If you were to swaying for boy, When would you DTD after you get your first +ve O.

OPK's detect the LH surge before you actually ovulate. The kits usually say that O should occur 24-48 hours after a +. I would be trying closer to the 24 hours because you don't want to risk missing the egg. And yes electic blanket does create + ions, no need to lay on it after you dtd because heat will kill sperm.
I am far from an expert, but I have read that if you get a +opk in the afternoon to bd the next morning after a shot of espresso for dh and some oj or something for dw b/c bloodsugar can naturally just be higher (good for boysway) in the AM.
Generally consensus is to DTD 12-18 hours after your first positive OPK.
I always have my electric blanket on the lowest setting. It isn't really even noticeably warm but at least it's getting some +ve ions out there.
SO would not this Sway for a girl. I have heard that if you DTD after 12 of +ve ovulation. it means the chances will increase for Girl. Is this true?Quote:

I think you are misunderstanding a little bit, let me explain.Quote:

The timing theory for a boy says to DTD on or just before ovulation. So if you DTD 12 hours after your first OPK, you are 100% certain that you are DTD on or just before ovulation.
There is another timing theory for girls that says if you DTD 12 hours after OVULATION (not after positive OPK, but after ovulation itself) that sways for a girl. Since pos OPK happen BEFORE ovulation, it is boy timing to DTD 12 hours after pos OPK because you will end up DTD on or just before ovulation, not 12 hours after ovulation.
Does this make sense??
People who believe in ions do use electric blankets to create pos ions. However, I do not believe in ions for swaying and I have concerns that electric blankets can cause your husband's testicles to heat up and kill off sperm, which can sway pink. Men who want boys need to keep their testicles cool by avoiding tight underwear and should not take hot baths either.Quote:
