Does anyone know if U/S gel kills sperm or sways?

Honestly, if you have the time to wait, I'd hold off this cycle due to the left side ovulation. Let me just state very clearly that I do not in any way think this is a make or break sway for you or anyone's sway, but you have the information and you're a young gal with time to wait, I'd postpone a month and avoid the whole shebang with the ultrasound gel and all the rest of it.

After considering all options, I think I will ttc this cycle. I will ovulate between today and Saturday, as I have gotten a +opk and the US shows a mature follicle from the left ovary. If this cycle does not work, my RE wants to try clomid to bring ovulation earlier than day 19-21.

Either way I look at it, I will have some factor that sways girl that will be going against my sway. If I don't try this month, I have kind of wasted my co-pays, my time and their time. All I can do is continue on the best that I can and pray that it works in my favor.

Atomic, you have so much wisdom about this stuff and I appreciate your input and knowledge.

Officially in the 2ww, I believe I ovulated yesterday, cd 19. I was able to get attempts in on nights of o-3, o-1, and o night...yay. Hoping this 2ww goes by fast so I can either move forward with my RE's plan or hopefully get pg this cycle.

Just wanted to add my story as well.
I'm trying to sway for a girl.
Had u/s most of months for this past year..
Unfortunatelly, my doctor was out of clinic last month(October) and I had to check my ovulation and folicles at other available doctors. They were only doing intravaginal u/s so I didnt knew it will hurt my tactic of getting pg.
I did checked on 29 October at around 13:00 time..had a folicle of 2.98 and a ovucit inside quite big (left ovary ovulation). So we DTD that night...next day went at around 17:00 to check if the ovulation occured..and the doctor confirmed with another intravaginal u/s...
I had strong pains that morning...
I'm not 100% sure that the reason for me for not getting pg was the gel used at u/s but thought A LOT when my AF came about every single details we did (I'm 27, fertile and my husband has just turned 33)..so I figured this is the only reason of me getting a BFN.
I then read this as well :
Despite labels, some vaginal lubricants harm sperm
Was shocked! Killing 88% is A LOT!!!
So yes, for me just OPK from now on..no more u/s.
I think most of the doctors do not think at this at all...but I think it's a bad thing..I'm hoping everyone is trying to conceive and does u/s, reads this.

I'm wondering if you got pg in the end?

Oh, and Atomic..what is with the left ovary ovulation? Does this means it's a girl?
