Hello everyone, this is my first post, so hope I'm in the right place.
I usually ovulate on Day 16, so this month we BD on Day 14, Twice on Day 15 and Day 16. I had a positive OPK very early on Day 16 and felt the usual cramping, so assumed I would O later that day.
On Day 17 I had a fainter but still strong OPK and some EWCM, but DH was not in the mood to DTD, so we skipped that day.
On Day 18 I had copious EWCM and stabbing pains again, but DH was not up for BDing again and I had run out of OPKS! I actually think I probably ovulated this day because there was so much EWCM and what happened on CD16 was actually a failed attempt to ovulate.
The only other scenario is that I released 2 eggs (I've had 7 days of EWCM this cycle and I am still breastfeeding, so it may be more likely).
So what I had thought was a really good boy sway (Sex every 2-4 days in the run up, O-2, O-1(twice) and O, was actually probably O-3 and O-2 with no sex at all on O-1 or O Day!
I am so cross with myself for not trying to space the attempts so that DH -low libido:(- would feel more up to it.
Still hoping for a BFP this month; my diet's been good. Gained 5 pounds slowly, eating really well, prenatals and extra folate etc, but really feel I have ballsed things up with this timing. I have two wonderful little girls but my husband would really like a boy so he's not the only male in the household:)
Thanks so much for reading through this rant!
