lore are you a girl or a surprise?

Jojobump1986 · 16/01/2013 13:47

Each breast 10 times per doughnut. 1 doughnut a day until you get your BFP. Of course you need to eat the doughnut - it provides the energy for growth! You should put a tissue over yourself while doing it to avoid sugar-based itching. It's also a good idea to keep dtd - might as well cover all bases but I'm pretty sure that one's just a rumour made up by men! Wink

For the record, my migraines aren't usually fun! & I wouldn't exactly say I was 'thinking' last night - at one point I insisted my DH had taken a towel for washing... while it was still wrapped around me! Hmm

Thundercatsarego · 16/01/2013 13:47

pretty sure she's a girl seeing as she's pregnant...

kittykatsforever · 16/01/2013 13:53

Lmoa GrinGrin

Jojobump1986 · 16/01/2013 13:53

Grin You beat me to it! I'm in a silly mood, has anyone noticed?!

Thundercatsarego · 16/01/2013 13:59

1 doughnut per day before bfp comes? so if it takes a minimum of three cycles like the first time, I will have consumed 90 doughnuts by end March (assuming I'd started in Jan).

I forsee two potential problems with this: 1) money and 2) persuading the OH to dtd with that weight gain

But I'll think positive- and will give it a try over the next few days as pma dictates I'll get my bfp soon!

Jojobump1986 · 16/01/2013 14:08

You realise that if you do get a BFP I'll forever be claiming it as an example of how DC (doughnut conception) really does work! Grin

Jojobump1986 · 16/01/2013 14:13

I wonder if I could start an urban myth with this - like 'you can't get pregnant the first time you dtd' it could be 'if you beat your breasts with a doughnut you will get pregnant'! Grin It wouldn't be my first urban myth. A friend & I convinced everyone in our primary school that a corridor was haunted & we could see red glowing eyes... 7 years later my little sister came home from school complaining about glowing eyes in the corridor! Grin I must ask my niece if the rumours are still going 17 years on!

Lorelei353 · 16/01/2013 14:40

I'm a girl, I'm a girl!

As for the baby, I'm a surprise - although I haven't had my scan yet anyway (next Tues) so wouldn't know. Am not going to find out. What do my cravings indicate to you Frus?

Good news all round on the doughnut front. According to today's Stylist magazine 2013 is the year of the gourmet doughnut. Forget posh burgers and hotdogs with champagne - this year it's about doughnuts.

Mmmm, cream and jam doughnuts....

Jojobump1986 · 16/01/2013 14:42

There was me thinking this was the year of the horse-burger! Wink

Lorelei353 · 16/01/2013 14:47

Ha ha. Wouldn't put me off a burger jojo Hmm

bringonthetrumpets · 16/01/2013 15:12

Omg, I'm laughing so hard over here! Breast pounding by doughnuts can ensure a conception. Yeah I definitely think that women will buy it.

Scan tomorrow! So excited!

kittykatsforever · 16/01/2013 15:20

Lor I think your cravings are girl, I have loved loved burgers and chocolate this pregnancy I always love these things but that's neither here nor there!
I have just bought a box of Krispy kremes for work as was bday cakes, omg how I want to eat every last one!!!
Oh so exciting bring, make sure you update us news ASAP!!

Lorelei353 · 16/01/2013 15:23

Interesting kitty Hmm

Good luck tomorrow bring. Can't wait for mine. Bring us all your news!

kittykatsforever · 16/01/2013 15:52

If it helps my fondness has been McDonald's and snickers although wouldn't turn anything down! With dd1 also loved fanta or fizzy orange
What is your feeling as apparently women's intuition is right 70% of time!

Lorelei353 · 16/01/2013 16:22

I had some McDonalds chips a few weeks ago and they made me happier than anything I can remember in a long time. I could've cried!

I have an inkling it might be a girl but that's only really come on in the last week or so. Up until then I didn't feel strongly either way. I don't know if I'm just thinking girl because I have a niece so when I imagine having kids, my mental picture is my sister with her little girl. Dh thinks it's a girl too.

kittykatsforever · 16/01/2013 16:51

How can you resist finding out!!! Lol
I get so impatient even for other people lol
McDonald's defo == girl Wink

FrustratedSycamoreIsNesting · 16/01/2013 17:09

I am glad you're a girl lore that straightens a few things out Wink I reckon it's a girl for you. Simply based on what you're eating/craving/avoiding. no facts there whatsoever

FrustratedSycamoreIsNesting · 16/01/2013 17:19

*disclaimer - could also be a boy. (Studies show it could be a 50/50 chance) Wink

Thundercatsarego · 16/01/2013 17:21

Grin at frus

Am now craving chips or should I say fries? but also feeling a bit acidy....another sure fire symptom of course

I don't think I have a 50:50 chance re boy or girl, which takes some of the fun out of it really....

Lorelei353 · 16/01/2013 17:45

Right. Girl it is (for me and babs). Grin

FrustratedSycamoreIsNesting · 16/01/2013 18:59

Right thunder new task (after throwing donuts at your boobs) go outside for 2 minutes then let us know if your entire boobs go rock hard in the cold.

Does anyone else get this or is it just me?

Thundercatsarego · 16/01/2013 19:00

I never got this before...are you sure I have to do it!? I am currently sitting on the back of the sofa with my back on the hot radiator! Perhaps I could report back after my dog walk in the morning?

FrustratedSycamoreIsNesting · 16/01/2013 19:24

But I need to know if its just me. Grin sure it will be more scientific if you do it after sitting somewhere so warm, plus you'll have lovely warmness to go back to

Thundercatsarego · 16/01/2013 19:37

So this evening rather than the morning? I can't believe I'm even entertaining this idea
