vendela - Good luck at your u/s today!!!

I was just thinking the same thing, should hear some news really soon.

Good luck honey

sorry I haven't come on here in awhile, but I hope everyone had a great x-mas and new year.TTC is still on hold b/c dh had to work over and my period still; is messed up b/c I just didn't take my fiest pill for the cycle and on day 2 I started bleeding, so I am still on bc for now.Hope everyone is well. GL to all and CONGRATS to all who I missed their BFP's.

Thank you, everyone, for your congratulations. I am the soooo happy right now and can't wait for all of you to join me with your good news, as well. Right now, I am getting a bit frustrated with people saying that we a had a 50-50 chance at a girl even without swaying and that we didn't need to go through everything that we did. I, of course, like to think that we upped our chances with all of our hard work. My mother-in-laws comments bother me the most because the family thought that we were crazy for believing in swaying. I am going to let it go though because I am soooo happy and nothing else matters. I do strongly believe that we would not have had our baby girl if it wasn't for swaying and IG. Miraclebaby- I felt like I messed up the timing because I never got a peak on the CBFM like I did in previous months. We DTD earlier that usual, with a 14 day abstinence, and would have had a 4-5 day cut-off, so I panicked and we DTD again and right after, I got a +OPK. The next morning, my temps went up confirming that I ovulated. So I probably only had a couple hour cut-off. We then tried for an 0+12, but I think it ended up being more that 0+20, but I am not sure. I worried about my timing for a long time, but realized that a lot of people still got their girls DTD through ovulation. I think the diet is more important. Miraclebaby- I love your girl name and hope that she joins your life soon. Rosa- I worried about my pH too because it dropped to a 3.8 a couple of times and even dropped below that at times. Tamara thought that all the sperm must have died, but I guess a few must have survived. It is probably a lot harder to get pregnant this way though, so It probably depends on how badly you want to get pregnant period, or wait for a pretty good chance at a girl (in my opinion). Indigo- I am so happy that your scan went well and hopefully you will find out next time that you have a healthy baby girl growing in there. Good luck to everyone else! Have a great weekend!

I am so happy and shocked right now. I opened up the envelope and the Dr. wrote down that he is 90% sure that I am having a GIRL! I can't believe it. I never thought that I would be able to have a biological daughter. I didn't have any MS and thought for sure that I was having another boy. I guess this Dr. was just trying to throw me off. We are going to name her Kailey. I hope she doesn't grow a penis in the next couple of weeks (Only joking of course). The Dr. could have missed something, but he is know for guessing correctly most of the time. I highly recommend being as strict as possible on the diet for all of you still TTC a baby girl. I messed up in so many other ways, but stuck to the diet in a very strict way. Good luck to everyone!

I'm so glad everything fell into place for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

I'll echo her reccommendation: I did almost everything to the letter except for diet, and no girl for me. Hang in there, ladies!

Sparkle- Thank you so much! Your sway was pretty close to perfect. I was so surprised that you weren't having a girl and really questioned swaying for this reason. You are going to love being a mom to a precious little boy though. They are so much fun. I thank God everyday for blessing me with my second son who I felt a lot of GD with. I never thought that I would even think of 3 kids and here we are, finally with a daughter. You never know what the future has in store for all of us. I can't believe that your little one is due soon. I bought your little guy something and plan on sending it to you soon. I thought that it was pretty cute. I actually bought it for you right when you found out that you were having a boy, but forgot to mail it. I can't wait to see a picture of your little man.

Good luck honey

Thank you girls! All went well We managed to get there on time despite the snow. It's my 4th baby but it's still magical to see the little miracle on the screen, that tiny heart beating away. The bean measured 8 weeks but I know I must be 7w 3 days and the tech said that's probably right as it's always +/- 3 days so she didn't change my due date   The scan always makes it real to me and now it's finally sinking in that I'll have a baby this summer

 

vendela - I'm soooo happy that everything went well and that you made it despite all of the snow.

Shellie V. - Wooohooooooooo!  Congratulations!!!!!!!!   I'm so happy for you.

fata - Thank you!   I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well.  Hopefully, I will be lucky enough to have a DD as well.   Somehow I cannot even imaging that I can "produce" girls.

double-trouble - Thank you!  You really give me hope!  You did O+12 and no cut-off, right?  Was your pH below 4 during your attempt?

M&M - GL with your O+12 attempt!

miraclebaby - I wouldn't really go by standardized online ovulation calenders.  I generally don't O on cd 14 either.  Do you use other ways to check if you O?   Concerning my low pH, Tamara suggested for me to switch to coral calcium to increase pH.  If that doesn't work, she suggested douching with milk.

hoping - It's so nice to hear from you.  We miss you!

Sparkle - How are you?  I cannot believe that you'll have your baby in 3 weeks.  It's so exciting!!!  How do you feel?

Vendella~ yay, I'm so glad the scan went well!! It is just such a relief to see that heartbeat.

Hoping~ great to hear from you

You are going to love being a mom to a precious little boy though. They are so much fun. I thank God everyday for blessing me with my second son who I felt a lot of GD with...

I actually bought it for you right when you found out that you were having a boy, but forgot to mail it. I can't wait to see a picture of your little man.

Awwwwww! You're so sweet! You made me get all teary! Of course, that happens a lot lately. Silly hormones! Thanks so much for thinking of me, you've been such great support. I'm thrilled for you, you deserve to receive your heart's desire.

