It's okay, 'cause I think you're "supposed" to wait 24 hours between BDing anyway to give both of you guys time for your fluids to recover. DH and I usually try and wait about 36 hours between, but this time around we only waited 24-28, then on the morning of my temp rise it had only been 12 hours, but at that point it didn't matter 'cause DTD back-to-back so quickly would have been better than not at all, and that one extra little push might have been just what we needed! If not, it wasn't gonna hurt anything, since there wouldn't be any future BDing to worry about 'cause my temp was already up.
I hope you catch that eggie. I don't know a lot of your story, but I know enough to know how much you deserve to welcome a sweet little baby into your family. Of course I'd love to see all the girls here pregnant and carrying to term, but you've really been through enough, so it's about time that something just be easy for you.

Aww thank you!! 
I am hoping we can BD tonight...not sure if that will happen though, with a 3 yr old around it doesn't happen at night normally lol. I still got another positive OPK yesterday. I am about to take another one today. I think I might have ovulated last night. But what is weird is I had very light spots of blood last night. Not sure why though. Also I was going to temp this morning and my thermometer ran out of batteries!!

Aaahhhh, I would be SO ANGRY at my thermometer if it gave out on me on such an important day!!! It's unlikely FF will give you CH since you only have 2 days of pre-O temps, but you can force-feed them once you have a temp rise, you just might not know your "baseline" (if that's the right word)... Without temps, if I had to guess, I'd put you either Oing last night (which I'd think most likely) or sometime today. Are you going to replace the batteries or get a new thermometer in time to take your temp tomorrow?

I am going right now actually to get a new thermometer!! I think my daughter ran the batteries out. I am going to temp from now on. Dh didn't want me too but I told him I needed to start doing it now so we can use that method to not get pregnant later on. 
What is CH? How do you force feed it lol??

CH = Crosshairs. If you click my chart you'll see the red, which indicates my O date as well as my coverline temp that post-O temps should typically stay above. You can select your own O date, and choose to or not to input what you would estimate your coverline to be. I'm not sure exactly what steps to take for that 'cause I don't normally do it...
