    Thanks for the reply! We aren't quite trying yet, I want to start ttc in october. That way I can monitor myself well till then and figure out my exact ovulation dates and stuff. I really want a girl since I have three boys so I want to be sure I am not ovulating early or such this time.

    Anyway thank you very much again!! Your reply really helped me figure things out.

    Hi

    You might like to get to know the ladies in the pre-TTC chatter or in the gender selection threads.

    Good luck when you start trying

    Ooops... in all that I forgot to tell you that the best way to learn your cycle is to take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed. A lot of programs are out there to help you with charting, I use fertilityfriend.com

    Thanks I will go check out over there as well! I have heard a lot about BBT but don't know much about it...I would have to buy a special thermometer right? Or do I just use our regular digital one? Thanks again!

    I bought a digital thermometer with two decimal places. You can even buy them quite cheap off ebay. If you check out the fertilityfriend website they have a lot of info on charting, enough to send your mind spinning! Its great to be able to see what your body is doing during your cycle, and I learnt a lot about my mood swings and libido doing it. It was a valuable exercise for us. DH even knows now when I am going to be cranky and when to stay away, LOL.

    Good luck .
