I will probably test from day 10/11 daily and yes testing twice a day can help so don’t lose hours once you catch your surge. It’s the best I can do isnt it really as I’ll never be able to guess which day will be the day before the pos opk.
Oh really, I read so much and got the impression abstaining and frequency was better methods than regular or normal release times as regular and normal releasing would mean better sperm numbers. And swaying pink you want less. Oh now I’m confused! Obviously the not having unprotected sex makes sense because we want one attempt, but I’m now thrown as thought I wanted lower sperm numbers.
I conceived my second son from one attempt at pos ov test, BUT I think it must’ve been two attempts as we did BD again 48hours later but I still had a positive ov test, in total I had a positive opk for 4 days, but assumed at the time I must’ve ovulated 12-36 hours after detecting it and for some reason the surge was still there. My husband had been away with work so we hadn’t had any other unprotected sex that cycle. But I don’t know if he had been ‘dealing with himself’ lol. Hope all of that made sense. But anyway I worry doing similar to what I did then as it got me a boy, even though I know I didn’t do anything else properly to sway pink, like diet and losing weight lol....and I am a Jeanie/Martha! Which probably was a huge contributor.
(Sigh!) I just feel so nervous every time I think about all this. Like it’s just not going to happen for me, and I’ll either stress out and ruin it for myself, or I’ll unknowingly do something that’ll lower my chances of pink. Like doing the wrong type and amount of exercise. I worry living with males would make my body sway towards conceiving another. And on top of all that my stomach drops at the thought of getting pregnant and finding out it’s another boy after all the efforts. Even tho it’s such a lucky gift to be blessed with a healthy baby. Boy or girl.
I just want to get it right this time. I’m happy to not do sups, antihistamines and things like that. They don’t seem to have good sway reviews on here. (Although I was interested in the things I mentioned in my last post, just out of interest) xx
