Question on attempt

[oxox2013]

I know pattern, frequency, timing etc aren't really huge sway factors but just hoping to get some opinions here on what you guys would do. So best results are 1 attempt at +OPK.... two of my boys are 1 attempt babies and the other one is a two attempt. If I had to guess, I think DH must have had a longer abstain for each so would I be better off trying something more like a daily pattern? Or every few days? I know that I should just go with one attempt at +OPK but the fact that I have conceived two boys with one attempt close to O is getting in my head.....

I understand how your feeling im no expert and i dont really believe that timing sways having said that i concieved both my boys on ovluation my first with 3 attempts at around o and my 2nd with +opk and then ovulation day. For my sway im going to do 7-8 days abstaining at 4 day cut off i know this reduces my odd of pregnancy by ALOT but i dont want no "what ifs" as the months go on i will bring my attempts closer to ovulation if i havent got a bfp. Im in no rush to get pregnant and i feel better for doing the oposite of what got my boys. I believe that diet exercise and 1 attempt are whats more important and go with your gut instinct on timing good luck with your sway

You got your boys DESPITE the pink sway effect of one attempt, due to your diet/exercise/lifestyle and other biological factors which sway much more strongly anyway. I don't think frequency matters, but if you really care try FR or CFR. I'm not a fan of abstain.

Yes, I agree with everything Maiden said and yes, stick with one attempt. Did you eat a blue friendly diet before?

When looking at what you did in the past, you have to understand that swaying is like the tip of a huge iceberg - the stuff we see "above the water" is miniscule compared to all the things that are invisible. It is absolutely possible to do everything "right" and still get an opposite (like 25% of the time!) and if it wasn't the whole human race would have died out a long time ago.

Point being, you just cannot focus in on ONE thing in isolation and start to stress/obsess about that and thinking "aha this was obviously swaying" because it is all but certain you got your boys not because of that, but in SPITE of that. "doing the oppoiste" only works when the thing you're doing the opposite of, was actually swaying blue for you. If it was swaying pink, but you were doing 200 other things to sway blue inadvertenly, then changing that one thing is not going to do anything but make you more likely to get another boy (unless you change some of the other things too)

I think that for best results you should do what has worked for most people most of the time and one attempt has been one of our best tactics consistently.

If you find you really can't do it, then try it with frequency pattern and/or timing at first. But be sure you dropthose BEFORE you add attempts.

Thank you! That was just the advice I needed! Feeling better about my original plan and getting this thought out of my head.
