Question about attempt at + OPK - advice please

[Pink Pony]

I have been swaying Girl since May 2015, but only started TTC in October, but until now have not been successful. We have been doing 1 attempt at +opk, but using Sylk lube and we have been doing FR for hubby as he is 42.

I am trying the every 4 day method this time round, We had an unprotected attempt on Wednesday evening ( no lube and never got to do FR for hubby), but I am still checking with OPK's.

Its Saturday evening and I got a +opk today. Do u think that Wednesday evening is still a viable attempt, or should I try another attempt on Sunday night, which I think then makes it an every 3 day attempt not 4.... not sure what to do???
Any advice is much appreciated
Thanks

Sunday evening would be every 4 days so you could wait until then although BD on ovulation tends to be a bit late to give the sperm enough time to get to the egg before it dies.

How old are you and how quick do you want to get pregnant? If you are in more of a hurry I would be tempted to go for it tonight but that would give you two attempts in the fertile window (O-4 and O-1) assuming you ovulated the day after your OPK+ normally.

Sunday evening IS 4 days! If your last attempt was Wednesday then Thursday is 1, Friday is 2, Saturday is 3, and Sunday is 4. I'd have another attempt Sunday. The morning would be 3.5 days which would be fine too (and probably slightly better odds of conception). Don't worry about the FR or Sylk. Not great results anyway. Goodluck

Thanks Purple and Covered in Blue.

I really would like the best odds of pink, so don't want to rush it. I am on antibiotics for a tooth infection so Dtd is honestly the last thing I want to do because of tooth ache ��. I will keep testing with my opks, I will try tomorrow night and hope for the best. I might be too late, but my tooth ache is killing me, so I am a grumpy Mummy/ Wife at the moment.

Thanks for the advice ladies ��

Sounds like a good plan good luck and I hope the tooth ache goes away soon!

It is beyond time for you guys to drop FR at this point anyway.

I would personally do an attempt RIGHT AWAY (since this came thru at near midnight my time I only just now saw it). It is time to start gradually increasing odds of conception by dropping some of this stuff.

Have you added in any additional nutrient supplements for yourself?? Are you still having hubby on supplements and if so which???

[atomic sagebrush]

There is not being in a hurry, wanting best odds of pink, and then there's being on diet since last May and TTC since October. At some point we just HAVE to start relaxing because over the course of time the diet is going to take its toll.

Thanks Atomic - the diet has taken its toll, trying to maintain my weight now, down to 40.3 kgs which is not great. I am taking folic acid only and hubby nothing, he was taking Ole but over time stopped taking it as he hates taking tablets.

I am still 100% veg, sticking to 1500 calories approx, but not tracking it. Didn't get to Dtd on Saturday as my tooth ache is killing me. I will try today (Sunday) although cervix feels low again, but it was high yesterday. I thought I felt O pains this morning, but not too sure. I am at a swim carnival and haven't had a chance to check opk again, will do so around 11am my time and see what it looks like. Cm is creamy again, yesterday I had a sticky blob, so who knows where I am at.
Taking antibiotics and ibruphen for the pain so was hoping O would be delayed.

Oh I feel so sorry for you! You need to up cals right away. You should be doing 1800 at least. Start tracking again for a bit. Some cheat days would be good too. I was where you are the month before we managed to conceive. I had quite a few cheats (even ate some red meat!) and got lucky the next cycle. Remember you have to get pregnant to get your girl otherwise you have no chance. Hope you are feeling better soon xx

Thanks covered in blue. Trying to cheat but it makes me nervous. Then the guilt sets in. What do u think would be the best thing to cheat with? Any suggestions?
