I feel really good about my sway, but the one thing I am wondering about is early ovulation and gender that resulted. I was on vitex and SP and my cycles got shorter. With DS1 I have no idea what day I o'd....thinking CD14 and with DS2, I o'd on CD14. From what I have read, delayed O means reduced fertility and more girls, but I haven't seen anything about O'ing early.
So...everyone share if you O'd early, on time, or late and the gender that resulted!
I have always been a late O 'er (nowdays it's about CD 21, but sometimes it's nog before CD 35) en well.........just look at my siggie ;)
LOL Wilma! Just goes to show, not the magic bullet.
But, still fun to see everyone's experience!
I have always had long cycles - five weeks long - usually i ovulate on day 21 - and af around day 35 - I had two boys like this!
Vitex and sp changed my cycles to six weeks - I ovulated on my bfp cycle on day 28 - praying that this is my pink bean!
I had a short cycle when I got my dd. Maybe 24 or 25 days.
I think I always ovulated around cd14 when I fell pregnant with my two boys with a regular 28 day cycle, but after ds2 my cycle started to get longer and for the last 6 months was around 32 days with O around cd17/18. No idea if it makes any difference or not or if it indicated my fertility was on the decline. Be interesting to know though! :)
My cycles and ovulation have pretty much been the same, 28 days and ovulate on day 13-14, I have two girls and one boy on the way
I Oed 3 days earlier than i thought I would (thanks vitex) and got DD!
It's very likely to me that any change in your O may mean that you're more pink friendly. Somewhere I have a couple studies that show this to be the case.
In regards to Oing late, remember that there are two reasons why people O late. One is PCOS which would sway blue (in which case a turn towards a more normal cycle may indicate they are pink friendly) The other is declining condition reducing fertility and inhibiting O, which sways pink.
what is declining condition?? do you mean of the eggs?
i always had 28 day cycles till #4 was born my DS then they went to 35 day cycles.....i did conceive my DD (swaying with acijel, lime and rephresh lol) in the first month. now my cycles are back to 35 days....thinking of using vitex. but my OB didnt seem to concerned about it. I always thought the older you got the shorter your cycles gtot
I used to O kinda late...conceived my
Ds. O'ed earlier and conceived my Dd. This time
I O'ed earlier too, we shall see!
Cycles can be all over the map regardless of your age.Quote:

We don't know. I'm not sure anything in swaying happens automatically and I suspect there is always the potential for an opposite regardless.
Before Clomid, I had 28 day cycles and I O'd on CD 18 or 19. My LP was on the short, sometimes too-short, side.
I have two boys and one girl. My girl I got pregnant with while breastfeeding, my boys I wasn't breastfeeding when I got pregnant with them.
This reminds me of my experience....I always ovulate kind of late..around day 17,18. My cycle was like this when I conceived DS. Two years later when I concieved DD i ovulated on day 9 (weird).....So now (2013) we are trying for another boy and we just had our first attempt on CD 18...I hope my sway worked. We will see
I think that unusually short cycles where you O early may also sway pink, for reasons we can only guess at. Thanks for sharing your experience!
