How many members are swaying for boy?

[TTC5]

Or is there a specific thread where everyone hangs out already? :ttcboy:

[Dreamingforaboy]

Hi there TTC5, I'm here trying..swaying for a boy. Welcome to the forum!

[TTC5]

Hi there TTC5, I'm here trying..swaying for a boy. Welcome to the forum!

Hello :)
Have you started trying yet and what will/have you been doing?

[ELP]

Yes I'll be swaying for blue too, we do need a club threa don't we. Who's can think of a good name????

[atomic sagebrush]

If we do TTC again, I am swaying for a 5th boy.

[ELP]

I've just been thinking, would Blue horizon's club be a good name, I'm open to all suggestions. I think it would be good if it was something different from the IG clubs as this is a new place isn't it, or Blue In The Clear Horizon's we could shorten it to BITCH's:rofl:

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree::bigsmile:

[TTC5]

LOL bitches too funny :P

[LolaInLove]

Count me in the BITCHES club, we are ttc a boy this month! I'm CD2 today....this is our 8th month (although took last month off as had a chemical on month 6). Gearing up to give it a good shot this month. Feel like my life revolves around disgusting beverage concoctions, which DH gets a kick out of watching me drink. Good luck everyone!

[skrimpy]

We will sway for a boy, too, but not yet. Gotta get this baby born first :p When my cycles start back after this baby I will start with boy diet/supps since we are not sure when we will TTC and if we get another surprise I want the odds to be blue!

[TTC5]

Welcome Lola & Skrimpy :)

[Dreamingforaboy]

Hi TTC5, I am here too...but no longer swaying as I just got BFP! Will do my best to help you ladies out with any questions.

[TTC5]

Congratulations Dreaming! Tell me about your sway!!!

[ELP]

Hi TTC5, I am here too...but no longer swaying as I just got BFP! Will do my best to help you ladies out with any questions.:cheer: Congratulations on your bfp!!!!!!!!! Fingers X'ed for a lovely blue bump for you:HH:

[Dreamingforaboy]

Hi ladies, I have just posted my blue sway in the Sway Forum..hope it helps x

[TTC5]

Off to take a look =D

[ELP]

Morning all!

[TTC5]

LOL I am heading to bed now!

[ELP]

I'm in a bit of limbo atm ladies and just need to get in in one place. My cycle is muddled after the mmc, last weekend my opk's were very dark I'm assuming this was still left over hormone. Today the opk is quite light so things should be tracking normally again now. I feel as if I'm developing a yi which has been happening before each ovv for the last few cycles, so I'm wondering if things are starting up again. I've taken a robitussen just incase I do/dont attempt and to see if it makes a difference for me, but I don't knoe whether to attempt or not? Cons high progesterone from mmc, I have conceived 2 girls after mc/mmc before pros seasons still with me (just) Nov rather than xmas baby, diet's going good. Hmmmm???? What would you do??

[TTC5]

Hmm I think I would prob wait xox

[LolaInLove]

8LP, I would probably wait...I took a month off after my m/c. I was scared to get another girl, as DD1 came from ov right after a chemical too. Plus, I wanted to make sure my system had a month of normalcy and getting progesterone out. My doctor did recommend we wait a month. Plus, if you wait, you can take the supps straight through instread of having that 2ww off, all the better for the next month, kwim? Everyone's advice to me, because I had the same questions as you, was to wait but if I didn't care about the supposed increased odds (which they may not even be increased!) of having another girl, then just go for it. We decided what's a month....it will give me time to really get my sway in better order, plus I wanted to see what my cycle would do (it ended up being totally normal). GL and hope you are feeling well!

On a personal note, I had a weird +opk (well, it was about 98% +) at noon yesterday, then a way lighter negative one in the evening....it was only CD11, so I was kinda caught off guard as I never ovulate that early. We decided to go ahead and dtd last night, just in case I did drop a super early egg. Maybe if I would have taken opks at CD9 & 10, they would have shown + or at least a fade in, but like I said, I never ov that early, so I usually start them at CD11. Thanks for the curve ball, body! I'm going to keep taking them and if I get another +, we'll just dtd again.

Hope you gals are doing well!!!

[atomic sagebrush]

I would probably wait too. I am so sorry. :(

I am living proof that the seasons are not any kind of magic bullet, I have two December boys!

[ELP]

Thanks ladies, I think a wait it is!! Plus I've bought DH some multi-vit so it will give that time to do its stuff!!!!!

[LolaInLove]

8LP, you will feel good about attempting after waiting a month....I feel like I've got a pretty good sway under my belt with 6 weeks of straight diet and supps, kwim? XOXO

[TTC5]

Hi ladies not much happening here except heading to chemist today to get the rest of our supps! What do you ladies think are the Must Haves?

[atomic sagebrush]

Fatty acids (fish oil/flax/EPO), good multivitamin, extra Vit D, and sodium!

[ELP]

ikwym Lola, I will definately be more confidant with waiting a cycle, after all its 30 days isn't it, I can do that:pray::bigsmile: I will be pleased that DH would have had a multi-vit aswell, I know hat whatever effort I make it can all be undone if he's too run down. Roll on af!!

Atomic - have you any expereince of flaxseed? I was worried about it lengthenng my cycle if I ha too much, but I do have a jar of 1000mg capsules just sitting in the cupboard, should I start a 1 a day do you think?

[TTC5]

Cheers Atomic.. so the sodium you buy in a supplement too?

[atomic sagebrush]

No, just eat a lot of salty foods! That's the easiest part of swaying blue if you like salty snacks!

About flaxseed, I have EATEN a lot of flaxseed at times (trying to eat more healthfully and made flaxseed muffins and had two every day for a few month) and it never affected my cycle. All you can do is try it, it has the good Omega 3's in it.

[TTC5]

This morning I took: folic acid, fish oil, zinc and vit e... any good?
Will be getting more this pay day probably get some flax seed I think..

[LolaInLove]

8LP, DH and I both take 1000mg of flax in capsules, and it has never bothered my cycle. I am out of it, and was going to buy some more yesterday....I noticed this Omega 3 mix that has fish, flax, and olive oil and such in it which I may try next time (if there is a next time :pray: there is not!!!).

TTC5, are you taking a prenatal mutivitamin?

[atomic sagebrush]

Oooh, that sounds good Lola, do you recall the brand name??

I'm praying and crossing various digits that this is your month!

[LolaInLove]

THANKS, Atomic! I am hoping we caught that egg, if there was one! The triple omega I found was Nature Made (Target was where I saw it) but I am sure most lines carry one. I used to take one when I was pg with #2 as recommended by my doula, actually! Here is the one I will probably buy:


http://www.naturemade.com/Products/Supplements/Triple-Omega

[atomic sagebrush]

That looks great, I really like how it has the fatty acids in the proper proportions.

[ELP]

I started back up the flaxseed capsules, so I'll be adding them to my sway list, I'm sure I read somewhere that flaxseed was also linked to twins, but that might have been the whole seeds due to the lignans? rather than just the oil though, that would be a major surprise woulldn't it, probably a pair of pinkies for me !!

[TTC5]

No I don't take a pre natal as I thought someone told me on IG they sway pink???

[LolaInLove]

Yes, they do say on IG that prenatals sway pink, only because of the calcium and magnesium in them....but mine, Prenate DHA (they are prescription, only $8 a month on my insurance, though!), have about 1/6 of the calcium recommended for ttc pink. So I didn't take them for a while, but then I did again, as I just didn't think it was that big of a deal.

8LP, I've never heard of flaxseeds causing twins, that is interesting! I only take the oil capsules though.

[ELP]

Ladies, how long does it take the hpt to turn negative after mmc? I started spotting on 18th Feb. I'm wondering if I'm feeling a bit odd because af might be due, thanks x

[LolaInLove]

I think it depends on how far along you were, meaning how high your levels of hcg were, but I think you were early like me....it should be negative a month after, I'd think....did you take one this morning???

[atomic sagebrush]

No I don't take a pre natal as I thought someone told me on IG they sway pink???

That is so funny because everyone yelled at me on that site all the time for taking a prenatal because they sway blue. o.O

I think it's more that there are ingredients in prenatals like calcium/magnesium, B vitamins, and Vit. D that traditionally are believed to sway pink, while at the same time they have potassium, iron, Vit E and other stuff that is supposed to sway blue. So the proper advice would entail breaking up the ingredients in your prenatal and only taking the vitamins that are approved.

But since I think the science supports that more nutrients sway blue and less nutrients sway pink, I believe prenatals sway blue.

[atomic sagebrush]

Ladies, how long does it take the hpt to turn negative after mmc? I started spotting on 18th Feb. I'm wondering if I'm feeling a bit odd because af might be due, thanks x

It is different for everyone but you should start getting negatives soon or you may want to see a doctor. ((hugs)). I lost a twin with my 4th son, so it seemed like I had AF (or I would have thought I'd miscarried if I had known I was pg) but really I had a baby on board the entire time.

[ELP]

AS that must have been a real bittersweet surprise xx
When I tested the other day I used an afternoon pee, so I have one hpt left and will test it tomorrow morning, hopefully it will come back all clear ready for next time. I think I found the reason for the cramps and queasiness yesterday, we all have raging diarea! lol, and the kids are taking it turns to vomit d'oh:bigsmile: So it was the dreaded bug in the house as I realised late in the day as I sat on the loo for the 8th time:rofl: I wish af would hurry up so I know where I am, this is such a waiting game isn't it!

[babydes56]

Hi Ladies, i'm swaying blue too. Just finished my first round of clomid so waiting to see doc on Thurs for scan to see how my follicles are developing. I hope clomid helps me fall preg, i've been trying for a yr now & i'm getting old, haha! I'm hoping too that i dont have issues with cm

[LolaInLove]

Hey Babydes, how's the Clomid making you feel? Did your doc end up giving you estriadol or whatever the estrogen supp is called? I'd go with some preseed or ew for sure. I know this is going to work for you!!!!

