Hi from Australia- TTC pink!
Hi Atomic & everyone!
I'm a mum of 2 beautiful boys 3 & 1.5 who I absolutely adore, we are now hoping to add a little princess to our family in 2020.
This will definitely be our last baby as I suffer with severe HG through my entire pregnancies, so between being on drips in hospital and trying my best to raise two energetic boys I don't think I could go through that kind of sickness more than 3 times- people think we are crazy for wanting a 3rd child, but my husband and I don't feel as though our family is complete yet and whether we have a boy or girl, we just feel like we are meant to be a family of 5.
I am so happy that I stumbled across this site in January, I did see the IG site, but GD and Atomic's explanations on everything just made so much more sense and I realised I have always led such a boy friendly lifestyle and when I think of all the people I know with multiple girls they really match the girl lifestyles which gives me so much hope.
I started on the LE diet in February, 12 weeks before our 1st attempt, and started the exercise 6 weeks prior. I had already lost 8kg since July 2018 and have lost a further 6kg since starting the LE diet. I have now upped my calories while still staying within the fat and protein limits to try to hold steady as I am at a BMI of 20.5 and I don't want to do anything to effect my ovulation.
We had our first attempt at the end of April, but unfortunately it wasn't successful. I had my latest positive OPK on Monday 27/5 and we had our 1 attempt the same day, so fingers and toes are crossed for this month! Whatever happens I'm content knowing I've done everything I can to get my little girl and if it turns out to be a 3rd boy, then that's just what is meant to be!
Good luck to everyone else trying this month! xx
