I'm getting excited now with all this pregnancy talk! I'm 4dpo and had ewcm today which I didn't get when I was ovulating what does this mean?
With all my previous pregnancies I have felt like I was starting my period and it never came...just checked my knickers a hundred times a day! From about 8dpo I start using my opks as pregnancy tests and when I see a line on there I then use a pregnancy test. Hurry up Sunday!
3girls...looking forward to seeing your confirmation pregnancy test result!
Blessed I'm going to test Thursday. It breaks my heart seeing a BFN, so I need to wait as long as I can. What about you?! I hope we both see two lines this month!
Same here I might even wait til friday if af dosnt show. Not hopeful because of these af cramps :*( r u still cramping?
Good luck me4! Im not sure about the ewcm? R u sure about when u ovulated?
Yep still having cramps. Last night I had this weird pinching cramp type thing that lasted a minute. Really weird, never felt it before.
Congrats 3girls!
Thanks girls!!!! I'm still not believing it until I see a darker line or a digi confirms. I just impulsively took another FRER and didn't see anything. I think if I am pregnant the hormone must be sooooo low (either that or it was an evap). I hate waiting!!!! I'm following all your stories and have my fingers crossed for you all!!
3girl, Oh, so optimistically excited for you!!!
Steph, my dh is the same way. Even dtd every 4 days last month almost killed him. As soon as we were out of the window, he's been taking a break. Lol! He's just too old for this stuff...hope that sways pink for us! (Even though it didn't seem to matter with the last two...)
Hi everyone, I am not new, but new to posting. I have 3 sons and have been here reading and swaying silently after the first boy. Like many I always wanted at least one of each sex. Strangely I always knew I would be a good mom to boys and adored baby boys. I would absolutely have been sad to never have a baby boy. But I also longed to have a girl to share my favorite books and movies with. And I am so obsessed with girl clothes. I could care less about dressing myself fashionably but love love love baby girl clothes. I was a Daddy's girl growing up, but now that I am older I see how important a mom/daughter relationship is. We always get together to gab about everything and I never see my dad. Crazy how things change over time. My dad adored me and was hard on my brothers, but now he gets along better with them Even if I had a tomboy I feel like I could totally have fun with her as I had 2 brothers and no sisters. It is just different with girls.
So, my situation is that I had gotten to the point where I was ready to commit to going high tech next year around July and my husband was pretty much on board. I have a 5 year old, a 2 year old, and a 1 year old. It would have been good timing as far as the boys being able to talk and walk and be more independent. We were so torn because of the cost and the chance of spending the money and not getting pregnant at all. I was going through the old archives from 2009 on InGender and following GreenZelda and Pippi through their high tech journeys. I was so pumped! and ready to meet Dr. Potter! But worried too that I would spend that kind of money and end up with nothing!
So on the 9th of June me and my DH drank too much, the first time in a long time, and while DTD I requested that we not use a condom and he went along with it. The next morning I was horrified. It was so unlike me. I obsess about having a new baby and plan it to the nth degree. I can only guess that having babies on the brain and the fear of IVF cost made me want to just go for a natural.
So here I am in the 2ww and don't know how I feel. Part of me wants to be pregnant and thinks maybe this accident will be my girl, so I am a bit excited. But the other part of me knows that this is a huge lesson to me. I now know with 100% clarity that I don't want to try again naturally. I NEED the girl or nothing at all. If I am not pregnant I will start saving up for IVF/PGD.
I am curious if any of you are considering it yourselves? Why or why not? I never thought I would go there, but now I know I would. So crazy. I just know there is nothing I would rather spend my money on in this life. A daughter would be worth the cost. However, I can't help but think it would be so lovely to have one for free!
girliedreamz - I think DH wanted to BD last night, well he mentioned it but he was also watching the football and I wasnt waiting up. So tonight will be the night unless he is watching football again. I dont see why I should lose sleep just to BD (unless I was ovulating of course!!)
