Hello! I'm new and am desperate for a last minute girl sway!

[atomic sagebrush]

Oats a couple times won't hurt anything. I agree with your "no no-no's" approach. Women had boys and girls in Scotland where oats are a staple.

if you can only try this month, i'd definitely try!!!

hello everyone

Eek! I can't decide if I'm excited or nervous - I must be both haha.
I read the article 'the trouble with timing' and it does make total sense. However, I have one last (I hope) question before we DTD. My ovulation day is either day 17 or 18. I conceived 1st son on CD 16, then conceived (and miscarried) on CD 15, then conceived my 2nd son on CD 15. My question is, even though the timing thing isn't true, should I try and conceive on a different cycle day that I haven't tried before just to give it a try? Although from memory I never got oregnant on CD 14... just wondering from other mothers of 2 or more boys and THEN a girl... were they all conceived on different or same cycle days? I know that's a very broad question, I'm just starting to become undecided on which day I should DTD on.
Thanks again

We all feel that way, mama!

NO you should not try to conceive on a different CD. Technically, you always conceive on O Day anyway LOL because the egg doesn' show up till then.

Your cycle changes every month. Your O day does too. And swaying makes this even more dramatic. Your body doesn't KNOW what CD you're on, it really doesn't.

I got 3 of my 4 boys with cutoff but NOT on the same CD. - my first son I had sex right after I got off my period and it had to be like 5 days or more cutoff. the other one we were trying and then hubby changed his mind before I Oed but I got pg anyway, 3-4 days before O. My third was a Shettles opposite and I had sex 2 days before O. My 4th was a sneak attack.

Both O-1 and O-2 have good odds of conception. That's why we generally aim for one or the other. not because it sways, but because it's good chances of pregnancy with one attempt

Ok, thanks for putting my mind at ease! I will stick with day 15 then
Wish me luck!!

Oats on occasion are definitely no sway killer, I just don't recommend regular consumption. I used to edit for a living so I'm a stickler for details.

I'm on CD10 and also O around CD18 (though hoping to maybe O CD15ish since I'm on Clomid). Nice to have a cycle buddy. fx for us both!

[atomic sagebrush]

The thing is, we toss these things out there and then people take it SOOO far. They end up accidentally eating a scone and ending up hyperventilating thinking they ruined their sway. Hence, I mention it for the people who end up panicking over stuff like that.

[Mama-of-boys]

Sorry, just saw these messages now. Oooh how
exciting, Maiden! Yes fx for us both! ��
Ok, so my attempt is in 2 days time (exactly) which will be CD15. I have, at the last minute, decided to add aci jel to my sway which I bought this afternoon. I read your essay, atomic, but just wanted to confirm that your latest recommendation is still 1/2 applicator 2 days before OR a fingertip amount morning or attempt an hour before. Just wanted to check that this is still what you recommend? Anyone else who has used this as part of their sway please let me know what you did! I won't be using any other gels, douches etc. And it will be just one attempt 2-3 days before ovulation. Any suggestions are very welcome! Getting excited! Thanks maiden and atomic for all your help so far ������
