Timing help?

I've been very loosely attempting a girl sway. I didn't get my husband on board to TTC until this month so didn't pay too much attention to the diet. Over the past year I have lost 15 pounds and workout 60-90 minutes a day. I drink wine and coffee religiously. I eat meat and probably am closer to 2000-2500 calories a day. I am 35.

I'm going to actively try to get pregnant this month because I would like my child to be in a certain school year!

Now, timing for sex...

I had sex last night. Woke up this morning to a positive OPK. I am SOOOOO tempted to have sex again tonight or tomorrow morning, but don't think that's smart for a girl sway.

Can I still get preggers with an attempt last night, before the positive OPK? Or should I try again?

Thanks so much. And if I don't get pregnant- I'm sticking to the diet hard core for the next 4 weeks!

You can get pregnant with an O-2 attempt, odds are slightly lower than O-1 conception wise but the odds are better for girl if you leave it at one attempt.

Looks like a good sway you have started. Good luck!

I would leave it at the one attempt as well and if no BFP this time, then next time do your attempt when you get a positive OPK (that night maybe). When we conceived our daughter we BD 6, 3 and 1 day before O as well as the day of O and the day after O (all night time BDs and just the once). It frustrates me as I would love to repeat the pattern to get another girl, but that's too difficult and our pattern for getting our first boy is very similar, except that we BD two days in a row twice prior to O. There is definitely a LOT more to swaying than just the timing of BD. Good luck with this attempt and I hope you get a BFP. :)

O-2 is actually the best timing, a little better than O-1 in general studies. Do not add another attempt! Good luck!

Okay, I'm going crazy here (sorry).

I'm still getting positive OPKs, making me think that I still haven't ovulated.

Here are the exact times-

7:00 PM Tuesday night DTD
7:00 AM Wednesday Pos OPK
7:00 PM Wednesday Pos OPK
1:00 PM Thursday Pos OPK

Are sperm from Tuesday night really going to last that long? Should I try and have sex Thursday PM or Friday AM?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I have a friend who just found out she is having a boy after doing O-2. I thought to get a girl your best odds were to BD every 3-4 days and have one only attempt at your first pos OPK?

I'm not 100% sure Hun but I have read that sperm can last up to 5 days inside the women. I would hold off going again but that's just me. Atomic would be the best one to advise you Hun. Good luck. If you do try again I think night time BD is the best way to go for girl swaying. Try to get a reply from Atomic though Hun.

Bucky, it is completely normal to have 2 days of positive OPKs. Generally you only care about the first one, as will usually O 1-2 days after getting it, regardless of how many positive OPKs you get. You can O before or after you stop getting positive OPKs.

1moregirl, I'm talking about best timing for odds of conception if you only BD once, NOT swaying pink. You are correct in what you said you said about swaying pink.

It all gets soooo confusing doesn't it? When I look back at my charts for my first two children (boy then girl) I cannot find a difference in BD patterns or anything in my diet. Soooo frustrating! I always have 2 days of positive OPKs (I only test in the mornings) and I usually O sometime on the night of the morning I got my second pos OPK. I always knew because I used to measure my BBT and Fertility Friend would usually mark it on the second day of pos OPK or sometimes the day after my second pos OPK. And I have heard that some ladies can get more than 2 days of pos OPKs, espeically if O gets delayed due to stress or being unwell. I definitely don't think you should BD again this cycle. And next cycle (if you don't get a BFP this time) make sure you do ONE attempt on the day you get your FIRsT pos OPK. good luck :)

Can you post photos of the tests? Is the line as dark or darker than the control line?
