Hey Jules,

LOL - I think you've definitely got 'all bases covered'. You can't do anymore.

Even with the best method, there's honestly a 50/50 chance either way of boy or girl. (But I sooooo much would love a boy too ). This whole pregnancy thing usually isn't as straight forward as what a lot of us first think or hope. You can do everything "right", but even then there's a good deal of luck with it. It's like a gamble or lottery. Some women fall pregnant quickly, others take many months for no apparent reason, others have problems in early pregnancy, others in late pregnancy, others during the delivery and others after the birth. For every "easy pregnancy" story there's just as many "hard pregnancy" stories. And most women will have a mixture of both.

At the end of the day, we're dealing with nature. I might sound like an old granny, or a preacher or something, but I've learnt a lot (unfortunately) over the last few months and nature does what it wants to do, it doesn't run according to a checklist and it doesn't give you any answers.

The massive urge to be a Mum is so totally overwhelming at times, it's amazing. It's amazed me. It's on my brain 24/7 too, and I also battle to 'have faith' , but I'm sure it will happen, and hopefully soon I think you have an excellent chance this month - you hit all the important days. Us, I'm sure we peaked too early Were too keen.

Really, really try not to test today! It'll be a guaranteed BFN and you'll just get miserable, even though there may be a pregnancy in the making I would definitiely say next Wed at the earliest. It's the worst sort of suspense in the world, I swear.

Ok, give me another update soon. And the lock the HPTs away for now,

Soulmate XXXX
