    Why is one attempt a sway tactic?

    If it's not to do with poor quality sperm why does one attempt sway at all?
    I feel egar to get pregnant quickly but don't want to compromise my sway by multiple attempts which is what we did when we got pregnant with ds.
    Does anyone know the chance you have of pregnancy with one be at positive opk?

    No one knows why one attempt seems to sway girl. It is a new sway tactic, but seems to be getting excellent results (70%).

    I know that both my boys were conceived with 2 attempts in the fertile window.
    Me: 35 years old. Was an infant nanny and birth and postpartum doula. Now a full time SAHM.
    DS1: Aug 2003 (my first home birthed water baby!)
    DS2: May 2009 (my second home birthed water baby!)

    July 2016: Laproscopic surgery to remove a ping pong ball sized endometrioma on left ovary and 3 pea size fibroids on outside of uterus. Hysteroscopy to remove one larger "penetrating fibroid" inside uterus.
    Oct 2016: Heartbroken after DH's vasectomy. Looks like my dreams of a daughter are gone.

    We had an attempt at O-4 and then one at at OPK+. I think it counts as one attempt as nothing would have been left from the first one.
    Anyway, it got me my BFP on only my second cycle.

    We don't know why it works. We came into this with tons of ideas and theories and preconceived notions and then were blindsided by our results which were overwhelmingly one attempt (plus girl diet etc) sways strongly pink. It seems very likely that since we have given up other things like timing and pH (which used to be DONE with one attempt) and then continue to get these results, that one attempt is probably the reason why things like timing even appeared to work.

    Our results have held steady for years now which is 70-75% with one attempt, 60-65% with 2 attempts, falling to 40-45% with 3 or more. Since we started emphasizing the one attempt our success rates have gone up even as we dropped other things like jellies and antihistamines.

    You have a great chance of conception from one intercourse. THere are hundreds of millions of sperm in one shot and positive OPK is the best time for conception.

    My DH wanted all this swaying stuff explained to him so I just told him that for whatever reason lower sperm count equals more girls and so we only want one lot of sperm meeting the egg and not two. He was happy with that . I wonder if it's that simple though!
    Very blessed with

    Technically it could be since Sperm can live 7 days, buy they're like slow ass drunken sailors by then... Most die after 12 hours, and then the decline is steady, most lasting no more than 3-5 days. I wouldn't sweat it Purple. The every 4 days is getting such great results.
