TTC & Gender Swaying #5

[Jodsan]

Hi ladies,

I'm currently CD8, I should O on CD15. I'm very nervous about it but DH and I have decided to try a 3 day cut-off, so AM on CD12 will be it, then it shouldn't matter what time I O on CD15.

Does anybody know how long it takes for conception after O? Reason is, I am still considering trying the O+12 method on top. I figure that if there are sperm alive from three days out, they should get to the egg within 12 hours of O. If for some reason they fail, then 12 hours after we would still be in with a shot this month?

Sym - I definately think you are still in with a chance, I have heard of people getting pregnant from BD 7 days before O. Good luck, sending you lots of

Hi Ladies,

Long time no type. I feel for you AmandaJ.

I am now over my MS , sooo glad too. (13weeks)
I had my NT scan last week. All is good and i could see my little one wriggling round in my belly stretching and waving arms about. I did not think they moved that much in the early days. Now i cannot wait to feel movement.

I am hoping someone will join us 3 on the baby band wagon soon...

Quck question for anyone who can help..

I have a pain in the left side of my butt, maybe even closer to my lower hip area. It is like a cramp and comes and goes. is this Sciatica ??? If so how can i get rid of it , it is soo uncomfortable..

Hi Miklaoz, Glad your feeling better. Wow 13 weeks, time is flying by for you. From what I know of sciatica it is a sharp nerve pinch and can travel down the leg. But that was just my expeience, and everyone is different. Could be that or muscular loosening from changing hormones and body shape and centre of gravity shifting. ???? if its real bad check with doc, or maybe a good masssage will help? Any excuse for a massage...

Good to see your back Myson.

I am guessing notebook is all good now.
All else good too???

Are you still following your boy diet plan?

Will see my Obs about the pain, it is more a cramp sort of thing... Who knows I get every sympton that you can get with pregnancy. All is good.

Hi everyone, i hope you don't mind me posting in here.
I have 3 boys, and dp told me he really wants to try for a girl, we won't be ttc until i've lost some weight, but i've read the whole thread and am very hopeful that with the tips that are here i will be able to give dp his little princess.

Yes Mik. Still doing the 'boy stuff'. Officially CD 4 now, after a 68 day cycle! So very excitedly watching all the signs and looking forward to eggy day. Notebook mostly fixed but still need to attach HUGE aerial for better reception (they gave me a lead with the wrong end on it, so now have to wait til I go back to town AGAIN!!!!). Then wont have to sit in the middle of the paddock to get online.

Hi Naomi, welcome. There is lots of great stuff in this thread and on about page 4 or 5 of the thread previous to this one. Did you go back that far??? Personally Im hoping for a boy, but there are others lurking who have lots of good girl tips. GL.
