January 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

[ABC.2606]

Pbn yea I think that's a good plan for me. I'm even fine BD-ing unprotected earlier in the cycle around day 5/6/7, it's just when I get closer to day 9 or 10 I start getting stressy about timing (as I've gotten +OPKs as early as CD11!). So I think that's a good idea - although hopefully this is THE cycle anyways!

Thanks, Filzma.

Well we didn't attempt and I feel like it's the right thing... I know it sounds really weird but I think I may be one of those people who finds E4D more stressful than 1 attempt at +OPK!!! I've thought about switching to E4D before but then I find I stress about which day to start it, whether to do 2 or 3 days between, how many hours will have lapsed between attempts, and then I get stressy (like I was earlier today thinking about this) about what if we have an attempt and then I'll get my +OPK like a day later and not know when to attempt again (since my body is weird and takes awhile to O after +OPK). Anyways... I find OPKs (especially the digitals) slightly more relaxing because I know I'll get one at some point and then can we can have our attempt. We DTD unprotected on CD5 and a couple of days before AF so hopefully my body has had enough exposure to DH's sperm and wont fight it off! LOL. So much awkward BD talk on these boards

Obviously I know it's a little harder maybe getting pregnant w/ 1 attempt vs. E4D but in our case, our issue the past 6 months hasn't been getting pregnant it's been staying pregnant. I think after our 1 attempt, we'll keep BD-ing every 72 hours or so until O is confirmed.

Thanks for the help all, I love this board!! Really hoping that the end of January/early Feb is FULL of BFPs!!!

Totally understand the bd and then next day get the positive opk. I worry about that too. I like your plan of bd at positive and then do the e4d after that. I think I may do that haha.

ABC I’m glad you did what was right for you. At the end of the day no one knows your body like you do. [emoji177][emoji120]

So just to use up my opks I had left I tested yday (CD17 when I always O) because CM hasn’t been watery and it was negative, tested today expecting it to be positive and it’s negative! So now I’m freaking out, this is late for me to not even have a surge! My temps show no ovulation either.

I’ve had a mild cold but nothing terrible, surely that wouldn’t delay it?!

[Noemi2017]

Girlsway everything can influence ovulation. Stress, some cold, some changes in your life style... i normally ovulate cd20 but this month it was cd16, i think coz of misccariage and i gained 1kg

It reminds me why I don’t like opks! Hoping this e4d covers the bases!

[mwilson]

I’m doing opk and somewhat e4d, I just like being stressed and confused all the time

Another month with all of you, wonderful ladies! Hopefully next month we all will move to another thread which starts with the words "Due in ..."
Last past five months I was hoping to see at least a hint of a line... well, now I will be always afraid of faint lines, so 2ww will be even longer for me now.
So after several days of faint lines in a row, I stopped testing, and started bleeding yesterday (glad it didn't take too long). So cd2 for me I guess. I'll just do e4d (approx. every 72 hours) this cycle, will take a break from Femara, and add some alcohol (at least for a few days ).
GL everyone!

Good luck sunstars, sorry about the confusing time you’ve had his month!

[HGmama]

Sunstars- have you found a post about which alcohol is preferred for swaying? Vodka, beer, wine??? I'm eating out a lot this week and I've been have vodka a few times a week with my Pepsi.
