PoP, you are sure to get your own TLC television show if you end up with 7 girls! :)
Don't put a bit of thought into the psychic stuff, there was a thread over on IG years ago and the % of right "guesses" for the psychics was exactly 50/50!

Pop, one of the reasons I was so certain that Sawyer was going to be a girl was that Cheri22 and Brook (both with pretty good records of gender prediction) said I would get pregnant with a girl. Lots of others did predict boy, but for some reason the girl predictions really got to me. Well, obviously they were wrong. Oh, and by the way, one lady (from ebay, I can't remember who it was, I purchased quite a few from there) predicted a girl before I was pregnant, but then once I was pregnant, I asked for a gender prediction, and she said boy. And she was the one who got the conception month right.
In my opinion, Cara and Mis2Ninos have both had good track records. They were right for me. Didn't they say boy/girl twins for you?
PoP its very obvious that the psychics are just throwing a 3 month guess at you, because it is most likely that ANY woman will fall preggers in or around the 3 month mark, then if you dont... like you and i both didnt last time they will give you another 3 month window. As for gender it really has been seen time and time again that they are accurate 50% of the time, i think they just toss a coin.
I think chances of being pregnant are pretty low. I'm not on bc, we do use condoms.... Maybe I should get a test :x
Do twins run in your family?
Anyway to make yourself feel better, google psychics by their name + accuracy.... That helped me a bunch. Every single one of them is wrong some of the time. Brooke told me that even she makes mistakes and that no psychic can get gender right 100% of the time!
Also, if everyone is telling you May and girl, why not skip TTC in May? When I first started swaying and getting predictions, several people said August and girl. So I didn't TTC in August, and I didn't TTC in November because that would have given me an August due date.
Babylee, maybe you have a UTI?
Where do y'all find all these gender psychics? I loooove that stuff. Of course, I don't put too much stock in it, but I'd love to get a reading done.
Got a reality check today I think. My best friend was expecting girl #4 and went for an 18 week u/s only to discover that baby had passed away a few days earlier. She only had one heart chamber and fluid on the brain. She is going in today to be induced. I will continue swaying my heart out, but will happily take one or two little girls if it means having a healthy baby that I get to take home with me.
Oh god now that's horrible to hear my heart just sinks hearing that stuff! I feel selfish sometimes when I think about me swaying for a particular gender though I would be SOOO over the moon for DD to have a sister..
Just pray that we are blessed with healthy bubbas.
Pop seriously ignore that crap these physics say!! When are you going to TTC ??
In a little over a week (so excited). Don't expect it to work straight up though. Totally expecting at least 3-4+ months to get a BFP. Super excited to finally be pregnant though!
Eeeeeeeeekkkkkk!! I'm so excited for you, I can't wait to get pregnant either.. I'm not sure if I should try in April just incase I don't get pregnant right away in May.. I conceived DD after 2months this was before I knew anything about swaying and ovulation times and EWCM..
Pop how long have you been on the diet now? In April ill be 5 months and May 6months.. Time has really flown!
Well I started it in July 2012.....But got super serious and totally strict in December. So 7 months diet, 3 super strict. Been on fish oil, B12, multi for 8 months and everything else for 3 months. Lifting weights, etc for 2 months now.
I have conceived 10 times in the past on my first attempt, but TTC'ed Jan-June last year with no success so expect it may take a few months.
Has anyone gained a lot of weight on the diet? I'm not weighing myself because I want to stay in denial but I'm sure I have. I'm working out often and eating very little processed food but it's still a lot of calories and a ton of nuts so high fat. I see some of you have been on the diet for awhile and wondering how you are doing it?
I am losing super slow. Losing fat and gaining muscle. Clothes are loser but not a massive change on the scales. Lots of small meals, all healthy and gym 5 days a week. Feeling great!
Do you have your diet on here anywhere? I am trying to be healthy but I feel like I am eating a ton of nuts and I'd really like to eat less. I generally snack all day with my biggest meal being lunch. I am hungry all the time though!! Everytime I get hungry, I get paranoid my blood sugar is dropping and I eat.
I put on a fair amount of weight in the first 9 months of my sway so i decided to cut out all take away foods, i cut out lots of carbs like bread and rice, replaced them with low gi carbs like sweet potato and oats. I stopped drinking calories, only water through out the day. Breakfast was my biggest meal lunch was medium and dinner was small. I ate 10 almonds per day with a green apple for morning snack, so didnt overdo nuts, ate my fruits for the day before the afternoon (so the natural sugars would burn off) and veggies at dinner time with lean meat with all fat cut off. Working out was very helpful and at the time i conceived i had just lost about 6kgs.
That's great information! I'm really overdoing it on the nuts. I don't even care about losing weight I just want my muffin top gone!! I don't want to go into a pregnancy wanting to lose weight. I just found out another friend of mine is having a boy. All three people that are pregnant are having boys and they all had girls first! I'm a little jealous but hopeful it will happen for me too.
Yeah thats pretty much what I am doing too. Big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner, no more than 10 nuts a day, cheese and rice crackers for one snack and a protein shake after the gym, before bed.
Lol OMG you ladies make me feel so guilty! I cannot live off a small meal I get stomach pains because of starvation. I do generally have a big breakfast with oats oatmeal with peanut butter and a banana and mid morning snack is almonds and dates.. And i have larabars with coconut water, cheese and crackers.. sometimes apple with peanut butter.. i just think its all this rich food Im eating.. i dont eat from out much either. I'm really cutting back on bread and if I do it's whole grain.. I do always eat before I go sleep ( its usually breakfast cereals or 3dates with glass of milk) because by the time I get up in morning my stomach grumbles bad lol
Any advice on what else I could replace the bread with and what else I could eat.. I've gained weight but I checked recently I lost 5pounds in a month I don't know if it just fat turned into muscle but I've gone bulky!! Lol it's horrendous
How many times do you guys have Snacks?
I kind of just snack all day. I have a big breakfast and then eat every 2 hours or so. My breakfast is either banana, berry and protein powder pancakes with Greek yoghurt or bacon and eggs on a cruskit with avocado or coconut yoghurt with this seed and goji berry mix in it. First snack is usually poppy seed and sea salt corn chips with chive and onion cream cheese dip. Then fruit and nuts. Then a little left over dinner in snack size (lunch). Then cheese and crackers. Then meat and veg. Then gym. Then protein shake with banana and berries blended in. Then bed.
Oh the things we do...laying on my bed with a heat bag on my tummy (thanks for the tip flava). I long for the days when TTC didn't involve swallowing a bazillion supplements, weird drinks, lots of food I am not used to eating and laying with heat bags on me. It used to be so simple hey!! But as they say....if you always do what you've always done you will always get what you always got! My new motto.
afy you can replace bread with wraps or ryvitas (not sure if they are called the same thing in NY) rye crackers. Your diet looks really good. I was just having green tea after dinner so i didnt get hungry.
I heard about the heating pad but I forgot what it does. Can you explain it again? Thanks for the food suggestions. That will help so much!!
I think it helps with implantation??
Lol nicely said Pop... your diet sounds fab, i just think mines BORING lol.. i do try to experiment but Ive come to the point where i really dont want to eat what i cant stomach and we shouldnt have to either lol.. The diet isnt hard and eating after 1-2 hours is a must for me now i get shaky if i dont eat on time!.. I know what you mean about not having to eat so much I just hate having to be presice with eating and not eating whenever your feel like to.. AHHH GONE ARE THOSE DAYS!! i know in pregnancy i cant handle staying hungry i was VERY bad with my DD i would wake up 4/5am to eat because my belly hurt so bad of hunger!!
Thats a great idea We do bring whole grain wraps home sometimes we eat them,
I have whole grain crackers besides from eating Tuna or cheese with tomatoes what else could we eat with the crackers which could make it in to a meal rather than a snack and more filling perhaps?
CD 8 to 4dpo. I started CD 6 this time though.
Sweet option = natural peanut butter with sliced banana and squeeze of honey.
Savory options = Asparagus wrapped in smoked salmon with some cottage cheese
Hard boiled egg sliced with ham, spinach leaves, onion and a drizzle of mayonnaise
Avocado, cheese, tomato, chicken :)
BFN... I'm so relieved, I'm sure if I were pregnant it would be another girl. I'm scared and excited to sway for a boy.
Mmmmmm sounds delicious.. Ill be trying some of them..
Ok I just wanted to ask something its probobly silly but i wasnt sure, when were in the month of attempt.. when exactly is it classed as a MONTH, because My AF usually arrives around 28-30 days and. I usually ovulate cycle day 12-13 and Iam looking to TTC in May from my calculations if Af stays consistent I will have my AF first week of May and prob Ovulate around 2nd week May,now does this mean i would need to start DTD in April ? if yes roughly around when?
sorry i know this is confusing just let me know ladies if you guys dont understand! x
