BD'ing every other day for conceiving a girl?

I'm trying to figure out what to do this month. I decided against using preseed this cycle even though I had already ordered it. If this month doesn't result in a bfp, I'll be using it next time. How bad is it if you bd every other day, but make sure it's still less than 48 hours? Like say we dtd late at night.. we would bd 2 nights later, but do it earlier in the evening.

What do you think?

That's the timing I had when I conceived my Ds and anyway it's a BOY timing method, I would bd every day instead of have abstinance for at least 7 days

hth!

Yup, BD every other day was how I conceived my 3 DSs....

is it ok to bd every day from AF to O? ttc girl..

Im just wanting to get Bfp so much this month..

yep that's fine...might be a bit stressful to bd for that long though right?  What I would do is figure out the earliest that you ever ovulate (for me that is cd 15)...then figure out 5 days before you will O at the very earliest...start bding on that day to have at least 4 bd times...that shows the best stats anyway.  If you end up O'ing later then it's no big deal...you'll just have more bd times...but make sure never to skip a day.  Even if Dh is out of town or whatever one night, he needs to release at least.

So for example, my earliest O day is CD 15...I'll start dtd in the pm on cd 10, then continue on cd 11, cd12, and cd 13.  I would get a + opk sometime on cd 14 and then ovulate on cd 15.  My "ideal" thing...but like I said, if I end up ovulating later than cd 15 I'll just have more bd times, no biggie

if the only thing you are doing is cut off, then your sway isnt very strong. add preseed and it will be 50/50

When I looked at charts in my timing study, I found that BD every other day actually doesn't sway. The results overall were 50/50. Now, there were some methods of every other day BD that did sway: if there was a 2 or 3 day cut-off, more girls resulted, and if the every other day BD included ovulation, more boys resulted. This is the post I made on my blog about it:

Since it's 50/50 I don't think it's the worst timing method to use. But unless you have extenuating circumstances, why go with 50/50 timing when you can use a method that actually sways? I think it would be better to choose one of the timing patterns that produces more girls - frequent BD that avoids ovulation, a 2-3 day cut-off, or O+12. And if you are in a big hurry to get pregnant, I think frequent BD that avoids ovulation (at least 4 times in the 5 days prior to ovulation) is your best bet for being able to conceive as quickly as possible.

 This post was helpful for me too!  So yall are saying that you BD everyday and then try to avoid O day and possibly the day before (when you get a +opk?  When you get a +opk, you don't BD that night?  Was just wondering, that's what I've been doing (with no bfp) but I don't want to be in the boy zone.. even the 50/50 zone is better than that!

babydust, is that what you did to get your baby girl?  I'm sure I could go find an old post to find your sway.. but was just wondering about the timing.

The month I got preggo (and its a girl) I O'd on cd 16 or 17. We bd'd once on cd 14, twice on cd 16 and once on cd 17. Prime boy time.... but I am thinking the frequency as well as the supps, replens, & douches helped up our girl chances.

Replens can raise ph in some (so I have read here) so you can test your ph normally then use it and test to see what it does for you. It lowered mine.
