Newbie TTC Girl ...need your opinion please!

[wantagirly23]

I am new to gender swaying and I have done a lot of research on this board as well as the internet on how to sway for a girl. We are getting ready to try for baby# 2 in about 3-4 months. I have questions and need opinions please! I am 26 and dh his 27. We have one son. With him we were dtd every other day up unti lthe day before O. We didn't actually dtd on O. I had a lot of EWCM and in general I do eat a lot of salty foods....so I guess its no wonder I had a boy. Anyways for baby#2 attempt this is my plan......

Have dh abstain for 14 days and then as soon as I get a positive opk ...have him take a very hot shower...then dtd. I typically ovulate 2 days after my first positive opk so this will make for a 1.5 or 2 day cut off. I also plan to drink lots of cranberry juice and will take calcium and magnesium supplements. We can afford to try for maybe 3 months but don't want it to take much longer since there is a very specific time frame in which I need to get prego (due to the nature of dh job).

My questions are....do you think this all sounds like a good enough sway? Do you think a 2 day cut off is too close to boy territory even though I am doing the abstain? I know there are other things I can do to sway like douching but I am afraid that it will prevent me from getting pregnant. Should I maybe just use a little bit of represh since I always get so much EWCM? If so...how do I use it and when? Or should I use sylk?

Sorry for all the questions!!!! I appreciate any input and for you taking the time to read this!!!

Hi and welcome!!

Timing does not sway and you can read why here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...le-timing.html Most of us on this board have 2,3,4 timing opposites or even more!!!

BD every other day is ideal frequency for TTC a boy. Abstain sways pink and that is true regardless of if you DTD on O day or not. Here are a few articles about frequency.

I always advise people to BD at pos OPK because it's the easiest and yields high rates of conception I conceived my DD the day before O and 3 of 4 of my boys with longer cutoffs (not sure about the other boy!)

Before you decide what you want to do about cal-mag, please read the case against cal-mag swaying. We've been having equal if not better success using no cal-mag, even some of us who had failed sways using cal-mag have gotten our desired gender without cal-mag. Here's a three-part essay (links in the first one to the second two) and the discussions after the essays are also very informative. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...roversial.html

Since you have a lot of EWCM I would suggest antihistamine to dry it up. I NEVER suggest douching. RepHresh is good but if you're in a hurry to conceive, I'd skip it.
