Good luck for getting back on the swaying wagon Surgena, I bet it was nice to indulge in normal foods for a while! I'm so jealous!
Well I got a smiley face on my CB opk about an hour ago (6.30pm) so now I need to make a decision as to when to dtd. I used Rephresh this morning so that will still be in my system and I don't think I would need to do a top up as I don't want to kill all the sperm. In my head for some reason I think it would be better to dtd in the morning as blood sugar will be low for both of us, not stressful n we will be warm, although I still may make DP have a hot shower. However, if we dtd in the morning (approx 12hrs away) is that too big a cut off if we are only dtd once, or should I wait to dtd tomorrow night, approx 28hrs after pos opk? I REALLY want to get pg this cycle!!
Also, PFP has atomic given you any advice on your plan to dtd 2 times immediately after each other (if DP can do it)? I want to know if this is a good idea or will put me in boy territory with too much sperm. Please let me know your opinions girls, I need all the advice I can get! im getting excited that it's all happening soon! Eek
Love to you all, x

LALA if you really want to get pg this cycle then just dtd as many times as you can now you have a positive and even the day after it goes negative just to be sure you are covered I think ill be trying 2x today i got a pos opk,and tomorrow and the next day to make sure im covered

Hello, pink swayers!!! I have two boys, DS#1 is almost 7 and DS#2 is 5. Dreaming to have a little girl !!!! I am going to try this month (March) and today is my first day on Clomid (50mg), also LE diet, low sodium, low pottassium since January, SP suppl, B6 and FAcid. My ovulation is on March 26-28. I have a very nice swaying plan from gender dreaming, so hopefully we will get our girls at the end of this year. I practically do everything to sway pink ))

Pearl ,looks like your off to a great start

Hi ladies! Busy last two days and I had sooooo much to catch up on! In a way its been nice to be occupied, (not preoccupied with my sway)! but by time I got a few pages I forget what I want to say!!!

Amari~ Hi, my cycle buddy. I am doing well, I agree with everyone on being a couch potatoe. I think it will make you too hungry. I know it seems ridiculous not gaining weight bc you are so tiny, but it makes sense for the sway! Tonight is my last night of clomid. Totally relaxed this cycle. Doing diet hardcore as always! Been checking out your diary when I log my foods! Your doing great too

Prayforprincess~ I could have written your post too, its amazing to find women that feel so similar to each other. Amazing how others could careless about gender! Came to see how your attempts where going, sounds great!!!

Lala~ I agree about multiple attempts, it doesn't put you in a boy zone, we are lowering sperm count so much with everything else we are doing.

NKS~ thats not crazy, a few pages back we were joking about checking cervix's at work! Ha!!

Kraisy~ Don't know much about the number results but they sound kinda close, and I think its great that you O'd thats what matters. Where are you in the 2WW?

Suregena~ welcome back to swaying!!! LOL, its great you had a break and good you gained weight now you have some to lose. I never thought I'd be happy to have weight to lose unless I was stuck on a deserted island, now I have another reason to be glad!!

Pearl~ welcome.

Sweetsister~ HI!!!

Hello everyone else! Busy day again today then late working...

LOL reading my post back I don't think I forgot too much , sorry if I did leave someone out.

[prayforprincess]

Morning girls! Its nice to express myself to those who understand. All my friends just tell me to accept whatever happens and get over it. To appreciate what I have because so many people are not as lucky.
They don't get it...I do appreciate what I have and I wish it were as easy to just accept it, forget about it and move on. If I could be hypnotized to never desire a daughter again I would -- it would make my life so much easier. But I can't. My desire for a daughter has nothing to do with what I have -- it has everything to do with what I don't/won't have. And its hard to just forget about that when I am reminded of it so often seeing other mother's with their little daughters dressed in pretty dresses skipping around, or seeing a mother/daughter shopping together or having lunch. I feel like my boys will leave me someday, its just not the same relationship at all.

Anyway. We made another attempt last night using dh's 2nd batch. Now he is in NYC for the night so I won't see him again til tomorrow afternoon. I had a big temp drop this morning, but still no +opk. ??? I am hoping I get it this afternoon on this evening and that will mean I am o-ing early tomorrow. I usually get my +opk the same day as my temp drop. So I will have had a 1.5/2 & 2.5/3 day cut off. Not that I planned for a cutoff, I just know that you have a better chance of getting pregnant if you dtd before ovulation rather than waiting til ovualtion. I wanted to make sure the swimmers were there waiting since I think that most times I o within less than 24 hours from getting my +opk.

Prayforprincess~ the temp drop sounds great, O is coming..do not stress bc you will delay it. Friends don't get it, they do just say you need to be happy with whatever it is. Kills me. and your right its not about being unhappy with what you have, Everyone always says they would never trade their little boy for anything in the world, or imagine a life without him, its about what we DON'T have so TRUE..

We are going to get our girls! We just have to... Your Dh is often in NYC, I guess for work..just think of this one day I will meet you there with our DD in tow and have lunch at the doll store American Girl! Its a right of passage! Just picture that not OPK's

PrayForPrincess, thanks for your beautiful post!!! It brought tears to my eyes and I really do feel it's so true...that's why I still love coming to this site, because no one else in real life "gets" how I feel, but you ladies do, and I love having that support!

That is one of the hardest things I've had to struggle with...my feelings of how bad I want a daughter and how it makes me feel like I don't value my sons. I love my sons dearly, as I'm sure all of you do. Wanting a daughter does not mean that I think boys are undesirable. That is the conclusion my husband sometimes jumps to, as if this baby I'm carrying is another boy, he will be worthless. Of course he won't be! It's not about what I *already* have, it's about the element I don't have, an element I want to experience....

Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for sharing and I love all you ladies!
