Thanks Atomic!
Looks like Ovulation is later this month which is unusual for me because it’s always on time. I usually ovulate around CD16 but this month according to OPK looks like it’s gonna be CD19. I’ve been extra stressed this month with the house buying process. We DTD yesterday unprotected which was O-4. If we decide to attempt this month what other days should we BD?

You can't possibly be able to predict when you're 4 days out from ovulation. Please don't rely on that guesstimate because the odds are very good it will be different days than that.
This is why I suggest going off the OPK and not your cycle days. Because we can't predict in advance when your fertile window will open.
So, I would aim at having an attempt the night of positive OPK, 2 times the next day (morning and night if at all possible), the following day, and thenevery other day if possible. And if you can, get one in the day before positive OPK, that's often easier to predict than 4 days before.

Uhhh turns out the CB Advanced OPK did NOT do its job. I got a positive OPK this morning After only 1 day of flashing smiley so ovulation was as usual this month. Now that means we’ve BD on O-3. So is skipping not an option anymore? Should we go ahead and attempt tonight and tomorrow x2? Because our O-3 BD is literally the only time we’ve done it this cycle. And I started leaning more towards skipping this month

AGH I only just now saw this, yes, that can happen sometimes.
I would have had you go ahead and attempt, but if you didn't, the odds of conceiving from O-3 are not that high.

We didn’t end up attempting. I think my “food poisoning” was actually a stomach bug because DH had the exact same illness as me on the day of my positive OPK and had a fever so I took that as a sign to skip! So if our accidental attempt before that on o-3 doesnt result in a bfp, we’re going for it in early Jan!
Thanks Atomic and I’ll keep you updated!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
