    It does not matter how old YOU are. This is about your husband's age and the amount of times his cells have divided since he was born.

    You don't have to do frequency, necessarily. I don't think any of the frequency patterns have gotten good enough results to justify the trouble they cause and I would LOVE it if everyone dropped them (and you can take my word on this - I INVENTED FREQUENCY! It doesn't work, ladies. It was my idea, it sucks, didn't work, time to move on, y'all.)

    Well I am no pregnant and we DTD on cd 12 in the morning, and I forgot we DTD on cd 10 but had to stop, I wasn't planning on becoming pregnant this month. But DH said he "did this thing" right after we stopped. So now I feel like I have messed up, by not abstaining for 7 days. I guess only time will tell. I ovulared on cd 14

    Abstain isn't getting great results anyway. One attempt is getting much better results.

    Woops meant I AM pregnant. We DTD cd 10 also but stopped, and I thought DH didn't "do his thing" but he said he did, now I am worried that having sex on cd 10 an then we did it cd 12 in the morning, with a 2.5 day cut off, is more boy zone. We usually don't have sex much with 3 kiddos running around. Hoping this is our girl, this is our last chance to give my DD a sister. I ovulated CD 14

    Dh has a sister w downs. Mother was young in 20s, father in his 40s. Dh is 38, healthy but no abstain for us(doing j&d). Thanks for bumping this info because I see a lot of swayers on here doing abstain.

    Hope someone can dumb this down for me because the abstaining thing confuses the heck out of me! So is abstaining not recommended now even if dh is under 35? When we make our attempt on Wednesday, that'll put us at an 11 day abstain, which I thought was good. Dh is also taking OLE and LR. Does this mean we can have protected sex up until our attempt and it won't make sperm count higher?

    Anyone whose husband may have crap sperm health or quality for ANY reason should not do abstain (and never should, that is not new at all)

    If your husband is under 35 an abstain is fine. We honestly do not have the data to know if abstain is helping or hurting a sway, because the group of couples who do abstain (and perhaps more importantly, who get pregnant doing abstain) are typically younger and get pregnant more easily and it is not a random sampling to compare. It may be that higher fertility sways blue and abstain does help some. But I can tell you, it's not helping much simply because if it were, it would not be LOWER than the overall stats of the site. To me, that indicates neutral. IT's still better than 50-50, not seemingly swaying blue, but if it were really bringing the heat it would be BETTER than the overall stats of the site.

    WE don't even KNOW that higher sperm count sways blue. It was a theory, as all these things are theories, and I hate to see you guys getting so hung up pursuing totally unproven theories that you end up missing the larger trends - namely that one attempt is swaying strongly pink. A lot of the frequency stuff was traditionally done with one attempt, so if it's been one attempt all along, it is entirely possible that it was never sperm count or frequency (or at least not my much) and that it may be better to up odds of conception with one attempt by dropping frequency.

    And just to reiterate that which I posted earlier in the thread, the risks of abstain even for a guy in his 40's-50's is probably very slim. But WHY should we take the chance for something that firstly is not any kind of guarantee because swaying is NEVER a guarantee, and secondly is not getting home run type of results anyway?? I only take risks on things that WORK. Not things that don't.
