TTC & Gender Swaying #5

[myson]

Very lucky me has "young for their age" parents, living right next door (well, a couple of km's away actually, but still neighbours) they are very clucky, like me, but they have no idea that we are even ttc. They are not expecting any more grandkids, and they dont have any grandsons, so if i manage to pull this off I will probably have them bashing down the door, wanting to babysit. They already show up and abduct my two DD's at regular intervals.

Going to have to think of a very cool, very memorable way to break the news when/if it happens.

Just post them your BFP urine stick in the mail and tell them it is from yur neighbour

Or you could just wear it as a badge over for a coffee one day...


I am so excited for you and yur shorter cycle.. I thik your time is getting closer and we may find this a VERY busy year with babies on here.

DG: I know the MS sucks big time, but think of it this way, if your sick it is a good thing and says all is going well (says she who is over it..) But you know i still heave a few times if i don't get food right when i want it.

Nightie night chickens this fat hen is off to bed (ok i am whining as i had to buy bigger pants this week, i am a skinny hen with a large egg in the belly )

Hi everyone,

Congratualtions Sym on you BFP, that is such good news, hoping you get your pink bundle.

Jodsan, I'm crossing my fingers for you hopefully the stick will continue to get darker.

DG, Sorry to hear about the morning sickness, I was lucky with the 2 boys didn't really have any, am hoping that it isn't different if I do get a girl. Do you mind me asking what your cut off was with timing for O, or did you more focus on your diet?

Myson, Good luck for this cycle, like you I didn't even know what a Luteal Phase was still I started trying for a girl. Since I have started charting I have noticed that my lp is only about 10 days, should I be taking Vit B to try and lengthen it, or will that mess up the other vitamins that I am taking to try and make myself more acidic. I don't know it is all too much sometimes.

Well I have just started a new cycle, last one was about 25 days again (too short) FF decided it couldn't detect ovulation after going between day 15 and 17 for a week. I think it was day 15. I have bought some OPK's so will use those this cycle because next cycle we will be trying YAY!!!!.

Anyway I am at home feeling sorry for myself as I had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday.

Good luck to anyone else who is trying.

Megs, not sure what affect B6 has on acidity???? Hadnt even thought about that!!!... but I will research it now. Some pre-natal vitamins already have B6, but not enough for lengthening LP. Mine have 750 micrograms but I am taking an extra 50 milligrams. Info I found said 50 -200 milligrams for LP. So i will start with 50 this month and see what the effect is, then up to 100 next month if it has done nothing.

I know its a lot of info to take in. And now I am taking 10 tablets a DAY! I hate swallowing them, it feels like it kind of contradicts the whole NATURAL conception/pregnancy/childbirth philosophy. But all except one (prescription drug) are natural things. I just have to keep reminding myself that these are good things, that my body really needs, and I just dont get them through natural means otherwise. And without them my chances of having a precious and healthy little baby (boy) are a lot lower.

GL Megs. Hope your TTC journey is as short as possible.

Hi,
Im new here and i will be trying for my DD in May. I already have 3 boys. I have been on the girl diet and taking supplements for the past 8 weeks but am extreamly nervous about my attempt. I can't decide weather to do a 3 day cut-off or a O+12 or maybe both just to cover my bases. What do you ladies think has better odds - a cuttoff or O+12??

Not sure Ezza as I am concentrating on 'boy techniques' but welcome, GL with whatever you choose.

Hi Ezza,

I am also trying for a girl in May, at this stage I am going with the 3 day cut off, and have been changing my diet and taking supplements. I will have to read up more on the O+12 method. Although from what I have been reading on these forums I am thinking that the environment plays a bigger factor than timing.

Good luck, I am also TTC a girl in May.
