Just got +OPK... NEED HELP!!

Ok im kinda freaking out.... I am O'ing EARLY this month.... DH and I DTD last thursday, not trying to get preg... I thought I would O at the end of this week... this is putting me in the 5 day cut off if the sperm r still there, which i believe means GIRL??:nails: I tested with clear blue digital ovulation last night about 8 pm, it was negative.. today i tested about 11:45 am and i got my smiley face and Im now starting to cramp.... How many hours now should I count b4 DTD again? My DH doesnt get off work till 10 pm tonight.. do i still have time?

Heres my supplements:
Robitussin 3x a day for the last week and half
Fertile CM 3x a day for the last week and half
2x a day folic acid (2,000 mg)
prenantal once a day
100 iu Vitamin E 1x a day
1000 mg fish oil once a day.
5,000 mg sodium a day
about 4,000 potassium a day

I need to run out and buy preseed I think, did BSF last month and didnt get preg... I got my DD when we DTD the minute we saw the smiley. Trying for a boy this time.

Hi there! I am in your same exact boat! I was expecting to get my smiley face on Thursday or Friday of this week but instead got it today at 1:30pm. I was completely stressed about that right away because it just threw my whole plan for a loop but now I am just excited about the opportunity to get pregnant (hopefully with our little boy).

I am taking the advice of others on here and we are going to BD tonight, tomorrow morning, tomorrow evening, and possibly Thursday morning depending upon my CM and how long I get the smiley faces for. We are going to use Preseen each time. I am just hopeful that the smiley face is accurate...since I really wasn't expecting to get it this early. I am thinking the green tea, EPO, and Fish Oil threw mine off! What are you thinking you will do? When are you going to start and what is your BD plan?

How exciting, both of you have the green light! Praying for boy i would dtd tonight after DH comes home, tomorrow morning, and again tomorrow night :fx: for both of you.

If you got your positive at 11:25am, im guessing you will OV at around 11:30am tomorrow morning, i would do a morning attempt at around 4-5am and that will put you nice and close to OV. Also doing a morning attempt has higher sperm count and you are alrady on day5....
Just a thought though - just wanted to add my 2 cents :)
Maybe do BSF 2 hours prior to your attempt and if you do go with the morning attempt, have something to eat 1 hour before to get your blood sugar levels up nice and high

I would DTD tonight and tomorrow and keep going until your OPK's go negative

This site toally contridicts ingender LOL i like how the 2 are completley different.
Ingender suggests you do 1 attempt for a boy and 1 only.... I was under the impression that DTD more then once puts you into girl zone?

Who knows!!!

1 shot on O would be Shettles Method, nothing wrong with trying that but chances of falling pregnant are greater if you have a few attempts and here we believe that the more sperm you have going for the egg the better chance a boy will be conceived.

Also girl zone is less sperm, the ladies have their DHs frequently release so much leading up to O that by the time they have the attempt there is less sperm, and on top of that they jump and dump so even less have a chance, and then there are the gels and stuff they use too.

So basically timing isnt the the big issue its amount of sperm that you have running the race that can sway :)

Ok ladies - ONE more question. I took 2 more OPK's last night, one at 6pm was positive and one at 9:30pm was negative. Hubby and I BD last night around 10pm. I woke up in the middle of the night around 3am and took my temp and it was 98. Every day prior I was about 97.18. I took it again a few times at about 4am, 5am, 6am and I am now at about 97.86. Does it look like I OV early this morning? Should we still BD one more time this morning or should we just hope and pray from the one time that this will be our month? TTC a boy! Thanks so much!

I would think that the 9:30pm negative could have been from being too dilute....I would do another OPK test and see if it's still high and def BD again this morning :) One question, had you been using the OPK's prior to the 1:30 positive test or was that the first test of the month?

Hi! I did take 2 different brands of OPK's this morning and both were negative. We did decide to BD one more time this morning, though, because I took my temp last night before BD and it was 96.90 at 10pm so clearly I hadn't OV yet, so even if I did overnight we still should not have been in 0+12 zone. After reading a lot on here, I am starting to believe that the timing really doesn't play a big part anyway and honestly, we wanted to have 2 attempts this cycle since my smiley face came so early and caught us off guard.

I had tested prior to the 1:30pm smiley face yesterday by the evening before and it was negative. So, the surge must have happened yesterday morning.

Yesterday when I got the positve smiley face when I pulled the test strip out the 2nd line was a lil faded.. we did not get to DTD last night. This morning I tested at 7 am and I got another smiley this tiime when I pulled the stick out it was much darker. We DTD and he could not finish and we had to go to work. The only chance we can DTD is tonight. Does anyone think I will be too late? I read that after ovulation the egg can live for 12-24 hours. And I read that it takes sperm 4 hours to get to the egg so I think I might be ok? If I go into O+12 category I will have to just try to counteract that by using the preseed and I plan to put a pinch of Baking soda in it, just a lil bit to up the PH. But Ive been taking fertile cm 3x a day for almost 2 weeks so i dont think the ewcm will be a problem. Wish me luck

I think that will be just fine! Are you temping, too? If so, how were your temps this am? GOOD LUCK!

I admit im not temping.. i know i should be. Im gonna test opk again tonight about 8 pm and praying i still have a smiley face. im using the clear blue easy. ive read where people have gotton preg by concieved 1-2 days after ovulation.. so i guess it can happen.. i hope this is our month because i am really sick of eating HE diet LOL.. I never thought Id say that but im over potatos and red meat LOL.

I am 100 percent with you and if it makes you feel better - my smiley faces stopped at 10pm which is when we BD the first time followed up with a final BD this morning. I would definitely say you are right on track! Frustrating that our smiley faces both arrived early! GOOD LUCK and keep me posted!

Thank you for reply, i will keep you posted. good luck to you as well!!

I totally don't believe in timing because according to Shettle's, both of my girls should have been boys. I think your timing for conception was perfect!!! Good luck!

Really? That makes me so happy to hear that. Was was your timing for your girls? We were debating whether to go for it again this morning and decided to, and honestly, I am happy that we made that decision. I just hope everything else was enough to sway boy. Thanks for the advice!

With both of them it was right at O. I had no clue about swaying back then, but was tracking ovulation using opk and temping. It's been a few years now, but we waited until I was most fertile and then made two evening attempts on consecutive days.

yeah i agree with you vanasse, my DD was concieved the min we saw the smiley face with 4 days of abstaining. according to shettles shes should have been a boy.... after everything i have read on this site i believe timining isnt as important. I think Atomic is 100% correct with the diet. I was trying to lose weight with DD was concieved. my fear is on this month is just trying to make sure i catch the egg, hectic work week and I am O'ing 3 days before im suppose to. I wasn't prepared. Idk if DTD tonight is going to put me into the O+12 category? I am wondering if its all the supplements that have to do with O early?

Accroding to Clearblue easy digital it says DTD within 48 hours, so hopefully im ok.. this is exhausting ttc lol. I wish i could be one of those women who just ends up with boys without trying.

One more question.... Ive read that (i think it was IG sorry) that 5 days before O or day before O has high chance for a boy. is that true?

Timing DOES NOT sway and you can get a boy with 5 day cutoff http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

DTD as soon as you can, don't wait around X number of hours trying to get it right on ovulation, it doesn't sway and it does cut down odds of conception. Do it tonight, you still have time. You may want to do it again tomorrow AM and even tomorrow night if you can.

You did NOT get your daughter becasue you DTD at the smiley. That had nothing to do with it, it was just a coincidence. Don't fear the smiley! :)

I def. advise using Preseed if you can get some. BSF has seemed to prevent conception for some people.

Yes, we are completely different from IG on that front. We believe more sperm = more boys and so it's best to get in a couple attempts in your fertile window to improve odds of conception.

no one gets pg 1-2 days after ovulation. They either released two eggs and hit only the second, or else they were wrong about when they ovulated. Or, they got pg from sperm that was already living up inside their Fallopian tubes from earlier attempts.

timing is never true based on the evidence that I have seen.
