Anyone swaying april/may?

[DoulaMama]

Hello Everyone! I won't be online much the next few weeks as we're on holiday right now:) Just wanted to wish everyone luck and I hope to see a bunch of BFP'S when I get back!!

[Chunky Monkey]

I swayed this month, but not full out. I did what I felt I could do and I am in the 2WW now :) I will start testing on Thursday! I am praying for some girly BFPs this month. Question for everyone: Do you plan to have a 12-13 week sono or early blood serum test done? Do you plan to find out the sex at 18-20 weeks or wait until the birthday? I would love to have an early sono to guess on the nub, and we will definitely try to find out by 18-20 weeks! Good luck to all you girls!!!!!

Glittergirl- i totally agree with what you said. I too could be happy with three boys. I love the two i have so much that surely i would love a third just as much. It is the outside pressures that others put on us to have a girl that makes all of this so hard. Dont get me wrong, a girl is what im dreaming for, but another boy in our family would be great as long as no one remarks about the failure to not have a girl, how unlucky it is etc etc. If other people leave me alone im sure i would be very happy, but i doubt people in the supermarket etc would keep their unwanted opinions to themselves.

Exactly! I really feel like I'm swaying for a girl for everyone else. Besides the fact that I owuld love a girl and it's dh dream to have one....it's the outside pressure that is the worse. I'm so glad I came to this conclusion--hoping I wont get the GD everyone talks about!

Chunkymonkey--lots of luck on your sway! Hope you get your BFP this month! I keep going back and forth about finding out. I may make a guess at the 11 week nub but the more I think about it, since this is my last I want to truly be surprised! i was surprised with ds2 but in my heart I knew he was a boy. this time around I have no feelings either way so maybe being surprised will be fun for me! That way, if it's another boy I will just be amazed!!

YES! I feel the exact same way. I would really love a girl but mostly for my mom! She is dying for me to have a little girl...and my sis will never have kids so it's all on my shoulders! I felt terrible after my third son was born because I had to call and tell her that her third grandbaby boy was here. I could tell she was sad. :(

[praying4princess]

Hi girls, sorry I havent been on in a few days! Chunky Monkey~GOOD LUCK!!! Hope you get your BFP!!! Im not positive yet when I O this month! My period ended up coming early so Im not sure if I will O a little earlier or still between the 17th and 21st-ish!

Im sorry you girls feel so much pressure to have a girl. As long as you guys are happy with another boy, that is all that matters! As for myself, Im swaying for me and my DH!! We both desperately want to experience having a little girl and a daddys girl, and all the frilly dresses and cute shoes that go along with it! Lol Thankfully, we really dont have any outside pressure! My mom didnt particularly want us to have anymore kids for some reason! I dont understand that one, it not like she ever sees them or takes care of them or something! Heck she lives in SC!! The only other person we hear about having a baby from, is my FIL, but he wants more boys to carry on the family name! Lol

As for me finding out the sex, I prefer to find out at my 18-20 week sono!! With DS2, we had a peek at about 14 weeks, and it looked girly so that really got our hopes up!! That is probably why I cried at my 19 wk sono, when they told us it was a boy!! I dont really want an early peek, just in case that happens to me again! And I cant be surprised, because I love to shop for the baby!! I dont want to buy unisex, I want to be able to buy all boy or all girly stuff! Praying for all girly stuff this time!!!

[Glittergirl]

Haha I know what you mean about daddy's girl! I think that's why Dh wants a girl! the boys are all about me! They love to play rough and tumble with him and they love playing ball in the yard and that kind of stuff--but when it comes down to it--they are mammas boys LOL!

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Morning girls! I think i have ovulated so the long 2ww begins! I think i o a day earlier than i expected. I think i ov day 16, whereas normally my cycle is ov anywhwere between day 17 and 22. I think i had a one day cut off. The cut off isnt as long as perhaps i would have liked but i cant change it now and i do soooo what to be pregnant that i feel ok about the cut off. Fingers crossed and pink dust please ladies, i so want it to work this month. We did frequent release/BD (for 8-9 days) with sylk all of the times except our final attempt (as i was thinking maybe the sylk was stopping the sperm if they are already lowered by frequent release-only a thought as im not getting pregnant). Normally i have EWCM but i had none at all so i didnt take sudafed this month. So now i just have to wait and keep wishing.
Good luck to the rest of you with your attempt. Can't wait for us all to be in the 2ww - feeling positive this month now.

Where i live they give a routine scan at 12 weeks so i will definately be trying to get a nub shot from that to guess from, and i think we will find out the sex at the 20 wk scan. My first DS we lived in a different part of the country and they wouldnt tell anyone the babies sex so he was a surprise. DS2 we had moved and we found out that he was a boy at 20 wks. If i finally get pregnant with a third i really think i will have to find out, as if it is a little girl i would so love to start the pink shopping and if its a boy then i can get used to the idea of another boy before he arrives. The only questionning part of my brain says to wait until the birth as i will love so much whichever sex i give birth to and then if its a boy it wont matter. Actually no - decided (lol) i would prefer to find out.

[Glittergirl]

Good luck pickles! Lots of BFP vibes your way! Don't do like me and test 4 days later LOL!

[praying4princess]

Are any of you guys using the CBFM??? I had missed my last testing day last month.....and I started testing a few days ago for this month and it keeps saying LOW, but the lines look just like the ones on my HI days last month!! Just wondering if maybe I messed it up missing that last test last month??? (I ran out of tests last month!) Good thing Im using OPK's as well, so that I can go off of that just in case!!!

[praying4princess]

Yall arent going to believe this....after I posted this today, my darn OPK's have been neg and all of a sudden I get a + this afternoon! It isnt quite as dark as the other line so Im hoping I caught it early enough! I was aiming for a 2 day cutoff but I guess we missed that! Im really nervous, asI was not expecting to O this early and my OPK's really havent shown much of a fade! Oh well, we're going for it tonight so its in Gods hands now!!!! And on top of it I wasnt prepared with my rephresh and then we went and had lunch today, which I had a salad and was as careful as possible, but still..............this is not as great an attempt as I would like! Please, please, please say a prayer for us!! Im so nervous and worried about this timing!

I had to come on and say "Good Luck P4P!!!". I hope you get your PINK BFP soon!

I have a question about opk's....are they pretty much just a control line when you are no where near ovulating and then slowly change to a light test line as you approach O time? Do they increase quickly? I've been testing for a week now and I'm having issues deciphering my tests...
My tests have been basically non existent until about 7 days ago. They slowly changed to a light test line for 2 days(Sat. and Sun. and then on Mon it was as dark as the control line...and then Tues morning it was darker than the control line. On Wed it was back to slightly lighter than control, and by Thurs it was very light...today it's almost not visible. Does that mean I ovulated on Tues? Or on Wed? Or on Mon? I'm a little dense when it comes to these things....I've never used them before...LOL

I'm pretty darn sure I haven't ovulated since my youngest was born so I hope that the vitex I was taking has actually worked for me! I took it for 14 days and then I came off of it and seem to have O'd 7 days after coming off! YAY!


(I feel a bit dumb but I hope I didn't ovulate on Mon or Tues......We had unprotected sex on Sat. :suprise::worry::oops: It's been so long since I O'd I really didn't think it would happen so suddenly, which is why we weren't too worried about protection....Oh well.)

[Glittergirl]

DoulaMama--the way I understand it is that once you get the dark line that means you will ovulate within the next 24-48 hours so I would guess that once the line is fading then ovulation has already occurred. I had a dark line for two days then the third day it was lighter than the control so I was guessing that ovulation occurred sometime between the 2nd day and 3rd. Someone else may better know though.
p4p--good luck! sounds like a great cutoff!

on another note--I:sad: had some light light pink discharge today and now I'm concerned. No real cramping. I will see my doc on thurs. Has anyone had this before? I'm worried :sad:but I know it's in God's hands and whatever is meant to happen will. I just hope its nothing to be worried about:nails:.

[swish]

P4p - good luck, I think the best sways might be when they take you by surprise - fingers crossed for you!
Glittergirl, I had that with first DS and in the end I had a low lying placenta. I know lots of people that have had it and went on to have normal pregnancies so try not to worry.:happy:

[praying4princess]

Thank you so much everyone!!! Im not feeling great about it :nails:, maybe because I just wasnt prepared. Atleast my pH was perfect before hand....my husbands was a 7 the other day but of course he had a very salty meal for lunch yesterday so I have no idea where it was at by our attempt. My plan was not to add any rephresh after DTD like I did last time, but an hour after, my pH was at 7 :suprise: so I ended up adding a finger full. That worries me too, but I couldnt leave it at 7 and it was already midnight and I was ready to go to sleep! Oh and on top of that, had taken some Senokot yesterday to help my tummy along! I have no idea if that sways! :worry: Just not feeling as confident about this sway, like I was last month.:sad: But maybe youre right Swish, Ive read a few sways that went not as planned and still worked!

Glitter...I had some spotting early with DS2 and luckily it was just some blood that was left outside of the sack. So :fx: for you that it is nothing!! I know youll feel better once you talk to the doctor!

Doula...yes theline on OPK's usually starts to fade darjker and darker as you approach O. My guess is that you O'd Tues, since it was so dark and seeing as how it faded back lighton Wed ws because LH was back down. Thats what I had been doing was usin my fade pattern to do my cutoff, and DTD when it was ALMOST +......but I cant tell how it turned out this month! My OPK and CBFM was a little darker than last night so Im guessing 1-1.5 day...thiings were alot different this month than last! I had a ton of EWCM last month for several days and this month ust a small amount! So I didnt think I was quite so close to O yet! Wondering if its from the Saw Palmetto..:think: Oh well now, whats done is done I guess. Its all in Gods hands......:pray:

[Glittergirl]

Yeah I'm trying not to worry cause it's really really light and mixed with cm sorry tmi-- I've never had a miscarriage so don't know what to look for. I have some cramping but i had this with all pregs. I remember this clearly, almost like af cramps. I guess I'll wait til thurs to talk to my doc. The pink discharge went away so maybe it's nothing....

[Chunky Monkey]

BFN this morning :( I should start tomorrow or Wednesday. I felt good about our sway, so I'm pretty bummed. Oh well, nothing I can do.

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

oh chunky monkey, im so sorry. keep positive - you aren't definately out until AF shows. Fingers crossed for you.

[praying4princess]

I feel your pain Chunky Monkey :sad: Im sorry, I know its disappointing. It KIND OF made me feel a little better that atleast I only had about 1.5-2 wks before our next attempt! It went by kind of fast so that was good! Just stay positive (I know its hard), and get to work on your next attempt! We just had ours this weekend and I believe I O'd somewhere between midnight-8 am Sunday morning! So I guess Im 1dpo! I know youre bummed, I had felt really good about our sway last month but this month not so much! :worry: I hate that! Maybe its just all in my head and my sway wasnt actually that bad! :fx::pray: But I guess it doesnt matter, God is going to give me what He gives me! Im just trying to stay positive about that! :worry:

[Chunky Monkey]

Thank you for the kind words. I see how people sway girl and get exhausted trying month after month, then decide to forget all the swaying stuff and want to finally get pregnant! But if I haven't started by tomorrow, I will take another test. And same thing Wednesday. I will keep you updated. Good luck girls!!!

[wishing on a star]

Hi ladies, P4P how is everyone? Wow your in the 2ww again hun thats come round really quick this time, what cut off did u end up with? are u happy with your sway? Hoping to see lots of bfp's soon ai need some pregnancy buddies! Morning sickness seems to be worse late afternoon early evening so trying to get everything done in the mornings at the mo, havent been sick yet but feel pretty rough, food seems to be the only thing thats makes me feel a bit better lol. Having an early ultrasound tommorow as had some problems with last pregnancy so thats quite exciting! Hoping to be able to put old ramzis theory to the test

[Out of the Blue]

Hi, all….No, P4P, I didn't get thrown overboard, lol...I'm back now. WHEW…Been gone a long time and just finished skimming all the posts I missed. I really dorked up my sway and ate (and :beer:) too much on the cruise but I lost the 2lbs I gained so I guess that helps a bit. I’m hoping this doesn’t send me into boy territory but at this point, I just want to get preggers. I didn’t ovulate this last cycle (maybe since I was restricting my diet too much before vay-cay???) and will now have to wait until June 1st-ish. I keep changing my sway plans every 5 min. but I’m not too worried and I think we’ll just end up doing what feels right. I think we’ll probably do the frequent release route but not sure if we’ll use Aci-jel or not. I’m just surrendering myself to whatever will happen, pink or blue.

GG – YAYAYAYAYAY! Sending you TONS of sticky pink bean thoughts!!! :cheer::ttcgirl::cheer:
P4P – Hope the 2ww goes by quickly. It seems like déjà-vu b/c you were there right before I left. :babygirl::luck::cheer::awe::luck:
Wishing - Hope all is well w/you! :LotsofLove::cheer::HH:
Ladybug,Swish & Doula – Sending you PINK good luck sway thoughts! :luck::cheer::luck:
Pickles & Monkey – Hoping you get your BFPs very soon! Darn 2ww takes forever! :luck::cheer::luck::cheer::luck::cheer::luck::HH:: fingers::awe::fingers:

Think I got you all…sorry if I’ve missed anyone…

I’m so glad I’m back so I can catch up w/y’all since DH’s eyes glaze over when I talk about baby swaying stuff. He just wants a girl and doesn’t care how we get her. You guys are my PINK SISTERS, lol!!!
:hugs::cheerteam:

[wishing on a star]

hi umajain welcome back from your hols to, ive been back a few days and still catching up with all the posts!! Good luck on your sway this month, and i wouldnt worry to much abouyt the guilty pleasures i had one or two the month i concieved but as long as you lost some weight then thats great!!!

[praying4princess]

Well, well look who came back from their holiday!!!! :cool: Lol Glad yall are back safe and sound!! :bigsmile: Did you guys have a wonderful time!??! :sad: I need a vay-cay soooo badly!!! The beach has been calling my name, but gotta stay out of the salt water and pools for now!!:mad::bigsmile: It seemed like yall were gone fooooor-eeeeeverrrrr!!!!

Wishing ~ yes it did come around quick....and very unexpected!!:worry: I was not prepared, I guess the saw palmetto made me O early! There was nothing at all on my OPK one day, then the next afternoon it was positive!! I had to illegally speed :rofl: to walmart to get some Rephresh because I had planned on going the next morning to get it! So I ran home did 1/2 rephresh and waited 4 hrs and DTD at like midnight!! :rolleyes: Then an hour later my pH was at 7 :nails::worry: so I added a finger full of rephresh....which I said I wasnt going to do this time BUT 7 was a little scary!:worry: Yeah and seeing as how I thought I was about 4-5 days from O, I had a salad a few hrs before DTD and DH had a patty melt and fries!!!! :nails: YIKES!! It was not good! I was freaking out, so needless to say Im not feeling as good about this months sway!! Oh and I had taken some Senokot that day too...not sure which way that sways! Im very disappointed!:sad: But whats done is done, and I just really didnt want to lose this months oppurtunity so I just went for it anyway! My stupid CBFM isnt working right and never gave me a High or Peak day, so I was just checking the fade on those and my OPKs to judge and watching CM. I didnt have near as much EWCM as I had last month so that was ONE good thing!! Im thinking from the fade that I O'd Sat night (midnight)-Sunday morning somewhere.......so thats scary too because that only gave me a little over 24 hr cutoff!! :nails:.............yeah!

UmaJain~ I know, my 2ww got here really fast....which is a good thing! Just wished I had been more prepared and that my sway wouldve been better! I was really wnting closer to 2 day cutoff, but didnt want to miss my cance this month and have to wait 4 more weeks....A LIFETIME!!....to try again!!! At this point all I can do is keep praying pink blessings for us!!

[Glittergirl]

I'm so sad to be posting this, but I miscarried:sad: I had the light spotting for a few days then Sunday it got more. I saw my doctor the next day and although he said everything looked fine in the ultrasound....I knew:broken:. He told me I was at risk for a miscarriage. I never spotted with any of my pregnancies. then last night the pain became really bad and I just knew this is it :sad:. Well, I'm trying to stay positive. I got pregnant really quickly but it just feels like such a loss right now. I'm sure I will be ready to try again, but now I'm really scared. I'll still be checking with all of you and looking forward to BFP and hopefully I'll be back here swaying with all of you soon. Sorry for the downer.

[Chunky Monkey]

I'm so sorry Glitter :( Take all the time you need for yourself, and jump back in when you are ready. We will all be here for you.

[swish]

So sorry, glittergirl. Sending lots of love your way, take care, x

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

oh Glittergirl i am so so sorry to hear that. It is so devastating and i know what you are going through. Big hugs hun, if you need to talk about it i am more than happy to. x

[Out of the Blue]

GG - I am so, so sorry. I'm sending you TONS of prayers and good thoughts. We are here for you, Mama. Do what ever you need to do to get through this.
:hugs: XOXO

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - I was MIA for so long b/c my parents came out to watch our boys while we snuck away for a week. They don't know we'll be TTC (let alone swaying) so I had to really sneak around. They just left yesterday so I'm in the clear. Terrible timing for going on a cruise...I booked it before I understood about swaying and the important role of one's diet. I'm back to my weight before the cruise but it is definitely not the best scenario as I ate things I shouldn't have. Nothing I can do now except be grateful of things and trust in the process and know I'll eventually get the sweet little soul I'm meant to have. Reminding me of that gives me peace when I start getting too worked up about things.

I'm really hoping this time is a BFP cycle for you. I wouldn't worry to much about the timing since I don't think it really matters all that much (IMO anyway...). In fact, don't worry about anything at all...It's done...just try to relax (I know...You're going, "Yeah, right...!")! There's nothing you can do now except be grateful of things and trust in the process and know you'll eventually get the sweet little soul you're meant to have. I try to remind myself of that and it gives me peace when I start getting too worked up about things. Just try to sit back and think positive, pink thoughts and be grateful. I hope this next week or so FLIES by for you! :luck::awe::luck:

[praying4princess]

Glitter, Im so, so very sorry to hear this...:sad::sad:. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort in this situation youre going through. It broke my heart when I read your post. I have never miscarried, but I have been worried about that lately for some reason. Just take care of yourself for a bit and then when youre ready you can get back to TTC again! :hugs::pray: & :kiss: to you!

[praying4princess]

Uma~ yes I know the feeling! My husbands family, nor my dad and stepmom know anything about us TTC so we've had to be sneaky and watch what we say....on top of making up 100 excuses of why we cant go eat with them or go swimming!! Ugh, its getting very frustrating!
Thats what I kept trying to remind myself....timing is least important and a ton of sways have been successful BD near and thru O! I dont know, for some reason I havent felt like we conceived this month. Maybe its just me trying not to get to excited like I did last month, but I havent really thought about it much or realized that we TTC this month! But yet, I keep thinking about my sway! I know, makes no sense at all!!! Lol Im too focused on what DIDNT go as planned, instead of looking at it from both angles and maybe it actually wasnt that bad. Ive prayed and God knows how much we would love to be blessed with a precious, healthy little girl with brown curls (Lol), so I just have to put my trust in Him and accept that Hes going to give us what HE wants us to have! Im trying to stay relaxed and stick to my diet just in case. It has been hard lately sticking to the diet for some! I too hope the 2WW FLIES by!!!!!!! Thankyou!

[ladybug]

So sorry Glittergirl....How devastasting....Take all the time you need, we will be here when you get back...Take care of yourself..xo

[Glittergirl]

thanks Girls! It's been rough but I wont let this stop me. I'll wait a few cycles and maybe sway again soon. I'll still be on here reading up on your sways. Maybe I'll learn more and be better prepared! You all are the best!!

[wishing on a star]

Wishing - on the edge of my chair awaiting your u/s results. I'm so curious about the Ramzi's Theory. Sending you PINK VIBES. Also, hope your m/s is better and ends soon!

well i had my ultrasound done yesterday and all is fine, baby measuring 4 days bigger which is a positive although im confident when i ovulated so maybe its just growing well. I posted my u/s pic on another site where a girl i know has been studying the ramzi's theory and she guessed at GIRL. I dont wanna look to much into it though as im not sure exactly how accurate the theory is but she does state that to date her results are around 71% which is better than 50/50!!
How are you feeling P4P? Try and stay confident hun, they say little girls turn up when they are least expected!!! When is it you can start testing?
xxxx

[praying4princess]

Hi Wishing, Im feeling fine! Trying to be patient and not put too much thought into it.....though everytime I go to the bathroom I look for spotting! For some reason, I dont know why, but I just dont feel like Im pregnant. But we'll see I guess. Im trying not to think to much about my sway but its hard not to! I hope youre right!!!! Lol How does this Ramzi's Theory work?? I think Ive read about it before, the name sounds familiar. I hope the girl is right about yours and that youre getting your girl!!!

Oooooohhhhh! YAY for a healthy growing possibly pink bean! Will you find out at your 20 week or will you wait to find out? I think I'll be open to opinions until 13 weeks and then I'll quit looking/asking and wait until D-day to find out for sure. Can't wait to hear more about your sweet bean!:awe:

UGH! I know! I hate having to be sneaky. On several occasions, my own Mom told me two kids are plenty and that I shouldn't have any more so I'm making DH tell her when I'm preggers...He doesn't care and my Mom LOVES him. Sucks to be that way but that's how it is. I know she'll love our caboose once she or he is here. She lives across the country so we don't see her much anyway.

Like Wishing said, those little girls are sneaky and you never know! Sending you little bean vibes! :luck::HH::luck:

Crazy!!! My mom is the same way! I went ahead and told her we were TTC and was ready for any smartbutt remark she would have!! :nyd: Shes that type, someone asked if we were going to have anymore and she said NO before I could even amswer....like one of those "absolutely not" NO's!!! It made me mad needless to say! She too lives about 10 hrs away from us, so its not like she ever sees them anyway! Its been almost a year since we've seen her. And oh not to mention my MIL!!! Yeah shes the one I dread to hear from! Shes a very opinionated and negative person anyway, she'll def have something to say! But I cant be rude to her, because Idont want my DH to get mad and he sure wont say anything to her!

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - What's with our Mamas?!? So sorry about you MIL...That's a really tough situation. My Mom said she doesn't want me to get that sick again while preggers (hyperemesis, IV drips, Zofran 24/7, etc. - I know you've been there too!) & that w/3 they wouldn't get the attention they need. Wouldn't she just trust me enough to support me? It's so frustrating & sad and that pushes me away from her. Maybe that also drives me to want a girl b/c I've learned a lot about what to do and not do from the relationship w/my Mom. I know sooooo many people who have told me they really regret not having another child and I don't want that to be DH and me. I'm so thankful DH and I are both on the same page regarding the # of kiddos we want. Sorry for the rant but I'm just thought my Mom was the only one out there who thought that way. I'm so glad all you Mamas are here & so supportive.

[praying4princess]

UmaJain, is your moms name Kathy because Id swear we're talking about the same person!!!! Lol My mom said exactly that too...."well are you gonna be ok, can your body handle that"!! I was like, thats the dumbest question Ive ever heard! Ive been through it twice and lived, why wouldnt I be able to do it a 3rd time! Ive never heard of anyone dying from M/S!!!

Ok, Ive had some cramping the last 2 days and today I had quite a bit of CM.....TMI but its white-ish/clear...some (kind of thin, but not like EWCM)stretchy and some creamy inside. I noticed some CM yesterday too when I wiped. Sorry about the TMI! What do you guys thinks thats about?? I even did an OPK just to make sure I wasnt Oing again!

[wishing on a star]

HEY p4p keep checking in to see how yiu ladies are. How many dpo are you? Cramping is a good sign, i had that 5 dpo so it must have been implantation!! OOOhhhhh so excited for you, cant wait for you to get your bfp!!!

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - I agree...being preggo is just a small moment in time compared to the life time you will bring into this world! Now just remind me of that when I'm puking my guts out...

How many DPO are you? Really hoping that was implantation cramping as Wishing said... :luck:

[praying4princess]

Me too ladies!! Did you guys notice alot of cm around that time? I am 6 dpo today (this early am I believe!).

Lol, yes Uma I will have to remind myself of that too when Im laid over the toilet and have to move the tv and blanket/pillow into the bathroom!!

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - 7DPO now...Will you wait a few days to test or did you check today? I know...it's still early but since I 'm not preggers, I'm on the edge of my seat and sending you BFP dust...

Anyone else out there waiting to test??? Let us know how you're doing & when you'll test.

GG - sending you lots of HUGS, Mama!

I'm set to O around the 1st so I'm getting ready for our 1st attempt. Tried Aci-jel and it didn't do much so I'll keep trying a bit to get my body used to it before our attempt. Thinking I'll try that and Sylk when the time comes. Wowzuhs...I'm getting a bit nervous.

[praying4princess]

Yes I did test this morning just to see if anything showed, but I wasnt expecting it to so that way I didnt get my hopes up or anything......of course nothing showed! Yes it is still very early! I havent had any spotting, just the cramping the other day. I think I may test every 2 days this week....as I am so ready to ot have to worry about this darn diet!!! So that way if I keep getting negatives, Ill know to keep sticking to it (its been hard lately!) but if I get faint line at some point then I can eat a little more!! Lol Thank you for the BFP dust!! Im praying that this is our month and hopefully a PINK bean!!!

I know youre getting nervous Uma!!! I was too, but luckily my sway went well....just no BFP!

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Im 10dpo today and i think i may have got my BFP today. im so praying it is and that it sticks after a year of trying and one miscarriage i really have my fingers crossed. It was a faint BFP but definately a second line there. I cant believe it :)
Ive been feeling really crampy this week and had quite a bit of cloudy thick cm at times (this was how i felt when i got my last BFP last september). Im going to test again tomorrow morning and hope that the line has got darker and more definate. Please please please let this be a sticky, healthy bean (and hopefully pink).

[Out of the Blue]

P4P – I’d be testing EVERY day if it was me, lol. Yeah…it’s still early! That’s awesome that your feel your sway was strong! Some days I feel like I’m doing great, other days not so much. I’m just ready for O-time…Should be about 10 days from now. I’m continuing to send you BFP dust, Mama! :luck::cheer::luck:

Pickles – Awwww…….YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! I think a line is a line, even if it’s faint. I’m really hoping it’s your time! I’m sending PINK STICKY BEAN vibes your way! KUP! :luck::awe::luck:

Yay that's awesome! I agree, a line is a line. I had mine 10dpo so yippppeeeee! hoping I can join you girls in the next month or two--not sure how soon after a MC I can try again?? I'm praying I don't have to wait toooooo long!

Thats awesome Pickles!!!!!! I hope its darker this morning!! Thats very encouraging for me to hear, because I have been very crampy the last several days....this morning as well....and there was a few days that I had ALOT of CM kind of how you described! No spotting though. Did you have any spotting?

Yes UmaJain, I want to test everyday too!!! Im just trying not to get stressed and upset like I did last month! Its hard for me to tell if Ive implanted yet without the spotting, IF this is our month...it very well may not be!

[wishing on a star]

cONGRATULATIONS THREE GORGEOUS PICKLES thats great news to hear, hope your test line gets darker!! Thats sounds really promising P4P when will you start testing hun?
xxxxxxxx

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Hi girls, thank you for your congratulations. I still can't believe it! I tested again this morning and the line is still fainter than the control but darker than yesterdays line, and hubby could see todays line too :) My AF still isnt due for 3 days so hopefully the line will be really dark by then.

P4P - no i didnt get any spotting at implantation. I never have with any of my pregnancies. I really think that this month sounds good for you. You seem to have similar symptoms to me this month. Im praying for you hun -its your turn.
How many dpo are?

Sticky, healthy, pink beans for us all please x

[Out of the Blue]

YAY, Pickles!!! :cheer:

P4P - I've never had implant spotting and many others don't either...Got my :fingers: for you!

GG - Sending TONS of good thoughts your way, Mama! HUGS! :HH:

[praying4princess]

Congratulations Pickles!!!:cheerteam: :bigsmile:

I am 8 dpo today! Iwas crampy most of the day today too! Hoping thats a good sign!! I started to test but I didnt, trying to hold off!!! I may tomorrow, or try to wait till Wed when Im 10dpo!

Thank you for the encouragement guys!!! I know the Lord has something wonderful planned for us!! He really loves that saying "good things are worth waiting for"!! Lol

[praying4princess]

Ok ladies, just an update....I had a little brown CM when I went to the bathroom and wiped! Not sure if its from implantation or not! Im not gonna get worked up about it! Just going to wait a couple days then test....Maybe Wednesday @ 10 dpo! Hopefully I can wait 2 days!

[Out of the Blue]

:fx: P4P!

[wishing on a star]

Cant wait to hear update P4P XXX

[praying4princess]

Had a little more brown cm today! Still testing negative. I have to go to the doctor tomorrow for some issues Ive been having, maybe they will do some blood work and possibly show up on there if so! It may still be too early to show through lab work though. I will be 10 dpo tomorrow!

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

P4P-Hope everything goes ok at the docs tomorrow. You still have a good chance - there's a page on ingender that says that only 35% of people get a BFP on 10dpo so its still early days. Good luck.

[Out of the Blue]

P4P...sending you BFP vibes! :cheer:

How did it go at doc hunny, any news?
xxxxxx

[praying4princess]

Thank you ladies!!! I hope I get my BFP this month because the Dr put me on some meds and Im not sure how they would affect my sway! :/ I have had couple of bad dizzy spells lately and had a spasm like feeling in my head.....anyway its called BPPV...something to do with the calcium stones in the inner ear and its causing vertigo. He said he thinks I probably shook my head up exercising, so I cant exercise until its better and he gave me 2 prescriptions. If that doesnt help I may have to do some kind of physical therapy to make it better. Other than that everythings good!! Atleast its not a brain tumor or bleeding or anything serious! I was scared when it first happened...I thought I was trying to have a stroke!

Im not going to test today (10dpo), I think Im going to try to wait atleast another day r two! I still had a little brown cm last night so it may still be too early! Hope its a BFPINKP!!!!

[praying4princess]

Oh and the doctor didnt do any lab work :( Lol Just a bunch of other crazy mess!! He made me push down like I was constipated while he listened to the blood vessels in my neck, and he told me not to "toot" on him!!! Geez louise, I could feel the red on my face!!!

[Glittergirl]

Hi Girls! Just checking in on everyone and hoping to hear more good news. I feel really good now but just not excited about swaying again. I have gained a couple of pounds cause I haven't been going to the gym and I'm skipping this week and next. But maybe that's good so I can start losing weight before my attempt again. UGH can't stand to start all over, but that's what it is. Looking to hear about your sways! I'm gonna start on my supps again....ahhhh and testing cm......I was so done with that too!!!! Good thing I did't get rid of all my stuff!!!

[Out of the Blue]

Love that pic, GG! I took a break from testing pH but I think I'll bring out the Hanna again...I'm just kind of ready to be done w/swaying but I'll keep up the diet for a few more mos if I need to. Sending you lots of "Get your sway on" vibes!

P4P - OMG...You poor thing! So glad you're okay! Bwaaahhh, haaaaa, haaaaa..."Please don't toot on me". Too funny! :rofl:

[praying4princess]

Hmm, yesterday afternoon I went to check my pH because I havent in a few days and there was a tiny bit of blood in there...just a very tiny bit, but it never came out on my underwear or when I wiped! I dont know if thats good or bad!!

Thanks UmaJain! I love pin-up girls too. So you're still on supps and diet? I'm gonna start diet soon but get on the supps now and maybe actually start my attempt in July. We'll see. I ordered a bunch of opk and hpt cause Im not sure if I'm even ovulating yet.

I forgot what timing did you use this month? Good luck though!!!

[praying4princess]

I forgot what timing did you use this month? Good luck though!!!

I THINK I ended up with a little over 24 hr cutoff!!! Eeeek! But my OPK just turned up almost positive at 6:00 in the afternoon that day and I dint want to miss out on this month so we went for it that night anyway! Im thinking from OPK's and CBFM tests it was 1-1.5 days. My period isnt due for around another week, so who knows...... Im 12dpo today. Didnt test today, luckily I had some things to occupy me and not sure if I will tomorrow because were going to pick vegetables and get them put up when we get home so Ill probably be too busy to think about it!

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

I don't really know what supplements there are that help make cycles more regular - what supplements are there please?

We are doing frequent release/BD this month with sylk, but we may not use sylk the last BD before our cut off as we have used sylk every month so far and no BFP so im wondering if this is affecting the sperm too much? What do you think? I am trying hard on the diet (although I 'fell off' and caved in to a magnum ice cream today - regretting it though!).
I so hope this is the month for a sticky BFP. My aim was to be pregnant by the baby we losts due date which would have been 30th May so this is my last try to achieve that aim. Im struggling in my head between swaying hard this month and just trying as much as possible to get pregnant, but then I do want our little girl so much - its a tough decision!
At the park today I saw a mother with three sons and they were having so much fun that it reinforced for me that three boys would be ok - not my perfect family, but lovely all the same and i would be grateful just being able to have a third child. My only problem is that a girl i met 5 years ago at my sons antenatal group became a good friend of mine and we both went on to have boys as second children. She knew that i was pregnant a third time and that i went on to miscarry and at christmas when she was almost 5 months pregnant she told me that she was pregnant with her third too but had hidden it from me as she hadnt wanted three kids and it happened accidentally. She is pregnant with a girl and due the same time as the baby that i miscarried! I am so jealous (it feels like she has my baby). Im happy for her that she is getting a girl after 2 boys but its so unfair - she hadn't wanted a third child, let alone swayed for months and months. Im finding it hard being around her. So as you can see this month is a real dilemma - try everything to get pregnant so im pregnant by 30th may when my baby would have been born and her little girl will be born, or keep trying to get our own little girl which may never happen or may not happen for many more months.

Sorry to pour out all my woes! The closer it gets to what would have been my due date and the closer it gets to seeing my friend have her baby girl the more down i feel about it all.

Well today has been tough - my friend i mentionned had her little girl this afternoon. I am very envious. I just need to hope my pregnancy is a sticky one so i can concentrate on that and hope its a healthy (pink) little one too.

How are you all doing today?

p4p-you are so strong not having tested yet-fingers crossed for you.

[praying4princess]

Well I ended up testing today! I had to buy some more test while I was at the store so I went ahead and tested when I got home....BFN! Im 13 dpo todays so Im thinking this wasnt our month. I havent felt like we got pregnant ever since our attempt, so it wouldnt be a surprse to me. My period usually starts the 5th but last month it came early on the 2nd instead so Im guessing m due anywhere between the 5th-2nd this month. Oh well, theres always next month........

[Out of the Blue]

Pickles - Sending you TONS of HUGS...:hugs:I'm so, so sorry. That must be so difficult. I'm sending up good thoughts in hopes that you get your sweet girl this summer.

GG - Still doing the diet/supps and my sway is pretty good for the most part (see below, lol). Drinking tons of cran & peppermint tea, keeping w/the "low everything diet" and maintaining my weight (I lost 20+ last summer & now I've plateaued it seems). I really hope you get a sticky BFP on your next try! LOTS OF PINK DUST for you!

P4P - I've got my FX for you hoping that if not this round, it'll be next round for you. 3's a charm!!! HUGS!:cheer:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stopped my Vitex two days ago since we're now officially TTC..YAY! but :nails:. I'd been taking it every day for almost 6 weeks. I have no clue whether stopping it will push out my O or make it come sooner so we thought we'd just start BD and keep it going, lol! FF predicts that I'll O around the 1st but who knows...PPAF had just come back in March and adding/stopping Vitex really makes it difficult to gauge. Needless to say, we're using lots of SYLK and having fun but it sucks to not enjoy a nice O...

Right now, my biggest issue w/my sway is that I find it very difficult to prolong or skip breakfast. I'm doing what I can and hoping this month will be our BFP month so I can go back to eating my BFB (Big Fat Breakfast), lol!

[praying4princess]

I started my period this morning. Im not surprised to Im not TOO disappointed......oh well, you just try try again right!! And I started several days early again this month! I cant figure that one out! When I got my IUD out last year my periods were on the 2nd for a while then over the months theyve moved to the 3rd, then 4th and 5th. Theyve stayed pretty regular until the last 2 months. Heck its not even June yet and Im starting my June period! I think this month, Im changing from the Rephresh, I havent gotten pregnant with i yet. I may go to Replens and lime douche....I just hate having to keep watch on pH so much with those. But I like what one girl had posted on another forum, she feels its more important to keep pH low from the inside with food, CL and supplements instead of trying so hard from the outside after the sperm are already in there!

I agree w/what she said...just trust that the diet is working. I really do believe it's the biggest factor. If you start to worry too much about pH, timing, etc., testosterone will go up. Maybe your RepHresh is killing all the little guys. A switch in things may help! Really hoping 3's a charm for you!

Hi p4p so sorry to hear to hear AF showed up. Maybe consider using replens this month?! i used replens and sylk as a lube the month i concieved
xxx

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Thanks umajain - i really appreciate that.

p4p-sorry your AF showed up. Really hope next month is your month.

Wishing on a star - what symptoms have you had this pregnancy and roughly when did each symptom start? Do you feel any different to your boys?

[Glittergirl]

Pickles--Sorry about your friend's baby. That happened to me...my best friend was preg with her girl after 3 boys the same time I was preg with boy#3. She had her baby just 4 days before me. Made my pregnancy rough but I was so happy to be having my baby. Then last year my SIL had a girl and named it the name I have always wanted for my girl. She said since I wasn't gonna use it she would. I cried for days and only DH and my sister knew how hurt I was but I got over it since she REALLY wanted a boy and now has 2 girls Buhahahah LOL! Praying for a pink bean in there!
P4P--Sorry AF showed up, I may sway with you again next month. this may sound really weird, but part of me thinks this miscarriage is a blessing. I so wanted to be pregnant that at this point I just want a healthy baby! I really think if I have another boy I will be so very excited. I had never had a MC and never knew how sad I could be over a loss when I was only 5 weeks along. Maybe I'll be super relaxed with my next sway since I really want to get preg again!
Uma--I haven't even started my diet again. Dh has this whole week off and we have so much planned. there's no way I can diet this week so I'm taking supps and then will go full force and try to lose about 5 pounds along the way. I think will just try to be a super vegetarian for the next several weeks!
Wishing--praying that's your pink bean in there!!!!! I think it is--my gut says it's your girl!!!!

[praying4princess]

Thanks girls! For some reason, I knew the next day after DTD that this wasnt our month. I just had a feeling!

Yes Wishing, I am thinking of switching to Replens this month! Hmm, I forgot about the Sylk!!! Did you do the lime douche or just Replens and Sylk? And did you just do finger replens to help keep pH down? I havent gotten to try out the Replens to see how it does with my pH, so I guess I'll have to do that quickly...as soon as AF goes back where she came from!!!

I really thought we would get pregnant the first try seeing as how we got pregnant right away with both boys! It must be the Rephresh, surely!

[Glittergirl]

Oh yeah--I know I called this thread april/may swayers, but do you girls wanna stay on here so we can still find each other and follow our sways? Let me know if you all move over to another thread so I can find you!!!!!

[Glittergirl]

P4P--everything I've read on ingender and here really makes me not believe in timing at all! I agree that you should stay on the diet and change your ph from the inside and use the creams as a lube but I think if you lower your VJ ph that much, you're really just killing all the guys....and gals LOL! And if you are totally missing O time then your chance of getting preg are so slim. I plan on doing the diet and losing some weight, use the replens as a lube and I will douche one-two hour before my attempt, then the next day to get rid of EWCM.( the only reason I will use douche is cause my mom always douched and had all girls--she looks back and says she thinks that is why she never had a boy) I will use frequent release so the sperm quality will be good and then DTD 2, 3, 1 day before O (Up to the first day of positive OPK) so I think I will end up with a 1-1 1/2 day cutoff.

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Glittergirl- i cant believe your SIL named her girl the name you wanted, but most of all that she said she may as well use it as you never will, OMG, i so cant believe she said that. Im so sorry you had to go through that.

What type of douche did your mom use? LOL personal question...hope you don't mind me asking:) Your sway is close to mine...frequent release, sylk, replens, plus benadryl on the days leading up and through O.
And I have to say...I'm so sorry that your SIL stole your name:( How terrible.

[praying4princess]

Wow GG, thats pretty rotten of your SIL!! If I hadnt changed into a better person ;), I wouldve laid that "B" out!!!! Lol
Thats what Im thinking too GG, that the rephresh was killing them all! I havent read where anyone has used it swaying before and gotten pregnant....it seems to be a newer thing people on here are trying. So Im switching!! I guess Ill buy Replens AND Sylk,so I have both on hand. I was thinking about doing the douche as well....what kind of douche did you use? Im just praying the Replens doesnt make my pH go UP, because I havent been able to test that one out yet!

Oh and yes, I intend on staying on this thread with you guys!!! April, May,June...July....whatever, theyre all in the same vicinity!!! Lol

Thank you so much hunny what a lovley thing to say you made me well up a bit, bloody pregnancy hormones lol>
Sorry i dont post on here as much at the moment i still follow the thread and am keeping an eye on you all, had a rough few weeks with nausea and heartburn been feeling pretty sorry for myself. I knew to expect it you just kinda forget, i feel really miserable at the moment trying to snap out of it but feeling sick from when you get up till go to bed is not nice. So sorry for the rant ladies i feel really selfish moaning about it but hubby dosent quite understand so thought id get it all out on here lol.
P4P i used replens about an hour before my attempt and a finger amount everyother day before that. I also put a tiny bit at the entrance 5 mins after. I used sylk as a lube when we bd and i really did need it TMI!! I didnt use the lime douche as tried it the month before and it gave me a slight infection, also i used the same cut off so thought maybe i killed all the little swimmers.

Wishing - Vent away, Mama. No one knows how rough m/s can be unless you've been through it. I have a reaaaaally tough time w/it and I know P4P does too. I hope the m/s starts to subside soon...When I get it, even sitting at the PC is too rough. And don't get me started on those preggy hormones! Those are the worst! Sending lots of PINK THOUGHTS your way. HUGS!


I don't know if we will actually TTC this go around...This is a bit off topic but has to do w/why we probably won't TTC right now.

A week ago yesterday, DH had to put his 16 yr old pup to sleep. It was so rough on all of us and we just felt awful. Then yesterday, while I was out, DH let our two remaining dogs outside (it was 94 degrees out). I came home and asked where the dogs were and we rushed outside...One dog was at the door panting, the other was laying in the sun on the grass, lifeless. We brought the sickest dog in and as soon as I called his name, he tried to lift up his head but then died right there in my arms. DH lost it and just feel so terrible. He keeps asking me to forgive him and I told him I don't blame him at all. The 16 yr old who was put to sleep a week ago always barks to remind DH to let them in but she was not here to do so and DH got wrapped up w/ DS#1 who had a potty training accident. A week ago, we had 3 dogs, now just one. We are depressed beyond belief and completely horrified. I don't think my body even wants to ovulate even if we did DTD which won't happen anytime soon. I think we'll just have to wait until next round to start. Sorry to go off topic...Just wanted to let you guys know I'm out this round and I may be away for a bit.

A week ago, we had 3 dogs, now just one. We are depressed beyond belief and completely horrified. I don't think my body even wants to ovulate even if we did DTD which won't happen anytime soon. I think we'll just have to wait until next round to start. Sorry to go off topic...Just wanted to let you guys know I'm out this round and I may be away for a bit.

AWWWWW UMA!!!!!! That's really a crap sandwich about your dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!! I can only imagine how your DH feels. I hope your DH realizes that he is not a robot and we as humans will forget, get side tracked and make mistakes. I totally feel sorry for our dog these days. She totally is the low man on the totem pole since DS2 came around. Alls we can do is try our best. Hope your DH feels better.

[pastelpicnic]

Just wanted to add that I swayed this month and I am 4dpo. Although I really don't feel that we conceived this try. We had a 2 day cutoff. I did have some EWCM present which I tried to dry up with Sudafed. So I really won't mind if AF shows up since I would like to try to better prevent my EWCM from showing up next cycle. GL! to everyone else who tried this month also, and who will be trying in June as well! :bigsmile:

[3boys]

Hi girls. I have been following this thread since you started it and just wanted to say that some of your TTC antics have really made me laugh. I will be TTC as soon as AF shows (I am having an extremely long 30 something day cycle). I'm feeling kind of alone TTC as we havnt told any friends or family. You all seem really friendly and I was wondering if I could join you?

[3boys]

Thanks pastel. Started AF today so I am officially now TTC :-) I'm so excited

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Welcome 3boys. Good luck ttc, have fun :)

[ladybug]

I am still with you ladies....Sorry I have been so quiet....I was just so upset after not being able to get my IUD until June 15....I am folllowing all you ladies and can't wait for everyone to get their BFpinkP......

I am still doing the diet and I have lost a total of 5lbs so far...I am getting use to it now...Does anyone know if its ok to try right after having my iud removed...Its due to come out on the 15th and I usually ovulate around the 20 to the 23...Should I wait until next month? any advice is welcome :)

[praying4princess]

Welcome 3boys!!! Glad you could join us!

Ladybug~ I believe i read that it is perfectly fine to TTC right after getting an IUD out! My doctor told me I would be fertile right away!! Not that I wasnt before...but the little guys couldnt get in there then!! Lol

AF ended a couple days ago for me, so I will start my OPK's and CBFM any day! AF came VERY early this month so who knows when I'll O!! I bought REPLENS this time and ordered some Sylk! Hope they both do ok with my pH! FX You ladies that used Replens...do you have any advice on how you did your sway with it?? Douche..no douche and what kind...etc!? I need to go through and read the Replens forum from Atomic again!
Last month, I knew right off the bat that we wernt going to conceive that month, but for some reason I have a good feeling about this month! Maybe Gods speaking to my heart and telling me its going to be okay and work out!

[ladybug]

Here is my plan for my sway.....
I have been on the diet for 6 weeks now...I have cheated a few times but I eat totally different than I did when I conceived my boys...
I am taking calcium,magnesium and cranberry and hubby is taking the same
I drink at least 3 crystal light per day and at least 1 caffine free diet soda
I plan to have a hot shower and use an vinegar douche an hour before dtd
Hubby will have a hot shower
We will use sylk as lube and I will do replens fingertip after...
We will also use zyrtec around O time....
I think I am going to dtd thru O...thats the only thing I am unsure about...

We did a trial run and it went OK...PH stayed low....Hubby has trouble going really shallow..we have to work on that...

Am I missing anything? all advice is welcome

[3boys]

Ladybug I just replied on the June post but I think your sway sounds great. I am bedding through ovulation due to clomid restrictions. Yes I would totally start trying after the iud comes out.

P4P I'm glad you have a good feeling about this cycle! I am waiting for my sylk to come in the post. Won't be using any other of the jellies as I have a hard enough time conceiving as it is. DH thinks we should use preseed when he said this I nearly had a heart attack! LOL. No way ha ha.

[Out of the Blue]

Hi ladies. I really needed a change so I changed my username from UmaJain to Out of the Blue.

Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s been a tough time for us. We managed to DTD last night but we did everything we should NOT have done. No hot shower for DH, no Zyrtek for me, I was on top w/a big O and hardly any Sylk remained. It was the only way poor DH could do it since he’s still pretty depressed about the situation this week. I freaked so I squirted a bunch of Sylk in my Diva cup and inserted it. WTH was I thinking!?! I did use some Aci-jel yesterday a.m. but screwed up everything else. Oh, yeah…I think I O’d yesterday since I got a huge temp spike this a.m. so we did it right around O time. All signs were saying it was O time but I never got any +OPKs at all. That makes me think maybe I didn’t O at all, especially since I’ve been grieving and stressed. I’m going ahead w/the 2 ww in hopes that I did O and that it’s a healthy bean. I feel like asking for a pink bean at this point would be asking for too much. I’m just still pretty low and don’t want to worry about TTC anymore.

Pastelpicnic – YAY! I can’t wait to hear about your BFP!!! My FX for you!

3boys – Welcome!!! We’re also sort of secretly TTC (keeping it from my Mom). I am also experiencing long cycles (35 days) since AF just came back recently and is still crazy. Congrats on officially TTC!!! BTW – I think Sylk is a great choice! Tell DH to just step away from the Preseed, lol!

Ladybug – Sounds like you’re doing great! WTG on losing 5 lbs! I say TTC as soon as you can…Don’t worry about waiting! I think your sway sounds great!

P4P- It’ll definitely work out!!! Go w/your gut…This is going to be your month, Mama!


XXXXs to all of you! :cheer::cheer::cheer:

Mmmmmm makes me wonder.... do men with smaller willys produce more girls LOL Ha ha ha

[3boys]

Out of the blue.... Love the new name! Wishing you the very best for this cycle hun!

[zanacal]

Mmmmmm makes me wonder.... do men with smaller willys produce more girls LOL Ha ha ha

So funny but a good question - my husband is, umm, well we have 3 boys! I remember when we conceived DS2 and I knew it had worked because I was ovulating so my cervix was low and I could feel DH was right there .... I've said to him in the past that I wonder whether we always have boys because he's got a big willy (of course he loves that lol!)!

[Glittergirl]

Hi girls! I have been out of town on vacation but it's nice to be on here and catch up! Out of the Blue--So sorry about your dogs, that really sucks. I know what it's like to lose a beloved dog, especially when you have had and loved that dog for so long. My german shepherd pretty much died in my arms from a sudden illness, he was 11 years old and I had him before I was married or had kids so he was so special and he was with me through everything. It happened about 8 years ago but i still get teary eyed if I think about him or look at his pictures! Lots of hugs!!!! Three boys--WELCOME! the more the merrier! Ok, you ALL sound like you have great sway plans. I will wait one cycle--that's what my OB said and I have totally been off diet (I just ate a plate load of fried potatoes). Starting Monday I am going to hardcore diet and continue with supps and hopefully AF will show up in the next few days or weeks??? Not sure when I will actually ovulate after a MC?? Just wanted to say HI to everyone!!!

[Glittergirl]

Glittergirl- i cant believe your SIL named her girl the name you wanted, but most of all that she said she may as well use it as you never will, OMG, i so cant believe she said that. Im so sorry you had to go through that.
Yeah my whole family is still shocked about it! The thing is, she's my favorite SIL too!! She honestly saw NOTHING wrong with it and I am SO not confrontational so I said nothing. She even said Don't worry--if you ever have a girl you can still name her that! Anyway DH does not like the name anymore and my sisters want to make me feel better so they said it sounds like a stripper name anyway LOL! I think they're right!

[Glittergirl]

What type of douche did your mom use? LOL personal question...hope you don't mind me asking:) Your sway is close to mine...frequent release, sylk, replens, plus benadryl on the days leading up and through O.
And I have to say...I'm so sorry that your SIL stole your name:( How terrible.
Hi Doula--I was using distilled water with several drops of lemon or lime. I tested the pH and it was always in the low 4 or even 3. I used it an hour or two before DTD and the next morning--afraid to douche right after and wash away all the swimmers. My mom said she used store bought ones--I bought a pack at walmart and the pH was also like in the 4s then I used it and re-filled the empty bottles so I'm sure store bought is fine as long as it's not baking soda douche!!! Mom doesn't remember when she used it as far as before or after--she just said that was a way to stay clean and she used them often...it was the 80's LOL! I guess now we know better and it's not really healthy to use.

[3boys]

Zanacal, I'm sooo glad you said that because DH has a big one and I'm sure that is one of the reasons I have my own set of three boys! It's like at home IUI lol.

GG again so sorry for your miscarriage. Good luck on starting the diet again!

[praying4princess]

Wow, Ive missed alot the last couple of days!! Lol Its usually so quiet on here lately! Well you girls sound like you have your sways down pat and they sound really good!! Ive still been on this stinking diet...with a few cheats here and there but not bad! And pH has been staying low! I finally got my Replens and tested it...it seemed to had done fine! I did like 1/2 tube the other morning and checked pH that afternoon and it was 4! Still waiting on my Sylk to come in the mail so I can test it real quick too! No signs of approaching O yet...CBFM reading low and barely a faint line. So Im just a waiting!

Thank you! Yeah I agree....I wouldn't be using something like this unless it was for TTC PINK. It's really not great for your vaginal flora. Thank you for the recipe! LOL!

Hi Wishing!! :wave: I am good thanks!! I have been so busy I havent been able to get on here much this last week! We went to pick vegetables at our local farm and I have been SO busy canning and freezing and making jam!! Everything that I CANT eat!!! Lol Its torture!! But I did try out the salsa I made and ate half the jar!! :suprise::bigsmile: Lol But it was sooooo good!! Oh well! Surprisingly I have not been stressed aboutmy sway this month, just waiting for it to come along! I have a good feeling for some strange reason! :wink: Maybe God thinks June would be a wonderful month to conceive a baby!! My husbands family is getting very suspicious from all of our posts and comments to each other on Facebook!! His sister posted today that shes been wondering what were up to and hiding!! Hahahah!! Ill never tellll!!! :rofl:

[Glittergirl]

I think AF is coming....had some brown cm today so I'm really excited!! I barely started to do a loose diet yesterday. All day I have had coffee, nitrite-free turkey on lavash bread and tahini sauce on it, and peppermint tea. I'm still so hungry and I keep drinking water and tea to fill me up. Do you think I should start my sway this cycle? Anyone experience a MC then start the next cycle? i'm getting so nervous and I know I haven't been on supps or diet long enough...should I wait til next cycle???:nails: thanks girls!!!

[praying4princess]

Well I got my first Hi day on my CBFM today and my Sylk came in!!! I tested out the Sylk and it did just fine YAY!! So its looking like our attempt will be Saturday or Sunday! I plan on doing all I can to lower pH from the inside through diet and feeding DH lots of cranberry....and using Replens and Sylk for our attempt! I am going to do my best not to check pH after DTD, seeing as how I freak out and want to add more gel!! I think that may be a big reason why were not pregnant yet! So Im just going to put my trust in God that He helps all of this work and we conceive...hopefully pink..this month!!!

[zanacal]

Good luck P4AP!

[Out of the Blue]

Hi all! FF finally confirmed my O date so I'm now 3DPO. I thought I'd O'ed earlier but I think my body just went "PSYCH!!!!". I'm reaaaaaalllllllly hoping this is our month since I've recently been struggling w/the diet and I'm not feeling healthy at all. BFP can't get here fast enough!

P4P - YAY for SYLK! I never used my Hanna for this attempt b/c it just started to stress me out too much. I just went the Sylk and Aci-jel route and hoped for the best...I think June is your month!

GG - Not sure when the best time is to TTC again but if it was me, I'd "get on the stick!" lol. Sending you lots of good vibes, Mama!

[praying4princess]

Well apparently our attempt is going to be TODAY!!!! I got a BFP OPK a while ago...surprise!! So DH is on his way home to knock this one out of the park!!! LMBO! Oh well with timing!! Ive done all I can and pH is good and God is in control fom here!!! FX!!! Whoop whoop, here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you get your BFP Out of the Blue!!!!!!!!! Thank you Zanacal!!

[DoulaMama]

WOOHOO!! :luck::luck::luck::luck::luck::luck::luck::luck:
Have fun P4P!! LOL! I wish we had a naughty BD smiley ;) HAHAHAHA!

[wishing on a star]

Lots of luck p4p enjoy your attempt lol xxx

[3boys]

Good luck p4p... Happy baby dancing!

[praying4princess]

I know, we totally need a naughty smiley!!!! Lol Oh I enjoyed it all right!! ;) Ok guys....question...I laid here for a little over 2hours and I had to pee sooo bad and when I went a bunch of stuff came out!! Do you think I lost of of my swimmers or do you think that was just the actual semen and that the sperm were already on their journey?? Now Im nervous that I dumped them all out! :/ Oh and I did another OPK then also andit was negative! The line had faded slightly.......

[Glittergirl]

Out of the Blue--hope to hear your BFP and P4P GOOOOOD LUCK! Oh yeah, I do plan on "getting on the stick" OutoftheBlue LOL! I may go ahead and just try a half-ass attempt! LOL!

We really DO need a naughty smiley! Regarding the swimmers, I think you're probably okay actually...They're pretty quick. Sending you lots of :luck:

[Out of the Blue]

Thx, GG. Sending you lots and lots of :luck:, half-assed or not! FX for you!

[praying4princess]

Well.....we DTD again last night! Hehehehe ;) I figured I was somewhere around O+12 so I had him just shoot a little bit and then pull the rest out!! Sorry TMI!!! Lol I just figured it cant hurt.....what will be, will be!! My pH was so great yesterday...3 all day, after DTD the day before...so I figured hey lets just add a little to make up for what I dumped out!! I figured if I did dump them out then it cant hurt....or if our first shot did work then hey thats fine too!!

Its looking like our first shot ended up the morning of O day!!! Oh well, for some reason I dont care!! God is going to give me whatever He has planned for our family! Hopefully it will be a healthy, bouncing baby girl with long brunette curls!! Lol And I am QUITE pleased at my pH after DTD!! Yesterday it was a 3 after DTD (the day before) and this morning its 4 after DTD last night!! Id say thats pretty darn good! I even tested the pH of my urine yesterday and today to see how acidic my body was and it was a 4 and 5...5 this am Im assuming because I did have a little salsa last night! Ooopsy! But Ill take that!

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Your PH was great P4P. Sounds like you had a great attempt - hope the 2ww goes quickly for you.

[praying4princess]

Thank you Pickles, me too!!!!! :nails::bigsmile:

I know this sounds completely nuts, but my boobs were sore last night and this morning! My boobs never get sore....and SURELY they wouldnt be this soon!!! Lol The only time they were sore recently was a couple months ago after our first attempt, that one day! I feel like a crazy obsessed person just thinking it to myself:beer:, but me boobs are never sore!! Im sure its from something else but I thought it was ironic!! :p

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - Your pH was stellar! WTG!!! :cheer: Can't wait to hear BFP results in a few wks!!!

[3boys]

P4P sounds like a great attempt hun. And if you do get a BFP then you can be even more pleased with your sway as you kinda jumped and dumped which we all know sways girl. I hope to be hearing that BFP from you soon! Fxd!

I'm on CD12 no signs of ovulation yet!

[praying4princess]

Ha, I just counted to see when 9 dpo would be for me, so I can start testing.....Fathers Day!!!! Maybe its a sign from God!! That would be an awesome gift for the sweet hubby!!

So how are you guys doing?? Anyone having any symptoms? Im only 4 dpo so I havent had any!

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - that would be PERFECT!!! Are you kidding me??? You're already 4dpo and no symptoms yet? At 4dpo, I was ravenous, tired and already starting to feel the baby kick, lol. This a.m. I got really bad cramps/backache and then later on saw that my cm was a tiny bit brown. I'm soooooo hoping this is implantation and not AF. I think I'm testing on Fri (11dpo) but I'm scared b/c I don't want to see a plain white test staring back at me. Hoping your sweet bean is heading toward it's nice little hang-out for the next 9 mos...:HH:

[Out of the Blue]

BTW, P4P, come and join us in the 2ww section!!!

[praying4princess]

Well, I have been really tired the last couple of days but I dont want to read too much into it....maybe im just tired!!! Even though I slept until 8:45 this morning and 9:40 yesterday!! Thats pretty late for me! I have had just some very light cramps here and there, but again that could be from anything! Im scared to get excited, because like you I dont want to see that BFN test staring back at me! ;( But we DTD twice this month, both it seems, within 12 hours of O (before and after)!! I hope you get your BFP this month too!!! God willing...I know He has a plan, I just hope its this month!! Im ready for the fun and excitement to begin!!!!

[Glittergirl]

Good Luck girls! You both are so strong...I was testing from about 5dpo!!! I still can't decide if we should start this month. Af just finished up and I'm gonna start using OPK again. I need to wet my hanna again and get it calibrated. UGH I thought I was SO done with this. I kinda don't want to sway and just try to get preg but I'm afraid I'll regret not trying. OK keep me updated!!!!

[praying4princess]

Glitter: do whatever feels right in your heart!!!

Ok was anyone else gassy?? Lol I have been gassy the last 2 days and I read yesterday that is one of the top early signs....one side of my nose was stopped up last night! AGAIN, not going to read too much into it! I dont want to gets my hopes up. But I was wondering if any of you pregnant girls were gassy like that!!??

[wishing on a star]

ME ME ME lol not a great thing to admit to i know but its true!!! I also felt really bunged up kinda like i had a cold, that may just be a conincidence. Cant wait for you to test sunday im so impatient!! A really good friend of mine went HT and just got a positive 9 dpo so im waiting for the third, praying its you mwah xxxxxx

[swish]

Hi! This was my first and number one symptom with both of my DSs, it was the reason I was so convinced I was pregnant the second time round- good luck!!!!!

[praying4princess]

Lol I know Glitter...not a popular symptom amongst the pregos huh!!!! :D But I havent eaten anything of course to make me gassy! Ive had some dull cramping the last few days....I have a very very dull hurt in my throat when I swallow but maybe my throat is just dry from all the CL!! Who knows!! Thanks Swish, Im hoping this is my first symptom!! Hoping this was our magic month!!! Im just so scared to get my hopes up and be disappointed!

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - not that I'm actually preggers but I did have gas around 3-7dpo. Nothing now...wish I had some real symptoms but sadly not a lot going on. My nails are freakishly strong now, though, lol. Here's a fun symptoms link: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/symptoms-by-day-past-ovulation.php
You click on whatever dpo you want and it gives you top symptoms and percentages.

This is also cool...the 70+ signs/symptoms of pregnancy...You can click on each symptom and it gives you percentages too.
http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/all-early-pregnancy-symptoms.php

[praying4princess]

Thats what Ive been looking on too!! I saw it on here somewhere! I saw on there that gassiness is one of the top early symptoms! I just dont want to read too much into it! Ive been gassy the last 3 days now! Im in the sames dpo as u were when u were gassy...Ill be 7 dpo tomorrow!

[Out of the Blue]

Ill be 7 dpo tomorrow!

YAY! Almost testing time for you!!! Do you remember when you got a BFP w/your boys? I just looked in my notes yesterday and realized I didn't get a BFP (however very faint) until 12dpo w/DS2 and I have no clue w/DS3 as I was sick by the time I tested and probably 5 wks then.

I'm trying to keep my hopes up but I got a BFN this a.m....WAAAAHHHH. My dentist asked my Wed. if I was preggers...very strange since I'm now only 110lbs and no hint of a belly (or butt for that matter, lol). It just really threw me off and I probably turned 9 shades of red. :suprise: I'm pretty sure if I have a neg by Dad's day, I'll be out but that's okay...we gave it a good first try.

[praying4princess]

With DS1 I didnt find out until the day of my missed period! I had no idea then that you could find out earlier!!! And with DS2 Im not when it was exactly....I had went to the doctor and he said you should you should be able to know by this friday...and I got a BFN both urine and blood test, then I tested the next friday because I had been SO tired and got my BFP!! So I dont remember if that one was around the day of my missed period too! I think I had my O way off though at that time! Im nervous about testing on Fathers day now, because I dont want to get a BFN and ruin the day being disappointed....even though I know thats still way early!

How many dpo are you now Out of the Blue?

[praying4princess]

Wow Wishing, youre almost in your 2nd Tri already!!!! Gosh it is going by fast!! I hope its me very soon! Are you feeling better?? Decided on any names yet?! Heck we were talking about names 5 months ago!! Lol

[wishing on a star]

HI hunny nice to catch you on here at the same time. Got my scan monday so excited, hoping to get a good nub shot so i can post it on here and obsess for the nest few weeks lol. MS is a bit better in the day but still there at night, hoping its gonna pass real soon. I know i cant believe how fast its gone either, it will be you turn soon hun dont u worry!!! I do have names but nothing im actually in LOVE with, struggling to think of a ds name but hoping i wont have too, only joking ive kinda come tp terms with the fact this is probably another ds then at least i wont get my hopes up too much although its hard not too.
Do u think you will test sunday? xx

[Emmy2012]

Good luck P4P!

Hope you get a good nub shot on Monday Wishing! Good Luck....sending pink thoughts!

[praying4princess]

Thank you Emmy!!!

Wishing~ yeah I guess Im going to test Sunday, just nervous about it of course!! It would be really great to atleast get a very faint positive! We have a ds first name picked out..Grayson...well and I like Crimson but DH likes Grayson too atleast! We have to pick a middle name that starts with a B because the other 3 boys all have B middle names a G last name! Weve havent decided on a girl name yet. I had liked Madelyn Grace...and wanted to call her Madi-Grace but DH doesnt like Madelyn....he picked out Layla, which has kind of gorwn on me....I could always call her Layla-Grace! I figured Grace would be the perfect middle name because it would be by the "grace" of God that we got our baby girl!! Nothing definite with a girl name yet though! Good luck at your scan, I hope you get a good shot! Let us know as soon as u post it!

[Out of the Blue]

Wishing - so excited for your scan!!! Sending you pink vibes!!!

Emmy - thinking you'll be our next BFP!!!

Hey, GG....just giving you a shout-out!!! :HH:

P4P - Go ahead and test on Dad's Day but please, please don't get too down if you don't get a positive. Chances are that you won't by then but who knows. You're in the running and I'm getting June vibes from you so I don't want you to have a sad Dad's Day b/c you didn't see a BFP. I'm sending you lots of luck in hopes that a sweet second line appears on Sunday for you & DH.

I'm 11dpo today. BFN this a.m. but I swear I'm preggers, lol! I've taken naps in the afternoon the last 2 days (I never take naps!), my head hurts, I'm getting hot-flashes at night, bachache & more cramps, sooooooooo thirsty and my nails are like they are when I'm preggers. Maybe it's all psycho-somatic but I've got a lot going on right now but w/out a BFP to back it up. I'm wondering if the water I drink (electrolite enhanced) is dorking w/the tests. I've already drank 4L today! I'm trying not to drink anymore water but I'm soooooo thirsty. I'm probably not going to test again until Sunday and try to lay off the H2O and cut out the electolite enhanced stuff for sure.

[praying4princess]

Blue~ it could quite possibly be all of the water affecting your test! That morning my OPK was dark then faded then dark again, I had only drank 1/2 a bottle of water that morning but I think it diluted my urine enough to affect that one test! Sometimes even when I get up at 2 in the morning to go to the bathroom my urine is still pretty clear!!

Thank you for the encouragement! I will try not to let it ruin my day! I may just test without DH knowing so hes not bummed if I get a BFN!! I have had a weird thingy....not sure if its a symptom....but most food has been sounding really gross to me yesterday and today!! Only certain things sound good, and you know being on this diet usually ANYTHING sounds good! Last night I had a no-no but it was the only thing that sounded good....2 corn muffins with tomato jam!! And Ive been craving tomato jam ever since! Lol Dang now Im wanting some again now that Ive talked about it!!

[praying4princess]

Well ladies BFN this morning...no special Fathers Day present! Its ok, Im going to test everyday and maybe Ill get my BFP sometime this week!! You know, Im not sure if this is a symptom, but Ive been getting a little nauseaus when I dont eat.....this morning and yesterday morning I have felt a little sick and yesterday around lunch time when I hadnt ate yet. M/S doesnt usually hit me until around 6 weeks...like I said it could be something else! Here I go again trying not to get my hopes up!!

[wishing on a star]

Lots of luck hunny its still early so you have every chance of still getting your BFP!!! Dont wanna get your hopes up but thats another sympton i had nausea when i didnt eat, and it started right around the time i got my BFP. I didnt get sickness with ds2 till 7 weeks so this was early for me!
Will be checking back tommorow xxxxxx

[praying4princess]

Thank you Wishing!! I hope so! When I gave DH his present today, his hat had came in a pink bag so I just left it like that and wrapped it with his other stuff....when he opened it he said "why is my hat in a pink bag"...I said "thats what it came in"...he said " oh I thought mama was trying to tell me something!" I said no, I wish! He thought I was trying to tell him I was pregnant! I felt bad, that I couldnt say yes....but maybe soon!! God willing!!

I hope its a symptom Wishing! Its hard to skip breakfast and wait until 11 or 12 to eat when you feel like that! So Ive just been trying to occupy myself for a little longer and then eating something. Im just scared to go ahead and eat breakfast if Im not pregnant...I dont want to get out of the habit of skipping! My tummy has been crampy again today, but more noticeable.

[praying4princess]

My tummy has been crampy today, and I just had some dark blood mixed with some creamy colored cm when I went to the bathroom!!! I got it on a q-tip to show my DH....kinda gross yes, but I needed some evidence! I feel like Ive been sounding like Im making this stuff up!! Lol I started to even take a picture of it just to have proof! Anyways.....I was just letting you girls know the latest! I only have 2 tests left so I guess I better go buy some more so I can test every morning! BFP..here I come!!!!

[stephanie]

hey glittergirl,
i have a question how long are you supposed to start the diet before TTC? i dont know if i can be this strick long term haha
like what is loose ig diet?? and how long should i do the really strick diet?

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - That's so exciting! I just know you're going to get a June BFP!!! I can't wait! I'm thinking BFPINKP thoughts for you!!!

FF pushed my O date back over the weekend so I'm going crazy! I'm now 12dpo...I tested yesterday and I thought maybe I saw something but it's probably all in my head. DH is always the final verdict and he said he "almost" saw something. Poor DH is riding this rollercoaster w/me but he's doing a great job. I'm going to the store to pick up a different type of test today and then test tomorrow. All the other symptoms are still going strong w/a few others now as well but no BFP to back them up so I'm just slowly going insane, lol. I want to count myself out and move on but I just "feel" preggers...

[Out of the Blue]

hey glittergirl,
i have a question how long are you supposed to start the diet before TTC?

6 wks is the official answer. GL to you...Hope you'll join us!

[praying4princess]

Thank you Blue!!

I have not been able to sleep at all the last 2 nights, I wake up a million times and toss and turn all night.....last night I woke up with I guess indigestion...Im nt sure because Ive never really had it....I burped several times and then my tummy felt nauseaus all night and still does this morning and Im a little dizzy. I had a tiny bit more blood this morning when I went to the bathroom...test was a BFN....but if Im still or just implanted then its still too early. I guess Im going to go ahead and eat something for breakfast because I dont feel so good and Im supposed to go pick blueberries in a bit and it is SO hot here!!

[DoulaMama]

Thank you Blue!!

Woohoo!!! I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!! It totally sounds like this is it! :HH: :luck:

[Glittergirl]

Hi Girls! Sorry I've been away for a while. P4P I came online to check for the BFP news! sounds like implantation bleeding! Wishing, I can't believe you are almost 2nd trimester! that's awesome and it went by fast....for me anyway. Stephanie--you are supposed to start the diet about 6 weeks prior. By loose diet i mean I'm not going to be strict on the IG diet that really doesn't allow fruits or veggies. I'm trying to stay on a low protein diet with lots of veggies and fruits and lots of calcium and continue to try to lose weight.
Well girls, we had our attempt last night-wasn't planned--we were in the mood but I think I will O in the next day or two. this is my first cycle since the miscarriage so who knows if I'm ovulating on time. will keep ya posted!

Fingers are crossed for you Glitter!!! I hope that you get your O on time...2 day cut-off is great!! You guys should come over to the 2ww June thread!(I'm 3 dpo right now!! Yippee!) It's so much fun obsessing over "symptoms"! LOL Take Care!

[praying4princess]

I pray it is girls!! For all of us!! Ive had a little more bleeding today.....I just keep getting scared that its a sign of AF! If my body is sticking to a 28 day cycle...which it has been lately...then AF is due Saturday and I usually have brown spotting for several days prior. But this is actually red blood so praying its implantation! I went and bought more tests today so I can test all week! Im 10 dpo today!

Good luck Doula and Glitter!!!!!

[praying4princess]

BFN again this morning! (11 dpo) :( Im going to keep watching to see if the spotting continues, it seems to have stopped overnight....if it does then Im sure its from AF. But I know it could still be early for me.......so we will see!

Has anyone else tested??

Sorry for BFN but july may be our month LOL....I say that every month! I have had +opk yesterday and today w right side O pain. So is official O today? Sorry, I don't chart and all that just go by EWCM and opk. we DTD Sunday night so if O is today that gives me a 2 day cutoff? Not sure if I will get pregg this time around. I think I need 1 day cutoff. we shall see in two weeks.

So exciting!!! You're pretty much in the 2ww now! From what I've heard, you could have O pains before, during or after you O so you can't really tell. Got my FX for you!!!

[praying4princess]

Well what do you know....BFN! I have a feeling Im out this month...AGAIN. I thought for sure this would be the month. I mean we DTD twice at O time for goodness sake!!

[wishing on a star]

Your only 12 dpo hun you never know your still in with a good shot !! I never got bfp's with my first two pregnancys until id missed af. How long are your cycles normally?
xx

[praying4princess]

they have been 28 days.......but I always have some brown spotting several days before AF, and I have been having some since Sunday so Im guessing its not from implantation!! Its that ugly red-headed witch casting her evil spell on me!!:mad: Its not much brown cm...just a little when I wipe but Im sure my lucks up! Just have a feeling..... :sad: Thank you Wishing! :hugs:

[Glittergirl]

Aww sorry, it's so frustrating, I know...but worth the pink bundle!!!

[wishing on a star]

P4P sending you lots of hugs hunny, i know how frustrating this waiting game can be! Wish there was more i could say but know i am thinking and praying for you, when the time is right you will get your BFP, i pray it is soon xxxx

[Out of the Blue]

So sorry, P4P...:HH:

Man....what does a girl have to do to get knocked-up around here, lol??? We all need some pink summer luck! I won't O again until 2nd week in July....and DH may be out of town then. ARG!!!

[praying4princess]

Well its all over....the red-head sang! Looks like this month decided to be a 25 1/2 day cycle. Its like my body is plotting against me!! Ive got to figure out something else....somethings not working.

Blue~ it looks like Ill be Oing somewhere around the 5th or 6th, so I guess we're around the same time!

Thank you for the nice thoughts girls!! Me and DH are just trying to figure out what we can do differently. I think hes wanting to change methods.

[3boys]

So sorry P4P, sending you ((hugs))

[DoulaMama]

Oh man:( :gloomy: I'm so sorry P4P. This totally sucks! Blue is right! What does it take to get pregnant over here in pink world???! I hope you get your long awaited for BFP soon. (((hugs)))
xoxo

[ladybug]

I'm so sorry p4p...The waiting game is the worst...believe me I totally understand that....I pray you get your BFpinkP very soon.....It will all be worth it in the end!

[praying4princess]

Thank you girls! Yes it will all be worth it in the end....just wish it would hurry up and begin! But I just have to trust God has a reason and a plan....I just keep reminding myself of that. Dh is ready to make some changes to the plan. Hes wanting to DTD more than once and ON O day (which we did pretty much do it on O day this time). Im just not keen on DTD more than once because all those sperm will be in there waiting! Not sure what Ill do this time.

[Out of the Blue]

P4P - I think we'll be switching up things too. It was cake getting preg last time...I thought for sure we would have knocked it out of the park this time...:sad: Everything was lining up for me...the moon, biorhythms, etc. Now for the rest of the year, none of that stuff will line up at all. I don't think that stuff is all that important but it just gave me a good feeling knowing we were doing it under auspicious times. I'm sending this group lots and lots of good thoughts in hopes that next shot is it for ALL OF US! XXX

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

Sorry P4P to hear this month is over. Its so hard each month getting your hopes up and then being let down. I know what you mean about trying something different - i personnally wasnt able to get pregnant using all the girl sway stuff so i ended up dropping bits like sylk and sudafed and got my BFP that month. I watched a programme about if you dry up all of your cm then the sperm have very little chance, so thats why i chose to drop it. I know that is the point for ttc girl, but if the sperm aren't surviving to get to where they need to be then you have no chance of getting preg let alone getting a girl. I really hope next month works out for you, and to all you other lovely ladies.

[praying4princess]

Thank you Pickles!! Thats what I was thinking of doing too, is dropping the Sylk, and Im going to try to work out the replens to where I insert it far from our attempt. Me and DH also discussed releasing just a little further inside......I think last time it was so shallow they probably sat there in the canal and died from it being so acidic (because they dumped out 2 hrs later, so mustve been TOO close to the opening)! I read on a forum yesterday that sperm cant live longer than about an hour in the canal when its so acidic....I think that may have been the case. Not sure but this is what were going to try this month! Im just going to do as much as I can the next 12 days or so to make my body acidic from the inside instead of worrying so much about the vajayjay!! Last time after our attempts, my pH was very low....obviously too low...but I didnt bother with it after either attempt so I guess it was from the replens and sylk mixed with already low V pH. Alright Im rambling...I just woke up and am still sleepy!!

