If you have a positive OPK then you are ovulating now. On your chart it is the high temp on cd11 that is making FF say that you ovulated. If you change that to something similar to cd10 then it should fix your ovulation day. Good luck!Quote:

Worse that can happen is I either wont get pregnant or Ill have a boy loll And if that happenes at least Illl have an even number of them, then they wont gang up on each other 2 to 1! llol So Fx for a pink blessing!!!
Not taken test yet in London visiting my sister so will have to wait till i get home Saturday , i did do a test on tues (12dpo) before i left home which was BFN.. So just have to wait and see good luck To all you lovely ladies xx
Fingers crossed and have fun on your trip!!!
Mountainviews, thank you! But isnt it known that to some people the acetic acid raises ph? I haven't tired last cycle and I want to TTC this month, so maybe it is risky to try it without knowing what it does... or can I see what happens in the early days of the cycle, after AF, and what happens then will happen during O- lower or raise my ph?
What do you think about supp? I have heard that it can have the effect of swaing boy, because you body will be nourished, and well, when for a girl you have to "starve" ahahah
and milk? it is said raise a certain hormone you dont want to swaying girl... what did you do?
Took a test today BFN.. Yer a day late how frustrating either AF is late and will show up anytime or hcg levels aren't high enough yet hate not knowing :/
mummy you are not out til the old hag shows her ugly face, so keep positive. Praying for you..
Thank you keeping everything crossed just wish i knew 1 way or the other its torture not knowing lol going to hold off from testing untill Sunday if i can good luck to you all
Oh Mummy!! I hope this is it for you! Are you temping? Any clues there?
I'm cd10 today.. 6 day abstain so far. It's going to be funny when I tell DH we aren't doing it again for another however many days til I ovulate... Haha! :D
Hi to all the new peeps! Just by way of an FYI - Atomic probably wont check this thread for Q's. ;) :)
I can't remember who asked about milk.. It's not good for girl swaying at all.. There's lots of protein in milk (and fat, depending on the type you're drinking) and it will raise your blood sugar level and keep it elevated - which we don't want. Atomic isn't a fan at all of lots of milk. A little bit in a coffee is probably all that would be recommended. Definitely not 6 glasses a day. ;)
Whoever asked about frequency ... If your DH is having issues with abstain AND frequent, maybe try compressed frequent release.. It's still early for me so I won't try and explain it.. But if you look in the essays, there is one on the different types of frequency you can use and it's perhaps a more doable one for you and your DH. :)
Kelann... Hope AF stays away... :) fx'd
Meeks, I'm really sorry she came. I know I'd be devo too.. :( have you upped your cals a bit more to stave off the weightloss? My friend is swaying hard at the moment too, and she is literally skin and bones. She's had to go up to 1850cals to stabilize, and even then she's still losing very very slowly.. Boy mum metabolism eh?! ;)
Kraizy how you doing?
I'm sorry, since this is called TTC in November and since it is what I am doing I thought I was in the right place!
Isabel don't be sorry!!!! :) just if you need atomic's help she may miss your questions here! :) :) everyone on any thread is happy to help.
I edited my reply after re reading it ... Hehe :o sounded a bit snippety didn't it?! :)
Isabel, have you started your sway yet? What is your plan? :)
No not temping so guess its just a waiting game im usually quite regular and never more than a day or 2 late so should know soon enough will be taking another test on Sunday if AF stays away xxQuote:

