Feeling exactly the same I guess it's normal to have these worries, especially us boy mummies who tend to analyse so much. Whatever happens and whatever decisions we make its good to know that we all understand each other and are supporting one another. I love this place, it's great to feel like I can be open and honest about my feelings and see those echoed in other people's posts. Wish this journey could be easier on us all though. Good luck with the exercises today. Xx
I always felt like chickening out but because I paid for fertility treatments in the end I wasn't about to let it go to waste. I know what you mean though once it's done it's done. But i still felt like there is someone we have not met yet.

Up until this month I have been really happy with having another and really positive even if a boy but this cycle it's gone the other way, maybe just the pressure now it's time to try.
On the positive at least yours will all be close in age, our eldest will be 8 nearly 9 by the time the next one comes so I worry the gap will be too big. Let's hope we get some positive vibes to help us feel good about it again X

I was at my doctors the other day and she discover my pulse was fast so she wanted an ecg done. While the nurse was hooking me up she was talking to me about being pregnant. And her daughter has 3 boys too just like me. The nurse said she thinks I'd her daughter had another one it will be another boy. I said actually it is a little more common to go on and have a girl after 3 boys than to have 4 boys. This nurse was very interested. said she can tell i have done a lot a research into this. She said if I am having a girl then to come back and see her she really wants to know

Hope that's going to be the case for all of us :-)

Is that right BR????!x
I did read it somewhere when I started swaying. Maybe it's because of people like us once we get to a few boys ww decide to look up how to get a girl or just stop at 3 boysQuote:

Found it! It's actually on here. It says.
It says you are only 6.4% more likely to go on and have a 4th boy
The odds of having a girl after 3 boys is 43.6%
Odds of having a family of 4 being 5he same gender us 12.5% odd off a family of 4 being mixed gender is 87.5%
It also says when people say your more likely to keep having the same gender is actually an old wives tale

Oooo that gives us hope then!!!! Thanks for that Hun xx
I did my usual walk wearing DS3 and pushing DS2 in a stroller. I hope the rain stays away this week.
I'm really getting worried about my DH. He's getting his hopes up again for a DD. He keeps referring to a future baby as "her" and "she". I've been doing so well with the diet and exercise. I just hope all I'm doing is enough.

Gosh that must be so hard, doing it for yourself is hard enough but for your partner must be so tough.

Did zero exercise all weekend I'm ashamed to say as we were so busy and had a very late dinner party on Sat evening. But got out to do my 1h20 power walk/run with the pram afar lunch today. I'm hoping to have my attempt next week, like you Chocolate, I'm wondering if I have done enough. I was originally aiming to have my first attempt in April, but felt I hadn't been consistent with everything so delayed. Now I am wondering if I have done enough this month, maybe not, certainly not compared to some of you. But I don't want to wait anymore I don't think. But it's stressing me out a little bit.
A 2 day break isn't too bad as inv as you get back on it. Dinner part sounds lovely

Chocolate, girlieplease and mulberry s, I am also getting more and more nervous as our first attempt is getting closer. Will be trying end of May. I have the same worries as you: is this the right thing to do? Do I really want another child and not only DG? How will a 4. child affect our family time-wise, money-wise and so on. A lot of thoughts. On the other hand I am also exited. I am so thankfull to this site and that I am not alone with these feelings and anxiety.

Good luck for your attempts this month Faith in pink and dream sister! I saw soooo many cute baby girls when out yesterday it was exhausting! Came home and just wanted to curl up in bed, how mad when I have two beautiful children eh?! I don't get it either. Anyhoo back to the exercise today too :) xx
Mulberry smurk, faithinpink and DreamS we are all in the same boat, so at least we can support each other, cannot imagine how I would feel if I did not have this site, and were in isolation trying to deal with these confusing emotions!
I did back to back exercise, cardio DVD last night and then running for an hour this morning, am starving but trying to hold off until 1pm, if I can! Good luck today lovely ladies. Excited to follow your next stage!
Wow that's excellent girlie please well done on your back to back exercise!! Will have my morning coffee in a mo then I have some breadsticks, carrot sticks and cheese for lunch. Going to do my steps later when the boys have their bath xx
Well done girls!! I was all set to run straight after work last night but whimped out as realised it would have been getting dark half way through; also stumbled on the diet last night when I got home. Needless to say I got up and ran for an hour at 5.30 this morning before work to try and make amends?!!x
Woah that's impressive!! I just can't function first thing in the morning. Have been for a little walk and will do another later but looking forward to my steps as I will stick some 80s tunes on to keep me company lol xx
Hi all, well I got a positive opk yesterday am but not again that day even though I tested a few times and negative today. Dtd last night which will be our only attempt this month even if I haven't actually ovulated. It's day 10 today so a bit earlier than normal as usually day 12 ish but then I spotted for 3 days before full period so maybe I'm more like day 13. Had a bit if a temp. Rise but I've only charted for 3 days or 4 this month so it's hard to tell. I've got back ache, muscle aches and bloated so don't feel like exercising. So I either ovulated yesterday, today or I've got it wrong but diet has been good since af and I exercised every day.

