This is great! I will start writing mine down next month if I don't end up with a BFP this month (fingers crossd!) Can't wait to hear what you find out but have a feeling it will take some time to get enough people to properly track and get their bfp's! Good luck and thanks for doing this!

I agree! I think abstinance is better for the most part, as long as you can figure it out ;)

Still think 69.2% is a great percentage when you are talking about swaying!! :0)

re: More on frequent BD that avoids ovulation

interesting...I always thought that the more days of bd you have before your cut off the better...I was going to bd from cd 7 until my cut off which might be anywhere from cd 12-cd16.

When people have frequent BD, you never know sure which BD time produced the sperm that "won." So yes, they could have gotten pregnant from 4 or 5 days prior to ovulation - and I agree that 5 day cut-offs favor boys. However, my guess is that the "freshest" sperm are more likely to win during frequent BD, and that egg is probably fertilized by a sperm from one of the more recent BD times. It's pretty difficult to get pregnant from a 4 or 5 day cut-off (though it is certainly possible to do so). But that's just a guess - there is no way to know for sure.

Some people who do frequent BD BD 2x a day some of the time, but with most of the charts I looked at, it was just once a day, every day or every other day. Frequent BD is just 50/50, though. My feeling is that it is wisest to limit frequent BD to within the 3-4 days prior to ovulation or to use protection if BD 5+ days before ovulation.

Abstaining for 7+ days does lower sperm count and favors girls. People typically abstain for a long time before O+12, but you can also abstain before a cut-off too.

Chocolatelover — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:49:24 GMT

These may stupid questions but ... when you say "4 BD times between 5 days prior to ovulation through the day after.." does this mean that they could have gotten pregnant 4 days or even 5 days prior ovulation? I thought I read that can sway for a boy.

Or do you think they were maybe BD 2x a day 2-3 days before ovulation? And all of that BD is to help lower sperm count, right? I

also read about abstinence to lower sperm count (like 2 weeks). Is that only if you are doing O + 12? Thanks for answering all my questions. I'm still trying to understand.
