Don't be too hard on yourself, there are lots of women who have had girls with bd through o! Just keep your ph down from now til after o. Im not sure about o+12 !?  If it was me I'd prob go for that too and keep ph down, dh has already released twice so that won't matter now.

Don't beat yourself up over it though, we can't be right everytime, andas I say there have been plenty of pink bfp's through o

Good luck cottontales, hope you get a pink bfp this month!!

I have a gross question but gotta ask.  I'm gonna start using ff this month, taking temps, etc. but since having ds I always have 2/3 days of dark brown blood/discharge before full blown AF arrives, which has started today.  So what do I class as cd1, is it today or when I get my 'proper' AF?

Cottontales- sorry you feel rubbish about your attempt, if your ph is low that is just brilliant (Yes, I think keep douching), you still have a great chance for pink. 

thankyou, my ph digital tester has just broken or something, i cant calibrate it or deas it register any 4 or 7 solutions! great!! how on earth do you do a ph 2 lime/water with no tester!!!

somethings telling me i wasnt suppose to attempt this mth!! its all one wrong,[:'(][

Cotton tales - Really sorry you feel that your attempt went wrong, but the girls are right lots of girls are conceived by BD'ing through O, In a PM i got from kristin yesterday we were talking about swaying and she said if you have to drop any part of the sway she feels that timing would be the first thing to go!  Do you have any PH strips as a back up to your digital tester, which digital tester did you have ??

Indigo, ILP and Nic - wow cant believe you are all on the same CD wouldn't it be great to get three BFP' next wed.  I hope that next week when you are all pregnant that you will stick around, i dont wanna be on my own!

Cars - how are you doing today has AF arrived for you yet?

AFM - I think AF will arrive tomorrow, temp is at its lowest today for the whole of this cycle, did take this eve rather than this am, and i just feel like all my signs are saying AF so hopefully i can start again tomorrow, i just need to decide now vitex or soy, tamara says vitex, kristin says soy!  Soy is supposed to increased ewcm and i seem to have loads at the min but i think its because i'm not taking the cranberry as i stopped at O and until AF arrives i cant take again!  Think i will have to take double!

Mornin girls,

How is everyone? Its good to be back. Was DS2 birthday yesterday he had a lovely day I made a football cake. Took me all the night before and day!! Was worth it though He loved it! Took his mind off of his chicken pox for a while.

Cottontales - Sorry you dont feel great about your attempt but I think BD'ing thru O isnt such a bad thing. If you look at some of the stats theres not much of a difference in B/G ratio through O. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Indigo, I'd love pink and Nic - How weird is that! Look forward to hearing your POAS results soon.  FX for all of you. How are you all feeling any symptons?

Havent heard much from you cars. Hope all is well.

Well AF came yesterday and FF put O at CD14. I was relieved when AF came I was so worried that I O'ed later. I got a new micrscope but it came with no instructions and I cant figure the thing out!!

Oh girls i am snookered

I got a postive |OPK this am at CD54 when FF already gave me cross lines on CD25 but my temps have gone down and i have loads of ewcm and cervbix feels high soft and open, so DH and i DTD last friday which if i O today gives me 5-6 day cut off boy terrirotry and this was how DS3 was conceived, but as i am in the very long 2ww according to FF then i'm not taking the full supps, so supps crap, timing crap, diet good, ions not great, what do i do now, Digital ph meter broke so cant check ph, loads of ewcm, do i do O+12 or just leave it and hope that 5-6 days doesn't get me boy this time if i fall preg, when we dtd last fri it was with 14 days abstiinece but i did have big O but i didn't have ewcm then aarrggghhhh my body is so messed up i just wish for once that AF would arrive right now and theat i didn't care less what i had that i didn't have a desire for a girl that i really wanted all boys then none of this would matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
