I can't say for sure but on the basis of those tests, I do not think ovulation has occurred.
People respond all sorts of ways to the diet. We have many people who get boys without much CM (with my 4th boy I had so little CM I didn't even know I ovulated). and I haven't found CM amount to be predictive of whose sways work and whose don't.

So far we bed cd9, cd13,cd14 will attempt tonight but guessing it's too late for me this month? What do you think?? Also have like waves of cramps and dull pains today's.
I would still try to be in with one more attempt just in case. There is no "too late" because the egg shows up on its own timeline. Attempts aren't wasted, they cover our bases in case ovulation comes later than we expect.
OPK are really not the best technology. We use them because it's all we have, but they're really not flawless. You can have a negative test and still be yet to ovulate, because the hormone the OPK is testing for is not directly correlated to ovulation. So your body can have gotten the message "ovulate soon" from the hormone, and then still decide to ovulate on its own timeline.
If possible, have attempt, if not, leave it. Good luck!!
O pains can happen before, during, and after O because the Fallopian tubes cramp after ovulation to move the egg down. So we unfortunately can't use that to tell us what is happening either.
Hi Atomic,
Thanks for your help really appreciate it... we didnt have another attempt due to DH still not feeling great.
Maybe it wasnt our month again.. maybe next month may be better.
If AF doesnt come and iam pregent do you think from my attempts I did ok for my sway... wasnt the best month of attempts I had compared to previous months.
I think it's entirely plausible you had 2 good attempts, 3 counting the CD 9 one (which may still help, we don't know how it works really)
Number of attempts is just one thing. You are doing a lot of other blue friendly things, all of which will help you sway blue. LOTS of people get boys with only one attempt anyway, let alone two, so I think you guys had a fine attempt, keeping my fingers crossed for blue BFP this month!
Hi Atomic,
Just wanted to ask can you sway for too long?? I've been on diet and taking supplements since last November now.. nearly 1 year.
I've got a lot better with exercise over more recent months.
I try go for walk everyday if not miss a day some body strength exercise sometimes only 15mins and 15mins of exercise. Maybe 3 -4 times a week.
I did have to cut back on snacks due to weight gain but I never go hungry.
Not for blue sways! The more the better!! As long as you cut back as needed to prevent weight gain, HE Diet is great in the long term and is the exact sort of diet that most of us with all boys eat normally.
You're doing great, Kerry. Keep up the good work and sending you all my blue dust!
Thanks Atomic.
Do you have link to HE diet just so I can be sure against what I'm eating.
Regarding milk I only really have in tea and cereal would you say I need more? Cheese added to some meals but overall I dont think I have much dairy. Do I need to add more??
Well, full fat dairy is a great way to give your body the raw materials to make the sex hormones you need to help your blue sway. But it's your call to make. Diet is here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...l-version.html
