    Thinking about my boy attempt...ultrasound is soon.

    I was thinking about my timing mostly.  You see I was having a hard time pinpointing O.  I would get a +OPK but then my temp wouldn't go up for a few days sometimes.  Well, the same thing happened the cycle I conceived this baby.  But luckily I had decided to just BD every other day instead of just on O day.  Before my 11 week ultrasound I had assumed I O'd late and was probably really due on Saturday or Sunday and not on Friday.  So I was surprised when the ultrasound measurements revealed that I probably conceived on Thursday and was actually measuring 1 day earlier then my LMP due date.  I'm including my chart so you can see what I mean.  I suspect I really did ovulate and conceive on the day I got my OPK, which was CD14 or April 17th.

    My whole attempt was pretty much based on the timing.  I did use preseed and propped my hips up.  I was trying to follow the boy diet and doing some supplements (I think?  Don't remember which ones).  And I took soy isoflavones CD 2-6 that cycle only.  But after my two miscarriages and months and months of BFNs I decided I just wanted a BFP.  I know if this ends up a 4th girl that I will be a little dissapointed in myself that I didn't do more, but oh well.  I was also relying on astrological moon sign, since it was right for all of my girls.  It was a masculine sign but it wasn't quite a full moon (3 days before).  My pH was at a 6 the last time I checked before conceiving and DH was a 8.  Don't remember what else I'm supposed to add.

    I looked at the spreadsheet and realized that I forgot to add that DH was taking cold showers beforehand.  And that I did have the big O.

     I hope you hear boy!!!!

     Just remember that u/s dating is accurate give or take +/- 3 days. I think you're chart looks pretty accurate and FF got your O date right based on your temps and cm. 

    When is your ultrasound? I wish you much luck, I hope this is your boy!

    I really hope that you hear BOY at your ultrasound.  I think your chart looks great.  You got a BFP on 8dpo - WOW!!  Are they sure there is only one baby in there.  Stick out tongue

    That's another reason why I think FF has my O date wrong and I think it really was 2 days before.  So far only 1 baby heard on the doppler and seen at 11 week ultrasound.  I guess I'll know for sure in 20 days at my u/s.  Did I mention my u/s was in 20 days!  I'm so excited I can't wait any longer.

    Good luck!  I know it's frustrating trying to pinpoint O.  I honestly went by my cervix and the positive OPK.  Like you, I'm hoping I'll learn when I ovulated at my ultrasound on Monday.  I can't send you any blue dust, but I'll certainly send you blue wishes.

    I hope you hear blue just as much as I hope I hear pink! The timing is so hard - I did an O+12 (maybe 10, maybe 14??) and I question it all the time! I know some of the hurdles you overcame to get pg, so I think you just have to remind yourself that you did your absolute best with the information you had. I gladly unload all of my blue dust (and my blue dust created a couple of cuties, if I do say so myself!) to you! Good luck and I'll be looking out for you!
