Hi Alexis can't see your chart?
Yep, I use FF as well. I think your O date has changed because if you O'd on CD13 your post O temp on CD15 would have dipped below the coverline. How long after +opk do you normally O?Quote:

Sorry for the BFN Alexis, hopefully it will happen in the next few days!
So last month I O'd on CD14. Today is Cd 13 and I just barely even fading in. But i feel all crampy like normal. Im really confused by this. My sticks have almost no line at all, its there, but as if it were like on day 12. I usually O on CD14. I did start my supplements. Do you think this could throw me off? I didn't do a smiley yet because I dont have a solid line at all and I dont want to waste them. Im going to pee tomorrow which should be my O day, I will be reall surprised if I get a smiley and solid lines...but it's just trippin me out.
Maybe you have a short surge? I don't get much warning with mine either.
Short fade in I mean, not surge iykwim?
TTC5- could you please update me ? Thanks :)
♥ Cheekymoo
♥ Swaying Status: TTC starting july 2011
♥ TTC DC #3 (I have 2 girls 4 & 1yrs old)
♥ Your approach to blue sway: Eating lots meat, potatoes, tomatoes, , fruit and veg and cereal. Salting all possible. Snacking througout the day. Cut out chocolate, fizzy drinks and sweets limiting calcium but not strictly (no dairy etc but still eating some in vege ). Drinking green tea, and v8 veg juice both once a day and different fruit juices, and lemon water. Doing weights once week.Supplements i am on 2000mg FA, 50mg zinc, potassium suplements, 1000mg fish oil, 500mg vit E, will do ASG, BSF month of try, as well as guanaifesen 5 days prior to ov.
I know how you feel :) I think TTC5 might be right you may have a short fade in- the surge may happen quite fast ...or perhaps like me this month your just going to o a day or two later?? Just keep testing :) and let us know how it goes....Quote:

Welcome Layla will add you now!!
Wow we have quite a blue crew now :)
Thanks B! Not relaxing per-say but a good time. We went to our friends yesterday for DHs b-day and got to totally chill, so that was great. On CD12 and DH didn't want to wait so DTD this morning and I hope to hold him off until O but we'll see. All current signs point to O on CD14 or CD15 so I think the thyroid meds and getting that FertileCM out of my system are getting my cycles back on track so I'm thrilled.Quote:

I think that's true about finding names you really like to help. Finding a girl name I love right now and DH agrees on has really helped me come to peace more if I end up having a girl and w/ 2 boys in a row I would think a girl for me is more statistically probable. It seems small but I think you are so right.Quote:

I guess us DTD this morning was OK but really only took Mucinex right before and did no other sway stuff. CM was watery. We finished in the missionary position, bummer. :) I guess we should DTD tonight or tomorrow morning also, to up our chances. I just started charting my BBT on FF as of 7/1.
Hi ladies
It is really interesting reading your posts and not feeling like the only "lunatic" who is trying to control gender of future child by diet. I have only told a few of my close friends about my swaying, with others when gender is discussed I say stuff like "apparently salty foods and eating breakfast everyday makes boys" and they all just laugh it off giving me an example each of such and such who always/never eats breakfast/sweets and has opposite of my theory. So really glad to be here to exchange ideas. I have still not decided whether we will find out either. DH never wants to find out and I always do. So we did not find out with DD1 but did with DD2. I was not concerned about gender with DD2 as I already got my girl and never really cared about having a son much, so I was happy that DD1 would have a sister. I know DH really wants a boy so maybe we will wait to find out this time. I will find it sooo hard though. I only had girl names for DD1 and DD2. We could not agree to boy names with DH. This time we have agreed to two boys names (yes already I know I need a BHP that sticks first) and have not to a girl's name. I think we will leave it like that so maybe we will end up again only with the gender that we have found a name for.
Look forward to chating with you all...
Ladies I have been concerned about this moon theory that full moon ovulation = boys and new moon = girls. I have worked out that both my girls were conceived during new moon. I can see from your posts that you all seem to be ovulating around the new moon. I hope I can prove the theory wrong as I cannot change my cycle that is when I ovulate and get my period. I would really appreciate it if you could work out when your previous children were conceived using this link:

Just a rough estimate would be great. The way I worked it out was by remembering the due date for my girls, then counting back 40 weeks from my due date and adding another 2 weeks as I usually ovulate at days 14-15. If you could all be bothered to do this I would be SOOOOO greatful. I will ask the pink thread to do the same as well.
Iluv- Yay! sounds like things are on the up :) FX this is your cycle you sure have been through the wringer you def deserve it!
Layla- Welcome :) and Yes unfortuately my two girls do fit the new moon theory...and I did just ovulate in the newmoon only a day or so into it though :) Hoping the accumulated ions from before plus the other positive ions i surrounded myself with will sway should i get that BFP....
FX!!Quote:

DD1 should have been a boy = full moon
DD2 should have been a boy full moon on that day!!
DD3 waxing moon so lean girl
DD4 waxing moon so lean girl.
So for me I have a 50/50 chance lol.
Layla, you didn't need to add on another 2 weeks as they are included in the 40 weeks. So really your girls were conceived around the full moon so completely de-bunking the theory for you!!:agree:Quote:

WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!Quote:

Layla, welcome :) Both my girls were conceived in new moon. I can't really change when I O either so I hope the theory is wrong too!
Thnkyou babyD:hugs: I got my 2 lines a little while ago and I'm over the moon:) Yes, I will be posting my sway:agree: I could have done better and theres things I would have changed but I can honestly say that I would welcome another lady for my brood aswell as a little splash of blue so I'm in a good place:HH: I'll probably get around to doing it tomorrow as house is a tip and I just keep distracting myself and noe getting anything done, DH is gonna know somethings up lol!!Quote:

I got lots of replies from the pink thread as well and so far it is 50-50.:cheerteam: Therefore debunking the moon theory as far as I am concerned.
ELP you crack me up it is 40 weeks from your last menstrual period until the due date therefore you either count back 38 or you count back 40 and then forward for 2 to get to your ovulation day also :fx: for you sounds like you Oed in waning moon so you don't need to care for the moon theory, yet it would have been good to get your stats.
I have only been observing my CM after I finished BF DD2 this month and today it was good thick and with spotting!!! All good signs right. Before this month we were not using any contraception and were not really going to try swaying and I was not getting pregnant, so hopefully I have started ovulating as soon as I stopped the breastfeeding. Only one way to find out right.:wink: We were going to wait till August but I don't think we can. I am getting old and I would really feel so much better if I was pregnant when I went back to work. I really don't feel like going back to work but will love it knowing it is only temporary and that no-one can sack me. I think 6 weeks on the diet is enough what do you think? I am not taking supplements so no need to wait for them to kick in. DH has been complaining that he is "getting meaty" I don't know whether he was talking about himself or trying to tell me something in a nice way but i do not like my boy diet chunks either and I have only been on the diet for less than a month :hair: So I will go and buy those opk things and use them together with my saliva microscope next month and eat like crazy until then.
Welcome Layla!
OMG ELP! Super congrats!!
Welcome Layla, i would say to go on diet for a bit longer to up your chances of getting your boy but that all depends on how you feel.
3PNB, shall we start a thread under swayed for boy because there's quite a few bfps here now. We can obsess about our symptoms etc
Congrats ELP!!!!!Quote:

I've done that lots of times. Just give em a nice tip for being cool. I guess another good one is just saying you are hung over from the night before and just having a water to detox, or you are detoxing for ttc in the next couple of months. There are lots of good excuses.
Layla, don't worry about it too much. The moon is by no means a clincher. Just means that more + ions are present during a full moon and more negative ions during a new moon. It is said that male sperm are more attracted to a + ion egg, so you want to have more + ions around you when you ttc. If the moon is not naturally on your side, and you are worried about this (lots of people disregard, it is not a big swaying factor for most people), you can counteract the ions from the new moon and add positive ions when you dtd. Most of us, just for shits and giggles, I think, put our cell phone and/or laptop on our belly after dtd for a while. Electronics have tons of + ions, which are incidently the bad kind of ions (pollutions and such are all +). I think also air conditioning and electric blankets have been used. But seriously, don't worry about it too much. My cycle is ALWAYS in the new moon, so I just rely on my sitting at a computer all day and putting my cell and computer near me when we attempt, for swaying's sake, really.
:celebrate:CONGRATS, ELP!!!!! Hope this is a sticky little healthy bean for you! You're gonna have to go with NLP pretty soon! LOL!
Alexis, I agree with FF, I think you O'ed later, which is good news, still possible that you are pg and just early. NO STRESSING about it though....it can take a few months and that is totally normal! Just keep your chin up if this isn't your month and know it will be soon!
Kris, hope all works out for you....I guess I'd just go with the IVF also if you can afford it and your donor bails on you. MEN! I know I can't afford all that stuff, so I understand completely why you are trying to do this on your own first, I would do the same thing.
Good luck in the 2ww, Cheeky, TTC5 and ZB! Let's keep this ball rolling! Anyone else in the 2ww that I failed to wish luck to...my bad! LUCK!!!
Tink, I don't know why, but I tend to O at different days each month. Anywhere from CD12-18. I am CD14 today and am actually Oing today (any minute now, actually), although we are skipping this month. Don't worry about it, the supps and swaying can make you vary, but just keep tracking! Most women O on different days anyway, not swaying.
Hope you pregosauruses are doing well. B, don't worry about not eating, just get something in you. I didn't eat anything but a banana and maybe a yogurt for 4 months with DD1 (lost 15 lbs actually, almost had to go into hospital), and suddenly the ms lifted and I ate like Gengis Khan for the next 5 months and gained the 15 back plus 40 on top of it. But, my DD1 is fine and healthy and smart as hell, so don't worry about it. I think most of us have had one that we worried about as we didn't eat much in the beginning. You are doing the right thing, though.....take that vit and try to eat when you can.
What up, Iluv...glad to see you back too, hun. Don't worry about your thyroid meds swaying. Just get it under control and yu will be just fine. Hope you are doing ok!
xxooooooo
