    i think from what i read on here, the aim is increasing (for boy) or decreasing (for girl) dh's sperm count. and trying to not let faster y sperm wait too long for egg (for boy), verse allowing slower x sperm to hang out and stay a while to wait for egg (for girl).

    no expert here.

    What I understand x and y sperm are the same size and has the same speed.Only Shattles said different but he was wrong.

    I had DH abstain for 3 1/2 to 4 days. I think this method is up for debate on the need for it, but I went for it anyway. 3-5 days for ttc boy I think is ideal w/ 4 being the best.

    You see IDK...lot's of advice are different here the on IG...atomic even says don't do tbm and I don't see anything wrong with tbm .So for the cutoff I think we will do 3 days but not sure yet...guess I need to learn more about it .

    Does anybody know about bd'ing leading up to O? I was thinking about dtd every 3-4 days to keep sperm count good and then dtd the night of the positive opk. But now I can't find where I thought every 3-4 days was a good idea so it's possible I'm making that up. Sooooooo much info, I swear sometimes I think I'm going in circles!
