If you can BD on CD 15 great, if not, let it go.

Yes it can still make a difference for your sway! Go ahead and add it now.

If you need to drop one I'd drop the second BD on CD 12 since you have so many others happening. The 2 in one day is most important for those who are sticking closely to Shettles.

Hello atomic,

So far I have been able to bd unprotected 7 times this cycle.

Cd 5
Cd 7
Cd 8
Cd 11
Cd 12 (positive opk)
Cd13 (2 times)

I had my positive opk on cd12 and by cd 13 it turned negative again. I started feeling ovulation pain by cd 11 and it became more intense by cd 13 morning and disappeared in the afternoon.

I don't know if we'll be able to bd again tomorrow (cd14) so we bd twice today cd 13. Is that ok? Would skipping one day ruin it all?

Also just how important is the big O?

Thanks atomic

No that's just fine that you BD twice on CD 13.

The Big O is truly not a big deal. I think it's been somewhat overrated. I personally could NEVER have done a Big O that often LOL and yet I have 4 boys.

Can I ask why preseed or baking soda finger or preseed baking soda combined is not good? My ph is around 6 but I feel my husband's might be lower. So looking to up our combined ph each time we bd. I do have ewcm around O so have just been trying bsf to up the ph but I thought I read that you do not recommend.

Sperm is not meant to swim through baking soda. It is meant to swim through mucus, and Preseed is designed to mimic mucus. You are putting something toxic to sperm that prevents them from swimming properly in your VJ when you need sperm to live and thrive.

The pH of the reproductive tract at ovulation and in semen is tailor made for sperm to survive. Sperm, neither X nor Y sperm, "likes" or thrives in high pH. X and Y sperm like middle range pH, neither high nor low. The notion that some sperm like low or high pH makes no sense at all and you can read all about that here: https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...ph-pickle.html

If your pH seems low after sex it is because the lower parts of the vagina are naturally lower in pH and when you have sex it often gets all mixed up. This doesn't mean that up inside your pH is low. Your pH is very likely 7-8 up inside and your husband's semen is also pretty likely to be in the 7's most of the time (unless he'd just eaten or drunk something highly acidic)

As sway tactics go, BSF is not the WORST (douche is much worse) but I still don't recommend it.

Hi Atomic, any tips for extending luteal phase naturally while breastfeeding? Mine are extremely extremely short. And I'm almost positive it's because I'm breastfeeding. I've read people get pregnant while BF and I've had periods return. But after tracking I see my luteal phase is barely 6 days. Thank you

How close are you postpartum?

When are you starting to test every month?

This will fix itself in time. The further you get past when you had a baby, the longer the LP tends to get. If you're eating right and getting rest, it will normalize in time.
