DH and I dtd for real 6 days in row. I didn't know that swayed boy! I get so confused with all this information.
I freely tell anyone who'll listen that I'm planning to try one more time for a girl. They can judge me if they want - anyone who knows me knows my 3 boys are my world and I'll love a 4th boy just as much.
I know that's how I should feel, mocha, and I always think good for you when people are like that but I do worry what people think of me, it's ingrained in me and I can't really change it!
As for dtd, I didn't mean lots of days in a row as that's frequent bding but I wasn'ypt sure if just 2 days in a row 'for real' counts as frequent bding to my body. Am I not making sense?!?!
No - that makes sense. I just noticed that very few of you dtd lots of times, and started to worry we shouldn't have been doing that after all. I suppose it doesn't matter because even with all that BD (I think one month we dtd 7 days in a row after he'd released for 7 more before that!), we still haven't gotten pregnant. I don't think at this point I'd want to leave it all down to one attempt anyway. I think I'm just feeling so unconfident about my sway that I'm looking for excuses to pick it apart.
I actually planned to dtd several days again but ov surprised me by being the earliest it's been since I charted, now I just don't know what to do, I don't feel at all stressed just confused! Funny enough I don't even feel desperate to get pregnant this cycle! I suppose I feel I barely swayed compared to my other attempts and my body seems to have returned to normal ( and we know normal means boys!) um, who knows!!
swish - it doesn't matter whether you DTD every day or DH releases every day or a combination of the 2! DTD every day, preferably 7-10 days prior to you DTD at your fertile time, will still sway pink because it lowers DH's sperm count. DTD 'for real' more than once increases your chances of pregnancy because it increases 'your' sperm count BUT some people swaying pink may need to do it that much because of the negative effect that the others things they're dong (diet/antihistimines/gels etc.) have on fertility. It's a fine balance and it's different for everybody! If I were you and I'd had a few attempts and a cycle where I didn't ovulate at all, I think I'd go for it again :D
Thank you, I appreciate that :)
At this point it's hard to say whether not getting pregnant was anything to do with dh, I think probably not, I think it was my messed up cycles and my body reacting to supplements and diet but we don't know!! I'm going to dtd tomorrow morning if temp has not risen - I'm not going to think about it again!!!! X
Good girl :D
Sounds like a good decision, swish!
Thanks, xxxxxx
Thanks for the welcome ladies :)
Mocha- I ended up having 2 m/c and so gave up all swaying and did everything fertility friendly which is obviously boy friendly. I was just desperate to get pg in the end and am thrilled with ds2 but still wish wish wish for a girl. This is my last chance so am starting with as much as I can and drop stuff if it takes too long to get pg. What are you doing this time?
