    I dunno?? I never thought about it. I think because I always got up and peed after. It took me three months to conceive both of my boys and I had to lay with my hips in the air. I never tracked ovulation then? I ovulate normally now, so I am guessing I ovulated normally then???

    You ALWAYS got up immediately EVERY time you had sex, daily, for years? Never once fell asleep after sex? Even so you should have gotten pregnant then. If you were gettting regular AFs you were most likely Oing regularly. Were either you or DH super thin/fat/exercising a lot/on meds/very unhealthy during college?

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Gender isn't genetic in that way (while there are some genetic components involved such as height and muscle mass, it is NOT that anyone is making more X or more Y!) and NO it does not affect you.

    Your body has NO CLUE about generations or what your SIL did or didn't have. Your body knows the food going down your throat, your overall fertility and stress levels, etc.

    As a general rule I agree with this but I have to say I've been seeing enough people not getting pg doing immediate J and D even after dropping all other sway tactics, I am starting to wonder if this may not be the case for some people.

    I was super thin, but had regular periods…I was on migraine meds. But yes, I did get up every time after J&D. When I first started having sex it stung really bad if he would release inside of me so I would get up and rinse myself at the beginning of the relationship, after about a year it stopped. I still got up and peed because my friend told me that is how you avoid a UTI. And they SUCK so I didn't want one. I also can't stand t have his "juices" on me. Unless I am trying to get pregnant, I still to this day get up and pee and wipe myself well after BD.

    SO GLAD to hear this. I didn't think it could, but my husbands side of the family swears I can't have a girl because my SIL already had the only one for our generation. Fingers crossed I prove them wrong!!

    I am still surprised but if you were that religious about it, I guess it must have worked! So no J&D for you.

    LMK if you want a more thorough explanation. This is one of my personal pet peeves because people told me a bunch of similar nonsense too. "we don't make girls in our family" Um, yes, yes you do.

    I think I will do laying for 5 minutes after and see if it works. I am supposed to start today, still waiting for AF to start supplements, tested to make sure and BFN. So, she should arrive today and I will start the supplements and continue diet and exercise.
