    Hi Maiden,

    I BD on CD15 and CD17. I got a positive Opk on CD18 but did not BD that day or any day thereafter until ovulation was well and truly over xx

    I normally ovulate on day 21 but judging by Opk I think I ovulated on CD19 this time xx

    While technically 2 attempts, the sperm from CD15 were likely mostly gone by the time you Oed so closer to 1 attempt really!

    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

    It can delay O or bring it forward depending on circumstance. Thus I recommend using it from AF-CD 14 or positive OPK whichever comes first, and if you do not O at that point, stay off it, don't restart till O occurs.

    Not reliably, but actually in many women who have PCO-tendencies, these herbs that for SOME people delay O, can actually move it forward (same with Vitex and saw palmetto.) So if a gal was normally Oing late because of PCO-tendencies it's a possibility (albeit not reliably so) that it can move their O day up significantly.

    If you are not on a sway diet I strongly recommend against just taking cal/mag/cranberry because in that case you're only adding nutrients.

    If you believe in cal-mag that's at your discretion but I really do not recommend taking it without doing some form of diet. When I was on the InGender site, there were many swayers who did that and virtually all go boys. You don't need to do their very strict type of diet, but I do recommend doing some kind of diet or dropping the supps.

    You can have some tendencies to develop PCO without actually having the syndrome.

    Thanks Atomic! Damn... I didn't stop drinking it at positive Opk. I drank it for quite a long time afterwards.. And I'm pretty sure now that the tea is what bought my ovulation forward :/ x

    What if I happened to ovulate on positive Opk day? That would make the CD15 attempt 3 days from ovulation instead of 4. Would that then become two attempts instead? X
