how to increase odds of conception ttc girl

Unless you are very sure of your cycles, one attempt is risky. Before I knew about my delayed ov I was doing one cut off attempt for ages to no avail and then when I worked out ov might be delayed I tried for one attempt at 0+12 but kept hitting ov exactly.

Yes! Last one was every 4 days and I think the attempt that got me pg is 1 day before o

My advice is switch to the every 4 days plus one more attempt at pos OPK.

Right, but we aren't DOING cutoff timing and are certainly not doing O+12 (which has pisspoor odds of conception). We are doing one attempt at positive OPK because it has BEST odds of conception. It is absolutely completely possible to get pregnant with one attempt and in fact it's easily done provided that you aren't doing gobs of other sway tactics at the same time. One batch of semen can have tens to even hundreds of millions of sperm in it.

It takes fully fertile couples doing nothing to sway, an average of 3-6 months to fall pregnant. I would not start adding attempts just yet. I would actually prefer to see you add some Preseed instead of more than 2 attempts!

So it might mean you need more attempts after your first one as you could just be cutting off too early. Ask atomic but if you are struggling you need to get more attempts in quickly before you drop too much more of your sway.

Our results have shown that one attempt (regardless of timing) has gotten consistently good results and so we are now erring on the side of fewer attempts. :) It has nothing to do with either Shettles or O+12 timing, this is our numbers only regardless of the timing of attempt. New method, not the old crap that wasn't working. :)

Thank u atomic I like the sound of every 4 days and 1bd at positive opk. Just to make sure I understand correctly. Do me and my husband bd every 4th day then 1 at pos opk. And what if pos opk is the day after bding (4th day) or 2 days after? And what exactly does preseed do?. Ive never tried it

Sweet dream lets hope it works for me like it did for u!!! Thank u for all of the replies ladies. And sorry if im asking too many questions. I just wanna get this right

Yes. Even if it's the day after BD or 2 days after (if you want to be in with best odds of conception, that is)

Preseed is a sperm friendly vaginal lubricant. It is a bit boy friendly but when people really do need a little help getting sperm to meet egg, it can be a way to help make that happen. :)

I wasn't suggesting the poster DO cut off I was just trying to explain that if she had any kind of delayed ov then by stopping (that's probably the word I should have used) at +opk might be too soon.
