SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group-Sept.2009

I do understand all of this! When you come to think of it, there have to be other factors at play in determaning sex when the semen contains X and Y sperm around 50/50 of both. How else can you get 7 boys first? Must be environmental factors!

Hi I hope I am not teling you how to suck eggs here - I will find a good diagram that shows you how perm are made

 I'm back at it again this month. I took last month off but am ready to get back on track.  Nice to 'see' everyone again!

Hello everyone!!  I am sorry that I have not been around in a while, I hope that everyone is doing and great.....

Rachel whooo hooo!!  Congrats on your BFP.... praying that this bean sticks for you!!!

Well, we have now been doing SU for 1 year!!!  We made an attempt last week but for some reason my cycle was NOTHING like it has ever been before.   I don't even know how many DPO I am as I have no idea what DAY 1 was for AF as I was spotting/break through bleeding for 3 days before and then I had off and on bleeding after... not sure what to make of that at all!!

 I got my +OPK and within hours I had a CM shift which has never happened before, my cervix stayed soft and it is still is so I have no idea.  My temps were so high I have not really had a temp spike yet.  Geesh....  now as I am typing it I am getting more depressed thinking about how many things were off...

Hope that everyone else has way better luck than what I have had!!

OMG! A year? wow I respect your determination! I can't even pin point o+12 still!!!!

FiveCrazyMonkeys - The girl who had five girls out of eight eggs fertilised with ivf just had the sperm mixed with the eggs, not injected into the eggs. So no problem with her eggs excepting a girl sperm or surviving (at least in a petri dish!) The more I think about all this, the less it all make sense. It should be 50:50 all the way, but why did she have seven sons in succession before? Has to be more than luck in all this.....

So sorry Purple Dream, I saw you posted a broken heart for this past month.  Welcome back Kelchay.  Bobadoo, just remember all you need is the right little window for one little spermie.  It's frustrating when it's not a constant clear window, but it may have been there. You have been such a trooper and I've been trying half as long and feeling desperate to get pregnant at this point.  I admire that of you.  Hang in there. 

Question for us EW experts...can I pretty much believe after SU that what's in the EW is Y's?  I was having mixed feelings about what I was seeing but after my sort saw a bunch of sperm in the EW just wasn't sure of direction they were swimming, size etc.  DH was 8 and EW 9.3.  THANKS!

 So does anyone here believe in the moon playing a part in getting a girl or a boy? I just thought it was rubbish but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone only do their tbm/su etc when the moon is either full or new depending on what you're swaying for? Where we are limited to only trying before the cut off or doing 0+12 you may not end up trying because of the moon, then end up waiting another month?

Both of my DSs were conceived under new moon, so I personally try in either. I think you should ask yourself, will you regret that you were in a full moon if you get a BFP?! GL in making your decision!!

I've been wondering how you were! I'll keep my FX for you!

great job!  Don't you dare give up!  I wont let you, its so worth it.  Trust me!

Hello ladies!

Can anyone tell me, explain to me, how frequent sex (that leads to lower spermcounts) can increase your chance of getting a girl? I do understand how abstinence can increase the amount of X sperm in the semen, but how it works with frequent sex is inclear to me. Are the X sperm the first to be found in the semen again? I don't get this!

 Hi ladies! Hope you remember me!

I post this here too...

We are having a baby girl! It was only sad for the first days a little bit. Now we are happy and can't wait to see her. She is very cute on the pics.

I had bad GD with DD3 but nothing with this baby. We already got some stuff for her.

This is supose to be our last baby but DH said maybe we should have 1 more and don't sway like  crazy for a boy  because all girls would be nice. Well Im not sure about more kids.

Anyway Im only sorry for all the time (16 months) and all the money we waisted and all the m/s  we had. We could have just have a good time and made this baby...

We did everything even the msu was all good and still a girl for us. But we love her and can't wait to hold a new baby!

Thanks for everyone for all the help!

Anna- I don't forget you even send me your bra!

Where is your attempt posted?

Tamara:

Where is your attempt posted?

I think you posted it in spring in this buddy group?  you said you took rl and fur and did msu?  Sorry i just like to keep the stats up to date for people.  Congrats on the girl!  I love girls!  I'm sorry you didnt get your boy though

 I did not post this attempt. I think everyone know here how much we tried. Both me and DH was on  the diet , sups and drinks and we did msu.(yes RJ and FUR and TT too)

Ph was good, everything was ok.There was nothing we did wrong. Maybe we can only have girls.

I guess it's just not working for everyone no matter what.
