MFC - Go for it! You will regret not doing it later on! We have gender scans from 14W here and there was no doubt with my last he was all boy. Ultrasound machines these days are amazing!
In Tasmania (Hobart) they wont even consider looking for "nubs" they tell you it is way too early :(
MFC, I would definitely book in the scan. $60 is nothing to find out for sure!
Lola, hopefully you can book an appointment soon. Must be frustrating waiting.
5, have you got a scan booked in? Can't remember if you said you have or not.
Hi Everyone :)
I am new here and have been trying to go through all the forums and posts and am overwhelmed. I currently have two girls and am TTC#3 and I would like to try and sway boy. Can you look at my diet and supplements and let me know if what I am doing is ok or if I should add/delete anything?
Currently I do weight training a few times a week so I pretty much each the same things everyday.
Breakfast I have either waffles and strawberry's with a whey protein shake or egg whites with toast and turkey bacon
2hrs later I have a snack and it is usually an apple or a banana or sometimes both.
For lunch it varies but usually it is a tuna fish sandwich, chicken with rice or sweet potato, or turkey sub no cheese with veggies.
2hrs later I have a snack and it is usually a rice cake with peanut butter on it with a whey protein shake and some carrotts or tomoatoes or sometimes a banana.
For Dinner I always have a meat/carb/veggie. And I usually add sea salt to everything. I drink mostly water throughout the day and sometimes have green tea a couple times a day. I don't eat any dairy.
For my supplements I take Folic acid, fish oil, prenatal, epo, and vitamin e.
Sorry this is alot of information :oops:
Im not sure what the timing is that I am suppose to BD and I think I am going to try the BSF before each BD session.
I appreciate any and all advice you could give me and I am so happy to have found this place :)
Welcome dlou!!!
DH is away for work right now and I text him yesterday about trying earlier. He said we will talk about it when he gets home on thursday. I said I will be ovulating about when he gets home....he said start okp testing next week and we will talk about if we will try or not this month when he gets home....OMG...I am so excited. I will kill him if he gets my hopes up like this and then says that I have to wait till march/april. lol
Cinss...if you see something on the news late next week about a wife stabbing her husband to death on the Gold Coast....he said no!!
Sorry I didn't respond earlier....That is super neat! She was born at 9:01pm CST.Quote:

dloui - WELCOME!! You're diet looks great but I'd go whole eggs, full fat cheese and dairy. The motto over here is high nutrients!
Well ladies I don't know if my belly is inspirational or horrifying but here it is 39 weeks and still growing :)

Hi dloui128, Welcome. Your sway looks absolutly awesome, all the foods you listed are great for boys and weight training too, good on you, i know i tried that for a week and gave up haha, you go girl. Timing isn't a very important part of swaying as we have seen many many ladies fall pg with boys and girls with all kinds of BD patterns. I think you are getting a great amount of nutrients already, but if you want to get even more, wheatgrass is an easy way to do it, you can get them in capules or liquid, and if you feel like a sweet treat dark chocolate is also on the boy list.
Preseed is recommended if you don't have a lot of ewcm, but you will probably find you have enough from taking the epo? Deep penitration is also recommended, doggie style is said to be the best for that, and if you really want to add timing in, we generally go for abstaining for a few days then BD on O-2 + O, it is tricky to predict O though, so if you haven't already, check out the Fertility Friend website, so you can chart your data.
Awesome thank you !!!!!Quote:

I tried the wheat grass in powder form and could barely get it down, maybe I should try the capsules. I started taking the epo because I wasn't getting a lot of ewcm so hopefully now that I started taking it I will see an increase, thank you for all the great information:)
Dloui, your diet and supps sound great. My DH used to have whey protein almost daily but it has things in it that may affect fertility so he has stopped it for the time being. Once we get pregnant he will start taking it again. Cinns gave some great advice re timing. I would definitely use preseed too if you don't have much ewcm. Oh and Brewer's yeast in tablet form is a great source of nutrients too.
POP, hopefully your DH will agree to try sooner!
3P, I love you belly :)
So today is O day. I think I may have O'd an hour or so ago. The pains and time correspond to when I was supposed to O according to when I had the trigger. So the wait starts... again.
Well .... I have been missing in action for a while now... But after my mc in august .... I am very nervously writing that I got a BFP today (also my bday) ...
I think I may have the secret to getting bfp..... Plan a girls weekend away full of drinking and dancing.... Looks I will be the sober friend. This time then!!
I must admit though I am scared that I will mc again bit fingers crossed!! Good luck to all tcc and congrats to those with bfp's!!!
FX for you Bec!!!!
Fingers crossed for you Bec and a massive congrats to you ams!! Sending you lots of sticky bean vibes!!
Congratulations!!!! I second the alcohol ;)Quote:

AMS- COngratulations! H&H 9 months. I had a m/c and I felt the same way as you, I agree with Cinss try not to worry :)
Dloui~ Welcome!
Bec, FX for you .. Hope you get your BFP soon, GL.
I think I am due to O in about 5 days. I haven't been doing anything.Quote:

I just don't know, I am confused right now I do want another baby but I also want to focus on me for a while, all my kids are close and I feel like I've had a baby for 10 years. I became a mum just over 10 years ago and I've been changing nappies ever since. 10 years of nappies is a long time. I've never had a break, my previous child is still in nappies when I have the next baby. I had 3 in nappies at one stage. wow sorry for the life story.
My friend has GBBBB and she just found out she is having a girl, she didn't sway and it was an unplanned pregnancy, it's sort of giving me some hope that it can happen but I also feel I won't be as lucky as she was.
I am not getting much EWCM actually I don't even think it is true EWCM, I've noticed a pattern I get some on CD14, CD19 and CD24 every month.
Hi Dloui :wave:
ams- congrats!!:celebrate:
LBAM-that's must be hard 10 years with all that diaper ! I always got rid of it before the next baby came lol .Right now DD4 is kinda trying to potty train so Im just hoping it will happen this year!
You know if you wish for another baby and DH is ok with it then try it !
(or you will and up wishing forever like me lol no fun...)
Hi All thanks for the welcome
Well I thought I was due to ovulate sunday so made hubby release last night, but now I've just had a positive OPK damm it!! So do you think I should wait until maybe 12pm tomorrow that would maker it around 38 hrs since hubby released and 24 since the OPK. What do you think????
Don't know what to do about the egg white either, really scared that thats what caused my miscarriage :-(
Thanks
Strawbell
Usually how long after your OPK do you ovulate?
I don't think the EW would have caused your M/C, I think if anything the EW would have stopped you from getting pregnant in the first place. I am so sorry for your loss xxx
Dloui - awe thanks! Timing isn't proven but if you can hit an O-2 and O that's your best chance to get preggo and, in theory get a boy. And yes deep penetration is best, gets all those little swimmers right up to the cervix. As far as preseed goes it's great if you don't have enough ewcm but if you can get copious amounts of your own ewcm I'd skip it. For me fish oil and green tea created horrifying amounts lol
Bec - thanks! Fx this is your month!
AMS- huge congrats on your bfp and I'm totally the pot calling the kettle black but try not to worry. Many of us, myself included, have had healthy babies following a mc :)
Strawbell - do you know how soon after the +opk you O? Some women rapid fire and drop the egg in 12-24 hrs others it takes 24-48.
Congrats, AMS! I will totally get on that weekend planning thing now......Quote:

Don't worry about timing, it doesn't sway. 24 hours is fine if your hubby has a normal sperm count (you can assume it is if your other kids didn't take much time to conceive!). Good luck!!!!
Aw, you look great 3P1B!!!! I am so excited for you!!
Congrats! What a wonderful bday present! Having had 2 m/c myself and a chemical, I know how easy it is to worry, but like all the other ladies said, try to keep your mind off of it! Enjoy your girls' weekend!Quote:

I am getting SO antsy waiting for our attempt this month! It almost feels as bad as the 2WW! I swear if we don't fall preggo this month I'm going to have to stop temping and everything because it's really driving me nuts--the days tick by so slowly and I just can't get my mind off things! And I try to stay busy with the kids, but even that doesn't seem to help...I've just got a bad case of baby fever and even my dreams are filled with babies! I guess that's just how it is when ttc....sigh
LBAM - Maybe in your situation you should do what TTC5 did, stop swaying and all the stuff that goes with it, just DTD when you and your DH feel like it, and if you fall pg then it was ment to be.
Strawbell - Similar thing happened to me last month, got the +opk before i was predicting it so crammed 3 BDs in over 3 days, obvioulsy that didn't work out for us. So this month i have been DTD every second day, i figured that way it wouldn't matter when i got the +opk, i would be covered.
Congratulations ams!!!
Bec - Good luck!
Lola - thanks hun :)
