This is my Basal Body Temperature chart for this month.
All it’s done this month is confuse me!
Based on past cycles, I would have expected the temperature on the 17th to have dropped consitently from the past few days, but instead, it increased!
I did an ovulation test on Saturday 16th, which showed positive. I wanted to do one on the 15th, but when I sent Frank shopping, he couldn’t find the tests.
A positive test on the 16th, suggested that I’d ovulate within 12-48 hours. Further away from the ovulation point, and the chance of you being a girl would increase, as girl-producing sperm are larger and more hardy than boy-producing sperm, and stand a stronger change of out-living the deadly conditions that are the female reproductive system. Survival of the fittest, I guess.
Anyways, when I took my temperature on the 16th, I panicked, thinking that I’d actually missed the ovulation date, and that my temperature was on the increase. Of course, after charting yesterday’s temperature, I see that it fell then.
I wanted to try to give you as much chance of being a boy, as a girl … and I think we’ve managed to time everything as such. Now, it’s just a waiting game.
I have no preference.
