Ovulating today but...

[missmegrn]

Ovulating today but my dh is out of town for work starting last night until tomorrow night :(
We were able to dtd sunday night with preseed. I am ovulating 2 days earlier than what I thought I would this month, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to go out of town. Is it possible to conceive a boy with dtd 2 days before O, or is very likely that I could conceive a girl, or even at all?

How do you track ovulation?

Yes it is totally possible to get a boy 2 days before ovulation!!!! Timing does not sway!!! I got 3 of 4 boys 2-3 days before ovulation or even more!!!

How do you track ovulation?

I had a positive opk yest. I also get cramping and side pains the day before ovulation which only intensify on ovulation day. My cm is very slippery and ewcm like. I also do bbt and i had a temp dip today which i normally get before ovulation. I have been tracking my cycles since dec. I also tracked my cycles when i conceived both dds. Yes i know i technically cannot pinpoint ovulation but i know my body and today is the day.

I always knew when I ovulated too as my body made it pretty easy to track before swaying. Both ds's were one night wonders the day before ov, so the frequent bd-ing wasn't necessary for us. I was eating a very boy-friendly diet at the time though and was on the upper side of normal weight for my bmi. I will say that for me, dtd a few days before ov was a very effective form of contraception. We stuck to Shettles timing for a girl for almost a year and nothing happened. However, judging from a lot of ladies' experiences on here, we weren't the norm for this. It just seems that between my usual lack of EWCM in the lead-up to ov (I usually only got it on ov day, or just before) and maybe my dh's swimmers' stamina, cut-offs just ddn't work for us. I really hope that that isn't the case for you and you have a lovely little blue swimmer waiting to catch the egg! You have a great chance!

thanks for the responses..at least there might be a little hope for a bfp this month.

If you grab him when he walks through the door that egg could pos still be holding on if not conceived already! Whats the life cycle of an egg? Time of ovulation? Could there be a 24 hr window?

We really dont' know exactly how long an egg might live, it's prob. different for everyone every month that goes by!! Plus no way to know when you actually O - if it's later than you think, you woudl still have a good chance.
