VITEX Time!

[atomic sagebrush]

the only ways to tell if you actually OV or not are:
temping
BFP 2 weeks later
AF 2 weeks later
ultrasounds (showing corpus luteum)
blood tests (showing progesterone rise)

temping is the one most of us go for because it's cheaper and faster



BTW, not sure if you saw my scan pics in the ultrasound forum yet!

Brilliant response Rainbow!

And even with temping, you can't know until 3 days past ovulation!

OPK are not perfect, they're just one of the better tools we have and really OPK and fertility monitors are the ONLY way short of ultrasound to at least get a heads up that O is coming at some point.

Well I do get my period hehe. This morn I took an OPK dark positive still but I'll take one later in the day and see.
I just saw your pics! I still say GIRL~!!

He goes off almost every day. He won't BD often since it's a risk. I know one lady on here or IG had a girl and they didn't even finish their BD. Maybe it's Baby Dust. So I'm holding on to that hope! I seduced hubby today, and he doesn't think he pulled out in time.. less sperm I'd say also sways for a girl! haha

I seduced him AGAIN! and he fully went off! YAY!!! But he says he won't do me anymore. haha.. we'll see.

April has to be my month!!!

K this is for whomever will answer. I used a whole other tube of rephresh 15 or so mins later after BD.. is that bad? Will it kill the spermies?

The lady who claims to have discovered O+12 also got pg this way. Husband did not even finish, it was from pre-e.

It's not great or necessary, but the good news is that 15 min. later most of the sperm may have made it to the safety of the cervical crypts and if you had some CM they were being protected there.

For best odds of pg, don't use RepHresh any sooner than 8-12 hours before BD and nothing afterwards.

Ok ladies, I'm frustrated with myself. I still have that opk and the lines are the same. I'm on day 20 of my cycle and usually "ovulate" around day 23. My gut is saying stop taking the vitex until AF. So.. even though I have days of +s and I was hoping I would have a painful obvious ovulation. Could my have not stoping vitex at the first + opk have stopped O all together? I didn't even get the painful poking and aching I usually do every month on the right side. Maybe I'm ok and haven't done it yet and still will? I don't know... my my gut is screaming DON'T take it today. So I guess I won't. I was just thinking that maybe the vitex would get the eggie out but I guess just stop at fist opk no matter how many days I have +s after that.

That's so nuts to me! But I love to know that it could happen!

Seduced hubby yet again last night (I'm trying SO hard for frequent BDing) He says he got a shot off in there.. then I snuck some that I found on the couch. lol then this morning just some play but he didn't go off. I'm hoping for the low count sperm thing will make a girl as I know it will! I'm not sure If I ovulated or not. But the Opk is finally completely faded as of last night. YAY this is good I hope. *crosses fingers*
