TTC & Gender Swaying #5

[myson]

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...

[Miklaoz]

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.

[myson]

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.

[Naomi]

Thanks Myson, i have looked through every thread and have all of the tips jotted down.
We won't be trying for a while, but i am trying to find all of the info that i can for when the time comes.
I have my that you get your baby boy!

Hi Naomi,

Can i ask when you had your boys, did you follow any program or dd you just have it happen?

[myson]

Yes Naomi, do tell... whats your secret? You seem to have the perfect boy recipe. I have always been very acidic ( constant heartburn and reflux from oversupply ) but I never knew until recently how that affected gender swaying. So I got two girls without doing anything. So now Im doing everything I can to reverse my natural inclination. Hopefully it wont take too long cos I hate taking pills (natural supplements) and giving up dairy is torture for me!

Hi gender swaying buddies,

This thread has gone quiet again. How are you all?

I think I am officially in the 2WW. I had real trouble pinpointing O this month as I had constant pains for a week. I had a low hormonal drop on Saturday, then Sunday my Cervix was still open and soft but today it is closed and hard. So I assume I O'd either Saturday night or yesterday (which is the date I expected CD15), assuming cervix probably takes 24 hours to close again? I am going with 1dpo anyway?!? Our cut-off to TTC a girl was Friday morning, so we are probably in with a good chance - ended up with anywhere between 36-60 hours cut off. Let's see if the diet and Shettles cut-off really works!

[Sym]

Hi Jodsan,

We are trying for a girl but i think I done the cut off too soon, we BD 5 days before I got a positive OPK so I don't like my chances. How's the girl diet?

I'm struggling to wait out the 2 weeks (currently at 9dpo), done a cheap internet Pg test this arvo and got the faintest of a second line so I went to the shops and grabbed a first response test which in my mind is neg... I done some reading though and apparently the internet cheapie tests at 10mlu and first response is
25mlu, so we shall see what happens in the next couple of days.

I'm trying to make a deal with myself that I won't test again until at least Wednesday.. lol

Good luck with your TWW and hopefully we both get our daughters.

[myson]

Hi Jodsan and Sym. GL for you both this time round!

I am at cd10 today and beginning to get some pre O niggles, problem is DH is away from tomorrow night and we are hoping for a boy. So unless I miraculously O in the next day or 2 then it looks like I miss out this time round. bummer!

Anyway, its just a waiting game, as usual. waiting...waiting... waiting... its driving me nuts really. Looking forward to seeing your test results soon.

[Miklaoz]

Everytime i see your last post Myson i hold my breath and pray i read that you have BFP. Would you kindly NOT disapoint me all the time please

Seriously you need to go with that Hubby of yours when he goes away!!!! But all good things happen to those who wait.

At least it gives you one more month to get the time right.

[myson]

sorry Mik. Doing my best We are just going to dtd before he goes and see what happens. Do you think ph levels and supplements etc will make up for timing problems.

How long do the boy sperm live for anyway??? If I O soon after he goes then maybe it will still work. Getting SO clucky I would be happy with a baby orangutan now. Forget this boy/girl business!

[Jodsan]

Sym - It sounds very promising. A positive is a positive! Do try to wait until Weds though, if there is a faint now then it should definately be darker two days later. Yeah, the girl diet is quite good bc I really love dairy, I am happy to drink a litre of milk per day. I have not completely cut out the wine and chocolate though so I cant say I have done it strictly. I think the cut-off time is the most important, you should be in with a good chance of having a girl if you have conceived from 5 days out. I'll be thinking of you, try to keep busy for the next 36 hrs.

Myson - well they say up to 3 days with boy sperm. Cross fingers that with the alkaline diet they last really well!!

Mik - How's the pg going?

You could always store his special stuff in a jar and injected it when it suits (ewwww).
Wasn't that one of the ways one thread said to fall for the certain sex..

PG: Is very good I am 14 weeks Sickness is gone , but still have this crampiy leg thing.. All good Thank you for asking

[Jodsan]

Mik, I have actually read the same thing about storage in a jar, it was on a US site. They kept it in the fridge and then warmed it up slightly before insemination by placing the jar in a cup of warm water (like a baby's bottle). Might be worth a thought Myson. I cant recall how long it lives for though.

Yeah, I had shocking leg cramps thoughout my whole pregnancy and sciatica. I took calcium and magnesium supplements and tried to drink loads of water and that probably helped a little.

[Naomi]

Yes Naomi, do tell... whats your secret? You seem to have the perfect boy recipe.

Why thank you lol
My first was a big suprise, so no control over that one.
2nd was planned, but i wanted a boy, so i dtd on o day, had my legs raised and a pillow under my butt for 1/2 hour and it worked.
3rd was a suprise too, we were not supposed to start ttc #3 until the year after he was born, so he was eager to get here.

Mik, my mum swears by drinking soda water for leg cramps, it worked for me

Hi everyone,

Guess what. I was trying to use the cut-off method for a girl, and so we DTD Day 11(PM), and I usually O on day 13, so I thought that Id have a 2 day cut-off, but according to FF I O'd on Day 12, the same day as my +OPK. The OPK was the darkest its ever been. Wayyyyy darker than the control line. Also my temps were taken under less than ideal circumstances (ie my DS deciding to wake up anytime between 6 -8am), so I dont think they are completely accurate. Im beginning to stress out a little because I was sure Id O on day 13., not day 12. Is it even possible to O on the day of a +OKP, I thought you had at least a 24hr wait after the OPK. Now Im sooo confused.

And if I just stir in a spoonful of baking soda that will kill the girl ones, and then zap it in the microwave to zing up the boy ones, and voila' sperm soup!

Dh has just stopped complaining about having to wear looser boxers, if I ask him to leave a jar of the stuff in the fridge he is likely to have a coniption of monumental proportions!

If its 3 days for boys, then I guess I willl be happy with that. He is taking zinc so they should be quite healthy little swimmers. Lets just hope I am not in for another 68 day cycle!!!!

I dont really know anything about opk's DG, but Im thinking of you. GL for this time round, hope it all turns out how you hoped.
