“Implantation is the process by which a fertilized ovum (egg) implants into the uterine wall to obtain oxygen and nutrients from the mother. This usually occurs between 6 and 8 days after conception. Conception itself can occur anywhere between a few hours and 5 days after intercourse.”
Crazy to think that it can take nearly a week after intercourse for “conception”. The human body is insane!

Sperm can live in a woman’s vagina for up to 5 days! Some say more. That’s why conception might not occur til a few days after, if the woman doesn’t ovulate til a few days after sex

Well maybe they don’t live in the vagina, they live up there somewhere

Also I read that girl sperm lives longer than boy sperm so if you’re trying to get pregnant and want a girl you should have sex lots a couple days before you actually ovulate cause the boy sperm dies off and the girl sperm is still sticking around waiting for the egg. I mean idk how true that is that’s just what I’ve heard haha

@shellbell0391, yep! It’s called the shuttles method! I followed it STRICTLY when I was trying for my 1st. I only want girls. 🤗 She came out a girl! Haha! I’m following it this time around also.
It has to also do with your diet, and body temp. All about a saline “environment” for boys, and acidic for girls.
It’s super interesting!
