Not sure if this question was ever asked but going based off the whole timing thing and if in fact girls are slower than boys...if you do bd, say three or four days in a row right around on or through O, wouldn't the girls already be waiting there by the egg?? Why does a cut off matter and why would it matter if you actually continue to bd right near O?
I hope that made sense and you ladies understand what I'm trying to ask :p
cut offs aren't proven in independent studies - some studies even show more girls conceived from a BD on OV day... personally I will be BDing through O!
Shettles theory that girl-sperm swim slower and last longer than boy-sperm has also been disproved.
Ya, I did read that study actually!! I sure hope it's true because I bd'd before O probably during too!! I just hope my alteration of diet did the trick ;)
I think the general concensus is that since so many studies have been done on timing and so many conclusions have been reached (or not!) that it probably doesn't matter at all! I wouldn't worry about it at all (and we're planning our one attempt on O day!). Good luck, I hope you get your BFP soon x
Thanks!!! Me too....I wanna enjoy real food again!! LOL
That is what Shettles believed and he claimed that frequent BD through O should sway pink. But the assumptions upon which he based all his theories, that X was big and hardy and Y was small and fast, was a complete and total mistake on his part when he mistook capacitated and uncapacitated sperm for X and Y. X and Y sperm are believed to be equally fast and long-lived. Please read http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...rm-and-Y-spermQuote:
