Quick question

[PinkDaisy]

I'm Dtd every 4 days. I know I've read it's ok to Dtd in between protected, but what about Dtd and dh releasing outside? Is that ok?

[covered in blue]

Sounds fine to me as long as he has good control.

So it's the actual semen that affects things? Sorry tmi, not the actual deed?

DH can release outside. DTD every 4 days ensured that you're only having one attempt in your fertile window, it has nothing to do with frequency--FR vs abstain. So he can release in or out of you in any pattern he chooses. Just use protection so you're only having one attempt every 4 days.

Yes, it's fine but if you're doing the every 4 day method to up odds of conception, having DH release a bunch of times between rounds is not going to help with that.

WE honestly don't know, but we believe there is some sort of communication going on between sperm (maybe more X than Y are "waking up" to fertilize the egg) and/or between the sperm and the Fallopian tubes that is altering gender ratio somehow. NOne of us every expected the number of attempts to be important but it is sure proving to be.

Ok thank u. We usually stick to the every 4 day and then at positive opk if I have one. But dh decided he needed a release in between the 4 days. Hope that's ok, tomorrow will be that 4th again and still praying on getting a positive opk.

as long as it's outside and not inside, it's fine
