IUD Removal & Tips 2 Conceive Girls (Warning could be TMI_

Okay, so on 1/15, I had my IUD (Mirena) removed. While I had it in, I gained over 30 pounds that I just couldn't get off, no matter what diet I went on, and I tried damn near everything!!! I also lost my libido/sex drive. I have also felt really "clouded". Since I have taken out, even through my current visit with AF, I can't help but jump my hubby's bones and do the BD everyday. I have also lost 7 lbs in less than a week, not changing my diet at all!!!! I'm also so much happier and loving. Has anyone else had this same situation??? I want to know what other good effects I can expect to get from getting my IUD out. I am loving this and don't think I'll have it put back in after I have another baby b/c i don't know if this is worth it.
Also, I want to try to conceive a girl, any ideas on good methods???

Okay, A little background, I recently had my 2nd Mirena removal 1/21/12. My first one I had put in after having my 3rd child Jan 2003 and removed in Jan 2008 (no issues with removal, spotted a little but nothing major), I had a little weight gain after the 4th year of having it, but lost it all by the time I had it removed, I had no periods. No other problems what so ever. I had my second fitted in Feb 2008, Again no problems, until the 3rd, then depression, anxiety, and major weight gain occurred, 30+ pounds, this is the most i have ever weighed even during my pregnancies!! Again No periods! Removal of the second wasn't bad, a little uncomfortable and a small pinch, but went fine. On the way home I started having extremely BAD cramps. Now 3 days later, I'm STILL having cramps. No spotting, no bleeding, nothing, just very painful cramping. I have been peeing a lot, still bloated, but no bowel movement since removal either. The only thing the gynecologist told me was the hormone should be out of my system in 72 hours. I dont know what to do, I just want things to go back to normal. Has anyone else had these problems? Anything would be of help...

Hello,
For conception, try having intercourse every month around your ovulation days as it is the best time for conceiving. Ovulation is the release of a single, mature egg from a follicle that developed in the ovary. It usually occurs regularly, around day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle. The best timing of intercourse in order to conceive is day 10, 12, 14 and 16 (in case of late ovulation) of a 28 day cycle. After intercourse, do not wash immediately and keep on lying for some time. You can also keep a pillow under your buttocks.
Zygote is formed after fertilization of the XX(chromosomes from females) and XY(chromosome from males). A girl is denoted XX and a boy XY.
Each of them has a chance to react with the other in their counterpart.So after mating there are 4 probabilities- XX XX XY XY i.e. 50% chance of having girl and 50% chance of having a boy.So there is no method proven as such in medicine which can guarantee a female child.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
