Swaying girl - DH 40 and DTD
Hi everyone, newbie here!
I stumbled across this website when I was googling gender selection. My husband has two boys already and I'm really wishing for a girl. We are only having a one child so this is my only chance! I was already settled with Shettlers method, missionary position and trying to lower my pH. So after finding this forum I decided to change my tactics!
We agreed we are TTC at the end of April or beginning of May. So I have about 12 weeks to get things ready! Here's my plan so far:
- I'm petite but I can lose about 4 kilos without being underweight so I'm definitely trying the LE diet. I'm also thinking I could look up that may sway for pink. I think I'm going to leave the skipping breakfest part closer to the O.
- I don't drink coffee or alcohol but I decided to pump up my Coke zero (caffeine and aspartame) and white wine intake. Maybe I buy a bottle of wine and drink 1-2 glasses per day just before ovulating.
- We are both vegetarians so we are going to keep doing that. (But so was my husband's ex-wife and they had two boys.)
- I eat lots of candy and chocolates so I'm reliefed I don't need to change that. :D
- I do some yoga and dance but I could add walks to my exercises.
- I have been taking multivitamin as a prenatal but I'm switching them to Folate only. I have been using Cranberry before because I had a phase when I was constantly getting bladder infections. I might start using them again occasionally.
- I just ordered Replens because my DH and I are quite active so I'm trying my best to keep my pH low.
- Lucky for me I have a regular cycle or at least I did before starting pills. I have two weeks left so after that I can start tracking my ovulations. I'm still going to use OPKs just in case.
Only thing I'm really confused about is the BD part. I'm not sure what is best for us because my DH is 40 years old. My DH is also on medication that affects on his sperm quality so I don't think abstaining is option for us. I'm thinking we should aim for the one attempt only O-3 or O-2. He will be taking hot showers frequently (so am I because we live in a cold country) and I was planning to do the jump and dump.
Any advices? What else I should do?
