So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

What will we call it?

Thanks for the info Footprints! I've always thought I ov'd CD13 because I get my LH peak CD12 and usually a temp rise CD14 am, so my last DTD is usually CD12 as soon as I see the peak, then stop. But maybe I ov later than I always suspected, but if I risked it and DTD CD13, that would be very much blue territory if I'm correct on what I've recorded and suspected for the last few months. Was going to try DTD CD14 onwards, because there's a theory that 12 hours after you ov (when cm turns creamy again) the environment down there changes to favour pinks. All added confusion and complications to an already tricky process!! I care less about it as the months go on.
I take calcium and magnesium and eat pink friendly around ovulation (lots of dairy, minimal salt and potassium).
I can't remember if you were doing anything to sway? xx

I agree it's so complicated to get the timing right anyway for either. My friend tried for a boy couple of times as she had three girls but now is expecting her 4th girl! Crazy

Now I could be wrong but potassium is more blue I think? Bananas and potatoes to avoid!!!!

Anyway I've got to the point now where I don't care- pink would be nice as I have 2 boys. But I'm just craving a baby now so whatever- let nature decide. Taking mag and calcium but not timing dtd as hard to pin him down anyway when timing right, so I have to take what I can! Confused

Jod- yes we might need to roll over to a new thread soon, can't believe how many posts on this!

You are not going to believe this but I just took an opk as my twinges feel like ovulation again..

Footprints maybe take a preg test? As you are CD26 and like me it could be picking up HCG?
