baking soda and OPK

Hello everyone,

I am going to start swaying for a BOY on my next AF on July 26th. I am TTC in Septembers cycle. I have a question about baking soda douche and O day.

1. Where can I find a baking soda douche? Where can I find a douche bottle to make it?

2. If I get a + OPK on August 10th when should me and DH BD???? (when TTC a boy)

3. Is 3 cycles enough time for a good sway? I am starting my diets and sups this month but plan to TTC in Sept/Oct.

Thank you for your help!

Hey GGandB I didn't use a douche and I know many ladies now prefer the BSfinger because the douche washes away all the eggwhite CM. 6 weeks is minimum on diet and supps so 3mths sounds great! With the OPK it's recommended 12 hours after the first positive OPK. You will be able to use the next couple of months to suss out how soon u ovulate after first OPK. BDing 12 hours before O is best for boy.

Thank you HappyRose!  You are a wealth of knowledge.  I am so nervous because I am not consistant with things so I will forget something and mess it all up. 

GGandB I'm sure you will do a great job! You have a couple of months to prepare and it really does just become second nature. There is sooo much info that it can be scary! I went through FAQ and the Ebook and took notes of what I thought was important for me and also took notes when reading threads. Then I summarized my notes and finally wrote out a what to do each day....such as supps x3, eat breakfast, BSD x3 etc...eventually I didnt need to look what to do and take. it also helped to have step by step written down what to do on the attempt (not very romantic I know!) my best purchase also was a pill holder for DH and I which held our daily pills. Like you I never thought I could do all that the other ladies do but somehow it all came together, and it will for you too

Thank you.  I think the hardest part for me is pinpointing O day.  I took a OPK yesterday I have the clearblue easy fertility moniter.  Yesterday the monitor started to rise but not O yet.  So I am wondering when is O day.  Yesterday was my 14th day so I guess the 16th day is my O day so I am wondering which day do I BD for the boy????  I definitley agree about the pill box.  I plan to get that as well. I am going out on Saturday to shop for my supps.  I am so excited.  Which supps did your DH take?  I was going to get my DH to take folic acid, zinc, and potassium and I plan on taking foic acid, zinc, potassium, fish oil, fertile cm, and green tea.  What do you think???

Your supps sound great, give them a go and see how they r working for you in regards to ph and CM quality. I'm not familiar with the monitor sorry. I just took an OPK twice a day until I got to day 13ish then started every 4 hours to catch the very start of my surge. Then I was planning on BDing straight away because I O quickly after my surge. It didn't quite work out that way lol but that was my plan. As I said see if u can work out roughly how long it takes u to O after OPK. Temping is how I did this. My sway is in the attempts and outcomes section with the name HappyRose Boy sway, u will find all the supps DH and I took outlined. It can also be handy to go through the successful boy sways and see what they took. lastly there is a ttc boy in July thread where many ladies share info, even if u are not attempting in July u should come on over

Good luckwith your sway!
