I would prob. take it days 3-7 but I do think you should doublecheck with your doctor to be on the safe side, I'm not a doctor obvioulsy and they may have reasons/information that I don't know about.

If you have more eggs and ones that are less mature, are there any mature eggs? You need mature eggs right? It makes you O a couple days sooner or something and they don't have time to mature? I just want to get as much info to make a decision as my doc is not in the office on a Saturday, so this will be entirely on me to decide and ask for forgiveness later LOL!

Well, if your body gets confused and tries to make too many eggs, sometimes it doesn't get them to mature normally. Most peopel will still have SOME mature eggs but it's just like spreading too thin to try and make too many eggs.

I did not know you could get it at CVS. I thought you still had to order it LOL!!! I may get some too LOL!!! but are you not afraid it could sway boy?

[sweetsister]

Even though it is supposed to sway boys? Maybe I should get some. I used it years ago and never fell pregnant, but maybe now I should consider it?

I used it this time,but only 1/4 of the recommended amount,and i also used robitussin half the recommended amount but only a few times,so i guess well soon find out if it worked

[amari]

I thought you had to order it too! I looked online and it said u could get it at cvs and I went and checked and was surprised to find it!

I am a little nervous about it, but if u stay this dry I will never get pg! I am ready! I want to enjoy the summer, grill out, eat ice cream etc. I feel like I've lost weight/muscle tone, I don't eat much protein or snack so I've got hat going for me. They have the percentages of. Boy vs. girl births on their website you can checkout, I haven't looked in awhile but if I remember correctly it is same as irl.

dramabird & PFP~ we have been on this diet for so long I think even when we are within limits we are considering it a cheat! Last night I had 2 glasses of wine after dinner and a bit of a snack all in limits and felt guilty, ridiculous. I have not eaten over 1200 cals in 12 weeks. Holy Sh-t.

amari~ I can do this diet forever because its the only thing you can FULLY control with swaying HOWEVER, I do NOT think I can do this all summer. We LIVE at the beach at a cabana and grill EVERY day. Don't know what I will do. I best have a BFP by Memorial Day weekend!!

I looked on the Preseed website. They do surveys of the pregnancy outcomes. The most recent results (2010) are:

40% of babies were a boy
38% of babies were a girl
20% of first pregnancies were lost (consistent with the 25-38% of all first trimester pregnancies lost in the general population)


The survey before that (2005) showed:
17% a boy
19% a girl
35% reported no gender
29% had a lost pregnancy (miscarriage), including early “chemical” losses. The miscarriage rate is very consistent with pregnancy losses reported in other studies

Thanks dramabird. This is getting hard. If I get a bfn I will be going into my 3rd cycle.
You have not been that bad in this 2ww. I have been skipping breakfast and not eating til 12pm; but I have not only been eating one more meal. I have not been tracking my food at all. And I have been eating meat here and there, avocados and cottage cheese. I mean really bad foods.
I have no choice but to bite the bullet and be soooooooo incredibly strict on the diet from af-o next month if I have to.
I think I would dtd once at +opk, but not have dh lower his sperm count too much. Maybe just a 7 day abstain and then dtd one time on +opk night, rephresh at least 2-3 days prior(I would take my last application cd13), no sylk or replens and definitely no j&d. I would lay there with by legs and bum in the air for 40 minutes to get every little swimmer in there.
But God please - please don't make me go another month...please give me my bfp!
I think I will wait til at least Wedn. now to test. I cannot look at another bfn. I just can't.

Hey PFP - i'm kinda similar to you...i'm in my second cycle like you - and i'm also really struggling with the diet. Im not counting my intake because it was FAR to stressful, im pretty confidant i'm within the limits - but am just not certain, I dislike all the weightless and how i look so skinny (i was already bordering on too skinny to begin with!) And the constant hunger (though i am getting more and more used to it) is such a 'downer'

Im super super strict with the no breakfast and no snacking - but its so so difficult...

I really hope i get a BFP, because the thought of another month makes me groan
DH is also quiet keen for me to fall pregnant, and if i dont fall in this cycle i think he will be pushing to throw the sway out the window...so he will insist we cut out the rephresh, the liquorice root, the FR, and the hot baths (we've already thrown out timing) which means the only weapon i will have it the Diet - which of course means i will need to be 100000% strict on it..(and the supps, but of course there effectiveness is debatable)

Anyways, just wanted you to know you are not alone with the way you feel -so lots of hugs! And here's hoping we all see BFP's !!!

(oh and 8DPO IS super early, dont let that dishearten you, and if it does then please try and hold of testing till you are about 13-14dpo, dont give yourself ammo to disappoint yourself with - but yes i know, easier said then done)
