Went shopping today for new outfit for my new job and omg I have gone from a size 8-10 max au sizing to now a 14 =(
I feel disgusting, I look awful and yeah just feel crap!!

DUDEEEEEEE, that is how I feel. I totally kwym. Just keep repeating the mantra "I am doing this for my future son. I am doing this for my future son. I am doing this for my future son......"

I watched a fantastic programme on BBC about conception, it was so interesting to find out that over 220 milion sperm are ejaculated & only about 20 survive the journey, we also have about 20% chance of falling preg each time so if you really think about this it shows that it isnt that easy to get preg

Also crazy to think that 50% fall to m/c also....amazing that the human race has even made it at that rate!!!!

3PNB, I've totally reverted back to my girl diet....which is coffee first thing in the am and then no food till 10am, then lunch at 2pm, then dinner. Which isn't terrible, but my blood sugar does suffer in the early part of the day. I have laid off the potatoes also, and I think I've gone down a few inches in the midsection for sure in the last couple of weeks. My fat pants which were snug at my heaviest are now loose. But, I think I am going to start the diet again in the next couple of weeks. And the supps, I've been just taking a prenatal. And Begonia, I have a multiantioxidant, CoQ10, and then the usual boy supps. I will post a more comprehensive list once I get that huge sack of pills out of the closet and start putting them in the many pill dispensers we use daily when swaying. UGHHHHHHH

I am not taking the DHEA though....I don't know why it's making your periods lighter, that is interesting. Do you gals think your T is rising with it?

Iluv, sorry about AF.....don't freak, we all just get back in the saddle and go for it again. It's up to you if you want to take a couple of months off and gear up again or just go for it next cycle, with as much swaying in the 2 weeks AF-O as you can do. Sounds to me like you are impatient (LIKE ME!) about ttc.....well, we all are getting that way.....so just go for it if you want that bfp badly enough. The only time I took a month off was when I had the first m/c. I think the best thing to do is just cut out your supps during the 2ww and keep up the diet, but everyone worries that they don't get the "optimum" sway if they haven't been taking the supps and doing diet hardcore for 6 weeks.

So, yes, let me comment on the fatness one more time.....I am going to the beach tomorrow, and am still deciding whether to wear a MUUMUU all day and not even put on a bathing suit like an old lady, or just to make us pick a spot that is so far down the beach that we are the only people. I will tell you guys, the boy diet for 8 months has wrecked my figure, and the fact that the summer is here and I now need to wear skimpier clothing is making me even more irritated.

ZB- what a wear thing to say, that you wanted a third girl.....I would just not say anything to anyone at all, whether I wanted a boy or girl! That is the s$%t that kills me.....maybe I could just go on living my life without freaking about timing, supps, being a fatass, etc, and STILL MAKE A BOY!!!! I am just not that brave!

And we do need to have another bfp here soon, this is getting depressing. I am not going to ttc much longer than a few months after we start back, I'm getting too sick of it also. If we don't get a bfp by October, I am just stopping all of this and going to "living my life" plan again and if we accidentally get pg, and if it's a girl, well then I'll be just elated that I got pregnant at all.

About Maca? IMHO it might be a good idea for mean only and for us Wheat Grass juice or Green Magma.http://genderdreaming.com/forum/newr...wreply&p=32798

I often think about quitting the whole idea about 3rd child. But it's better to regret something you've done then something you haven't, right?
Why do you want to stop trying:
- you are functioning great like family of 6 and don't need any more?
- not enough space & money?
- DH is not full on board?
- you are afraid you will get another girl?
- all this combined?

Well all this are my reasons, esp the 1st one, we are doing great like family of 4 ( just our family make up sucks ) and my greatest fear is that I will ruin our harmony with another baby. That is what astrologist told me when I visited her before DD 2 was born: if you want a 3rd, it will be boy for sure, but very difficult child and he will ruin your life

I just laughed and said: oh, no each child is a blessing but a bug remained in my mind How ultimately stupid is that and what she knows in the 1st place.....

And of course, we don't have enough money, nor space, nor time....DH said to me few times he feels we are done and we are complete as a family. He never wanted 3 kids

At this point, I *think* I will be OK w/another girl, I have few names I really like for her ( boy name was decided before DD1 was born )

I'll keep trying until I hit 40, and then I'll stop. It's a year and a half away, hopefully I'll get pg before that, but with all that swaying, I'm thinking: maybe my body is just not designed to conceive a boy

now i am wishing i would be 40 next year so that i would have solid reason for not TTC

I completely understand your divided feelings about TTC....but being near 40 is nothing to envy about booo-hooo

I certainly do hope so

I take 50 mg bcos I'm 38 and I want to make sure I'm Oing each and every cycle. IVF candidates are taking 75 mg a day.
I could only find 50 mg tablets, so I cut them in half. I also checked few sites about DHEA, and I can't remember details now ( of course), but I remember 50 mg is OK.

Yes, it takes 3 cycles to make it work, but I guess, like everything else, it's individual?

Oh ok I get it now so need to take it 3 cycles. I will be 37 this year so I guess i better take the 50 if I take it.

Yep, they recommend for 90 days as that is how long it takes an egg to mature in the follicle, thus, for the DHEA to affect the egg's quality.

Over a year! I don't know that I could hard core for a year. It sounds like Diet and Supps are the most important aspects of sway. Timing seems to be heavily debated. I know Atomic has a sticky on that somewhere.

Sorry! I'm with you but not a year, so sorry.

Iluvmyman....thanks for the response, this sucks and I really hope we all get BFPs soon. I haven't been swaying for a year. I did have an early m/c and then stopped for a few months and then swayed a little for a month when we conceived our son who we lost at 14 weeks, so I stopped swaying the whole time I was pregnant and didn't think I would sway again so I TTC without swaying for a few months. I am swaying now but really only doing diet and some supps {folic acid is really the only one}...my OB advised against other supps and I trust her so we are sticking to natural. I am hoping it all works out!

[princessap]

This is, in my opinion, optimum boy timing.

Thanks for this...I am going to try this this next attempt and then if I am not pregnant I am going to let whatever happens, happens. I got pregnant with my DDs so easily and find this soooo stressful...it is all consuming and I don't want it to be this way for much longer.

Someone posted {sorry too many pages back} that I should do opposite of my DDs....well my DD1 was a one time hit on OV day and my youngest was frequent BD thru OV and the boy we lost was 4 day abstinence and then DTD two days in a row, ) and )+1, so timing wise they are all different and not "according to theory of what works for each gender"....man this was easier when TTC was fun!
