Twins! how exciting! Im feeling positive also but trying not to get my hopes too high! I have always been on the thin side and tried to watch what I eat, AKA not eat! Lol..with my first I was pretty young and partying and didnt eat well at all and with my second I had just gotten married so I was really trying to watch what I ate and had lost some weight. Never taken any vitamins before now either!

Yes I am temping and that is part of the reason I have been on the diet for so long. I wont be using OPKs so I wanted to have as much knowledge on my cycle as possible. Its amazing how much you can learn from watching your body's signs! I had no idea about EWCM, CP or ovulation before..probably another thing that led to my wonderful DD's!

Im exactly the same! No clue before I came on here! I think I will start monitoring my temps, do you use fertility friend?I have heard of that one.

[4Giffins]

Its a good idea! No I just use this sample chart I printed from Babycenter, I was amazed at how simple it was to figure out. I guess it wouldnt hurt to use FF as a comparison though..I just didnt want another step! Haha! Here is the chart I use: Blank BBT chart: Printable and free | BabyCenter

This is exactly how i felt in the early weeks of my pregnancy Never had MS before and it was especially bad when i would get hungry.

I don't know whether to hug you or tell you to stop it...hee hee.
I heard a funny theory today (but it appeals to my scientific mind).
I heard that you don't necessarily get sick with just girls or just boys but that your maternal lineage DNA has a major influence.
We know that mothers store the DNA of each child (this has been proven and I actually read an article recently on this that was unrelated to offspring. Actually it was about dementia but I won't get into that).
Anyway, the theory is that if your great grandmother had 3 girls, your grandmother had 2 girls and a boy, your mother had 2 girls and you had a girl and a boy, then your maternal DNA lineage would be predominantly female and you would not get as sick as say when you were carrying a boy. I'm not sure how or if there is any merit in passing this DNA on to your offspring but it sounds good...

[luvalittleman]

Sorry, 4G and mama3, all the very best luck to you both also.

Fertility friend is great, it really helps pinpoint O with you instead of having to guess yourself, but it does only really work if you enter temps. With the PH you get PH test strips and literally wipe some of your CM on it and see what colour it goes haha it sounds gross.

There are about 11 preggy blue swayers waiting to find out sex atm, i think Pearl is the next so im excited to see how they all go!
