TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[Flava]

Have to think of my current family first hey, rather than adding to it..

Exactly the same going on for us! Not much money and maybe i can go look for a job when DD4 is a little bigger and not having another baby...also must loose some weight for sure.
So we are not trying in Dec. and then as much as I would love to have a October baby (boy) I don't think we go back ttc in Jan.

Fab-im sorry for the bfn...hope thing are all ok next cycle so you can get a bfp for sure!

[love being a mummy]

re-thinking my attempt now.
Really should stop reading hahaha
I read somewhere that we need to release every 2 days then abstain 2-4days before O
But rainbowflower said that she hasn't heard anything about that and it would be ok to DTD every 2nd day starting from now.

I went through the boy sway forums and done some reading

For blue, it's much simpler. For maximizing sperm numbers, you want to BD every 2-4 days from AF-O. You can have DH release outside your body if you like, but some evidence indicates that actually DTD helps to increase sperm count and raise male testosterone.

Feel free to have sex with female O as much as possible during the early part of your cycle (days where your CM is dry). Then as soon as you see ANY CM whatsoever, even if it is sticky or creamy, DO NOT have intercourse on those days.

I'm concentrating on the HE from AF-O

but you know what my SIL and a friend of mine are both very skinny. No fat on them they never eat breakfast and don't eat much at all. My SIL had 2 boys, my friend has 1girl and 3boys.

There are just too many people with opposites from all the swaying "rules"
Maybe swaying does help but I feel it could only sway a little bit so instead of 50/50 you get a 51/49 chance but then again who knows maybe even after swaying you still have a 50/50 chance.
But I am still going to sway and hope for the best.

LBAM, I totally agree with this. I have a friend who is darn near anorexic and is also vegan, and she had a boy. And two of my ballerinas actually had boys this past year, and those chicks don't eat anything ever and have zero body fat as well. I think there are a lot of things at play in your body that determine, and I think there is a ton of luck. I totally subscribe to the dice theory, like you said, where with swaying, you up your odds to blue just a little bit. The reason I don't think this is all BS is that if you just give it a shot, you will feel good about what happens....and this also hinges big time on understanding that you won't necessarily get a boy for sure. That's why even though I can't really sway because we have infertility issues, I am still hoping that everything we do to increase our fertility helps a little. But heck, I'd be elated to have a girl though. I think you are doing well to concentrate on the diet AF-O.

Hi all, just letting you know I'm having some time away atm, not feeling too well (very depressed and stressed right now) xx

I am so sorry, 5. I really hope a break and maybe taking some time for the family and DH's school being through may help. Big virtual hugs. Hope to see you again soon! I'll catch up with you on FB.

Well ladies, I got my BFN this morning at 11 DPO and I'm out. I know my body and know that the witch is well on her way soon.

I don't know what causes me to have thyroid problems, but that's why I'm not getting pregnant. I hope I can get this under control ..I'm so down.

Any advice... what supp's I can take for my thyroid to help?

Oh MFC, I'm so bummed that you are having this problem. One of my best friends has an under active thyroid and she cannot lose weight ever, and it took her about 1.5 years to get pg the second time, but she did and just had her 2nd girl last week. She took the synthroid also, I believe. I don't know much about natural supps, but there has to be some. Maybe try to google that....there has got to be something. But maybe some synthroid or some real med will really help and quick. Didn't Iluv have an imbalanced thyroid? Maybe she can chime in....or pm her....she is awesome with natural stuff too.

Big prayers that it settles and works out for you soon!

Well ladies I highly doubt we will TTC next year.. IF I get a permanent position.. had an app at my girls school today to chat about fees and was given a few applications.. nothing too exciting but there is one I REALLY want. 18 hrs a week in kindie!
The others are just for 6-8 hrs a week but hey better than none and can also keep relief work at my current school too.

Have to think of my current family first hey, rather than adding to it..

TTC5, that is great that you may get some more hours with work! I think that is an excellent attitude...must take care of family you have first. I am in the same boat, that is why I am putting any high tech stuff way way on the backburner. We are going to try naturally for a long time, and if we ever have one, we have one. I think you are making a good decision, FWIW.

But this thread - http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...thod-of-timing

I agree with the first thread/quote. The second one is indeed Shettles timing. LBAM, it really boils down to what makes you feel the best in regards to your sway. Many of us do not believe in timing at all because there are really no studies that prove that it matters. All of this Shettles and timing crap is speculation. What is NOT speculation is that, like the first thread you quotes says, regular intercourse does increase sperm count. It is much better to dtd every other day that abstain for 4 days or so. And if you look at the timing done for boys on the boy moms thread and also on FF charts in the chart gallery, you will see that most of them dtd every day or every other day and most of them one was on O day. Most of my friends IRL with boys dtd every day once there opk was positive, for like 3-4 days. I say, if it makes you feel better to do some sort of timing, then go for it. But if it stresses you out, I would try for O-2 and O timing and just not worry about it too much. I swear, my doctor told me that the best pattern for max sperm is every other day.

Lbam- there are a lot of people who the swaying rules don't seem to apply to but, personally, I feel the more you live one sway the easier you'll get your dg. I was a textbook girl swayer so I think sending my body into boy zone was easier then those who are much more 50/50.

Ttc5- sorry Hun, take care of yourself and fx you get the job, it sounds great!

I had my baby shower this weekend. It was fun to have everyone there and all that blue, almost makes me believe lol Oh and my sil didn't come, my mil layed some crap on dh about how she couldn't come because of her mom. I told dh to tell his mom how much it hurt my feelings she wouldn't come support me because of her mom. It's so not true, but if you are going to try and guilt us I'll throw it right back at ya.

[Flava]

jen- a blue baby shower must be nice ! (or any lol) Your SIL just could not stand that you are having a boy and so she can't show up on a blue shower! She is so jealous for sure lol
Post some pics for us!
