TTC and Beyond!

Yes, Nikki. You can get pH strips on amazon. The boy diet is very "meat and potatoes" and high calorie. No dairy. Doesn't bother me at all! Also, BB is right about timing. For a boy, you don't dtd until after a +OPK. Also, female orgasm after sex and deep penetration positions "sway" boy.

These are all just sways-the most I've seen a study "proove" is like 60%/40%. Still fun to try!!

Lol- waves-the docs at work actually say that if you have two of one gender it's probably luck, but 3+ of the same gender and you probably have some kind of predisposition to sway.

So fun how genetics, epigenetics and pharmacogenomics play into things like this...I'm such a science geek.

Me too Kara!!

PS sorry I am whiny lately!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sandy it's okay, I hope your last day goes well.
Kara that is interesting how much diet can effect it. I will have to do come research to see if femara would change it.
Julie good luck today.
Cass I hope your appointment goes well.
Afm I'm tired and want to go back to bed.

lol yeah i figure 3 of a kind is probably not just coincidence, especially if there are 2 different fathers. we go back and forth on if we want more but i think OH will be very hard to convince to have another. i AM curious to see if the next baby would wind up being a boy or girl though.

all this cramping makes me so nervous and its so painful that it makes me nauseous...i would like to fast forward the next like 5 weeks :/

My husband has 4 boys, when we checked his sperm PH it was through the rough. We tried everything to turn it to the girls PH but nope!

Brittney cramps are normal. If you worried though ring your Doctor

Sandy I know how you feel. I can hardly breath ,it's so exhausting . I've been to the midwife this morn and she thinks baby will be early so now I'm finishing work on the 17th sept. I can't wait to finish for a year.
Interesting stuff about gender, I didn't follow anything. I eat lots of carbs and meat but we had sex every day sometimes twice a day all through ovulation. I can't wait to know if baba is a boy or girl.

 

[Cowgirl07]

When do you find out Colette?
I can check Dh sa and see what the ph is.
Edit it says normal.

 

[clynn11]

The only thing about Zuri was we only bd'd the one time... 2 days before o. Which follows along with shettles method for a girl!

 

[frsttimemama]

How did your appointment go.Cass??

Collette, when are you due?

Brittney, it is normal but scary. Call the doc if you need to though!

 

[Lotalaughs16]

I have my first appt on August 25...until then I'm using up my stash of pee sticks to keep myself sane. The cramps come in waves and there's no blood so I'm sure everything is fine but I can't help that first thought every time a cramp comes on.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Oh and on the subject of gender sway...we only dtd one day this cycle and it was the day I got a positive OPK (once in morning and once at night) -- guess we'll see...as of now though we'll have to wait 36 weeks bc I think we're team yellow for now.

 

[clynn11]

I'm hooked up to monitors now for the NST. I will let you all know how it goes

 

[clynn11]

Appointment was pretty much a bust. Had the doctor I don't like. He didn't check me because they checked me on Friday. Won't give me a sweep because I'm gbs+. Last appointment will be Thursday morning then they'll book me in for induction probably that day as they don't want anyone going over 42 weeks. She has 3 days to come on her own.

 

[brunettebimbo]

What's gbs+?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ugh I'm sorry Cassidy.

 

[wavescrash]

Aw sorry Cass I remember the disappointment that comes with the end of pregnancy and progression or lack thereof and shitty doctors. However he's smart to not do a sweep with you being GBS+, as upsetting as it is. I forgot that you were and need the antibiotics. Since he didn't do an internal though, you could very well be 4cm dilated or 100% effaced now and not even know it and could go into labor tonight or tomorrow morning. So just have faith your baby girl knows what she needs to do for a safe and smooth arrival

I'm sure you're trying everything in the world to coax her out so feel free to ignore my suggestions but walk up and down stairs (helps lower her head to put more pressure on the cervix to make the changes it needs), nipple stimulation can cause contractions - you just don't want to overdue it and cause contractions too strong her to handle, foot massage (look up the pressure points said to help naturally induce labor.)
