Bec what a fun sounding party!!! I hope you had a great time! And I know lots of us are from IG ... I am. I joined there in September 2010. Thought we were going to TTC last fall but we kept moving it around! And FWIW I was always talking like I was pg before I actually was, LOL!

Cheeky YAY!! Your timing sounds like it will be perfect!!

So Spicy you will try this cycle, that's great! And what a great perk to be able to take the sperm to a lab! Hooray for nice straight swimmers .... FX you get your BFP this month!

iluv I'm glad you're back! Did you have a relaxing time? CD9 so the countdown begins.... so exciting! FX your cycle behaves this month and you get pregnant!

Thanks B! Not relaxing per-say but a good time. We went to our friends yesterday for DHs b-day and got to totally chill, so that was great. On CD12 and DH didn't want to wait so DTD this morning and I hope to hold him off until O but we'll see. All current signs point to O on CD14 or CD15 so I think the thyroid meds and getting that FertileCM out of my system are getting my cycles back on track so I'm thrilled.

So Stoked about your BFP, B. BFP on your first go this time is so great. I think I confused you and Lola last cycle. Were you happy w/ how your attempt went for this BFP, r u feeling good about your sway?

But when I pulled Honor into my arms I fell instantly in love. I wish I could have enjoyed my pg more and feel I would probably have... I would have had that "hope" to keep me cheerful, then I think I'd have just been smitten with my new babe. BUT... having saif that, lol, I agree about not being able to NOT find out. If Lord willing we conceive again I will probably find out again. I hope after my experience with Honor I will not have such horrible GD. But DH absolutely wants to know with all our kids. He doesn't mind not telling me, lol, but I think that would drive me nuts. So it's just really a hard thing. In many ways I think not knowing is better, but the temptation is still so great :p

Lola - I think what you sais about envisioning both scenarios (boy or girl) and coming to a peace with either is very good. One thing that did help me w/ GD and anxiety was knowing I had both girl and boy names I really loved.

ZB - FX that your BD went well! I usually had 2-3 days of EWCM, actually O'ing on the last day of it. Do you usually have one day or more? I agree w/ TTC5 that with the open cervix it sounds like things were ripe and ready :D

Begonia - I always live off milk in the early days when nothing sounds good :p

TTC5 - I am keeping FX for you!!

Cheeky - wooooo hope you had a good time with DTD ;) Tons of blue dust coming your way.

iluv - hopefully the thyroid meds work for you, I know they are helpful to a lot of mamas.

Spicy - glad to hear DH's boys are swimming strong :D

I think that's true about finding names you really like to help. Finding a girl name I love right now and DH agrees on has really helped me come to peace more if I end up having a girl and w/ 2 boys in a row I would think a girl for me is more statistically probable. It seems small but I think you are so right.

I'm totally confident I will O this cycle so I think things are on track again and that the meds are helping. I'm totally stoked.

Welcome Layla!

On CD12 and just confirmed a smiley face OPK. I have no idea if this is Day 1 or Day 2 of +opk since I was too busy and didn't take OPK yesterday as I planned. I guess I'll do another OPK tomorrow and find out. Wow, I didn't expect to O early at all, although, CM has been good for a couple of days.

I guess us DTD this morning was OK but really only took Mucinex right before and did no other sway stuff. CM was watery. We finished in the missionary position, bummer. :) I guess we should DTD tonight or tomorrow morning also, to up our chances. I just started charting my BBT on FF as of 7/1.

Hi ladies
It is really interesting reading your posts and not feeling like the only "lunatic" who is trying to control gender of future child by diet. I have only told a few of my close friends about my swaying, with others when gender is discussed I say stuff like "apparently salty foods and eating breakfast everyday makes boys" and they all just laugh it off giving me an example each of such and such who always/never eats breakfast/sweets and has opposite of my theory. So really glad to be here to exchange ideas. I have still not decided whether we will find out either. DH never wants to find out and I always do. So we did not find out with DD1 but did with DD2. I was not concerned about gender with DD2 as I already got my girl and never really cared about having a son much, so I was happy that DD1 would have a sister. I know DH really wants a boy so maybe we will wait to find out this time. I will find it sooo hard though. I only had girl names for DD1 and DD2. We could not agree to boy names with DH. This time we have agreed to two boys names (yes already I know I need a BHP that sticks first) and have not to a girl's name. I think we will leave it like that so maybe we will end up again only with the gender that we have found a name for.
Look forward to chating with you all...

Ladies I have been concerned about this moon theory that full moon ovulation = boys and new moon = girls. I have worked out that both my girls were conceived during new moon. I can see from your posts that you all seem to be ovulating around the new moon. I hope I can prove the theory wrong as I cannot change my cycle that is when I ovulate and get my period. I would really appreciate it if you could work out when your previous children were conceived using this link:
http://kalender-365.de/lunar-calendar.php
Just a rough estimate would be great. The way I worked it out was by remembering the due date for my girls, then counting back 40 weeks from my due date and adding another 2 weeks as I usually ovulate at days 14-15. If you could all be bothered to do this I would be SOOOOO greatful. I will ask the pink thread to do the same as well.

Iluv- Yay! sounds like things are on the up :) FX this is your cycle you sure have been through the wringer you def deserve it!

Layla- Welcome :) and Yes unfortuately my two girls do fit the new moon theory...and I did just ovulate in the newmoon only a day or so into it though :) Hoping the accumulated ions from before plus the other positive ions i surrounded myself with will sway should i get that BFP....
