...but here are my OPK's anyways. We haven't BDed at the right time at all as we peaked too soon (so to speak :wink:) in my cycle and then DH was too tired to do anything when I got my +ve OPK (I'm not telling him when it's the right time as trying to keep him blissfully ignorant) and then we were out Friday and Saturday :roll:. Boo.

CD11 - -ve OPK
CD12 - -ve OPK, BD pm
CD13 - -ve OPK, strong ov pains, BD pm
CD14 - -ve OPK, strong ov pains, BD pm
CD15 - -ve OPK, strong ov pains
CD16 - +ve OPK
CD17 - -ve OPK


I did read this online though:

How to Conceive a Girl

Determining the Time of Ovulation:

Determining when you ovulate is vital when you are learning how to conceive a girl. Shettles recommends that you have sex 2 1/2 to 3 days BEFORE ovulation in order to increase your chances of conceiving a girl. Having sex closer to ovulation will dramatically decrease your chances of conceiving a girl. The timing of intercourse in relation to ovulation is a vital factor in increasing your chances of having a girl.

Frequency and Timing of Intercourse:

Shettles says in order to increase the chances of having a girl, you should have sex everyday from the end of your period up to 2 1/2 to 3 days before ovulation. After this point, do not have unprotected sex until several days past ovulation.
Intercourse further away from ovulation favors the larger slower moving X (girl) sperm. The weaker Y (boy) sperm will die more quickly in the more acidic preovulatory vaginal / cervical secretions and by the time of ovulation there will be a much larger concentration of X (girl) sperm available to fertilize the egg.



So, I'm hoping and praying that seeing as we BDed on CD14 and then I got my +ve OPK on CD16 possibly meaning that I ov on CD17...three days before ov???? Small possiblity???? :eh: Got everything crossed now and praying hard!!
