I'm sorry I'm flooding this board with so many questions lately. It's just that now is the time, and I'm realizing there are still so many things I feel lost on.
The big thing you have to know and is that DH doesn't know what's going on. He's happy about TTC, and he wants to sway for a boy, but he doesn't want to know until after we're safely pregnant. He just gets super stressed about it, and after what we went through conceiving DD, I agree he's better off not knowing. So since May, we've agreed I'll try it when I want to and try not to let him know. Of course, that makes swaying SO much harder!
I thought I'd most likely ovulate on/around Saturday the 1st. To sway for a boy, we stopped DTD after Tuesday. It was NOT easy, especially since DH didn't know. Anyway, Saturday came and went, and I was still getting negative OPKs. Finally, Sunday night it was faintly positive. So we BDd last night (Monday). I was able to sneak in the baking soda finger, pre-seed and even got DH to drink caffeine. I Od and dictated position, so all that was fine. But after an hour he wanted to do it again! I tried to put him off by being creative, but it backfired and we ended up doing it again with regular lube. I just froze and couldn't come up with any reason not to that didn't sound suspicious. Then this morning my temp had only gone up 0.2, so I don't know if I actually ovulated. Maybe, maybe not.
Anyway, that's the background info and here's my question: if I'm not sure whether I ovulated, do we do it again tonight? Same drill with swaying? Or should I avoid it?
TIA!!

Sorry to not be much help, for me I only attempted once, when I thought ovulation was at that moment, and it was our first try with my oldest, but it took us 5 months of trying with our second guy. All of this to say, I think you have to do what you feel comfortable with. If you have been doing taking your alka seltzer and or baking soda, your ph may balance the timing anyway.
I would say try again tonight, I don't think it really can hurt.
Well, we didn't do it. I was getting so crazy over not knowing if it would help or hinder us, and in the end I knew I could never be sure. So I figured I'd act like it was any other night, and if it happened - fine. DH had a rough day and wasn't in the mood, so it didn't happen. I know I'm going to second guess myself over that, and over the actual O day. I hate having such ambiguous signs now; that's why I was relying more heavily on the OPKs. But I feel like I've done what I can, and I'll hope for the best and be happy. :)
Now I'll settle in for that eternal 2WW, and then (if it works out) the even longer wait to find out the gender. Thanks for your support!
I was just here to check on you. You have a good attitude!! I'm sure that DH not wanting to know can be frustrating. The 2WW for you will be hard for me too, I'll be thinking of you!
And I love your sig, she is so cute!
