The impatient woman's book says some research shows a certain diet helps to Increase your chances of getting a boy or girl. Also, apparently dtd a few days before ov increases the chances of having a boy, whilst dtd on the day of ov means there's a higher chance of a girl. Opposite to the shettles method!

Shoe gal, if you're not able to detect ov on the cheap sticks, the cb ones are really good. But perhaps you can improve your reading of the sticks. Did they not get darker towards a certain day, even if it never was as dark as the control line?

Hi everyone i hope someone is around soon, i caved in and POAS and think i can see a faint positive like (af not due for three more days) is there anyway i can upload a pic here so I can get an independant opinion?

BNmum · 20/07/2013 07:47

Yey! That's brilliant golden Grin, was it a first response test?

I think you can upload a photo then make your profile public so everyone can see it. Have you managed to add one

CristaBell · 20/07/2013 08:16

That's brilliant golden Smile I'm not sure how you load pictures on here but I have seen people do it.

It took two attemps yesterday but I eventually made an appointment for the 2nd of August that was the soonest I could get with the doctor I want to see but I'm calling them again on Wednesday to see if she's had any cancellations.

Hope you all have a good day. x

BNmum · 20/07/2013 08:39

2nd of August! Shock I can't believe you have to wait that long, it's crazy. I better call on Monday and get mine sorted asap.

CristaBell · 20/07/2013 08:53

I know Sad the first time I called the receptionist said there was no appointments until well into August. I could of had a sooner appointment but that would of been with a doctor I've never seen before. x

shoegal84 · 20/07/2013 09:04

That's madness cristabell. Least you've got one sorted though.

golden how exciting! I'm not going to test until next week I don't think, and still dtd just incase! x

Goldenhandshake · 20/07/2013 13:04

Ive uploaded a pic on my profile, let me know what you think?

Goldenhandshake · 20/07/2013 13:08

BN it was just a cheapie test as I had a few in the cupboard, we've been out today and picked up a clear blue digital to do in the morning though

BNmum · 20/07/2013 13:58

I can't see your profile golden have you made it public?

Goldenhandshake · 20/07/2013 17:41

It's public now BN

BNmum · 20/07/2013 18:33

Photo comes up tiny on my screen but that's irrelevant cos I can see 2 lines! Smile. Congratulations!

I bet you cant wait for tomorrow's fmu so you can dip the digital. Personally there's nothing better than seeing the words 'pregnant' on a digital test.

Goldenhandshake · 21/07/2013 07:11

I did the digital test this morning, it indicates 2-3 weeks since conception. Im still a bit shocked to be honest, i definitely did not think it would happen during our firat cycle of trying!
I've been on a pregnancy calculator tool that dates the pregnancy from first day of last period as a dr would and have been given 1st april as a due date. It feels crazy.

My fingers are crossed for more BFP's from this thread very soon! Xxx

BNmum · 21/07/2013 08:43

Congratulations! golden that's super news.

Ooh! I haven't been on an due date calculator, I'll have to have a go......

I hope you have a super day!

CristaBell · 21/07/2013 08:46

congratulations golden I'm really pleased for you. Thanks Brew x

CristaBell · 21/07/2013 08:48

yeah have a go bnmum mine is the 22/03. Smile x

Goldenhandshake · 21/07/2013 08:57

Thanks Cristabell! Mad to think soany f us from the same thread will be delivering out babies so closely together! BN let us know what date you get x

shoegal84 · 21/07/2013 17:12

omg huge congrats! so many bfps this week, really hope I can add to it. af due on Thurs so here's hoping she stays awful!

so excited for everyone. x

shoegal84 · 21/07/2013 17:13

stays away, not stays awful. stupid phone!

CristaBell · 21/07/2013 20:28

keep in my fingers crossed for you shoe x

BNmum · 21/07/2013 20:54

Fingers crossed shoe!

Just had a look on due date calc based on ovulation and it's saying 20/03.

If I go by date of last bleed it comes up as anything from 10-15/03, depending on what website I use. Some saying I'm as far along as 6weeks Shock. I think the doctors base their calcs on date of last bleed and a typical 28 day cycle, even though I know my cycle is nothing like this.

shoegal84 · 21/07/2013 21:18

Lots of March babies then!

How is everyone else? Anyone in 2ww?

shoegal84 · 22/07/2013 21:15

Just me :-(

BNmum · 22/07/2013 22:31

Surely not! This thread is very quiet, maybe everyone has hopped onto the July/August bus thread?

Goldenhandshake · 23/07/2013 06:43

I still check in here to see how everyone is getting on its gone very quiet though, international was quite regular on here maybe she has had her bfp?
