Glittergirl, i totally agree that abstinence results in a lot of old sperm that aren't as healthy. I read Atomics post too and it made alot of sense. The pregnancy that i miscarried was from abstinence, and i think maybe its possible that the sperm that fertilized was older/unhealthy so couldnt develop properly - who knows though if this was the case - thats why we are doing frequent BD now.
I may have seen that thread, I dont remember. I did read something about age and abstinance. I jus didnt think we'd be old enough for that to affect us, as DH is 34 and Im about to turn 30. I was scared away from frequent because we got both boys with frequent BD! But I wasnt on any kind of girl diet at those times.......do ya'll think the diet would over power the frequent BD which resulted in my boys??
Pickles~ may I ask how far along were you when you miscarried? Did you bleed heavy for several days and did it feel like menstrual cramps or did it feel different?
p4p......So sorry about AF showing....Hugs!
Congrats on your BFP Glittergirl!!!!!! I hope you have a healthy pink bean baking!!!!
As for my I was so upset about not being able to have my IUD on friday that I blew my diet all weekend....I am back on it now again....It will just give a few more weeks to prepare myself for my sway....I am still waiting for an appointment to have it removed...I pray its sooner rather than later.....I am hoping to do my first sway attempt in June.... I thought I had a solid plan but I am still unsure what timing to use because I do want to get pregnant quickly if possible....I wonder if I do the diet,supps,a douche before and replens after will timing even matter? I think I am going to abstience until right before 0, then maybe dtd right through...but i am still unsure!!!!

I keep thinking about, as I have read several successful sways on IG that BD right through O!! Thats what Im wondering too, but Im scared!! But I also want to get pregnant quickly, and not go thrugh this every month. I wish they had more studies or info about timing and diet.... and if a strict diet could/would completely overrule timing!
P4P- I totally forgot to look at this thread!!! I'm so bummed for you, hun :( I really thought that this was your month. All those symptoms, the bleeding....it just made sense. I hope that you get you BFP the next time you try. XO Fx'd
Glitter- Congratulations! I hope you have a smooth pregnancy! xo
Thank you Doulamama! It is quite disappointing, so I hope too that I get that BFP next time around!
Ugh, Im so glad I have other "crazy loons" on here to talk to.....everybody else acts like Im just ridiculous for thinking this works or that Im trying it! I had a sad face on my Facebook yesterday and put that I was having a bad day, and my SIl (the only one on DH side who knows about this) asked me what I had to be down about! And she knows that I didnt get pregnant! Hmm... a little inconsiderate dont ya think! Then a friend of mine told me maybe I should not mess with "that Science stuff and just let our maker do His job and just maybe it will be a girl!" O....kayyy!! And Im trying my best to get really strict with this diet for our attempt in 1.5-2 weeks, and my DH wants to get eat with his family this week at a catfish restaurant!! You know these people here in the South, how they love to deep fry everything and put a lb of salt on it!! Geez I just wish he'd give me a little support. I know he doesnt think Im nuts because it was his idea that I try whatever for us to increase our chances for a girl, but a little help would be nice! If I go eat with his extremely NOSEY family and I ask for no salt or barely eat anything, they will start asking a million questions!! I shouldnt have to explain myself. My DH even said, well just bring your own salad dressing....I said oh yeah Im sure no one will want to know why on earth I brought my own salad dressing!! Geez!!!
Is it not stressful and horrible enough that Im upset my attempt failed!
Thanks LAdybug and Doulamama! I'm kinda scared cause I had some brown discharge last night and again this morning. I thought implantation is done with! So I'm not too excited yet til I hear a heartbeat! P4P--I know what you mean about telling others. I broke down and told a good friend and my sisters. Well, my best friend told me it's a 4th boy and so did my youngest sister! I just acted happy and said yeah, I hope it's a boy. It's like what do you say? I said I just want a healthy baby first (which is true, much rather have a healthy boy than a girl with medical issues, etc) I always pray for healthy baby, girl would be a bonus:) But now I don't want to tell anyone I'm preg cause I get the general reaction Oh it's gonna be a boy!
Its frustrating!! Like I told my husband, I know its in Gods hands and I think its ok to atleast see if theres a way we can help Him along. I want to be able to look back if I do get another boy and say well I tried everything, and not have any regrets that I didnt do my best. I dont feel theres anything wrong with that! And its funny because the friend of mine who said that just had her 4th boy and she said they tried all of the methods as well! Hmm!! If God wants us to have another boy then so be it, He must have a reason and plan! I wish some people would just keep their opinions to themselves unless its a positive comment!! Theres no reason in ruining someone elses excitement or diminishing their effort! And I took offense to her comment like Im going against God and keeping Him from doing His will! Im not at all, all my trust is in Him! Just like I read somewhere else, God heals but yet we go to doctors....God protects us yet we lock our doors! Sometimes God provides us with doors and resources to help ourselves, while at the same time making sure His will is done!
P4P - I dont mind you asking questions. I miscarried at 9 weeks but they said the foetus didnt develop past 5 or 6 weeks. At just over 9 weeks i woke up with bleeding like early period which stopped and started - no pain. Then i started feeling crampy pain as bleeding got heavier and then lots of cramps (but probably not as bad as i expected the pain to be) when i passed big clots (sorry tmi). I was bridesmaid at my best friends wedding the day I passed the worst clots - it was horrible smiling all day when all i wanted to do was lie down and cry! I bled for just over a week.Quote:
