Hoping for a girl after two boys

Ok awesome! We’ll see, I’m the worst at being patient during the TWW 😂 I forgot how hard it is to think about anything else!

So my AF came, my luteal phase lasted only 3 days. I started the 50mg of clomid on day 2 and I’ll go through day 6. I’m really hoping that this cycle will be better now that I’m using the clomid again. How much does multiple BDs sway? I’m curious if we could just do it everyday during the fertile period?

How sure are you about when you ovulated?? The long cycle coupled with short LP makes me wonder if you might have ovulated sooner and had a more normal LP. This happens quite often.

Please do not do it every day during the fertile period. Not only for the sake of the sway, but because it's really not that good a way to conceive. What happens the majority of the time is that people start the daily sex too soon, and by the time the egg shows up the sperm numbers are so depressed by frequent release that there are not enough sperm to fertilize the egg. Having daily sex is one of the pitfalls that actually prevent conception.

What I would have you do instead is have sex every 4 days in the "72 hour pattern"- not that set amount of hours per se but that is how you're meant to count the days, so you end up with an attempt on O-3 and then O Day (or O-4 and O-1, or O-5 and O-2, however it works out) We have good results with this method for pink. Then, if you want absolute best chance of conception but likely a lower chance of pink, you can add in one additional attempt at the first positive OPK while continuing with the e4d method. Be SURE you start e4d right after your cycle ends and carry on even after you think ovulation has occurred. do NOT just have e4d in the "fertile window" because people often miscaluclate the fertile window.
