Maybe you could just try the whole BD every 4 days thing so you don't have to use opks and stress as much? I'm struggling to make my sway as simple as possible as well because I'm a classic Martha and it is in my nature to get too wrapped up in things!

I am probably over thinking but dh is older, 45, so I read he shouldn't be abstaining and frequent release was the way to go. And FR with one attempt at pos opk got good results.
I think I'm trying to get everything to be exactly how I've read and that's not going to be possible.

You could have him FR (daily) but only BD once every 4 days? If I were you I would wait for AF to return and use opk, it seems like using opk to try to catch the first egg before AF would be stressful?

Also wondering if vitex or some supplement might help bring on AF? If you do have to wait a while for AF I would see it as a positive because it's more time on the diet.

Yeah I'm going to wait for first af to have a starting point. I'll have a look into possible supps to bring it back. Want to get the diet in full swing before ttc anyway

I find this stuff so fascinating! When I conceived DS I was in a high powered career and scored around (if memory serves) 80% of having a boy. This time (pre conception) I'm scoring around 55% girl. I'm obviously not foolish enough to think a test like this can predict my child's gender but I DO think staying home and being away from a high powered career has lowered my testosterone some and might at least help me sway girl a little bit.

My advice is to NOT take this test. :)

I do plan on taking this again after 2 months on LE to see if my results change. I'm really hoping to lower my t levels by strictly following the LE so I'm curious if lower t levels would change some things about my temperament and personality (and thus change my traits on quizzes like this).

do you see how making a plan to take this test after 2 months on LE IS a Martha type thing to do?

I don't want anyone to take this test while swaying/TTC. Period, end of story. If you want to take it when you get BFP out of curiosity that is up to you, but it's exactly the type of thing that I don't like to see people doing.

BD every 4 days is perfect for sperm health and fine for older dads. You just need to avoid the very long abstains 7+ days.

So does a man being older effect swaying?? Also, Ive read through this article and it just makes me bang my head against a wall even harder. I AM that BOY mom, the whole thing is ME to a T. Yet I have three girls. Don't understand.....

I think I read (read so much lately my head might explode lol) that older dads slightly sway pink due to age naturally lowering fertility. We still have all boys though. Lots of other factors at play I guess.
