Sharing my first (not ideal at all!) attempt

[blueherald]

Hello!

Just thought I would share with you my first month TTC blue. Why is it that when you try to plan things everything goes wrong?????

For the first time in a year or more my O date was not CD-19 . I was happily planning attempts around CD-19 (yesterday) getting negative OPKs thinking that I had missed the LH surge, and then - positive OPK last night and this morning! Wahhhh!!!

Also, I NEVER get sick, but bang on CD-19 (yesterday) and a little today I have had what I think are mild cold symptoms. Seriously. Why. This happened after first two BDs so had to persist with the remaining planned BDs! Lucky my immune system is relatively good, and it hasn't affected temping, but I still don't imagine fighting a virus during the sway attempt could be good????

I was really super happy with my sway up until this point and everything has gone haywire! Was getting stressed about it yesterday which is probably also not helping at all!!!!!!

I am thinking I will O today sometime (but who knows the way things are going eh??? ) so will keep cool about it and take it easy.

So what i think I have is:

O-2 : BD AM
O-1 : BD AM (then cold symptoms PM - sneezing and a bit of a runny nose)
O : BD AM (still mild cold symptoms but better than yesterday - tickly nose with occasional sneeze)

If O isn't today, I think I will skip BD-ing tomorrow anyway... blah. Will give you an update later on....

It is typical it always seems to happen!! I was the same O day changed and got sick too - crazy!!

Good Luck I think a good sway will overcome early/late O and the common cold don't worry about it at all.

For my next and last sway I will be expecting all of the unexpected

Thank you all for your positive replies, this forum is so supportive

Yes I have calmed down a bit now and am back to being normal excited it is very easy to get worked up when everything is happening at once and forget that it isn't the end of the world. Cold symptoms are gone!!!

Haha True Blue, sounds like you got hit with the same thing! Good luck to you for your future attempt

I have a -ve opk this afternoon - will wait to see what my temp is in the morning

Thank you for the blue dust!!!

Oh another Australian!
Hello Hello

How was your temp this morning?? Lots of blue dust being sent your way

[blueherald]

Hello Janse! Nice to hear from another Aussie!

My temp jumped up a bit and has continued climbing so I'm thinking O was Monday (maybe). Wah! 2WW...

Good luck for your sway!!
