That could well be true. I'm known for getting facts around the wrong way, lol. If fact dyslexia was a real diagnosis, I think I would have it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92197 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:19:40 +0000 MamaMoose 92197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: That's so funny I've heard the exact opposite. Y sperm swim faster but die quicker! My friend who is a NP said that in IVF pregnancies girls are more common because the X sperm live longer and survive the procedure better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92192 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:12:57 +0000 Penny Lane 92192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aunt pol: nudey cuddles! that made me giggle out loud, lol.</p> <p>There's an old wives tale or something that says that the further away from actual ovulation day that you "nudey cuddle" the more likely you are to have a boy, because the Y sperm swim slower, but live longer, or something. Probably not all that much value in that though :P </p> <p>But like everyone said, before you leave and after should be fine! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92183 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:58:28 +0000 Alivoo01 92183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the info, everyone! I know without me officially charting it's difficult to predict anything, but it's nice to know the possibilities still. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92180 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:52:40 +0000 winniebee 92180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's still possible, since the swimmers can live for up to 5 days! To increase your chances, BD before you leave and when you get back : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92154 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:23:03 +0000 aunt pol 92154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As far as I understand it, unless you're taking temps etc it can be hard to accurately pinpoint ovulation - and then sperm are tough little divils, they can last a while in there, and doesn't the egg stay good for a day or two? I might be wrong too, I never really looked into it in huge detail.<br /> I would say unless you've been trying for a long time with no success, have your nudey cuddles on Friday morning before you go, have a great weekend, and then nudey cuddles when you get home Sunday night:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92152 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:20:19 +0000 heffalump 92152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sperms can stay up there for a few days. It just depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/o-during-bachelorette-party-weekend#post-92148 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:11:42 +0000 Alivoo01 92148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubby and I decided to start TTC this month (yay! since it was originally later this year). However, I don't chart anything. I have started tracking Aunt Flo's visit via What to Expect's Fertility app for a few months now. According to the app, it says my first fertile day is on Wed., March 28, and I'll likely ovulate on March 31. </p> <p>Here's the bad news - my friend's destination bachelorette party is that weekend (Thur., Mar 29 - Sun., Apr 1). Is there any possible way for us to conceive still with the "golden" opportunity not there when I'm away??? </p>
