TTC a girl in Summer or Fall 2012

 I have a creekin my back yard!!! LOL Maybe that will help too!

And Mountain I read that the swimmers have to have pH of 7.5 so you were right on the first time....

Here is a fun link that goes along with swaying as well...but she has some mojo stuff too...like she incorporates them to make it magical...I don't think it's magic...I think it is the lemon and lime LOL

 Thank You Mountain, that's cleared it up a bit but keep me informed on what you think about diluting the lime down first, i mean we do wanna actually make the baby without killing all the spermies before they even get a chance! all be it the right (pink dusted) spermies! i'll keep you all informed with what i'm doing  aiden&ryan's mommy - the ions thing is crazy - so much to consider there! ok well i can easily do quite a bit of those listed and i'll be investing in some rose quartz and the jewelery, i guess the only way to find out if it all will work will be if or should i say when we get our girlies

I'm staying up late doing mad science experiments and I wanted to share what I have learned. 

A slide of semen has a ton of swimmers!  You can see who is swimming straight (boy) and who is swimming in circles (girl).

Then I added pure lime, at first there were a few still swimming and they were swimming in circles, yay, the girls do exist!  However, after about 10 minutes the slide with pure lime was all dead.

Then I tried adding diluted lime.  I used 1 part lime and 4 parts distilled water for my diluted lime solution.  When I added that it did kill most of the swimmers, I'd say about 90% but the 10% that were still alive are all circle swimmers (girls).  And they are still swimming around on the slide about 1.5 hours later.

I can see now why using lime while ttc will decrease the chance at conception.  However, if you do conceive I think you have a great chance of having a girl.  I think for me it is worth a try because I'm not in a rush to get pregnant.

Has anyone else done microscope research?  If so, what did you find?

Oh, BeadinBabe - Yes, positive is above the middle line and negative is below.  How are your biorythms for May?

Isn't it fun experimenting?! LOL

So I'm thinking the diluted lime is the way to go. My plan is to get pregnant next month, so we will be making several attempts. It's going to be a lot of work keeping my ph down, but in order to give us a better chance at a girl, I'll do what I have to.

Thanks for the info about the biorhythms...I bought an app for my phone (it cost $2) and you can put in your birthday and it reads your biorhythms and predicts what days you should BD to conceive a girl or boy. So during my fertile week in May - BOY...THE DAY AFTER I OVULATE? GIRL!!! LOL....just my luck ;) I was going to skip it, but I think I'm going to throw in O+12 for good measure now.

If anybody wants to know about the week they ovulate, just give me your birthdate and the days you should be ovulating & I'll look it up for you!

SOOOO glad we have this place to bounce ideas off of each other!! Thanks MountainViews!!!

Hey Ladies!

Wow, this thread is growing! ;)  Nice to have so many new people! 

MountainViews-- I loved your post about all the relaxing techniques :)...so useful and such good reminders!  From what I have read on here, I thought it said that it was a great idea to take a warm bath before your attempt...because it would warm up DH "buddies" as well as lower ph in both the women and DH.  I was definetely planning on taking a bath before our attempt...to both relax and lower ph and give the girl sperm an energy boost! :)  Also, I love your chicken post using the mrs. dash grill seasoning!...I will try that!  Can you give me your whole process of what you do with chicken on the grill?? ...I am so new at this chicken thing...we didn't eat chicken very often at all... more beef... LOL! :)  Do you wash the ckicken breasts before putting on the grill?  Did you marinade them in anything before-hand?  How long, and what heat, did you use for cooking??... I think I tend to overcook chicken as well...that's why I like the idea of marinading them in something...but I don't think we have any options for that except for yogurt with mrs. dash, right?? ;)  Also, I loved the info you gave about asking the moms with girls what their diets were... so helpful and so encouraging!!...we are on the right path with skipping breakfast and lots of diary!! :)  What do you think about having tea in the morning?...I know you said that you have a cup of coffee... would having pepperming tea in the morning raise blood sugar?  I've just been having water in the AM until noon right now...

BeadinBabe-- what is Heavenly Hash??...sounds super yummy...please share :)  I need more food inspiration...and quick!! LOL :)  Also, I am "tentitively" thinking our attempt may be around the 20th of May... in the New Moon phase... just not sure on the exact days yet... I am expecting my period any day now and then I can get a better idea for next month :)  I have been charting in FF as well and it has been so cool knowing what is happening with my body and o... I never knew before!  Anyway, my birthday is August 20, 1982... is that the info you needed to tell me what that chart says??... what is that again?

