Lola, that super stinks about your DH stealing your future baby's name!! I hope you get a boy, like your DH says, so you won't need a girl name anyway. :)

So we have been bd'ing every 48 hours for the last few days (around O) anyway... he is trying to lose this weight that he gained from swaying the past 12 months. He has been weighing daily and weighed this morning pre sex and then again after sex and comes running to me "Babe!! I dropped 400gms.. I deposited 400gms of sperm in you!!!" LMFAO he was so proud... if only it really was that much I'd be sure to catch the egg then HAHAHAHA

LOL 5!! That sounds like something my DH would say to make me smile :). I'm glad he can help cheer you up, it's good for you right now.

Keeping FX for you hun! I get the pink tinge too when we DTD right around AF time. I really hope you'll get a BFP soon. I didn't get a BFP with my second or third until I was a week late!

Yes we DTD last night. Got some more cramps over night.
Really not sure what day to count as O day ? Maybe I just start testing 10days from now ?

Super unhealthy, and made me get fat and feel terrible in only 6 months time. There are a bunch of good info posts about the diets.....look in the sticky note section of the boy swaying board. When I get back from a break at work, I will try to repost some. But yes, that is the gist of it. Higher calories, higher nutrients, and a nice and steady blood sugar all lend to more boys.

Thank you SO much! I don't know why I never went to read the diet stuff on here after I left IG because the site went to crap. I figured it was the same, so I'm SO GLAD y'all were discussing it! SInce I looked everything up on here the past couple of days, I've been doing the HE diet. Do you think 2 weeks is enough of it after doing IG for 2 months with a 2 week break off everything over Christmas? Also, I typically eat meat at every meal anyway because that's how my mom cooked growing up, so I continued that style of cooking with my family. Before I was stressing over the breads, etc. that contained calcium so the only carbs I was eating was fruits, potatoes, rice. It's been such a relief the past 2 days to feel like i can pretty much eat normal like I usually would except to avoid diet drinks, coffee, sweets like I would in the past. I must say when I had my 2 girls I was probably overdosing on dairy--milk at every meal, yogurt, and ice cream too. So even though what I read said dairy is ok I'm still limiting it these couple of weeks.

I think the recommendation is 6 weeks, but if you were already doing the IG diet I am guessing it wouldn't be that big a deal to switch, as long as you were eating a lot of calories before, and doing the carbs+protiens, and keeping your blood sugar up. It is hard to eat all day long and keep yourself from being hungry!

Well, I was def. eating higher calories all over the place due to all the eating out we were doing over the holidays with my DH home. And I had lost a bunch of weight up until October then gained during the IG diet and gained 2 more pounds over the holidays. So, I think I inadvertently did things right anyway!

Hey everyone :)

Hobber, not testing for another 5 days. I'm not even impatient this time round which is a nice feeling. I'll have to go have a read of your other thread about your timing etc.

Cinss, good luck testing tomorrow!

Lola, maybe it's karma that your DH got a not so good looking baby!

Skrimpy, glad that you didn't O (feels odd saying that!). No temp shift?

5, your DH sounds adorable. How are you going?

Back to the drawing board for me, AF came on last night while DTD. My cycle was 36 days long, so bummed, so long to wait for the next shot. You girls with short cycles should consider yourselves lucky in that aspect.

Still no temp shift for me so I haven't O'd. My chart says I did due to the peak on the monitor and it's driving me nuts. I'm waiting to see if it will remove the O day once it realizes my temps have def not shifted. I'm curious if my periods will start back now, though, since my body seems to have tried to ovulate.

I am sending out ALL my baby dust to you gals. You can keep it til next year!

Everyone around me is dreaming that I am pregnant or giving birth to a boy... 2 of my daughters have now dreamt it! I also got an email from a girl I grew up with (although we do not see each other anymore) she said she dreamt I had another baby and had a boy.

Why is everyone dreaming this lol and noone knows we are even TTC!!!!!????
