All 3 DDs conceived when I was an odd number age.

I quite often o in the evening, feeling o pains from 5 p.m.ish until midnight, and then find I have a temp rise the following morning, so less than 12 hours, unless I am wrong and those pains are after o, but I don't think so; they are very strong & sudden, & then gone.

"boys are conceived four to six days before and two days after ovulation," says Dr. Young.
Not that I am for or against Shettle's theories, but I would find it hard to trust the theory of a doctor who doesn't seem to realise that conception of either a girl or a boy is unlikely two days after ovulation!

I don't now the answer to this, but there are always huge ttc with maca threads on mothering.com, so if you read through those you might be able to make some deductions, or even to post your question in one of them. It is supposed to be good for fertility in general, though, and quite often such things are supposed to sway boy.

Congratulations on your BFP. Do you have a chart to link to, so we can try better to see your timing & opks and so be able to answer your question? It's a little hard to get at what happened in long narrative form, or for me, anyway![:)]

It sounds like you are talking about mid cycle spotting, rather than the end of your period. I don't know if or how this sways, but it is supposed to be a good fertility sign, and I think occurs because of the fluctuation of estrogen in relation to progesterone as ovulation near.

Those are unquestionably positive, and what's more, progressing beautifully. How many dpo were you when you had your blood test? And was it before the first of these + hpts? Perhaps you were less past o than you thought when you had your beta?

Trimethoprim should not be taken when ttc at all, or when pregant. It interferes with folic acid abosorbtion and studies have shown an increase of birth defects. I am very surprised your doctor prescribed it if he or she knew you were ttc.

I'm so sorry about your loss.[:(]
I'm not an expert on soy, but my own instinct after a miscarriage would be not to take anything that has a great impact on hormones. It can take a few cycles for things to normalise again after a m/c, and I found I bled a lot, and for a suprisingly long time, the cycle after my D&C. I wouldn't hold off ttc'ing, and hoping for a BFP, this cyc...

There are many charts on FF with 3 day cut offs. There is hope of pg this way, probably not as good as 0-1 or 0-2, but still a decent proportion of BFPs from such timing.

It is possible that you got your darkest line just after or just before the peak of your surge, and therefore missed a true positive. Some women also never get true positives, but are ovulating perfectly; there's a fertility clinic with faq's that explains this (somewhere in Santa Barbara, possibly?). It may also be you need to change brands of opks to get better results. For instance, FR opk...

My 3 girls were conceived/born in different months/seasons.

Thank you for replying. I'm not swaying, so I don't mind which direction they sway. I just want a short delay! How much saw palmetto did you take?!
Also, any other ideas would be very welcome!

If you ever took any supplements that delayed your O a little, can you please tell me what they were, what dose you took, what cycle days, and how long the delay in your ovulation was?
Many thanks!

KE14, she is very clever, incredibly strong, incredibly sweet. She will always be last in any sports related race, and is very patient: just as she was from the beginning, waiting around for that full week before the egg came along, at which point she would have moved directly, with all the competition having long given up. She is entirely original.

Yes, she's definitely a girl! I was amazed I got pregnant at all, but I was charting at the time. BD was day 14, and the temp rise was day 21 or day 22. I wish I still had the chart; it was a paper chart, and has since been lost. It went against all the books that say sperm live for 2 to 3 days or 5 days at most. And my o date was confirmed by ultrasound dating at 5 weeks 3 days (sac & po...

7 days before. They lived in there for a week waiting for the egg.

One time BD 7 days before ovulation. It was not a deliberate sway.

I get 'Server Error in Application' every time. Any advice? I'm using the advanced Gold member search, trying one key word under subject, and only clicking one forum at a time to try not to overwhelm it! Thanks.

Many congratulations on your BFP.[:)] Dark lines always sound like good signs to me.
Do you have a chart you can post? Are you confident about your O date? Could you have O'd later than you thought, and did you have intercourse later in your cycle too, around a possibly later O?

Before a sperm can fertilise an egg, it must capacitate, or undergo changes within cervical fluid and through movement. Most research says this takes 6 hours. So my own theories, based on this, are as follows. If you o'd at noon, at the exact same time as bd, the earliest conception you could have would be o + 6. And even if capacitated sperm are waiting the moment the egg is released, you co...

I came across a study somewhere of HCG levels in very early pregnancy. At 10 & 11 & 12 DPO, hcg was higher for boys, then the gap slowly narrowed, and by 15 dpo, it was higher for girls, and the girls got increasingly higher compared to boys from that point on.

Estrogen is higher in concepton cycles than it is in non-conception cycles, and since estrogen lowers your temp, it makes theoretical sense that feeling colder than normal could be a symptom.

It really is difficult to help without seeing your actual chart. The visual really is important, and seeing it plotted with CM. FF is probably saying you are fertile because watery CM is often fertile, like egg white, though some women do get it after O, and FF is sometimes wrong. Can you post a chart? Do you do opk's?