Its only CD9 but I am going to start testing today because I have no idea what is going on with my body at the mo!! Going by last month I could O around monday but I dont want to miss it and 20 tests are £4 so its not expensive.
littlegirlblues - welcome, and hope you get the outcome you want this month, lots of oopsies are girls :) I personally am not going HT because we dont have the money to spend on it plus I will take what god gives me, if I am not meant to have a girl I will be sad but if thats what god has in store for me then so be it.
Wow!! 3 girl sounds like a BFP June has been good so far :)
Blessed mama and seebee hope you guys get your BFPs really soon, when will you both test?
Daisymoooo I missed you!! Please stay and chat!!! Sorry you are feeling sick but good you are combating it with food(are you enjoying being off LE? Please tell me you are!!) any feelings on gender? Are you finding out? Hope its your wee girl!!!
Stephk how far off is your next attempt?
Welcome littlegirlblues! We don't have the money for HT plus my DH does not even know I am swaying so don't think he would be up for HT !! Totally respect your decision though and hope you get your desired outcome!

Littlegirlblues.... I know exactly how you feel. We were on the verge of going high tec. I'd been in touch with the clinics and convinced my dh that this was the way forward. But time was passing so fast and I need to be pregnant before going back to work in August. We discussed swaying and he was 110% infavour of doing this. He didn't like the fact high tec was "unnatural" and the cost was obviously a major factor. I read something online about mothers of boys and for the first ever I felt like if I end up with all boys I'll be ok. My theory is... we have both been strict with the LE diet and hope this is enough to sway, if we end up with all boys then this will be the last one and at least I will have lost weight in the meantime! if it is another boy then I will join a forum for boy mothers to gain some support from the only people who understand.
Currently D5PO...fingers crossed.
kitkat, we didnt manage it last night (he was too busy watching footy) so will have to be tonight. Its only CD9 so not vital at the moment! Going to start OPK testing today.
Oh yes and just to add my DH would never want to do HT, he is tight (with cash!) and would see it as unnatural too. He sees swaying as a little unnatural but he is going along with it.
Good luck little girlblues . I hope u get ur girl that way.
So im 12dpo and af is going to show any minute I can feel it. Feeling so discouraged at the moment. 3 months ttc and still not pregnant I dont get it :(
Swaying and desire is a hard thing to deal with.
When I was prego with DS1 I wanted him to be a boy, but the pee gender test said girl and I almost lost it. When the gender scan said boy I went shopping.
DH and I talked about only having 2 kids so we both wanted the pigeon pair. With DS2 I wanted a girl to complete our family but we had gotten preg before I could do any planning. My IUD fell out a month before he was conceived, my mothers day weekend baby. The weekend he was conceived we ate a lot of food buffets and cheesecake factory.
I planned and swayed for 4mths on diet before trying for 11 cycles for #3 to be a girl. I gave up everything after Christmas and got preg fast so I did sort of expect a boy. I do love him a lot and I did know the risk of having another boy and was open to it. Growing up I always wanted a lot of boys and only 1 girl.
Now that I am getting older and do not want to continue having kids for the rest of my fertility years I am down to my last time. DH really wants a girl for himself and his mom (explained to my older post). I really just want to give him a girl so we can have the chance to raise a daughter. I am still open to another boy and I already have a boys name picked and waiting. I am not going to decided on a girls name, unless they hand me a girl in the delivery room. So far I have picked 3 girls names one from when ds1 was a few month old, for (ds2) and (ds3) my DH's grandma passed a month before ds3 was born and I liked her middle name.
When I told DH that we could try one more time it was decided only one more time. I am young compared to some ladies here (33) but I do not want to get preg passed 35. I am going to continue trying every other month until I am 35 if nothing happens then I am getting my tubes tied, cut, burned, and removed!
With all this in mind I have to open to the chance of another boy. But like the rest of you we are not here to get preg if we are not open to the chance we will get "another" of the same. Even if it means broken hearts.
I just hope swaying works so everyone can have their dream come true!
