Hi ladies!
I posted a few months back about how DH and I had an unplanned oopsies and are now expecting a baby in March. I was thankful for a little surprise blessing, but also devastated that I wasn't able to do our full on boy sway next year. In fact, we were using NFP to PREVENT getting pregnant, so I basically kicked DH away during my fertile window. We DTD cycle day 12 and I didn't even receive a positive ovulation test until CD 16!! We've used NFP a lot, so we were sure we were in the clear. Two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I swore up and down this would be a girl because of the fact that we were nowhere close to ovulation and didn't even have that great of mucus when we DTD. Not to mention that I just had DD just 4 months ago!! So I thought I'd be depleted, BUT after having DD I also made it a point to gain some healthy weight back, increased my calories, and introduced weight lifting into my daily workouts. I was also on a prenatal and a probiotic. So I'm not sure if those things helped, but I thought it'd be interesting to share, because this will be my 3rd boy, and the only time I've conceived a beautiful DD so far has been when I was actually really skinny and losing weight. I was almost unhealthy skinny when I got pregnant with her. Anyway, just wanted to share my story!! Because timing did NOT turn out how I thought it would've for me in my case. I'm still in shock that we're having a boy, but maybe some of those other life style habits I had contributed and had more pull than timing! Thanks for reading! I just really needed to share this for some who might be in the same situation as me.
