Update - it's a GIRL
This was our 3 TTC, first month I didn't know that I ovulate late in the cycle so by the time I got +ve OPK , DH abstinence was 7 days so we didn't try, last month L-Arg messed up my ovulation so by the time I got +ve OPK ( only once) the fertile window was gone, we tried but BFN. I was following much better HE diet these two months . This month I was more casual with the diet, dropped L-Arg and added folic acid. I was just happy and relaxed this month.The Ovulation was as expected and today I got my BFP :))

OWT - anything under bed? No but kept picture of hubby as a baby in front of my bed.
COMMENTS - I would not call my attempt a hardcore but I am happy with it. I did have confusion about the O timing but I think we were fine. Last month we did redbull before BD but this month we forgot. I was paying much more attention to my body for O signs and on Sunday ( Nov 11) I was feeling some tingling in breast, O pain and stuff, at night I did OPK but negative, still we went ahead and BD, then Monday morning I had positive OPK and we BD again... I got +ve OPK till Tuesday evening but we did not BD again to avoid O+12 zone. I would be happy with a healthy baby but really happy with a healthy baby BOY. This is our last so .... it would be awesome to have a son.
My sway failed, may be I am meant to have girls... I am happy that the baby is healthy. I am already getting excited for my new baby girl. Thanks for evrybody's help and encouragement.
