Just a lil Update.......

stricklyboys — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 18:12:00 GMT

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit... just nothing really to report on...LOL
I have been busy reading my books and finding out alot of stuff... simple stuff that helps alot that I never knew a thing about. I find it very intresting... it may not nessasarily be about TTC a girl ... but more about the makeup and all of the sperms and all that... I think just knowing about EVERYTHING will help me out in the long run.

I have been trying to start my version of the girl diet... it is alot harder then I thought... just about everytthing has sodium in it! LOL Im not totally cutting out meat ( its too hard! LOL ) but I am cutting out red meat like steak & hamburg... basically im stickign to chicken and nothing else for meat. I have replaced my morning cup of coffee with a glass of cranberry juice and instead of eating a special k bar for breakfast I have been eating a yogurt... for snack instead of rice cakes I have replaced it with string cheese... and of course my evening glass of wine... is now a evening glass of milk..LOL... I also have my hubby cutting out soda's & beer and caffiene and he's drinking a toooon of cranberry juice as well. I think we have decieded to start TTC in December instead of of March ( yes we are impatient! ) Im very very lucky that hubby wants a girl really really bad too because he's willing to try anything! LOL... it also looks good that he's the only boy with 2 sisters and the rest of his family.... you guessed it GIRLS! ( my first 2 sons are with my first hubby - major boy heavy family there! LOL )............... well girlies I will try to update a bit more... but untill hubby gets home and we actually get trying... LOL i will update about once a week till then!

Rough Draft of My Plan

stricklyboys — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 17:01:00 GMT

Okay so please bear with me... this is JUST a rough draft of my operation Layla Plan..LOL.. I may add things... drop things as I come across new information... but at the moment this is it!

I have 6 months untill we are starting the TTC process so I have a bit... but im taking full advantage of that time to get my ph level down and to start my diet and do alot of research!!! And reading I have ordered like 5 new books that with 3 boys will probably take me 6 months to read anyways...LOL Im also charting my temp so I can get a better understanding of my body and when I ovulate.

Here's what Im going to start out with now ( 6 months & counting )

Both me and Nathan are going to change our diets.

Nathan is going to cut out caffiene, alcohol, salt and sodium/potassium
and increase calcuim and magnesium. He's also going to start drinking cranberry juice daily. my goal for him is to get his PH to about 7 or 7.5.

I am going to do the same cut out caffiene, alcohol, salt and sodium/potassium
and increase my calcuim and magnesium. also drinking a glass of cranberry juice a day. My goal is to get my PH to a 4 or 4.5.

I am also going a bit further on my part and eliminating all meat from my diet due to a recent study that showed the mothers who went meatless had a higher chance of concieving girls.

Starting in december ( 2 months and counting )

Nathan and I will continue with our diets mentioned above but at this time we will add our supplements. Im unsure of what supplements I will put nathan on right now.. I have to do more research for that! LOL

800 mg of calcuim
300 mg of magnesium
& vitamin D
Sudafed @ the time of BD to dry up CM
and im attempting the LP suppliment for TTC my baby girl.

Come Feburary/March when we begin to TTC

I will be attempting the shettles belief and BD day 4 & 3 before Ovulation.

Nathan will be taking cranberry suppliments and taking hot hot baths/showers.
Im going to have him " please himself " several times up till be dance so that it lowers his sperm count.

I will be taking sudafed to dry up my CM & taking the Lydia Pinkham supplement.
I will also douce with 50/50 lime & water before BD.
Then I will have nathan do his thing in a cup where I will add 3 to 4 drops lime... swirl let sit for a min and then put the mixture in me.

We will do the TBM on day 4 before O.

and we will actually BD on day 3 before O with the douche... but with shallow penetation and no O for me. and of course missionary style.

If this attempt fails we will check keep trying!

Oh ya I am throwing in a bit of the old wives tales... a wooden spoon, and a pink outfit will be placed under our bed... and I love pink anways ( fav color ) so I will be wearing pink alot and im going to paint my nails & toe nails pink too...

