Not sure, you temperature has to be up for 3 days to confirm ovulation so if you bd and then the next three days your temperature were up I would say boy. If you BD a few days before the temperature rise and not after then girl.

Last time we BD twice on the day of ovulation and ended up with 2 boys There could be something in it.

ha ha! we did it every day the week leading up to ov and the week after. we don't know the baby's gender so no idea which day babe was conceived.

I was very very lucky as a relative of mine is a fertility specialist. After my second mc my periods were not regular and my cycles were very long. I was finding this very distressing as I was desperate to get pregnant again.

My relative said she'd scan me through my next cycle and we could see what was happening. So I went on CD 4 for a scan and then a week after.

She measured the follicles on my ovaries and estimated on what day the egg would be released. So we bonked every day for the next 2 weeks! It was a lot of fun. :rotfl:Then I had to go back for her to check that the egg had been released. It looked like it had.

A week later I had a positive pregnancy test. It was amazing - a total dream come true. :j

She snuck me in for a few cheeky scans too before my 12 week scan.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. This baby is gonna be smothered with love!

Yes, the first day of the higher temp was 3 (or 4) days afterwards (and temp didn't come down since then, although I gave up measuring after the positive test result!)

LadyM we were told nothing would change till bubs is born but they like to have a copy of the MatB1 cert on file which you get at 25 weeks, so that might be where the confusion is coming from?

Ah, possibly. Thank you.

I'm worried that being pregnant will trigger my transfer to ESA. I know it's going to happen at some point anyway.

I know that we'll be entitled to CTC and Child Benefit when baby is here and apparently that won't effect the IS or my DLA or DH's CA. I just like to know in advance what's going to happen as I struggle with change due to my mental health issues.

It's going to be hard being a disabled mum and for DH as he is my carer and going to have to care for baby too when I'm not well enough but I'm sure we'll manage somehow.
