I totally agree with all that!!! I would hope Alex or Jay win. But please not Aaron! I like dippy louise, but not to win. Tom does my head in at times, bit annoying!Quote:

LE is the low everything diet - includes banana's, potatoes and tomato sauce though, low fat and low protein so more do able, Im still going to do ig diet though and all sways as it just makes sense to me. Although completely agree about not obsessing while doing it, so will try to build in as much chilling as I can. May stick OH on low everything plan though as that is easier for him to do and to stick too,still have lots of reading to do first though.
Need to get the supps soon, will look back over all my notes and ur uk posts but any major tips? Was it to avoid gelatine or something?
Pinga- so worrying for you although you should be reassured seeing the heartbeat and healthy bean! Try to relax hun.
chocolate ~ i thought LE stood for "low everything" :) i've heard of it before, but would not be comfortable doing the LE diet myself. I know if i sway again in the future i will do the IG diet again :)
inglewood ~ I forgot to say I felt this little bean kick for the first time when i was 17 weeks pregnant. I do have an anterior placenta though which makes the kicks more difficult to feel! you don't have long left now until you'll be able to feel your little babies kicks :D
yep, stay away from gelatine and try and get calcium citrate and not calcium carbonate.Quote:

Good news pinga take it easy!
Charlie how are you feeling today?
Sunset are you feeling any better now?
Inglewood I felt ds1 kick sometime after 20 weeks and Ds2 move at about 14/15 weeks. Not long until your scan now!
x
Finally back on ladies!! Some of us have had trouble getting on here since this morning!! Nice to be back!!
Petal, all quiet oh here and ur FB.....is that good news coming???
LMiss, Sorry about ur BFN :( I also avoid thinkning about girls names, as much as I want to...it's like the wide bearth I give the girls clothes section in shops.
Charlie, shame ur scan is 1wk away, Fx that means they aren't too concerned and all is well. xx
Babymad, boys names are a nightmare for us too......
Kell, I was all set to be a student midwife, had my place etc...but just before I left for uni I decided that I'd do my general training 1st then it would only take 18mths to do my midwifery. No jobs here in scotland for midwives, so wanted general training to fall back on. I planned to work in A&E/medicine for 3yrs then do my midwifery, but after 2yrs ended up pg with ds1 and then could never afford to be a full time student again. Glad I am where I am in Palliative care...one end of the spectrum from the other tho!!!!
Pinga, glad all is well. I also had a bleed next to the sac on my uterus, but they warned me at the 6wk scan I might pass the blood, so I was expecting it, still scary. x
Sunset, can't believe u only have 2mths and 12days!!!!! how exciting! My family have kinna got their head round the 'twins' idea. I think I am still in shock, not panicked yet, YET!!! Dh painting and decorating and I'm busy with boys, so not much time to 'think' about it!!! I hope ur feeling better, I have blocked sinuses now for a mth, not infected but if they do become infected I'll be straight to the doc's. I feel for you so much, you haven't had much luck with ur health recently, sure that'll be you now....on the mend and ready for you gorgeous girl.
My friend had a baby boy yest (she has a 6yr old boy) she was so so sure she was having a girl! She mentioned 'cut-off' briefly to me once, but we never got a chance to say anymore as another mum came up. I said I had heard of it!!! She did a 3 day cut off (non-intentional she said). Wonder if she's in shock????
Off to finish tea, just in from getting boys hair cut. Will pop on later. x
God my brain is seriously pickled at the moment! It didn't even enter my mind to cross check things I use to do with the boy side of the forums! My concentration is on psychology and chemistry assignments which is using most of my brain power lol! I guess that's why it's a good thing we have each other to chat to!
I defiantly need a detailed look at the ig diet, I've seen that its in tiers but I don't know what's in this tiers, Is it a diet that's been made by the people at in-gender?
Sunset, hope your on the mend now!
Pinga, a heart beat of 113 is fine! I'm pretty sure anything above 100 is pretty normal! Hope everything repairs and your lil bean is all safe!
My little man is being very mischievous! He keeps wondering off doing naughty things! I've just caught him throwing dog biscuits shouting 'GO' for the dog! He finds it very amusing! This morning he decided the dogs water was a nice thing to drink, but did he pick it up? Nope he knelt down and tried to lick it like a dog does! I think he's obsessed! :S
Inglewood I've had problems all day as well getting on!
Wow tht certainly is different ends of the spectrum! I'm not sure I'd be able to do your job. We have such a shortage of midwives in the south-east, almost every student has gone straight into a job for the last 5+ years!
Where abouts in Scotland are you? My mum and her side of the family live just south of Edinburgh! I can honestly say I spend more time in Edinburgh than I do in London and I'm less than 30 mins away from it lol
All the girls I shared the nurses home with that did midwifery ended up down south and I'm too much of a home buddy! I am 40 miles south of Glasgow on the coast, but my Dh is from Fife and we spend alot of time there too. It's only 30mins from Edinburgh, u'll prob know it? I was to do my midders in Edinburgh, but ended up moving to Glasgow, closer to home and my BF of yrs at the time.
Sunset, thanks, am going to look it up a bit more tonight but that was the answer I was looking for :-) kelli, I have a saved doc. Origionally from ig that I may be able to forward u with the tier info, will look later when not on my phone. I've had a few probs. Getting on here and also tried getting on ig but had the monkeys straight away which doesn't usually happen, wonder if its perm. Down now, haven't been on it for weeks but do find it very useful for info.
Kell we have two kitten well there about 7 months old now so more like cats. Anywho ds2 who is two is so obsessed with them. He carry's them everywhere one under each arm! They are so good and have never scratched any of us! But I caught him the other day brushing his teeth with water from the cat bowl! UGGGGGH and i'm sure he's tried some of their kitten biscuits. LOLQuote:

I feel rubbish so sorry for short post x
Evening ladies,
Charlie sorry you feel rubbish!
I haven't had a chance to read everyones posts today as i decided to take the opportunity on no GD or IG to actually play with my children and forget about swaying!
Pinga, glad all seems well with bubs.... will they monitor you a bit now or no need?
Seriously having to reconsider the o+12 and abstinence which is doing my head in as my ph is stonkingly high before and during ov and also dh cant cope with FR. Just wish i knew what to do! does anyone know if liquorice root can have a negative impact on dh's sperm? Was hoping that i could just cut out the post lime douche, cut out the liquorice root and add in progesterone and all would be fine but it sounds like its the o+12 and abstinence that could be the problems...ugh!
Hi Deaks,
Well even though I didn't sway hardcore I have started to type up my sway details so will try and post tomorrow :)
I know my chances of having another boy are high as I didn't do everything 100% but this is briefly what I did do!!
I did the diet 100% from Jan to end of May so 5 months, then in June July and Aug I cheated in the 2ww and stuck with the diet when AF arrived. Even though I cheated I still didn't eat anything really boy friendly like potatoes or bandannas etc so I still stayed away from all that was listed on the diet but I would have a pizza or takaway occasionally at the weekend and chocolate or biscuits as a treat in the week, so not great as I stopped losing weight by June but I did lose weight before then. I never ate before midday from Jan until BFP and I didn't eat cereal from Jan until BFP either (I ate a lot of cereal when I conceived he boys). So not sticking to the diet 100% doesn't go in my favour, although the fact that my body had had quite a long time to adjust to the diet when I was doing it 100% could have helped by the time we conceived??
I still drank peppermint tea, milk and cranberry all the time.
I still showered twice a day and used my ion bracelets and lavender, salt rock lamps etc etc.
FF says 2 day cut off I think we BD on ov and 12 hrs after so boy friendly but like you I wasn't getting pg and I was running out of time! some women do get pg with girls on ov as timing is only one of the factors but in my case I think it's boy territory. If we conceived on 2nd BD then more girl friendly.
I didn't use lime as we did that with DS3. DH abstained for 10 days. My PH was below 4 leading up to ov and in 4's during our attempt.
so I am praying with all my heart we made a pink bean but I'm also realistic and prepared to hear boy!
not sure if I've been of any help but I will write up my sway too :)
Deaks -whats the issue/problem? Probably cant help much but will be doing lots of research so may come accross something
Deaks, my dh took 2 liq root tabs a day for 2mths. Apparently, I read someplace (google it and I'll have a hunt) but 2 is recommend per day for dh (can't remember why). know it can make them moody and lower sex drive of take too many, but not sure about sperm impact.Quote:

I always wondered if I couldn't carry girls especially as I know for defo one baby we lost was a girl......be interesting to find out more.
Charlie ~ Hope you feel better and some rest.
Ping ~ so pleased everything to ok x
Hi to everyone else.....off to watch The Jury :)
Deaks- just seen your post on the general bit, all makes sense now, sorry for what happenned. When I miscarried, I put all my efforts into trying to work out what could have gone wrong ...... it did sort of help, I had to do something!
Did you ever get a copy of the sway guide in IG? In there it recommended some tablets etc. to take to help egg quality etc. to prevent miscarriage or lesson the risk I should say. Ill def. be doing that this time round. Your post has so made me want to just crack on with ttc now especially with my history of PCOS, miscarriage, short lp etc. at least the sooner I try the sooner Ill know what chances I have and can sort problems out sooner hopefully!
I'm pretty sure there's only one condition which means you can't carry a baby of a certain gender and it only applies to boys!Quote:

Deaks, are you taking baby aspirin and b6?
Thanks Atomic :)
So sorry to answer your q deaks re mc, no I didnt really do anything or not do anything to help prevent mc apart from take baby aspirin. Is your LP still short?
Im having a mare typing on my phone... I meant sorry that i hadnt answered your question deaks!! ;)
Evening ladies,
Pinga so pleased that you saw you little beans heart beat!
Petal hope things start for you soon and your little one arrives soon xx
Inglewood ~ did you friend stay team green? it must have been a shock for her if she believed she was having a girl. do you feel more tired this pregnancy or about the same? did you read your notes, do you have an anterior placenta? my babies always come early so i could perhaps only have another 7-9 weeks left to go.. :S how time flies lol unfortunately i'm a born worrier so i still don't quite dare to believe i'm having a girl.. i still think the worst is going to happen and still don't dare to go shopping. fx for no more colds or bugs now! i'm sick of being poorly and under the weather! i too suffer congestion as well! my nose is nearly always blocked! drives me mad lol :D unfortunately all 3rd trimester symptoms has hit me hard this time and i suffer daily from congestion, swelling and heartburn. Lovely :p but apart from that it's all groovy! i love being pregnant :D
Lavenderlime ~ i'm doing much better thank you :) it's my last day of antibiotics tomorrow :D can't wait! i had problems logging into genderdreaming too earlier today, but i know nuthinbutpink has explained what happened in another thread on here :)
Babymad ~ i've got my fx it's a pink little bean you're cooking :) you did a great sway!!
charlie ~ ((HUGS)) hope you feel better soon!! x
hello to everyone else!!! :)
threelittlemen ~ how are you and hows your princess doing? :)
petal ~ i noticed you liked my status on FB earlier today so i guess you're still waiting?? good luck tomorrow with the induction! i'll be thinking of you and keeping my fx for a quick and easy labour! :)
Thanks babymad! no i have decided to not take b6 as im going to take progesterone to lengthen my LP. Some cycles its 9 days long and some its up to 11, but even then thats very much borderline. Progesterone makes it 13 or 14 :) I have sometimes taken baby aspirin and will probably continue to do so. Is there any guidance on how much to take and whether you have to wean off it? The info is very brief on the IG FAQ.
Petal, i too am thinking of you! GL! X
Thanks chocolate! yes thats exactly how i feel, like i just have to try and figure out what, if anything, could have caused it. So far i have come up with short LP/low progesterone (which i knew anyway), blood sugar levels, o+12, abstinence. The first i can do something about. Blood sugar levels is something i wish i had known about and will definitely remedy next time. i'm not keen on ditching the o+12 due to my manic ov ph and abstinence just seems to be something dh and i have to do to get pg bizarrely enough! Its as though only a big load of sperm can make that ONE get through!Quote:

I have 3 threads on the general discussion on which atomic and others have given great info if you get a chance to look at! Have you tried progesterone crinone for your short LP... i really recommend it if nothing else works for you :)
oh and chocolate yes i have just had another read through the IG guide and i could take vit E and zinc along with baby aspirin. Think i will definitely give the sudafed/zrytec a miss next time.

Good luck tomorrow petal! Ds1 birthday btw :-)
Two poor woman in my birth group have gone into labour and had their baby's this week :-( so so sad
She was gonna find out then decided not to at the scan, not sure yet how shocked she is! My other friend was like you and after 4 scans confirming girl she bought a dress, but still said she wouldn't believe it until she had her in her arms!! She did have a girl 9wks ago! I did check my notes and it says a Posterior placenta at 12wks, but I am so sure at my 6wk scan she told me anterior?? confused now!! I hate all this congestion, my SIL had it bad too and it's awful. All the patients at work think I have a cold and shouldn't be working! Then I have to explain..... it did start after a cold about 5wks ago. Got shocking heartburn already, prob due to not being on my reg gastritis meds, it will only get worse. But was told after 15wks could get my old meds back if feeling bad. Gosh u don't have long really!! so exciting! a xmas baby?? new year?? I'm expecting (all being well) to have the twins a month early, so beg April! My babies are usually late or on time and big!! will be funny having smaller babies....Quote:
