How do cut offs work and what are we aiming for?
i think from what i read on here, the aim is increasing (for boy) or decreasing (for girl) dh's sperm count. and trying to not let faster y sperm wait too long for egg (for boy), verse allowing slower x sperm to hang out and stay a while to wait for egg (for girl).
no expert here.
What I understand x and y sperm are the same size and has the same speed.Only Shattles said different but he was wrong.
So how many days before O should we abstain?

if 4 is the best (i read that too), why doesnt everyone try 4? whats the debate?Quote:

You see IDK...:worry:lot's of advice are different here the on IG...atomic even says don't do tbm and I don't see anything wrong with tbm .So for the cutoff I think we will do 3 days but not sure yet...guess I need to learn more about it .Quote:

But now I can't find where I thought every 3-4 days was a good idea so it's possible I'm making that up. Sooooooo much info, I swear sometimes I think I'm going in circles!
