TTC baby girl after 3 boys, Help!

Great!

I don't think pH sways at all after seeing tons of pH opposites (including my 4th boy, who I got with pH of 4.5 that never went up till after I was already pregnant.) I have a full investigation and debunking of pH here https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...ph-pickle.html

Releasing daily may sway pink, but also cuts odds of conception. Can you clarify what you mean by helping or hurting?

It's probably time to hold steady on weight loss!

There are some good alt. diet meals in this thread https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...diet-pcos.html and even though these aren't alt-diet specific, there are good tips in them too https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...rt-thread.html

Can you please clarify what you're confused over??

I'm concerned that releasing daily may not be the best option for us. That maybe we're depleting sperm or the sperm quality.

We've not had any issues getting pregnant with the 3 boys, they were all conceived with sex the day before and day of ovulation - not swaying. And to my knowledge we don't have a sperm count issue. Though I suppose we could test it.

Should we continue with daily sex? My husband doesn't seem to be up for daily. I'm fine with any kind of schedule.

I read the 2 part post and since my pH is already low I was wondering if I should use rephresh instead? I also have sylk.

If we use rephresh or replens what sex timing is recommended? And what usage is recommended? Should I use either rephresh or replens in combination with still?

At this point, it's our 5th month trying, we used replens with approximately 2.5 day cut off last month and it made identifying fertile mucus more difficult and I didn't get pregnant.

Thanks!

Well, releasing daily DOES cut sperm numbers but we believe that to sway pink.

It doesn't hurt sperm quality, though, since the sperm is fresh.

There's no real benefit to testing sperm unless you've been trying for quite a long time.

If your husband can't do daily sex then it needs to go. Men get very easily burned out on BD patterns for swaying and it has caused lots of trouble for people.

Let me reread this thread from start to finish to give you an answer on the last question

Ok. When it comes to frequency the important thing is having one attempt (to start out with anyway) and as you found out, O-3 is really low chances of conception. If you still want cutoff that's fine, but do that with O-2 attempt or with attempt at first positive OPK.

Since your husband is 32, you can do the abstain if you'd like, no need for the daily release. I NEVER recommend daily unprotected sex because I think it sways blue (as explained in this thread https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...nk-lately.html) Or, you can have regular sex every 2-4 days with protection (or have hubs release that often) with the one unprotected attempt, or just let him "do what he does" and then keep the one unprotected attempt.

Sure, you can use RepHresh instead if you like.

Every 3 days starting after your period ends, stopping 12 -24 hours before your planned attempt.

No replens, I think it's useless. Worse than RepH at doing what it does, and worse than Sylk/Acijel at doing what they do.

oh whoops I did not see it's the 5th month before - are you ready to start boosting chances of conception?? Or would you instead like to keep the one attempt but move the cutoff closer?? 2.5 day cutoff is still quite far out and not great odds with one attempt.

Ok, I will give the Rephresh a try this month. I'm gearing up for ovulation any day so I won't have used it all that many times. My pH has hung out at 4-5 (not exactly sure since I'm using test strips rather than a digital), my husband's has remained constant around 8-9 even with diet and exercise. What amount of rephresh should I use? Since I have sylk is there any benefit to combining it with the rephresh? Or only using sylk or only using rephresh?

I am comfortable with the one attempt since my boys were all 3 conceived with multiple attempts before and on Ovulation Day (we're Catholic and use Natural Family Planning - Symptothermal Method for charting temps and mucus) so I'm confident in my ovulation days. I have an older ClearBlue Fertility Monitor I use as well, would you suggest our unprotected attempt be on the first Peak reading? Based off of my charting that seems to be about 2 days before ovulation. I really would like to get pregnant sooner rather than later, but also would LOVE for my pregnancy to result in a girl, so I'm attempting to remain patient. If you were in my position, what would you do? (I'm sure this is your most common, least favorite question to answer!) :wink:

I appreciate your help!

Help!! I think we messed up, I swore my fertility monitor would read peak today based on my fertile signs, it said high again, but we'd already BD'd. I put in about half of the rephresh yesterday and our BD was about 15hr after the rephresh. USUALLY I have a peak fertility monitor reading and ovulate 2 days after the first peak. So at this point I'm still probably 3ish days from ovulation based on 5 previous cycles.

My OPK peaked at about 3:30pm, so an hour ago or so. Last month we BD once at peak and didn't end up pregnant. I know multiple times sways boy, but I'm afraid our attempt is too early now. What do we do? Am I just out for the month?
