Argh! Figuring out what I want to do about timing is driving me crazy!

Really don't think you should stress about timing, I started another thread on here about timing the day before you and got some reassuring advice, I would put a link but I don't know how, sorry!! I'm sure it won't be too hard to find. Try not to stress!

He is the clincher, because of my insurance I need to get pregnant ASAP so I need it to happen July or August if I can. I was going to do a 3 day cut off because people who know what they are talking about have recommended, but I am afraid I won't get pregnant. It is the only part in all of this that is really causing me stress.

I don't even know why I am writing this, i think I just needed to get it out.

First of all I would not give the moon a single thought at all.

Stress sways WAY harder than timing does. Put timing out of your mind and just try to get pregnant. A great read if you haven't already is my friend Minerva's blog on IG, http://www.ingender.com/cs/blogs/minervasmom/ (I hope that link works because I am only getting monkeys right now.)

She analyzed hundreds of charts from FF and found that timing really didn't sway too much, it mattered a lot more about whether you have EWCM or not when you BD.

I just feel like besides the moon I have everything else going for me, I don't want to waste that month, KWIM?

But of course, more boys than girls are conceived anyway. 140-160 boys are conceived for every 100 girls (more boys are miscarried so the gender ratio at birth is more like 105-100) So even if timing has NOTHING to do with it, the odds are that you would have conceived a boy any day that you conceived just from sheer luck, KWIM??

Anyone who is in any kind of hurry to get pg should NOT do O+12, it takes forever to get pg that way for most people.
