What's the reason for early ovulation and does it sway girl or boy?

Thank you atomic!!

I'm sorry I really have no clue what you're talking about here. I see a couple possibilities but please let me know if I guessed wrong.

Yes, FR is a pink sway tactic but having 3 attempts in a row in the fertile window, is NOT FR. for FR to sway pink, you have to have 7-10 releases (or attempts if you are doing FBD) before the earliest attempt that could possible get you pregnant.

Or, I am assuming that you read "have him release however often he is able to" but that poster was a BLUE swayer whose husband couldn't release as often as every 2-4 days (my standard recommendation for blue.) because he has some health issues. I certainly don't want her having him do a long long abstain, so my point was that whenever he is physically able to release (which for HIM would be maybe every 5-6 days) then that is what he should do instead of having a long abstain. He wouldn't be able to release more often than that so no possiblity of him accidentally doing FR, if that makes any sense??

Gonna thread steal here, because I have the same question but different circumstances.

I typically O CD 14-15, last cycle I O on CD 9 then had an extra long LP of 21 days (usually I am 10-13 days). This cycle my temp has already hit it's pre-O pattern (yeah I am lucky enough every month I see the same two flat, drop, two flat, up, down, O pattern), I'm seeing watery borderline eggwhite CM, and my OPK is almost positive...CD 8 I should O within the next day or two giving me two months of rather early ovulation. I considered it is a result of my miscarriage in Nov, This is cycle 3 after my loss. I O'ed late on the first cycle at CD 20, the second was the first early at CD 9.

Anyway long blabber short, what could cause this and how do I fix it? (I've read studies that a short follicular phase decreases viability greatly.) We don't plan to TTC until March since that's my next projected O on a new moon and gives me 8 weeks+ on the LE diet.

I'm already taking vitex because I wanted to lengthen my LP.

ETA: I just turned 28 in Dec., so I doubt it is an egg reserve issue.

I feel dumb. I was reading some other threads on early O on here, and lots of ladies seemed to be having issues with vitex and O before CD 10. It dawns on me that I upped my dose of vitex last cycle. I had been taking 400 mg which is half the recommended dose on my bottle, and upped it to a full dose. I'd bet that's why I'm O'ing early now. I'm going to drop back down to a half dose and see what happens. Or should I wait until next month? I'm gathering (correct me if I'm wrong) that having a little imbalance is good for a pink sway? So changing the dosage back closer to when we plan to TTC may be better?

If your LP was 21 days long, I doubt you ovulated on CD 9. (unless you were pregnant and had a chemical) Temping can sometimes be a little misleading. That having been said, it's not uncommon to have oddball cycles after a loss, esp. when taking vitex as well.

I just read on the other thread that you got a pos OPK on CD 11 this month, that would put you in with O on CD 12 or even 13, and that is perfectly normal. Please do not worry or stress about decreased viability at all, that's not an issue for you at the age of 28.

Yes we do think that having the cycle be a little bit "off" may help to sway pink, but this is one of those crystal ball questions where I really don't have the data to be able to say which is better. Sorry, I wish I did!!

Just had a read of this interesting thread and now I'm really not sure where I'm at!!

This is what my cycles have looked like since weaning DS #2 (when he was two years of age. I mention this because my body was pretty depleted).

Cycle one - (not swaying) 28 days
Cycle two - (not swaying) 38 days
Cycle three - (started LE & vitex) 29 days
Cycle four - (LE, vitex, SP) 28 days
Cycle five - (LE, vitex, SP) up to day 39 & still no AF

What do you think is happening there? I had a long cycle before starting my sway and it looks like I've gone full circle and back at square one?

I should mention that when I conceived DS #1 I had a 35 day cycle after coming off BCP then fell preg and with DS #2 I had a 44 day cycle after weaning DS #1 from breastfeeding and fell preg. I did have a burst cyst when DS #2 was 6 months old so maybe I'm a little prone to PCOS?

I'm so confused as to why my cycles normalised for a bit whilst swaying and now this one is never-ending? Any thoughts Atomic?

Thank you! x

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, we all have long cycles sometimes for no real reason so while I suspect that this latest cycle is prob. long due to Vitex, SP, and LE Diet, it may have just been one of those things where stopping breastfeeding and it takes some time for things to get back into regularity again.

A burst cyst when breastfeeding doesn't mean you have PCO-tendencies, that's not abnormal.

[Flowergirl]

Thank you Atomic, that's reassuring to hear re: the burst cyst.

Fingers are crossed the long cycle happening now is a good sign the LE diet and supps have done their thing and my body is girl ready (as soon as I ov! lol) I'm going to try and keep positive. x

What an interesting thread!!! I had a 31day cycle before ttc both my boys, it was 31 days like clockwork. EXCEPT the cycles I conceived the boys. On DS1 I got my AF while on honeymoon and after that it was CD20 when I got +opk. Bear in mind I had never done OPKs before that so think that I was stressing waiting to O and that may have delayed it. DS2 was similar. Got AF right before (like 2 days) we flew to Florida and it was around CD20-21 I got +opk. I had done opks before that and think the stress of waiting to O might cause a delay. And plus we were travelling both occasions, can travel (esp long flights) sway or affect our bodies enough to affect our sway? Since DS2 my cycle has been as short as 25 days and as long as 35 days but my LP is consistently 13 days so all good there. Just wondering does the iffy cycle make me more girl friendly...
