TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[Cinss]

TTC5 you definatley have at LEAST 50% chance for your son... And because you have been swaying previously, you could hope that the odds are still in your favor. Surely you can still eat bannanas and potatos with plenty of salt? Another cheap sway tool is insence sticks for the +ve ions, they only cost a couple of dollars. Dont stress about stopping your sway, just imagine how happy you will be if you get a BFP next month!!!

I sent DH an sms lol to let him know I am ovulating first week December... see what he says again..

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.

I don't really care too much about timing but DH has low testosterone levels so I thought that = low sperm. I don't want to do anything that will lower his levels anymore.

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.

Great idea lol

LBAM when is your attempt?!? FX for you!!!

Due to O on Nov 30th, just deciding if I should DTD every 2nd day from now or wait a bit closer to O

Oh ladies, I don't know what to do!! So I am due to ovulate in less than 2 weeks. Been off the diet and drinks and supps pretty much just the odd Vit D and fish oil here and there.

I'm sick of swaying! It makes me depressed. Do you think I have a good enough chance at a boy if we tried again after giving up on swaying? I still think it is 50/50 LOL...

As for finances well trying to tell DH babies really don't need that much....

I would LOVE a boy, but I would gladly accept another daughter too. She would actually fit in better than a boy anyway really....

Go for it hun, get back on the supps and heavy into the diet. Maybe do more attempts this cycle. BFP vibes for you.

Maybe all the swaying has hindered you somehow? Maybe coming off of the supps and just eating when you're hungry could help you out, TTC5? If you feel good getting either gender...and you're sick of swaying...I say drop it all, have a fabulous time in the bedroom, forget timing, and just go for it!!! Take the money you were going to spend on supps and put it towards a naughty nurse uniform for the bedroom.....
(which is what I was wearing when I conceived my first DS...~blush~ )

I'd just like to apologise in advance for all my posts over the next few days lol I am going crazy.
I am getting paranoid.
I really thought I was Oing around 1am today but it's only CD11 I never O this early. I was having the O twinges one side. BUT I really hope I didn't O. I am telling myself I haven't got all my signs yet.
No CM though still dry down there. Today I am getting nausea that usually starts a few days before O.
I usually get really tender in the uterus area and have cramps/pains.
BUT I've been taking EPO and that really helped with my pre AF cramps so I am thinking maybe it will help with the O pains and I won't get my symptoms.

Should I stop EPO so I make sure that I can feel O pains.
Would EPO shorten my cycle?

So if I did O it would mean we DTD then I o'd 27hrs later.

B- here's my theory behind Natalie Portman, she had just come off Black Swan so months and months of excessive dieting and training. She was probably eating like a horse and doing minimal exercise so even though her normal may have swayed girl the changes swung her the other way.

B & Flava - yup I agree, totally jealous. Our son is going to take some of the attention from hers and she hates that.

Since a few of you asked here's some pics of the decorations, the cute cupcake cake my mom made and me. I cannot believe how round my face and well everything has become.
