    Hmmm. Do/could you have PCOS? What time of day do you test?

    My Ovulation Chart     currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    They are all -, are you taking anything? Also, is there any chance you have PCOS? If so, some women with PCOS aren't able to use OPKs. When do you normally O?

    I just got a fourth one exactly the same today. I'm not sure about PCOS. I don't think. I got pregnant with my boys first month trying both times and have a normal period. I never O this early though. This is the first month trying to pin point O so we can sway for a girl.

    Are those Wondfo tests? For some women, including myself, they were just way too sensitive. I was getting 5+ days of positives in a row and it was really annoying! I switched over to the Babi brand and they have been great. I now get 2 days of positives and then they go negative the day I ovulate. Much better. No more Wondfo tests for me!
    Me: 35 years old. Was an infant nanny and birth and postpartum doula. Now a full time SAHM.
    DS1: Aug 2003 (my first home birthed water baby!)
    DS2: May 2009 (my second home birthed water baby!)
    Oct 2014
    July 2016: Laproscopic surgery to remove a ping pong ball sized endometrioma on left ovary and 3 pea size fibroids on outside of uterus. Hysteroscopy to remove one larger "penetrating fibroid" inside uterus.
    Oct 2016: Heartbroken after DH's vasectomy. Looks like my dreams of a daughter are gone.

    I got 3 days of +opks and I'm taking Vitex and Saw Palmetto. Do you think that's the reason? If so, should I drop them?

    Are they messing up your cycle in other ways??

    I probably wouldn't drop them for that reason alone, although they have only been getting so-so results.
