Yes i understand, long cycles are so boring

The sway hasn't affect my cycle too much, mainly just shorter periods. They were short before, but now only 2 days with a couple spotting days after. I do feel like I O early in my cycle. Like I got a positive opk on cd 10 (yesterday). First month temping so we will see what that shows.

How to handle two positive opk days? I got one yesterday and then another today. Always makes me nervous that I’m going to miss. We dtd last night at the first positive. image.jpg

BD at first positive, no matter how many days it’s pos for. GL!

Agree always bd at first positive opk as you will likely o the following day. You may be minutes, hours off oing from your second pos opk or you may have oed and your lh levels haven't come down yet. Remember day of o attempts are not good timing for conception as sperm needs time (up to 12 hours) to capacitate in order to penetrate an egg [emoji4]

So would it be safe to say to feel free to use it since it doesn't sway? Does it still cut odds?

It cuts odds off conception quite a lot. Avoid using it if possible. Non sperm safe lubes kill sperm. It's not 100% of course as they warn on the tubes that its not to be used as birth control so people do fall pregnant on it but to me that just shows how strongly it cuts conception odds (the fact it even considered a way to avoid getting pregnant)

I have been off and on using rephresh, maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten pregnant. But I used when trying to get pregnant last time and got pregnant with her the first try. That’s why I used it this baby. Our attempt last night was not using it so I had a better chance of conceiving. So even though I only used a small amount in earlier months, I didn’t take the chance last night.

Girlswaylondon hang in there xxoo

So much can happen in such a short time. You could get a blazing pos out of the blue. You're on cd20 now and oed cd19 last cycle so hopefully it will happen for you in the next couple days. Focusing so much worry and stress won't be helping though and may even be contributing to the delay. Can I suggest maybe tomorrow to do whatever it takes to avoid thinking of ttc and ovulation etc. Go shopping or try recipe browsing online and find an awesome dinner meal to try (if you like cooking that is [emoji12]) go shopping for ingredients and an incredible bottle of wine. Have a delicious meal, enjoy several glasses and take a nice relaxing bath or shower. Bd protected if the mood takes you there. Try not and think too much prior to doing your opk. Expect it to be negative. I know all this is easier said than done but do your best. I promise things will be different within a few days xxoo

Can you post a pic of your opks?

I also had a big dip in this mornings temp. Does that happen day of/before o?

[Pbn3]

It commonly does but can dip from day of to several days prior. Some people see a dip then a rise prior to their rise above coverline. Can you post a link to your chart?
