Hi Melody. Sorry I am sure you have already written this but I am just running out the door for work so thought I would post to see if you see this and reply (and also site is still playing up when I try and search for your old posts). You have said that you didn't do diet for your O+12 attempt? Can you tell me what your natural diet is/was like i.e. do you have breakfast, coffee/tea, meat, lots or minimal dairy etc? Also was your diet the same as when you conceived your boys or did you try and reduce salt, increase dairy for your girl attempt? I am going to try O+12 for a few cycles and see what happens. Will take the supplements but thought I may (still deciding if to do a full on diet change or not) just try and modify my diet, cut down on meat, increase diary, use low fat milk etc. So would be really interested to see what your diet was like? Do you believe a true O+12 attempt is more important than major modifications to diet?

Hi. Thanks so much for that. Would you recommend to be on the supplements a minimum of 6 weeks as you do for the diet? Also did you use a digital pH probe or just the strips? cheers

Hello All,

 I am very new to this site.  I have browsed through all the FAQ and IG diet/ cookbook etc.   I also have 2 boys and will TTC a girl in 2012. I have started the supplements today and the diet last week. I have read alot about o+12 and I think I am pretty sure how it works. However, leading up to ovulation i do have alot of EWCM, however, I don't know how the amount will be affected after being on the supplements for a while.  I read alot of ladies being really dry and cannot pinpoint ovulation.  this is my main concern.   I have the CB ovulation preditor.  BBT thermometer i cannot find, will any thermometer work?  trying to figure out CP etc. Please advise.  my personal email address is somen432@gmail.com .  Judy17 maybe you and I can be on this journey together.  what do you think?..TIA

Wishing4Princess - I had initially planned on using the jelly's and antihistamines but I won't use these as they will interfere with determining O+12 and it sounds like you may not need them with O+12. But I will use Sylk and I may (not sure though yet) think about acijel after dtd at 0+12? Not sure about the diet and CM. I have just got AF back after finishing up feeding my baby so excited to monitor cycles to see if I can work out O+12.  I did have a pH meter I found at work but the cord is missing so I may just order in some pH strips or try and see if I can replace the cord and sneak it home for me to use.

I will order in the supplements over the next few weeks and think about changing my diet (and make a plan) but I won't do a full on starvation type diet if I can work out O+12. Then need to talk to hubby about abstaining so won't be ready to sway for few months yet :)cheers

Thank you ladies for getting back to me.  Melody, I keeping reading your posts and they make alot of sense to me and make me feel so much better about this whole gender sway thing. You are so wise!.  Can you tell me how long you were on the supplements and saw palmetto. Do you recommend Vitex? should i just skip it?..Did you take all supplements AF-AF..or just 6 wks and you fell pregnant?  I read Saw Palmetto should be taken by DH between Af-O.  how about if I'm not TTC until Feb or March.  is it safe to take through out cycles?  I am also taking B-complex in addition to folate.  It's recommended you wean off B6 slowly after BFP.  what if I don't wean off and just start taking pre-natals with B6..that should be ok?  Thank you so much!!

Thanks Melody!, a few more questions...which test strips did you use?  was your PH right on 4.0? did you test DH ph?...forgive me for asking so many questions.  I'm just trying to prepare myself for all this.TIA.

 Ok. is it just me or is everyone having trouble getting on the forums page often.  it's usually down 3 times a week for me.....

Anyhow, thanx Melody for responding.  I bought the SP you recommended and will order the PH strips soon.  So yesterday at 5:00 pm I got my first +OPK.  I still am not too sure about the timing after the first +OPK.  in your previous posts you said that the actual +OPK is when the test line is darker than the control line.  I have the Clear Blue ovulation kit.  smiley face shows the positive.  When i take it out of the tester..i do see the 2 lines one being a little faint and the other being darker...i'm a little confused about this.  I just dont want to mess up my timing. thanx
