Timing and frequency are only one way to sway, there are others like diet and sups and exercise, that may be even more important so just because you got your son bding every 4 days doesn't mean it sways blue. Right now one attempt at +OPK has gotten the best pink results and I beg you NOT to bd through o as that us a sure fire way to a boy (my second son!!)

OK I just want to clarify a bit more, I believe sweetdream was using the expression "cut off" as in "cutting DH off from having sex" aka abstain. Occasionally some people use "cutoff" when they mean abstain. So she was saying do not have unprotected sex any more often than every 4 days. :)

FB, another option is to stretch that every 4 days, to every 5 or even 6 (I'd stick with 5). That way you can be sure that you will not be doing the same thing that got you your son. It may make it harder to get pg, but then again you may get lucky right away and have the "go day" fall in a good margin close to ovulation. :) Just a thought.

I'm not sure what to do. I've been using OPKs but I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (a bit if EWCM, O pains and bad nausea), but the OPKs never picked it up. But at the same time my husband has VERY good swimmers.. The licorice root does not seem to be affecting him doing FR at all like it does for most men. I'm not sure if I should get him to do FR and just BD when I get the signs of O or do every 4-5 days.. Thoughts??

Update: I just got a positive OPK. Not trying this month but good to know vitex is regulating my cycle!

the LR has a cumulative effect over time, so just because it hasn't started to affect him yet, doesn't mean it won't in future. this is a benefit of the every 4 day method too because people have missed entire months when their hubby couldn't complete the transaction.

You are asking me one of those crystal ball q's and I really can't answer because I simply don't know. :)
