First attempt

[Prayingforagirl67]

I hoping someone can give me some advice, my husband and I had our first attempt on Monday, I had a spike in temperature so We figured on a whim that we’d give it a go this month instead of having our first attempt in June. I know that cramping doesn’t necessarily mean ovulation but I also had a spike in temp yesterday and am now wondering if we missed the egg. This is my first time temping so I’m not even sure if I’m doing this right.

What I’m wondering is if we should go ahead and have another attempt tonight or just wait it out and see what happens. I’m really kicking myself and wish I would have used OPKs this month. I definitely don’t trust myself enough to know if I actually caught the egg or not, but his month was really on a whim.

Thanks I’m advanced

Yes, have another attempt. I like you guys to do at least 1-2 rounds of e4d after the one attempt in case of delayed O. Nothing will be left from Monday.

Thank you! Is e4d worse result wise then the one attempt at pos OPK? Or do they both have similar results?

We can't compare them because I only have people go to e4d after they've tried one attempt. So the e4d people are those who have been swaying quite a bit longer and could not get pregnant with just one attempt. The people who get pregnant with one attempt are usually highly fertile (which may sway blue) and have been on diet a shorter amount of time.

Oh boy, we just started to try this month, so I probably should’ve only did the one attempt. With my last sway my husband and I only had one attempt and conceived on our first try. I guess at this point there’s no point in worrying about it. If we didn’t conceive this month should I just do the one attempt at pos OPK? I’m guessing E4d still gets good results with swaying pink? I’m not sure if I’m super fertile or not, with my son we went on months and months and months without conceiving with a super blue friendly lifestyle, to the point that I didn’t think I was able to have kids (young and dumb) and with my second pregnancy, it was on our first try with a super pink friendly lifestyle.

Totally up to you. It's all whatever you think is best option for you.

I do think e4d can work, but I just have higher confidence in one attempt.

I’m definitely going to go for the one attempt if we didn’t conceive this month. We had 106 hrs between our two attempts. I’m hoping if I get a positive that the E4d didn’t totally ruin my sway!

[atomic sagebrush]

106 hours is what I consider one attempt still.

Oh awesome! So with this should be continue to dtd in that order? Is a week before your period too late to ovulate?

[atomic sagebrush]

Sure!

Yes a week before you normally get your period would be too late to ovulate but your ovulation can be delayed. In that case, you'd simply get your period later. It's fairly unusual to o only 7 days before AF arrives...not unheard of, but rare.
