I am feeling good about this months sway. I got my positive opk his morning. I dtd 2 days ago, this morning and I am hoping to dtd again tonight, and maybe tomorrow morning for good luck. I might also dtd every second day until F is due in case I am a late o person. I think I might be because according to the o predictors on the Internet I should have had my o on Saturday.
Good luck everyone! Plenty of blue dust. I need to bathe in it. I already have two beautiful daughters.
Wow this thread is so busy these days. Just wanted to wish luck and blue dust to all trying this month.
I had a horrible dream last night where I was giving myself an ultrasound and I couldn't find this little mans penis. And then everyone had a look and told me sometimes boys don't have one cos he still had balls so was definately not a girl. Pregnancy dreams can be mad.
Loving those crazy dreams Pearl:rofl:
I know. But at least I had a great nights sleep last night. Inspite of the crazy dreams or maybe because of them.
How are you doing ELP.
Lol pearl I reemember my crazy pregnancy dreams!! Don't worry I'm sure he's all boy with all the boy parts! how's it feeling knowing you got yourself a little boy on the way?
Good luck ladies...this is your month PoP! I've MIA lately, this TTCing is really starting to take it's toll on me. I don't need blue dust...just send me your baby dust!
Anchor I kind of know how you are feeling. I miscarried in early October after a few months of ttc. I couldn't get pregnant after so we had to take a few months off. We had to for my job but I also needed it for my sanity. I am trying to be optimistic this time. It's such an emotional experience that I really am hoping for a healthy baby. A boy would be a bonus!
Good luck everyone! Sending you all baby dust because I don't have blue dust lol. I know how you feel anchor, I TTC for 6 cycles last year and gave up as I was going insane and it was taking over my life. So this will be my 7th attempt even if its my first in a while.
Got a smiley and a peak on my CBFM this morning.....OMG so excited!!!
Just curious.. How soon after have/can people get pregnant after miscarrying? My sister in law just went thru a miscarrage during xmas :-(
Huds sorry for your SIL's loss.
You can get pregnant before your 1st AF after a miscarriage. My SIL did after a loss at 11 weeks and didn't realise she was pregnant again until after 8 weeks. She had a DD.
Afy it still doesn't feal real. I was buying a really cute newborn boy set on Friday and I had DD with me and the store assistant asked me if it was for me. If I was having a boy. I told her it was indeed for me. And she told me that I was one very blessed woman to have one of each. I really do feel like one of the luckest women in the world. But I also told her that I wasn't planning on stopping there as that is the expectation of everyone now. One of each, you can now hang up your uterus.
Aww bless that's really cute! Enjoy every minute of it! does DD know shes expecting a little brother? I love baby shopping I'm going to have to control myself this time lol! I can imagine how unreal it must feel buying a blue set! It's nice for DD to have company it's one of the reasons why I'm TTC. Blue would be a bonus but just a healthy bubba.Quote:

Knowing myself I start feeling broody when they come to the toddler stage, can't help looking at baby clothes and getting emotional lol,how many children would you like to have if you don't mind me asking?
How long were you on the diet for ?
Huds sorry to hear about the M/C.
Does anyone know the best time of day to exercise without lowering blood sugar? I have to work out early in the morning so I drink some lemon water and eat nuts before lifting weights or using the treadmill. Then I have a protein shake immediately following and some oatmeal 20 minutes later then a banana 20 minutes after that. I have read conflicting stories about working out in the morning. Most articles said it temporarily raised blood sugar but a few said it lowered it. Does anyone know what's accurate?
I would love at least 4. That is what we have agreed on at the min with a possibility of a no 5 (depending on how things go in the future). We are both from larger families and love a full house.
I was officially on the full diet since the end of last June and started TTC in August. Got my BFP on the 3rd cycle. I had been doing research for a while before then and was eating in more boy friendly way but holding my weight not gaining on the months before that
It's nice to see that there are still people who want large families. I actually like 4 kids too DH use to say 5 now he wants 3 but nothing is for sure we will see how it goes! I wish I'd never stayed on so long I do feel the pounds coming on, even though I've cut down on the bread etc I just think its the constant eating that's made me put the weight on! I'm
I know in getting crazy because my first attempt is coming shortly but everyone around me is getting the gender they want doing nothing. I feel like I don't usually have good luck and this won't go my way. Anyone else have those feelings?
Kiki, I feel the SAME exact way as you do. We MC last month at 10 weeks and though I would still really love to have a boy to have one of each, we overall just want another healthy baby. I feel like I am doing very minimal swaying, anyway, but whatever is meant to happen...will. Good luck ladies!
I feel the exact same way too. Like I will be the only person on here who won't get a boy. I just haven't had that luck. I have been on swaying boards since TTC #3 and it was always me who got the girl again. Everyone having #5 got an opposite finally except me when I had DD#5.
Omg, that is so going to be me PoP. Everyone I know who has 4 girls had a boy for their 5th and I just KNOW I will get a 5th girl when I finally decide I am not too terrified to try.
I know how you feel!! I couldn't believe it when literally everyone else got their desired gender on #5 and I was the only one left with all one gender. I felt like such a loser lol.Quote:

Thanks, you too! Although I have a while before I start ttc. Probably sometime around May 2014. Btw, how was going from 4 to 5? The odd numbers were easier for me so far, but I feel like 5 is just so many... lol.Quote:

Wow, that's intense. I thought my 4 were close. My closest gap were my last who are 18 months apart. I actually like that gap and would probably try for that for 5 and 6. I guess if I can do 4 I can do 5... Not yet though. I need a break. Haha.Quote:

I finally feel like I have it down and it seems so much healthier than before. I am eating more calories but healthier food. Before it was low calorie, diet coke, processed low-fat snack.
I'm sorry others feel this way but it makes me feel better to know I'm not alone. PoP were you on a different website with your other sways?
I'm very jealous of you ladies with big families. DH wants no more than two. I'm trying to push for three but if the next one is another DD he won't try again for sure. He is obsessed with our DD but couldn't handle a house full. Plus he has always dreamed of having a DS and I want him to have that since I got the girl I wanted.
So is 6 your limit or would you go for more than 6? 6 is it for me no matter what the gender, I think it's the max I can cope with or afford (more so house size and car size then daily living expenses).Quote:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd stop at 6. I think it's a good number. Not sure I could handle more. And if I have 6 girls, I won't regret it. It'll hurt hearing it's a girl 2 more times but in the long run, I want my kids to have a lot of siblings like I do because I think it's really special and I really really love it now as an adult.Quote:

Yeah I don't mind if I end up with 6 girls as I just so want a new little baby. But it will hurt knowing that no matter how hard I try to change everything I just can't make a boy!Quote:

Are you gearing up to try this month?
Wow I feel like my testosterone is rising. I am finding I can't read through too many posts here some days because some comments made by some people just make me angry. (not here as in this forum, but the board in general). LOL....looks like it's working!
Would anybody know what's the max amount of vitamin d we can take?
I'm 3DPO today. I'm just going through the motions these days. Time is not on my side! DH and myself are booked at a fertility clinic in 2 weeks...he is less than enthusiastic about having to provide a "sample" at the clinic. So we really gave it our all this month, and he was totally on board...maybe that will be our magic bullet ;)Quote:

I'm supposed to o on Saturday so I wanted to hold of on dtd for 3-4 days to build up his sperm but now I'm wondering if we should do it today just in case and then again on Saturday. We've been dtd every other day this cycle and that pattern would keep it going every other day. Sorry I'm getting so paranoid!!