8LP, SO sorry you all have the bug, there is nothing worse than watching your kids vomit. Hope you feel better soon and your tests are clear so you are ready to go again soon.

So, I had those weird pains last night (which was 5dpo) that I remember having around 6dpo the month I got pg, which got me a little excited, but still wondering if I actually O'ed or not. Still taking opks, will see what they do today. I have a feeling that I did, because I had all of the o symptoms that day, including the pains and increased sex drive. My cm was sorta non-existent this month, but we preseeded it.

[ELP]

Can't wait for you to begin testing Lola!! We'll be here cheering you on. I have a really good feeling that we are gonna have a string of bfp's soon and a very high success rate!! or maybe thats just the testosterone talking lol

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, girl! I hope you are right about a bfp parade, some of us are WAY due to get a good sticky bean! Speaking of testosterone, I noticed a hair on my chin the other day, and I got EXCITED about it...then I promptly plucked it out. Never had that before, so I am sure my testosterone is up.

[atomic sagebrush]

It was def. bittersweet because since I thought I had AF, I commenced swaying pink, with a strict diet and supplements for two weeks, then DTD when I thought I was due to ovulate and thought I got pregnant that month, not realizing that I had actually been pg for a month. We didn't realize till 20 weeks because the twin's placenta stayed behind and kept growing and it took some time till they noticed that I actually had two separate placentas, then we realized what had happened.

That's why I am so insistent that people test every month before they start their AF-O supplements even if they think they had AF!

I'm so sorry that it's taking a while to get an all clear, I hope AF arrives shortly so you'll know where you are in your cycle! Feel better soon!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Wow that is exciting Lola! I had a hair on my chin since I was about 18 that went away on the girl diet!! (granted I did still conceive an opposite but still!) So I think that's super encouraging.

I also had those cramps in early pg with DS 4...KFX!!!!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Good luck babydes! BE sure to try the Robitussin/Mucinex to help with your CM!!

[Vinter]

But since I think the science supports that more nutrients sway blue and less nutrients sway pink, I believe prenatals sway blue. I think you are right. I remember a study showed that more boys were born from mothers that took prenatals prior to getting pregnant. Makes sense.

[TTC5]

No ladies don't tell me I am going to start growing facial hair and developing a course deep voice LOL!!

[TTC5]

Pre natals - I think I do the opposite for me? I took them with my girls and had only girls.

[LolaInLove]

TTC5, you probably had girls because, like me, you starved yourself and worked out like a banshee! We were textbook girl swayers without knowing it.

[skrimpy]

I agree... TTC5 your prenatals were probably working hard to try and make up for your unintentional girl swaying :p

[ELP]

I have been counting the bee pollen and hweatgrass as my prenatal, do you think thats ok? I haven't any cash to be being any extra's atm.

I tried that last hpt test this morning and I'm pretty sure things are nearly gone, unfortunately the ink from the test line spread all down the sides of the test grr and stained the other line but that was after a while, straight away and after afew minutes there was practically nothing there. Last night it was my turn for the vomiting eurgh, I never thought I would get away from the toilet, all night long with my head over the pan, evil!!!!!!

[TTC5]

Oh no you poor thing! =( Hope you feel better soon xx

Wheatgrass, tell me more??

[ELP]

Thanks 5xx

Well wheatgrass is chock full of nutrients and chloryphyll which are all great boosters for overall health. http://www.amazinggrass.com/nutrient-information.html

It is also alkalizing!http://www.alkalinediethealthtips.com/
http://www.alkalinediethealthtips.com/wheatgrass-benefits.html
It tastes a bit strange but you do get a taste for it after a while lol!!
if your also interested in bee pollen then the below link is looong but really interesting!
http://www.alternativescentral.com/beepollen.htm

[babydes56]

Bee pollen did nothing for me & it was expensive. I guess it might work better for someone who has regular cycles unlike myself.

[LolaInLove]

8LP, as long as you are getting a good spread of vitamins from foods and taking a lot of folic acid, I don't think a prenatal is necessary. Really, you could take a regular multivitamin and then a folic acid pill and it would be nearly the same also. Prenatals might have a bit more of some vits in them, but I haven't really compared. Mine have DHA, which is why I like them, but you can get that from oils and I know Atomic takes a good supplement from Enfamil with DHA which is great for bf also. Anyway, that wheatgrass looks awesome! I may order some of that when I'm out of my green tincture. Royal jelly/bee pollen IS expensive...I took the real stuff one month, and I nearly gagged on how sweet it is. Now I have pills which I like better....I'd just take them if you can afford them. I think the tub of real royal jelly was less than $10 though, the pills were more like $20.
SOOOO sorry you are ill, hun! That sucks.....I hope you get over it soon!

[atomic sagebrush]

No ladies don't tell me I am going to start growing facial hair and developing a course deep voice LOL!!

I did have that one lonely facial hair but I have a funny girly voice like Minnie Mouse so there is no way of knowing LOL!!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Pre natals - I think I do the opposite for me? I took them with my girls and had only girls.

It isn't that they do the opposite, it's that you were getting less nutrients across the boards and/or your hormones were more girl-friendly and then whatever your husband brings to the table as well. The prenatals weren't enough to make up for it.

[atomic sagebrush]

I have been counting the bee pollen and hweatgrass as my prenatal, do you think thats ok? I haven't any cash to be being any extra's atm.

I tried that last hpt test this morning and I'm pretty sure things are nearly gone, unfortunately the ink from the test line spread all down the sides of the test grr and stained the other line but that was after a while, straight away and after afew minutes there was practically nothing there. Last night it was my turn for the vomiting eurgh, I never thought I would get away from the toilet, all night long with my head over the pan, evil!!!!!!

I'm SO SORRY! Ugh that is the worst. I'm glad you're not TTC right this minute.

I had almost the exact same experience with a pg test once, something must have gone wrong with the dye because the whole thing turned pink. I thought I was pg when I wasn't and boy it was embarrasing!!

I do think it's best to take the prenatals but I totally understand and the boy diet is quite nutritious as it is. The folic acid is the most important thing.

[atomic sagebrush]

Bee pollen did nothing for me & it was expensive. I guess it might work better for someone who has regular cycles unlike myself.

The bee pollen actually kind of scares me anyway because I worry that people can develop bee allergies from it and have to go everywhere armed with an epi-pen like we do. NOT fun.

[TTC5]

We have an epi pen too Atmoic for ant allergies!

[ELP]

The bee pollen actually kind of scares me anyway because I worry that people can develop bee allergies from it and have to go everywhere armed with an epi-pen like we do. NOT fun.

Wow!! I did not know this! That's the last thing I need atm. I wonder if I should stop taking it??? But I do definately feel the benefits from it??? Hmm, this is gonna be a tricky one.

[LolaInLove]

Maybe people who are more succeptible to food allergies shouldn't take it? I am allergic to absolutely nothing.....not even pollen bothers me, and I do eat honey a lot. Did you develop a bee allergy, Atomic? Or one of your boys? Maybe it's not a good idea for bfing? That is very interesting.

[atomic sagebrush]

We have an epi pen too Atmoic for ant allergies!

Then I would not take RJ or BP.

I'm sorry to sound like an alarmist but after going through a couple of very scary reactions with my husband and one of my sons, I don't want anyone to have to go through that!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Wow!! I did not know this! That's the last thing I need atm. I wonder if I should stop taking it??? But I do definately feel the benefits from it??? Hmm, this is gonna be a tricky one.

If you are not allergic to bees and no one in your family is allergic to bees, then it's probably fine to take.

[atomic sagebrush]

I would say that if you are allergic to any insects like yellow jackets or ants, I would not take it. And if anyone in your household is allergic to bees I wouldn't even have it in the house. My husband and father in law are both highly allergic to yellow jackets but they were stung several times before the reactions started. I just worry that people could be priming their bodies for a fatal allergic reaction, even if you never have a reaction to the RJ/BP combo.

My 2nd son had an anaphylactic reaction to pine nuts this summer and had to be hospitalized overnight. He had eaten them 20 or 30 times previously with no reaction at all. It takes a certain amount of exposure before you start to react to allergens.

Probably not a good idea while breastfeeding for that very reason.

[LolaInLove]

OMG Atomic, how scary for you to see your son (and husband) have reactions! Pine nuts are a bad one, I know several people with allergies to nuts. My sister is allergic to nuts and shellfish, and my mom is very allergic to peanuts, so I didn't eat peanut butter at all while pg or bf my girls, and didn't introduce it until they were well over a year old, but they are fine.

[ELP]

I had a hunt around and found a comment on ehow I think? that said something very similar, that people can develop allergic reaction's to anything! That's quite scary isn't it! And strangely, I think I mentioned on a post somewhere else on the forum but I cannot eat eggs, I used to be able to eat eggs, but, I ate so many of them during a period of my life, maybe 2 a day for a month, and became intolerant of them! So maybe I'm one of those developers?? I think..... I'm gonna finish off what I have, maybe a few weeks supply and then just stick to the wheatgrass and hopefully cashflow will be improvong and I can hunt down a reasonable multi-vit!! or a bfp lol.

[TTC5]

Then I would not take RJ or BP.

I'm sorry to sound like an alarmist but after going through a couple of very scary reactions with my husband and one of my sons, I don't want anyone to have to go through that!!

I agree fully, I didn't even think twice when I saw this for swaying boy!

Yes this happened to my daughter. She sat on a while nest of ants when she was 5 and had a nasty reaction (not anaphylaxic) a year later got bitten by one single ant and was rushed to hospital. Paramedics had to stop on the way to revive her, her heart stopped =( she was very very lucky.

[LolaInLove]

OMG, TTC5 how horrifying! Poor thing!

[3Pink1Blue]

omg ttc5, so scary! Glad she's ok and you know what to avoid, this could happen over and over had you not known what bit her.

[TTC5]

Worst moment of my life for sure!

On another note, FF picked up cross hairs this morning CD 14! Second day of + opk's.

[ELP]

That sounds really frightening about your daughter ttc5! I'm so glad it turned out well. I never even knew that people could be allergic to ants!.

But great news on the crosshairs!! Does that mean your coming upto ovulate? Will you be attempting or just tsaking notes for a later attempt??

[ELP]

On a similar note I just want to have a quick vent if you don't mind:( Wher is my ov?? or af?? or anything?? I feel like I'm on pause atm. I think I started the m/c bleed on the 18th of Feb and we're now 12th March, surely something should be happening soon? Does anyone know the timescale on these things or is it literally different every time? Sorry for going on but before the bfp my only full cycle was 57 days and the bfp ov was on about day 21 so my cycles seem to be getting really long anyway, could this be a sign of deterioraton with my system maybe??? I will be 35 in Oct.

I think it's just one of those things that happens. It is different for everyone every time.

You can start getting longer cycles as you get older but you are still YOUNG! I promise you that the odds are excellent that you can get pregnant over 35 easily and with a boy or a girl! Doctors make it sound like a switch gets flipped the second you turn 35 and your eggs turn to dust and you're no longer fertile but that isn't the case. Most people can conceive over the age of 35. Your body has no clue how old you are!

Anyway I'm sorry you're in limbo for now and I"m KFX that things work themselves out very soon.

[TTC5]

8lp taking notes for now yep... we ttc in 3 months!!
Also My Mum & Grandma have both conceived at 43/44 years young ;)

[3Pink1Blue]

I'm here and swaying my big blue butt off :bigsmile:

[TTC5]

Yayy welcome over Jen!!!! =D

[LolaInLove]

8LP, sorry your cycle is so nuts! It can take some time to get back to normal. Are you taking opks or anything? Temping?

[LolaInLove]

Another thought, 8LP....and I hope Atomic will chime in on whether this is a good idea or not as I know it typically sways pink: vitex? Supposed to help regulate your cycle. May not be a good idea though.....

[atomic sagebrush]

Vitex can help regulate your cycle for sure. It does seem to sway pink but I'm living proof you can def. conceive a boy while taking it.

[Chunksta]

I'm eating calcium and dairy and slowly but steadily building muscle. I started DH on his over 50's multi-vit and he has come up with a big spot on his chin lol!! Do you think it's a good sign for him, its not a good look but if it means good things then I can live with it:bigsmile:

[atomic sagebrush]

It's awesome how much blue we have happening!!

[Hobbermittens]

It's awesome how much blue we have happening!!

I agree! I can't wait to start!!

[TTC5]

With my girls I had LOTS of dairy in all shape and form lol.. cheese, sour cream, icecream, chocolate you name it! Since DD4 was diagnosed at dairy intolerant (not lactose intolerant) so now all I have is a bit of milk (currently trying almond milk) in my morning and evening bowl of cereal!
I think dairy played a big factor for me with my girls? We will see though hey..
I am having 3 bananas a day, potato each day, salted foods and serve of potato each day. Was having meat 2 x daily (I rarely ate meat either with the girls!) but had a break last night lol..

[Chunksta]

I'm not much dairy ill have milk in my morning coffee and not much cheese and no yogurt! I finally got a + OPK today CD 16 thou =( but i will try. Tonight is a full moon ( in Aus) and ive heard thats good for swaying blue?? and also ( sorry not really 100% on this) but DTD 12.24 hours after a + OPK and i noramlly get O pain so did it when i feel them too?

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, chicas! I know, it IS dark for 10dpo, my DH even said that. I was expecting a squinter if anything. And to be honest, I did that with afternoon pee on Saturday, because I had to go to a function that night and kinda wanted to clear myself for a glass of wine or two....I was totally expecting a bfn because, like I said before, I really didn't feel pg at all. But boy, am I starting to now. My face has totally broken out, boobs went from 0-60 in like a day, and I have this heavy abdomen feeling like I always do, all starting on 11dpo. Maybe it's all in my head.

[atomic sagebrush]

WWWAAAAHHooooooooooo!

[aabroo]

Congratulations sweetie!I hope its catching!

[LolaInLove]

Hi everyone! I am swaying for boy again! Some of you know me already from the other site. I had been trying for about 6 months. I got my BFP but unfortunately had a m/c at 7 weeks. So we decided to try again.

ELP when did you ovulate after m/c? I am going to skip this cycle, but planing on the next one.

[aabroo]

OMG! It is catching,i just got a BFP!I tested at 12 dpo and it was negative and AF came yesterday but it was only a little bit of brown discharge(sorry tmi)and i have been having cramps for so many days,so today at 15 dpo i did another test and it was positive.

[lightofmylife]

:agree: Don't believe in OWT, they will make you crazy! :wink:

[ELP]

ELP when did you ovulate after m/c? I am going to skip this cycle, but planing on the next one.
Sorry about the m/c MFC it's rotten isn't it:( I've just had my 1st +opk today! I started the m/c spotting on 18th Feb so it has been 4 wweks 4/5 days til 1st ov. I hope your comes sooner xx

[ELP]

OMG! It is catching,i just got a BFP!I tested at 12 dpo and it was negative and AF came yesterday but it was only a little bit of brown discharge(sorry tmi)and i have been having cramps for so many days,so today at 15 dpo i did another test and it was positive.

I definately is catching!!! Massive congatulations to you too Aabroo xxx This is going to be such a lucky thread Iknow it!!

[ELP]

:agree: Don't believe in OWT, they will make you crazy! :wink:

Definately:agree: But can't wait to see all the nub shots in a few weeks!! Now that will be so exciting!

afm, I just got my +opk!! We dtd last night and that will be it, just hoping for a sticky, don't actually mind which as really I know I should have waited, so 2ww for me!

[LolaInLove]

So, tell me what you guys think, and honestly.....I am, of course, having my m/c freak out. So, I'm 13dpo, I took another frer this morning, and as you can see from the pic, it is darker than the ones at 10 and 11dpo. So, that is a good thing, I guess. I had a temp drop this morning, but I've only been temping for a handful of days, so that may be useless info, but maybe good info. AND I had a tinge of pink on the tp yesterday, and then a tinge of brown last night. This morning, as I was walking up the stairs to work, I almost cried because I felt a woosh of wet in my panties, and I was sure it was blood. I go to the bathroom, and it was just light brown water? Like the amount you pee when you sneeze (after having had vag births, that is!), but with a very light brown tint. So odd. And I keep having these "burning" cramps, not painful, but like my uterus is burning, I don't know if that makes sense.

I'm not sure if I should assume I will lose this one, or if this is kinda normal, or if I should go get some betas done, or what! Anyone have any advice? 96

[ELP]

The brown spotting is nothing to worry about, just old blood coming away, I've had this with succesful pregnancies so don't worry! The burning (I get this too lol) imo is the usterus stretching and becoming attached too, if that makes sense. Sadly I'm sure you remember how much came away with your m/c, well it shows how fast whats needed grows and so it makes sense that it will cause some tingling right!! Just relax, no arguing with anyone irl your body doesn't need the stress and enjoy;) Like we keep saying this is the lucky thread

[LolaInLove]

THANK YOU ELP for the reassuring words....should I worry about the temp dip? I wish I didn't start temping again now. Maybe it's normal? I am trying to be as zen as I can....I will just be so upset if I have another one, I won't know what's up with me not being able to get a bean to stick!

[ELP]

I don't know anything about temps I'm afraid but I'm sure somebody can answer pretty soon :)

[boyjoy]

Hey Blue Crew, I am praying for a boy, too. I am 7 weeks pg now. Glad to find here to chat, i was like lost in the forum..

Big Congrats Lola and Aabbroo, hope you both have healthy happy baby boys...

(I am OTW on IG)

[aabroo]

Thank you ELP and Boyjoy!

[Zivic-Bubac]

Lola, are you taking progesterone?
If yes, there is nothing to worry about, prog will keep the baby safe:agree:
Burning sensation is normal, you may even feel sharp pains from time to time ( happened to me when pg with both DDs)

[My Fabulous Children]

Sorry about the m/c MFC it's rotten isn't it:( I've just had my 1st +opk today! I started the m/c spotting on 18th Feb so it has been 4 wweks 4/5 days til 1st ov. I hope your comes sooner xx

Oh wow, I have to wait n wait again, I'm so tired of waiting ..and with longer cycles!!! I have had light bleeding for 12 days and now it has completely stopped so I am watching signs.

Are you going to wait until the next cycle? Because I think the cycle after m/c does sway pink.

[My Fabulous Children]

Definately:agree: But can't wait to see all the nub shots in a few weeks!! Now that will be so exciting!

afm, I just got my +opk!! We dtd last night and that will be it, just hoping for a sticky, don't actually mind which as really I know I should have waited, so 2ww for me!

I hope you get your BFP really soon..good luck.

[Zivic-Bubac]

Thanks TTC5

Congrats Aabroo, I've read this several times in the other site late BFP or early got nothing to do with gender.

This exactly. It just shows a rise of your HCG.

[My Fabulous Children]

Lola I agree with ladies here, relax and think positive I know it's easy to say, but hard to do I understand how you feel. Your tests are getting darker that has to be a good sign. Lets wait and see what your temp does tomorrow.

[atomic sagebrush]

Prayers for all! (((hugs))) Lola I hope all is well.

[LolaInLove]

Well, it's afternoon time and no more spotting and all feels fine.....I even felt like I'm pg a bit, as I did get woozy at the gaping wound on the elevator repairman's head just now, which is odd for me. I keep having those "burning" sensations on and off, but they are not crampy like the pre-m/c ones. I think I'm just paranoid. I keep thinking that if I have another one, I may not want to ttc anymore....

[LolaInLove]

Lola, are you taking progesterone?
If yes, there is nothing to worry about, prog will keep the baby safe:agree:
Burning sensation is normal, you may even feel sharp pains from time to time ( happened to me when pg with both DDs)

THANKS ZB, yes I am taking progesterone....so hopefully all will be ok.

Thanks everyone for your reassuring words, I am just being a baby.

