What are the "boy months" to conceive?

**Girlmama3** · July 27th, 2017, 02:20 PM

Hi I am new here there is so much to learn!

I have 3 daughters and we plan to have on more baby and REALLY would love a boy. Its our last one. I am a bit overwhelmed with all the information on this site!

Who can help me with the most important things to SWAY BLUE?? Diet, does timing matter? Best months to conceive? Any tips and tricks i will gladly take!

There are no "boy months" although I think there are slightly more boys conceived in the fall. I don't put much stock in it though since DS1 and DS2 were conceived in summer and DS3 in the "girl" month of april. Timing doesn't sway either. I don't know exactly what BD pattern Atomic recommends for blue but I know multiple attempts sway blue.

I think the HE diet and prenatal vitamins are some of the best boy sway tactics. Many of us with all boys got them eating a HE type diet, several bd attempts in fertile window, taking vitamins, and living a relatively healthy lifestyle.

Tons of blue dust to you!

Thank you! I thought multiple BD wasnt good for boys as it can lower sperm count? We did multiple BD for my DD1 and DD2 .

It is true that too many attempts can actually sway pink because it lowers sperm count, one attempt is what's recommended for conceiving a girl. For blue, I think around 3 attempts is what's recommended around ovulation time. Double check with Atomic though on that. Many of us boy mom's had 2, 3, 4 attempts around our fertile time when we got our boys.

A couple of studies have indicated that conceiving in the fall months Sept-Nov. may make a small, but statistical difference in number of boys conceived. In the Southern Hemisphere the peak is reversed and the boy months are Mar-May. But it was really minor and I think it is best to do what will work for your family and not rely on months to sway, since many of us (myself included) had month opposites and then got our desired gender even in the "wrong" month with swaying...I got 2 boys in girl months and my girl in a boy month!

I think I already went over some other stuff in another thread you started!

Once your fertile window is opened, O-3 through O Day, those sperm can stay alive. So every attempt you are just adding more and more and more sperm. It is the multiple BD (like I recall reading you did for one of your daughters!!) when the BD starts a long time before you are fertile, so all the early BD sperm will die off. Then by the time you are fertile and the sperm can survive, your husband is making much fewer sperm at that point.

So for a boy would it be best to BD every day for the 3 days before ovulation and ovulation day? so 4 days in a row? Thank you!!!!

Yes, atomic I was curious to know this too. I'm more concerned in increasing chances of conception. So after AF could we do every 3-4 days and then as the 3days before ovulation occurs BD every day? And do the O-1, Ovulation day and The next day?

I also wanted to mention, this month I tracked ovulation with the OPKS and I only got a solid smiley in the AM and by 12midnight I had no Smiley.. what's the best thing to do in a situation like that? I know each cycle is different, I'm hoping to attempt in the second week of august. Currently on cycle day 1

In most cases you should ovulate within 12-24 hours after a solid smiley (+opk). To get your 3 attempts in you should BD the evening of +opk and then the next morning and again that evening. That's 3 attempts in approx 24 hours.

Thank you!!

So for example if I get a positive OPK in the AM I should still go ahead with my 3 attempts after seeing that solid smiley? Even if I get no smiley at PM?
