Length of abstinence question

[belleboi]

So, we DTD on O-1 and O-2, before O-2 our abstinence length was 4 days. So is my length of abstinence 4 days or 0 days because of DTDing two days in a row. Does this question make any sense? LOL

Is it 4 days abstain with 2 attempts in fertile window :think:
Not sure either :)

Are you trying for a boy or a girl??

It was zero days because you DTD 2 days back to back.

[belleboi]

boy, definitely:) ok thanks!

Oh and the reason I was asking is because I'm poring over the stats spreadsheet. on the abstain length stat there are 15 sways of 4 day abstinence with a nearly 87% success rate. 0 day abstinence has 12 sways with a 75% success rate. I wonder if these stats include the old IG method of abstinence and one attempt? probably.

Those are both fantastic rates of success and please understand that the % difference between the two is down to one lucky/unlucky sway. You can't extrapolate anything from those numbers, and really you had BOTH, because your O-2 attempt came after 4 days abstinence and those swimmers had a great shot at the egg, and the O-1 attempt was the one with 0 days abstinence.

We got TERRIBLE results with the IG type blue sways in our first year. Those numbers are not represented in that stat thread but they were just AWFUL (30-40% boys, the rest girls). You are in with a great attempt and I'd feel very good about it.

Thank you Atomic! I'm feeling pretty good about it too, I just wish we could have gotten another attempt in...we only had 2:/

Oh well! 4DPO now and only time will tell!

2 is still good and there are both X and Y in every batch! :)
