TTC a BOY February Chit Chat Thread!

[KikiCal]

I only drank gelatin once a day. I mixed it with ACV and pineapple juice and chugged it. Don't let it sit too long, because it gets thick an nasty!

I'm glad to hear it's still effective once a day. DH doesn't know about swaying and I felt weird hiding all the gelatin from him, haha. I'm close to breaking down and telling him.

Yah, that stuff is GROSS, I couldn't stomach it.

OMg I know exactly how you feel! I feel so bad I have to hide the gelatin too, I'm so tempted to tell him but just don't know how to. although he has realised I'm eating " alot" according to him..

Yep the gelatin stuff urgh is by far the worst part of my sway.. I try a spoon and mix it all up and just chug the whole thing down, the big un dissolved pieces you get whilst drinking it make me shiver!!! I mix it in v-8!

Can I join in? I am ttc hopefully a boy after having 3 daughters. I have poor fertility (2 ectopic pregnancies and 1 m/c) so now only have 1 dodgy tube left. It did work last time and DD3 is a result of that. I know I am in for the long haul as it took 2years to conceive her and we have not been preventing for a year now with no luck yet. I didn't realise how much swaying can be done so am going to try some different things. Although my cycle has been back for 16months I have only recently weaned my last bub so I am hoping this helps me get pregnant too.

Welcome and good luck Ollynem!! Fingers crossed for a quick BFP for you this time.

GL ollynem!

Good luck for a speedy BFP Ollynem.

Well done to you girls doing the gelatin, ACV & even the V8 drinks that was a step further then I was willing to go to get my son. I think I could have stomached a big steak after being veggie for 22 years rather than drink any of them ( and my body does strange things when I eat red meat -mild allergy is reason for being Veggie). I still got my boy

If I don't get pregnant this cycle, I think I'm going to tell him. I'm surprised he hasn't really questioned me yet. Suddenly I'm lifting weights, drinking protein shakes, and eating much more! Plus, even though I am working out so much, I don't feel like I look like I'm in better shape. The things women do, haha!

[pooh_ob]

I agree.I'm doing he diet as best I can, plenty of red meat, sodium and loads of potassium, v8, juice, less caffeine and aspartame and alcohol (notice I say less lol), supplements inc fertile cm, but for some reason can't bring myself to do the drinks lol. Fell off the wagon a little with diet and dropped exercise Esp weights but I'm cycle day 2 and about to go work out now (yoga) and I will lift at nights with hubby. He knows I sway and does what I tell him to do so he can get his boy as well. :-) I haven't told him he gets to dtd every 2-3 days this month plus the 3 attempts after +opk. He won't know how to act lol! It's time to get serious! Good luck everyone!

[Ollynem]

Thanks for the welcomes. I am only knew to swaying just learning more about it now. My DH struggles to DTD more then every 48hours unless he hasn't had it for a while. I don't know what to do about that in regards to frequency. We know he has a low count but I have been pregnant to him 5times so its not to the point where I fail to get pregnant. Our biggest fertility battle is the fact I only have one tube left which is damaged but I can't help but think DH is always going to favour girls with a low count. The only way DH could do it 3 times in 24hours is if he has not had it for over a week so I don't know how to go about that. Any advice? I was thinking abstain for a week and when I get a + OPT DTD 3times over 1-2days. Plus the diet of course.
