ILudGirl, my hubby thought this was boy 3 the whole time except at the U/S when the tech was measuring the femur and he saw nothing between the legs he got very white and whispered to me "it's a girl"...he knew we swayed girl, but actually getting a girl he thought wasn't going to happen!! To be honest, I think you sitll have a great chance at a girl, and the only reason my DH agreed to try for a 3rd was he thought we could make "nothing but boys" lol. I am excited to hear more news as the pregnancy progresses! I think it's just aweosme that you are pregnant with numbers that would make it very hard. This little bean, whoever they are, really wanted you to be their Momma!

And Krazy, I'm not sure about girls always being more petite. They are thinking this one is going to be 9 lbs. So much for a shrinking violet!

Hi Ladies,

I've been lurking on the boards for a while now, but haven't posted. We weren't going to try for a couple of months, but I've been having some issues with my cycle (lack of ovulation being the most concerning since we want to get pregnant), and after doing some cycle monitoring this month I can pretty much pin point when I will ovulate, so it's too good to miss

So, we'll be BDing over the next three days (O tomorrow). My main concern is that I only just started the LE diet (10 days). The only other thing I am up for is the antihistamine... will that be enough? What do you guys think?

[prayforprincess]

I think stay strong on the diet through o. That might be enough, you never know. It is not proven that you must be on the diet for 6 weeks -- that is just something someone made up as a base time line.
I think you should take the zyrtec and use rephresh -- especially since you are doing multiple attempts. Have you lowered your dh's sperm count at all?
If not then it is best to atleast have him release in the am and then attempt in the pm. If you want to really put an effort in, then have him release in the am and afternoon and then dtd in the pm.

Thanks for the tips prayforprincess!

I forgot to mention I am doing rephresh (once every 3 days). My PH from what I can tell (and I am not very good at testing this) is always pretty low - under 5. I took Benadryl last night, and will do so again.

DH hasn't done anything to lower sperm count, but that's a good thought. I'll have to see if he'll go for it though - he's not really into the whole swaying thing, so it's up to me.

My main concern is that with the wacky cycle I might have trouble getting pregnant. So while we're just starting to ttc, I also don't want to go for months on end. Last time we went 12 months trying before I got pregnant and then miscarried. Thankfully I got pregnant again quickly after that and with some help, got a beautiful baby boy out of it But now my cycle is waaaay worse than before.

Anyway... I guess I shouldn't be negative before I even give it a chance! It's nice to know that there's a community here that examines every little detail just like me LOL, it makes me feel less alone.

Night one (CD3) of soy last night. I slept so good, but have no idea if there is any correlation. So far, so good.

[prayforprincess]

Onegirl -- if your cycles are wacky then you should just dtd every night. Studies show that dtd every night sways girl a tiny bit -- like 54% girls to 46% boys. Its pretty even though and it does kinds guarantee you getting pg quicker if there is a healthy egg. If you are doing other sway tactics, then that will help you sway further in the girl direction. It will also help your dh to lower his sperm count by dtd daily (without him really knowing he's doing it). Using the rephresh will help to keep your ph low.
It certainly will not put in you in boy territory. Have you tried using opk's to know when you are o'ing?

So excited! I got a Smiley on my digital ovulation test this AM! We will be doing our attempts today/tonight! YAY!!
