Horrible timing. I thought the high temp on CD13 was a fluke, so that's why we DTD that day. But then my temp stayed up. I know everyone says timing doesn't matter, but I can't stomach the fact that I didn't DTD on O day! We DTD around midnight on CD11, so I guess it could have been close to O, depending on what time I ovulated that next day... but who knows. The only thing I am happy about was that I O'ed right on the full moon, but I doubt that holds very much weight. I also O'ed on the cusp between moon signs... I would have O'ed in a boy moon sign if I hadn't O'ed early.

Hobber I would guess you conceived from the day 11 BD and to me that sounds like good timing. I know from experience that it's impossible not to obsess now, but try not to feel too many regrets.

My biggest regret w/ Honor is that I let myself have a really crummy pregnancy the first half...I wish I'd taken better care of myself and not worried so much that I didn't get my DG. I don't want to sound preachy but I would like to help another mama not feel so much pain (and I feel it was unfair to Honor).

Overall you had made the changes to change your own internal environment... I do think there is something to timing, but I think diet/lifestyle makes a MUCH bigger difference. Keeping you in my thoughts :)

Yes, I had a lot of CM on CD13, as well as my cervix being "SHOW". I really thought I O'ed CD13. But because my temp never went down, I can't say for sure. The night before I had the weird high temp, I didn't sleep well, and was awake for a long time before I took my temperature in the morning (I was still in bed, but was awake about a 1/2 hr). So that could have caused me to THINK I O'ed on CD12 when I actually did O on CD13? But I will never know. It doesn't matter now, because what is done is done. But I am just such a catastrophic thinker. In hindsight, swaying was probably a really bad choice for me. I wish we could have afforded high tech.

I hope you are right, and the timing was okay. I really did change my lifestyle a LOT with this sway--I have noticed since becoming pregnant how differently I was eating while swaying. So I really hope that made a difference.

And I appreciate the advice about taking care of myself. I know I will love the baby regardless, but it is going to be hard if it is a girl. It took me a long time to come around to DD2.

So I think I Od this am which would make for o-3, o-1 and we're going to try to Dtd during the kids nap today....I hope we haven't lowered dh's sperm count doing it so much! My temps literally look like mountains! I'm so confused about this cycle! I have no clue what the moon signs are now just that the full moon was back on Tues and it's now Sat :( at least you got it on the full moon exactly! I really think the ions help the sway a lot, actually!

Can you post your chart again so I can take a look? This temp stuff is so confusing.

We DTD at almost midnight on CD11, so it was almost CD 12, technically. But who knows WHEN I ovulated. And the CD12 temp is the one in dispute. I tried discarding it, but FF still says that was O day.

I think your timing is good if you get a shot in there today! I was worried about lower sperm count a little, but atomic says that you have to DTD a bunch in a row (like 4 or 5 days) for that to happen.

Yahmama - Definatly DTD at nap time for 1 last shot, but i wouldn't be surprised if your egg has already been met by the little guys in there already.

Jen - CONGRATULATIONS, that time - 4.44am is SO cool !

Hobber - nothing anyone says is going to make you think you have a boy in there, but ill just say it one more time so that you might accept this - "You have a really really great shot at having a BOY in there, don't get down on yourself about your sway, there is NO point worriying about it".

I am stumped why it would tell you cd12...you had 2 positive opk days...do you remember it being darker cd13? Mine was def darker today even with temp rise...I really think you Od cd13 just like I think I Od on this temp rise day!

We did ;). And I hope you're right that the egg was met by "little guys"....the girlies better stay away! Lol....Im pretty sure it's just a 50/50 shot anyway even with swaying. It's in Gods hands now what He gives us!

YES! It was totally darker on CD13, on the day of the second + opk. On CD12, when I first got the + opk, the lines were equal darkness, but by the next day (CD13) the test line was darker than the control line.

Glad you went for it during nap time. I think you had plenty of swimmers in there after a 30 hr hold! :)

Feeling bit paranoid right now.. have had a tough day and have done alot of crying!! By this time I would have started feeling sick but so far nothing (I am 7w 1 d. MS started last week) please tell me my emotional health today has not hurt the baby..

3PIB, Congratulations!! He is adorable!

Yahmama, sounds like good attempts - you filled the crypts and then some!

Hobber, everyone's been telling you but really don't know till the baby is here - there is a 50-50 chance still. I would be happy to just be pregnant.. sigh!

TT5 - aww - i hope you feel better soon but really babies are much stronger than we give them credit for.

BEC, Hope this is your month! and mine :)

I am 4dpo but nothing is happening. I feel perfectly normal. Last month I had "symptoms" like cramping and hunger etc. - thought I was pregnant for sure.. oh well

Nope, this was my last attempt. Taking a few months off.
I have put on so much weight maybe thats whats stopping me from conceiving, who knows.
But I feel so unhealthy and have no energy.
I need to focus on myself and my health for a while and hopefully in a few months I may give it another attempt.
