Atomic frequency and abstaining ttc boy

[rachel86]

Hi atomic! Last time I checked, you recommend DTD 3 times after the first positive opk for ttc boy. My question is, would it be better to have DH abstain as far as he can before attempt (max 4 days) then we DTD as soon as I get that positive opk? Or is it better if DH and I have sex every other day at end of AF then DTD 3 times when I get that positive opk?

Also wondering, since last I checked, the spreadsheet had high success with some abstaining.

I saw on another thread she said every 2 to 4 days, but I'm not sure if there is supposed to be an abstinence period just before ovulation; I'm curious too!

Curious about this as well.

Every 2 - 4 days after AF leaves town, then 3 attempts in 24 hours at +OPK. No abstain!

Thank you for the reply Anchor. Are we supposed to use protection on those days before the positive opk? Can you please tell me if the baby dancing every 2-4 days is to keep sperm count high? or is it meant to make the vagina more boy friendly? Or both?

No protection and It's meant for both. But I get your question... the stats are really good for attempts 0-3 or 0-2 and then 3 attempts in your micro-window or at O. HTH

Def no abstain or protection the month you are TTC the every 2-4 day pattern is for sperm health and to make us more boy friendly.
My girls were 1 attempt after 7 day abstain and DS was every 2 or 3 days (we just didn't do a 4 day) then O-3, O-2, Oday am & pm. We were hoping for an O-1 attempt too but life got in the way.

[Throwaway_panther]

So what makes every 4 days both girl and boy suggestions? Is it the extra attempts at O then that edge more boy?

Thank you bre_cooper11 and Pearl327.
So I should baby dance every other day, that should fall around 0-3 or 0-2 etc and then DTD 3 times within 24 hrs, as soon as I get the first positive opk. Is there a reason why atomic doesn't recommend continuing to baby dance after the 24 hrs (on ovulation day) ? Does it sway pink?
Based on my baby dance pattern every other day, would it be okay if I end up DTD on 0-2 and then again the next day on O-1 and again on O day? That wouldn't leave room for 2 days abstain? I wouldn't be able to know when I get my first positive opk only until I'm at O-1
