new member and seeking some input (had an oops)
Hi Ladies! I've been reading/lurking for a few weeks as I prepare for a girl sway this fall. I have a beatiful 15 month old little boy and would love a little girl, would be thrilled either way but thought it would be fun to try. In the past few weeks I had started taking vitex to regulate my cycles (believe it has helped), and started taking cranberry, folic acid, and acidphilus daily. i started taking calcium/mag but stopped after reading it probably doesn't help. I have tried to cut back on protein and fat, and dropped from 125to 120lb. I've skipped breakfast pretty consistently and drink CL daily, didn't stop drinking coffee or stick to LE diet as I should as I had planned to "kick it into high gear" when closer to TTC. So here is my " OOPS"... Thursday 7/25 dh and I DTD with a condom (went off BCP in May) which was refusing to stay on. Dh ended up pulling out and releasing outside my V but closer than I would like. I ran to the bathroom and wiped what I could away...felt we were probably safe. BBT say I ovulated Saturday 7/27. 6-7 days past O I am now spotting brown (which has happened every time we have conceived- only one has stuck- a few others later got AF but pretty positive sperm met egg.) My question is... do you think my pre-sway prep along with the pull out might be okay for a girl? If it matters, We used astroglide (no CM), I did have a big O (darn) and I had a cold the weekend of Ovulation.
I have a bit of an obsessive personality and had hoped to prepare more before an attempt. looking for some reassurance I didn't totally botch this up! Thanks!
