BD help (atomic and anyone else)
Sorry for my obnoxious posts. I'm really getting nervous this cycle.
CD 15 (Thursday): negative OPK BD at night
CD 16 (Friday): negative OPK. Couldn't tell if I had Ewcm because I BD'd the night before
CD 17 (Saturday):husband is away. Positive OPK or pretty near positive. The test line is only a teeny bit lighter than the control.
CD 18 (Sunday): husband will be home
Cd 19 (Monday) : husband will be home and would technically be the 4th day.
So I'm basically asking if I should BD tomorrow or just wait until Monday. I will def take another OPK tomorrow but last cycle I got a near positive OPK one day and then the next day the line got lighter. I just feel like if I wait until Monday, I will have already ovulated yet there won't be enough sperm sticking around to make Thursdays attempt count. Would it be a compromise to BD at like midnight on Sunday?
I don't really mind waiting another cycle. But I have been kind of doing LE for almost 4 months now and exercising 6x a week for 60 minutes for almost 4 months now. I know next month it will be cold and harder for me to walk/jog.
Would you guys do?

I'd stick with the attempt on Thursday and Monday night for this cycle. With the e4d method we aren't supposed to worry about positive opk's I don't think. Just stay to the 4 day rhythm and see what happens this month.

If you're doing the every 4th day method, I really would stick to it and try again Monday x

Flip a coin and do what the coin tells you. For reals, not kidding. If it's borderline and you can't decide, please just flip a coin. Writing threads and all the mental calculating and pros/cons lists only serve to create anxiety and control-freakiness about a situation that at the end of it all, is out of your control anyway. Neither I, nor you, nor anyone else knows what the right move is so just take a moment to turn it over to whatever higher power you so choose (including Lady Luck) and flip a coin.

Thanks everyone! I think I will test midday tomorrow and if the line is darker than I will dtd Monday. If it's lighter, than I will dtd tomorrow night! So kind of flipping a coin. Hahaha. It's such a borderline cycle, I feel like!
Let's say I did dtd Monday, and I ovulated Sunday. Do I still have a chance from my Thursday attempt? I know it's smaller but it's still a chance
right?

Yes. Sperm can live that long definitely. My sisters first pregnant was from a 3 day cut off.

I took another OPK tonight and it was as dark as the control line. So that means I could ovulate anywhere from 12-36 hours after right?

Took another OPK this morning and it was still positive. So I think I'm just going to DTD tomorrow. I know taking OPKs are not recommended doing the 4 day method. But this is my first period after weaning so I kind of figured things would be wonky. I'm almost 2 years pp at this point.

It's fine to use them, this is just why it can sometimes add to stress by putting you in a position of having to make a decision. Sometimes ignorance is bliss haha

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...
