Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

I am attatching my chart for you to take a look.

I BD'd on CD11 at night, CD12 I got a on my OPK with FMU (that was yesterday) Dh worked late and I really wasn't feeling well, I feel very nausous and I think I freaked out a little that we are actually trying to get pregnant. So when DH woke me up to BD last night I just wasn't feeling it so we didn't

This morning CD13 I got a negative on my OPK so you would think that I O'd today but then when I took my temp it was even lower than yesterday. But I was up all night, never got a full 3 hrs.

So to sum up this long ramble. We only BD'd once this cycle, my temps are messed up and I freaked out over TTC and sabotaged myself by not BDing last night.

If for some strange reason I actually get a BFP (which by the way I wont even test now unless AF is late b/c I feel like I have no chance anyway) I will be 100% shocked.

I don't chart so I can't offer much help there. But you do still have a chance even with just the one night of BD. Sperm tif healthy and viable) can live for up to 36 hours in a fertile environment.

I don't mean to be too personal but you said you "freaked out" about TTC. Have you been having doubts? I myself sometimes question whether we are "ready" or not but ultimately for me it comes down to us both wanting to have children and we are not getting any younger.
Plus, IMO - I don't think you can ever be 100 percent ready. There will always be something going on and timing is never perfect.

I wouldn't stress too much about this cycle. If u get a BFP then I'm sure you will be ok and if not, you and DH can have a heart to heart about how you want to proceed.

You still have a chance. Like the PP said, sperm can live up to 5 days in a fertile environment. Also, you can O up to 36 hours after a + OPK. So maybe you will have your temp rise tomorrow and you still have another opportunity to BD today.

Remember, it only takes one time! Stay strong!

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

First, you still have a chance, even with only one night of BDing. That's all it really takes.

Second, it's natural to kind of "freak" when you actually start. I think a lot of us can relate. The first few times we BD without BC were so strange for me. But after I got the BFN for that cycle, it helped things "click" for me.

Good luck!

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

You definitely still have a chance. I'd BD'd today, too.

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

If i were you - id BD as soon as you can today - it might help since it looks like your probably O'ing today.

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

i totally understand...we are in the same situation. just have to take a deep breath and go with it! we're nervous too, but feel it's time since we don't know how long it will take to get preggers. good luck!

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

I only BD'ed once the entire month that I got pregnant with my current child. I had been in the hospital for emergency surgery and I was still recovering from the op. All it takes is one time

Re: Looks like cycle 1 is a wash

Good luck!! Your not out until she comes!!!
