i know how you feel PFP im doing the exact same im not sure if i O or not, did you get a temp dip at all this cycle ?

Omg littlemiss, I don't know what to say. That is so strange.

I have a call into my ob, she is calling me back this morning.

I don't know what to think. I have totally fudged up the diet ever since I saw the brown blood Saturday afternoon thinking I am pregnant. I very well might be, but without concrete proof I am a little scared.
And now I am second guessing our sway. Did we dtd too many times? My dh only did fr for 6 days prior to out 1st attempt because o came way early....5 days early, 1st time ever. At least I used rephresh 8 hours prior to our 1st attempt and did J&D, but still. And now I feel what if I am not pregnant, and I had a few cheat meals. Can I still attempt next month if I get back on the diet wagon hard core.
I am going to strictly go back to the diet today until I get my confirmed bfp. I just don't know what to think right now. I don't even really know if I am 9 or 10dpo. I think 10, ff thinks 9 -- I hate all this.
Whatever happens, I better have a girl or I'll be beyond crushed.

Honestly, I am not surprised you are feeling like this..only because I have seen every single one of us including myself start to critize our sways in the 2 ww. The truth is you did everything you COULD do to sway girl and get pregnant. I "know" you well enough by reading all your posts you are hard core about this (as am I, lol)...you did a FAB sway do not rip it apart. Doing increased attempts just increases chances of a BFP not of a boy. I will be in a straight jacket if I conceive a boy so we'll be confined together- no worries

Oh and BTW my car smelt like burgers this morning. DH took my car to get them last night..really you have to be kidding!

[littlemissnaughty7]

what is with the left cramps could be girl and right cramps could be boy ?

[HopeandDreamG]

ok im freaking out a bit, im 7DPO today and my temp did a complete nose dive from 36.6'c to 36.3'c i dont even go that low when im about to O, so im a bit scared as my sway didnt go to plan (i dtd right on O and forgot to take citirizine !) i think i may have just conceived my 3rd boy !

Implantation dip perhaps? Temp can be so unreliable especially on clomid. My temp is all over the place, I think the clomid and last night took 2 tylenol because I was 99. This morning my temp was 97.5 usually my pre O temp and I def O'd with clomid and injection, so I wouldn't worry. DTD at O does not give you a boy. Recent study more girls conceived on O day, and the citrizine is no biggie especially being on clomid you shouldn't even be taking it!

That's just plain cruel. I banned all of my favourite foods from the house while I was on the diet. If DH ever came home with burgers, I would have made him eat them on the porch in the snow!

Well said. Every single one of us questions our sway after the fact - I know I did all 3 times I've swayed and gotten pregnant. There's no such thing as a perfect sway anyway - we just have to do the best we can and leave the rest up to fate. Oh, and I'll be joining you ladies in the loony bin if this little bean ends up being a boy too

Ramzi thoery. It states that if the placenta is on the left side of the uterus then its a girl and on the right is a boy. It is thought that if you ovulate on the left it is more likely to implant on the left hence a girl. Twinges on the left, implantation on the left -- more likely a girl.
Not sure how much we all believe it though.

[littlemissnaughty7]

why is it not very reliable ? have you heard conflicting stories ?

[atomic sagebrush]

Because you can't tell on the basis of O pain what side you Oed from!!!

Also, the thing with Ramzi is, there may be something there BUT the problem is that 99% of ultrasound techs know nothing about it, do not know what you mean when you ask 'what side the placenta is on' (like, my right, or your right? ) and also you have to have the u/s at a certain stage of pg, no later, or it is unreliable because the placenta moves. So all those things added together means that we get this grainy photo from a tech who has no clue what we're after and doesn't know what we're talking about and then it's just really hard to interpret how that matches up with Ramzi's theory.
