XX, I don't normally get positives but I do always get some dark OPKs (at least one). I think my OPK is finally darker today but my urine is SO dilute that it's not showing. Soooo frustrating!
Ash, I think it's a great idea to start charting in advance of TTC, full on with temps and cervix checking. It will help you plan and tackling a new project sways blue we think. Keep in mind CM isn't very reliable for determining O and swaying can change your CM.
seabee, welcome, good luck catching the egg!
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Seabee—good to see you back!
Well, I got +OPK yesterday...2 days after our attempt, so I'm hoping some of those swimmers are sticking around. I really have a super loose sway happening, so I'm reluctant to attempt again until tomorrow (day 4). Hoping we didn't *just* miss it this month. I'd love a Christmas girl!
Yep it was I, thanks for your story! I hope you O very soon. Would you consider attempting again tomorrow? I am going to try to attempt again tonight, I'm on CD16 and last attempted in the afternoon on CD13

So I DH and I *may* move TTCing up to next month. So 4 weeks from now. EEP! It depends on when I ovulate. So it will be a game-time last minute decision. But that means I have to plan like we are and it is crunch time for swaying. I am excited. Super excited.
Thank you God and Our Lady

If I can keep dh up (no pun intended) tonight, we will try again! Toddler boy has been up for hours in the middle of the night for the last few nights--for no good reason that I can tell!--so we're running on fumes. I hesitate to even bring up babies right now as babies just mean LESS sleep. I'm even second guessing myself! It is so much harder to be sleepless at 38 than it was at 23.

I think I read once that lack of sleep seems to sway girl! So it might be a good night for you to go for it!

Finally got a dark almost positive OPK even with my super dilute urine, at 2am on CD17. So probably I will O on CD18 as usual. Didn't get to BD but now I'm glad, I've never had O-1 timing and I think I need it with DF's sperm. Will try to attempt by evening of CD17!

Mommymachine~ that's exciting !! You moved up a month and I moved back a month!! Super excited for you
Good luck to all the ladies attempting this week, this group is ready for some bfps!
