new TTC girl

[lemon2012]

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum but I have been thinking and trying to conceive a girl after two active and cute little boys. I am on the older side so that is a concern as the clock is ticking.
I have to formulate a plan this month but I desperately want to get pregnant!
Hope our dreams come true!

Welcome and good luck. I have two active boys too and I love them to pieces but want a little lady as well.

Hello!
Yes, what is up with the monkeys!!!
I definitely need the support from people like you!

Hi Lemon! I can't get onto IG either! I miss hearing how everyone is going. Good to see you on here though, and Auroara! All the best for your plan and attempt.

PEONY!
My stress saver..lol!
How are you? One more month until your attempt right? What is up with the monkeys!!!
I am so curious if illundgurl is pregnant!
I am surrounding myself in lavendar....lol. Candles, body wash, laundry soap, even hand sanitizer! I am convinced I can only conceive a boy but I do really want another baby. My 3 year old has a cherub face and a monkey personality and he is no longer a baby.................aggh! I am getting older and want another one.
Anyone else feel the same way?
So, I have to figure out a way to get pregnant this month...so no douching and close to o. But, still confused about how to up the odds of girl.
The diet is too hard. The more I limit the more I cheat. I weigh less than 120 so it is not like I have a lot to lose. Any suggestions for the best things to omit. Don't say red meat....we hardly eat red meat but it is Sunday and we are having a roast! I won't eat a lot!
I always drink CL for both boys!
The sodium is the big one....I am limiting that a lot. NO process food and no salt on anything! However, food seems to have a lot of sodium...never even noticed before.
I was thinking of one time attempt 2 days before o. It is the same for DS 2 but I know it was super late with him and probably was more like 1.5 day cut off. In addition, I would try o plus 12 if we can swing it.
I am just not sure about having the spermies in there after o...I think you need them before o to make it count.
I am worried about a one time attempt but I see a lot of people with 3 and 2 day attempts with boys.
Any suggestions?
I really do want to get pregnant...I can't wait to tell the kids...they will be so excited.
That being said, I am really worried of not being able to get pregnant. You always think...what if this swaying is ruining my chances of a third? I know we waited a year of dtd 4 days ahead (DUMB!!!) and the paranoia just got worse and worse! I was convinced that everyone had a girl 3 days out! Now I am not sure but I am fairly sure I am alkaline and have a high testerone. And, I have had PCOS!

Thanks ladies! I appreciate having someone to talk to...the few friends I have spoken to about this probably wonder my fixation on timing....it is not proven! And, my poor DH is trying his best.

PEONY...I am on the swayers over 35 board as well!

[PeonyPrincess]

Great, I'll swing past there and say hi. Even if I'm not quite in the correct age bracket!

Lemon, Aurora, PEONY! ahhh I am so happy to see you IG girls! I finally came here today because I am desperately looking for Jonas answers. Side note: I see the diet on this site is MUCH different from IG! I haven't even started a diet yet! We weren't going to sway until Feb but thought we might give it a go this coming weekend if Jonas looks good. Problem is, no Jonas calendar! Was hoping PEONY could help me! :)

[auroara78]

Personally I am beginning to think timing does not matter as much anymore, as numerous studies have shown mostly equal numbers being concieved different days...for me, I'm going to opt for 2-3 day cutoff, maybe even 1-2 day cutoff to align with my Jonas dates for Dec....also doing a combo of LE/IG diet...as far as LE goes trying to keep things on low side, calories around 1500-1800, going to be losing weight, and IG part is diary and low meat low potaote, etc. I'm still doing calicum supps, but instead of cranberry, I've been using baby aspirin. I'm going to use Rephresh to keep my PH at 4.5 at all times, so I don't have to worry about it (I do feel like stress can sway boy, so I'm going to try to chill out, this will be hard!)

hope this info helps

Hi our 3 sons....:)
Yes, we need this support through this insanity!
I have gone to astro.com...let me know if you need help finding your way to the lunar calendar.
I paid for astro elite...but jonas is 4 days after o date...how the heck will that work? I am just happy that this month lines up for girl!
O day is next week....shld I try frequent? Abstain?
I am panicking about that...probably more than timing!

Finally, someone saying timing does not work!
DH is going crazy trying to get me to agree..but, as I have said before I know too many people where timing was everything and then I believe it. I read something else, I believe it. I am a personally swayed either way so it makes it so hard to sway pink...can't figure it out!
I had DS 2 after a one time 1.5 cut off....but lots of salt in diet.
My lunar is girl this month and next...you?
How are you working out the jonas dates?
If I o 4 days before jonas, how can I get pregnant?
I have to give up some of the extra calc and greek yogourt...I think I am increasing testosterone!
How much rephresh? how often?
Next week is my attempt....any advice!?
