TTC & Gender Swaying #5

[Jodsan]

Sym - Where are you? It's Wednesday morning, did you do that second test this morning? Thinking of you, got my fingers crossed it was a BFP!

[Jodsan]

Hey gender swaying buddies,

Have you all heard of the Jonas method and what do you think of it? Firstly it says that we can spontaneously ovulate when the moon is in the same position as it was when we were born? Well it's got me thinking bc I had such a strange O week this month. On CD8 I got O type cramps on my right side, I was not due to O until CD15. Then I had strange cramps all week, low, etc. Then I got the hormonal drop on CD 14 but not the pains (which I always get). Thing is, I just did the Jonas calculator and it is telling me my lunar fertility is on the 9th March, the exact day I was CD8 and got the pains!?! Strange!:

But, then the second part of the Jonas method - that gender is determined by the astrological sign the moon is in. I kinda knew this and I knew that I was due to O on 16th March and that the moon would be in Cancer which is a feminine sign. So all looked good for a girl, along with my 3 day cut off. But, if I did O on the 9th, moon was in Aries, a male sign AND we BD'd twice that day!!

Or, maybe I O'd on both dates, in which case we can expect male and female twins!!

Have any of you looked into the Jonas method for gender swaying? Here's the link to a good site that has the calculator: Jonas Method Conception Calculator and Baby Gender Predictor. Sounds much easier than the diet and cut off!!

Jodsan, I know that Nickers tried the Jonas method when she was swaying for a girl, but she ended up with a boy. You can read about it in previous threads, Just thought Id let you know. I know that no method is fool proof, but reading that turned me off using it. I hope that if you decide to use it that it works for you.

It all sounds a bit 'out there' Jodsan. Not sure if I would put faith in it... but who knows... there are so many mysteries in life that mankind really has no clue about! I prefer to go with methods I completely umderstand and agree with and that gives me even more faith in success. GL Jodsan.

Still awaiting eggy here. DH gone now so if it doesnt hatch soon I'll be out for this month. Using digital opk's as of yesterday... very exciting... I really like them. Its a shame they are so expensive!!!

Myson - sending you Ovulation vibes.

Myson - sending you Ovulation vibes.

Thanks DG. No sign of eggy coming today... hurry up eggy!!! the swimmers cant wait forever!

[Jodsan]

Yeah, I agree, it's out there but I did have ovary pain on the supposed lunar ovulation day. We'll wait and see.

Myson - Good luck catching the eggy, long live the little swimmers!

AF turned up for me today

My partner told me to stop wasting HPT's and just wait til AF was overdue, but no need to test now.

This cycle I am going to try a 3 day cut off and see if that works.

Thanks everyone, have a good Easter and good luck with TTC..

[myson]

Thanks Jodsan, if it works this time it will most likely be a girl now as last BD was midnight on cd11... ???

Sym, sorry about the BFN. Hugs. GL for next time. Hope your little girl is on the way!

Well, its CD15 today for me. Could have possibly O,ed yesterday but opks did not show any +'s in the last 5 days... so... who knows. Now have to wait for FF confirmation. Will re-attach my chart for second opinions. No W or EW CM either, but I am not an over-producer in this area normally anyway IYKWIM.

Hope you are all well on this glorious looonnggg weekend!

Hi girls,

Myson, if you did O yesterday at CD 14, then it is only 2 1/2 days since BD (apparenty the common O time is between 4-7pm) and the boys live for 3 days so you shoud still be in with a shot. Especially since you should now be more alkaline! Got my fingers crossed for you!

Sym - so sorry AF arrived. Yeah, I think the 3 day cut off is probably a good idea. That's what I was aiming for but I think I O'd a day early so I probalby only ended up with 2 days. Good luck catching the eggy this cycle!!

Well I think I'm actually 7DPO and have some pretty good symptoms, just waiting for that implantation!!!

[myson]

Thanks Jod. So if I did O between 4-7 and if I did O on 14 and we DTD on 11 at midnight than Im looking at about a 65hr wait for the egg. Just scraping in with the three day average for boy sperm... wow, I hope it worked. If not then DH's next week home actually lines up very close to my expected O day, even better than this time. So now its watching for temp rises to confirm the egg and then the dreaded tww...which i am very excited about (ask me again in a week, i will be going crazy by then!)

[Miklaoz]

I am sorry about the BFN Sym, I cannot not imagine how you feel but my warm and fuzzy thoghts go out to you. xx

Myson- Is there anyting else you can do to find out the day you Ovu? I know the OPK get expensive, but if you buy them on line it might work out cheaper. I am confused.. Do you not get the EW? Have you read Shettles Method??? Good book, it helped me alot. Not with falling just the Ovulation part. I had no idea ... (cluuuuuelesssss)

But you get that man of yours to be home when your body says so. I am holding a seat for you on the wagon here....

Jodsan: GL, keep us posted...

Off to bed this is a late one for Mumma 2B
xx
Happy Easter EAT loads of eggs

[myson]

Mik. I dont get a lot in the CM dept. Never have. But I just read today that you dont use the OPK with your FMU. DOH!!!! Thats what I've been doing. Stoopid me. Cos you can miss the surge completely. So I went back in to FF and removed all the opk negatives cos I dont feel they are accurate anymore cos i didnt do it right. And now ff is hinting that i might of O'ed because the conflicting opk readings are gone. But I still have to wait a couple more days for confirmation with temps. So if I did o then im still in with a chance. Wish i knew this before i used so many of the expensive things!!! Im sure I read all instructions very carefully... so either i missed that bit or its not there???

Anyway, time for bed, but I dont think I will sleep well cos we just got home and found a snake INSIDE and we had to kill it. So now I've got the heebiejeebies BIGTIME and Ill probably have nightmares!!!! bbbbrrrrrr.

[Miklaoz]

Jeeze and i was freaking out about a frog by the pool.. Snakes make my skin crawl just thinking about it.

Not much more to add just chceking in to see if anyone had news....

[myson]

There is some news in the ttc 1-6 months thread... but its not my news so im not gonna say it out loud check out whats happening over there!!!!!

[Diamond Girl]

Thanks Myson and hi Mikaloz, Jodsan and Sym. I tested again this morning and .

Thanks everyone here for your support. Now its fingers crossed for a PINKone.

I hope there are many BFPs to come and that you get the little boy or girl that you desire.

[AmandaJ]

Congrats DG, I hope you did get your pink one.

hugs xoxo

Hi everyone, just time for a quick one. Kids are finally over the vomitting bug but now I have tons of washing and work to catch up on. Feeling sad cos today I got EW and I was hoping I was 4 dpo by now but now thinking im probably not...so confusing... anyway, problem is dh left a week ago and wont be back til middle of next month. I hate this roster stuff. So just had to come and have a whinge. Will be back when I feel like there is some hope that I am in a tww worth counting. Thanks guys. seeya.