Ok. Maybe i need an exercise video. Any ideas?
Squiggle pink I would not have a clue what exercise dvd are recommended but I just looked for one that stated it was cardio and lasted for an hour, it's called carolyn pierce not sure that is correct as I have lost the cover cardio workout, atomic recommended on another post going on you tube and doing some of the dance stuff she mentioned a few but I cannot recall now. I am sure there is some recommended workout, I just picked that myself, I love it, if it gets too late or is raining I can stick it on and I still get my hour!
What cd are you chocolate. Do you think it could have been a false surge?Quote:

Yes it's possible but I have been ovulating quite early recently. I'm going to carry on with the opks just in case but not sure I can be bothered to exercise for a few days. Will see if I have a high temperature tomorrow too. Did you carry on with exercise?

Cd 10 today

Last month I ovulated day 11 or 12

Chocolate, I would BD every 4 days in this case. BD every 4 days will allow you to be in one attempt in case you O later.

I did 70min of walking wearing DS3 while pushing DS2 in a stroller. It's become quite the workout now that he is 18lbs! He's only 5mo! Such a hunk a chunk [emoji4]! I just love chunky babies!
My temp this morning dropped quite a bit so I expect I'll O in a day or two.

Fingers crossed Xxforhubby!
I think I read that it might sway to only have one attempt the entire month as the body may be able to detect the sperm was only there once and realise a man is around permanently so therefore a daughter would find it easier to survive without a father. But if the same happen again next month I'll just throw in another attempt.
I have stuck to the diet today but no exercise, will try and exercise tomorrow to keep blood sugars low just in case there is a female waiting to implant. Guess even if I ovulate tomorrow or the day after then some sperm may still be hanging around.
Feel really bloated and back pains around kidneys today though which I tend to get around ovulation. Does anyone else get that?

Hope you're gearing up for ovulation xx! And hope you've made it with that attempt chocolate!
Haven't done my steps yet can someone kick me up the bum please?? Xx
Poor you! I think I may have to do exercise every other day in the 2ww and every day from af to ovulation as finding the gym every single day such hard work and can't see myself it every day for much longer
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Come on mulberry smurf you can do it, think of the sense of satisfaction when you have achieved it! I did my exercise from 6:30 until 7:30 this morning and am glad, tomorrow I cannot exercise due to work schedule so I get a rest day tomorrow then back on it Thursday, I think am finding the exercise OK, am losing weight, which is great and is sort of motivating me to keep going.
Exciting chocolate, your attempts is done? I had not read that before about one attempt per month! Fingers crossed you get your sticky pink bean! Well done on exercising ladies, it really keeps we going to know others are going through it as well! X
Thanks girlie please! That's good you're able to lose weight as well and will help your sway :) xx
Come on mulberry smurf, you'll get to eat a few more empty calories if you squeeze your exercise in - that's always a motivating factor for me!!x
Good point haha xx
Just at the gym doing my hour on the bike at the moment; had to eat on m way as was starving and couldn't face doing it without food this morning - last ate at 6pm last night so 15 hr fast x
Chocolate that's so exciting! I really hope it works for you this month. I'm going to have my first attempt next week hopefully. It's nerve wracking!
I did my 10k power walk/run with the pram yesterday lunch. Wanted to get up at 5.45 this morning to go for a run but I was so tired I literally couldn't open my eyes, let alone drag myself out of bed! I even got all my clothes out ready, never mind. I'll have to try and do something tonight. Well done everyone, keep going! Who else is attempting this month?
Hi ladies,
hope everyone is doing well? Just has a scan over the thread, you all sound like you're doing brilliantly!
How are you doing BR? Sounds like things are progressing nicely! And chocolate, your first attempt-so exciting! Everyone else sounds so committed, well done everyone!!
I've not been here for a while, just been so busy with work, the kids and have needed a bit of a break. Been doing a bit of soul searching about whether I want to carry on. I'm a bit scared about having another child TBH. I've still been doing LE and exercise, 25lbs lost now and am looking and feeling much better, but I'm scared.
Scared to attempt, scared not to attempt. Anyone else in the same boat? xxx
