I screwed up and now don't know what to do:(
I am on clomid. I DTD Thursday aiming for a 1-2day cut off with an abstain. I had a neg OPK Friday morning, and a positive one Friday night (smiley face), which went back to negative Saturday morning. I did not chart temps.
Well, this morning I felt very "wet" and decided to test OPKs. I have the expensive Clear Blue Fertility monitor that was asking for a stick anyway, since it never caught the positive (as it only tests in the morning and I was positive only at night). Well, I am having a peak day today (it has the egg on it and three bars).
Should I DTD tonight? It would be about 12 hours after I caught the positive on the OPK. I did a vinigar douche right after I saw it was at peak. I could take lots of CL/cranberry/asprin/sudafed at around 2 PM which should help by evening, right? I also could use a rephresh, replens or acijel as needed.
My DH will probably not be up for me making him to a release or DTD in morning, he can be grumpy when it comes to planned sex and has a lower sex drive. He smokes and only has one testicle, so even though we have boys, I can't imagine he has an extra high sperm count as it is...

So, you are ovulating twice? You are going to have a 4-5 day cutoff for this egg as it is and a closer one with the first attempt. I vote for the AM.

I guess I ovulated twice, or my body geared up for O and didn't (that happens, right?). So frustrated.

I think I will definitely DTD tonight. I just used rephresh and will take a benedryl soon. I know timing means nothing, but its hard not to believe the "old wives tales."

Absolutely dtd tonight and tomorrow night.
You are on clomid and cannot waste a cycle.
Using a whole app of rephresh some hours before your attempt may very well kill most of the sperm.
I would definitely dtd tomorrow too.
Don't forget, its really not the rephresh or any of that stuff that is doing your sway -- all that does is kill the sperm and lower the count.
Your diet, your maternal condition inside it what would do the sway and choose girl over boy. Dont stress about those other things. If you are on clomid then you really should not use rephresh at all because clomid already makes your cm very harsh. Too late now I guess, since you already took it. But definitely dtd tomorrow -- twice if you can.2005; 2007; 2009; arrived 6/28/14!!

I know I'm too late to answer this but my suspicion would be that the first pos OPK was a faker and the second is the real deal.
I did want to mention again that I'm really opposed to people doing a lot of (any) sway tactics while on Clomid. You need to get pregnant ASAP on Clomid and the Clomid will be swaying for you. next month, please skip the vinegar douche, jellies, etc etc etc and just BD to get pg.!!! Questions??

As long as you're not actively sick any more I'd be ok with you trying, but as always let your own gut instinct be your guide. The bike trip is a little more concerning, so it could be that with...
