TTC Girl - March 2012

I saw a January thread like this and thought i would make one for us ttc in March as im not sure where to post my questions etc!

Im am currently on CD1 and my diet starts today :worry: i am also going to start DH and I on our suppliments today in prep for our attempt in March. Is this too soon to start taking them???

I will be taking vitex, saw palmetto, folic acid and baby aspirin.
DH will be taking licquorice root and baby aspirin.

Our attempt will be mid/end March, DH will abstain as im sure he has super :bluesperm: he only needs to sneeze and im pregnant with a :DS:
We will attempt for O+12 with only one attempt no big O for me and i will jump and dump.
Will also be using rephresh and replens and zyrtec.

We currently have 3 :DS: and would love to add alittle :DD: to our lives.

Here's to lots of BFPs 2012 and babies 2012/2013!

Hi I won't be much help!i am still learning myself,just wanted to send you lots of pink dust and good luck with your sway x

Thank you ynwa xxx

If anyone could just check over my dosages and tell me i have got them right that would be fab.

Me: Vitex - 400mg - 2 tabs per day AF-O
Saw Palmetto - 450mg - 1tab per day AF-O
Folic Acid - 400mg - 2tabs per day all the time
Baby Aspirin - 75mg - 2tabs per week can increase as go on (this is the one i am most confused by)

DH: Licorice Root - 420mg - 3tabs per day AF-O
Baby Aspirin - 75mg - 1tab per day till conception??

Going to start today but should i leave any of them till nearer March or do i start them all now???

Thanks xxx

Thanks for making this a sticky x

Wishing you best of baby girl luck! I won't be much help. I'm still learning =) I'm curious to see what is said about your dosages, especially about saw palmetto and baby aspirin with both being blood thinners. So much to learn!

GL, I am so going to try in March!

hi nks798, Good Luck with TTC in March.

The wait was killing me and i got a silly feeling this month that we should try so we did...eeek!

Are you going to be swaying? This place has so much info, its just fabulous!!!

Hi evryone :wave:
I attempted this month I ended up with a 3 day cut off so we attempted a o+12 aswell but I am now just waiting for af to arrive , I have had a fair few bfns I am 12dpo . we will be skipping an attempt in feb and looking forward to march.

HappyLea, I am going to *try* to sway.. try, bc I am so brand new to this.. I am a little overwhelmed. I keep thinking, yes.. then no, then yes.. then no lol. what I really want to do that is going to be a little difficult at first is the diet. I am at work from 7:30-5 so I basically have breakfast here and lunch. how do I explain my lunches to my coworkers? I KNOW they will ask. I am also trying to get some ideas as to what to have for lunches. I know that skipping breakfast is the best way to go.. I am trying to do it slowly. this week, I've been having a wheat muffin. also, what is hard for me is drinking something other than water.. but I know that I can get CL to add to it.. so CL is on my grocery list for sure. sigh.. so much to think about.. and.. I also am not clear on supps. I just got some cranberry last night.. do I take that the whole month or just from af to o? sorry for the long ramble!! just a newbie here lol

hi, pinkin2011 :wave: I'm ready for March also!!

We're attempting in March as well!

I believe that is a lot of SP. The does should be 320mg daily af-o.
Your plan looks very ambitious. 1 time attempt @ o+12, j&d plus 3 jellies....it might be very very hard to concieve with all that. Have you thought about posting your plan on "review my swaying plan" and getting some feedback. Its for dream members but it might be a really good idea for you to do. Just a thought.

You're boys are very cute. 3 blondies like mine :)

I am sure I will be jumping in here next month.
I just got my af and will be due to o on the 22nd of Feb. Hopefully I will be getting my BFP the 1st week in March on this forum!

I'm trying march as well and started the diet yesyerday! I am basically starving but i just have to work out the quirks as i have never counted calories before so really have no idea! I think i am depending on getting a bfp in march because i am so focused... better get used to the idea of it not happening!!

I'd like to join! I hope to TTC in march for a december baby girl!!
I'm following the girl diet from genderconsult and my blood will be checked this week and if everything is fine (minerales in the right levels) then I have a green light for a try.

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.......

hello, everyone :) good to see more ttc in March! I've been on the LE diet since January 31st and it seems like a lot longer than that lol.. I Just wish the weeks would hurry up and fly by!

Yes......looking forward to eat normal again.
I even dream about food, lol! When I'm pregnant me and DH are going to a restaurant for celebration!

my cycle was really funny this month (got off mirena end of Dec) so got a period first of Jan and this last one was 3rd of Feb. so, I'm not sure yet lol.. I'll be testing for sure.

