Flava, I did use an IC the first 3 or 4 months I was ttc last year, but to no avail. Hmmm, maybe it is worth trying again? I may pick some up later. I kept worrying, though, that I was blocking the sperm and putting it in wrong. I think the trick is to get as upside down as you possibly can and then put it in, yea?

Tink- thanks hun, the party was so much fun! Perfect your paleo sway and stick to whole eggs and full fat dairy. You'll keep your weigh gain under control by watching how much nuts and fruits you intake. Dairy is a moderation thing so no need to avoid it just keep it to a couple times a week. Remeber high fat, high protein, high nutrient for your sway. DH has been paleo for nearly a year now and the rest of us (yes the kids too) converted 5/6 months back. I was paleo + potatoes when I conceived and I honestly think it's great lifestyle and a good route to a boy, guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

Wp- yeah dh's family really values the sons, it's all about the family name. The you need to have a boy thing started when dd1 was 30 days old, she's 9 1/2 now. It's gotten real damn old.

B- LOVE the early morning cuddles, dd3 slept with me last night so we could snuggle all night! I can't believe she's 4

Flava- are you taking fish oil, it did more for my cm then anything else! Ooh yes try hummus, so good! I could eat my weight in hummus and pita chips lol
Here's hoping you're right about the junk food= boy, I've been living off French fries, chicken nuggets and Totino's pizzas lol

Lola- don't lose hope hun, I know it's devastating to get month after month of bfn. I know your journey as been so long but you have to have faith that you will get there. And ita not preventing IS trying, if you know there's a chance you'll still obsess.

B3blue- we love Fancy Nancy! dd2 had a Fancy Nancy party when she turned 4, it was so frilly and fun!

Alexis- bsf will turn your cm watery without washing it all away.

Yesterday was dd3's actual birthday so we spent the day doing at the zoo. It's her favorite place in the world so into the 90+ degree heat we went. The older two were at school so she got the royal treatment, I bought her cotton candy, she rode the carrousel and the train. In our house you get whatever you want for your birthday dinner and my silly bunny wanted homemade soup lol Before she went to bed she told me it was the best birthday ever! I love making their birthdays extra special but man am I tired today. In fact I think it's time for a nap lol

Awww, HAPPY BDAY to your little one, 3PNB! Sounds like you had a fabulous night and day together. Love that stuff so much. Your girls....well, all of our kids, sound so sweet!

begonia- you right I did not used opk before the first + because the freaking monitor was low so I wan thinking why waste it.
Then it jumped to peak the next day.

I better start testing on cd 9 or so next month. Looks like I O early now...
but to when to dtd and twice no clue at all!

oh I just checked and I did started the damn monitor at cd8 this month!!! Only it was low all the way till first peak ahhh!

Lola- try the IC !!! I got 5 bfp with it so it's working! Plus you dtd every other day so if you are a little scared from it just use it on every other BD.

**Flava** · August 18th, 2011, 01:04 PM

3pink- I do take fish oil 2/day. Maybe I need more? The bottle says take 3 /day...I try next month.
You sure have a boy in there just remember what purple said!

For your little girl:

How Funny 3P That was the only thing I felt i was potentially Lacking is potatoes, So I was going to add them in here soon. I have lost 12 pound in the past month in a half. And then wasn't too sure about the dairy thing. So good to know. I still have some time before my sway. I just cant decide when to do our first attempt. I am so scared that if we go for it in Sept And I happened to get pregnant I will be really sick at my cousins wedding which would such because that is exactly what happened at my other friends wedding. I would like to avoid this since I am the maid of honor. My cousins wedding is really important to me, she is like my sister. So Dh and I keep saying we can wait till Oct. Since I will ovulate closer to her wedding date...then part of me is like fuck it..what if it takes me longer to get pregnant and I'm just wasting months...I just don't know. Whatever the case is I am so excited to just get to it...I want to be pregnant..boy or girl. I almost don't care at this point I just want to love on a baby...mmmm newborn smell is like crack!

3P, when do you get to find out if the bean is a boy or girl?? I am so excited for you!!!!!

**LolaInLove** · August 18th, 2011, 01:36 PM

Flava, ITA w Begonia, I don't think timing matters (for anyone) and it doesn't seem to have been a factor for you. If you want to make it easy, I swear, just dtd every 48 hours right over O....start on day 10. I promise, my doctor said it is the BEST for raising sperm count and easy for getting pg. I know you may hate that idea, but LOTS of the girls in a poll I saw had boys from either dtd every day or every other day. Just thought I'd throw that out there since it's a plan that makes it a lot easier and less stressful.

Ah, ok thanks! I do wonder if I may be dumping them because I ALWAYS have to pee after bding and try to hold it for 30 min while propped.

Girl, I say go for it in October....it's only one month, kwim? Might as well enjoy the wedding and feel extra prepared. And I am with you, I am almost not caring anymore if I have a boy or not, I just want a real live baby. Not to say I'm not doing a little swaying, of course. Awesome that you lost 12lbs though, good for you!!!
