You get your first peak reading sometime between 8-48 hours before O (8 is extremely unusual and typically only in people who aren't testing regularly - 48 hours is way more common than 8). The average is 24-36 hours range. So that first peak will be 1-2 days before O Day.Quote:

So you can BD thinking that you're on your last day of high and then get 5 more days of high after that, or you can just wake up one day and see a peak, and it's really a lot harder on you in the long run trying to hit that.Quote:

BD when it is convenient for you because it is very improbable that time of day means ANYTHING. The reason swaying works is because your body detects cues from the environment that indicate to it that a boy or a girl has a better shot at survival to pass down genes to future generations. BD at morning vs. night could not possibly make any difference whatsoever to the survival of a boy vs. a girl in the long term. BD when you can without making yourself too crazy.Quote:

It absolutely COULD still be O-1 or O-2. It's not some hour by hour countdown, it's all about what your body decides to do. Some people are getting first peak 2-3 days before O!!!
