Here's the thing I don't understand about Shettles. Which sperm get there first if I BD mulitple days - the oldest sperm or the newest? If I BD on say days 5, 4, and 3 before ovulation and then on ovulation day, wouldn't the sperm from day 5 (before O) already be in there and therefore be closer and fertilize the egg first, making it more likely to be a girl? Or does the fact that O day was included mean it is more likely to be a boy? I would reaaaaalllly appreciate any help. Thanks.

The boy sperm swim faster and are lighter, so would get there quicker. Dtd on lots of days makes it more likely you will get a girl. So for a boy you should just get your partner to release once a few days before dtd and then just bd on O day.
