Abstinence question

[Adia]

So I got a positive OPK this AM and was planning on DTD tonight for our boy sway and we were planning a 2 day abstinence. However, my husband just informed me that he released himself last night...UGH! What do I do now? That would make it a 1 day abstinence. I have been swaying my heart out for the past 3 months and drinking all kinds of awful drinks for the past 2 weeks and I am so done! I don't want to try next month due to timing issues with the due date, so if we pass this month, we would have to take 2 months off. But age is a factor as I am 36 and DH is 39 so I don't want to wait too long...Opinions please? Anyone get a boy with 1 day abstinence?

What awful drinks are you drinking?
I drank coconut water (yuck!) and pineapple juice every day AF-Ovulation. I hate coconut water but when I mixed it with pineapple juice it wasn't so bad.

Oh good catch Adia - are you doing the baking soda drinks and stuff?? We don't use those much around here.

For me the absolute worst is the V8 with Brewers yeast YIKES I need a straw to get it down fast

Brewers with pineapple is fine

YOu don't have to do it that way if it's terrible for you - you can always mix and match!

Drinks I tortured myself with the past 2 weeks: COT, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (this was not too bad). I also did baking soda finger for the past week. I did try BSD but could NOT tolerate that at all and quickly stopped. Am I on the wrong track here?

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh yes most of those we don't use any more.

COT and BSD are probably not safe (and don't work anyway)

The ACV may actually sway pink by lowering blood sugar and we have stopped using that as well in favor of water with lemon juice in it (the juice of one lemon a day)

Green tea does sway blue but be sure you are taking 2000 mcg folic or folate a day because it can block folic absorption.

We found that BSF lowered odds of conception by a whole lot and it is very likely that pH theories don't work anyway. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ph-pickle.html We are getting good results with Preseed.

Oh wow, good to know! There is so much conflicting info out there. I will definitely take your advice into consideration if/when we attempt our sway. I could definitely do without the stress and nastiness of drinking all those drinks!
