Me! I think I ovulated today (had positive OPK yesterday at lunch time and bad abdominal cramps today) and we DTD last night! I’m panicking a bit and trying to decide if I should add another attempt tomorrow night in case I ovulate later, what do you think? Fingers crossed it’s our month! I’m swaying pink too! [emoji177]

I'm swaying pink too! AF ended last week so we've been doing e4d (96 hours). Praying we get our BFP this month!

I’d hold fire if you’re swaying pink and one attempt according to Atomic has given much better results! Unless you’d be happy with any gender I’d stick to the one [emoji108]Quote:

I do sway pink but I think I ovulate 2-3 days after my digital OPKs turn positive. This time they turned positive on Friday 1pm and now it’s Sunday and my BBT temps are still low with OPK test lines as dark as control. So I suspect I ovulate tomorrow (Monday), so will my Friday attempt still be viable?Quote:

Also, I’m 38 so time is not on my side.

If you're in a hurry to get pregnant add attempt, if ou want best chance of pink stay with attempt you've hadQuote:

I’m 38 so getting a bit worried. I got pregnant first go with both boys but this time it’s taking me longer (I understand I’m older but still).

Hope you feel better soon. You’re so patient! I know I’m going to be testing everyday from 8 DPO.Quote:

Hi Atomic, I found this article from Clearblue website (with a number of studies) that suggests having an attempt the day after the LH surge (LH+1). That’s what I’ve been leaning towards since I usually get my peak OPK at least 48 hours after an initial surge. Will try next month.

Mommymachine did you sway for your girls? What would you say were the main things that you changed after having boys?Quote:

9dpo so hardly surprise I got bfn! But then honestly, and I feel awful saying this, but I’d rather a bfn than conceive blue.Quote:

But I’m trying to accept more and more that swaying is just that, it’s a sway in the direction we want and the opposite gender is always possible each cycle no matter what we do. It’s hard to always put this into practice though! [emoji85]
So just gotta breathe, do my best and try to go with the flow more [emoji92]

I’ll find out 100% with NIPT (10 weeks now I think), I’m too impatient :) what about you? So you have a daughter? Any other kids? FX for your testing tomorrow! [emoji3590]Quote:

Well, I was breastfeeding the previous baby with each of my girls, that was very different from when I had the boys. I did sway, but I was absolutely more in a “declining” maternal condition with my girls.Quote:

Did you have one attempt at positive OPK with all? Do you use digital or cheapie online ones? Do you exercise?Quote:

I don’t really have a satisfying answer unfortunately. With my first daughter, I believed in shuttles timing still, so I had one attempt at what I think may have been o-5.Quote:

With my third, attempts were at o-4 and o-1, and the o-1 was the morning after a positive OPK test.
I always used internet cheapies with the girls.
I did a lot of praying and a little bit of swaying. :)

Hi there!! Quick question, mommymachine, did you conceive your girls while exclusively breastfeeding? Did you conceive any boys while breastfeeding? I am swaying pink and breastfeeding and still waiting for my cycle to return. TIA
Hello! I have never conceived a boy while breastfeeding. No I was not exclusively breastfeeding anymore when the girls were conceived. My DS3 was 10 months when I conceived DD1 ( I didn’t even have a cycle yet.) DD1 was 14 months when I conceived DD2, and DD2 was 23 months when I conceived DD3.
DD3 will be 4 in June, so this is my biggest break between babies by far!!

I conceived DS2 while breastfeeding when DS1 was 12 months old with one attempt! So im tweaking my diet and exercise this time around.

Lol, I will wait until birth, it was a wonderful surprise for me before. What dpo are you?

No BFP for me today (11dpo) and I’ve got some cramps going on so I reckon AF is round the corner. Was hoping for 2020 baby but never mind..still not ruled out yet!!! [emoji3059]

Jumping in on the breastfeeding topic..
I conceived my boy breastfeeding at 15 and she was still feeding quite a lot [emoji2370]
Every little helps!!

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that. Did you sway to get your daughter?Quote:

CD 12 today prob will ovulate cd 16 good luck ladies I’m praying for a healthy pink baby!
My second dd is my successful sway baby I’m praying I have another girl, this will be my last baby. I’ve been on diet 12 weeks now. Low protein and even low sugar this time around I cut out sweets and soda.
I meant 15 months [emoji2358]Quote:

Were your luteal phases that short when you conceived before??

Exercise is one of our best sway tactics, Omega 6/9 likely sway pink (I don't want pink swayers to take it, but I had to drop it from blue sways because it was making so many opposites) and maca has phytoestrogens in it like soy that likely also sway pink (but again I do not want pink swayers taking that either)Quote:
