    Tried for a boy, got a boy!

    My attempt:

     Trying for 8 months, no clue when I'd O, wanted BFP more than best sway so decided to bd every other day starting when I saw EWCM. Did BSF twice a day from cd 24 (when I first saw ewcm), took mucinex once a day while having EWCM, was on antiboitics at the time twice a day because I was sick. Started first round of antibiotics (amoxicillian) on April 9th, started second round (Keflex) on April 28th. 

    160mg soy isoflanes cd 2-6, liquid false unicron root all cycle long. The week of O I had just started the boy diet (loosely) and was eating cereal every am (kashi golean crunch) for breakfast. I drink 2 cups of coffee w/ non dairy creamer every day. Switched to rice milk week of O. Drinking lots of lemon water. I do not smoke and was not drinking at all. Dh would drink occasionally, but no smoking. Dh was eating bananas every day for breakfast and lunch (2-4 a day). Dh would drive home from work in just his boxers with the AC on his stuff. Me, lots of laptop time (on IG). I also believe our weather had a lot to do with it, we didn't get our normal spring rains this year that we normally get around here. April was also unusually warm for us and we had our A/C on.

    My dh took no supplements but did switch to boxers from briefs over a year ago. He tried to keep his goods cool on his long commute. We bd not more often than every other day. My ph was a 8 when I checked it on cd 31, the day before our last attempt. I was having a TON of EWCM, and had been for 10 days or so (not uncommon for my LONG cycles and delayed O). The times I checked our combined ph in the instead cup after removal it was a 9+.

     FF have me crosshairs dab smack on May 5th (the day of the new moon) and although I am pretty sure I Oed the night before I am not 100% sure. My temp didn't spike so that's why FF says I Oed that day, not the day of the 4th. But my cm was changing over and my cervix was getting firmer on the 5th...my dh had to work that day so was gone by 6am and not home till the evening, by the evening my cervix had completely firmed up and my cm was gone....so I knew it was after O+12 timing so I didn't want to risk it.

    Here's my chart:  http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/12942c

    So we took our chances with the cut off we had, we dtd every other day with the last attempt on cd 32 in the am. Every bd attempt we used pre seed and did rear entry, bsf 30min-1 hour before, I had big O before dh and twice after, Hips propped for 30 mins and instead cup for 1 hour afterwards. I did not O until probably cd 33 sometime. FF says cd 34.

     

    BFP on May 16th, ultrasound at 16w3d and 19w4d say it's a boy!
