suppose you're all right!
I'll stick with the FRERs for now !
Thank u ladies - praying for a pink sticky bean [emoji175] xxx

Good morning everyone Not much to report here, except temps are above cover line and I've been crampy since last night

I've been doing LOTS of reading and I've come to the conclusion that OPK's are not as reliable as we may think they are (not surprising of course). What shows up in urine is dependent on how a person metabolizes a hormone, kidney health and liver health. So yes, LH can show up in urine after ovulation, during ovulation and before ovulation. The best way to know for sure is bloodwork.

This is why temping, FAM and OPK's should be used in conjunction; it gives a much more clear picture of what's going on. For me, if I had been relying on OPK's alone, I would have missed my egg lol. Based on the data I've gathered the last 3 months, I seem to excrete LH when or after I O, not before or with enough of a notice to get swimmers ready.

Yeah... data collection fascinates me. What can I say. SO how is everyone? Sorry to hear about AF visiting some of you

@Maxim, what's the latest with you?
@Robin, you are awfully quiet lol
@butterfly, congrats hun! I can totally see that line on the frer.

I have nothing left to obsess over for about 5 more days... LOL. I'll start testing then. >_>

Questions:

How sensitive are wondfo's compared to frers? I've read that canadian frers are not that sensitive.... thoughts? I have 25 wondfo's

[Burakoam]

It's not that I think x or Y are any faster than the other it's that what I have seen on these boards is if you are pink friendly 1 attempt early on as ovulation is coming is good enough for pink and those who are blue friendly can get pregnant with boys just as easily that way. But maxim already has two daughters and I think she is far more worried about timing her attempt perfectly to prevent blue than she should be. I had 3 daughters and in the HE diet and swaying and conceived with a 2 day cut off and still had a girl so it's something to be said that if you already hang heavily one way or the other things probably won't work for you like they do blue or pink heavy moms. My opinion only.

Love you pbn3 so don't feel like you are being combative.. I didn't take it that way with you at all

Anyone testing with a CLear blue digital pregnancy test the regular digital that simply say pregnant or not pregnant require 25-50 at least to get a positive result. FRER can get as little as 6 according to some and I can personally confirm they pick up levels of 10 or higher for sure. Clear blue digital wth weeks estimator also picks up levels of 10 or higher and those are the clear blue digitals you see people getting early positives with

Hi ladies, good morning!

Butterfly, I can definitely see that! Amazing, congrats!!!
Cosmo, can't wait for you to test!

As for me, same...temps are low again (I think I had the two peak days due to drinking the night before) and another flashing smiley. Barukaom, your approach is so much more reasonable, but he won't go for it. DH is super happy with the two kids and it took me MONTHS to convince him to even try for a small window of time. I brought it up to him last night, and he shot it down pretty quickly. You're right, I was super laid back about trying for DD1 (had just gotten off the pill and didn't even know what we were doing), with DD2 I was still BF'ing and we weren't trying. This time around, given the timeline, it is just naturally very stressful for me. This is something that I really want and I know I have one shot at it. I'm really, really trying to just relax about it, but it's hard for me. And yes, I would LOVE nothing more than having another DD since I'm from an all girls family and know how wonderful sisters can be, but more importantly, I'd choose healthy over sex just like anyone else.

Do you guys recommend that I stop opk's and just dtd e4d to just take the stress off? Or should I keep opk's so I know to add in one additional attempt at positive? Thanks for letting me vent to you guys...

Keep them so you know you had a surg, but don't depend on them to confirm O. Do you still have ewcm?
