ttc a girl

We have given up on LR except for the handful of people who truly feel they won't be able to live if they don't include it. While on paper it ~should~ sway pink, we have had dreadful results of only about 38% success with it.

You have recommended tdt one day before ovulation which we will do.
I'm not 100% on the following thought. You said to tdt every 72 hours after sex. So tdt again 72 hours after first attempt even if I'm sure I have ovulated?
Many thanks, B

Yes every 72 hours even after you think you've ovulated (exception being if you had your ovulation confirmed by bloodtest or ultrasound)

You would be amazed how many people think they ovulated and didn't. Even highly trained experts such as myself can get it wrong. One month I ended up going to the doctor for a pregnancy test after an amazingly realistic false ovulation. I hadn't ovulated!

:agree: ok great! Yes be sure to keep eating enough and have a variety, as it makes it much easier to stick to diet and continues giving your body enough nutrients to get and stay pregnant.

Neither works and both cut odds of cocneption hugely and add a lot of control freak stress. Up to you but I would personally skip them (and did when I got my DD since my husband would not have done either of them anyway!)

Thank you very much for your advice once again. I explained to DH that we don't need to worry about licorace root but he said he doesnt mind taking it amd trying it for just one month just to see if it helps sway but is this safe to do so with the OLE if not I will tell him not to bother?

Hi Atomic,

Do you believe ttc -1/-2 days before ovulation makes a big difference?

Looking over the info you have already given I think I might tell dh to leave out the licorace root if it its not helping and just do OLE, I was really torn whether to do it or not, we prevoius prenancies including the miscarriage we conceived straight away

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM LICORICE ROOT.

Our results with licorice root were HORRIBLE. The majority of people who took it had BOYS.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM LICORICE ROOT.

Timing doesn't sway. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...le-timing.html The only reason we aim at O-1 is because it's a good day to conceive with one attempt and it coincides with the positive OPK (so it's easy to know when to have that one attempt.)
