TTC & Gender Swaying #4

[myson]

Thanks DG,

I am pretty excited as all requirements for a boy were met and it looks like we got the timing exactly right.

I've been looking at so many threads in "conception" but have not posted elsewhere. There are so many ladies out there trying hard to get PG and some for a long time and with much heartbreak along the way. I would feel awful if someone got upset or thought I was being choosey or selfish to want a boy so much.

So to EVERYONE, I am really glad you are ALL here. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. And it is great to have a place to talk, as aside from DH there is only one other person who knows we are even TTC again. The hard bit will be keeping the exciting news to myself once it happens.

I hear you myson, I hear you I am pleased to have found a group of ladies that have opened warm arms and helped me out so much without knowing anything about me. I am the same i am finding it hard not to say a thing to anyone, and hiding my not wellness has been a job in itself. But so far so good.

I don't think i will try and find out what i am having i have not before and i kind like the suprise at the end of a hard road...

Question to those who found out what they where having and it not being what they tried for. How did you feel?

, Yawn.. I am off to bed, early nights for me

Miklaoz, I've found out with all mine, and I must admit I felt disappointed, but at least I knew and could deal with my feelings before bubs arrived. When I do get pg again, we'll defineately be finding out again.

hi lovely ladies!! was wondering if any of you use the chinese gender predictors in aid to fall preggers with a specific gender????

[myson]

Miklaoz - I definately want to know early this time around. I was convinced my first was a boy, but they couldn't tell me from the US so I waited. I got pretty bad PND after her. I dont know if it was because of gender so much, because i knew i was definately wanted at least one more bub so i had another chance to try again. Second time around they couldnt tell me again ... both very ladylike with their legs crossed... i sort of knew it was a girl for some reason. I got PND again but not so much that i needed medication again.

Next time i will really want to know. If it is another girl i know i will be upset at the thought that i will never have a son. (three is all for me) So because of my tendency for PND i will find out so that i can deal with the feelings and come to terms with not ever getting my baby boy that i desperately want, and then i can move on and be prepared to meet my beautiful daughter when she arrives.

AND since we (DH, not me!) were certain two was our limit I got rid of all my baby gear so we will be starting over in that department. I cant wait to go on a little blue spending spree.

AJP - I played with a little online chinese predictor and entered dates from lots of different family members. It was accurate 50% of the time...

[Kitt3n]

AJP - i looked at that too, and it was correct for my daughter, myself and my partner. Not sure if i would swear by it though! Maybe we should have a belly belly poll as to how accurate it is, going by your family and dates?

[Miklaoz]

AJP- I did it and it was correct both times, this time i checked and it said a boy.. who knows i don;t really follow it 100%. Have you had a look for yourself?


Myson: so sad for you that you got PND. It is a very hard issues to deal with which often gets ignored (a few of my friends found out later on they had it..)

AmandaJ: I am praying that you get your Princess. I hope that there will be no dissapointment this time round for you. xx Do you have your girls name picked out and all

[Olive]

thanks guys it was correct got for my daughter and i would secretly love another girl but at the same time just want nature to take it course!! i found a really good quick chinesse predictor if anyone wants to try it

[Tanya]

It was on 50% right for my babies

I am pretty good at predicting bub's gender at about 11-14 weeks.... just let me look at a full body profile u/s shot, needs to be a really good shot, right down the middle and I can give you a pretty good guess... more acurate than those chinese gender charts anyway

The chinese gender predicter was right for both of my boys but this time it said iwas having another boy so it was wrong. I would not count on it.

AJP going by the chinese calander I should have at least 3 girls, but alas I have 4 boys, so they aren't any good for me.

Hi all,

I think I may be out this month, before O has even happened!

We BD last on CD 9, because I thought that I'd O on CD 11 (Based on 25 day cycle). I found a little EWCM yesterday and lots today, which means that I will probably O tomorrow (CD 12)- and that leaves over 3 days before O. I know today is my most fertile day, so ordinarily I would BD tonight, however because we are doing the timing thing for a girl, we cant. By the way I have had all negative OPK's.

Do you think we are still in with a reasonably good chance this month?

[*LovemyKids*]

Well i am not too sure if this helps you and everyone is different but we concieved our baby girl 4 days before Ovulation.

Huge Hugs for you DG. I am not in the market for a Girl so i canot answer but maybe AmandaJ can help you. I have not idea what we did to get girls.. We just did it.

[myson]

OK. So now I am very confused. I had every good sign that I o'ed 2 days ago. My Temp dipped on WEd and lifted by a few points on thurs. there was EW and ferning and +opk but today my temp is back down again????? could this be because i woke up for about 15mins (didnt get out of bed) and then went back to sleep an hour before i took temp or did i not O at all??? or what ??? is a continuing thermal shift VITAL for O??? I have looked at many peoples charts but they are different??? what do you think?

have just started looking at "fallback rise" which could explain it... I didn't know about this... there is still hope

[Kitt3n]

ah myson, i think you have to be asleep for at least 3 hours to have a reliable BBT.

was reading all the above stuff about how to "cook" a baby boy - got my man on the zinc and teh ginseng, not sure if i will go as far as mixing his little swimmers with egg white to scoop half of em out though!! just seems a little clinical to me, i just want it to happen "naturally" (well, as naturally as it can doing all this otehr stuff!!)

I think the word "natural" has so many different meanings to many different people now. Both for conception and birth.

I think for me natural is anything I can possibly do without of a FS and a test tube (and without eggwhites too) And natural birth for me is relly just trying to avoid a cesarean.

But on the other hand some people may feel that natural means no charting or counting or testing, just DTD and wait. And for natural birth you have your baby under a tree in the forrest and wrap it in bark. Which is great.. if you like bark and trees and stuff....

But that is just the wonderful diversity of the human race. Do what is good for you and be happy!

And i am just rambling on cos i cant be bothered with housework today...

[Kitt3n]

sorry all, i didnt mean to offend!!! to someone new looking into this i hope you can appreciate its kinda quirky to be mixing the lil swimmers with egg whites - i am sure sooner or later it will seem second nature to me, but ive just read it and its still quirky