Oh, to keep with sharing our menu ideas... last night we had the chicken fajitas from the girl cookbook... that works out pretty well for us all... I just cook up some white rice and cook the ckicken with the mrs. dash chiptole seasoning and the others seasoning that the recipe calls for...along with chopped up leeks and some fresh parsley.  It's still lacking salt...but better than other things we've had! LOL :)  Tonight I was thinking of trying some buckwheat pancakes with scrambled eggs... another mom who was sharing her girl diet expierence was talking about buckwheat pankcakes that they cooked up... does anyone have a recipe for any by chance?? 

Talk to you all soon! :)

Hi Booey!! :)

First...STAY AWAY FROM THE HEAVENLY HASH...it's an easter candy...like gold brick eggs ;) Definitely NOT on the girl diet!

Secondly - for the biorhythms if you ovulate on the 20th, it says BOY, BUT if you ovulate on the 22nd, it says GIRL. I'm in the same sort of situation...soooo close. So we'll definitely be DTD on the 21st. Not sure if I believe in all of it, but it is very interesting!!

Your chicken fajitas sound GREAT! Lately, I've been living off of my yogurt and cottage cheese and milk and crystal light and the hubby and boys eat their own dinner. Not much fun. Definitely going to try MountainViews grilled chicken AND your chicken fajitas...I think the kids would love it and it's something we can all eat!!

BeadinBabe - I have looked into the moon phase and whether or not the moon is in male or female phase, but I have not figured out how to read the biorhythm.  .If my cycle stays on track, My fertile period will be July 17th to the 20th.  The 16th to 18th are going into New Moon and in the female moon phase, while the 19th to the 21st are leaving the new moon and a male moon phase.  I was wondering what the biorhythm would say.....my birthday is March 6, 1980 (eastern time zone...not sure if it matters)

Thanks a Bunch 

LOL!...Heavenly Hash!!..I was so hoping it might be a good egg dish for us to have or something!! ha-ha! :)

Thanks for the biorhythms info... I will get back to you with the updated dates when I get my period and can figure out better when our attempt is... I was also reading that we should look at both DH and ours...is that right?  His b-day is Nov. 2, 1977...if that is helpful :)  I don't know how much I will follow that...but it is interesting! :)  So, during that week...is the only day that it says girl for me on the 22nd?  I am not sure which day I will ovulate...and I might not know the "exact day" until it happens ;)

 I think I'm becoming a fanatic...it's a sickness you know...ttc...it gets in your head and festers....I can't look stuff up enough...I can't wait to be over this so I can relax...lol

I have also deduced that to do Atkins and the girl diet I can only eat berries, gum, parmesan cheese, propel water, eggs, cottage cheese, fish, cranberries, chicken breast aspertame with no breakfast!! Really!?? Only doing it through the tww.

Hey there!
Okay...July 17-19 = Girl; July 20 = Boy

For what it's worth, it was right for all 3 of my boys and for my sister's oldest child but wrong for her next 2...my other niece was right though.

I know exactly what you mean!!

Sorry Booey!!! LOL!!

Just let me know those dates later and I'll let you know what it says!! :)

 As it stands moon sign has been completely correct for me so if that is right then if I O on the 21st like I'm supposed to (yea right) probably earlier since I went off of BCPs then this would be a girl...

 Another formula that has worked for me is Mother's age at conception and month of conception. even/odd or odd/even is boy and even/ even is girl, odd/odd is girl as well. I am 38 conceiving hopefully in an even month so I have two things for me that have stood for 16 years now. Gosh I hope it works!!!

Hi BeadinBabe, would you be able to check on my dates?  My birthdate is 6/4/72 and I should be ovulating around 5/11/12.  I'm planning on trying for the first time next month, or maybe in June, not exactly sure yet. 

 This thread is great!  Thanks!

Thanks a bunch!!!!  I'm having a really good feeling about this.....This fertile period is in the new moon, girl moon phase and now the biorhythm says girl.  I hope that this, with the diet and supplements will bring my boys their sissy  =)

Hi Heavenlee!
For May 11th - it says boy. If you should happen to ovulate later, like on May 19th, it says girl.

I wouldn't put much faith in it all, it's just something fun to do! Besides with the negative ions and all the other things we're doing, even if this were all true, it would be counteracted! :)

I'm exactly 3 weeks older than you! We'll get our girls...it helps that we're a little bit older, too! ♥
