TTC girl- August 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Hey krazy- how r u doing??

[suregena]

:/ Have not temped... not using OPKs, have gained loads of weight, etceteraetcetera... I am showing fertile signs now. Part of me is too scared to try because everything is heavily boy... I am probably back to the weight I was when I conceived my son. My husband didn't want me back on the diet... but I'm now hesitating to try this month. I want to get out of the 120s again... this whole month after the last cycle has been a fail. Around ovulation last cycle I got down to 114... but I think my ovulation happened later than my chart said (I went on holiday and stopped temping... I think it happened then, ugh!)

Now I'm 122 or thereabouts.... just, ugh. I don't know what to do... there's practically zero sway factors and all likely quite boy friendly.

Took soy this month, taking antihistimine, folic acid.... eating with an odd breakfast day when I cave in... using soy milk mostly...

Husband said he'd FR....

We're both already vegetarian.

But, eh.... I'm just struggling and I think time is ticking so I need to make a decision. I SO want to get pregnant. I wanted to be pregnant MONTHS ago... but I still hesitate because I still want a shot at a girl, even if I'd be happy with a boy. It's not worth stressing over.... I've put all this in my head. If I had never heard about it, we'd have just tried for a baby without all this fuss... so partly, I feel annoyed with myself that I ever typed into google "how to conceive a girl"... but it's all in my head now.


So conflicted right now.

Suregena- hi. Been thinking of you. It's so hard to make the decision. You don't want to waste a month but you don't want to kick yourself later too. It's so true how it all gets in your head! It's hard to think differently after but we all know plenty of woman who think swaying means rocking back and forth and they have had girls!

Suregena- I say starve yourself through ovulation and dtd anyway. Why waste a month -- you could do everything right and still have a boy. Or you could do only 1 thing right and have a girl. So much is way out of our control anyway.
If you feel nervous then just dtd once with a bit of a cut off.

just checking in on everyone, havent been about much the last couple months, been pretty busy...
good luck to everyone,, and DONT STRESS!!!!
I know its hard not to stress.....but like pfp said, nothing is guaranteed anyway...
my baby girl was a fluke...lol..nothing but a 5 day cut off used.

i have seen sooooo many ladies getting their desired gender this year, and quite a few were woopsies or during a sway break.
and i know of 2 ladies who have done EVERYTHING girl swaying recommends and both got boys!
i think doing too much is just the same as doing nothing....

Sasha is 3 months old today!
where the hell did that time go?
shes growing way too fast, and is already starting to wear 6 months clothes.
the boys all love her to bits, and everything has just been super cruisy...

anyway pink sticky dust to everyone, and hopefully the change in seasons will help with some bfps...

Well, according to my FF chart, I should be testing today, but of course, I can't make myself do it...

Hi ladies. I'm back after being MIA for months. We didn't end up trying end of last year but will be trying after my cycle at the end of june. I will try the girl sway. Any of you ladies successful with the sway? Loved to hear all of your updates.

My update - I'm glad I went ahead and tried that cycle... as I got my BFP then a couple weeks later... and SHE'S due any day.