Hello ladies.....I just wanted to join in. I am going to TTC in March. I have 5 boys....I am originally from IN Gender. I did EGS with baby 5 for a girl and got my 5th boy. I was going to go high tech but recently after going through testing and scheduling backed out! My husband and I just thought we have one shot and its a lot of money to gamble and not possibly get pregnant. With a lot of thought I have come to another avenue on this journey. I am going to do a sperm wash or spinning instead. It's not Micro sort (which my RE doesn't even recommend) and its not the Erickson method either. It's called Kaneko Percoll method. I have someone that I know who did it and was successful first try. I know its not like PGD and the % of getting a girl is only about 75-80% but It is definately not as evasive as IVF. I am still taking supps for myself and my hubby...have been for months now. I will be taking clomid as requested by my doctor. 50Mg for 5 days before. I have just ovulated this month, so now the wait begins. Early March when I get aunt Flo, I will start my clomid and go in for Ultra sound monitoring and go from there. My doctor told me that she is going to do the IUI when my eggs is ready to be released for menstration. I will be closely monitored with ultrasound during the process. She said that more girls are conceived during this time of Ovulation (which would be O+12). So with the IUI she is going to wait till right before the egg is going to be released to inseminate me. She does this with close monitoring. I know this is crazy being as I have 5 boys already, but I have faith...faith this will happen for me....faith in my dr. She is one of the best with this. I have to believe that this will work out for me. If you ladies only knew how long my journey has been with wanting a girl (or gender dreaming). The things I have done....made my husband do...the supps over the years I have taken...made my husband take. The crazy experiments I have had to do with test tubes, egg whites, checking PH, eating, not eating. I even went to an amusement park with a Diva Cup inside me to get pregnant with a girl. I feel like I am going crazy....obsessed as my hubby would say! It's my time....I deserve this! This is 100% my final time at this....and my God, I better succeed!! This is it...if it doesn't work...it's over for me!!! Good lUck ladies! Hopefully we will all be preggo with GIRLS in March! Sorry for the condensed version of my story...a bit choppy but you get where I am coming from!!!

GL 5 Gorgeousboyz!!

Hi girls, I´m joining in if that´s okey?
March will be out second attempt:)

I´m still waiting to see out february attempt, but got negative test at 10 dpo so I will probably be here in march as well:)

Almost march so i'm calling all ttc march girl to join!!

I'm on CD 13 right now and expecting to ovulate around CD 18/ CD 19.

Almost there!!!

How do you girls sway?

I am on the girl diet from genderconsult and planning on a hot shower for me and DH before BD. Low stress so I have a week off from work starting coming saturday. I'm also surrounding myself with ions. Started smoking (quit when ovulation is confirmed with temps and OPK). Still doubting on baby aspirin and douching with low ph solution.

wow I'm shocked by that - I think that's one of the more extreme things I've ever heard of anyone doing for a sway!
is there evidence it sways in women? did genderconsult recommend that?

I have to agree Rainbow. I really have to question how much smoking sways and is it really worth the health risk?

I think I remember reading that it doesn't sway that much. I have a friend who is a heavy smoker and she conceived 2 boys. the first one, I would say she had more of a girl friendly diet and was super thin.. her second, she had more boyish diet and she was heavier. so IDK..

No, it's not recommended by gender consult, something from my own twisted mind ;-)
I will not put my baby's health at stake so that's why I quit when i ovulated. I really don't care if I live 2 years (for example) shorter if this helps to bring me my girl. I know it's sways only by a few %.

Here is te study: Smoking couples 'more likely to conceive a girl' - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent

Hey all. No doubt I'll be here TTC in March. Have had 2 wacky cycles (Jan & Feb) so am hoping I can be more patient in March and just let things happen if they are meant to. Probably due to O towards the end of March, but I am not going to obsess over the dates FF tells me this time, as my body is on a whole different program!

Some of you will be attempting quite soon. All the best!

hi guys well after my false positive il be ttc girl in march have no idea when il O as im not even sure i O at all this month now, good luck to you all,

Can't believe its March tomorrow??!! This year is going so fast even thought the waiting around for attempts and the the 2ww drag like hell this year is certainly flying by.

Well im 8dpo and if i dont get BFP this month i will try again in March.

:luck: everyone x

Good luck all the ladies TTC pink in March!

Was pinkin the only BFP we got from Feb???? Or did I miss someone? (Sorry if I did!)

I still think pray for princess has good chance. And Pray for princess to reassure you, I've read that gender does not determine when the baby implants, so boy or girl could be a late implanter. It's all about how fast / slow the whole process goes. I did get a BFP at 9 or 10 dpo this pregnancy but I'm sure I would have gotten if it with my boys too if I hadn't been so clueless about concieving them, LOL.

I still think you'll get a BFP, at least I'm hoping. The blood worries me a little, though it probably was implantation bleeding, even though you didn't have a lot of it, the fact that it kept coming is a bit like 'huh'? Though not trying to scare you or worry you hun...I still think you could have an awesome shot at getting a BFP.

Hi everyone! CD9 here and so ready to get a BFP that I can't stand it! My info is in my siggy and I hoping for my pink dream to arrive November 2012!!!

Many girly vibes and blessings to you all!!!

Littlemiss - you are not out of the game yet! Hang in there with me...you still have plenty of time for your bfp to appear. Don't give up on me now....

Thank you Auroara! I think I still have a good chance too. I just want the bfp to come so I can be sure.
I am sooo hungry too. I have been on the diet for what seems like forever - but 9 weeks and never has the eating only 2x day and low calories bothered me. Last few days, its killing me. All I wanna do it eat all day. Bit of light bleeding again today for about 1 hour. That's it. It comes and then its gone. Temp's are still really high. Lord know's. BFP pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease come soon!
Dh has invited a friend over for dinner tomorrow night and I am wondering what to make. I found this delicious Cabernet Short Ribs with Parmesan polenta recipe I reeeally wanna try making -- I hope I see those 2 lines in the morning (12dpo) and I will be racing to the store for the ingredients.

hey PFP il hang on with you hun, im praying we get our BFPS tomorrow please god let us have some pink beans in our bellies to take home forever in 9 months time, oh and twins would be great thanks ! lol,

Hi, ladies! I will be joining you! Although I don't think I will actually be O'ing until April, by the time I take the Provera to get af, get af, take the clomid and O. So much! Anyways! Hello!
