TTC Girl with PCOS and limited time.

Hello everyone,

I have been watching and reading all the threads on this site for a long time, but just recently decided to join. I am 23 years old and was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have 2 little boys ages 3 and almost 2. This is most likely my last chance for a little girl.

Atomic, I need some advice please!
I am currently on the last dose of my first round of Femara (days 3-7) and have been on 1500mg of Metformin for about 3 months. I am on day 7 of my cycle. My dr told us to BD every other day on cycle days 9-17 for best chance of conception. My question is what else can I do to have the best chance at having a little girl. Lubes? Change the days we dtd? I have no idea when I'll ovulate as I haven't ovulated naturally since my youngest son was conceived. Is there anything I can do or take to increase my chances of having my baby girl??

Is there anything I can eat or drink or anything specific I shouldn't? Or certain positions we should try? I know my timeframe is very short.. I just want any tips at all that may increase our chances of having a daughter.

Bump

M, please give me at least a few days to answer before bumping. I go from oldest to newest posts and so it only makes it take longer for me to catch up to your question. I will answer every post in the free forums so just give me a chance to catch them. :)

Timing and lube have not worked for us. I would NOT have you BD every other day though. I would BD every 4th day instead. We have had good results with that for pink and additionally, the Femara and Met will be helping you enormously.

I don't think worrying about your diet here and now is going to do anything at all to help and may cause some stress at the last minute that may sway blue. I want you to try this month since you've taken the Femara though - you can't skip months on the fertility medications.

NONE of the little things like positions make any difference really. Femara alone is MUCH more effective than any of that stuff. I would urge you not to start doing a last minute "swaycession" over all these things that haven't helped anyway when you already have in your corner.

Thanks Atomic! Sorry, I didn't know about the bump! So how long do we BD on every 4th day? Starting on what day and until when? Im on cycle day 8 today. My husband won't like that very much lol can he still release on the days in between?

Start the day after af ends and then go until you get a bfp or af starts.

No don't even worry about it, I just want you to get your answer as fast as poss.

Start right away and go through till when you are TOTALLY convinced you've Oed (even if that means you go all the way to next AF!)

You CAN let hubby release in between but it will cut odds of conception at any closer pattern than every 2 days. So since we don't want to cut odds of conceiving on the Femara I would not have him go any more than every 2 days.

So to be clear he can release every other day and we can BD every 4th day?

Or did you mean every third day? Sorry, I get confused with which days are which!
