How often should husband release month of TTC a boy?

[GerryO]

Hi Ladies,

I'm a bit confused on this issue, is it frequent release or abstain for TTC a boy? We're hoping to try next month so want to be a bit clearer on this matter.

Thanks

It's neither, those are both pink sway tactics.

Have DH release every 2-4 days for as long in advance before your sway as is feasible. This produces max. numbers of nice healthy sperm.

Every 2nd or 3rd day - DTD normally letting DH release inside you, then when you get your +opk go for gold, try for 3 times in your fertile window.

Even if we don't attempt till a few months time is it still better for DH to release every 2-4days?

Yes, because sperm take 72 days to form and DTD every 2-4 days is ideal for sperm health.

Great...my husband wants to do it every day at the moment. I've got to get him to slow down! Only 1 week til our attempt and he's been releasing daily over the past 3 days!

sorry i was abit confused does DH release without a condom in the month of attempt every 2-4 days? can we not get pregnant like that though before our 3 attempts??

Yes...you CAN get pregnant like that The schedule isn't about timing for conception, but having LOTS of swimmers in there to meet the egg. He doesn't need to wear a condom. Be careful with his frequent release, though, you could be headed into girl territory.

No condom. Think of it this way - You regularly put sperm inside your uterus and felopian tubes so there is always sperm just waiting for the egg to pop out, you get your + opk and put a ton more sperm in there so there is a maximum amount when the egg is released and that is what we rely on to sway boy.
