Time to baby dance?!

So sorry. Posting for traffic as it’s getting later and I need an answer! AIBU to think this is my peak? After 3 girls, we are trying for a boy using Shettles method so want to do baby dancing at the perfect timing!

Any advice? Thanks!

I think this is probably the wrong part of the forum to be using the term baby dance instead of just having sex.

That's a strong line. Best get busy! All the best xx

Sorry 😂 I’m used to watching TikTok TTC videos and I am just so used to reading that lol

Why does any adult use this cutesy, childlike euphemism for sex?

Is it genuinely somehow too edgy or ‘naughty’ 😐 to even mention sex in a normal way?

@WellMaybeYouShouldntBeLivingHeeeeeeeeI have just explained above ☺️

Sorry and I know this doesn’t answer your question but I couldn’t get past “baby dance”. Literally the most nauseating euphemism in the history of time. Recommending you repost this using the phrase “have sex.”

I'd say that's a peak line (it needs to be as strong as or darker than the control).

If you're deadly serious about Shettles, I'd suggest the day of ovulation (i.e. tomorrow) would be slightly better (LH peak is usually 24-36 hours prior to ovulation). There is, of course, the risk that you might miss the boat if you delay until tomorrow (you'll have to weigh up the pros and cons)!

On TikTok where I watch most videos you can’t use the word sex and I didn’t put much thought behind it offending everyone 😂

Fair comment and sorry to be snarky. Its just an awful phrase.

Ah I didn’t know that about TikTok. Sorry for giving you a hard time OP

paddyclampster · 20/11/2025 20:57

Baby dance?!?!? Christ on a bike!

I do hope you will love a 4th daughter just as much! Shettles isn’t a dead cert.

pepsimax97 · 20/11/2025 20:59

@paddyclampsterof course! Any child is a blessing

I literally thought you meant do an actual dance, like a rain dance but for fertility 😄

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 20/11/2025 21:05

I can't believe you're getting more stick for 'baby dance' than 'trying for a boy.'

Is that you, Meghan? .....
