Mel & Jennifer, we may all be at the same time! I am also hoping for a boy first so researching all of the gender swaying stuff at the moment. The three of us seem to be popping up in all of the same threads. Good luck ladies!

wow that would be great if we could all be pregnant at the same time fingers crossed
I hope af turns up for you soon jennifer im lucky af turned up for me 2 days after stopping the pill.
hiya Taryn good to see you
goodluck with your swaying to have a boy, i am researching all the methods to have a boy as well.
think i might buy a book online so i dont have to look online so much anymore, it is taking up so much of my time lol.
but i want to do it properly as this is our last baby when we ttc in december this year and i would really love a boy.
Thanks Mel. AF did turn up for me three days after the Mirena was removed. So I'm expecting the next round. I don't *feel* pg so I'm seriously hoping it's just a few days late. We are not prepared just yet and I really wanted a chance to do all of the things we planned this time! DD was an oopsie baby. We have been so careful, so I'm sure I'm just in waiting mode while things get back into gear properly.
Hi all, I would like to join in here to. DF and I are starting to ttc #6 and we would love a boy to round out the numbers lol. I have read all the posts in this thread and it all seems so complicated. I was always told that to have a girl dtd very close to O (as girl swimmers are faster) and if you want a boy to do it a couple of days before O. I think I have stuck to this theory and it seems to have worked out. I haven't worried about ph levels and such. Do you think it is necessary really or is it just luck of the draw.
By the way congrats to all who have fallen pg. Fingers crossed I'll be joining you soon.
It does seem so complicated doesn't it? I think it's the opposite for boys though, DTD on O day because boy swimmers die faster and don't hang around as long. Girl swimmers can last a few days so you can DTD a couple of days before O. Anyway, I have no babies so can't actually say if it works but I have been researching it heaps lately. There are also heaps of weird things you can eat as well! Good Luck!
Melodyamom, I am thinking of getting a book too! I am wasting WAY too much time online researching things and we aren't even ready to TTC yet!!
The theory is you are more likely to conceive a boy if you abstain a few days before O'ing and DTD on the day you O. Other way around for a girl, DTD for the days before, abstain for a couple of days around O and let nature run its course.
I'm trying the diet thing, can't hurt. So a banana every day and I'm adding salt to my food. It's not tasty for someone who hates salt, but I figure I'll get used to it.
Mel, we will begin TTC Dec/Jan. You? I can't remember if I had read it somewhere already sorry!! What book did you buy? There is so much interesting info around! Great you got all of your tablets etc, I'm just looking into that now! I still have not O'd since coming off the pill in June. As far as I know anyway!! I am still waiting for my first real AF to come.
I really need to read up more, Jennifer and Mel you have so many diet things you are doing already! I need to get onto this boy train!!
Mel, just looked at old posts and saw we may be the same time. I already wrote that! Ha, it's hard to keep track!

Thank you Good Luck to you too!! I saw you have 2 DD already! That's awesome!
Yeah it is a lot, just trying to learn about it all. I was on the pill for 6 years so don't know anything about my cycle etc! Had a good visit to the gynae yesterday so I'm starting to understand more, slowly...
I just found a-gender last week, think I might get a book too. Will help me pass the time till we can actually start TTC!
I only have one sister which is awesome, but always thought I would love a big brother, and DH is a great big brother so I would love to start with a boy! I'm so clucky at the moment though that a happy & healthy baby would be just fine!
