Need some info for dh and myself 39 years old

[Trishy74]

When I found this site I asked a question as far as FR for DH and Atomic had given me a suggestion because our age puts us at greater risk for having a hard time to conceive and my husband is a kidney transplant recipient. According to Atomic, she told me to have DH FR every 4 to 5 days through my cycle. However, I recently found out DH already does FR on a pretty much daily basis once per day. I knew he did it often but I didnt realize how much. Lol. So knowing this..that he does that so frequent, and our age, can anyone tell me if this is a bad thing that he does this so frequent? At our age, will it affect our fertilit? And if so, does it impact it greatly or not so much. I realy havent started trying to get preggo yet. I think i caught the taile end of my ovulation last month. However, this month i plan on taking ovulation kit. Also, i really want to get preggo this month so how can i increase my chances without making it a boy sway? Also, is it ok to do a compressed FR if I tell him not to do FR ona regular basis. I only ask all of these questions bc of our age. Thanks so much!

My DH sounds like yours... I just told home to keep it up, not skipping any days (he told me that wouldn't be a problem), and then just DTD in my fertile window. We got pregnant the first month and had a chemical, and then got pregnant the second month, and I am almost 12 weeks. I don't think it will necessarily impact your fertility, but everyone is different. Because of our ages (36&37) I wanted to get pregnant quickly, so I skipped rephresh, douching and all of that. We used Sylk because LE made me dry as a desert and it helps lower their count a little more.

Good luck!

I thought older age automatically swayed girl. Because of the sperm count?

Thanks for the info. Good luck with your pregnancy and hope you are feeling well and you get the gender you want. I think it's too early in your pregnancy to know the gender, correct?

Umm, not really sure about this b/c my husband at the time when we conceived my son, we were both 36. So needless to say, I'm not too sure and we did have a fertility problem (myself being on a medication which caused my body to think it was pregnant..strange!). The month I stopped my medication, we got pregnant right away when I got a positive OPK. So I wish I could tell you age sways girl but after conceiving my son, I'm not really sure.
