A UK term is 'Jon Thomas' why, I have no idea lol!!!
Hi and welcome! Not to confuse you, but the thing about timing is it's not necessarily proven to be that much of a sway factor (it was more so on IG) and many of us disregard it altogether. I think I can speak for the group here and say that MOST of us are just trying to optimize sperm counts, which is where the dtd every other day comes in....and where the abstinence thing came in back on IG. You can certainly try to just dtd once on O day, but the problem is that you may, for some reason, miscalculate when you ovulated and therefore miss your egg entirely since you only did it once.Quote:

Of course, this requires you to track your ovulation for several months with opks so you know your "pattern" leading up to your ovulation so you can time it right. For example, I know that when my opk is nearly positive on one afternoon at 4pm, it will be very positive the next day, and then I will ovulate a day later. So, we dtd that first day and then again on the O day, getting an O-2 and O timing there. Make sense? I hope I did not confuse you!
All that being said, MANY MANY moms of boys here commented that they got their boy by dtd EVERY day....see this thread:
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...e-got-our-boys!
AND, if you look at charts on Fertility Friend that say "pregnant with boy," most of them have dtd every day or every other day. Most of us have obsessively looked at those, LOL.
Hope this helps!
Oh yeah, I have heard that in a movie. Funny! I wonder who Jon Thomas was, and what made him so special?Quote:

Wow, we are no long G rated lol!!! For our girls...bobo and boys....weinie. I don't remember how it came about, but there it is. And for the record I have never heard member, but I don't really talk about it to other people besides DH....Oh and you guys.
I posted on the 2WW thread about this, but I figure some of you guys may not visit. I have been having the same icky feeling in the evening, like I had last month with the chem preg. It is just kind of confusing. I will be very interested to see if I get a BFP or if it is just going to be common for me in the 2WW.
fx it's a bfp!
Yea, I'm excited about seeing some test results, WP!
Silly me I was trying to be PG...with member. I guess I forgot where i was. Last night DH and I were talking and I said "I just cant believe we are pregnant again, Can you" with the cockiest look on his face, he goes "umm look at me, I wake up and piss excellence" So my birth board from DD is convinced I am having twins because I got a bfp so early and it took so long with DD. As well as Dh thinks Im having twins too. I dont think so, the possiblity of twins 2 times around has to be pretty low...Plus losing DD's twin is still bitter for me. I just want a healthy sticky bean. That's all I care about. I drempt last night i had a really chubby blue eyed baby With no name. I kept telling DH to name him or I would name him Enzo. I like that name. When I drempt about DD, I always drempt girl, so we shall see. I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO.
i like jon thomas. i think iheard thattoo in movies. maybe thats why in the states, they cut it down to just "jon" or renamed it to johnson.
im going to start using jon thomas. even for girls. ;-)
John Thomas is the name of the main male character in Lady Chatterly's Lover by D.H. Lawrence. It's sort of literary porn so that may be where the name came from. I think he actually calls his penis by that name if I remember correctly.
Congrats Tink!
I'm around 9 weeks now, just lurking here and there to see how everyone is doing....hoping for lots of bfps and blue beans!
I agree F, and good luck!!! xxQuote:

Not sure when my next one is, I had my 12 week NT scan 3 weeks ago and I have to see my ob on the 11th for a routine check up. I think my next scan will be somewhere around 18 to 20 weeks?Quote:

I dont know if I am going to do all but might do some diet and timing.
Does anyone know about ions that IG talks about? I am still not clear on below things whether they sway blue or not...
Laser treatments - facials, hair removals etc, Humidifier, Flat Iron and Ionic hair dryer
Tink - congratulations!!! you must be glad to come off the diet.... I think the most difficult thing for me is to stick to the diet....
Welcome Dreamblue!!!
Over here we believe in wholesome, nutritious foods. That includes milk, cheese, yoghurt, eggs and nuts unlike IG ;)
Basically whatever is good for you is good for BLUE!
As for the ions, for TTC blue we are wanting to make use of positive charged ions. These can come from burning incense, TV's, Laptops, Cell Phones, PC Monitors, air conditioners, wearing gold. There are more but this is just a few :)
Tink - Congratultation on the BFP!!! :bluecheer:
dreamblue-welcome! Just like ttc5 said about the ions. And also nice to O on full moon if we are lucky. I burn pine oil too for +ions . Oh and we need just regular hair dryer ,ionic hair dryer makes -ions and we need +.
Foxy-so you pregnant with #7 now? How many girls and boys you have?
How is everyone else?
Hi Dreamblue, welcome over. I personally don't put too much stock in the ions thing, so don't make it a huge focus of your sway. Most of us, just from old IG habit, put our cell phone on the abdomen after dtd for a while...or laptop....and we do still obsess about the moon thing, although in reality, doubt much of that REALLY matters. As you can see, this site has a much more laid back (and sensible, if you ask me) approach to swaying. We are more into diet and taking supplements and vitamins to make you a health machine and have lots of good ewcm. Although like TTC5 above, I think, said, we don't believe in cutting out dairy and having too much salt. I will tell you that I did the IG blue diet for 6 months and gained about 20lbs, and have gained more since then with the high-everything diet, so my advice if you are just starting out is to be careful about how many calories you consume....if you are used to a 1,600 a day diet and suddenly go up to 2,500 like I did, you will get WAY fat in a heartbeat. Many of us here gained a bunch of weight, so I think we have modified our diets, and the challenge is more like a high-everything diet without the massive calories and weight gain factor.
And by the way, I'm not swaying anymore, but have done it for over a year. As you can see from my sig, it's kinda pointless for me to sway, but I sure remember all of it, LOL. Glad to have you here and FX you get a little blue bean soon!
How are YOU, Flava? Doing ok? I'm good, just cried last night because in my fave tv show, Parenthood, one of the characters is having a baby next week and they showed a preview and I just bawled thinking I may never experience that again. My poor DH feels bad, he just cuddled me forever. ): I'm usually pretty strong about it, but I need to get used to the reality that we may never have one.
Dreamblue- coming off IG check out the high everything diet posted here, not nearly as restrictive so much easier to stick to. If you are going to do anything do diet, more important then anything else.
Finally getting cold here and I'm loving it, this baby is cooking me lol I'm getting bigger every day it seems and I'm starting to carry exactly like my girls, glad I already know or I'd be positive he's a girl too.
Lola my love, I hate when tv breaks my heart. After my m/c in Oct i wouldn't watch anying that had a preggo or a baby. That said I love Parenthood and anticipate crying my ass off next week so while you're watching know I'm with you :kiss:
XXOO She's having a girl, too, love that! I am going to CRY like crazy!Quote:

I'm not even going to lie Lola, I love that she's having a girl. They revealed that before my u/s and I was so relieved that I wouldn't have to watch a tv perfect baby boy after hearing girl. Random commercials make me cry these days and I love the Bravermans so oh yes the tears will flow. Good think dh is used to it by now, w/dd1 he thought I was nuts as I'm so not a cryer lol
Wow, nice! I'd be interested to see your sways if you have them and can put them up here. Sure many others would too. Not that I am swaying anymore, LOL, just interesting. When do you find out about #7?Quote:

What is parenthood ? I never saw it.
WHAT??? You had 2 blue sway and both worked?? That is so awesome! Omg what did you do? Please you have to tell me because this will be my last baby so last chance and I also swayed with DD3 and 4 but no boy yet...Quote:

Jen -what is the Bravermans? also no clue lol
Lola- did you loose any weight yet? at least that must feel good...how is DH you guys do another test? You don't take your temps so I can't stalk it.
Wait a min. Foxy you are a u/s tech student? Ohhh we can all post our pics for you lol That's so cool! ( well i hope I will)
Hey Flava, I'm ok. We haven't done another test, but to be honest, I am tired of tests. I've read that sperm counts can fluctuate, but the docs don't think he needs another. They want him to see an RE, which we may do someday, but it's just tons more $ to spend (insurance doesn't cover infertility) and I already have huge bills from past tests and ultrasounds. Freaking insurance. Anyway, to be honest, I'm just over dealing with the doctors right now, and just want to be healthy and have him eat really well and take his fancy vitamins and see what happens. I did lose about 10lbs in the past 2 weeks, which is nice. I'm just back to my regular bird-like diet and my new fat pants (size 12) I bought at Target are already hanging off me and my old ones (size 10) are even feeling a bit loose, which is awesome.Quote:

It will most likely be natural, I'll tell you that. We aren't doing any IVF. I just don't want to become super poor to MAYBE make a baby, and then be poor until he/she is like 7 years old paying its conception off. I just think we are going to try until we have one or I stop ovulating and become too old, whichever happens first.
Flava, don't feel like your sway can't work. Obviously, it is a crapshoot as to whether or not they work, but there have been lots of lucky swayers who got their boy, and just because yours didn't before doesn't mean it won't work again!
Lola- Oh Wed morning I'll be ready to dish lol
Flava- Parenthood is a fantastic show on Tues nights on NBC, the Bravermans are the family on the show.
That's the family in the tv show we apparently both love, it's called Parenthood on Tues nights at 10pm. Awesome show.Quote:
