I am new here.  Have one 2.5 yr old son and looking to conceive a girl.  Since my husband's father's side has not had a girl since 1905 and we are only planning on having 2 kids-  I have been reading all about gender swaying.  Thanks so much for the great website and all the info.  Here are my questions:

1)  I am confused about whether abstinance is better or worse to conceive a girl.  I see that o+ 12 recommends abstinance for 7 days but Shettles does not.  I am going to try Shettles this month because I am not sure when I O and given our schedules we would probably have a hard time BD at the right time.  So if we are doing Shettles I am unsure whether to BD frequently up until a 2-3 C/O or just wait until the 2/3 day C/O and try once?

2) I planned to use the vinegar douche before and after- is it better to just soak a tampon in the same solution for after?

3) I saw the debate re: refresh and reples.  I bought replens - is that the right one to use?

Thanks

Hi Arabeth and Welcome!!!  I'm sorry that I don't really the know the answers to your questions, but I think that the abstinence is slightly better than frequent BD.  Are you monitoring your ph?  I would suggest that you try out the replens, because it has been known to raise your ph too high.  It is best to have a ph around 4 to 4.5 for TTC a girl.  Check out the FAQ section if you haven't already.  There is tons of information there. 

Lots of luck to you  I hope that you get your little girl!!!
