TTC & Gender Swaying #5

[myson]

Well, tomorrow is the big day for testing. Sort of dont want to now cos a bfn might appear. But, then I do want to know too.... I have had REALLY sore bb's for a couple days. Like so sore that it is definately not just my imagination. Imagine the worst case of sunburn that you ever had... thats what my nipples feel like. But it is not sunburn, just in case you were wondering So... one more sleep.

Kellx. Congrats on your little pink bundle. Thanks so much for coming back and sharing. Will be keeping an eye out for you birth announcement in a few months. GL.

Unfortunately its a bfn for me. So I guess thats it for now. Putting my laptop in for a service next week and having a hugely hectic month, so I might be gone a couple of weeks. Will try not to focus on TTC so much, HA! Fat chance.

All the best girls, Hope you are well AJ and Miklaoz. And Diamond Girl, special hug for you. GL and lets hope we both have some good news next time we meet.

I dont know if anyone is still posting on here?

I would like to find out theories on TTC girl that are NOT the Shettles Method. I'm not a fan of the Shettles Method since your best chance of conceiving is on O day and the 2-3 day cut-off freaks me out. I think the theory is that women are naturally more alkaline on O day, and more acid 2-3 days prior. But I would think that you could definately sway that with foods, supplements, etc. I have started taking a calcium and magnesium supplement and drinking lots of milk. Any other ideas? Anyone heard about cranberry tablets?

I am also thinking that BDing 12-24 hours before ovulation, with shallow penetration and no orgasm might assist female sperm? It still takes the egg about 12 hours to meet up with the sperm and in an acidic environment, there might be more female sperm left than male?

Any thoughts?

Hey, have you hear of the o+12 method?

[Jodsan]

Thanks Tanya, yeah I have heard of it. I think it said you have to hold off BDing for 7 days and BD once 12 hours after O. That sounds too risky to me, I get the feeling that the more BDing, the more chances of a baby!

Hi Jodsan,

I am not really able to help you in the girls department. I was aiming for a boy, but i have girls and i believe it has alot to do with your acid levels.

For my now pregnancy ( i am 12 weeks) I alkalined my system (aiming for a boy).. There is a few links on these threads that will help you aim towards a girl. Have a read through those and even test your DH to make sure he is not too alkaline.

Please let us know how you go i would love to hear your experiences

Ooh last min thought- Check with Kellxx she has just BFP a girl and did lots of things to help her. xx

Thanks Miklaoz,

Congratulations on your pregnancy, hope its a boy!

Been reading a bit about it, interestingly, things like wine and coffee are supposed to be forbidden on the girl diet but from my extensive googling, it shows that they are highly acidic foods (which is good bc I'm a little bit partial!). So many mixed messages with the different methods. I am taking calcium and magnesium and drinking milk, just going to BD as much as we can and hope for the best I think.
