Sweetdream this will be our last baby too.

This would b my last baby too. Oncue how many kids u have?

[oncue]

I have 2 daughters. We thought we would stop at 2, but we think our family would be complete at 3.

[sisterplease]

Kitkat...I do have 1 daughter, you were right! She is number 5, so I've had another son since. I also have 5 brothers and remember feeling so desperate for a sister, so that is my motivation for all this swaying. Of course, she may not be as desperate as me!! But she has started playing with 'pretend' sisters so I'm thinking she might ask eventually (she's 3). She is just SO outnumbered and is left out of a lot of stuff. I really want her to know I at least TRIED to give her a sister. Of course, she could end up even more outnumbered but at least I gave it a shot and we will be looking into adoption at that point. That is in our plans anyway as we love having a big family but I know my fertility won't last forever!!
In answer to your question, my daughter was extremely prevented. She was the only child I really CRIED over getting a positive because we weren't ready to have another baby. My health wasn't good and I just didn't want to risk it. So she is a condom baby!! But if I look back at my lifestyle, the things that were going for me was that I was dieting on Slim Fast to get rid of previous baby weight, and I wasn't at my healthiest. In fact, I got swine flu the month she was conceived and prayed for death I was that ill!! I really, still, to this day do not know how she was conceived. We were incredibly careful and I went over calendar dates for Ages to try and figure out HOW I was pregnant!!
The difference with all the boys was that they were all when we were having frequent bd and so none of them were a surprise. My daughter was definitely a ONE and only attempt plus with a condom.

Aw, sorry Lilly :-(
It's so disappointing isn't it??? Hope next month is your month.

Wow Sisterplease, sounds like your daughter was just meant to be here. I grew up with all brothers and really wanted a sister so that's nice that you're trying so hard to give her an ally.

This will also be my last attempt but I know dh will want to try again if it's a girl. I know that I'm not trying my best with this diet. I don't eat enough calories, although I'm eating way more than I did with my 2dds. I have been lifting weights more and taking more vitamins. This is my fifth attempt since bcp, and like most of you, I thought it would happen the first or second try! I am 8dpo today and still feeling like af is definitely going to show.

And Lilly, I also hope that you will soon get your bfp! I know how frustrating it can be.

Hopefully next week I will log on and see some good news from you ladies!

Sorry Lilly - lets hope for next month xx
Kitkat, I too feel quite weak at the moment...I'm sure I'm deficient in sme stuff - prob iron which I usually get from red meat. I will review my diet and do a lighter version of LE as I have lost weight I didn't really need to loose anyway and find it hard to maintain ...
I'm not sure if I should do FRER or just wait for After AF time...too scared to b disappointed...
This all also be our last baby (#4) and can't wat for a pink baby :-)

[MIka1104]

How many dpo are you, laVieEnRose?

[lovinmyboys]

Hi ladies!
Got AF today Two days early!!! At least it saves me from my 2-3x a day POAS habit!

Will continue my LE PCOS as best I can, though we will be on vacation for a week so it's tough. Will continue supplements and OPK as well. I'm supposed to ovulate during the trip.

I'm really impatient about the whole thing and my desire at this moment to have a third is overriding my desire for a girl. Will have to think long and hard about the whole thing. DH is of the opinion that we should "just do it a lot" lol. Right now I'm sort of on the same wavelength.

Good luck to everyone in their 2ww and really hope to hear some good news from all of you!!!

[MIka1104]

Sorry to hear that! I can truly empathize with you because now my desire to just get pregnant overrides my desire for a boy! After 4 BFNs I am getting so frustrated and I'm gaining weight on this diet. I don't want to gain weight before the baby but I'm thinking I got my girls from being smaller and eating small...I don't know. I really hope you have good news next month, lovinmyboys. I'll take your blue and give you my pink dust!!
