I am still trying to decide about what to do regarding my sway tonight. BD'ed late last night after a 5/6 day abstain and after what I thought was a positive OPK. Well, my OPK is very positive today so I can't decide if we go for it again tonight. Anyway, I also have way more cervical fluid than I ever have and I just have a much higher sex drive. Wouldn't this sway boy? Maybe it has to do with coming off a chemical pregnancy 14 days ago?
If your strategy is abstaining, then you can't try again tonight or you're pretty much negating the benefits of abstaining. So it's your choice, obviously bd'ing tonight would increase your chances of conception but it can also put you in boy territory with all the fresh swimmers in there.
Lots of EWCM can also sway blue. Hard to say the cause, it could be from overactive hormones following your chemical, or other factors. You can take an antihistamine to try to dry it up.
If you're not in a rush to get preggo, though, you're better off just leaving it be since you had an abstain strategy going into this cycle. If you bd tonight you'll pretty much undoing the benefits of abstaining.
I am in a rush to get pregnant. And I just keep thinking about how I just want a healthy baby regardless of the sex but when I picture my family, I really really want a girl. So I am just so torn on how to decide what is best for me. I don't see many charts where women get pregnant with a O-2 cutoff but I feel like the extra EWCM would maybe keep the spermies around longer. I am having some sharp pains so I am wondering if I will ovulate soon. We did BD late last night so we are coming up on 24 hours.
Up to you of course. :) If you've been doing the LE diet for at least 6 weeks you can drop frequency anyways, as the diet trumps everything else in swaying.
Once the broody mood hits us, I think everyone feels like they want to get preggo NOW. But I also read more than one mom (who ended up with opposites) say they wished they'd been more patient and conservative with their ttc attempts, and just given it a few more cycles with more conservative strategies. You don't want to have any regrets later.
GL with deciding, it is tough.
Yeah, I have put some pressure on myself because my girl is over 2.5 and I don't want a huge gap. And my diet has not been girly because I had a chemical pregnancy 14 days ago and when I thought I was pregnant, I ate a very high nutrient diet and was taking prenatals. I just feel like it won't happen at this point. Thank you for responding though!
Exactly ^^^ since you have the additional CM, it's much more likely that you are going to be able to get pg from O-2 cutoff than someone with very little. I'd either have you leave it as it is, or else do a hurry up FR.Quote:
