Does freshest sperm always win out over older sperm for timing?

[nicnee1976]

The way I understand timing, is that the further away from o you are, the less fertile and acidic the CM is which is supposed to sway girl, and closer to o the more fertile and alkaline the CM is, which is supposed to sway boy. I don't believe it has much to do with the differences between speed and longevity of X and Y sperm.

I'm sure many girls are conceived close to o, as many of my girl mummy friends insist. Same for boys and a longer cut off. I had a 2 and a half day cut off and although I do not know what this baby is yet, my instincts say boy.

My belief is that those mums who have many boys have a higher than normal testosterone, and all girl mummies the opposite. I don't know if this is true at all, but I am sure it is a very important factor.

Flava, when I clicked on the "studies" they were either broken links or patent applications and NOT studies at all. So they were just writeups by people who were trying to get patents to sell some product and not any kind of blind, scientific study.

If this pH stuff worked in any reliable way, it would have been packaged and sold to us by now and we would all know a dozen people who had used "BoyJelly" and "GirlyGoo" to TTC.

Would have been nice to know this back in the days!
What "they" don't know that this links are not real studies?? awesome...

About the timing issue I just want it close to O so I do get pregnant because I think if I do it to early well it's early and I don't have a chance for a bfp. Im also 36 here so u know...

Me too! We will probably do the SMEP/Deanna's plan for timing and frequency.

What is SMEP/Deanna's plan?

What is SMEP/Deanna's plan?

SMEP (sperm meets egg plan):

DTD every other day until you get a positive OPK
when you get a positive OPK, DTD that day and also every day for the next 2 days, have one days break, then DTD again once more

Thank you! Yes, we have been ttc for a while now and are not going to do a one-shot try for a boy....and I really want to get pg soon. I think I have made my body boy-friendly enough to dtd lots and still (hopefully) get a boy. If not, oh well, we'll take anything healthy at this point. Atomic actually suggested SMEP to me after my 2nd m/c, and it is pretty much what we did to get pg the 1st two times anyway.

I agree with you on how timing could potentially sway BUT the 'official' story with timing straight from Dr. Shettles, has to do with the speed and longetivity of the sperm.

Lola, I read somewhere (probably on IG, but can't remember) that Deanna's plan sways pink. Maybe bcos of frequent BDing?
