How come you don’t recommend those tactics for pink now just out of curiosity??

A few different reasons:
1)I try to shy away from anything that is said by other sites to actively sway blue. I don't think any of these things are at al magic bullets and it makes people enormously apprehensive
2)It is very possible, indeed likely, that the reason why things seem to sway is due to the individual variations that made some of us have boys or girls to begin with. That's a bit of an esoteric point, so let me explain...it may be that in someone who is already blue friendly, like pink swayers who have had many boys, taking certain nutrients simply adds on to their already good stores of nutrients and may sway more blue. Like, take for example the vegetable oils like the Omega 6/9, right?? If you are already have stores of lots of Omega 3 fats in your system from a lifetime of eating healthy, you can shake off a little Omega 6 leaving the Omega 3 fats to improve your condition.
But if someone - let's say a person who is not a big eater, may have chronic underlying nutrient deficiencies, already HAS an imbalance of Omega 6 fats from eating a poor diet, like a lot of blue swayers with many girls already do, and then they add MORE Omega 6 onto that, then that may just exacerbate an already existing imbalance, and taking the Omega 3 just can't make up for that.
So, long story short, the rules are not the same for pink and blue because they haven't started from the same place to begin with, and nor are they eating the same kind of diet when they sway (this is the more important reason)
and 3)I really dislike maca as it's a huge unknown, barely studied, and I think it tends to mess up people's cycles, so I don't actually recommend it for anyone

I’m on cd 13 and no surge! This is so weird not even a flashy smile and negative in my other opks
Very strange, in the past I’ve always had 3-4 flashy starting cd 11 then pos by cd 14-15. Then I took a cheapie opk and test line was darker than my other opk but not anywhere near positive. I am temping and my cm is changing so hoping I ovulate by cd 15

Were your luteal phases that short when you conceived before??

I’m not sure about my LP to be honest because DS1 was a surprise and DS2 was conceived first go when I just decided to start testing OPKs and get to know my cycle! Lol.

I’ve come to terms with it and overall perhaps it’s for the best with all this COVID-19 craziness. I’m not sure if I’d be able to get all the scans and monitoring I need next pregnancy due to all the social distancing.
Silver linings!!
This is only my second month trying so I’m not overly worried!

Hey I know it’s confusing, but with a temp spike at least you can be pretty sure you ovulated, and your last night attempt is nicely timed.
Did you have any alcohol last night? If I have alcohol the night before, my temp spikes.
