TTC BOY! Need Atomic help regarding HE diet

[yoyo]

DB I have your questionnaire and it will really help a lot for me to get you your plan.

Most of us have 2-3-4 or more Shettles opposites so it is easy for us to give that up. Timing doesn't sway, it's been totally debunked and you can read about it here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html

But, if you really want to stick with Shettles, that is ok. Just have your husband release on his own or with you, with a condom, every 2-4 days starting as far in advance of your sway as is possible. Then, you will be taking OPK (unless you have a super regular cycle) and then you'd have three attempts, one at positive OPK (or day before expected O Day), again the next morning (O Day) and then again the following night (night of O Day.) These are all within Shettles window for blue and allows you to do timing but still have 3 attempts.

DO NOT have just one attempt for a boy!!

What do you mean by 'as far in advance as possible'? Do you just mean every 2-4 days after AF is done? Or should he releasing following this pattern during AF?

[atomic sagebrush]

I mean he needs to be "cleaning the pipes" regularly starting literally as far in advance as possible. Months. Years. Decades (ok maybe that is stretching it a little). If at all possible he should NOT wait till the month of your planned attempt, he should certainly not wait till after AF in the month you plan to attempt, he should be aiming to do this level of release all along.

Sperm take a minimum of 72 days to form and by having him do this regular release, his body will be making nice amounts of healthy sperm and ejaculating any unhealthy, aging sperm regularly.

It is ok if he has a bad day or week now and then, misses a release, whatever, you're just aiming for an overall trend.

Oh pants. .. so that's not been happening! Not sure how I managed to over look this issue. I was under (wrong ) impression the 2-4 release could start after AF.... is this a big factor?

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't have the information to be able to know that for sure. Has he not been releasing at all???

Oh crap we've been slacking off in the tww. Dh has been flat out & on average in the tww we've probably only been bding/releasing twice a week.

It's been very variable, his busy job means bd can be anywhere from x3 a week to every 2 weeks! Usually more like once a week, was due to try to start from tomorrow. .. guess I'll have to postpone and hope the 2-4 day pattern will be ok for a month. Would it better to go for every 2 days? Thanks

Twice a week is still really every 4 days-ish, no worries

Don't postpone, this is just one little thing. I would just do what you can from here on in.

So BDing on positive opk night(two attempts) after 6 days of cut-off then on O day night(two shots) again the next morning after getting negative Opk. I hope we didn't messed up with timing.

- All attempts with pre-seed
- 6 day cut-off because of late ovulation around on CD22

[atomic sagebrush]

Next time (if there is a next time) I'd not let him go 6 days without a release.

If it was really the day after O day the egg was either dead or fertilized by then and it didn't count. But still good attempts!
