*Comments?*	I hope this gives hope to ladies whose DHs are very stubborn and unwilling to take part in swaying like my DH! You really can make a difference with everything that you do to sway! I think that the cue II is invaluable for timing O+12. Also IONS are very important!	Tried to bring feminine energy into the house in how I decorated. (sounds weird but it's what I did) A week before I ovulated I had an awful stomach flu so I probably lost some weight. Dh had been mountain biking a lot so maybe lowered sperm count? Didn't BD much up until around ovulation so a bit of abstinence. I recommend buying a day of the week pill keeper for yourself and dh to keep on top of all the supplements. Prayed for a daughter I could raise to serve God. Hope this helps someone get the daughter they are hoping for!	WE DID THE CUTOFF UNTIL THE LST MONTH WHEN WE DTD EVERYNIGHT THROUGH O AND FINALLY GOT A BFP! I THINK DTD EVERYNIGHT HELPED LOWER DH SPERM COUNT AND WHAT GAVE US OUR GIRL ALONG WITH LOWERING HIS PH LEVELS!

*Comments?*	Had 2 sessions of Kinesiology with goal to fall pregnant easily and have a healthy pregnancy resulting in the safe and quick birth of our baby girl. This was a VERY POWERFUL experience which I strongly believe helped to result in our BFP first month TTC.	I stopped using lime douche before and after this month and stopped the lime tampons. I think thats what did it. I hope I still have a chance for a girl!	It's a miracle I'm having a girl!! DH's family is ALL BOYS so this was my only hope (especially since this is our last)!!! A few more things that I did was drank a lot of Crystal Light, laid with hips propped for about 40 mins after DTD, inserted 1-2 ml of lime water mix after DTD, and I applied a tiny bit of Canola Oil for lube purposes.

*Comments?*	Hope it worked!	Just FYI tested at 10 dpo and got a negative, tested at 11 dpo and got that positive - used FRER both times. Also, lots of prayer and supportive friends!	Took supps for 1.5 months before attempt. +OPK on CD 13 at 11 am. Kept watching CM and cervical position. CM EW/creamy, but cervix high, soft, and open. Cervix very much open all day. No sign of vervical shift. -OPK by 11 pm so I knew I was close to my attempt! DH still released to keep sperm count low. CM is creamy, C is open, soft, and getting lower! Some slight cramping. CD14 1st day of new moon phase. 5am CM is very dry, so dry I thought I'd missed my window, but went for it anyway! Cervix is low, getting firmer and more closed. Took Sudafed, Douched with 3 ml of 2:1 lime 30 minutes before attempt. BD missionary and shallow, No O. Douched again with 3 ml of lime. Layed with hips up for 10 mins, then on stomach (I have a tipped back uterus) for 45 minutes. Got up, showered, did lime tampon for 4 hours. After removing that after 4 hours I waited 4 hours, checked my CM and it was a 7 so I put another lime tampon for 4 more hours just to be sure. CD 15 C was low, firm, and closed. Temp went up. I was sure I had ovulated.

At 1.10pm it was 6.00 so I put a vinegar soaked tampon in and went to bed and dropped hips. Next morning my temps had dropped - yikes! but my cervix was telling me that I had definitely ovulated and I was very dry. My PH was 6.25 so I did a finger of Replens and by 4.45pm my PH was 4.0. I got a yeast infection after that!!!!!! The douche was PH 4 and I used 4mls. I used about 2.5ozs of distilled water and about 5ozs of vinegar.	We prayed too! I hope it worked.

*Comments?*	Lots and Lots of prayers that I'd conceive a baby girl. Tried to think positive thoughts only that "I will have a baby girl."	~	We were trying to avoid as we had already done our Microsort consult and were scheduled to cycle in March. Went away for the weekend and drank a lot of wine. I thought with all the vinegar and cut-off there was no chance at pregnancy but I was wrong. :) When I found out I was pregnant I thought I'd really messed up, but thankfully its worked out! I also got a really strong early pregnancy test 5 days before my period was due. The line was dark. I was also very sick this time out and was put off work for two weeks. But, its worth it! Thank-you In-Gender and Redcin- you made my dream come true!

*Comments?*	Thought for sure this would be enough to get my daughter, but I guess not. Also thought that because Shettles and diet (without knowing it) worked for DS, it would work this time as well for a girl.... :( Happy to have another healthy boy and love him to bits though!	We had decided to not try anymore. DH and I BD’d 7 days before O, and only had sex twice that month. Both DH and I had quit smoking so we think it helped with fertility. This baby is definitely a surprise miracle. I hope and pray this is a girl. DH has been drinking Crystal Lite like crazy since the summer, so I think it has kept his pH down.	I truly believe that lowering our ph was the big factor here. I even mentioned this to our doctor and she totally agreed.

*Comments?*	I was doing TBM (3 months) and the cut off (4 months) without results. I was so desperate that I did it the day of O…and got pregnant! I was suffering a lot of regret for not doing Shettles and being so impatient, but finally it is a girl. I suppose that it was because of the diet, vinegar, moon, supplements…and a lot of praying!	We BD 24 hours after my 1st + OPK, and when my CM had shifted. My cervix stayed soft and my temps were low for 2 days. Then my cervix went firm and temps spiked. But my CM stayed sticky. I got my symptoms early and a BFP at 9DPO so I hope those are good signs too.	I douched before each attempt and had ZERO CM.

*Comments?*	If you asked me what I think went wrong...I'd say the last BD before O and the O+12 (ish).... If I could change my sway, that would be the only thing! Skipping the last two BDing sessions, that's all. We may have not done everything, but we swayed hard and did alot! So swaying may not be for me..and/or I messed it up...but I would still encourage anyone to try it! I believe it works!	Only things done different compared to dear son, was the jumping & dumping after every Bd, missionary position, no bd'ing from day before during & day after "O". ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And girls are rare in my husbands "male" side of family, second girl in a very long time. Well overdue, so thrilled and excited!!	I wasn't getting pregnant with girl timing and douche, so I dropped those when I started the Clomid. BFP first cycle on Clomid! I also propped hips for 30 minutes after every attempt during +opk time and used Canola Oil as a lube.

*Comments?*	Only did supps for about 3 weeks	The ONLY liquids I drank were- Evian water, organic milk (at least 3 large glasses a day, usually way more), Perrier and crystal light but ONLY mixed with Evian water. Last cycle/month #1 I used Replens AFTER BD in place of a douce and probably killed off all the sperm. I'm glad it didn't work out cause after being on the diet for 2 months, my pH was never above 5.5! I refused to try any douches because I am very sensitive. While I was on the diet 100%, DH was probably doing it 80-90% but did stay away from the forbidden foods at all times. I loaded the house with lavender hand washing soap and lotion as well. I decided to BD through O based on the way my boys were conceived along with majorly changing my diet and environment. My normal way of eating is very much on the "boy diet" as I have a lactose intollerance. I sucked it up for two months and also substituted milk with organic Lactaid. I'm also nursing DS2 twice a day right now. Lots of prayers that we are getting our baby girl!!!	We were actually "on hold" this cycle since we didn't really want another holiday baby. (Our due date is now only 2 weeks away from DS's bday). However, I O'd about a week earlier than I thought I would, which happened to be our wedding anniversary weekend, so here we are, pregnant again! Also, not sure if this matters in any way, but I did have a chemical pregnancy on December 23, 2008, just 3 months prior.
