    Confused Going to do 1 attempt at +opk, should I also add 0+12

    I've been ttc dd for 3 cycles, LE, I had a early cut off last 3 times (3 days bf o)because dg had to leave for work. He isn't leaving this month! So I can get closs to big O. My question is should I add an attempt after I think I ovulated (o+12). I don't want to attempts bc I conceived my boys with ultisols attempts up to O. I concieve my dd wth 1 attempt, jump and dump, and underweight skipping breakfast. I wasn't swaying she was a surprise I have no idea when I ovulated with her. Has anyone tried 1 attempt bf O and 0 +12? Or is it too risky. My thought is if the swimmers are there then the O and 12 won't hurt bc if they didn't make the egg I have 1 more shot. I know 0+12 is risky but does seem to sway if you time it right. Or am I wrong!?

    O +12 doesn't work bc it's impossible to get pregnant. Definitely don't do that.

    I recommend one attempt at positive OPK and a 2nd attempt 4 days later (so CD18 if you BDed first on CD14), just in case O is delayed.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Doing 1 attempt at opk+ and then again at O+12 would put you at risk of two very close attempts in the fertile period if your ovulation is delayed slightly. How do you even work out O+12 anyway? It is very difficult to work out.

    Just 1 at Opk+ would be best and better than a cut off as you know you will get an attempt in the fertile period at least.

    Then I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it was the one attempt and not the O+12.

    True that timing has no effect on gender I got boys with many attempts[emoji12] but with the girl the father was 48 years old maybe his boys died and only girl swimmers left from an old batch fermented and aged [emoji12] he went away working and it was hard to release being surrounded with men so it was one attempt in nearly 2 months [emoji23]