Amen purple! A baby is a blessing no matter what the gender. I hope we all get our girls but if not atleast well have a beautiful new baby to love on.
Well, nothing on the FRER today. Yesterday must have been a false alarm. Just waiting for AF to come now.
What a bummer 3. Could have been a chemical. Hopefully it will still turn out for you!
Blessed I'm right there with you. I was weak and tested this morning. Still a BFN :( I don't know what's going on with my body.
12dpo today and waiting for AF. She is due tomorrow and I'm dreading it! So I know how u girls are feeling! When are you all testing again?? I've had some more spotting today so I really feel that I'm out but I'm excited to hear about you ladies!
Oh no 3! Im sorry :( I hope ur bfp shows up soon
Seabee I still have faith that ull c a bfp soon. And I feel u about our bodies acting up when were ttc :(
Girl dreaming im gonna test on friday only if af hasnt showed. I really hope ur not out
Rosie u said u got a bfp 1st month trying evertime. Thats awesome!!! If u dont mind me asking how did u do it? Did u only do 1 attempt or multiple???
My first was multiple...The second was 2 attempts the third was multiple with a cut off and my loss was one attempt and this pregnancy was 1.5 attempts. Lol I am just extremely extremely fertile so I worry I can't have a girl because of it.
Being very fertile is a great problem to have! Haha and I dont think that has anything to do with it. My cousins husband just has to look at her and they get pregnant, she has 3 girls! Im sorry for ur loss :( im hoping for a healthy beautiful girl for u
Oh blessed! Thank you for sharing about your cousin. That gives me hope! I really hope you see a bfp soon!
Sorry for the bfn!
Is everyone here hoping for a girl??? It seems all of the post I see are from boy moms. That would be cool if everyone gets a bfp and then a girl!
I'm usually fertile myself. DS1 was a BC baby. DS2 was a 2nd attempt. Hopefully I'm still the same this time around.
I'm really fertile as well! Both kids were oopsies after not using a condom two times! This will be my 3rd cycle attempting so I think my fertility has been decreased, but there are plenty of girl moms that get pregnant first try so don't give up hope.
Just a quick stop in as I'm on nightshift. I think I'm pretty fertile. I just think dh's little swimmers aren't such great quality. First dd was conceived first month trying. Second dd we weren't trying long, third dd was first month trying, dd#4 (mine and dh's first child together) took a little longer but I believe it was primarily poor timing. Yet, I haven't conceived a boy. Point being, you can get girls when you fall pregnant easily.

I certainly don't consider myself fertile - my boy took 3 cycles of perfect timing and multiple attempts. God knows how long this time will take. It's been 6 months and on my 4th cycle now.
Rosie, congrats on your pregnancy!! Yes, I think it was a chemical. I definitely saw a line yesterday and my period is a day late so I'm pretty sure that's what happened. This cycle was very wonky anyway, and when I saw the line yesterday for some reason I couldn't feel excited.
Thanks 3! I am hoping this is my sticky pink bean.
I think your intuition was guarding you. So sorry it didn't work out. My fingers are crossed for you for next cycle!
My first 2 were conceived quickly. I wasnt even trying with my first boy! If anything hopefully taking longer to conceive means it will b a girl once we finally do. Lol now im just making things up! Fx for every1!
So sorry 3girl :( hugs to you
So sorry 3girl! I am going to have to lurk around to keep an eye one everyone's progress in the coming months, lol. I want you all to get your BFPs too!

It's such a squinter I put it in negative. It's barely there. I'm going to get a first response when DH gets home. These only detect hcg after period is past due. Not going to get excited until I see a strong line though :)
Woohoo Seabee you are totally going to see a positive on the frer!!
well just done another clearblue o test and ive gone from negative yesterday to high this morning and now at peak, didnt think it would work as quick as that, i have got stomach cramps aswel so im going to bd tonight aswel as i did last night just to up my chances, oooo so excited, i pray after 5 boys i so get my little girl to stick this time xx
Good luck!
