Need to abstain for 4 days?
I keep seeing women say they abstained for 4 days before multiple attempts. Is this necessary? I planned on doing it but O'd early so it was only 2.5 days.
Do people abstain to build up sperm to increase chances of getting pregnant or does it help chances for a boy? Of course I'm in the 2ww so second guessing everything. Thanks

2-4 days is fine. You did it just right.
The point is to abstain just long enough to allow some sperm to build up but not so long as to have the sperm begin to get old and icky. Higher sperm count + higher sperm health = more boys.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

I did the same thing with some of my boys too Tulip - we'd go a couple days, then have two attempts in a row, then skip three days, then another couple attempts - it was never the super regular every 2 days pattern.
