Hi Girls,
I'm completely new here, but I'm hoping I will feel at home.
I'm 24 years old and a mother of three, well, that is - I'm a mother of a baby angel called Lily and two healthy bouncy boys! I love my boys more than anything, but I long so much for a little girl that I ache.. I could physically cry at the thought of how much I want a little girl.
When I had my second son I had no idea about swaying, I was just sure that I would have a girl because, naively maybe, I figure my mum had 5 girls, so why shouldn't I have one!? Besides, I'd already had one little girl without doing anything special! So when I was told I was having another little boy I was happy, but still there were dark moments when I tried to convince myself they were wrong and i was in fact having a little girl. But of course he was a boy - I'm sorry to say that when he first was put into my arms it was with mixed emotions. I loved him, but he wasn't the baby I felt I wanted - thankfully those feeling very quickly vanished and I feel head over heels in love with my little guy.
Today I wouldn't want it differently! He is the cutest little thing on the planet - but it doesn't change the ache I feel.
My partner has agreed to try for another. But at the same time as being excited, I'm terrified. What if this one is another boy? What if I don't cope this time? Will I love a girl more than the boys? Is it really fair to want a girl when I got two boys, what if the boys grow up thinking I wanted them less!? And what if there is some sort of bit karma thing going on where the more I wish for a girl the more I'm setting myself up for another boy? I know I'm being silly..
The worst thing is that if I mention it to anyone that really I would like a girl they just kind of snub me and say with my medical history I should be grateful just to have the boys I got - which I AM! (I've got PCOS, had 5 miscarriages, one stillbirth and then my two boys).
Secretly, I'm hoping for twins. I know a lot of people frown upon wishing for twins because it's considerately more risky than a singleton, but I would love two boys, two girls - complete balance! But I know my partner will not want more after this one, which I respect.
As I am a complete novice and have only just discovered this site and the LE diet, I hope you wont mind me asking a few questions!?
I'm starting to do more relaxing things - like yoga and pilates. Can things like this sway? Like wise, will my weight sway? I'm overweight, trying to loose weight.. but it's proving a bit difficult, but I'm hoping the diet will help!
As I already mentioned I'm going to try the LE diet - how soon do I need to start it? Before I start TTC? Is it still OK to take the vitamins sold for women trying to TTC?
But I also need to take Clomid, to induce ovulation as I don't ovulate naturally - neither of my boys where conceived on it, but after my youngest was born my PCOS has worsened significantly. I have charted my periods for over a year now and haven't ovulated once, sadly. I also take metformin, which I have already read sways pink - but does Clomid sway any thing?
Also, do you need to worry about ovulation time on the LE diet or does it not matter when you have sex as long as you adhere to the diet?
Will you please pray for us?! I don't normally pray, but recently I have found myself begging, praying and wishing for a baby girl.
Thank you for taking your time to help a novice pink-swayer. :kissy:
