November thread for all swaying BLUE xxxxx

[luvalittleman]

I know it is confusing, but believe it or not Atomic has an essay out there for almost every question you can ask!

Thanks Anchor. I've just read this but it seems to be for girl sway. Is there one for a boy sway do you know?

Thanks Anchor!

When we conceived our girls, we DTD most days during the month of attempt. We got pregnant the first month of trying each time.

So when we did our first attempt last week, we waited for our positive OPK then did an attempt that evening, tried in the morning (but got interrupted by our girls!) and then another attempt the next evening. I am really happy with our timing as it is the opposite to what we did with the girls. Now, just I just have my fingers crossed for a BFP in a couple of weeks!

See when I conceived DD2, we DTD after +OPK. With DD3 we DTD within the same window given the strong O pains I had the day after. I feel like I have conceived at least 2 of my 3 girls within that 24 hour window.... My first daughter was a honeymoon conception so lots of BD'ing. Is there any studies, etc...that support timing at all out there?

Here ya go...the jelly bean factor lays it all out for you.

Not really, the whole Shettles theory is all but dead, here is an essay on how timing DOESN'T sway...

I Dtd all through with my girls.... But I was always on a quest to loose weight.... That's my difference on this attempt. I've put on a few kgs with eating good food and doing weights. Although I'm done with putting on weight so I hope that on 2 weeks I get a bfp.

It's hard to find the most current information on here. Thanks Cinss and Dloui.
The reason I thought to try the other way was because I only get a positive OPK for half a day and last months chart shows temp spike on day of OPK. That means I am only going to get in 1 attempt on O day.
Also, I thought sperm take a day or two to replenish. So without starting a minimum of 3 days before, I can't see how 3 attempts in even a 24 hour period is going to generate more sperm. I'm back to being confused again...

Its totally fine if you want to try O-4, O-2 and O Yes it is true it does take a day or 2 for the sperm to replenish fully, that is why we were all over this timing method, we thought get a whole load up there then 2 days later another whole load, and then on O day another one. But we dont know if half or 3/4 or 97% of the sperm from the O-4 day survive inside, and according to Shettles that is how you get a girl (but dont worry about that Shettles was wrong) So now with the new timing method the thought is get a whole load up there waiting, then a not so full load but its still enough to make it more iykwim, and then another smaller load just like the icing on the cake.

I also got my temp rise the day after my +opk so i understand what you mean, you cant really wait for the +, so in your case you should try to predict O day and get the 3 attempts in the day before. I think the most important thing to remember is that you are aiming for a BFP, the diet and supps and exercise are what will sway for you, but in order for your sway to work you need to get pregnant, so DTD however you want really just dont do frequent release for more than 7 days in a row (which is what the girl swayers do) You may think Why on earth would i do that... well it has happened before where one lady was trying to DTD for the 3 days leading up to O, and she didnt O when she thought she would and got very close to doing FR for 7 days, she didnt get pg then and is currently on a break from ttc atm, but just a heads up, strange things can happen

That's a really good explanation cinns.. Something strange happened with me I'm not sure if its possible AF started on 15 November and I've been taken opks the clearblue ones and today is my cycle day 12 I believe (is cycle day 1 classed as the day you come on your period??) I got a smiley today already .. And I have been getting quite alot period cramping all afternoon and still some now and slight pain from left ovary side.. I also had a very small amount of EWCM but not alot and when I was asleep and this morning i was extremely hot I don't know if that was my temp rising, I don't take my temp with the basal thermometer though just something I had noticed .. It's my first time tracking ovulation, so that's why I'm quite confused but I missed a day or 2 where I Didn't take a O test I'm not sure if that was false reading but I'm getting all the ovulation symptoms if that's what you wana call them lol

[Cinss]

afy yes CD1 is the day you start your period. I would suggest you enter all your data on the Fertility Friend website while you are practicing getting to know your cycles, and get a thermometer, they are not expensive and such a great ttc tool. I know FF looks a bit daunting at first but its easy to use once you get to know it, and then if something comes up that you are not sure about, we can take a look if you link us. And it is really priceless to be able to go back and look at previous cycles.

Thank you yes I tried to chart it on FF but it was asking me fr my temp etc I didn't have that Info so I left it lol. Yes I did invest in one but never got round to chartin my temp down! I will get back on to that.. That's why I'm purposely waiting to TTC as I'm not familiar with my cycle so need to familiarize my self.. Although I know my cervix has slightly opened up than before! So I'm pretty sure Iam ovulating .. Do we need to have our temp result to chart all the info on FF?
