Ok, I just read all of that post, and it makes perfect sense!! I know for sure I was stressed for both DS's, and eating a more blue friendly diet. So I guess for next cycle, I can dtd either right before O day or even on O day. I read a little info on th LE diet but am still not completely sure what it entails. Do I still continue the calcium and magnesium supplements? And keeping my ph low? I drank tons of aspartame the days leading up to O, so I'm not sure if that's why my cm was so dry (or if that even has anything to do with it??) I also stopped breast feeding a week before O.. Right now since I've been so confused I have been only eating 2-3 meals a day and not eating before noon, because I read on here that keeping your glucose level down helps to sway pink. And while the post makes complete sense, I'm even more confused thinking that I may have done everything completely wrong... Lol I was so sure of what I was doing, and now I'm completely lost!! But I'm very thankful you have pointed me toward the right direction!!

I think the best odds of conception come from BD the day before O and it's also easy because that will be the day of your positive OPK.
Whether you keep cal-mag is your call to make. Personally I don't think the data supports cal-mag swaying pink and you can read about that here: (read all three and the discussion after is very informative too) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...roversial.html
pH supps info is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...echniques.html Some of us use antihistamines to dry up CM and also jellies to lower pH but since you're having little to no CM anyway, I'm not sure that you should go that route.
Eating 2-3 meals a day and skipping breakfast is perfect for pink. Nothing wrong there! You didn't get pg because you missed the egg, not because of the diet.
Just let me know the stuff that doesn't make sense and I or someone else will walk you through it. I promise the info on this site all hangs together, has data and logic behind it, and makes sense with itself, even tho it does contradict stuff on some other sites (that's cause they're wrong LOL).!!!

I wouldn't worry about timing either. I got a + opk at 9am and bd one time only at 9pm that day - so probably day before o. I got pg and it's a girl!
and
coming end of November!

I missed this post this morning, thank you SO much!! I will read those, and I will read through the complete index as well. I'm so glad I accidentally came across this site! It makes way more sense, and I feel much better about attempting to sway! Btw, congrats on your pregnancy Atomic
. And thank you nestof3, congrats to you as well! I'll look through all this new (to me lol) info, and I bet I can come up with a pretty good sway! I've lost a little weight already, but I think I only have about 20 lbs total to lose, and even then I'll be at the low end of where I should be. So hopefully this doesn't take too long

well.....like you i treid to sway with cut off and O+12. i had 2 very perfect O+12 attempts and 5 and 4 and 3 day cut offs....but it just didn;t work and i was baffled as to why.....but then i was diagnosed with PCOS as i have been extrememly dry for 3 years now to the point where i have started to have lesions.....when i started worrying i may never conceive again due to my condition, my doctor prescribed clomid and even on the highest dose i didn't manage to conceive and well now it is obvious why...with my last dose of clmoid i took eastrogen cream as well....but still nothing so i do belive environemnt is key in conception i am sure of that.....well after my last cycle of clomid i had a normal period then didn't bother with timing and really with TTC, so just enjoyed BD 4,3 days prior to O then day before O and day after...( i kept taking my OPK's as i had plenyt in the bathroom) just to make sure that if i fell pregnant i can come back to calculate..so i BD often so to speak during my week of O all through which i was either dry or had very thick yellow snot like cm and voila....this was the very first incling i had there is a higher possibility this may be a girl....because for one i was quite dry and if i had any kind of cm (just before it was to O) i was not the best hosbitable kind. it was only cause of the high number of BD that i managed to fall PG i think this very time. it just remains to be seen that it is a DD .....but all my symptoms predictions and pychic readings point to a girl...even clomid is suppose to favour girl....
so if it is then yes...conception with little or no cm or bad cm can result in pregnancy but not necessarily easily but if it does there is a higher chance it will be a girl as well.or so i hope it is for me!!!!Last edited by toomanyboys; June 24th, 2012 at 03:53 PM.

'08. GD PART OF MY LIFE NOW. Accepted and enjoying life with my kids! Now in my early 40's still a small glimmer of hope to possibly be blessed with another pink bean, however, more of a fantasy then a deliberate attempt. On coil and not planning anymore. Don't think I could handle GD now.

Oh wow, when do you find out what you are having? Sorry if it says in your siggy, I am 2 posts away from being able to see lol. I'm wondering if my dry cm has anything to do with breast feeding then stopping... maybe my body hadn't had the chance to adjust yet. I have plenty of it now lol! Although I want to get pregnant ASAP, I really don't have any time constraints. My original plan was to start trying next February so that baby and DS2 would be the same age difference as DS1 and DS2, but I just couldn't stand to wait lol. Thank you for sharing your story with me, and hopefully you'll find out you're getting your DD!!

TMB - it's not just your PCOS, even fully fertile people are having very hard times conceiving with long cutoffs and O+12 makes it next to impossible.
I know of several people who did a full run of Clomid and did not conceive and then turned around and conceived naturally the first month off of it!! For some reason, getting pg that month after Clomid really seems to work some magic for people. (most had girls BTW)!!! Questions??Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Well now I'm wondering if I O'd a day later than what FF says... Someone on another site pointed that out and I had been wondering as well. So I'm either 13 or 14 dpo, temp is still up, but I had some pretty bad cramping yesterday and a little bit today an still bfn. I really wanted to be pregnant this cycle, but now after reading all the links Atomic provided here, I wouldn't mind getting a chance at a better shot in July lol! Yeah I checked internally and it was barely even moist at the time of dtd (sorry tmi!!)

If you post a chart I can look at it if you like. It's not unheard of to get AF 15 or even 16 days after O, but if it goes any longer than that be sure to see a doctor.
