Such a roller coaster

[My Three Sons]

Aw, you just brought tears to my eyes, and I can't blame hormones for that as I don't have my BFP yet. It will all work out, you'll see. My mom reminds me all the time of the lady in her town who had three sons, never a girl. Now all those three boys just have girls and they are dying for a grandson! LOL.

You know, sometimes I see the girls that act so horrid to their mothers during their teen years and think to myself how so many boys adore their moms their whole life. Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Regardless, I am hoping for a BFP here hopefully next week and we can be on this GD roller coaster supporting each other!

That would be lovely - so nice to have people going through the same thing to share it with especially as there are a few of us with 3 boys.

Will keep an eye out for you in the 2ww - have you swayed?

[My Three Sons]

I have been such a lazy swayer. Honestly, last month DH gave the green light to try unexpectedly so I jumped at the chance before ever seeing this board. It was too late for last month, so it was a bfn. So this month I did some sway.

I am horrible at dieting and quite honestly, have no idea what people really eat when on this diet! I work outside the home so had no clue what to bring for lunch. Lucky for me, DH does the cooking so I eat what he cooks, but totally not diet friendly. It's not fattening food, just not girl diet food. Since I didn't really know how to do the LE diet right, I just reduced my overall calories, but have totally bombed on that during the 2ww. I didn't eat breakfast, drank tons of crystal light, lost about 3 pounds this month, so I am thinking that's good, even without the diet.

I used Rephresh and had a PH of 4.5 - 5. I used it on the Friday after AF (CD 6), then again on CD 9, dtd on cd 8, 9 and 11 and Od on cd 12. We also did j&d... If I didn't get preggo this month I think the rephresh or the j&d may be too much. I am 39 so I feel old and don't want to waste the eggs I have left trying to time this thing...

What about you?

i've always struggled with diets, i started this one in july and was really good first few months but this last one for me wasn't one of my best (too many biscuits - i'm not very good at just one). I pretty much existed on dairylea sandwiches and pasta!

Main ideas of le diet and are low calories, low protein, low salt - pretty much low everything hence the name but i think those 3 are most important so no hard and fast rules over what you can eat you just have to stay within the limits.

Sounds like you've done a good job on the le front anyway and to be honest i think the lack of stress is a key factor to the sway working so its best you weren't too freaked out about diet otherwise that undoes all the good anyway.

Your attempt sounds really good, i hope you have a sticky bean in there.

I have posted my sway if you want a look but i took clomid this month, 2 months of bfn on vitex and sp and really wanted to try it as it swayed pink. We still did Fr and LR but we had lots of attempts and no j&d as i wasn't getting pregnant - i do like the rephresh though and used that but only once this month at cd13, i o'd cd15/16, we also used sylk to dtd. how many dpo are you?

[My Three Sons]

I am 7 DPO now. This is so hard to wait to test. I am way impatient! I think I keep thinking DH will change his mind. LOL Thanks for the encouragement!

Just wanted to drop by and say hi. I'm another mum of three boys and am TTC pink.

Yes I agree, I think pregnancy and hormones make it all harder. And also other people's comments and expectations. People can say some STUPID things to other women!

It can be very hurtful at times.

My sister has 6 daughters and I have 3 sons. I am SO over being told she has the girls and you have the boys. Don't pigeonhole me, or her. Or our babies. Everyone is individual and perfect.

I think we will wait until our baby is born this time around so that we don't have to deal with GD and other people's comments.

[My Three Sons]

That's what my mom said about finding out beforehand. Of course, when she had us, they didn't have the us scans that could determine the sex. And of course, once they are here you fall so completely and utterly in love with them you don 't care about the sex. Me, though, I am too impatient and couldn't wait to find out!

Good luck on your TTCG Violet! I hope we all get our girls, wouldn't that be something!

I am so glad to find out I am not alone in all of this. Everything you ladies have posted are things I have said to myself too. I so desperately want a girl but I cannot even imagine my life with one now at this point. It is like an unreachable dream. This is my absolute last time having a baby. I have never tried to sway before. With DS3 I was reading up on swaying and getting my plan sorted out and oops, I got pregnant before I could even attempt a sway, so I knew from the start he would be a boy and I was right. My mom had 4 girls and then my little bro and all she did to sway for him was a baking soda douche. My sister has 4 DD and my other sister has 2 DD so I wonder how it is that I can only get boys (Whom I LOVE SO MUCH)! Here is to hoping we all get GIRLS this time around!!
