Why do some think only one attempt is best for TTC girl? I feel like most people who are actively TTC are doing more than one attempt in their fertile window and 50% of the population are still getting girls.. why is it that we *might* be seeing better results with only one attempt rather than multiple? (I read that somewhere from Atomic)
Now I'm trying to decided if I should just do 1 attempt again, even though I really want this month to be the month!
(And I know that Timing and amount of attempts are different.. but they are all similar is ways, right?)
Results 1 to 10 of 38

one attempt might sway most simply because there are less swimmers in there in total and we know that low sperm count sways pink
you don't know how many pregnancies are from those who are actively TTC and how many are NTNP or surprises, or what else people are doing in general that might influence it

So do we think in general more attempts equals higher likelihood of boy regardless of FR? I know with my first 2 DS's I had a good 5-6 attempts all the the fertile window. I also wasn't doing a diet or anything else that might sway pink

I did abstain for about a month and then very day for three days with a two or three day cut off

I do think that lots of attempts sways boy, I had two boys by bd'ing lots and lots. I've heard that planned babies are more likely to be boys, while accidents are more likely to be girls. I've not seen any studies or evidence that backs that up, but going by friends there seems to be something to it.

With my first we DTD every day for an entire month before and right through O. That would also lower sperm count as it has no real time to replenish.

Both of my boys were OHWs the night before ov with roughly a 7 day abstain, hence my reluctance to go down that road again! However, FR doesn't work for us so we're going with the flow then will DTD from OPK+ right through.

I have 2 daughters, both from one BD each, one on O day, one 4 days before O (not swaying). Both my boys were from multiple BDs in the fertile window.
Multiple attempts makes more sperm present in the reproductive tract, and more sperm = more boys.2004

When I think of friends with kids it seems to fit... but again, so many factors unseen (when they actually O'd, if what they say is true etc.) But I'm so reluctant to do multiple attempts when both my boys were done that way. We're thinking maybe 1 attempt 3-4 days before O, then one at + OPK.. or just one at +opk. But, I hate to do that again as last month one attempt didn't work..
