If you don't like it don't eat it, is what I say!!

But i want to. That's why I ask how to cook with it. I only know to grill it that's it.

Yahmama - yeah the sleeping is brutal especially since I'm measuring at 42 weeks!

Flava, I don't usually cook with avocado... I don't think I have ever had it cooked that I can think of? It is usually in salads, in guacamole, in tacos, etc. It is also good on sandwiches! Try it on a turkey sandwich with bacon.... MMMMMMMMMMM!!

Thank you everyone for saying I could be carrying a boy... but I promise you, I am not. I am absolutely, positively SURE my sway failed. I will HAPPILY pay everyone on this site 10 bucks if my sway worked and I give birth to a baby boy!!

All I can do is offer my advice to everyone. Make sure you are set on your sway plan, and DON'T CHANGE IT just because it is taking you longer to conceive than you thought. I had perfect attempts for 2 months, and the one month I changed things up a bit, I O'ed early, and the entire sway got screwed. Now I get to regret it for the rest of my life. It SUCKS.

I'm trying to remember, what happened with the timing of your bd? Was it after O? I ended up with a weird attempt this month...had 3 low temps in a row and EWCM, so we dtd, and next morning had a temp rise, but then for some ODD reason, my temp dipped back down this morning and I still had a +opk and lots more EWCM, so we DTD again to be sure...I'm not holding much hope in my attempt either, and it seems strange things happen with everyone's cycles when trying to sway! Here's the link to my chart...My Ovulation Chart
I'm sure I'll be feeling just like you if I get a bfp this month

Flava I like avocado on Pizza...chicken, bacon and avocado yummmm

I think your timing will be perfect! THat is what I was going for--I was hoping for O-4, O-2 and O. But for some screwball reason, I O'ed the same day I got + opk (that had never happened before--I always O 24-36hrs after a +opk) on CD12 (I also never O on CD12, always CD13 or 14 or occasionally 15), so I ended up with O-3, O-1 and O+1. Horrible timing. I thought the high temp on CD13 was a fluke, so that's why we DTD that day. But then my temp stayed up. I know everyone says timing doesn't matter, but I can't stomach the fact that I didn't DTD on O day! We DTD around midnight on CD11, so I guess it could have been close to O, depending on what time I ovulated that next day... but who knows. The only thing I am happy about was that I O'ed right on the full moon, but I doubt that holds very much weight. I also O'ed on the cusp between moon signs... I would have O'ed in a boy moon sign if I hadn't O'ed early.

Exciting...when I O'ed...

Hey ladies,

LBAM, sorry that things didn't turn out the way you wanted. It's so hard when one of you is tired, feels like a chore sometimes doesn't it? Will you try next month?

Yahmama, FX for you! Looking at your chart, I think you O'd Friday. Is that right? I guess you have to see if your temps go up first.

Lola, it sounds like you have the right frame of mind. If you expect the worst you can't be too disappointed right? Well, in theory anyway. Still, I hope this month is the one!

babyblessing, thankyou That's great that the microscope is working for you. Are you temping as well? My pH is low too, around 5.5-6 but, I don't care anymore. I don't even really think it has any influence to be honest.

Flava, I take Elevit for my prenatal. I don't think it's available outside Australia though. I know what you mean about DH's face if they say this next baby is a girl, I don't want to see that look either. I will feel like a total failure, even though I know that the idea is absolutely absurd.

Hobber, you only 'think' it's a girl. How can you 'know'? You can't feel defeated based on a few predictions. You just don't know until the baby is born! Why do you think that timing is messed up? Was your CM still EW on your O+1 attempt?

POP, good luck! How's the 2ww treating you?

So, 7dpo for me today. Still having cramps every day. Hoping it's a good sign

Flava - you can mush up avacado into any pasta sauce, creamy ones work really well, but tomato ones are good too, then serve that over grilled chicken on rice, or any meat or pasta.
