Calling all conceiving professionals and baby boy gender swaying professionals ;)
I've been gearing up for a few months now for my husband and I to start trying to conceive at the end of March. Been tracking ovulation etc. I should be ovulating around this time next week. Eeeek! So excited. So here's my plan. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything or planning any of this wrong. We are kinda trying to gender sway for a boy since we already have two amazing girls.
*Starting on cycle day 8 I'm going to start doing my OPKs twice a day. Thinking late morning and late afternoon or early evening?
*i think I read for a boy, you want hubby to "release" his goods 4 days before expected ovulation. Do I just try to guess on that? And I know no sex that close to ovulation - can just do a handjob or something lol. What if I happen to ovulate 5 or 6 days from the day he released prior?
*Once I see a positive (hopefully I catch the beginning of the surge by testing daily) we will have sex within 12 hours to try for a boy. Should we also have sex the second day too for a boy or only the once?
*will have hubby drink caffeine or energy drink before sex to help sperm go faster
*I have preseed to use and read about mixing in some baking soda to help with the ph levels to make it better for boy? I'm going to have him give me an "O" before we have sex. Then we will do doggie style (to get sperm closest to egg for a boy). I'll also try to O when he does or right after to help sperm get there faster.
*im not doing much of the boy diet. But I am already on a high fat diet bc I've been on a low carb diet.
*drinking lemon water week of ovulation.
Sorry for the novel! I know some of this is just for fun and of course we will be happy with a third girl ;)

I'm new to all of this so would love someone to look over my ideas. So nervous!

Hi!

:agree: on OPK.

I think it's best to have your husband release every 2-4 days either with you or on his own as far in advance of attempt as possible. Sperm take 72 days to form and for best sperm health he needs to be "cleaning the pipes" regularly for that time.

I personally think it's fine to have actual unprotected sex every 2-4 days. Your call to make on that. Some people are scared of timing, but timing doesn't sway (has been totally debunked) and exposure to the hormones in his semen may make youmore blue friendly.

We are getting 75% success for PINK with one attempt. I BEG you to go for more than one attempt. 3 attempts at or around pos OPK getting 80% success for blue. So I would say the afternoon/night of pos OPK, again the next morning, then the following day.

I think we are getting better results with just Preseed and NOT baking soda. We are moving away from baking soda because it was prevening pregnancy.

doggie style is at your discretion, it's fine if you can do it but no magic bullet. Most women can't O in that position.

I do not like a low carb diet for TTC a boy. Protein + carbs at every meal and snack is best for a boy. I would add in some fruit or higher carb veg for better odds at a boy.
