which way are you trying to sway?

iv be guessing somewhere around day 13-14 would be O day...

as above, get some OPKs from ebay, or a maybe baby ov tester, or start charting your cycle :D

My SIL used the shettles method to get her DD. Google it theres heaps of info on it. Basicly the closer to O you BD the greater chance of having a boy as boy sperm swim fast but die quick, and for girl the further out from O the better (but still must be in your fertile period- so probably 3 day before) cos girl sperm are slow but live longer.
We BD 3 days before I O, we were temping and we got preg 5 more weeks and we'll no if its a girl or boy.
Good luck

You can also monitor your CM and the changes in your cervix. Basically, a few days leading up to ovulation your CM will begin to change and become clear, stringy or like egg white. Your cervix will move higher up and will open and soften. If you're trying for a girl you should BD as soon as you start getting these symptoms and not BD any later than CD 12 (assuming O is day 14) If you're after a boy then no BD-ing until the day of O or the day before. Obviously there are no guarantees that this will work for you.

It may take you a couple of chances to get to know your body and get it right.

Well I have a spot on 28 day cycle and after 4 months of TTC still no luck. I always assumed that I O'd somewhere between days 14 and 16 (which is what the text books say for a typical 28 day cycle), which is when my DH & I BD'd. Anyway, at the DR's recently she advised that it is possible to O at ANYTIME and you really can't guess it. Some women O twice :eek:! So I'm not taking any chances anymore and I've just started to chart my temp so I can try to make sense of when I really do O.
