July 2016 TTC

So if AF showed up midday yesterday, was that day 1 or should I class a full day as day 1, I need to get a blood test day 2 to check egg reserves

So I got my solid smiley this morning and positive OPK this evening

So I'm guessing ovulation will be tomorrow or the next day?

We have abstained the last few weeks and will start tonight for 3 nights if all goes well!!!

I started Maca root this month and I'm really noticing an increase in EWCM(sorry tmi) I normally get it about 5 days before o and it dries up about 2 days before but now it's so abundant and yellow tinged which I've never had. Hopefully this is a sign of something going right this cycle???

Do you mean you haven't dtd in 3 weeks and you will start tonight?

I always was told from FS that abstaining for more than 7 consecutive days can decrease your sperm count and the quality with be poorer. Try to dtd at least once every three days to keep sperm fresh and replenished.

I would count yesterday as day 1, good luck for this cycle! Xx

Oh I didn't know that - when I was reading up about low sperm count it said not to DTD as often.... Damn it I've probably messed up

I'm pretty sure dh mentioned he um had a go by hand last week... So the sperm may only be a week or so old....

I think I have I'd a bit early as well- I was trying to get in the day before and the day of o.... But I got my positive yesterday but it came with a lot of cramping.... None today so thinking I may have o'd the day of the positive.... So last night is our only chance seriously what bad luck I have....

Still no more signs of AF, just the spotting this morning

I got my positive OPK yesterday, DTD last night and I'm not hopeful, but maybe another one tonight and then I'll be in the TWW!

Chin up hun - it only takes one time to be successful - it just doesn't feel like that when trying, huh?!! I feel exactly the same - have we timed it right?, did we do it enough?, what days are the most important?!, am I/we too stressed?, etc.

Good luck...

Gah! Got a digital OPK on the way home from work. Blank circle!! I'm CD14 and on day 5 of EWCM, and have usually O around day 5 of EWCM. Did another eBay cheapie and it still has a faint line. Maybe I haven't O yet, but surely I must be in flashing smiley territory after 5 days of EWCM??

Oh no!!! So frustrating - I had flashy smile for 7 days... started CD14 to CD20 then got my solid on CD21!