The start of my diet plan....

stricklyboys — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 13:43:00 GMT

Okay so I have been gathering information on my diet plan that I have high hopes for. Basically here is my outline:

Im cutting out caffiene, alcohol, salt and sodium/potassium
and increasing my calcuim and magnesium.

New studies have shown that women who go meatless are more apt to concieve a girl. So for the next 6 months up till I concieve Im cutting out meats....

For supplements im going to start taking..

800 mg of calcuim
300 mg of magnesium
& vitamin D
Sudafed @ the time of BD to dry up CM
and im attempting the LP suppliment for TTC my baby girl.

Im also going to replace my morning coffee with a morning cup of cranberry juice and my evening glass of wine with a evening glass of milk... LOL

This plan of mine is a healthier way of still getting the benefits of the girl diet without actually going on the girl diet completly... its just little steps to making a change... for example.. I highly doubt cutting out soda & frozen meals and replacing them with milk & pasta will do much harm.... anyways thats my general plan for my diet.. if it changes I will let you know!!

Got mY books!!!

stricklyboys — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:22:00 GMT

Go figure I recieved all 3 of my books yesterday..the same day! LOL

I kinda skimmed thru all 3 to figure out which one I would read first... the winner was... choose the sex of your baby : the shettles method. That one intrests me the most because its the method im using... and its geared more for at home techniques compared to the 2 others are more geared for high tech.... which I have decieded that im not going to go that route.

Sooooo I started the book last night.. and its some good reading... but honestly I think I will have to read the book like twice to absorb everything and fully understand it all... plus it truelly does not help to read it so late at night when im tired...LOL

Anyways next week im ordering yet 2 more books ( that should be good on books..LOL ).... both seem to be good ones and both seem to cover more of the at home methods.. I haven't even ordered them yet and im already anxious to get them! LOL... well thats my update so far for the day..... alot and alot of reading! hehe

New Day... Fresh Start

stricklyboys — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 09:58:00 GMT

Okay well after all my confusion yesterday I did ALOT of research and I really feel strongly that I should go the shettles method and TTC our baby girl before O. I feel really good with that method and pretty confident.
I should at least be getting chasing the gender dream in the mail today... Im soooo anxious to read thru it and then tomorrow I should be getting my other two books!!!!
I have some busy nights of reading ahead of me....LOL

Today is the first day of my no caffiene cut off....
im sure I will be grumpy the next few days...LOL the things we do for the girl of our dreams. It will bo soooo worth it in the end though!!!

Im not going to follow the girl diet to a tee... im going to take a few things off it here and there and work from that.... I need to do a bit more studying on it and then I will post my diet plan. What I will probably do is just avoid the " avoid " foods... and increase my calcium which I have already started doing by having 2 yogurts a day... but like I said I need to come up with a plan and then I will post it here.

Another thing I did to take a step forward was I bought a BBT yesterday!!! Ya I never thought I would be so excited to take my temp every day... LOL
For some reasont he whole taking your temp and charting it is kinda confusing me though?? So I have to study up on that a bit more I guess.

Well thats my update for the day girlies.. I'll update some more!

Soooo confused right now

stricklyboys — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 11:11:00 GMT

Okay so with TTC my baby girl im doing a whole bunch of reading & researching and then putting together my own little plan.... I pretty much have a idea of everything that I will b e doing EXCEPT im totally up in the air if I want t follow the shettles method and BD before I O.... or the 0+12 method and BD after I O.... this is the only thing thats leaving me stumped....

Im hoping to get some of my books thru the mail today and maybe just maybe I will come up with the method I want to follow....all the other " plans " I hope to do I feel really cofident about... I just wish I would feel cofident about about before or after...

Okay I had to get that off my chest....LOL. By the wy, later down the road I will post my plan... its still just the rough draft right now.

The beginning of the beginning.
