Alberta, eh? Swaying pink for number 5 in a few months. Assuming I can get pregnant.
Hi blueeyedguys! I'm swaying pink for 5 too!!! I'm 38, and times ticking.

good idea for a thread! we already have one going for UK and Australia!
I'm 40. My youngest was born just after I turned 38. He was an oops. Stupid weird cycles. He's totally awesome, though. When he isn't being totally 2.
Both dh & I only ever wanted girls. Actually, dh only wanted one kid, maybe 2. Can't believe I talked him into a 5th. Well, he actually always said if it was guaranteed a girl, he'd go for it. With no HT here & not being independently wealthy (yet! :) ), I guess just increasing the chance of a girl was enough to persuade him.
Hey girls! I didn't sway this last time but did for my 3rd but I have to join since I'm Canadian;)
I'm from BC! Good luck!!!!
I am in Alberta:)
So nice to meet you all!!! Are any if you keeping tabs on your PH? I'm wondering where to get litmus paper or test kits in an actual store.

I'm from Alberta! Hoping to start trying for #3 this year sometime… I'm 37 so not tons of time and seeing as I have 2 beautiful boys already I'd love to sway to increase my odds for a girl.
Yes swayed hard with #3 til third month and then kinda loosened up too much at the end which gave me my lovely 3rd boy, whom I adore!
Then accidentally (like really were NOT trying) and am pregnant with #4 which we just found out on Friday is a girl!
Def some things we happened to do helped produce that girl looking back I think;)Quote:

I just turned 38 so I feel ya. I just had Ds 4 so I'm playing a waiting game. Started phasing in le diet this week, not really trying to lose to much too fast since I'm breast feeding, but dh and I know we want ONE more. (Wish I could "duggar-it-out" lol)Quote:

Sometimes my husband is totally on board with having a 3rd and other days he really doesn't think he's up to the work involved in taking care of 3 little ones. I wish I had all the time in the world and could wait until at least my DS2 was in kindergarten. I'm up for the hard work involved but it definitely has to be a team effort! That being said it kind of annoys me when he goes back and forth because we had always talked about 3 and now I feel like he's going back on our deal. Wondering if anyone else has ever had a similar experience with their significant other?
Yup. Dh has been going back & forth on #5 for at least a year now. He's finally stayed convinced for more than a few days, so hopefully he's really onboard, since I've started trying to cut calories & reduce snacking already.

My dh is up for this last. What saddens me is in my heart I'm so certain I'll get a boy. And it's not the boy that bothers me, as much as it's the LAST BABY and that beaks my heart, as that door closes for good idk what shape I'll be in :(

Maybe that's the key - showing our commitment, maybe that helps sway them one more timeQuote:

Still not planning to sway for a few months & not sure how I can possibly do LE. Whenever I try to get down to even 1800, I'm so hungry. And I usually go over for fat & protein.
This part is the hardest for me too. My fat and protein are higher than I'd like and my calories are usually between 1600 and 1700. But I try to remind myself that I've lost 10 pounds and my totals are still lower than before. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will get easier.Quote:

Part of me thinks I should just be happy. I have 4 healthy, awesome boys. My youngest is ready to be done with diapers...I should take it as a win & move on to next stage of my life. Part of me thinks I'll always wonder "what if" if I don't at least try.
So I have no idea what I'm doing, basically. lol
Less is still less. It's still turning the radio dial from where you were, to a more pink-friendly direction.Quote:

I think people get the impression that if they can't stick to a strict LE, that they may as well not do anything. But that just isn't the case. Do the doable and that is WAY better than trying to stick to a diet that makes you miserable and keeps swaying in the forefront of your mind the whole time. :)
Hey, that's where I was at for a bit. Questioning my desires; if u was being selfish - am I too old? All that stuff...Quote:

That being said if I do have a boy and if I do experience GD I know I'll be ok; I had mega GD for weeks with ds 3.... Not 4, just 3.

Thanks for the replies! I've sort of been on a break from here, trying to figure out what I'm doing. I still don't know & dh is worse than I am!
Seriously considering just getting on the methyl folate & not bothering with protection, let fate decide.
I am still trying to only eat 2 or at most 3 times a day, with the 3rd time quite small...tonight it was an orange. And I usually end up fasting for at least 13 hours. A few days this week was more like 16 hours. And I've been taking CoQ10 or Ubiquinol every day (minus a few I missesd) since around October.
And we may have figured out how to get a treadmill after Christmas.
So, I still can't decide but at least I'm doing SOMETHING, just in case.
How's everyone else doing?
Still no AF.... I thought I had o pain a few weeks back but I guess not :(
