    Positive OPK and first attemp - help!

    My opk seems to be turning positive a day earlier than anticipated. I need some quick advice, ladies! I've actually been quite calm and cool throughout this process, and now that today will be my first attempt I'm sort of on edge that I'll do something "wrong".

    DH is under 35 and today puts us at a 6 day abstain. Is this okay or should do we something extra to lower his count? He takes LR and OLE as suggested.

    Also, I've been taking Zyrtec for 4 days as of today and am noticing my EWCM is very watery and fluid-like. Different from other cycles. It definitely didn't dry me up, but more so changed the consistency. Should I go ahead and take a Benadryl and if so, how far in advance before DTD? Benadryl conks me out, so I was hoping I wouldn't need it, but it's looking like I just might.

    Abstain hasn't seemed to matter much so I would just go for it.

    WAtery CM is supposed to be fertile so I would still take the Benadryl since this is first attempt. Just to see what happens. But your call to make!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'll go ahead and buy some to have on hand just in case and I'll see how it is a few hours before our attempt. I didn't think about it, but I've been taking my Zyrtec around noon, so the reason my cm may have been extra watery was because it was beginning to wear off since it had been almost 24 hours since my last dosage.

    Bump. Looks like I'm out this month. I'm 12dpo, tested negative and am having some of my pre-AF spotting. I have always gotten pregnant on the first cycle, so I'm trying to look at it from a positive point that I'm obviously reducing my fertility by not getting pregnant this month. Now I need some helpful tips...

    I've fallen off the sway bandwagon a bit and have only done cardio 2-3 times total because one week my little was sick, and then I got hit with it this last week. Is it safe to jump back into the cardio this upcoming cycle?

    Also, I swayed ridiculously hard. I took Zyrtec 4 days prior, two Benadryl an hour before DTD, Acijel and immediate jump and dump. I'm ditching the Acijel, but would anyone change anything else? I also made the mistake of continuing to take Zyrtec after DTD, but that's because I was sick with allergies. I won't be doing that again, as I think it may have contributed. All suggestions welcome!
