Did I mess up my sway?
So, I finally got a +OPK yesterday, 2 days later than usual. DH has been releasing daily since CD1, and we have been DTD unprotected daily since CD8. Yesterday, CD13, was our last day DTD, since I was hoping for a 1-day cut-off. I used a whole tube of Rephresh on CD8, CD11, then topped up with 1/4-1/2 a tube yesterday about 7 hours before our last attempt. After we DTD, I lay for about 10 minutes, then headed to the bathroom to clean up. I normally don't test my PH since I often don't get a reading at all, but out of curiosity I pulled out my PH strips and tested. I had a 7, which I suppose wasn't surprising since I was still full of DH's semen. I had a panic moment, though, and for some reason pulled out the Represh, put a pea-size amount on my finger tip, and literally just touched it to the opening of my V (I didn't put my finger inside at all). Immediately afterwards I regretted it. Was that enough to kill the few sperm that were left after 13 days of daily release?? I reallllly want to get pregnant this cycle - should I make an O-day attempt (today, which is CD14) to cover my bases? I was going to avoid O-day since that's when all of my boys were conceived.... Help!

I also wanted to mention that it would be very tricky to DTD tonight because my Mother will be visiting and sleeping in the next room. It would take a lot of convincing to get DH to give it a try.

I'd leave it, but that is just my opinion. Good Luck!

Do you mean you don't think I messed up my chances of getting pregnant? It's worth mentioning I'm 36....

I'd leave it too. Even after daily release, there is always enough sperm for fertilization ( basically, you need just 1 spermie LOL!)
Girl diet and timing do mess chances to get pg, and what you did ( RePhresh) wasn't a big deal Imho. Maybe you killed all y-swimmers and gave the best chance to x onesm/c 2001

Thanks, ladies - you're making me feel better. I was trying not to worry about PH or timing this time around since those were my obsessions last time I swayed. I hope you're right and it wasn't enough to kill all the sperm. I just so desperately want to get off this awful diet that I want to make sure I didn't ruin my chances of getting pregnant. I've always been fertile in the past (though those times were all before I was 35), so hopefully I still have a chance.

I agree with the others mocha, I'm sure you didn't ruin your chances and I'm keeping everything crossed for a BFP x

im kind of new to all this so i just wanted to wish you good luck and i hope you get a bfp
2 weeks before. Keep in mind that many people think they actually sway blue and WANT to be on them for their sway. OPK are fallible. We use them because it's the best technology we have, but...
