It is a Baby Boy

 

I will update in 17 weeks when I know the gender.

I was on the girl diet for 3 months, and used the IG TTC a girll cookbook for all meals. I was pretty good about it, and I ate lots of dairy. I lost 20 lbs, and worked out 5 days a week in those 3 months. However, at CD 7-10 we had a family vacation and I cheated (I was so good beforehand!) Embarrassed. I had a 2 bites of hamburger, and a handful of my kids french fries. I couldn't help it. But I ONLY ate yogurt w/equal and strawberries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 4 days until "O" to make up for it.

I had my salt lamp and humidifier on at home as much as possible . Humidifier was on all night while I slept. I wore rose quartz bracelet and had tourmaline and hematite in my bra for 3 months until confirmed "0". I took a shower every morning and night. I work all day on the computer, and only have the salt lamp and fan on at home. I thought I might look funny at work with a fan on when it was so coldEmbarrassed.

I removed my IUD in late Febuary. I Od unexpectently in mid-March, but fortunately did not get pregnant. Was taking 1200mg of Calcium, 600 of Magnesium, 81mg of ASA, 1000mg of Folic acid, 1 prenatal vitamin, Cranberry (as much as I could), Sudafed the day before and the day of attempt. DH was taking Cranberry and licorice root. I drank crystal light like there was no tomorrow and had about 1-2 cups of peppermint tea a day. I did a fingertip of replens every other day until confirmed "O".

Dh is an avid mountain bike rider but was taking the week off since we were on vacation. He was doing a lot of biking when I concieved the boys too, so that never really helped.

I usually O around CD 17-19, but my Ovacue reported "Ovulation confirmed" on CD 13. I got the confirmed reading at about 9pm on CD 13, had bloody cm at 6am the next morning on CD14. I Bd at 6pm that evening on CD 14.  I didn't have any cm so it is hard to say if I really had changes, but "I think" I did based on my cervix getting firmer. There was a very big difference in my cervix on CD 15, AFTER temp change. I never did get a positive OPK.

My pH always hovered around 5. I did the Hanna tester and pH strips. I can't say I am confident on what my pH was- the hannah tester drove me crazy and I could never calibrate it correctlyGrouchy, but it read the same as the strips. No bding for 9 days and Dh abstained for 5 days (we tried for the 7 but got a little carried away over vacation and he ended up releasing -TMIEmbarrassed). I used replens 1 hour before attempt and rephresh as a lube. It was very shallow entry, him on top no big O. I douched with 3cc of store bought vinegar douche 5 minutes after attempt. Ended up douching with 1-3 ccs every 30 minutes for 4 hours since my pH never dipped under 5. I had a Diva Cup in for the first four hours. After the 4 hours, I put in a lime tampon in for 4 hours.

 And I had a cute Gymboree pink dress under the mattressHappy  LOL

Here are my ovacue readings:

  Oral                       Vaginal

CD 3     04/05       67                            178

CD 4     04/06       89                             182

CD 5     04/07      104                           168

CD 6     04/08       141                           158

CD 7     04/09        107                          208

CD  8    04/10         113                          148

CD 9    04/11        97                              123

CD 10  04/12        97                              132

CD 11  04/13        114                              89

CD 12 04/14         127                            98

CD 13 04/15          128                           114    *ovulation confirmed

CD 14 04/16          135                            201  *vaginal reading was done 3 hours after bd, and I was still douching every 30 minutes

CD 15 04/17           137                           125

CD 16 04/18           104                           107

 

And my chart:


 

 

My BFP was VERY light today on 13 DPO, so I am a little worried about it sticking. But only time will tell!

The million dollar question on IG is if swaying works. We may never know-but you must be ok with any baby before you sway because an opposite is likely.
 
Thanks IG for the yucky diet, the nasty yeast infections, and the lab in my bathroom so that I can love beyond words something I didn't think I wanted Love Ya!

just wanted to say I'm sorry you didn't get your girl, but wish you all the luck with the rest of your pregnancy and your beautiful baby boy.  Wow, it really sounds like you had the PERFECT sway.  So frustrating that it didn't work for you.  I can relate as I found out on Tuesday that my girl sway didn't work either and am expecting DS #2 January 13. 

Baby Boy 2007 and Baby Boy#2 due January 13 (failed girl sway attempt)!
