Question about O pain.

[Abifasc]

Hi ladies, dh and I are going to ttc a girl in April. We've already kind of started the diet, supplements etc, but my question is about bd timing.

Someone said it's best to do one attempt when the opk is +. I haven't received my opks yet, but I'm having sharp o pain right now (has been sharp for 25 minutes now), so I guess I'm ovulating. So fir o+12 we would Dtd in the morning.

Which way is better? Bding right at + or 12 hours from now (in the future- I'm researching this month).

I've had ewcm 4 days in a row if that helps.

TIA!

Atomic recommends BDing at +OPK with just 1 attempt, pretty sure...She says it has around 30% better results for a pink sway than other ways. O + 12 is tricky and I would never try it personally. I am sure Atomic or someone will correct me if I am wrong on any of this. :-) Good luck!

Ok well anything with better results I want to try! Thank you!

I don't think O pain is very reliable to pin point O, in my experience...

Ok thank you. I'll just use the opk thing.

You cannot tell when you ovulate on the basis of O pain. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ing-depth.html

I am not a fan of O+12 at all. IT doesn't work and really lowers odds of conception by a lot. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...9-no-12-a.html

Wow that was a really awesome article. No o+12 for me! One thing I was confused about is the ph. On another site I read that a low ph is super important for a punk sway. Are you saying that's not true?

That is proving to be the case Abi. we are getting identical results with the low pH jellies as we are getting without them and it's hard to conclude anything other than that pH really isn't doing anything other than inhibit pregnancy.

I have an essay on the reasons why pH doesn't add up here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html (I actually had written this prior to our numbers seeming to indicate pH doesn't do anything based on common sense and biology, so both on paper and in practice the pH stuff just doesn't seem to be getting it done for us!)

If you think you are fertile and you wont get any OPKS until later, MAKE AN ATTEMPT. Then no more attempts for four days. Then once you get your opks, start using them just in case you didn't O. I thought I Oed on the 7th, bad O pains L&R, lower back pain, spotting, cramping... I even had a thermal shift the next day. But the next day I got a pos OPK and a peak on my fertility monitor. I then got a second thermal shift on the 11th suggesting I may have actually Ovulated the 10th. Not sure entirely when O happened, but from personal experience, cover your bases. But you can't get PG if you don't make any attempt in the fertile window! GL!

Another very interesting article! Thank you! Well if it's one less thing to stress about I'll leave it out of my sway. I did buy sylk lube since I read that sways pink. Do you have a link to your sway for your daughter somewhere that I could read?
