Delurking - Shettles Girl Attempt
| Sun, 09-21-2003 - 7:07pm |
Hello All, I am finally going to be a regular poster here. Have been on the fence about when to start TTC#3. FInally took the plunge yesterday with a single attempt that complies with Shettle Girl approach. BD on D16 hopefully 2.5 days before O. Now the wait for O AND AF! Best wishes to us all!

There used to be a gender determination board here, but can't find it anymore so I have no forum to ask questions. Do you know of any message boards related to this. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks so much!

I do not know of any gender determination boards.
There is a genderdetermination board at Parentsoup.com. It is pretty informative, but the activity is rather slow. I am also playing with Shettles for a girl. I have a 13month old DS (not Shettles). I hope DH and I didn't BD too late this month for a girl. fertilityfriend.com indicated that I may have O'd on the 12th (CD14), so DH and I thought we were in the clear to mess around for fun on the 18th(CD20). Then that night I got some serious O pain and the next morning my temps were up. They have been high ever since. Oh well, we'll see what happens. I wouldn't be upset with another boy.
Hopefully all will work out for all of us and we will be seeing lots of pink next summer.

I actually have been having the same issue with this method, but Im willing to try it, so hubby and I have been following all the rules (even the douching that they took out of the latest print of the book). Not having an orgasm is the worst part, by far. Hubby says "it takes all of the fun out of it" lol. I generally abstain from until after my o, its hard, but I think its best. We've given in and played around, but no intercourse, I dont want to give the boy sperm a chance! I have had orgasms in the days leading up, but waited at least 24 hours between BD and orgasm. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I figure the douch and the long wait has killed most of the boy sperm by that point. Its a topic I havent heard discussed before, so I don't know for sure, but thats what we've been doing.
Looking at my chart we too were somewhere between 2.5 and 3 days between bd and o. Seems like we both may be on track this month! When are you planning on testing?
