TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

Cramping can be so very scary, and most the time it's just your uterus stretching!
Sounds like what yours was. I'm glad all was well and you got to see your baby!

They drew blood to see if my white blood cells were elevated because I was having extreme pain where my appendix was, but they said it looks ok and the pain has finally went away

Oh a little man would be great, I think I'm a girl making machine though, the heart rate was 180 isn't that girl territory

Those things always worry me too hon, but I don't think heart rate is a definite. You are so lucky...I wish I had a raspberry in my belly too.

In early pregnancy the heart rate don't matter (if you looking at the OWT) because the parasympathetic nervous system is immature and not yet developed in order to slow the heart rate down.
So don't worry!

i hope everyone get a bfp finally!

Thanks Flava!

Where is everyone? It's so quiet in here...

Hey ladies! I'm sitting in the waiting room of outpatient surgery, DH is having a knee repair as we speak. He's doing fine though, I already got an update. He had a chunk of cartilage the size of a finger missing. Joys of being a dancer! Anyway, my cramping has stopped, and the spotting has for the most part, too. I really think it has to do with not having carbs. I have been eating normally (although still pretty low cal) and I feel totally normal. Doubt I'm pg, but just want to not have anything wrong with ME now, for pete's sake.

Dloui, I am so glad you have a live raspberry in there! Don't think about heart rate, I agree with Flava and all, it doesn't indicate. I really don't think there are any gender indicators at all since I've heard the gamut with both sexes. Hope you are feeling alright, and also that you don't have any more scares!!! I bet it was some stretching, I get wicked random pains when pg.

Isn't it funny how we are all just ready to get pg now and not swaying anymore? It really starts to freak you out when it is taking a while and you begin to think it's the swaying messing with your cycle and causing problems. Generally, I doubt it is the swaying, and more often I think it's the stress of swaying and actively ttc. But who knows, right? I think we should all keep this in mind though: we have just as good of a chance of having a boy as any other lady in the world who is not doing anything. I think even making attitude adjustments, like being in control, etc, that raise testosterone sway way more than we think. It helps to eat well, but I do think that gaining is not good for the fertility after a while. But don't let go of the dream....it is way more important to do what is right for you in regards to being healthy and happy and then you will find your little one is peacefully on the way.
