Please help for blue sway[emoji170]

[Missv]

Last month, for example, we bd CD 5 and CD 8 (outside the window). Ok I got what you suggest.

This month I would like to be able to be more consistent and succeed at least 4 consecutive times (which has failed in recent months). Do you think we should hit on the smiley face or the steady one (of clearblue digital)? Thanks xxx

CD 5 and 8 would have been very much in the range of what I would have recommended.

If you can hit it to fall on the SECOND flashy and FIRST solid those two days are best chance of conception. (late on the First Flashy and early on the Second solid are also ok) If you can't manage that then do First solid and early on the day of second solid.

Thanks atomic.

I have another, perhaps stupid, question. Over the months I have often noticed only one flashy smiley before the solid one or even no flashy face and directly solid smiley. I know that clearblue works with FMU but what do you think if I use it just after lunch (around 1.30pm or 2 pm) instead of morning? Could it be the same? Thanks in advance.
p.s. I'm a little more nervous for this month... [emoji1696][emoji1696][emoji1696]

That's not unusual, many people have only one, or NO flashies before smileys. But it is absolutely fine to try testing at lunchtime to see if that works better for you. That's the point at which the hormone concentration in your urine should be the highest (since Clearblue measures other things too that's why it's ok to test in the morning) and some people do see more reliable results testing midday.

FXFXFX and blue dust headed your way!

The best Christmas gift

Dear Atomic, after 5 months of attempting (almost perfect) and a few more kilos gained (thanks to diet and continuous snacking) this morning finally I had my BFP !!!
I wrapped my digital clearblue in a package and put it under the Christmas tree to have it unwrapped by my DH...
I can't tell you the emotion and the immense happiness!
What can I say except THANK YOU for all your support of these months, for always answering me without having anything in return.
You and this site were very important because at 37 years old it can be difficult and anxiety sometimes plays tricks...I'd really like to somehow contribute to the site and add my sway on the forum.
At the end this month the attempts were on day O-3; O-1 (pos OPK) and O. I hope with all my heart that they are enough (with diet, supplements, vitamins) to give me my baby boy.
Otherwise I will have a beautiful little girl who, despite everything, was destined to reach me.
However it goes I'm in seventh heaven! Thanks thanks thanks Atomic.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone!

Thanks Atomic!
I'm still over the moon, but I have a little doubt about my attempts.
This month the frequency was: CD 6, 9, 11 (pos OPK), 12, 15. Unlike the past months, this month we haven't been able to bd on day O-2 and O+1.
So I was thinking, if the day O-3 was too early (the batch of sperm maybe didn't survive until day O) I would only have 2 attempts in the fertile window (CD 11 and 12). But I read somewhere that the day after the positive OPK (O day) may be too late because the batch of semen on that day didn't have time to capacited in time for ovulation, it is possible? So this would mean that did I only make one attempt? Did I ruin my sway?

One interesting thing is that the last AF came in the early morning instead of the afternoon or evening. Is this a good thing for a blue sway?

[atomic sagebrush]

No, you didn't ruin your sway. Both CD 11 and 12 count, and CD 9 may have. (many of us, myself included, got boys with 3 day cutoffs so I promise the sperm is not necessarily dead!)

The vast majority of the time, people who are testing regularly with OPK as you were the day after the first positive is 100% still viable for attempts. We find that it's mainly in people who are just testing now and then, like whenever, I'll do a test this day and not that day, those people are the ones who end up Oing very soon after a positive. Anyone testing regularly will get in with their positive with much more advance warning. We have seen again and again that people testing regularly are much more likely to O more like 48 hours or even 60-72 hours after the first positive. Your timing was great.

We do believe that seeing changes in the time of day your period arrives may indicate something about your hormones is changing. Moms of all girls report later starts to their periods (afternoon to evening) and moms of boys notice that it comes first thing in the morning. Then when we are swaying we are seeing changes in this pattern. So absolutely I do think that's a great sign for a sway (but please no one postpone trying for this reason as it is not at all set in stone, just an intriguing thing we have noticed.)
