Twice in fertile window?

[Sophia86]

So what I've read, it's best to only DTD once in fertile window to TTC a girl? I did it twice, a Tuesday and Thursday. I'm guessing this has definitely increased my odds for a boy? Xx

When did you ovulate? Twice in the fertile window is more blue than just once but you still have a chance.

Beau82 - I DTD the Tuesday night and the Thursday around lunch time. Got a strong positive Opk on the Friday about 6pm so assuming I maybe ovulated on Saturday xx

I doubt if there were still any sperm around from the Tuesday BD so I think you only had 1 chance in the fertile window really which is 4 days. Tuesday would have been too far out, so Thursday was it Good luck!

Wow.. Really? I wouldn't have thought of it like that so fingers crossed. I know friends who got pregnant with a 5-4 day cut off so I would have thought my Tuesday ones could hang around lol.
Really appreciate you replying xx

They may think they got pregnant with that cutoff but they probably just Oed early.

I doubt the Tues. swimmers were still alive but even if they were, 2 attempts has really not been THAT much lower than 1. 10% max but still about 65% pink with two attempts.

Thanks atomic!
With my son I did DTD every other day over my entire window so many many attempts with him.
My sister had one attempt the night before ovulation and has a little girl so I had been beating myself up that I didn't follow in her footsteps but you have made me feel better about it xx

[Sophia86]

So.... I am indeed pregnant.

I am so terrified.

Why didn't I sway properly? Xx

Congratulations!! Fingers crossed for you. I still think you have a good chance of a girl x

Thanks honeybee. Every other day is how I got my son though, even though this time it was twice and not beyond positive OPK. I'm so nervous xxx
