Im using ClearBlue digital OPKs and the instructions say use FMU. Is this what people typically do (since LH surge is often later in day)?

For me, I liked peeing on one thing (cbadv with fmu) and be done with it. The cost was worth the convenience in my case bc 1) they <i>worked</i> for me 2) I could communicate easily to DH, "it's blinkie smiley day...." ;) ;) while I never felt like I got a true positive on the wondfos.
Other ladies get a short surge and feel like they will totally miss it if they only do fmu, hence the sort of, "afternoon confirmation," approach @looeeze mentioned. My best advice is try things for yourself and do what works <i>for you</i>. ;)
....And get an SA after a reasonable amount of time... ffs lol (see siggy) Welcome and GL!!!
I wear a Fitbit and my resting HR is down to 51. This seams low and I'm worried it could be related to my thyroid since I also struggle with weight recently. Any ideas and or suggestions?

How could I forget --
<b>MUCINEX</b> the blue one I think that's just guafenesin or robitussen, same deal. You only want the one drug in there that gets the mucus moving tho, no cough suppressant lol
Something you can avoid is vitamin C during FW -- it can dry up your CM. I don't take any vitamin C-containing supplements during FW and I try not to eat too many citrus fruits (though I don't avoid vitamin C-containing foods entirely).
Just make sure to stop because I don't think Mucinex is pregnancy-safe.

@pebbledam I know what you mean. We started TTC last June (ouch) and I took claritin or zyrtec all summer because that's a prime time for my allergies. I only stopped taking them when it had been a while with no bfp, but then I only stopped during FW, definitely not during AF or TWW... I didn't grow up here so my body freaks out with all the New York plants!
My chart just looks crazy to me but somehow I got crosshairs on FF and natural cycles agrees.

@kbamomma33- Thanks for all that info. When I did my research (google) I couldn't find anything on implantation dips with fallback... I guess I could put the key words in right because it HAS to happen. I wish I wasn't already paying for NC because then I could use the "charts like yours" feature in FF.
HAHA... as for the sex....yeaaaa..... he made this "sex every day for a month pact..." but you can see I started to realize this cycle was going to be long so we had to put the brakes on that. Still squeezed in a good amount of sex but damn, I was worried for my vagina. ha #yeastinfectionfears

@vflux33 and I were curious about this in TWW for somewhat different reasons.
For me, TW when I was KU with my loss, I turned negative tests until 16dpo, but that would mean super late implantation right? In retrospect I was using digitals at the time so it could've just been that.
Baskcally, though, generally speaking, is a BFN at 14dpo probably a true BFN for everyone, regardless of LP, if you're using pink dye tests?
