Hello ladies. I’m jumping in with a question. This is my 3rd month of ttc and I am swaying girl. (Horribly I may add [emoji6]) Has anyone had spotting on cd22? Just when wiping. Nothing made it past that. And pink only. And now nothing. Just that one time. What do I make of this? I typically have a 31 day cycle and have a dancing O date. It jumps all over my chart but is usually later than average. (Cd18-22)

Hannah - so my last cycle (the cycle immediately following my early miscarriage in Dec), I had a bit of pinkish/reddish spotting - very slight - around day 14 or 15 I believe, which is about the time I normally ovulate (and I had other signs around that time that I might be ovulating). I looked it up and I guess "ovulation spotting" can happen with some women, although it's not super common. I've never had it before and it may have just been something more related to the m/c but who knows. Do you think you might have just ovulated? Are you tracking with OPKs or temping?

Very true, I know this is very up in the air. I would love to get pregnant this month. I'm probably just desperate for something that sways in addition to my one attempt and alcohol.

Trust me.. I dropped it the second month of TTC my first daughter I didn't get pregnant. Atomic told me it doesn't really sway that heavily anyhow

Girlsway - well if you're getting EWCM I think that's def a good sign!!!

mwilson - Yup looks positive to me!!!! WOOHOO goodluck!! FWIW I don't do J&D - I figure # of attempts is more important. Atomic got her girl w/o J&D. When we got pregnant in Aug & Nov, I stayed laying down for about 15 minutes before getting up and going pee - I think that helped in us conceiving.

GirlswayHGmama - Yea I'm with the others about Rephresh. It seems like Atomic really doesn't believe that it does much if anything in terms of swaying, just cuts the odds of conception. You could do an antihistamine a couple of hours before your attempt if you want to dry up CM & feel like you're adding something to your sway - although I don't think Atomic is very sold on that anymore either.

Robin - wonderful news!!! Please let us know how the egg retrieval goes!!!

Odd question, anyone ever use coconut oil as a lube? Since most lubes aren’t conception friendly, just curious for better options.

[atomic sagebrush]

Do not use coconut oil as lube. Sperm is not meant to swim through oil and both semen and EWCM are water soluble. Coconut oil, regardless of what you read other places online, is not good for TTC.

I would use a small amount of any sperm safe, conception friendly jelly like Preseed as a lube. Larger amounts may sway blue, use o nly the minimum amount needed for comfy BD.

When we calculated it, the RepHresh (and in fact all jellies) had the exact same results both for people using them and not using them. This was identical to the overall success rate of the site indicating the jellies do nothing to help a sway whatsoever.

Well dtd tonight so not time to order. I have rephresh but don’t want to cut odds of conception too much since we’ve been trying so long.
