Oh no!! It might be a girl!!

I'd like a little feedback on my attempt for the boy.  I think we may have had intercourse a little too early in my cycle and may have placed myself in the girl zone.  Past bbt charting has shown a dip on cycle day-14 and a sharp rise on cycle day-15. Cervical mucus has usually "peaked"on cycle-day14 around 6:00pm. So I've concluded that intercourse around noon on day-14 would be ideal for the boy.

Our attempt  this month went as follows on my regular 28 day cycle:

Cervical Mucus on cycle day-14, but strangely awoke to a bbt of 98.1.  Very unusual because this would normally be "dip" day.  Maybe the excitement of it all made my temp jump. Who knows???

Husband asked me what my gut feeling was and we decided to go ahead and make the attempt for the boy since I was showing very fertile cm still and concluded that the temp spike may have been a fluke.  (by the way...BIG MISTAKE to assume)

Husband abastained for 6 days

Alkaline Douche 30 prior to intercourse

Inserted Pre-seed 15 min prior

Husband drank about 2 cups of coffee 30 min prior

Rear-entry

Orgasm

Continued to have ewcm throughout the evening....Yikes!!  It was suppossed to have "dried up" by 6:00pm.  Now this is the tricky part.  I awoke to a bbt of 97.2 the next day (cycle day-15) with only a wet vulva and no cm. I did however completely "dry up" around 12:00pm that afternoon with no wetness only little bits of globby cm.  Cycle day-16 temperature was at 98.3 and definetely creamy sticky cm.  Sorry TMI!  I've been charting since Dec of 05 to make sure I had it down pat....why oh why did my cycle have to shift on our "attempt month". What do you ladies think?  Do you think I ovulated cycle day-14 in the evening?  Or maybe the spike may have started happening early on cycle-day 15 after the temp dip....  I just don't know. I think I may have put myself in the grey zone for a girl.  I love my 2 girlies, but I'm so ready for tonka trucks and bugs. I know the shettles method says my chances are still high within 24 hours of ovulation, but I think I'm pushing it even if I did ovulate cycle day-15 early morning.

Thanks for any input. I'd really appreciate it.   

 

I think your attempt sounds great!  It sounds to me that you ovulated the night of the 14th so having intercourse that afternoon was perfect timing!  I wouldn't worry about getting a girl due to timing- you did everything you could do.   Good Luck to you!  Wishing you a BFP and lots of blue!

Just wanted to welcome you to the board and wish you Good LUCK!!  I hope you get your little boy!!!!!  I know other women on the board can provide some excellent comments on your attempt.  I went the high tech route in my attempt fo a daugher and I am in the terrible 2ww right now. 

Sending you lots of BLUE DUST!!!!!!!!

I think your attempt looks good!  I think environment is more important than timing anyway because my dd2 was a perfect shettles attempt.

Welcome mommy2girlies!  It sounds like you did everything perfectly!  I hope you succeed and have a sweet baby boy!!!! :)  TONS of blue dust to you!!!

Your attempt sounds a WHOLE lot better and well planned then my attempt when I got pg with my DS.  So, I would say WOW! I hope to be that well planned when I ttc a boy at the end of this year
