Pink swayers' December thread

[rainbowflower]

It seems a lot of girl sways I'm seeing only involve one attempt but I really want to do more than one. Will this "cancel out" the sperm lowering measures (frequent release, rephresh etc) or are others doing this as well?

we'll be doing more than one attempt too. We have never conceived first month before, and want to get pregnant fast.
I'll be using RepHresh which will lower the pH between attempts so shouldn't cancel out the lower sperm count

Yeah - this diet really does a number on our diets, pinkin. I'm on CD4 now and hoping to have my attempt in about a week.

We actually have conceived the 1st month with both our other children but I also would like to conceive fast this time as well if at all possible. So I'm thinking we might do FR and rephresh along with a few attempts. Although I don't think I'm going to do extra rephresh the day of BD. I'm just not sure there are so many options.

Hi ladies, I am again swaying another month for a precious baby girl! I would love to wait with you all. Many blessings on +HPTs!!!

Welcome Kraizy Daisy!

Mocha, I love how you and Jen are both in the camp of having multiple attempts! Wishing for a fairy on IG BD'ed like I think 6 days in a row and got a girl, I do think its possible, definitely with rephresh helping to keep the Ph down, since I think raising ph is one of the reasons frequent BD'ing is a no no. I also realize more sperm is supposedly bad for a girl sway, but since my boys were one shot pull out wonders (what does that say about that LOWERED sperm count?? According to sperm count theory alone, they should have been GIRLS!) I am considering doing the opposite hoping for an opposite effect...essentially BD'ing as much as can (poor DH, can he handle it? LOL) and using Rephresh to keep PH in check.

We'll see. I'm sure if I dropped rephresh totally we'd get pregnant easily, but I feel that using rephresh is going to require more BD'ing to get pregnant. I really want to get pregnant in late Dec as like I said I need to avoid Jan, and I really don't want to spend months on this diet TTC'ing.

It's so hard not obessing about swaying, LOL.

Jen, have you O'ed yet? You guys done BDing? How many attempts did you get in?

Lemon, are you O'ing soon? What's going on with you, babe?

I am waiting for AF to show up today, and so far there is like NO sign which is pissng me off, LOL. I do NOT want a late AF, that's just gonna throw off my ovulation and make me annoyed, lol. I really want to O on Christmas Day, so she better show up today or else :P

Also, I really want to hurry up and get a BFP becuz if our late Dec Christmas attempt is a NO, I will be skipping Jan, as I don't want my two kids to share a birth month if possible!

Auroara, I completely understand that! Hoping you get it on this first try so you don’t have to sit out a month…Come on, AF!!! I hope you get it today so you can get your pink party started soon!!!


Regarding your strategy, I say go w/your gut and do what feels right. IMHO, as long as you don't get into it too much BD a bunch is good if you're using something like RepHresh. Also, trust in the diet. I think it's one of the biggest factors by FAR.

Jen, have you O'ed yet? You guys done BDing? How many attempts did you get in?

Check out my chart (in my siggie)...No O yet. It feels like my body is still trying to decide whether or not to do it this cycle. It's frustrating and I'm trying to relax but I'm not having much success. I have this dream of waiting until Christmas day to test and then getting that long awaited BFP but I'm feeling like I honestly may be out this cycle.

Hope, so sorry you are out and now you’ll not be able to TTC until Jan That sucks, Mama! Since it’ll be awhile, go treat yourself to a nice cheat day or two! You deserve it!!!

my big scan has been booked for the 12th of jan!!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! So exciting!!!!!

[Out of the Blue]

Today I went to the dr for a check up and I told him I am ttc again , He is our family dr and a very good one... He laughed and said well I can already tell you the gender it will be a boy he said coming from your husbands family there are only boys and he laughed.. My 3 yr old son then went on to say I want a baby sister which he always says and my dr laughed at him and said yes maybe oneday. I always read so much into what everyone says now i feel like giving up as my MIL believes I will never get a girl and tells me not to even mention anything about having a baby girl because its just not going to happen.. Really upset my day it has! So I had a cheese and bacon roll for lunch and now I feel worse!!!! I just feel like whats the point putting myself thru this not just the diet but the stress of everything else that goes with it when I will get another boy anyway. Sorry but I am just down about it all now..

HUGS, HUGS and more HUGS for you, Mama! Yesterday was a bad day for me too. I’m so sorry. Try not to punish yourself about lunch. Just move on b/c one meal isn’t going to break things for you. It's the overall trend that matters! Your MIL sounds like my Mom unfortunately. Although I lost my girl, it felt good to let my Mom know she was indeed a girl b/c it felt like maybe it’s possible again. I think your Dr. probably thinks he knows more than he understands about how we get the genders we do. He may be really good but they don’t teach that stuff in Med school, lol…honestly, I think we know much more than they do (thanks to this site and Atomic ), especially since we’re immersed in this every day. He means well but try not to let his words effect you. We’ll help you keep your dream alive here, Pink!!!

I’m of the “DTD like rabbits” camp myself …Check out my chart below... We’re using RepHresh & lots attempts. Ultimately, do what feels right for you!!!
