Skyblue honestly you have two extremely well timed attempts and IMO couldn't do much better. The thing is, if you oed yesterday then a 3rd attempt last night would have made no difference as the egg will have already been fertilised or it would be very unlikely it will have survived long enough to be fertilised. The third attempt is really just a piece of mind attempt in case o is late as such. You should be very excited with your attempts, I think you have this in the bag! (And I'm not just trying to cheer you up, I would be honest if I thought otherwise ) Hugs right back at ya!!

You are too sweet for words. I m still thinking about the 3rd attempt since that didn't happen. Also Atomic advised me to have the 3rd attempt soon for the exact reason you gave which is late O. The thing is that Dh is working late and I don't know if we will be able to get that attempt in. He had to work tonight of all the nights.
I guess we will see in ten days now. Can't Thank all the lovely ladies here. Fx fx for all. You will be entering the 2WW tomorrow. Right. GL with your attempt tonight. Hope you are doing better now.

Don't think I'll bother with an attempt tonight as I'm pretty sure my 2 attempts have me covered. I'm still abit crook and so tired after a bad nights sleep 😕 if I don't see a temp rise in the morning I'll dtd again tomorrow

Try and put your attempts out of mind. If you think you would feel better about things try and get a chance to bd late tonight by doing all the work so to speak! Otherwise try and take comfort that you have two very well timed attempts (I said in an earlier post the exact attempts that my ds2 was conceived from ) Thank you for all your well wishes and support in turn xxoo I'm loving this 2ww group and just wish we could all end up in the same ddg!!

Edited to add: yes!!!!! Great cramps!!!!

I felt those yesterday. Today is milder. I had a smile on my face yesterday. Yay Cramps.
This is our first cycle so I am excited but I know that it can go either way. Having you all here made it a lot less stressful honestly. I m so thankful that I posted here. I had no idea what the post was about. I just saw everyone getting excited about their O getting close and I was on cd 14 and thought awesome. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji41]

It's so much easier and less stressful to share this part of the journey I stopped taking part in 2ww's for quite awhile there but it feels so good to be back! I still remember when I first joined and felt so clueless and surrounded by wonderful, patient, seemed-to-be all knowing women 😀 to offer advice and support. Then as I grew in confidence and knowledge I tried to become one of those helpers as I remember how thankful I felt ❤

I can totally understand because I felt so much better when I got answers to my questions. I always imagined this time where I will be ttc and thought I would go nuts. But thanks to you, my sanity was in check. [emoji4]
So the cervix needs to be soft if you are Oing. Again I have no idea about that too. What I don't understand is that we have four most fertile days in a month and using advanced opk the right way which is starting at the recommended day based on your cycle, will tell you your high and peak days. So if we are anyway waiting for 12 hours to BD after peak and getting two attempts in may be 3 then why would that not catch the egg? Given the cycles are pretty much regular. Because Af comes 2 weeks afterO.
I only have knowledge about all that I read however I know that you all know a lot more
Based on experience so don't want to sound dumb here. Just curious.

Even with perfect timing an egg will only be fertilised something like 25% max of the time and that is for those under 35 with no known issues. Then out of that 1 in 4 pregnancies will fail to implant or will miscarry down the track. By bding at peak reading you are getting at least one attempt in however many may follow at least 12-48 prior ovulation giving you the best chance by having 'fresh but ready' sperm to meet egg (I'm referring to the peak reading on dual hormone digi ones here). Sperm can live up to 5 days or so in some cases but those are the best case scenarios. I've never personally fallen pregnant from anything other than 1-o or o day attempt (not sure which one sealed the deal) that I know of.

When I talk about cervix position and texture its just another 'tool' to guess ovulation is or has taken place just like cm. We cannot know for sure when we ovulate and when our cervix or cm changes in relation to that unless we were under 24 hour observation with constant ultrasounds to confirm egg has been released. All I know is as a trend from 2 years of on and off charting that my cervix goes high and soft then hardens, cm will turn from watery to sticky creamy and this corresponds with a temp spike. I'm not sure when the cervix hardens and cm changes that I have oed, I use it as a sign that I should have or am in that 24hr period of temp checking. I hope all this make sense and please let me know if I haven't answered your question. I myself have come abit confused and think I'll start a thread to ask atomic about the recommended bd pattern for blue. If eod sways strongly blue I'm wondering why that isn't the recommendation?? Or eod plus attempt at pos opk? I'll let you know what I hear back or when I've created it so you can subscribe to it to see the answers
