Mis-timed ovulation and length of abstinence

[mannem]

I have mis-timed my ovulation this month. I kept getting -'s on my opk's. I haven't ever used this brand before and did a bit of research where I learned people rarely got a +. I was due to ovulate either yesterday or the day before (I also had the pains yesterday) but today I figured i'd do a quick test just to make sure. It's positive, confirmed with a clearblue digital!!!

Now, my problem is DH and I DTD last night anyway (he wore a condom to make sure there was no O+12) so it would only be a 24hr abstinence. What would this do for my sway? Or would it be best to give this month a miss?

TIA

some dtd every day and get boys. im also worried about 24hr abstinence, but if anything like many of the wonderful girls on here toldme, it increases the amount of sperm in you so you have more x AND y sperm to give it a shot...??? if youre desperate id jst do it, if youre okay to wait, do the sway the way you planned! if it doesnt work, then adjust as needed
goodluck!

maybe you could dtd 2 or 3 times on O?

I'd be happy to go again

If you're doing ions the moon is right for swaying boy atm. I don't know if it will be when you're ovulating next month. Also you have to think if you're able to do another month of swaying, people usually tend to get sick and tired of it towards the end and get more 'lenient' with diet, supps, etc.

HTH

edit: mannem which OPKs are you using? I'm beginning to worry about the internet cheapies I got >.<

Thanks everyone.

We decided to miss this month. Dh said that if we didn't do exactly as we had planned and it turned out to be a girl he wouldn't be able to hide his disappointment and would always wonder what if, so his logic convinced me not to.

It's so frustrating because I know the moon is great for a boy today (only found out about moons today as well) and that my 'gut' instinct was telling me to go for it. I found out that both our girls were conceived on girl moons so now this moon thing is another thing to worry about.. arrghh Also both DD's were conceived by lots of bd'ing for days in a row so this is what made DH question if it was a good idea. To top it all off I have the worst ovulation pain I have ever had and it feels like it's for no good reason at all...

Sorry for the vent..

We used the condom because i seriously thought I had already ovulated and didn't want O+12.. I haven't ever ovulated this late in my cycle before which is why i was convinced i had already ovulated..

The internet cheapie opk's are fertility2family, but in the end they did work so they can't be too bad.

Again thank you

If you are *really* keen you can talk to your gyno about an HCG shot when you want to ovulate. I know it doesn't sway either way I don't know how it really works though :/

I'm sure you'll O in the right moon phase next month too don't worry about it *hugs*

I think swaying is not going to work for everyone. Even if everyone done exactly the same I think there would still be mixed results.
I am swaying blue by trying supps and HE diet but I am also trying to do things opposite to what I done when I conceived my girl.

Good luck for next month
