+opk?

[Faithinpink]

Thanks FaithinPink. When are you planning to do your attempt?

Hey 1moregirl we're aiming for April... Fx i can get pregnant it takes a while with me

[1moregirl]

I, when I can persuade DH (because I'm not easily defeated), will just give it one go and will pray to God that's all it takes because DH may not allow any more tries. My heart yearns for one more healthy pregnancy and baby (preferably a girl, but that's not the be all and end all) yet sometimes my head (or at least part of it) says "wake up and smell the coffee and give up on the idea of one more baby". Tracie - maybe try one cycle with one try and if that doesn't work then go to e4d. Good luck to you. I hope you get that little sister for your daughter (I really hope I can too).

Faithinpink - I hope you get your little girl too Hun and a fast BFP in April. Sending you some of my pink dust.

Thank you 1moregirl , I long for a daughter with all my heart and soul , I love all my boys but just wanna try my hardest without stressing myself out to much one last time...if I have another boy I will still be at peace because it's Gods will... The Lord will give you what you need , not always what you want xx

[Traci25]

I hope so too!! What a blessing that would be!! I'm gonna try this month and test w opk twice a day and try temping I am horrible at it! I always forget until 730am!

[1moregirl]

Traci - I was really good at temping last year when I got BFP. Would always set my alarm for 7am and take it straight away. But I have been slack and need to start back up again as it really does give you and FF more info to help pinpoint O successfully. I'm going to aim setting my alarm for 6.30am this time and take it then. Plus aiming for attempt now next cycle or the one after, WHEN (not if, because it will happen) I persuade DH.

Faith - always the chance for link to happen Hun. I have a sister who had three boys and they thought they were done but then decided to do a bit of a sway and conceived their little girl, after 3 boys. Another example, my Mum has a non-identical twin sister. My Mum had four of us (all girls) and my Aunty had four girls and went back a 5th time and had a boy. That's just 2 examples from my family but sooo many more. I will be praying hard for you Hun because, even though boys are beautiful too and a blessing, after 4 of them you really deserve a little pinkie pie. I love my boys to bits and they really are Mummy's boys but every Mummy should have at least one little princess. Xx

Hi there Anchor. Is it due to your age that your choosing the egg donor option? I don't know much about that option although I've read of some celebs going that way when they are older. I am having trouble getting DH to agree to one more natural try let alone egg donors. Lol! I hope your DH comes around soon.

I'm just OLD. LOL. DE is someone else's egg and DH's sperm. Not sure if even I am okay with it at this point, just thrilled to possibly have another option.

Hello

New member intro.....

I am 39 and have four boys 14,12,11,9 and OH and I are going to have one final shot at a girl.....

Very nervous due to my age and risks of birth defects - have read the mammoth thread on swaying for a girl but it is information overload.

At my age am I better just aiming for a healthy baby or do we play the sway game?

Husband has Alpha 1 antytripsin deficiency so has a very high sperm count which I think is going to be a challenge to sway - anyone have any experience of this ?

[atomic sagebrush]

Hi and welcome MrsFour!! Fellow mom of 4 boys here.

Try not to overthink the fertility/birth defects idea. Much of that is scaremongering. I had my 4th boy at 39 and then my daughter when I was 42 and both are perfectly healthy. My last pregnancy was my easiest one and the birth was a piece of cake!

You absolutely can still sway, I would advise you to follow the atomic fertility diet in this thread, 5 from the top, the variation for pink swayers http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html and also up folate intake to 2000 mcg a day and add in 400 mg coq10 (ubiquinol is best) as these may help you make better eggs.

For hubby, I would not give him any sway supplements or diet. he needs to do only what is appropriate for his health. If you are truly worried about sperm count I would ahve him do what we call "hurry up FR" - when it comes time for attempt, have him release once, dump that release, and then DTD again as soon as he is able to, using only second batch for insemination. Within an hour if possible, within 3 still good, within 6 is the outer limit. If you get to 6 hours and still can't complete the transaction LOL that's still ok, you can still have one attempt, it's just that the hurry up FR may not add much at that point.

If he can't do that, jsut have him do regular release every 2-4 days but have only one attempt. Most of us have our one attempt on the day of positive OPK (day before O) but if you prefer you can do it with a cutoff. Timing doesn't sway, but many people really do want to include it. That is fine, just be sure that you have only the one attempt at first because one attempt really does sway (for reasons we can only guess at)
