Before I start I won't be using this method just curious to know why I've read, and personally know so many mums that got girls with sex everyday through ovulation?!
I don't get it wouldn't it sway blue and raise testosterone? My good friend actually just found out she's having a girl and personally told me all the details about having sex everyday! Just wondering why this could sway girl is there any logic? X
I have an explanation here in this thread, not the first post but a few down, the reasons why it could possibly sway, and also the reasons why I do not want ANYONE pink or blue using daily BD thru O as a sway tactic. In the real world, the vast majority of the time it does not work for people. https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...nk-lately.html
Oh maybe that doesn't have that much explanation about why it might work (it DOES have why not to do it, though!!!) but the reasoning is because most of the releases that hubby does are early in the cycle and immediately die off and by the time the egg shows up, the guy is shooting nothing but dust.
I cannot stress strongly enough how bad an idea it is though. Anyone reading this who thinks "hmm sounds like a plan" please do NOT proceed without reading my full diatribe about why it's a terrible idea as laid forth in this thread https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...nk-lately.html
Thanks atomic! Again makes loads of sense! I wouldn't try it anyway, not only because it's a poor tactic but I don't have the energy! :D
:agree: exactly and that is just what happens to the majority of couples who try it. Someone gets sick, hubby works late, kid has a bad dream, mother in law comes to town...and then the daily BD ends up being every other day and then they end up with a boy doing a boy friendly pattern plus 3 attempts in the fertile window.
When I got pregnant with DS1, we had been DTD every day for a week up until ovulation! Combining that with a very blue friendly diet, it's no wonder I had a boy. ;) But yes I have noticed quite a few girl moms on here say they BD every day when they got a girl. I think with some of us naturally being so blue friendly, it's not a risk worth taking.
My DS2 was the result of sex everyday through ovulation :) Had a fairly blue lifestyle with him as well (though not nearly as much as with DS1). I suspect DH has a pretty good sperm count though bc with my recent m/c, we did 1 attempt after he released on his own 14 hours before attempt.

:agree: and a lot of them BD not just for a week before O (during which at least part of that time the fertile window would be open) but starting even as far back as right after or during AF as well. So they would ahve already had like 10 or more BD before the fertile window even opened up.Quote:

Atomic - but that's kind of a weird thing with my DH... He actually doesn't have a real high libido... When we got pregnant this past time after he released 14 hours before attempt, he did struggle to "complete the transaction" ;-) Even once daily on a regular basis would be way too much for him!! And he's hypothyroid, which in theory should mean he has a lower sperm count (from what I've read).... So I really don't get it!! I wish I could get him to do a sperm analysis so we'd know if he has a really high count but I haven't even mentioned it b/c I'm pretty sure he wouldn't go for it.Quote:

I hope so, Atomic. But, he was the same way when we conceived our boys, and it just seems that even though he doesn't have a high libido/can't do frequent release, he still seems to make a lot of sperm & is very fertile! :) Trying to get him to do more jogging & exercise bike over this next month before we try again.
Good luck!
