TTC Pink February 2014

[stephk]

Argh another faint line!!!! It's been 7 days so I guess we should BD anyway....

He abstain stuff I think is to lower sperm count and quality slightly? And I think so that you have less exposure to the hormones in semen? When over 35 there is more chance of birth defects so that's why it isn't recommended. I may not be 100% right though so someone pls correct me if I'm wrong?

Sorry just read the question. Abstain is 7 days.

Thanks! Anyone know? I am just wondering how long I have to tell him "not tonight" LOL before we actually start trying.

Atomic is less about abstaining and fr etc. It's more about the one attempt at pos opk

My plan was actually to BD every 4-7 days, or 1-2 times a week and then at pos OPK depending in when that was. that would be ok for our energy levels but we only seem to manage it at the weekend lol

Another weekender here, stephk. Lol! Hoping to get my +opk near Valentine's Day, as I think it's a mid-week exception this month. At least, it will be mid-week for us since we're celebrating on an off night to get the babysitter here.

image.jpg I am having the worst time deciphering my OPKs this month, this is today's, CD14, is the test line as dark as the control line? According to the minimal instructions a test line that's fainter than the control is negative and I've been testing since Thursday and the all look like this. I don't want to miss our window! My cervical fluid is milky but stretchy like halfway between semi fertile and fertile, seems like a positive OPK should've shown up by now if I'm on my typical 30 day cycle.

Looks negative to me. Close though! Hopefully you'll get a bfp soon!

Hi guys,
I am new here ttc a girl after two lovely boys. I am going solo as my husband would not be impressed to find me obsessing after something he does not believe in so I am not telling him!!
I just got my first BFN first try but its still disappointing! Good news I will be on LE diet a little longer...
I have a question for you all too I am 35 my husband 41 we only DTD at pos opk last month.
Because of our age should we be DTD every four days and then once on pos opk...?
Also what is chitoban?? should I take this instead of zyrtek as I get alot of CM.
thanks for all you help much appreciated xx

Chitoban is a fiber supp I believe. You take the fiber sups with/after heavy meals or cheats. If you get a lot of CM I would personally stick with Zyrtec 6-8 hours before attempt. Maybe try lying flat for 5 min afterwards then j&d? I was supposed to do 1 attempt at pos opk but last min changed it to every four days since I knew I had to work and that lovin' would NOT happen if I had a pos opk during my stretch of nights on. (I work 12 hour night shifts and try to work them in a row to get them out of the way). Turns out I was right and got a pos opk over the weekend. We made another attempt last night just in case there was a sad I fertilized egg waiting for a little sperm to make her night lol.
