Hi Ladies! Just dropping in to join this thread!
I think I am 1-2dpo today, according to FF chart.
Been trying to conceive number 2 for far too long! Age 40.
Just a quick question ladies - am using OPK kits, BBT temp checking, and charting my CM...can you take a look at these pics and let me know what you think?
I hardly ever / never get a darker LH line than the reference line on OPK tests, which is why I use charting CM and BBT alongside the OPK tests.
Im a little worried that I may have BD'd too early this cycle, but all my previous cycles I have ovulated very close to my LH surge (usually within a few hours of getting my surge!) and I didnt want to miss that egg! lol. My partner was away working on the day of my surge so we BD'd the night before I got my surge - so in essence:
We BD'd around midnight Saturday 3rd March with abundant EWCM;
It looks like I started my LH surge Sunday 4th March afternoon (what do you all think from the OPK pics?),
I felt really crampy ovulation type pains from Sunday night / and through Monday 5th March morning,
OPK tests showed I was still surging Monday 5th March morning! (I think! what do you ladies think?!)....
OPK tests today 6th March are negative again.
My Temp rise happened on Monday 5th.
My CM was egg white and abundant from 2nd March, until it changed to watery on the 5th March and had dried / gone as of today 6th March.
Do you think I BD'd too early ladies? We used preseed and basically BD'd around 24 and 48 hours prior to ovulation. Too early? How long can spermies survive?
Any advice appreciated!
