Any additional comments? Popped up with pillow for 15 min
Any relevant attempt details? For ovulation, charted basel temperature, CM, and OPK for over a year so can get a hang of the Ovulation date.
Did you do anything with Ions? NA
Moon Phase during conception? New Moon
Did you use any Old Wives Tales? Tried Alkaline douche in past attempts but didn't work (no infection either). Did not use alkaline douche this month. Not sure if it was the reason the past attempts did not succeed.
Things that make me feel great about my sway: My diet change with increased calories intake by a lot and managed to gain weight (I was otherwise a very LE person). Drank so much alkalizing liquid. Cut down running and added weights. Husband changed to a new job which has been less stressful as compared to the time when we TTC DD1.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Missionary position. Did not manage an attempt after O. During the ovulation TTC week, we had to wake up at night to deal with some emergency so my basel temperature spike might have been slightly off for a day or two, though I was able to chart in OPK and CM and noted general spike trend so should be still around the time.
Things worth mentioning: I've been following this site and Atomic's advice for over a year. Superstitious as it seems, I also followed the Chinese gender calendar to conceive in the boy friendly month. Finger crossed now at week 5.
Thank you everyone for the advice posted in Gender Dreaming!
