Hi everyone.Just started using the clearblue fertility moniter .Was going to try the 2-3 day cut off to sway for a girl.Do we dtd every other day up until the high fertility bar shows,or continue until the peak bar appears.I know its something to do with the lh surge but not sure on timing etc:think:
Well I am swaying blue and my plan is to dtd every 2 days and when I hit high I will get hubby to abstain (I had high for 3 days last cycle so hoping for the same again) and when it goes to peak we will DTD.
You'd probably want to dtd daily on every "high" day but not the peaks to aim for a 1-3 day cut off

What do you suggest BD wise leading up to the highs? No BD at all?Quote:

Normally I would suggest to BD through OV, or at least BD on the first peak too.... but I know some women aren't comfortable with that for various reasons.
Thanks everyone for your help when the bar goes to high fertility does that mean the lh surge is happening,and the peak fertility bar is when the egg pops out.
GeCon -For swaying for a girl i think your other half releases daily from after your af,then bd every day up to the cut off(if thats the method you want to do)Im sure one of the more knowledgeable ladies will explain better ha.
when it goes to "high" it means that your oestrogen levels are increasing. Oestrogen is produced by developing follicles and this becomes quite high before the LH surge is triggered. The "peak" means that the LH surge has been detected along with high oestrogen levels.Quote:

that's right, which is why there are two peak days... because DTD on the day before and the day of OV are the most fertile and you will likely OV on one of the peaks
