Watery is equivalent to fertile, EWCM and sways blue.

No, that is usually the day OF O. Not everyone's temp drops anyway (please see http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Ovulation-Dip.html) and your temp may not consistently dip from month to month.
The best way to pinpoint the day before O is by fertility monitors, but you can also use OPKs (I would wait 6-12 hours after a positive OPK to DTD to ensure that you are not having a two day cutoff though!)

Actually, I believe Freya is the one who suggested that on IG after my chemical in January. Looks like it worked! But with the antioxidants come a lot of good nutrients for a blue sway. I think the boy diet on the whole is pretty antioxidizing for the body with all of the fruit and veggies.
Freya, we are about a day apart it looks! I conceived on March 9....you must have been March 11 or so, right?

I LOVE pycnogenol, but I stopped taking it now. I had DH take it too, because it can have a very positive effect on sperm count . The problem is, you never know what really works, but it had a massive effect on stuff like bleeding after injury and it reduced AF by a day for me, so I suppose it rejuvenated me a bit!
Lola, March 10, morning GMT+1 !

Hi Atomic, I see... so if I seem to get say 2 days of + on the opk I would dtd 6-12 hrs after the first +? What if my positive came say of an evening but morning is not really good for us, is it ok to do it the following evening so that would be 24 hrs after the first +?

Well, you should be taking your OPK in the afternoon anyway so you could DTD either the night of the OPK (which you run the risk of a cutoff) or the next evening. I think the next evening would still be safe and not risk an O+12 but you would know best - do you find that you O very quickly after your OPK or do you have a bit of warning in advance?? Some people O right after their + OPK and some people don't O for 2 days!

We dtd around midnight of my 1st +opk (took it in the afternoon) and then again the next day at midnight, FWIW. I guess we'll see in a couple of months if that yeilded a boy or not though!
