Phew DM!

Thanks Z! My hubby is also relieved as he gets to do "frequent release" this month!!! (TMI) BJ's through AF and sex daily until after O.... with my 40 day cycles he thinks he's hit the jackpot! HAHAHAHAHA!
I'm thinking I'll O the first week of Sept if my cycle stays the same as the last 3 months. When do you think your O week will be, Z?

Purple, wow, I am sorry you are obviously feeling badly, but happy for you since those are excellent early preggo signs! Man, you may even have a pair in there!!

DM, PHEW indeed! I love all of your info about UC.....I don't know if I could do it, but I love reading about empowering births! Thanks for posting. LOL at your hubby's good fortune this month....mine would be over the moon and tempted to brag about it like he is in high school!

Ttcboy, I bet your headache and all are due to ovulating or just a rise in progesterone, but FX you continue to feel, erm, good symptoms!

Mocha, I am glad you are feeling up. I would say GO for it. I had the same do I wait or not conundrum, and Atomic thankfully urged me to just go for it. She is right....we ain't getting any younger, and the sooner the better. That being said, I think it would be GREAT to have my kids birthdays (well, 3 of the 4 of them!) so you could have a huge party for them all. They wouldn't care. My sister and I have our b-days 2 days apart, and we always had parties together and all, we loved it. I think we realized that we got a better party with one big one versus two little ones. More bang for the buck! I am sure you will have some good luck soon. FWIW, I conceived my daughters in October and July. I don't think there is TOO much to the time of year thing, personally.

So funny - if I'd known about swaying a year ago I probably could have persuaded DH to try for another armed with this information! So you're starting the regular BDing on cd1? Is that because you don't know when you'll O and you want to make sure you've done 'it' enough? I'm thinking we should be safe to start when AF is over on cd5. I *think* I'll O first week in September too as I'm pretty sure I'll O today

Zan, if I get pg and have a baby, I am going to have to pick your brain for your good weight loss strategy! Nice job! I have gained 35lbs swaying on the boy diet in the past year, and if I have a baby, I am sure I will have to lose a good 60lbs when it's all said and done.

And PP, 6dpo is SO early to test! Don't fret! I don't think I've ever seen anyone here or on FF get a + before 8dpo, which is very early in and of itself.

I certainly wouldn't recommend the girl diet as a healthy way to lose weight after giving birth Well done to you too, I know we're both doing the opposite to what comes naturally!

[Mochagirl]

While I agree with Zana that the girl diet isn't really a healthy weight loss solution, I must admit I'm intrigued by how quickly the pounds melted off me with no exercise on this diet. I've lost nearly 20lbs, and I wasn't overweight to begin with! I've never dieted in my life and quite frankly thought I didn't have the willpower to do it (I LOVE food), but I've really surprised myself sticking with this, and it makes me think that maybe I could eat a modified diet to lose weight after I'm done having babies. I would definitely add whole grains and more vitamins, though to make it more healthy. I also wouldn't keep protein quite so low so I could enjoy to occasional chicken breast.

So....what are the chances that these are wrong.....both came up within 5 minutes.....


Top one is FRER......took about 4-5mins to see. Bottom is clearblue...took about 3mins to see.




I feel so many things right now....most of all disbelief I don't know why though...I mean I do know that sperm can live for along time...3 days isn't that long. Audible sigh~

I'm not going to that conference...am I?

It's that powerful that I don't even know anyone who has had a boy...become friends with me and you are guaranteed to get a girl...it's a common joke!! Lets just say that I have a few friends with all girls that would like to not know me!!