[Out of the Blue]

Pickles!!! Hi! Hope you're doing well! :HH:

P4P - I'm also thinking about dropping the Sylk. We used A LOT!!! I am thinking I'll put some Aci-jel in early in the a.m. and then DTD at night w/just a bit of Sylk. That's interesting to know that sperm die so quickly in the canal! So much to think about...unfortunately I have sooo long to think about it too, lol. Come on, July!

[Glittergirl]

I'm still in 2ww but not thinking about it that much....last time I just wanted to get preg, this time I'm just hoping it sticks! I'm so blah about all this swaying...I want to just get preg, but at the same time I wanna know I did all that I could! I agree though, I stopped doing some of the things like only BD one time--I just don't think I can get preg like that....I also didn't use any lubes before or after. If I get a BFN I'm gonna bd everyday from 2 days before O all the way through O! Good Luck girls!!!

[Out of the Blue]

Hi, all. GG, I'm so anxious to see if you've got a little bean in there!!! I'm trying to talk my ovaries into popping out an eggie or 2 before DH leaves on his trip on the 6th. My cycles are still ridiculously long and unpredictable since AF just came back a few mos ago. I honestly thought I would have another baby in my arms by now but my body took a bit longer than expected. I really, really want to get preg on the next cycle or at least by August so hopefully my body will cooperate. We'll be re-evaluating our sway and will do significantly less Sylk & Aci-jel, although using less is scary, lol.

I'm sending us all lots of positive thoughts so we're all preggers with PINK by August!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[Glittergirl]

OUT OF THE BLUE--I hope your ovaries hurry up and pop out an egg! I've totally been off the diet during the 2ww. I'm kinda hoping I'm not preg this cycle cause I just got over stomach flu and I've lost 3 pounds!! :happy:Yipee...and that sways pink right? Just saying....I didn't think my sway was very good this month so I kinda want a do over. Oh well, I guess I really jut want a baby at this point!!! Sending you lots of pink dust:ttcgirl:--that I don't have!

[Out of the Blue]

GG - you're sweet...workin' on it! Hey, 3lbs is great but sorry you lost it being sick! Anxiously awaiting your BFP!!!

Princess, where are you at? Hope you're gearing up since it'll be O time in about a week, right?

Sending us all PINK THOUGHTS!

[Glittergirl]

:omg: BFP!!! I just went to test as I am bored today! It's so faint but I'm only 8dpo! Please pray it sticks! I can't go through another miscarriage as I did last month! I'm so worried as my sway was not as good as last time but I'm just praying for a sticky bean this time, I'm not picky:bigsmile:!!!!

[Out of the Blue]

Glitter, I just responded to your 2ww post....I am just over the moon w/ joy for you & I'm sending good thoughts your way. I'd post a bunch of smilies but I'm on my iPad & I always dork it up when I try. YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!

As much as I hate to push out getting preggers (UGH!!!), I want to hit it will all guns blazing. I've changed up my diet somewhat and I want to focus on my T levels as I think that's the one thing that I need to tweek. DH will most certainly be gone when I O and I also will have to get X-rays in the 2ww and I'm just having these feelings that it would be a boy if we somehow did it this time.

Im still here guys! Sorry just been busy trying to keep the boys occupied for the summer! I am 1dpo today! We DTD twice again this month....I didnt use Replens anywhere near our attempt this time! It had been about 4 days since I had used it...this time it made my pH jump up to 5!! So it took me a few days to get it down to 4...that was as low as I could get it for some reason! We used just a tiny swipe of Sylk. My pH was still at 4 the next morning after our first attempt so we DTD again that night and we BD through O!! Yeah, not good girl techniques but God will give me what He gives me right!! Plus I had the diet and pH going for me! After the second attempt pH was only at 5 so Im ok with that! Just hope some of the girls got in there!!! My birthday is this month so maybe thats what God was waiting on!! Lol

CONGRATS Glitter!!!!! I hope this one goes well for you and you get a healthy baby!!

[ladybug]

Glad your back p4p!!!! I am also 1 dpo.....We also dtd right thru O...I just really want a bfp this month....We are cycle buddies!!!!

I'm sooooo excited for you, Pickles! I know I keep waffling on whether or not I'll look at the 6wk scan (for which side the bean is on) or nub shots. I'm now thinking I won't look at anything and just have a surprise. Even though I waited w/#2 and he was a boy, it was still such an incredible moment finding out finally. Yes, I was really deflated but I was also really excited to finally have the sweet bean in my arms.

I know! DS#1 is now out of pre-school so it's me and the boys ALL summer long. Thank goodness for Sesame Street!

pH of 5 is not to shabby, sister! I really, really don't think BD through O is a bad thing. It's the diet, blood sugar and testosterone levels which really count, IMHO. I really think this was your best attempt yet. Bet God and your little girl just wanted to give you a nice B-Day prezzie! :cheer:

I think I'm O'ing today...actually got a nice line on my OPK yesterday which I haven't had since my first AF in March. Wouldn't you know it...the month I'm not TTC, I get nice lines...I think it's mostly b/c before I was worrying too much about things and now my body is well-rested. I need to stay "Zen" until I get a BFP. My mantra for the rest of my sway is "Let Go".

Hope you're doing okay, Glitter. Are you sick??? How about you, Wishing? Sending you both lots of love and good thoughts. :HH: :cheer: :awe:

Awe...thanks for the kind words. I actually got a +OPK today too! I've never gotten a + more than one day. Guess it's the Vitex, which I'm still taking...(???) I'm in a good place right now and just trying to chill until after I get my BFP...Then I can freak out, which I will be, lol. Hopefully Aug will bring you and I a nice set of PINK BEANS!!!

Thanks so much out of the blue. its tricky isnt it - finding out early that its another boy gives me time to get use to the idea, but then if they say girl, it will be really exciting for the next 20 wks getting girly things. or if i wait til birth then it could be a whole pregnancy of torture wondering, but then potentially a slight glimmer of disapointment at birth, followed by the elation/love of having a gorgeous baby again which i will love more than anything whether boy or girl. i think i'll have to find out at 20wks - i'll love another boy so much, it will just be that my dream of having a girl is gone - this baby is our last. I actually think im already getting use to the idea of 3 boys :)

[Out of the Blue]

Pickles, you’re going to laugh but today I’m now thinking I’ll definitely at least look at nub shots, lol. The “torture” as you described, waiting all your pregnancy to obsess over is what I kind of forgot about. :worry: Not sure if I can endure that again! I guess I’ve got plenty of time to decide since I’m not TTC again until Aug. This will be our last as well…I’m trying to have PINK thoughts but it’s hard. All I know is that w/2 kiddos, our family is not complete yet.

I will continue to send lots of PINK healthy bean thoughts your way, Pickles!

Today is 4 dpo... I had insomnia for the past 2 nights, creamy cm, bloated, and
pimples on my chin..... Hope it's a hood sign.

What about u p4p, any ips yet? When will u start testing?
I am thinking around 10 dpo. Lol.


My mom is doing great. Having me and the boys around has been so good for her.
Hope I get to share a BFP with her this month!!!

[praying4princess]

Turns out I O'ed on Fri...Cross-hairs on FF were not dotted this time so it looks like it really happened. YAY! We needed a break from TTC to recharge and there is too much going on right now so TTC this month just didn't feel right. I hated to push it out yet another month but I'm feeling like it was the best choice. Looks like I'm set to O again on the next full moon in Aug. Oh, well...We'll probably go for it anyway.

I'm so glad you're not feeling too sick w/this pregnancy, GG! That is really AWESOME!

We have surprise house guests coming for a week (in a few hrs!) so I'll probably be MIA for awhile. More sneaking around...

I'm hoping our 2ww Mamas (ladybug and P4P) get a BFP while I'm gone. XOXO to all of you!

[ladybug]

Thanks so much OOTB!!!!

Well today I had more creamy cm and nausea. Also little twinges and heavy feeling
in my uterus. I am only 6dpo and I tested with a free and I did get a very very faint line.
Its so faint that it doesn't show up on a pic and I have noone else to show so maybe I'm crazy and
have line o vision. I will keep testing now until I either get a BFP or af cause I a
Poas a holic. Lol
What's happenin with u p4p? Give us an update soon !

[praying4princess]

7 dpo today! Egh, I have had a headache for 2 days.....not sure if thats a symptom but sure is annoying!!! 2 nights ago, my boobs were a little sore when I took my bra off, then that night at 3:15 am my bladder was about to bust and so I rolled over and my right boob was pretty sore...felt like it was bruised.....yesterday morning they felt really weird and achy....today NOTHING!!! I have bouts of cm but its sparingly.....I had a bunch there for a few days. Oh and Ive had crampiness and sharp twinges too throughout the last several days.

Congrats on the possible faint positive Ladybug!!!!! Hope I get one very soon!!!

[praying4princess]

Thank you Blue!!!!! Have fun!!! Lol

[ladybug]

How are you doing p4p. Have u started testing yet! I hope and pray you get your BFP this month!!!!!


I am 8 dpo and the nausea is really bad, also have a dry mouth and throat.
I did not test again cause I have no test left and I was busy caring for my mom.
I will run and get some frers tomorrow and test again qt 10 dpo.

Good luck P4p. I really hope it's our month!

[Glittergirl]

[Three Gorgeous Pickles]

[praying4princess]

Yes I tested this morning...9 dpo....BFN, but thats ok, I know its still early! My mouth has been dry too Ladybug, except for right now because I had a little bit of tea this morning! Im still having some cramping and funny pains on my lower tummy....cm has been abundant again since yesterday. Boobs havent really been sore anymore...my nippys were a little sore but not bad. TMI, but we DTD this past weekend and it was very uncomfortable and kind of hurt...like he was hitting something in there!! I dont know if it was my cervix being low or what but I thought that was weird! I was like oh, oh, oh that doesnt feel right!!! LMBO

I dont know!! Still trying not to get my hopes up!!

[praying4princess]

Oh and Ive had an annoying headache off and on (mostly ON!) for the past 4 days!!

Well it's over for me!!! I had 2 really faint BFP this cycle and today I am spotting so I am thinking it was a chemical. It's really early to have my AF, not sure what's going on with me. I was disappointed this am but I will move forward and try again in Sept once I get back home with hubby.

Good luck p4p!!! I really hope this month is your month

[ladybug]

Thanks ladies. I was feeling really down yesterday but better today. I will happen, I just have to stay calm and relaxed. The worst part is the diet as u all know :)

[praying4princess]

Im so sorry again Ladybug :( I know how disappointed you feel. Just trust that God has a plan and time for you! I know I sound like a hypocrite, but I kept trying to remind myself of that (and my DH would be sure to remind me all the darn time Lol)!! God has a precious little baby just waiting to come join your family!!!

[praying4princess]

Ok girls, just wanted to update! My test this morning and is a little darker and more noticeable now! Lol My DH will be happy to hear! And temp is still up with AF due tomorrow! Ok I read in my book...."nobody does gas like a pregnant woman"....boy howdy are they right!!!! LMBO My stomach has been churning the last few days and it just wont give!! It is so bloated! I dont remember being like this with my other pregnancies......mayb its becase everythings still getting settled in there and hormones are changing so hopefully it will get better soon!! Lol
