Once a day for 10 days will definitely be him trying to ‘keep up’. He will be shattered, but let’s do it 😆
Can I ask on timing of BD and abstaining before it. Would you recommend holding off for 24 hours before BD? (if we can timings wise) and also the timings of ovulation and BD. You would suggest a few days before a confirmed ovulation? Is that the first day a OPK would show a line? Even a faint one.
I have been tracking since April 2021, but obviously the ivf has mucked that up!! Usually I am about day 20 but it’s all in the air atm.
Thank you again, and again, an again xx

No, I do not recommend abstaining before BD. That would undo the potential benefit of the daily release. Just have a release every 7 (no need to do the full 10 if he can't manage) days before the one attempt, and have an attempt at any point that 8th day when it's convenient. Worrying about the number of hours is just a meaningless detail that simply aggravates control freakishness (which can sway somewhat blue.)
No, positive OPK is not a faint line. Believe it or not, even your husband could get lines like that sometimes on an OPK if he used them. In order for an OPK to be positive, the line needs to be as dark or darker than the control DO NOT wait for the darkest test, have the attempt the first day (the night of that day is fine!) the lines are equally dark even if htey get darker later on.
Swaying does tend to change cycles as well. No worries about not having a regular cycle or tracking in advance, neither of those things are necessities.

I know this post is older, but i had the identical outcome but flipped -- wanted a boy. We had a girl already. Did two IVF cycles and had 16 eggs turn into 2 embryos -- one boy (abnormal) and one girl (normal). Second cycle resulted in four embryos - one abnormal girl, two abnormal boys and one normal girl. Swayed for boy -- got a girl.
Eventually did two more cycles. Third cycle was a complete mess during lockdowns -- ended up with one embryo, mosaic boy. Finally did four cycle. THREE normal, healthy boys. My 3AA just turned one.
I learned firsthand that it's an odds game and very easy to see patterns where there are none. Not everyone can do what we did, and I was fortunate that I was able to go to a clinic that still worked during lockdowns, was cheap, and then cut me a deal on the sly as well. That plus working around the clock enabled me to try those two more times, which essentially left me with 4 of my DG.

So sorry to hear your story, but I cannot give you advice but just lots of luck. In my case I had an embryo donation to have my girl and I had my treatment done overseas. Good luck on your pink swaying!

Hi this is an old post so just wondered how things turned out for you? Did you finally get your girl? And was it natural with pink swaying?
