August 2018 Babies
I was in July but AF has arrived with a vengeance so I'm moving on to TTC an August baby.
Technically this is my 2nd cycle TTC. We started in spring and conceived right away but it ended in a loss. So the first month we were able to try again was October. DH is a truck driver so that makes TTC very difficult. My midwife called in BCP for me today, and I'm going to take them for 2 weeks to delay ovulation so that it will match DH home time for the next 4 months. I'm also Homozygous MTHFR and clotting disorder, so I am on baby aspirin, prenatals with methylfolate, and will start lydia Pinkham when I stop BCP. I need O to occur between Nov 24-29. Any earlier and we will miss it. We are swaying Girl, but only because they are harder to get (for us) and plan two more children total. I'll be happy with whatever we get though!

Pearl_325 amazing lol that's perfect - you have great days! I'm over here trying to avoid days LOL if i get my BFP i would announce to family/close friends xmas (i'm a big wine drinker and everyone would notice) - Thanksgiving would be perfect to find out - i'm in Canada so Thanksgiving is long past but I have xmas which is nice :) (if it happens)
also, this would be a first for me and the "dad" and I asked him why he wasn't asking me when i will be testing etc. he's like "oh i thought you would do something to surprise me". I am not really the type for a card and sappy stuff so i saw online to write it on pizza with the pepperoni LOL and then ask him to take it out of the oven...I'm laughing just thinking about it.

@callmecrazy. Thank you for that. Just a quick question and I am sure it is tedious and I should know the answers but I am new with OPKs. Since I tested today first thing in the morning, can I take it later throughout the day the remaining of the cycle? The instructions says that the meter will keep record of the surge and levels.

dragonfly23 No problem! I know, I was confused at first because Pregnancy tests suggest FMU. As i started to see the surge (even the slightest line) i would BD - and then it started to feel almost like a chore (because it ended up being like 6 or 7 days in a row of BD, which is great for some but we are tired some nights LOL) I didn't realize that the positive test line would have to match or be darker than the control line. (checkout my images - you'll see my positive) I think if this is not my month I would do every other day in my fertility window (per my cycle calendar) and then BD 2 or 3 days in a row once i see positive. My cycle is pretty regular (luckily).

dragonfly- Mine just came up + this afternoon and this morning it was a negative. all the other months it came up + in the afternoon. So if you want to try morning then afternoon go ahead.
mir777- that is what i am doing this cycle SMEP!
AFM i went to dollar store got a OPK and took it just now came out + again!!! Now i am nervous bc estimated AF Nov 30th. that leaves me 12 luteal phase days is that enough time?
