    Is the abstaining for 14 days because that lowers sperm count?

    Yes, it is suppose to lower sperm count. I think that this is better than releasing everyday because the remaining sperm are going to be higher in concentration X sperm because in theory they can outlive the Y sperm.

    Atomic as my DH is over 35 and also runs 30+ miles a wk so you think it is neccessary for him to take licorice root? Wouldnt want to lower his testostorone and sperm count to much. Do you think frequent bd is the best way to go? Thanks
    I am so glad you posted that. My DH doesn't believe in anything he didn't hear in medical school which gets to be a little irritating. I keep thinking "Well, maybe they didn't teach you that in medical school because they were too busy teaching you about more important things about pregnancy like embryonic development and how to deliver a baby alive." Sorry but I am sure you can relate What supplements has your husband agreed to take? I asked mine to take Cal/Mg and cranberry and I got the "I can take all the supplements you want but I am going to just pee them out".

    Wanting pink i sure can relate to you! I havent asked him to take anything this time and i dont plan to. Infact he doesnt even know i plan to sway again this time ha ha. I swayed girl when i conceived my daughter a few yrs ago and that was when i got the negative responses from him. He had heard about the shettles timing method and thought that was worth a go - suppose that was cause of the frequent bd ha ha. Men!!

    Like Atomic has said i think its really not as important for DH so i wouldnt get to concerned. My hubby has recently taken up running. Has been running 30+ miles a wk so i am going to continue encouraging him ha ha. I also plan on feeding him fake sugars and less meat. So he will be swaying without even knowing he he.

    So has your hubby agreed to take cal/mag and cranberry supps? How about licorice root? Atomic recommends licorice root as being the 'best' supplement for DH to take.




    brand new. Successful girl sway. Thankyou so very much Atomic for all your wonderful advice.

    My husband would never take licorice root... he doesn't believe in "lotions and potions". What did you do last time to sway for a girl? Did you have boys first or was it your first pregnancy? Did you DH take licorice root last time?

    I had a son first and then i swayed for my daughter. Looking back i can see why i conceived a son first. Had just got married and it was xmas so was eating and drinking lots, snacking much more than i usually do. We BD through ovulation, i was swimming and going to the gym 2-3 times a wk. I also took multi vitamins with cod liver oil. I swayed for my daughter although i really feel that my lifestyle is more girl friendly anyway. I did frequent bd and a cut off, lime douche 1 hr before bd, took cranberry, calcuim and magnesium and Acidophilus. I increased cal and mag intake and reduced sodium, although i didnt really follow a proper girl diet as back then when i swayed diet wasnt known as being so important. Hubby didnt do anything apart from taking part in the frequent bd. Goodluck xx

    Thanks!! I had two boys and I consider what I did pretty stereotypical boy sway even though I didn't know it at the time. Hoping this girl sway works for me. Thanks for the input!!

    No, I would absolutely not give him licorice root. I do think frequent BD is safest for those over 35, when we were TTC I just wanted the freshest sperm I could get to fertilize my elderly eggs and then after I was already pg there was a study done that showed abstinence had a higher rate of birth defects so I felt good about that. (It's not much higher though!)

    Yes. For reasons we do not know, lower sperm count always sways pink even though men still have 50-50 X and Y sperm.

    Well, that was Shettles' theory and it has since been debunked. Men make 50-50 X and Y sperm and they both are about the same size and live the same amount of time. We don't honestly know why lower sperm count seems to sway pink, only that it does!!
