Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

[deaks66]

Hello! Just posted on the Dec thread but seen the Jan thread now! Not sure if you ladies remember me but I started posting on your UK SMOG Wannabe thread on plumlily but when plumlily shut down I lost where you all were. I have noticed that since I last posted some of you are expecting girls and Inglewood your twins are girls OMG how amazing a thousand congratulations!!! I have 2 DS and hope to start swaying in April, any advice from anyone?!! I am willing to do anything for a girl for our third and final child. I am determined to do the diet, ions, started the supplements already and thinking of going for abstinence but not sure on cut off or o+12 (our boys were every other day bd through Ov) Hope you are all well and that 2012 brings us our pink dreams! x

Hi Jennibel, welcome, im so glad you found us! Sounds like you are really motivated for your sway which is a great start. I would recommend o+12 personally as i truly believe its easier to get pg that way than cut off. Mind you this is coming from someone who has been swaying nearly a year. But both my chemicals in that time were o+12 so it works (kind of) for me. Im sure other ladies on here will give you some great advice. Will you get dh to take liqourice root? Im a real believer in this. Lovely to have you on board!

Hi everyone, can't keep up with all the posts over the last few days. Just wanted to say a big congratulations to Sunset. Can't wait to see some piccies - it must be so wonderful finally holding your daughter in your arms.
I'm really feeling the anxiety of finding out the gender too. Everyone keeps asking me 'would you like a daughter?'. What do you say to that? It's the first question they all ask. Yes, of course I say but I would also love a boy. DH had a go at me yesterday for saying this. I told him how I was feeling but it's so hard wanting something so much, I just couldn't explain it to him and don't need him to make me feel guilty for my thoughts. Also, fed up that everyone is asking. It's like they're saying a boy is a consolation prize. I love my boys dearly and like Charlie says wouldn't be upset if I was having another boy, but would mourn the loss of not having a daughter in my life.
I spent xmas with my new baby niece, 6 weeks old. She is absolutely beautiful and I just wanted to hold and hold her. All the family felt the same. She's my parents first grand-daughter. I don't know if my mum picked up on this but she told me that as much as they love new grand-daughter, they wouldn't swap their 2 grand-sons for 2 grand-daughters. That meant a lot to me.
Right off to bed, DS1 first day back at pre-school tomorrow xxx

LMW good luck today will be thinking of you Hun.

Maybepink, that's a lovely thing for your mum to say. And it's so true!

9dpo today. Gonna poas in a minute. Had bleeding gums when brushing my teeth last night which is a first for me so got all excited but then remembered it could easily be the baby asperin hough I hadnt taken any for 48hrs as I had run out so I have been hoping that if anything it would have been getting out of my system. Also been having very vivid dreams...even dreamt I was pg last night but think I'm just working myself up for a fall! Does anyone know how I should wean off baby asperin or at least cut down if that is causing the bleeding?

How are you all this morning? Today is our last snoozy day as ds1 back at preschool tomorrow.

Maybe people ask me all the time but it doesnt upset me anymore. I am honest in my reply - it's bound to be a boy as I only know boys but a girl would make a change, I can't imagine myself with a girl. If you had two girls people would ask if you wanted a boy this time. It's not that you two boys, it's that you want more than two kids. People don't understand why people would want more than just the normal two. At least that's what I think.

I think my answer to 'so do you want a girl this time' will be 'Im sure Id love a girl just as much as a boy but dont mind either way, it works well right now having the same gender but Im sure a girl or a boy would slot in well. However, if it is a girl Ill be sending it to live with Grandma for the teenage years if its anything like me ha ha'! Although to the mil I would feel like saying 'actually Id rather have all boys as from what Ive seen the girls are favoured over boys and I dont want my boys to feel like that' as my MIL favours her daughter over my OH etc.

I did my fmu this am and it was 5.6/7 seems to be getting a bit higher than the first time, all fun though but can't be bothered to boil up a cabbage ha ha.

Good luck lmw today.

Deaks, fingers crossed for you, my gums bled in the last pregnancy, good sign, hope it isnt the asprin!