AFM, I'm doing pretty good. A comfortable sleep position is getting hard to come by. DH made me a pile of pillows and comforters on my side of the bed: it's so tall, I feel like the the Princess and the Pea! That and the living room recliner are my best bets, though. The Passenger is still breech, and the midwives either want me to do an external version (attempt to turn him from the outside), or consider a c-section. still trying the exercisesand going to acupuncture to encourage him to move on his own, but as far as I can tell, he's just taken the extra room to nestle higher under my ribs, and stretch out his legs to tap dance on my cervix!  I'm meeting with the Maternal/fetal docs next week to discuss the pros and cons of the external versionor a c-section for my situation. I'll have a decision by the end of next week. Oh well, at least if I end up with a CS, there's NO WAY my MIL will get in! That's a Pro in my book.

Otherwise, everything is great and on track, though I'm definitely slowing down. I take like two naps a day. But hey, gestating is a hrd job, and DH is taking great care of me.

Wishing you all all possible luck and joy.

M&M - GL with your O+12 attempt!

Thanks Rosa - And good luck with the dieting.  I think the diet is by far the hardest part of the sway!

Hi ladies,

Well I'm back from my summer holiday and have so much to catch up on....

Alissa - I'm so very sorry you are going through this. My M/C was in Oct and at times it feels so raw. I ended up bleeding for about two weeks after the D&C. I couldn't bear to go through a natural miscarriage. I had about 10 days off then I got my period back. Pretting normal cycle but the one I am in now is really weird and out of wack. Hang in there and take your time to grieve. You've been through a lot.

Aussie Twinkle - I'm sorry to be also reading about your loss. It is so terrible. I hope you are OK and remember to take one day at a time. Fingers crossed for you my fellow Aussie!

M&M - Good luck with the babymaking. I really hope you have a pink sticky bean in there. As I suspected I O'd this past Tuesday in the full moon. I'm so outta wack that I don't really know what to expect next? Perhaps AF in two weeks or so. Who knows???

Vendela - great to hear your scan went well.

Indigo and Dollies - Hope you guys are feeling OK.

Lisa TLC - Good luck with your impending testing. Have you resisted to POAS?

3littlemen - You prob won't be reading this for a while but all the best until we hear from you again.

Astro Chick - Hope you are stonger than me and can resist to test early. I vow that I will wait next time as I got myself in such a tizz although it tested positive on 11DPO.

To the newbies welcome and good luck. Hopeful Monster, Newby, Hilzery1985, d4d

Shellie V - Woohoo. How fantastic. Now relax girl and let it sink in. P.S send me some pink dust!

Miracle Baby - Good luck this month. Hopefully the Clomid did the trick!

Sparkle Plenty - In the home stretch now. So still in breach....mmmm. Already a little rascal!

And to Turtles, Rosa, SOSsis, Chicky, USA 98, Blessed Joy, Double Trouble, Fata and anyone else I have missed - Howdy.

Alissa:

Hello Girls~

I'm back from my D&C...the surgery went well.  I just have some mild cramping and still kind of sleepy.  Well I guess in a month or so I'll be back on the ttc board again.  They were able to get enough fetal tissue for chromosomal testing and we should have the results in a few weeks.

Well I'm going to go and rest...thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Hey girl, I'm so glad to hear it went well and that you are resting. Take good care of yourself!  I could have SWORN I OV'ed only 2 weeks after my D&C. Pains, EWCM, etc, etc. I really think I did! It was only 2 weeks after that when I got AF. Just like a regular cycle for me. Not too bad. Hopefully it will only take a few weeks for you! FX!

Indigo - So glad your scan went well! Its always nice to see your little baby wiggling around in there!

Rosa - Good luck with the whole Girl Diet thing! Let us know what you find out from Tamara!

Shellie - OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!! Seriously?????? That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fata - Its nice to hear from you! How awesome is it that your little girl is sleeping so well and is so calm!!!???!!??? 

Miracle - Hey hon! I'm here, stalking, reading, lurking, waiting.... I hope you can pinpoint that OV and make this THE month! !

Vendela - What a wonderful way to start of the New Year! Seeing your precious little one! Sighhh.....I've been thinking a lot about my little lost one.  I would be due in 9 days.....

Sparkle - Aw....how sweet of your DH to be taking good care of you in these last few agonizing weeks! Keep taking your naps and taking care of yourself! I sure hope that little guy decides to turn at the last minute! !

WannaBambina - Howdy back atcha!

Well, ladies, I've lost 9 pounds in the last 12-13 days! I feel as though I've been asleep for the past 5 years and have just now awakened!!  Atkins has done me a WORLD of wonder and I have so much energy and motivation! I don't feel hungry and tired all the time! (Ok, ok, enough with the Atkins infomercial!)

I guess I am technically in the 2WW but I am NOT holding my breath. I haven't even been counting how many dpo I am! Isn't that CRAZY????? I have totally let this go and have decided that if it will happen, I will absolutely know it when AF is 2-3 days late. Only then will I test ONCE. If I am pregnant, then it absolutely should be a BFP by then. However, if I am NOT pregnant, then it will be a BFN and I will expect AF to begin arriving anytime. I hope I am not just babbling here, but I really feel like a changed person - like I have let go of so much tension and anxiety over the past 2 weeks. I have started focusing on MY health and well-being instead of OV'ing, AF, 2WWs and BFNs over and over and over again.

IT IS SO FREEING!!!!!!

Alright, its out there. Thanks for listening!
