A Summary of Shettles Advice for Attempting to Conceive a Boy

Preparation

1. Track cycles for 3 months, observing BBT and CM, before first attempt.
2. During this time the male should stay away from hot baths and tight fitting underwear and pants to increase sperm count. Eliminate frequent caffeine intake and reduce stress to help increase sperm count.

The Attempt

1. Have ONE unprotected sex session within the 12 hours before ovulation occurs. This will be somewhere between the morning of your last low temperature, to the morning on which you have your temperature rise. If temperatures are not consistent, have sex on the last day of peak cm symptoms, as close to the shift from clear egg white cm to cloudy cm (which signals ovulation has taken place).

2. Make sure that the male has abstained from ANY activity resulting in ejaculation for 4 days prior to ovulation.

3. (Optional) Drink a couple of cups of coffee or another strongly caffeinated beverage 15-30 minutes before having intercourse.

4. Have intercourse in the rear entry position (doggie style)  so that semen is deposited directly on the cervix where the secretions are the most alkaline.

5. Have an orgasm just before or during the male orgasm to increase your alkaline secretions.

Use of OPK

1. Use only ovulation tests which can test at any time of day.

2. Test twice a day, once between 11 AM and 3 PM and again between 5 PM and 10 PM starting 4 days before your anticipated ovulation day.

3. For the majority of women, ovulation occurs 24 hours after the first positive OPK. Have the one unprotected sex session 12-18 hours after first positive ovulation test .

Other tidbits

1. If woman has frequent vaginal infections (bacterial or yeast) and suspect an infection it should be treated prior to the attempt as infections cause secretions to be highly acidic.

2. Other than this one sex attempt, Dr. Shettles advises use of condoms at all other times during the cycle.

3. Woman can use Tes-Tape, Ovulation Pains and other signs of ovulation to help her pinpoint exact time of ovulation.
