    Ok. What exactly makes you say not to do abstain? If i know the reason i can judge by the time we ttc (cause maybe he's not on it anymore by september) which way works best for us.

    Because blood pressure medication harms sperm to such an extent that adding abstain may be too much and also may raise risks of birth defects.

    What if a man (my partner, lol) is 41 who smokes and drinks everyday and has still conceived 6 healthy sons very easily. Could that mean he just happens to have good quality sperm or a high count or has he just been lucky? I was thinking abstain would be the way to go because FR might be too hard to achieve with 3 boys who are great at getting in the way of our sex lives. Arent men with high sperm counts supposed to release more often to lower their count since it repleneshes more quickly?
    Not sure what to do on this one

    I might actually be over my deep yearning for a and it's an exciting feeling

    Sperm get unhealthier due to age and it has nothing to do with past history, it's a function of how sperm are formed - they are copies of copies of copies and tiny errors creep in slowly over the course of time. I would not ever recommend abstain to a 41 year old and esp. not a smoker.

    What I would do instead, is consider reg. release + one attempt, have him release every 2-4 days and then have one attempt at pos OPK OR you could do a hurry up FR along with that - so reg. release every 2-4 days, and then on day of planned attempt, have him release once, dump it, then DTD again as soon as he's able using only the second batch for insemination.

    My hubby is 45, I've never considered how long we would go between and what effect it could have. There is so much more than I realised to this!

    some believe I am overly cautious, but I just want you guys to know my concerns and the reasons that I have them, and then the decisions are yours to make, if you think the results are worth the risk. But as of Oct. 3 2013 abstain only got 58% success for pink anyway and to my way of thinking, I would not take the chance for something that isn't getting "home-run" type results anyway.

    I believe it sways pink as well. Remember, even if you've gotten boys with something before, it doesn't mean it doesn't sway pink for you. Going from 80% likely to TTC a boy, to 70% likely to TTC a boy, is still a strong pink sway but will still yield an awful lot of little dudes.

    My husband will be 39 next week but I'm 27 I get pregnant quickly, and now I'm thinking if I didn't get pregnant this month. We can't do abstaining but would have to do frequency? I think abstaining would be better but now I'm unsure
