girls moms- did you do cut-off or keep going past O

[atomic sagebrush]

I got my DD with EWCM, but not a ton of it.

would love to hear from more moms. could it be that timing(not getting closer to O) is more about not having the ewcm than the actual time. So moms that went closer to O and beyond did you have lil ewcm(naturally or did something to dry up?)

That is exactly what I believe - it's the CM and overall rates of sperm survival that matter and not any magic of a given day. People get about 50-50 boys and girls DTD on every day of the cycle. BUT there are still opposites even with the "right" CM.

Hi! I went through o, I had 4 attempts on o-1, o, o+1. Each attempt wasn't very good so I'm surprised I caught a swimmer! We did an abstain, with DS we were prob DTD every other day. I don't really think timing has much to do with anything! I didn't have much ewcm, maybe a little, not not much at all and I'm used to it being alot! Lol

cvd I think we talked about this at the time but just for the benefit of others who aren't in the know, I don't usually advise abstain + more than one attempt. If you DO want to do abstain + several attempts, make sure that they are as close together as you possibly can get them, less than 6 hrs. is best, or else have your husband release once, dump it, then DTD again as soon as he can (AFTER that first release, that is.)

I have 3 girls and with all three I dtd starting about 5 days before ovulation (sometimes several times a day) and kept going until a few days after ovulation ( with the first 3, I was quite determined to get preggo the first try....and I did all three times). I never used any lube *except with that amount of bding, there were sometimes tmi...."leftovers". By the time we got to the end of each try (what my dh called the "sextival"....hehe) we were whooped....and preggo with a girl all 3 times. Good luck!

Yes sorry I should have clarified that! We did our abstain, had 1 attempt but DH accidentally pulled out (he was nervous LOL) so 2 hours later we did it again but literally nothing came out!! Worried we had no swimmers the next day, DH released in the shower then we DTD 2.5-3 hours later (where also barely anything came out lol) our 4th attempt was after o was confirmed by temps and very very late so I doubt that contributed at all but put it in anyway. I am actually surprised we caught a swimmer with all our poopy attempts lol
