I have a question.... I’m so confused.
my FF has given me crosshairs, on day 12. The day before my positive OPK ... could it be possible ? Can the surge get picked up after you ov? I thought it was before. I know I’ve read that in over 40’s the OPk can be unreliable, or pick it up the day of. But I’m
Not sure, either way I could be 2dpo or 6dpo [emoji46]

Thoughts and opinions?

Anyone else have horrible guilt about not being on prenatals? It makes me want to start prenatals after each confirmed O date and then stop after AF. When do you plan on starting? After BFP? Would it hurt future sway months for 10-14 days of prenatals?

That sounds strange. I read that FF will give you crosshairs if you have 3 temps that are elevated, so maybe that's happening. Maybe the crosshairs will adjust. I've had that happen before. Pbn3 has targeted my chart perfectly everytime.
So... i am still working on trying to figure out why my signature displays twice. Tapatalk help isnt helping.

Oh wow that’s really interesting. Glad you did the e4d (I think you did didn’t you?) so you know either way youre in with a great chance!
I’m sure pbn will be able to help from looking at your chart, she’s very clued in on the temp readings

Hadn’t really thought about it too much tbh. The folate is the main thing isn’t it!?
I think if your diet is pretty good you’ll be getting most of your nutrients anyway, but you have to do what you feel comfortable with.
I’m sure hoping you’ll be having to start them real soon [emoji6]🤞🏻

Wow this thread has moved fast the past few days!!! Haven't read through all the posts but seems like there is a lot happening!

Emshe - YAY for +OPK and attempt in!!!!! WOO HOO!!! Officially in the TWW!!!

Seems like there are several of you in the TWW now but I can't keep track - Emshe, HGMama, Hopeful, Mummy, anyone else?

Mummy I see those pics and I do see a faint line!! I'm hesitant too given the crazy luck you've had with false positives but I do hope this one is real and gets darker in the next few days!!!

HGMama - Love the pic!! Your little man is so cute!! As far as the prenatals, even with 3 m/cs I didn't feel guilty about that. BUT I have been taking 1,600-2,400 mcg of folate/day for over a year now and atomic says that folate is the only vitamin proven to prevent birth defects! I think if you're eating a sufficient amount and taking folate/folic acid it's OK! Just start the prenatals as soon as you get a BFP (hopefully in a few days from now!)

I don't feel guilty about not taking prenatals because I am taking folate (I wouldn't skip that) and eating more fruit/veg and healthier foods on my version of the LE diet (alternate) than I was pre-TTC.

Hi ladies
I'm new to the thread! Goodluck and bfps to all.
I'm TTC pink and we BDed yesterday. Our first cycle at TTC! So last night was CD 16. I'm aiming for one attempt and 2 day cut off per shettles. Last month, I got +OPK on CD17 eve and ovulated on CD 18 between 7 pm and 10pm approximately. So with that data in mind, I picked yesterday for my one attempt. (temps are not of much help at the moment)

When I BDed yesterday, no +OPK. As of today, no +OPK either. And it's 8pm my time on CD17. The lines are still as faint as yesterday. Pic attached

So now I'm caught in a dilemma...

If I get +OPK tonight, then I will likely ovulate on CD18 and my one attempt will be at a 2 day cut off (which does have some chance of conception). So I do nothing, but sit tight....

If I don't get +OPK tonight, I will likely ovulate at CD 19 or maybe even 20. That puts my one attempt at 3-4 days prior to Ovulation and might likely not result in pregnancy... So should I BD again, at +OPK? If I do that, I risk more than one attempt!

Both decisions have its advantages and risks! What would you do in my shoes?
Thanks and pink dust

I completely understand your dilemma and it is such a tough time making the decision. If it’s your first month ttc you might want to really stick to your guns with the one attempt if that is really important to you. But if your in a rush to conceive maybe again at +ve opk. All depends when it turns positive too.

The other ladies are better at this decision stuff than me do I’m sure they’ll help you out! I wish you every success in fulfilling your desire 🤞🏻
