Great, thanks Tamara! I will have to find myself some Ph strips, I couldn't find any at my local CVS. Every day I write down what I've taken, if that's what you mean by tracking.

I can so relate to this! However, just as not all girls turn out girly, not all boys are into "guns, trucks and dirt." In the area I live in (San Francisco Bay area) that is NOT the norm, actually. I don't know anyone who owns guns or goes fishing! My boys are very bookish, enjoy watching the Food Network with me, cooking, baking, gardening, and yes, playing their trains. So I think the ...

Thanks for the advice, ladies! It is invaluable. The other contradiction I seem to find is in white rice. It's part of the girl diet, but from what I know about nutrition, white rice converts into sugar, which is a no-no on the girl diet. I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot when I eat some of the foods that are on the girl diet. Soooooooo annoying! [^o)]

I'm new to this as well, and I'm not quite up to the time and committment it takes to douche, mess with ions, ordering acijel online, etc etc. So what I'm focussing on is the timing and supplements/diet. I'm drinking milk like crazy, taking Calcium/Magnesium daily, cranberry pills, avoiding sodium and potassium to sway for a girl. Also, I'm timing BD the opposite of how I did my sons. I just wante...

This might seem like a silly question, but how do I know if I'm overdoing my diet and supplements or not doing enough? I'm swaying for a girl and taking Cal Mag supps, avoiding potassium and sodium, but I have no idea if that is really changing anything or if I'm depleting myself in an unhealthy way. Are there symptoms of deficiencies?
I can't imagine going in for an actual blood test--my doctor ...

Thanks much, mrs.dilettante! That is very helpful--no more orange juice for me, even if it is enriched with calcium! [HL]

So I've just started the girl diet and I'm confused with all of the information out there. I am trying to get as many calcium sources as possible, and I've heard that citrus fruits help with acidity for girl TTCing? So I'm having orange juice every day, but I notice that it has a fair amount of potassium. Argh! So I compared the lists of potassium rich foods vs calcium rich foods an...

I was just wondering if any of you have had dreams of pregnancy/babies before or during TTCing. I had dreams with both of my sons that I would have a son, and they turned out looking just like the babies in my dreams. I am TTCing a girl, but last night I had a dream that I was holding a newborn son and feeling so much love for him that I was crying. That's the second time I've dreamt of a newborn ...

Hi all, I'm new here, although I've been lurking for quite a while and learning all there is to learn from you smart ladies! I've been blessed in not having trouble getting pregnant, and conceived two healthy boys right on or around ovulation, at ages 31 and 33. I am now 36 and would like to sneak in one more shot at a girl before my childbearing years wind down. I have lots of EWCM each...