But I'm feeling kind of lost on the diet because until now I was betting everything on daily food, mainly milk, yogurt and ice cream, supp of calcium mag and cranberry, chicken, rice.... Now I hear is no good? Supp will make you healthy which sways boy? and milk isn't good either.... completely lost!
I will monitor my ph, planning on using rephresh every 3 days and on day of BD, aci jel maybe 2 hr before too.... dont know if should use something after to help ph go lower... lime or vinegar douche seems to agressive to my vj... don't know if I should go there...
Abour frequency of BD... anytime whe want... I really dont think timing matters since I've seen parents of boys bd on girl timming and vice versa.... I will most deff avoid BD on EWCM, but low ph and diet should avoid that anyway - this last cycle, the 1st with diet and supp, i hardly had any EWCM..
As for ions... well my o will be close to a full moon, i have anion pads, lavender oil diffuser, rose quartz, smoky quartz, black tourmaline as bracelets on me all the time! oh and one of those ions for pc! Hvae a fish tank just outside, many plants at home...
Hey ladies- I'd like to join you in TTC in November.
My name is Cortney. I have two boys and am hoping to give my boys the sister they've been asking for and the daughter that we've been hoping for.
DH and I will start FR sometime next week and hope to do a couple of attempts once we get a pos OPK.
I can't wait to eat well again. I've lost four pounds and hope to be able to keep losing through the attempt and the 2WW.
Fingers crossed for all of you. I hope we see lots of BFPs this month. :)
I've received my thermometer now so will start temping tomorrow. Any tips? I'm assuming I'm going to have another long cycle so expecting to O next weekend. Last cycle we found FR hard going so may do compressed FR instead. Getting nervous about staying on the LE diet much longer as I've lost 16lbs now in two months and my BMI is about 19 now I think. Really want a BFP this cycle! x
Isabel - I can help with diet... I don't know how many cals you're sticking to, but I'm doing 1200-1300 a day and am eating ...... 1 small tub of low fat/full sugar probiotic yoghurt, sliced cucumbers with 2T of hommus, 4-5 large mushrooms fried in a teaspoon of butter and some red licorice or fun-size/mini chocolate bars. Then for dinner I'm having a low sodium wrap with sliced zucchini, mushrooms, low sodium tomato paste and 50g mozzarella cheese in the oven. Then I use up the rest of my cals on lollies or something empty. I literally do the same thing every day, with the only variants being the choice of sweets.
I have to watch fat and protein -- hommus and mozzarella have reasonably high amounts, and the wonder white wraps I have are high in protein! So as long as you have counted everything, you're golden. :) :)
I wouldn't worry about the cal-mag, but if you're really keen you can do it. I'm guessing you're an IG refugee? ;)
So I suspect I will O tomorrow, got a positive OPK today and often O on cd12. We dtd yesterday and once more on cd7 I believe. We were trying more than that but it just isn't going to happen. I guess yesterday is good enough.... I did rephresh the day before and if my temp doesn't rise in the AM mayby we'll try once before work...maybe not. I have been lazy on the sway but I'll stick to no breakfast during my 2ww this time.
Ladies I hope I can clear a few things up for anyone who is an IG refugee... As I was a few months ago.
TIMING doesn't sway, FREQUENCY sways. So doing it 3-5 days from o, or o+12 won't make a girl, doing it just once in your fertile week (most try one attempt at +opk) is called Abstain, and that sways pink because 7-14 days of no sex for anyone under 35 is safe and lowers sperm quality. Similarity, Frequent Release (FR) is where hubby releases daily (at least) for 7+ days prior to the fertile window, and you bd or use turkey baster method to do your attempts. Do not bd each time at the start of FR or it doesn't work, you have to lower his sperm count first.
Diet here is different. There are no banned foods, you eat 1500-1800 cals a day for slow weight loss (some do 1200 but atomic doesn't think that's safe for fertility). There are salt, protein and fat limits to stick to, which is what the others are talking about, it can be hard sticking to them while eating enough calories. Basically you become vegetarian, stick to the salt, protein and fat, and some of us still steer clear of the really nutritious foods or some of the IG no no foods just to cover our bases.

I dont want to be on the diet too long as Im struggling just to maintain my weight now, Ive lost so much.
Good Luck! And hope Nov is everyones lucky month x x x
We had planned to just do the one attempt at first +opk, but it all just got a bit messed up this month. I still think my sway was really good. DH FR every day, but started WAY too early as I didnt end up O until cd28!! So he ended up going 3 weeks straight! He's a machine! We also ended up doing several attempts as I got a few +opks, but then the body didnt actually O truley until the wkend. So we did DTD leading up to O and through O. My reasoning is that by then, DH wouldnt have much sperm with every release so it was best to cover our bases and do it every night when I knew I really was O (not the flase + we got at the beginning of the week)
Anyway, I hope I havent put myself into boy friendly territory by doing several attempts. But I am on strict LE diet, supps, rephresh aci jel etc etc so hope that all works in my favour!
good luck everyone!
x x
DTD a number of times leading up to and through O is TOTALLY OK if you have had DH releasing daily for at least a week before your first attempt, I think what you did is perfect, although poor DH after 3 weeks, lol!!Quote:

My only advice is that vaginal temping is more accurate than orally.Quote:

DH got home from a business trip on Saturday and we started our FR. Hopefully we can go the distance :)
Good luck everyone!
Thanks Kraizy. I'm on CD17 now and doing my OPKs and temps so lets hope I get a clear positive OPK this time! How do I know when to do CFR as I have no idea when I will O? Do you think if we release once every day until I get a positive OPK that'll be OK? What if we only get three days in in time?
I am out ladies, on to the next cycle. Best of luck and blessings to you all...
Sorry to hear that Kraizy x
Hey Weezie good to hear from you, been wondering how your getting on xQuote:

Sorry to hear x x Thinking of you, hope the next month goes quickly for you and you get your BFP next month. I have my fingers crossed x xQuote:

We dtd sunday morning, monday night tuesday night and this morning and now i have my smiley will attempt tonight too and possibly tomorrow too if its worth it ?
Keep going until tomorrow night, you can o 12-48hrs after +opk, worth keeping it up to be sure (provided you are doing fr).Quote:

Good lck, I'm still waiting for the +opk, ad slight ferning on the microscope today so fingers x I get it soon.
Me too. Was going to send you a message. How are you feeling? XQuote:

So yesterday DH released twice and we're going to do the same every day until a positive OPK and then release in the morning and DTD in the evening each day until after O. What do you think?Quote:
