So what I've read, it's best to only DTD once in fertile window to TTC a girl? I did it twice, a Tuesday and Thursday. I'm guessing this has definitely increased my odds for a boy? Xx

When did you ovulate? Twice in the fertile window is more blue than just once but you still have a chance.
Beau82 - I DTD the Tuesday night and the Thursday around lunch time. Got a strong positive Opk on the Friday about 6pm so assuming I maybe ovulated on Saturday xx
I doubt if there were still any sperm around from the Tuesday BD so I think you only had 1 chance in the fertile window really which is 4 days. Tuesday would have been too far out, so Thursday was it :) Good luck!
Wow.. Really? I wouldn't have thought of it like that so fingers crossed. I know friends who got pregnant with a 5-4 day cut off so I would have thought my Tuesday ones could hang around lol.
Really appreciate you replying xx
They may think they got pregnant with that cutoff but they probably just Oed early.
I doubt the Tues. swimmers were still alive but even if they were, 2 attempts has really not been THAT much lower than 1. 10% max but still about 65% pink with two attempts.
Thanks atomic! :happy:
With my son I did DTD every other day over my entire window so many many attempts with him.
My sister had one attempt the night before ovulation and has a little girl so I had been beating myself up that I didn't follow in her footsteps but you have made me feel better about it xx
So.... I am indeed pregnant.
I am so terrified.
Why didn't I sway properly? Xx
Congratulations!! Fingers crossed for you. I still think you have a good chance of a girl x
Thanks honeybee. Every other day is how I got my son though, even though this time it was twice and not beyond positive OPK. I'm so nervous xxx
Sophia it might not help you feel better right now but I wanted to let you know that I have been in a very similar position to you. When my eldest son was born I started planning my sway. We were going to start trying for a girl once my son was 8 months old. However, a slightly drunken night (one attempt plus j+d!) resulted in me being pregnant. I was still breastfeeding and only had one attempt so I thought i was in with quite a good chance of having a girl. I was, however, really mad with myself for not swaying esp as I had planned it all so thoroughly.
I had a boy. I can honestly say I do not regret him being a boy for a second. He is nothing like my eldest, they complement each other and are best friends. I wouldn't send him back!
I do still want a girl and five years on, we are trying for one. I just wanted to let you know that even if you have another boy, he is meant to be in your family and I guarantee you will love him to bits. My DH said no more, but I managed to twist his arm ;)
Thanks so much honeybee.
My son is only 5 months old so if baby is another boy, it will be lovely for my son to have a brother so close in age and I of course will love him to bits.
I just want a girl so desperately that it hurts.
Really appreciate your kind words and good luck for conceiving your little girl xxx
Except many if not most doing both one attempt and 2 attempts are on a diet/the LE, doing exercise and other things to sway pink, so I don't think it's accurate to apply GD stats to non-swayers.Quote:

I feel for you Sophia -- how you feel towards a girl is exactly how I feel towards a boy. <3Quote:

I did happen to be following an unintentional pink sway, but otherwise, I definitely had more sex than I "should" have traditionally for a girl, and we're having a girl.
Good luck to you! <3
Thanks Maidentomother xx
And thanks Throwaway panther, can I ask what your unintentional girl diet was? Lots of blue dust sent your way that you will get your boy next time xxx
Huge congrats!!
When the deed is done, I sometimes choose to be encouraging rather than accurate. Now this really isn't the time or place to do that, but I am now painted into a corner into saying this for all the people who read this thread and now think I don't know how to read my own statistics (I do.)Quote:

Sorry to keep bleating on, but just wanted to mention, I thought my Opk may have indicated I ovulated on the Saturday as I had a very strong line on the Friday evening. But the day after my test I had creamy cm, does this indicate ovulation already happened? Xx
I don't think your chances are huge! If you had DTD on Friday and Saturday then maybe, but your Tuesday night delight was 4 days away from O. I'd say whilst it would have better to have just had the Friday attempt, it's not a total disaster either! You still definitely have a chance of having a girly ��
Thanks familymatters. I DTD on the Tuesday and then the Thursday with a positive ovulation test on the Friday. Didn't DTD after the Thursday attempt until a week and a half after. I just think that because I've done an "every other day" on the two attempts, that it's definitely increased for a boy because of that xxx
Thank you so much! And I was definitely undereating and over exercising -- netting 800-1000 calories a day on average, doing weights and cardio for roughly 300+ minutes a week, no red meat ever, one meal a day (dinner)... every pink thing in the book I did, despite being a "Martha," I just didn't know about swaying yet!Quote:

Straight after my second attempt, I got up and went to the bathroom to J&D. For some reason, there wasn't any semen leaking everywhere like there usually is (sorry for the TMI) it was very unusual as I felt dryish so for a split second I thought my husband had pretended to orgasm lol! So I "pushed" and a decent amount came out into the toilet x
