Hopefuls!!!!!!!

We both take the same gym supplements really - but he might take one or two extra things. We both take a pre-workout - Cellucor C4 and then we also take protein supplements.

Got 3 positive OPKs between 10am and 8pm last night - but no BDing. =/ This morning (8:30am) was a positive OPK also, but my temp went up to 96.8 so I think I did OV and we should BD tonight but I don't know if it will happen. We did on CD14 but I'm pretty sure that's to far out. If we don't BD tonight or tomorrow night then I'm sure I'm out this cycle.

I really hope you have caught at the right time!! Sometimes I wonder if this testing is making things worse rather than just going for it full throttle

Next month instead of I'll be sitting down, chilling and having a !!!

We will stop for September, October and start again in November/December.

Gutting really but hey, thats life.

Loads of baby dust to you, really want to hear some BFPs in the next couple of weeks ladies!

My husband takes a multi vitamin and I was taking Pregnacare vitamins but I stopped, they're so expensive so if I get that positive smiley face then I'll start them again xx

Hey BabyW, keep going!!! You get your surge 24-36 before ov then once your eggy us released it is viable for up to 24 hours! Keep cracking away for another day or 2!!!
It should fade after ov. This is my first month using opk and I haven't had my pos yet!
Good luck, and keep those coming!!!

Is twice a day good or too much? We bd yesterday morning, and then last night, then this morning again. I don't want to miss my window, for instance if we bd this morning and then wait until tomorrow night but I also don't want to deplete his Dh is so funny, he's taking to the bd timing task like he's a superhero or something, he gets all psyched like "Let's Do This!"

I've heard from both sides. Some say every 2nd day others say everyday. I think if you DH has a healthy sperm count it shouldn't hurt but it will mean there isn't as much in each load as if you did it a bit less. We are doing it once everyday just to make sure but have considered rest days just to let them 'regenerate' as my DH likes to say lol

Here hoping all this leads to a
Can't wait till testing time!!! Waiting to ov is almost as bad as the 2ww, almost.. Lol

Thanks for the advice! I'm cd13 and got dark lines on the opk on Sat/Sun so we 2x on Saturday, 1x Sun, and then again this morning even though I did another test strip and the line had faded. So does this mean I've ov'd already? I did feel some pinching on my right side, hmmm. Wondering if we should tonight and tomorrow too just in case?

Sounds like you ov'ed to me!! I'd just keep going till DH pulls out the rape whistle hahaha
We are going to try and go as close to AF as we can this month just to be sure.
But if you want a break maybe just one more day then relax... Let those little burrow their way in and give you a little sticky bean!!!
Good luck girls, I'm cd14 today but ran out of opks so im going to use smu rather than fmu today. Hopefully I get that second line!!!!!

What's the diff b/t fmu and smu for testing? Tonight might be out...dh texted to say he's working at the office until 8, which means closer to 9 or he'll go to the gym after work and come home wiped out. I'm full on obsessing...I'm wondering if 2x Sat, 1x Sun and 1x this morning was enough...I swear I even looked after we bd'd this morning and there was some on him and I thought "oh no is there not enough in me?" He's lucky I didn't go run down to the kitchen and get a turkey baster, suck up what was on him and inject it!

I have lost my marbles.

 

[WannaBeAMumma]

Ha ha ha that's hillarious!! I'm sure 3 times on your most fertile days is as good as it gets, any more and it's just us obsessing about catching that eggy!!!
I don't really know, some people test in the afternoon, it just needs to be a few hours between wees to make sure it's concentrated enough.
Just did an opk, got a really faint line (if it were a hpt I'd call it a squinter) but I've had no second line at all since cd8 so I might test again this afternoon, might be the start of my surge

I'm also from new york! Your story is great- sounds like something I would do! I started to feel bad for my husband... Like I was using him but he did his part and was a goof sport lol. We BDed 3 nights before I ovulated, the morning before I ovulated, and the morning and night I ovulated.

Long Island too...Plandome/Manhasset area. Ha small world!

 

[WannaBeAMumma]

Yeah I'm from Aus! It's ok, no need to filter we all need to let loose, say what you think I say!! DH tends to think I'm a little nutty but he likes it.
Lis, it's ok, I think most DH have the 'my wife is raping me for my sperm' moment when ttc. I know mine did! Lol

My hubby is from NY to - but not the city. He's from upstate New York in Binghamton (I think that's how you spell it?). I'm personally originally from Georgia.

I thought I was out this cycle since me and the DH hadn't BDed during my fertile days, but I guess I'm not out this cycle after all! I got my first positive OPK Sunday morning at 10am and they were positive until 8am yesterday. Took another at 8pm and it was slightly fainter and I was pretty sure me and the DH weren't gonna BD last night but surprise surprise he was feeling frisky and we did!! So I got my one chance for this cycle, and actually on the night of OV. (Btw it's almost 8am Tuesday morning here).

 

[phoebemum]

That's fantastic DSemcho!! I really hope that leads to a bfp for you. Excellent the hubby was up for it hehe.

By the way you're not overweight, saw your photo wen you posted the opk. You look great

How weird is that, both of you ladies so close to each other. What are the chances??

Well I'm on cd17 and still no smiley BUT my cheapy amazon tests are starting to get darker. I'm a bit confused as it would feel really late to get it but I'm taking 2 to work today to check and we will do the deed tonight. Can't hurt anyway even if they don't get fully dark but it would make sense as to why i haven't had my smiley yet. Xx

 

[DSemcho]

GL on getting your positive OPK today or tomorrow phoebe! And yeah I was so surprised that he wanted to have BD time. And yes I am over weight lol, I weight 208lbs I just wear my weight well. I wear a size 12 pants and large shirts (big ole BBs lol)
