TTC Girl - March 2012

[prayforprincess]

I looked at the chart, if I conceive this month it will be in a full moon. New moon is on the 22nd and I will surely o before that. Oh well, I really don't believe in moon phases anyway. If it sways at all I think it may be 0.5% if that of an effect.

Temp finally dropped this morning to 97.72. On cd3. Do you girls mind looking over my sway plan this month if you get a sec on "review my plan" section. Your thoughts and comments would be really helpful. I really wanna get pregnant this month but I also really wanna sway girl and I am going to be a bit loser on the diet so I feel I need to be a bit stricter on other things to balance. But no so strict that I do not conceive. Anyhow, your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the moon phases has some impact. My parents are a perfect example of the almost 80% ratio according to the researcher in the lunaception thread, where one researcher (who then I believe wrote a book about it) noticed that 80% of children concieved in full moon were boys, 80% concieved in new moon girls, etc. (Remember this is just one lady's research claims, OK?)

I used my siblings and I as guinea pigs to see how this worked. I used a retro due date calculator on the web and using our birthdays, they give you an approx date of conception. My mom said that none of us were late or early, we were all born right around the time the Doctor said we would.

So going by that this is what I got:

Sister 1-new moon
Sister 2-full moon
Brother 1-full moon
Me-new moon

So the moon was 75% right in this case; it had 3 out of 4 of us in the right phase.

There are definitely other factors at play here. My sister 2 was concieved in full moon, but my parents had a lot of habits that increased their chances of girls. My Dad was a heavy smoker during the years we were made; Mom ate breakfast late, around noon, she only had toast with a smidgen of butter and then didn't eat again until dinner time! Her and my dad were both very calm, chilled out people. I'm sure my Dad has low T; ive never heard him raise his voice, get in argument, he's always been very quiet and wanting to be left alone.

So I'm sure there were more reasons than just the moon for why my parents had 3 girls. Looking at my parents history, I think their concieving my brother was quite miracilous, and I truly think the full moon might have helped them with my brother, lol. They needed all the help they could get!

I'm not saying the moon is a deal breaker, I just truly believe it does sway some, but of course we don't know much it sways or even really "why" it would sway.

Just my 2 cents on the subject.

I just gotta chime in and point out that the "moon phases" as defined by Lunaception (which has to do with the actual hours of light coming from the moon and gradually changes as the moon waxes and wanes) and "moon phases" as defined by IG (which is supposedly "ions" that suddenly and drastically change the day after the new moon and the day after the full moon) are two entirely different things.

[atomic sagebrush]

Its starting the day before new moon is also new moon territory until the day before full moon as that would be full moon territory also.
But i conceived one son in new moon and the other in full moon so i dont beleive in it too much

That is what IG claims, but Lunaception suggests that it is the LIGHT of the moon that matters and not "ions" and so whenever the moon is very small and not giving off much light, and/or dark, that counts as new moon, whenever it is big and bright it counts as full moon.

So I have untill March 7 to conceive this girl? I am hoping to O earlier this month!!! Thanks for the info!!!!

PLEASE do not put one iota of thought, worry, or concern into moon phases, particularly as they are defined by Ingender.

So it looks like when I'll be ovulating the moon will be 1/2 to only 1/4 "Light". So, 50/50 or a little more in favor of a girl. I will take it.

Pinkin-- Did you use rephresh, sylk or replens with your attempt. I forget.

I guess I just have it burned into my brain to hope and pray for the new moon phase for my conceiving a girl. Old habits die hard and I appreciate you giving me all the details and both sides of the story. I do no think IG did that very well.
