What plan to sway for a girl
Hi mums.
I'm currently swaying for a pink after 2 boys (both 1BD).
I'm 29 and hubby 37. We had a 2 months break after trying for 4months. Also doing the girls diet and taking supplements. My ph is 5.5 but will try to get it lower.
After reading a lot of information, I don't know which way to go for my plan to TTC a girl this month. BD every day from AF to O for 4 months didn't work.
My Af arrived today and my O happens between d15-17 with a 26-30day cycle. We will try Shettles (not confident in trying 0+12).
If I O on d16,
Abstain until day 10 and BD on 10,12,14(first +OPK) with a 2 days cut off
or abstain until d10 and bd until d14
I'm excited but a bit scared at the same time. I just needed reassurance to TTC girl. What do you think? Would love to hear from you all.

Welcome . We usually do things a bit differently here. Abstain is not really good for men over 35. It harms sperm health. What most people do here is one attempt when they get a positive OPK. One attempt has been getting great results for pink for us and by timing it when you have a positive OPK you have much better odds of conception. You can DTD any time you like during your cycle - just use a condom or withdrawal. Come and join us in the June TWW thread!

one attempt at +opk. yield great result here. Too many bd during fertile period will put u in boy zone.
monitor your cervical mucus.. Try not to have ewcm. I highly suspect there is correlation for ewcm for boy and cm for girl.

BD every day from AF to O is not a high rate of conception because your husband's sperm count is really low by the time the egg arrives.
You can't abstain due to your husband's age.
Shettles timing drastically reduces odds of conception and doesn't work anyway.
Having more than one attempt in the fertile window really lowers odds of pink, so my recommendation is for you to either BD unprotected every 4 days starting after AF and continuing thru ovulation OR have hubby release every 2-4 days on his own or with you, with a condom, and then go for one attempt the day before you expect to ovulate or day of positive OPK whichever is easier for you

Every 2-4 days on his own or with you, with a condom.
OR we have been trying the every 4 day method where you BD unprotected eveyr 4 days starting after AF ends and going through confirmed ovulation.

Thank you atomic for your advice. For so long I believed in Shettles. But ill try every 2-4days.
Is it ok if the attempt is between 1-4days after the last release? I know more that 4 days the sperm is at his best for boys?

They're not at their best for boys. It's just higher sperm count when he releases 2-4 days apart. There are still 50-50 X and Y sperm, something about the one release makes more girls for reasons we don't understand. It is ok for the attempt to be 1-4 days after last release. But don't go to 6-7-8 days because that is not safe due to your husband's age. May make for bum swimmers.
Just want to clarify, if you do the unprotected sex method that HAS to be every 4 days. If he's relelasing on his own with one attempt, then you can do every 2-4 days.

Thank you Atomic for the response. Im due to O next week, until then it will be frequent release and 1 attempt closer to the day.
THANK YOU!
