- traveled home from our destination wedding & worked all week (no bd)
- left for honeymoon following Friday (bd the first night at our layover)
- loooooooong 20+ hr travel day (no bd)
- bd every day for the next 9 days

She was born almost exactly 9mo after our wedding day. So based on my BD pattern, she should have been a boy - but I think I O'd on that long plane ride and the sperm from the layover night BD was just waiting around for like 12+ hours so only X sperm were left at that point. And I will say, she is a little spitfire - so it doesn't surprise me that she fought her way into this world when the odds were certainly stacked against her ;)

Fingers crossed my 12/29-12/31 BD'ing sways blue to complete our little family!! I'm officially in the 2WW - trying not to get my hopes up as AF came after my 12/1 attempt. If it's helpful for anyone, I was a Shettles disciple until 12/2 when I found this forum (a day after my Shettles ttc attempt where I used a baking soda douche - @atomic is right, it 100% kills sperm! My DH sperm are very potent and we BD at least 2 times on that ttc attempt and none of them survived)

So interesting, thank you for that blue! Do you think before your wedding you were dieting or forgetting to eat being stressed or busy? I hear loads of honeymoon babies being girls! x are you doing the boy friendly diet now?
Im doing the LE diet its actually quite easy! x

@Nell you inspired me to post a new thread about my unintentional girl sway lol - hope it can help you & others!!

I was the most stressed I've ever been, eating 800-1000 calories a day, working out like crazy, drinking, smoking, working full-time, juggling friends/charity work/family/wedding planning, traveling across the world for honeymoon, etc

And now I'm syncing my Ava bracelet and cross-referencing my last 4 cycle data to see if I was right about my O-day being 12/29...

For future reference, ALWAYS do your one attempt on your first pos opk. Sperm need up to 12 hours to capacitate in order to be able to even penetrate an egg which is why conceiving on day of o is such low odds. Best odds of conception are 2-o and 1-o which in *most* circumstances are a possibility by dtd at your first pos opk. That indicates your lh hormone has peaked and you should generally o within 48 hours. Hth [emoji4]
