Breastfeeding and Ovulation....

[atomic sagebrush]

I am sorry I need to much clarification with this.. but Peak IS O day right?
So I'm confused if I should DTD on O day OR O-2?
I was thinking if I did it on O day then (because we are extremely fertile) have DH take care of himself and then DTD right afterwards (or as soon as he can do it again)

Am I on the right track? I don't know why I have such a hard understanding this part.

You get your first peak reading sometime between 8-48 hours before O (8 is extremely unusual and typically only in people who aren't testing regularly - 48 hours is way more common than 8). The average is 24-36 hours range. So that first peak will be 1-2 days before O Day.

Wow! All this time I thought Peak and O day were the same thing! So in order to DTD on O-1 or O-2 we must DTD when we get a Peak reading? Or perhaps on the last High Fertile day?

The problem with DTD on high fertility is that it is not always the way it says on the package. We have people who get 7 days of high fertility some months and other people who get zero days and go right to peak, or even people who have days of high that then go away without ever going to peak, and then a week or two later they'll actually O. So you can BD thinking that you're on your last day of high and then get 5 more days of high after that, or you can just wake up one day and see a peak, and it's really a lot harder on you in the long run trying to hit that.

Peak indicates O is coming. High indicates it MAY be coming in a few days maybe perhaps or maybe not. My advice is BD on first peak. Good odds of conception and still a little cutoff for those of you who believe in it.

Yes! The Clear Blue with the handle yes! And I thought when I got the smiley face that meant I am ovulating but guess I was wrong about that lol. So if we DTD when we get a PEAK reading do we wait until night time (better for sperm count) to DTD? Its just that I take my test in the morning and night time will be 12+ hours from my first peak reading. This then wouldn't be O-2 or O-1.
I am thinking my best bet would be to DTD the night before I know I am going to get a PEAK read. Does this sound right?

BD when it is convenient for you because it is very improbable that time of day means ANYTHING. The reason swaying works is because your body detects cues from the environment that indicate to it that a boy or a girl has a better shot at survival to pass down genes to future generations. BD at morning vs. night could not possibly make any difference whatsoever to the survival of a boy vs. a girl in the long term. BD when you can without making yourself too crazy.

You are putting way too much faith into the OPK tests. They are much more unrelliable and imprecise than you realize. BD night of first peak, that is what tons of us did and got girls doing that. It absolutely COULD still be O-1 or O-2. It's not some hour by hour countdown, it's all about what your body decides to do. Some people are getting first peak 2-3 days before O!!!
