Hey, Im new to NTNP too we have a little boy 12 months old and we really dont see the point in waiting to have another..we are married, own a house and want our kids close in age..I got my Implanon out over a month ago but havent had AF and not a BFP either although i knew i wouldnt get one straight away

You usually ovulate on roughly between day 10 and 14 of your cycle?? i think.. OH and we too are hoping for a girl as we have had our boy Ive read a few articles that say certain things like male sperm are quicker but dies faster whereas female sperm are slower but lives longer

good luck!

Everyone ovulates at a different time in their cycle but it's "typically" between 10-14 days after if you have a regular 28 day cycle. If your cycle is longer, it could be 12-16 days before your next is due. Since my cycle is never regular and I've been on BC for 11 years, I really wanted to get to know my cycle and my body so I've begun watching my Basal Body Temperature. This is done by taking my temperature immediately upon waking each morning (before getting out of bed or even rolling over!) and tracking it. I use www.countdowntopregnancy.com as I found it to be the most user friendly but I also tried fertilityfriend.com and mymonthlycycles.com so it's just personal preference.

As for increasing the odds of having a baby girl, you need to become more comfortable with pinpointing your exact day of ovulation (which can be done by charting your CM, BBT, and cervical position patterns) and then up to 3 days before ovulation. You can learn more by reading a book called Choosing the Sex Of Your Baby which I found very interesting. Basically, female are hardier and live longer in the acidity of uterus, up to 4-5 days. Male are faster swimmers but die quickly (about 1 day) unless in an alkaline environment when they can live appx up to 2 days. Your uterus becomes less acidic each time you orgasm and as you get closer to your ovulation date so by BDing the day before, day of, and day after ovulation (and by orgasming more) you greatly increase your odds of having a baby boy. If you up to 3 days prior to ovulation and avoid orgasming, you're more likely to have a baby girl. You can probably read more online as well - it's known as the Shettles Method.

As much as my fiance I would prefer to have a baby girl first, we're going all out this month - our first cycle off birth control. As I get to know my cycle better, if we still haven't gotten a , we'll be more selective in the days we to increase the odds of having a baby girl. For now though, we're just BDing every other day to every day - whenever it strikes our fancy really.

Anyway, good luck and to you!