[My Fabulous Children]

I really think everything is ok and I am so glad to hear your spotting has stopped. I hope everything continue going good. :HH: xxx

[LolaInLove]

I really think everything is ok and I am so glad to hear your spotting has stopped. I hope everything continue going good. :HH: xxx

THANK YOU!!! :kiss:

[tropicgal]

THANKS ZB, yes I am taking progesterone....so hopefully all will be ok.

Thanks everyone for your reassuring words, I am just being a baby.

Ohhh Lola, you are not being a baby!! It is only natural to feel anxious over the well being of your little bean! That's the motherly instict in you kicking in! FX for you sweetie.

[boyjoy]

Lola, so happy that spotting stopped. You can be a baby as much as you want, you deserve it :) Be positive and enjoy your pg.
I ll start to enjoy it as soon as i am done with the morning sickness.

[atomic sagebrush]

I am so happy things seem ok now! I am so excited for you and I hope and pray that things continue onwards from here!

FWIW I had tons of spotting with my last pg and it was because I had placenta previa (which is more common in boy pregnancies)! Not that I would wish that on my worst enemy LOL. But I have my little guy here with me safe and sound.

[LolaInLove]

Thanks, everyone! I am feeling much better today....less anxiety for sure about m/c. Still no more spotting, and I've had some definite pg symptoms, like sore boobs and a bit woozy here and there, feeling a lot of little pangs and things going on down there....all making me think this bean is burrowing in nicely. We'll see!!!!!!!

[TTC5]

Lola I always spot heaps at this stage too! I think it all points to a great implantation if you ask me!

[3Pink1Blue]

I am just being a baby.

Oh Lola dear, you are so not being a baby. It's a real fear and unfortunately a very recent reality for you. Freak away, we're here for you. I'm already apologizing to dh and my bff for how many times a day they're going to need to talk me down after my bfp lol

[ELP]

Ooo Lola you got a ticker!!!!! That just looks brilliant at the bottom doesn't it! Can't wait to be able to add my own one fingers x'ed.

Jen, if we both got a bfp, what would our due date be? Do you know?

[LolaInLove]

LOL I love that ticker with the little developing baby pic on it! I always wanted to have one back in the IG days. It's like a graduation cap or something.

I am SOOOOOO excited for you gals, praying that the bfp train is still rolling round here!!!!

[3Pink1Blue]

ELP- I'd be due 12/9, you?

[ELP]

ELP- I'd be due 12/9, you?I'd guess about the same:) If we're lucky that will still leave enough time to get ready for xmas lol!!

[atomic sagebrush]

That is a lucky day, that is my eldest son's birthday!!

[ELP]

That is a lucky day, that is my eldest son's birthday!!You see! Another lucky omen on the lucky thread;)

[3Pink1Blue]

I'd guess about the same:) If we're lucky that will still leave enough time to get ready for xmas lol!!

I'll be ready way before the birth. My second was a thanksgiving baby and I swear Christmas came ten minutes later. I was out grabbing gifts for family I'd forgotten about on xmas eve. I won't do that again, me and my big belly will be planted on the couch shopping online lol

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi All,

Lola' Love the new ticker!!

ELP and Jen' So exciting!! I hope you both get our BFP's :luck: :luck:

[LolaInLove]

AMEN to some online holiday shopping!!!!! I have to do that as my company tours and I work non-stop from Nov. 1- right before Christmas (ballet company, you guys may remember). I am actually so loving that I will be out on maternity leave during that mayhem this season!

[ELP]

Just giving this a quick bump for any new blue swayers out there:wave: It seems everybody moved over to the 2ww together which was nice:happy: Hope to see some new ladies in here soon!!!

[daisyfay311]

:wave: Hi, I'm swaying blue too! My name's Tiffany and DH and I have a two and a half year old little girl. I'm moving from the research phase into the practice phase, hoping to make an attempt in June. I read that summer's not the best time to sway blue but I conceived dd in January so I'm just going to do diet/supplements, etc. and hope for the best. I'm a teacher so timing makes a big difference for me in terms of maternity leave.

I have a lot to learn (and change, sooooo obvious why I had a girl the first time! and I _desperately_ wanted a girl then too so it's all good but I've got to make some changes to get a boy) and I'm excited about finding this site!

[atomic sagebrush]

Daisy, I just wanted to let you know that summer may be a better time to sway blue than the traditional swaying info suggests.

In short, af for me and back more determined!! Welcome to all new ladies and GL to all:luck: I'm gonna skip this cycle and concentrate on eating and exercise and then have a good go the cycle after:agree: Just need to hunt atomic down with a few questions:wink::bigsmile:

Lucky M&M for everyone xxx

[atomic sagebrush]

That happened to me the other day and the backspace was broken! I almost screamed! Had to buy a new keyboard.

Good luck all!

[LolaInLove]

Oh, sorry ELP! But that's the spirit, gear up for a better month and go for it. Trust me, I had my bummer period after 4 bfn months in a row (and I went into ttc/swaying with the attitude that I would be pg the first month). Then, I dropped the IG style of swaying and just ate a lot and got pg, then I lost it, but then pg again, so you girls know it can be a longer road sometimes. Just keep your chin up....I got rejuventated about swaying with this site, and I'm so glad I did because now I feel like I have a good shot at this bub being a boy, as opposed to if I hadn't and I would be thinking it was a girl again. XOXO

[TTC5]

I feel the same Lola xx

[LolaInLove]

Well, I am the poster child for ttc a while....going through ups and down with it, and it finally paying off. I mean, for the most part, there is no reason to believe that all of us will be pg within the next 12 months....sometimes it just takes a while and especially when you are altering your body with swaying. Just trying to wave my pom-poms as much as possible for you gals!

[JustKim]

Hello all! I'm doing a slight sway for a boy. I'm pretty much adding everything into my diet that I don't normally eat. :) I'm currently on CD12 & waiting impatiently for a +OPK.

Hi there! Welcome and best of luck to you!

Thank you!

While I'm here, has anyone had stress cause them to have delayed ovulation? I'm always thinking about getting my +OPK and I'm worried it'll have an effect on my body.

[My Fabulous Children]

Hey! So far, so good! I'm still pg, so that is a positive thing. No m/s yet either! How are you doing?

So glad to hear everything is going well. I'm fine .. still waiting to O, but nothing yet!

Thank you!

While I'm here, has anyone had stress cause them to have delayed ovulation? I'm always thinking about getting my +OPK and I'm worried it'll have an effect on my body.

YES that's ME! Stress can affect your cycle. It can delay your ovulation. I just can't stop stressing about all the ttc stuff is very hard.

[ELP]

ELP' I'm so sorry Hun ((HUGS)).

Welcome Kim and good luck!Thanks MFC:HH: But I'm positive, sooo positive about giving the TW a real good shot!! I keep seeing these ladies with their baby boys and I'm thinking to myself 'I can do that!!' Thinking positive things for for all blue swayers this year:agree:

[LolaInLove]

Thank you!

While I'm here, has anyone had stress cause them to have delayed ovulation? I'm always thinking about getting my +OPK and I'm worried it'll have an effect on my body.

YES! I think stress and the swaying (essentially the changes we are making with our bodies) can affect what used to be a regular O time of month and make it come late or early. The more you experiment with supplements and see what works for you, the more you will find what makes it come early or late. Which, none of that matters as long as you are tracking it with opks and are in fact ovulating!

[Chunksta]

Hi everyone, welcome Justkim!

Stress can delay O a bit as can some supplements but it shouldn't affect your sway either way.

Hey Hpjagged

Girls, don't even get me started on the weight thing. I cried this morning as I was looking in the mirror. 8 months of the boy diet packed 28 lbs on me, and I now have a lovely spider vein across my thigh to show for it also. My only thought was, if this baby is not a boy, I'm gonna be hella mad. But, I know that is not a good attitude.

So, after that nice rant, I will say hello to the newbies! Welcome, and don't be afraid, I have pg hormones right now, of course.

Ladies, I'm slacking on the muscle building. I just feel like a lazy lump! When I geton here it motivates me to go and do something but I can't type and lift at the same time lol, so here I sit getting fatter:oops:

I'll say it again, you're my lost twin:rofl:

[Flava]

Im here but no ttc yet...so good luck to all!:luck:

Hello! We are going to be trying for a boy I'm researching everything and boy is it a lot of work!! I'm going to start taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid, I can't stand eating bananas lol. Don't partially want to put on any weight and I have literally no time to excersise so I'm screwed lol!
Hubby has been reading the sides of all the foods he's eating for high salt haha! :wave:

Can you find 10 minutes to lift weights??? Even that short a time will help.

Count me in for being pissed for Lola if she doesn't have a boy :-) But luckily, SHE WILL so we're all going to be celebrating and having virtual blue baby showers for all our ladies over the next several months!

Hi! me too! im due in 4 weeks. my plan is to do the french gender diet for july august and then follow the ig diet for the last few weeks before attempt in september/october. We are at our cottage for the summer and i will probably have glass of wine here and there over the summer and the french gender diet allows it. I wonder what the amount is allowed? like are we allowed a glass a day?

Hi ! I will start in Oct too! (well if..) would be nice to hang out in a cottage until LOL. Anyway red wine is good for you so 1 glass/day is fine for sure.

[ELP]

Hiya Flava and bib, welcome to the luckiest blue club going!! I'm sure there was something in red wine that actually swayed blue, I'm sure I read a post or a link on here somewhere?? Atomic might know what I'm talking about of she pops in. I think it was a glass a day, it contains ??? which helps with ??? aargh, what was it???

[ELP]

I'm thinking that Lola has for sure a little guy in there, won't that be so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[believinginblue]

i know wine has potassium. its just a matter of not having too much cause it also makes you acidic I think!

[ELP]

found the wine thread!

It increases sexual desire and lubrication, but may lower testosterone. So maybe good for the night of dtd, that way it is too late for an effect on testosterone but will help the attempt maybe.

Aw, thanks, ELP!!!!! It would indeed be exciting!
