Icon5 Some ? about TTC #4

Hello ladies Ive posted here before once with a similar ? . I dont chart and never have and according to when I started my period on the 17th I should O on the 31st but dh and I are wanting to start tonight because he wants to try the Shettles method and try for a boy. Do you believe in the this method? Also is going fro m 3 to 4 really that big of a difference? I know there are times when 3 can be overwelming for me and am now terrified . Ive heard its no difference at all and it actually doesnt cost a whole lot more. Thanks for any support

Hi, Chris!! Your little girl is such a darling! I really didn't think it was that difficult to go from 3 to 4. At that point I had 4 kids ages 5 and under. My oldest had just started kindergarten and I had the 3 girls at home. As far as the shettles method, I don't know anything about it. I will say I conceived my son, Garrett on the first day I got a + according to an opk. Good luck!!!

Hi Chris and welcome
About the Shettles method I dont know if that works I have never used it, But I know some people did as it worked for them, Anyway your answer from going from 3-4 I wouldnt know that one either cos I went from 3-5 cos I had twins, And I also had 5 under 6 at the time and I was just 24, But I believe it wouldnt make much of a diffrence, I actually encourge people to have 4 if they have 3, Cos I reckon its alot more work on the mum when 1 keeps getting left out, Cos the parent would have to spend more time and help occupie the one getting left out as well as listening to them crying and getting left out always. I know they agreed with me on that when they had a good think about it.

We did use some sort of timing method.......and it worked for us.......BUT.......who really knows.......you only have a 50/50 chance anyway.....

And three to four was a breeze!
