well thought this might be intrusting read, love to know how you all go and if it works at all... we have been TTC our 4th for 8mths now, both BHL and I would love to have a boy, but are fast getting to the stage that anything will do as its taking so long...
So would love to know what you are doing to make boys is there any trick to it at all... I think with us though it will have to be what will be, but thought that if there is things I should be taking or not having to sway the little boy to swim faster and stronger...
well best of luck for everyone hope you all get what you are wishing for...
Thanks for that chickybabe, all I can say thank God I am TTC a Boy I wonder how I ever managed to have 2 girls at all looking at that diet... luck for me I eat almost all the boy food already, the only thing I do which I shouldnt is have milk in my coffee, but I am trying to give up the coffee anyway, down to only one cup a day now so almost there...
As for DTD when I Ov that much I knew, but with BHL working away for 6 days at a time and home for 6 we just DTD when ever he is home and hope for the best , I have very long 41 day cycles and next to no EWCM so all of this doesnt help me much to tell when we are Ov or not... I chart but FF cant really work me out either... apart from that I guess there isnt too much more I can do...
whats with the PH test strips is that something I should be doing ? but once again I guess its more help to people who actully have their DH's home each night...
In the TTC thread I am on someone posted a great site which tells you when to dtd to get the sex you want depending on your cycle lenght, I will go look for it and paste it in, but it will only work if your cycle is 35 day or less and you would have to have regular cycles too, so no good for me...

I just checked out that site and it said the best two days for us to TTC a girl were yesterday and today - which is exactly what we thought - taken care of that
Thanks for that - at least i was heading in the right direction. Makes me feel a bit better.
The PH strips are for testing your levels - from what i have read most people are more alkaline - which i am. So for eg. i need to get my levels to a more acidic level cause girl sperm love a more acidic environment. Boy sperm love a more alkaline environment. So the idea being that you try to change your CM to being alkaline. I have been testing my urine but apparently you need to test your CM so a couple of days ago i tried testing my CM and it didnt do a thing. I went back to testing my urine cause i can tell from that when my diet has caused or is going to cause something to change.
Sorry - what a ramble !
You can get PH test strips off ebay.
Anyway, Tanya is madly doing the boy diet so i am sure she will be able to help you heaps ! She is a wealth of information and i guess she will pop in shortly.
I think there are things you can take to give you more CM. I have heard people talking about Vitex - but dont quote me on that.
I wondered why I wasn't getting any emails about new posts... because its a new thread!! Haven't read up on past posts... just wanted to stick my head in and say hi to everyone trying for bubs...!! I find out if I get my pink bundle or not in about 3 weeks ... I am so convinced its a boy, I wish I could find out now!! Apparentley there are these tests you can get called Intelligender but I they sound like a bit of a scam!!
Glad you could pop in Leeloo - i have been wondering how you were going. 3 weeks to go til your scan, thats so exciting - crossing all my bits for you !
Tanya - how are you going ?
Hope everyone is well
CD13 for me today. Hope we didnt DTD to early this cycle. Just read in another thread that someone was told that no matter how long your cycle you always 'O' 12 days before you get AF. Now if thats the case i wouldnt be due to 'O' til Sunday. Which in turn means that our cut off should have been Thursday - not Monday.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh - why do i read these things ? Anyway if thats correct - we will miss the egg by a long shot. Mmmmmm.....maybe i should use OPK's if i dont have any luck this time round ! Freaking out again !
Hi CB... you need to get yourself some OPK's!! Get 'em off ebay, they are heaps cheaper. What is your cm doing? I O 12 days before AF... but not everyone does. It depends on how long your luteal phase is. It ranges from about 10-16 days.
Tali, for more ewcm, green tea, flax seed oil, evening primrose oil... but vitex is a girl sup I have also recently learned that too much vit C can dry you up. However you need a fair bit of fruit and juice on the boy diet, so it's trying to get the balance correct. Also make sure you drink plenty of water I have recently been squeezing and drinking my own carrot juice (with a little bit of tomato and celery) excellent for ttc a boy and great for fertility
Leeloo, I did intelligender with DD#4, it said she was a boy!! TWICE! Did you get the NT scan done? If you did maybe I could have a peek and see if there are any gender clues
