Yea, I have also noticed that in the past year with giving my girls a good children's multi as well as a kid's DHA/fish oil, they have not gotten sick at all! I give them acai juice every morning to wash it down, too. I am all about some immunity boosters for kids. I hope your dds and you feel better soon!Quote:

When I started ttc in April this bluebird couple moved in our oak tree and made a nest and has some baby birds. So I took it as a sign that I can try ttc for a boy.And now they are back again! I even have a bird feeder on that tree lol. Ok I know it's silly but whatever...
Oh thanks so much ! Tell me if it works! Im on prenatal and wheatgrass and grape seed and what not and I still get sick in no time!:mad:Quote:

Lola where do you buy that kids fish oil?
I got mine either at Vitamin Shoppe or at a health food store, there are a few brands. This is the one mine take: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/e...jsp?id=GU-1112. I hate that your baby is sick, that does take the process with night waking back to the beginning! It's hard to not catch what you kids do, they are in a germ cesspool for half of their waking hours each day at school. My girls are funny, they watch me and DH take our loads of supps and said they wanted some too, and now they are all about their vitamins, which I can't argue with at all!Quote:

symptoms before testing
- Exhausted (I thought maybe it was just my busy life)
- sore boobs
- nausea
- thirsty
- dizzy
And of course since 10dpo they have gotten worse. I am so tired today my eyes are about to cross, but I keep telling myself....this is a good thing. I did have aches and cramps, but no worse than AF. And if this doesn't top it off....I started a new excercise program, that is intense cradio and weights, at about 4-5 dpo and I thought....if I am preggo this bean better hold on and if not then maybe I can stop gaining weight. I just got so tired of putting it off and I wanted a routine I could take into pregnancy. So, you just never know.
Lola: I thought of you poor DH when mine was so proud of himself. I will keep his sperm in my prayers...I know weird, but God will understand.
Tink: So glad the spotting stopped.
I like that sign, too, Flava. Let's go with it!Quote:

:kissy: You are so sweet! I know, it is hard on him. This kind of thing makes men feel like less of a man for sure. I think God is totally ok with sperm prayers, wouldn't be the first one, that's for sure.Quote:

Got me thinking, maybe the DHEA and the TT helped his testosterone level enough to make some more sperm those months. I am really thinking that he has a low T level because his sex drive has vanished and he is tired all the time. Which may have to do with A) me being fat now, and B) his job is pretty exhausting. So anyway, he's at the vitamin store now, LOL.
wahoooooo wp. our due dates must be close!
where has iluv been!?
WP- wow such a dark line at 12 dpo! I don't know about intense cardio while pregnant. I guess I would not do it.
Im sure I will keep up the diet for a wile too just in case and not doing hard workouts for sure.
Flava - Thank you so much for your responses. You are so nice in all your posts and enjoy reading them...Quote:

Cemas- not sure about my girls but this one was conceived in a male sign. I haven't found anything that's right for all of mine though.
Flava- I like your sign too, run with it :)
Wp- woohoo!
Lola- tell him to scarf those sups, worked before right so it's totally worth a shot!
Dreamblue- base your sway on the high everything diet, more important then anything else.
I second that Tink, where the hell is Iluv?

Thanks 3P1B....seriously I am now way more relaxed with the sway on this site than IG. But I also wonder how can swaying be so easy.....no microscope, syringe, test tubes....haha....i used to think of these when i think about swaying on IG...now I am thinking about eating healthy......that's pretty much it....gender means more to me than DH so that takes lot of pressure off of me....I just have to make myself happy about whatever I do with this sway....
Well the cardio is intense, but only 20 minutes total workout, so I don't get too hot and not working out too long. It's fun and something I will be able to do almost until the end.....modifying a little.Quote:

Basically my vit d levels, excessive cardio, restricted low nutrient calories and use of sperm hostile lube all needed to be changed.
Oh and ITA with WP, HE is about feast time so LOTS of healthy foods.
Focus on diet first, you want to change your internal environment (your pH and good EWCM) to favour that of the boy sperm. Secondly, apply the timing technique, but this comes second to the diet. Your body overall needs to be "well nourished" to accomodate a boy, more girls are born to mothers who tend to eat less/diet/lose large amounts of weight and less muscle tone.Quote:

Hmmm, are you having greasy food or lots of red meat lately? Maybe have a bsd to calm it, that helps!Quote:

Thanks , I try to help when I can. Just do the HE diet good I do the same and eat nuts and dry fruit every day too.Quote:

Since then, a lot of the moderators have found more studies and come to some brilliant conclusions that much of it IS theory, but some has some science behind it. You really have to decide what you feel comfortable with and what you put stock in as far as helping you....and some trial and error with supplements and such. Basically, there are three things that we think helps: increasing your DH's sperm count and the sperm count inside you when you ttc, increasing your ewcm and getting the best and most fertile cervical mucus you can, and lastly, and maybe most importantly, having a good, high nutrient diet and not letting your blood sugar drop. (The diet and blood sugar thing is based on the Trivers-Willard Hypothesis, where males are conceived more often from the "top" women who have a plentiful diet and hence, are more likely to survive because male babies need more nutrients and such in the womb and after....whereas females are more likely to be conceived by women who have poor diets because they can survive with less....that is it in a nutshell.) Hope this helps you plan what you want to do....of course, there are a ton of excellent sticky posts under TTC Boy, and I would spend some time reading ALL of them before you make a plan. We are here for your questions, though!Quote:

Anyway atomic said 7.7 is pretty good because they like to hang out in that pH so they may live longer in it I guess, but I hope we can go to 8...I would be happy for that.
Well it's 7.9 today. I guess we can get to 8 by O he just have to stop the vit. C stuff .
(but it's not like we don't try with this pH lol)
set up is almost exactly like this site but info is exactly like IG and some from justmommies (altho i think justmommies copied ig)Quote:
