I had my period on 09/29/2003, me and my husband had intercouse exactely on 10/10/2003 cuz we tried to have a girl and then stopped having sex after. Since then, I feel tired, dizzy and have lower abdominal cramps. It doesn`t hurt or anything but I feel it. Could I be pregnant? When should I take the pregnancy test? Thanks for your help!

You might be pregnant, you might not. When is your next period due? Take a test to find out if you are or not, if you are late. I hope you get a girl! Good luck!

Dear kimy,

it has only been about 8 days since you had intercourse, so it's probably a little early to take a home test at the moment. If you need to find out now, you would need to make an appointment with your doctor and request a blood test. Blood tests are sensitive enough to pick up hcg levels this early. If you are pregnant I think you would be more likely to experience symptoms around 2 weeks or more after your period is due. Some women don't experience any symptoms until 3 months and every pregnancy is completely different from the first as you would already know from having 4 boys.

Good luck on trying for a little girl, hubby and I are really hoping for a little boy, as we already have a daughter, but after miscarrying 4 months ago we would be happy with a healthy baby of any sex.


Regards...

But on the 10th, he did ejaculated inside me.

Anyway, I will let you update when its positive. I hope I am pregnant

nb: I tried the shettlers method for the girl. They said it works 100%, we'll see.

Shettlers Method
Posted: 10-18-03 15:28pm

Hello kim

Frequency and timing of intercourse:

shettles says in order to increase the chances of having a girl, you should have sex everyday from the end of your period up to 2 1/2 to 3 days before ovulation. After this point, do not have unprotected sex until several days past ovulation.

Intercourse further away from ovulation favors the larger slower moving x (girl) sperm. The weaker y (boy) sperm will die more quickly in the more acidic preovulatory vaginal / cervical secretions and by the time of ovulation there will be a much larger concentration of x (girl) sperm available to fertilize the egg.

Sexual position:

shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a girl, shallow penetration from your partner, preferably with the missionary position, will deposit the sperm closer to the entrance to the vagina. This area is more acidic than closer to the cervix and acidity will work against the weaker "boy" sperm leaving more "girl" sperm available to fertilize your egg.

Sex and orgasms:

when trying to conceive a girl, shettles recommends that you don't orgasm during sex as the body produces substances after orgasm that makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, which favors the "boy" sperm.

The contractions which accompany an orgasm help move the sperm up and into the cervix, giving the "boy" sperm an extra chance at being available when your egg is available for fertilization.

Take care Smile
