Atomic you have GOT to read what this lady at just mommies wrote regarding diet!!! LMAO

My DS3 is living proof timing does NOT matter ;) lol

I let that timing aspect go.. I knew I just had to.

I didn't DTD until my postive OPK and even after it... so I was VERY close to O with this one!

I'm kicking myself in the butt for not dtd just one more day....I really wanted to BD on O day & I really thought I did! But FF looks like its going to put O a day later than I thought. I just hope me laying with my hips skyward for an hour did the trick. LOL

For what it's worth.. I laid completely still after BDing almost an hour.. but got up to slip on my - ion bracelet ;)
then laid back down..all that time equaled an hour hehe
I HOPE this is your month Beadin! :HH:

I hate reading things like that because I can't correct the entire Internet, I'm jsut one person LOL.

I SERIOUSLY doubt she's a nutritionist because she would have learned in school that the pH theory of diet and cancer is complete baloney. She almost sounds like she's selling something, to me.

I have 3 boys and a girl born against her timing advice and have always had a very regular cycle, so there ya go. ;)

BUT, a lot of what she says is true AND it's a lot of what Atomic says, too. She is constantly discouraging people from worrying about the ph thing and will tell you that the acid base balance HAS to be in check or you can actually die.
The trivers willard theory is about maternal condition - NOT about what foods you eat. Good maternal condition (optimal nutrition) is good for creating boys. Poor condition (moms who are malnourished either temporarily by limiting food intake or overweight - either works, however it's much easier to gain rather than lose weight and that is why Atomic recommends LOSING over gaining) yields more girls.
I guess in a crazy round about way, this chick really is working on getting the boy she desires first and she doesn't even realize how or why. LOL.

Just to clarify, I don't exactly say that the acid-base balance has to be in balance or you'll die, it's that your body itself always keeps your body pH balanced and the only time it ever goes out of balance is when there is something very seriously wrong with you. If it isn't fixed immediately, then you will die. Nothing you do via diet or lifestyle can change your body's pH, your body controls its own pH unless something has gone very much awry.

I got both my boys, dtd on +opk. even though diet is totally different this time around, I am still afraid to let go of the timing factor?

That's why posts liek this make my hair go gray because it makes people worry and question their sway. I PROMISE i got 3 of my 4 boys 2-3 days or even more before O (that DS 1 was as stubborn as a sperm as he has been for the last 21 years LOl) and then Suzy was late at night the day before I Oed (pos. OPK.)

:agree:;)

So just for clarification purposes (I know, call me stupid) what might a cut off do? and how MIGHT it sway girl?? is it b/c sperm count is lowered, by waiting around for the egg, most will die off, before they meet the egg? is it really true that girl sperm is slower and lives longer? ugh, I don't know why it's so hard for me to let go of the timing factor:(
