After a few months of TTC w/ irregular cycles, I bought a Clearblue Digital Monitor. We really want to get pregnant, and really want a girl, although would be so happy with any healthy baby of course.
The past three days all showed high fertility, and we had sex on each day. Today is my first "peak" day. Should we have sex tonight too? Also-- does preseed HELP conceive? We have some but have only used it when we want/need lube. |

| from what I've heard, pre-seed does not help conception but it helps during sex and doesn't hurt fertility. |

| Bump. not OP, but would like to know when to BD during the Clearblue ovulation monitor cycle. |

| Yes, your peak days are the days you are most likely to get pregnant. |

Yes of course, it's your peak day ie: best day to conceive. Keep it going

| The peak days are the days you'll most likely get pregnant, but if you have egg white cervical mucus on any of your "high" fertility days (2 bars on the monitor) I'd say those are pretty good days--that very fertile mucus is what lets the sperm in to "wait" for the egg. I think earlier ("high" fertility days vs. peak) would increase the chances of a girl, wouldn't it? |

| This is the OP. That's what I'm wondering re: conceiving girl. How risky is it to miss the peak days and only have sex on high fertility days? |

Risky. Depends how important having a baby is to you. |

I can't offer much advice re: sex timing (other than to say have it as often as you can! Sex is fun!) but there's no evidence behind the idea that sex on certain times in the cycle is more likely to produce a boy or a girl. That notion is based on an erroneous, decades-old theory about X sperm being slow and Y sperm being fast based on the size of the X and Y chromosomes. More up-to-date research has disproven that theory.
