age of DH and abstaining?

[txmomof3beautifulboys]

My DH is 42...is abstaining 5-7 days not good?

Atomic doesn't recommend it after 35 xx

well crap...LoL SO...since that's not a good idea...what's my best option for DTD?

[aidansmum]

Not advisable BUT that's what we did, but my DH is 46 (!!), we abstained for 6 days but DH was on folic acid to improve quality of sperm for 2 months before trying. There's always a risk and definitely not a good idea, just thought I should mention it worked for us, we are having a baby girl.

Thanks all. DH is not on board with this, so telling him "oh we have to do it now and now and now..." well that's just not going to work. That is the reason I asked about abstaining....I feel like that is how it will end up happening. We'll have not done it for a week or so and then he'll be ready :/ LOL, Men!

I honestly am not sure he'll want to DTD 4 days in a row. I'm not sure what route to take now, though. We might have sex once a week, if I'm lucky. :/

Well...he doesn't really "help" himself ... and since he is not on board with this (at all), I'm not sure I can convince him to do this for me without him completely refusing. He feels like this is "dumb." So, therein lies my issue. I might can get him to DTD two days in a row...I don't know how that would factor in to the sway, but that might be all I can get out of him

Me, too, ladies, we are doing our first attempt the first week of May.

Can he be bribed into doing what you want? Just saw your in Texas. Yay! I am too.

Yep!! Way down South! The bribery part made me laugh I'm not sure that would work either. I guess what I need to find out is...since he's not willing to help...what would be my best "DTD" option. Like I said, I can probably get two DTD days out of him, but I don't know if that is boy territory or girl territory and since this is my last shot, I don't want to mess up.
