TTC a boy! HELP!!!

No saliva, it actually kills sperm. You may see bign improvements on an HE Diet and there is also green tea and grapefruit juice, plus lemon water, thoe things may help.

It's not malnutrition per se but just that if your body is a little "nervous" that you may not be in a good environment to have another baby, it uses very primitive methods to lower your fertility and prevent pregnancy. Drying up CM, delaying ovulation, shortening your luteal phase.

OH yes and also blood sugar, has anyone mentioned that yet??? Eating regular meals with protein and carbs at every meal and snack helps keep your blood sugar in a nice range. XY fertilized eggs prefer a higher level of glucose in your cervical mucus and develop more quickly when you've got stable blood sugar (and this is actually the best proven part of swaying, with researchers in a lab actually able to tell the difference between XX and XY based on this). But you don't need to worry about that, as long as you are eating regular meals with protein and carbs at every meal and snack (or at least most of the time)

I honesty CAN'T give you a list like that because there are people who could do all those things and then be smoking a pack a day and still get girls because it isn't that list of 10 things that really works, it is improving your condition and fertility as a whole both for you and for DH and together for you as a couple.

All that having been said if you do these things we are getting best results with them:

Eat a nutrient dense diet with more animal fats than vegetable ones, eat 3 meals a day and 2-5 snacks, protein and carbs at every meal and snacks.

Take a prenatal or good multivitamin without a bunch of megadoses or herbs in them, and the same for your husband, plus some fish oil or DHA Husband can take carnitine and that may help.

If you are underweight gain up to 10-15 lbs, if normal weight gain up to 3-5 lbs, if overweight gain nothing up to 3 lbs.

Do musclebuilding exercise but do not overtrain. no more than 45 min at once, 4-5 days a week tops.

Get lots of rest

If you have lots of natural CM that's great, if not use Preseed.

Avoid things that decline your fertility for either you or DH or together as a couple. This includes things like smoking, excessive exercise, excessive crash dieting, biking/jogging by DH, tight underwear, excessive heat, and things like baking soda douche that actually wash away your body's natural CM. Hving your husband release regularly, every 2-4 days, can help. We believe that having regular unprotected sex also helps sway blue by exposing you to the hormones in your husband's semen but I understand that you are probably not going to be willing to do that because it goes against shettles. REgular orgasms for you (2x a week and then one with your attempts if possible) may help a little.

Have more than one attempt in that fertile window. If you can't let go of Shettles that's fine, wait till pos OPK or day before O.

Anyone else, am I missing anything?

Not just for a boy but just to help the sperm along in general since I'm so dry down there as it is. Maybe also due to malnutrition? I suppose we'll see. Thank you everyone for all the help!!!

In my experience, the healthier I got from my diet the more EWCM I had. I conceived my girls with minimal but by the time I was ovulating and DTD for this baby, I had tons, almost too much at times.

I do think malnutrition has a lot to do with our EWCM. As you change your diet pay attention to the EWCM and you may not even need preseed in the end.

From what I've read through Atomic and elsewhere, the female orgasm secretes more alkaline cm- which is more overall sperm friendly. Also the muscle contractions that happen during the female orgasm also move the sperm along the tract helping it get to its destination. I have heard this helps greatly with blue swaying as the best odds for a blue sway is to be as fertile healthy and sperm friendly as possible. You can orgasm at anytime really, but I believe before hubby does.. But any orgasm during intercourse before or after is great!

I don't think it will lessen your odds too much however if you do not orgasm since the cm is naturally more alkaline during ovulation anyway.. The orgasm just helps:) it won't HINDER or sway pink necessarily to NOT orgasm.

That's just my perspective but atomic can totally correct me if I'm wrong somewhere! :)

ALSO! If you enjoy other parts of DTD such as foreplay etc that's great!! Foreplay raises sexual hormones and can aid with conceiving too! Since the hormones are "baby-making" friendly :) maybe I'm wrong on this too and atomic can give you more insight, but I say foreplay away! :p

Lol... thx nann for ur thankful reply tht was sweet ... makes me feel more positive towards my àttempt ...

I had tons of EWCM without foreplay. I think I got to wearing a pad around ovulation because I had so much. It was nice to not have to use preseed.
It was surprising to me how much of a difference my diet made with my EWCM and my overall feeling of well being. I have never felt healthier than when I was on the HE diet. I was fatter than ever before, but I felt great!!

No it won't affect your blue sway negatively, it's just one little thing that may help a bit. :) If you can, that's great, if not, don't even worry about it.

A lot of us boy moms have gotten boys without female orgasm. :)

No, that is exactly right, if you enjoy the act then that will do virtually all the good stuff that female O is supposed to do. :) Thanks for great answer.
