Thread: One attempt

I was still stressing over this, so I phoned Clearblue and asked them about testing just once a day first thing in the morning, as I have read that LH surge is usually first detectable from around midday, meaning that by the time I get my positive the next morning I might have already ovulated!? They advised me that the second peak day could catch the egg after ovulation.
I'm going to post details if my attempt. I'm thinking we might not have done enough to make conception likely. I'm 38. DH is 44.
I only tested with OPK once a day when I woke up.
I'd be very grateful for your thoughts.
Sunday 11pm - DH released outside
Monday 8am negative opk
Monday midday - DH released outside
Monday 2pm, 2hours after release - DTD
Tuesday 8am negative opk
Wednesday 8am positive opk
Wednesday 9am - DH released outside
Wednesday night midnight - DTD

Even if your second time DTD was too far after ovulation (it probably wasn't anyway), your Monday DTD was in the fertile window as well. I wouldn't stress over it. Its done now. I think your chances are fin for pregnancy.

I want to think that we weren't too late Wednesday midnight, but if surges usually start in the afternoon, and ovulation is 12-36 hours later, ovulation would have been early hours of Thursday morning at latest, and don't we need at least 8 hours after DTD for sperm to capacitate?

^^Yes. Only one attempt will be in the fertile window if you DTD every 4 days.

I got pregnant two times with one attempt - both results are boys :-) DS#2 was conceived when I was 37 and DS#3 at 38 (for DS#3 this one time was about 4 days before O, we didn't DTD for a week after that since DH was out of town, so I don't know how this little guy made it through))) So I guess one attempt does not sway pink for us... But I know that both times (we were not swaying, they were oops pregnancies) we did not DTD 5-7 days before that one attempt, which makes me think that if we decide to TTC pink in the future we should try FR for DH. Does it make sense?
DS1 - April 2010
DS2 - March 2013
Hoped for a but blessed with another
EDD 12 December 2014!

Lots of DS's from one attempt! But good to hear of successful pregnancies from it, congratulations tulations.!
I'm worried that my first attemp, on Monday, was straight after a release outside, and was shallow, and I J&D'd, thinking that wouldn't leave many swimmers to get through! So was relying on Wednesdays attempt, which I now think was too late!

Yes I'm kind of wondering about the one attempt for girl thing. When reading the 'how we made our girls' thread the majority had multiple attempts in the fertile window. Hmmm
