I was in Hawaii by myself during my fertile window. We DTD two days before I left, but it was quite a bit before O. According to my dating scan, that was the sex that got me pregnant, which meant it was 6-7 days before O. CRAZY TOWN. I don't know the sex yet, but my midwife thinks girl based on the timing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2885055 Mon, 20 May 2019 13:25:30 +0000 Umbreon 2885055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Assuming my iui was what got me pregnant it was on O day and I had a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2885036 Mon, 20 May 2019 10:24:19 +0000 graceandjoy 2885036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was likely conceived O day and girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2885021 Mon, 20 May 2019 08:45:06 +0000 kayla0416 2885021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 - conceived O-1 or O-2 (girl)<br /> LO2 - conceived O day (girl)<br /> LO3 - conceived O-3 or O-5 (not sure yet!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884973 Sun, 19 May 2019 08:13:51 +0000 QBbride 2884973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on my dating scan, my older DD was conceived on 0-5. </p> <p>My son was conceived on our honeymoon when we were having tonsssss of sex. </p> <p>This baby (34 weeks) was conceived on O-3 or O-4 and it’s a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884965 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:42:02 +0000 lady baltimore 2884965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was most likely conceived after sex on O-5 (based on OPKs and temping). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884963 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:23:00 +0000 bees_knees 2884963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1: O-3 only (boy)<br /> LO2: BD twice, but both on O-1 (boy)<br /> LO3: multiple BD in fertile window, so who knows (boy)<br /> LO4: O-1 only (girl)</p> <p>Basically I’ve disproven Shettles multiple times 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884962 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:09:42 +0000 Sams Mom 2884962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 99% sure my son is an O-3. We weren't trying, we had successfully avoided for 3 1/2 years without any birth control and that was a weird month. Otherwise it would be an O-6 and that would have been very doubtful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884960 Sat, 18 May 2019 21:01:38 +0000 annem1990 2884960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue with my son as we BD'd several times during the fertile window.</p> <p>I'm pregnant with #2 and we BD'd roughly 0-2 (maybe 3 depending on how soon I actually ovulate after a positive OPK). Don't know sex yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884959 Sat, 18 May 2019 20:58:21 +0000 cyoung 2884959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my son I have no clue when it could have happened. I wasn't charting and on birth control. However with my daughter it was a weird month and we BD 5 days before and the day after ovulation. I did confirm O with temps. With this baby who is also a girl, I only used ovulation strips cause I wanted to take it easy. I had had a chemical the month before. We BDed 4 days before O and 2 days after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884956 Sat, 18 May 2019 20:08:00 +0000 bhbee 2884956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve never left it up to just one but for my last two successful pregnancies we just did the day I got my opk+ and the next. Boy first then girl. After a lot of ttc we just did the minimum! I had stopped charting by then but from when I did I’ll call o-1 my lucky day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884955 Sat, 18 May 2019 19:55:53 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2884955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: We had sex on Sunday triggered at 8am Monday and an IUI on Tuesday at 1pm, so technically that's two chances. I typically ovulate 36 hours post trigger. We had a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/optimal-conception-timing#post-2884952 Sat, 18 May 2019 19:49:33 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2884952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you happen to know, based on charting and only BD’d once during fertile period, what day before ovulation did you conceive? And for fun, did you have a boy or a girl? </p>
