Delayed ovulation and false surge

I am only taking folic acid and Vit D. Levels were low so GP put me on it, though we just came out of winter so that isn't too surprising.

As long as you are in the fertile window when you have the next three attempts, it's all good. What you're doing is WAY different than the type of thing that might sway pink (7-10 days of release before first attempt that could possibly get you pregnatn), and BTW the daily release has not gotten good results for us anyway so even WITH the ddaily release we were getting barely better than 50-50 with that even with otherwise great sways.

I was following SMEP because for 2 cycles we were stopping too early. From what I understand it is best to have 3+ attempts in fertile time for a boy so that seemed to line up with that.
OPKs I am using now are digital and all negative. When I put in temps on FF it gave the O day as cd24 which isn't the guess I wanted. Seems best chance of pregnancy is 0-1 and that would be 4 days after my positive OPK.

At this stage we just need a break from bding so although I am checking with OPKs, we are just waiting to see what happens now.

I am still having difficulty with understanding TTC a boy but I am hoping the bding was at the right time.

SMEP is fine and will sway blue. My point was that you shouldn't continue to have sex day after day since you're prob. out of the fertile window. daily attempts IN the fertile window are fine.

Looks like I didn't ovulate :(
Digital OPK have started showing high readings. Urgh

That's ok switch back to every other or every two days to give him a break, then hit it again when real O is nigh.

Another temp spike this morning and FF guides think I ovulated on Friday. Only bd was that day so very poor effort. Esp for a boy :(
No fertile cm for 7 days so we were waiting for that. Instead I am on day 3 of high fertility, still no peak but rising temps.
so confused

I'm 7 DPO right now and I haven't had fertile CM in weeks. I mark watery or EWCM but to be honest I'm not sure if that's my own CF or a combination of preseed and semen, lol.

It's so hard pinpointing O. I finally got mine after a few false positive OPKs.

It looks like you may have O'd on CD28, like you said. Sorry that's not what you were planning for!

If it is cd28 that bd pattern is girlish right??
:(

Ovulation looks like it was CD28 and yes one attempt is what the girl swayers are doing but you still have your other sway factors working for you and there have been boys conceived from one attempt so I wouldn't panic :)
Good Luck!!

Don't read too much into the pattern, remember, the pink swayers were not ever doing JUST one attempt, so in the stats where you see one attempt getting good results for pink, keep in mind that is one attempt PLUS diet, exercise, and other sway tactics. :)
