The longer it takes you to get pg, the more weight you gain from doing the diet so long though.

I also completely agree with this. Unlike with the pink swayers, I think it's preferable for the majority of blue swayers to get pg within a month or two (because you're trying to increase fertility rather than decrease it) with the added advantage that it keeps weight gain to a minimum. Plus, like I said above, if you DTD more often you're also increasing pH, even if the idea that more sperm = boys is not the case (I think it IS the case, but even if is isn't, DTD still will raise pH.)

Lola, thanks as ever for wonderful answers that are SO helpful to me.

I would def. go for it. I know it's hard though. But remember, the pink swayers have to DTD 7-10 times in a row (or more) before they can count on lower sperm count from frequent release. DTD 2 days in a row, after a 3-4 day abstinence will not sway pink!!!
