Hi everyone
I'm new here and just wanted to ask your opinion on when is best and how often you should dtd for a boy sway?
I've been reading up and read some great posts but there appears to be a lot of contradictory information.
My plan - as it stands! - will be dtd every other day....I am not sure if this is the best way forward?
If you've had success, what worked for you? If you're actively trying for a boy sway, what's your plan?
Thank youx

For my sway I had planned on doing O-4,O-2, and O but I ovulated later than I thought I would so I ended up doing O-5, O-1, and O. Plus I was having DH release every 2 days during AF. It obviously worked because I am having a boy
When I had DD1 she was a 2 or 3 day cut off but my diet was so drastically different with her then it was when I conceived this baby, DD2 was a suprise so I think she may have happened right on O but my diet was the same as with DD1. So when I started to sway for a boy I knew I wanted to do things completely different so I did the HE diet hard core, I hit the gym and lifted weights 2-3 times a week (I was doing this part for 6 months prior) so I think all those changes helped me conceive a boy. I think DTD every other day is a good plan, I would also make sure to DTD the day you get a +OPK if you are using them and keep DTD until your OPK goes negative. Hope this helps

Thanks both, that's great!
I wish the boy diet wasn't so high in calories - I am still a stone heavier that I was pre-baby (I had a little girl in January)and am not going to get chance to lose it now, if I do conceive that is!

Can you cut out the carbs and keep it very high protein on a boy diet? My diet is extremely carb/dairy heavy...I've always had a low BMI - until I had my dd, now I'm probably upper end of the normal range
I eat very late in the evening so maybe I'll try and cram everything into the day! x

I wouldn't cut out the carbs, you have to eat some carbs with your protein. I just did healthier carbs, such as instead of having baked potato all the time with dinner I did sweet potato, or brown rice. If I had pasta for dinner I made sure to put turkey burger or chicken in the sauce and I used whole wheat pasta I think it was by barilla because it had protein in it. I did organic ezikiel bread instead of regular wheat or white and I also did wheat wraps for lunch with tuna and avocado. You just had to find the healthier carbs and with my snacks I mostly did raw veggies and fruits/dried fruits and nuts and then at night sometimes I would have the special K protein plus cereal with a banana in it or I would do dark chocolate with almonds.

The info on this site should hold together and not contradict itself, although we may not mesh with the advice given on other sites.
I think DTD every other day is a great strategy for blue!
I got 3 of 4 boys having intercourse every other or every two days and my first boy was when we were 21 years old and superhuman - i suspect my husband was taking care of business on his own LOL. 3 were cutoff timing and the other I'm not sure of.!!!
