Hi everyone!
I'm completely new to the site as of last week :-) The information here is so awesome. I've always been a little put off of swaying tactics because it seemed like it was just a diet change mixed with a little magic lol, but after having had two boys and finally getting DH to agree to try for a third baby, I came back to google ready to try any kind of magic and moon-dancing necessary to possibly give me my little girl. Luckily, I found Gender Dreaming and some real, scientific information that I can feel confident about following. Thank you, Atomic and NBP and everyone else who makes this site possible :-)
As for me... As I said, I have two boys, one is 4.5 and the other is 1.5 years. My first took 18 months to conceive, and my second, 14 months (with 2, possibly three chemicals). Both times we sought HT help after more than a year, and both times we conceived naturally the very month that we determined our HT plan. I think stress is a very big factor for both DH and me.
This time, I have a limited time frame in which DH is comfortable conceiving a third (he will be 40 in May, and I am 38 in September) and I hope to be pregnant before next March, starting immediately. Due to going somewhat HT, we did get tests done and we know that DH has had less than optimal SC for conceiving both boys. I can only assume that not much has changed, so while I am hoping to sway for a girl, I don't plan to try to limit our fertility while doing it if I can avoid it. For both my previous pregnancies I used progesterone supplements to maintain the pregnancy, although for my second pregnancy my blood work didn't fully support the theory that I needed it, I have had a consistently short LP even with B6 and with my history of chemical miscarriages it was decided that it couldn't hurt to use it.
So long story short- I have 12 months to conceive, and my first attempt will be next week (eek!). I have a short LP but consistent (if slightly later than average) ovulation. I've eaten a boy friendly diet all my life, and I have been losing weight the last 6 months with a responsible, boy-friendly diet and occasional exercise and am now at a BMI of 22. I am Type-A and very susceptible to stress and prone to pride in my successes, even small ones lol. Since I don't want to mess with fertility directly, I'm not planning to time BD or abstain. Rather, I think I will focus on the TWH, testosterone and blood sugar theories, and throw in some Vitex to help with that LP. I know these aren't ideal circumstances, what with starting a new diet immediately before TTC, but it's highly unlikely I will conceive right away anyway ;-)
Any other thoughts are welcome :-) I look forward to getting to know the awesome people on this board and hope you can help me change from all-blue to mostly-pink hehe.
Thanks!
