Goodluck ladies, am also hoping to ttc this month, though haven't confirmed yet due to DH being away to work. GDL ladies, wish u ur dream genders.
Good luck to you as well! I have only been on the diet 6 weeks. I was told it's much easier to make the enviornment better than to make it worse. I was also told that when you are swaying for boy, you are helping your fertility so I hope this helps you!Quote:

Good luck princess of pink. Hope a blue one catched the egg :)
KikiCal when we were going to start IVF our Dr said that what DH did 3months ago would effect his sperm now so I assume 1 month would not be enough but I would try anyway. I'm to impatient.
So I have read alot about people putting on weight doing a boy diet. I am actually loosing weight as I normally eat alot of yogurt, custard and ice-cream. I am not having any dairy now except milk in my tea and the occassional bit of cheese. Do you think this is a problem and will sway pink? I am having rolled oats every morning with V8 or pineapple juice but wondering if I should have something else also.
Ollynem i was losing weight on the boy diet and was lucky enough to get a boy, i think it is all up to what you nourish your body with, in the case of starving yourself to lose weight would sway pink.
Thanks Cinss I'm definately not starving myself. I think I am eating really well maybe abit to much readmeat and large quantities I think its the reducion in the sugar content of the icecream and yogurt thats doing it. Plus the yogurt and icecream were often after lunch and dinner as extras. So maybe I am not eating enough seeing as I probably have reduced calories although it wasnt intentional.
Thanks for the response. That is what I figured, I was just wondering (hoping) that there might be some benefits immediately from taking the supplements.Quote:

It has taken some planning but I will eat cereal and almonds, crackers with sliced meat, larabars, V8 and almonds, cantaloupe with peanuts. I am trying not to eat too many nuts because they're so fattening but it's an easy protein to take to work with me. I have also been drinking a protein shake after working out. I feel like this helps me eat throughout the day but with smaller portions. I still feel like I'm getting flabbier but I'm trying to not let it bother me. I'm lifting weights 4 times a week for 25-35 minutes and cardio 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes. I'm hoping if it takes awhile to get pregnant this will help the weight gain. Hope that helps.
If your missing your ice cream Ollynem here is a great substitute - Banana Peanut butter Icecream
Ingredients - 2 ripe bananas, 1 tbs natural peanut butter'
Method - Peel the bananas, slice them, and place slices on a plate. Freeze for at least two hours.
Place frozen bananas and peanut butter in a food processor and blend well. Enjoy immediately or freeze in a glass container until solid.
You can put melted dark chocolate or shredded coconut on top if you wish :)
Enjoy.
Kikical I think I know what you mean, Iam constantly getting hungry so I eat more often, just basically grazing through the day. Being on this diet has really sped my metabolism up quite abit. Even though Iam doing treadmill 3xs and weight 3-4 I still feel big Ive gone butch!! Lol it's so horrible
PoP have you had any attempts??
Exactly how I feel!Quote:

GOOD LUCK this month ladies!
So sorry for your loss. I have experienced something similar and it's not fun. Welcome to ttc again and good luck!! Hope it's a short journey for you.
Yep sure have!! Fingers crossed!Quote:

Or if it was a faulty test? Cheapie today looks closer to +ve than yesterday. Temps don't reflect O. Will keep testing and see what happens.
Welcome back otp and so sorry for your loss, hope you get a quick BFP!
onthepond so sorry about MC. Princessofpink I wish you a very goodluck dear. You will be changing your name soon from princessofpink to "Princessofpink&blue". Bless.
Thanks so much hon, I sure hope so!Quote:

Are you keeping track of EWCM and other Ovulation signs?
Adpotapom glad to see you back, Sorry about your loss wish you the best and a Healthy sticky bean! i wouldnt worry as long as your geting protein +carbs or atleast nutritious food. Even the strongest of strong sways doesnt always guarantee you desired gender so there is no reason to say you wouldnt get yours.
I use CBDigital, the surge could be detected once and then OV within 12-48 hours. I usually get only one or two +ve on my clear blue digital within 24hours.
I think CBFM detects the surge a day or 2 before O and the cheapies detect it very close to O day, i never used a CBFM but i keep seeing ladies post about how they dont match the cheapies. When i was using the cheapies i would always get a + 1 day before or on O day.
Adpotapom I too am sorry about your loss.
I must be different as When I get a +OPT I usually don't O for 3-5days. Seriously. When I was ttc my last I was doing ovulation tracking as we were not getting pregnant so it was confirmed by ultrasound and BT. I suspected I was Ovulating much later then the 12-36hrs the packet said due to temps, ovary pain and then my period was always longer then 14-15days after the day I thought I had O'd. So perhaps keep BDing a few days after to make sure there are still fresh swimmers in there. Well thats what we will be doing anyway.
I am at a very boring stage of my cycle. I have about a week to go until AF arrives and then my AF goes for 7-8days so it feel likes 3-4weeks yet before I will O again. Boring :)
Ollynem i had really long cycles too, so i feel your pain, some ladies in my group would actually O twice in the time i would get my 1 shot, it was really frustrating having to wait so long every time.
Why are there so many more threads for ttc a girl? Is that because the success rate is not as high?
I think because so many more women are TTC a girl than TTC a boy. Don't know why? Maybe more women out there are content having all girls?
Well statistically more boys are born all over the world regardless of swaying so more women would be getting families without daughters than without sons. Also i think gender desire is effecting women more than men because we are the emotional ones, so we go looking for answers online. I wonder if there is a mens forum where they talk about how they desire a son, probably not. I think we are all really lucky to have our little girls and i wish every woman ttc pink could have one. I would be in those threads too if i had only ever had boys.Quote:
