Ovulation

[Princess4me]

Hi everyone. So we are swaying for a girl. We attempted on sunday (cd 12), as i usually ovulate on day 16. I have been tracking with opks this month and had a positive in the morning on cd 16, faded by the late arvo cd 16, and i just did another on cd 17 (4pm) and its again positive. Im not sure whats going on. I dont tempt as i am a shift worker and cannot take my temperature consistantly.

Any ideas?

It will be very hard for you to fall pregnant from an attempt 4+ days before ovulation. I would have another attempt asap.

It doesn't matter how close you dtd to ovulation, it matters how many attempts you have. To sway girl you need to have one attempt when you get your positive OPK. If you got a positive OPK on CD 16, then you will probably ovulate either CD 17 or 18. There is slim to almost no chance you'll get pregnant from an attempt on CD 12.

Going off my cm.... i had heaps (while wiping, in my underwear) of ewcm on cd 16, and today cd 17- total decrease. Does that not indicate o to be on cd 16?

Not necessarily. It's impossible to accurately pinpoint ovulation to a particular day from opks and ewcm. You may have o'd yesterday, today or you may o tomorrow. We won't know without a monitored cycle. However if you are wanting to sway girl I would try to have one more attempt. That's just my humble opinion anyway.

Im too scared lol. We did it just the once in the 'window' and have had 2 boys by doing just that! Im steering clear of o this time around in hope that we will concieve a girl based on the opposite of what we have done in the past.

You have to do what you feel comfortable with! But I encourage you to have a search through this site and the resources, Shettles theory of fast and slow swimming sperm has been truly debunked. What sways girl is the amount of attempts in your fertile window. For a girl you have one attempt, for a boy you have multiple attempts. Have a good read through the TTC girl section.

Your OPK and how long they take to go negative don't tell you when you ovulated.

I would have you try with another attempt. If you are really ovualting it's going to be pretty hard to catch an egg that far out. Timing doesn't sway http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html but it is of course always up to you if you want to use it or not. If you want to use it, you may decide you prefer to stick with the attempt you've had this month and just wait and see what happens.
