Well...

Just to keep up bumping this thread (its a major pain when it gets all backed up and doing all that search...LOL).

I am still waiting, AF was supposed to come today, I havent felt any symptoms of it coming, but I have not felt any symptoms of pregnancy either, and I refuse to buy another stupid pregnancy test until I am at least a week late.

This month, I have been taking chasteberry (from ovulation to period - ONLY), and it's said to extend your lutheal phase, and I have this feeling that it's just the chasteberry and not that I have a bun in the oven. Though, another part of me is hoping that it is...:)

I guess I'll just keep you guys posted...

Hugs to all and let's soak on all this baby dust...:)

Daniel

:energetic:

Dan, I'd have to say that I think there's no truth to this at all when you consider that it's only the man's sperm that determines the sex of the baby and doesn't really have much to do with ovulation. We ladies have all X eggs...you men have the X and Y sperm. X + X = girl or X + Y = boy. :thumbs:

that too is my understanding of things. :yes: but the coworker explained it as follows:

male generating sperm(mgs) dies sooner than female generating sperm(fgs). mgs is faster than fgs.

so, if sperm is lauched into tubes and ther e is no egg there, mgs dies off, whilst the fgs hangs around. if per chance the egg arrives beforethe fgs dies off, you will have a female baby. if, on the other hand sperm is launched whilst the egg is al ready there(ie, late in the ovulation stage) the mgs will get there first and produce a baby boy.

Sorry I don't know much about Chaste berry or those other things you mentioned. Last month AF decided to play games and come 4 days late, which never happens to me, and I guess sometimes that just happens. It is very annoying though, when you are late and still seeing negatives and really want to see a positive. Hope you get an answer soon!

:energetic:

Thanks. :thumbs: Yes I have read about that theory too, and what you said about the sperm is true. But there isn't enough evidence out there for it really working.

It’s ok, it’s just disappointing, but it shouldn’t be new, you know? I had a feeling it was the Chaste Berry pills, and not a baby on it’s way. The thing is that when you’re usually regular, one day seems like a HUGE thing. With all that went on this cycle, I probably should be grateful that it wasn’t a positive. Chaste Berry is suppose to regulate your periods, but it has also proven to improve fertility.

As you know I haven’t done the OPK thingie yet, I have been charting, though not my temps. Do you temp yourself during all cycle? I guess you should. I’ll start the heavy artillery this month. I don’t want to be obsessed by this though. I think that doesn’t help. We also starting eating healthier, and after my trip next week, we’ll start exercising.

My friend said, just diet, loose some weight, when you’re all dolled up, you’ll get pregs’, that’s how it works, when you start looking awesome and you definitely don’t want to gain weight, it’ll happen…LOL.

I guess it all goes back to something that takes your mind off it…:P

Good luck to all...
