I think I am already a disastrous-swayer, but maybe being in this thread will help me out a little.
Am ttc #2, have a gorgeous spectacular ds who is 14 months. The first month of ttc I stopped bd-ing a couple of days before O, (doing the vaguely-shettles thing for a girl), didn't get utd and thought "Screw this!!!" So I just can't abstain on my most fertile days, I want a baby too badly and I am not young enough to muck around! Anyway, will *really* have to look more at the dietary stuff. I have stopped eating bananas and adding salt but that is about it.
I am also unlikely to try anything which decreases chances of conception (which a lot of the girl things are), so things that dry up cm etc are not for me!
I had an early mc the month before last, and feel vaguely guilty for the little "ooh, i hope it's a girl" thought that I had when I first found out I was utd.
This month was pretty terrible on the swaying front - I O'd 2 days early (what the???), so ended up dtd only right on O (perfect boy-recipe right?), not to mention the fact that isn't early ovulation correlated with higher chances of having a boy?
Charting is going ok, only started a few days ago though...was unsure if I wanted to try for a bubs while we are in the financial position we are, still not sure, but thought the charting cant hurt.
As it turns out, I got my period the same day lol so that is nice ot start at the beginning iykwim
DH is looking forward to DTD though lmao - poor guy has been deprived for almost 2 mnths while I have been in Melbourne.
I dont think the diet will be too hard, although the yoghurt and butter thing will be tough!
DP isnt too keen on being told we cant DTD because of O timing etc, but if he wants a boy!... ;P
Hi Prama - i think i remember you from when i was first trying for ds (not sure if i posted in the ttc thread at that point or was only reading), goodluck with your ttc efforts - I am also ttc #2 and would love a little girl.
Good luck to you all... I am on cycle 6.... and I am in my tww (just)!! Diet has slipped since I O'd, but I don't care right now... Will tighen my belt tomorrow.
prama - oh yeah, oops, diff username - that would have made it tricky! I remember you being a total sweetie My bubba is just a bit over 14 months - and is such a clever and grown up boy now! I love the pic in your sig of your little man - he's just gorgeous
tanya - goodluck in this tww, ahhh, i almost envy you the beginning of the tww, too early to worry about symptoms, i am in the death-throes of my tww, and it's not looking good, but I haven't been v positive this month. Oh well, as i said before, this month was text-book boy, so maybe it is for the best (can't really think like this though - sooooooo want to be utd again!)
Anyway, will *really* have to look more at the dietary stuff. I have stopped eating bananas and adding salt but that is about it.
