If you are TTC [XY], sugar will lower your pH, therefore not good. You can use Stevia instead, it's alkalizing.
If you are TTC [XX], it will bring up your blood sugar, so not good either. I know Aspartame is recommended as arteficial sweetener, but it is VERY unhealthy, so maybe you can use Xylitol instead.

Do you want to do timing only? If so, are you charting BBT or using OPKs or checking CM and CP?
Have you already checked FAQ where you'll find explained swaying process and everything about 7 swaying factors (diet being the most important) If gender isn't important this time, I'd say, go with timing only, your chances are 50/50. But if you want proper sway, take some time and read FAQ.

That depends on your CM pH. If your pH is in the boy zone (7 and above), then I would do it only on my attempt months. However, if your pH is stucked (like mine was) then you may want to try it a month before you're planning attempt. Don't forget your body needs a 2 weeks rest from BSD!I remember you were asking what CP is, it is cervical position. When you are Oing, your CP SHOW - it's Soft...

Yep, only whole numbers, and for example, I can't really tell the diff between 6 and 7. If you want more accurate results, you may want to think about digital pH meter.

It's me again! [:-)] For me, that's the hardest part....You should watch several signs to know when you're O is approaching. IMHO, it's better to BD a bit earlier ( like 12-24 hours BEFORE O) then to enter a girl zone O+12. 12-24 hours before O also has high succes rate for boys.Signs you should be watching ( and charting) : CM type, CP, BBT for few months before attempt to know your pattern...

At least 6 weeks before you start. Have you already read this FAQ ?There was a thread about DH pH and drinks, but I can't remember the details, ( I'm big help, huh?) I'll try to find it.

I could have written this.....My DH is 37 and we BD 1-2 times a week, sometimes less, never more. He too works alot and he is exhausted when he comes home.You need 4 day abstinance and BD on O day or 1 day before O (this also has high boy succes rate). I donn't think you need any special preparation like to regulate it twice a week, but if you will feel more comfortable, do it 2 months...

I was obssesing with the same question, but I'm TTC a boy and it's recommended only 1 attempt as close to O as possible after 4 days abstinance and since I'm 38 it's not likely I will get pg fast enough. lol! DH is 37.So we've decided to go every other day during week of O, bcos 48 hours are safe abstinance when TTC a boy.If it's any consolation, timing is the least important factor ( my bro...
