my hubby has really taken to all the info on swaying and has even started telling friends and family that we are changing our lifestyles to get our son ( we have had all kinds of reactions !!) he has this saying now to get a boy " SEX , WEIGHTS & PROTEIN SHAKES ! :rofl:

[Cinss]

" SEX , WEIGHTS & PROTEIN SHAKES ! :rofl:

Love that! :)

[dloui128]

Good luck ladies :)

[afy]

Just another question girls I'm due to come off AF today and will DTD today and then again on Sunday.. And then on Tuesday which will be cd 9.. I'm prob due to Ovulate cd 12 but I wanted to ask with the clear blue opks when can we start testing and can we test before 10am.. I know the ladies say the LH surge isn't apparent in your urine till later on?

[Pearl327]

Good luck everyone.

Afy I only got a +OPKS with the clear blue digital OPKs using FMU. So maybe give it a go if it suits you

[xxxx]

I tested inthe morning and got -ve using CBDM. I usually get +ve from 5pm.

[ELP]

Best of luck Blue crew xxxxxxx

[afy]

Thanks pearl.. Did you sometimes check twice? Like morning and evening times, I have a CBFM but last cycle the opk and CBFM gave diff readings as to when I'm gonna ovulate so this time I will go with my first +opk!

I'm going to try and DTD every 2days from today and squeeze as many as 3-5 round about the time I'm due to get my +opk.. How is that?

Lol doesn't actually feel real I'm physically going to TTC although I'm so neutral and be so happy whoever decides to join our family!

[dreamsofxy2013]

Hi everyone,
I just joined this site and getting ready for our 1st attempt for blue in the next couple of days! Waiting for that +opk smiley at the moment, which will hopefully show up sometime this weekend. I have been on the HE diet for several weeks now, but DH is following the IG diet ( I had to drop out due to side effects) and we are counting in the other sway factors too. GL to all of us and fx we get our BFP's this month!

[a&jmummy]

Welcome and good luck

[Pearl327]

!

I was checking 1st thing in the morning and when I got home from work. I had just been testing once per day in the months before and never got a + but I think I have a short surge going by my other body signs of ov.

Your timing of DTD seems perfect to me.

[Cinss]

Just remember timing is not that important, as long as you get a couple good attempts in your fertile window, all the other sway factors are much more influential.

Welcome dreamsofxy best of luck!

[afy]

Ahh I see I think I will deff check twice.. To be on the safe side I do get all the ovulation signs but I don't know if I have a shorter LH surge..

I just can't wait for the attempts to be over and to see the result! Quite nerve racking

[afy]

Welcome dreamsofxy best of luck!

Hey cinns thanks for the reminder I know timing isn't a factor I just don't want to have too many releases before my fertile windows. I know it's really different from the pink swayers and need to be doing atleast 7-10 days of releasing!

How did was the diet for you guys in your 2WW? And how did you slowly drop the supps?

[Cinss]

My diet stayed the same in the 2ww and i wasn't on a lot of supps just green tea, protein shakes, fish oil and prenatal, as soon as i got a bfp i stopped everything but the prenatal. Atomic recommends weaning off slowly though.

[afy]

Yea I'm on alot more supps I don't know if I need to wean off brewers yeast or wheatgrass!
TMI but I just had my first attempt not long ago !!! We just let it happen no protection no nothing I'm so nervous as I haven't let DH release like that Inside since I was pregnant! By the way Im just letting DH release inside of me to increase sPerm numbers I'm not due to ovulate till another 6 days.. I didn't prop up my hips I don't know how
Important that is or isn't?

[Cinss]

Just lying flat or propping up hips for 15 mins after your attempts in the fertile window should be fine. And dont start weaning until you get a BFP.

[Huds]

Hey afy.. I asked atomic the same quest.. She said its ok to have brewers yeast and wheatgrass tabletz. But i think i want to wean them off when i get a bfp as im spending so much on vits already

[afy]

Huds tell me about it! I just hate having to keep up with taking them all I'm all honesty there have been times when I haven't taken em all like brewers yeast and wheatgrass i have unintentionally skipped! I just hate having to go out and buy em so I stacked up lol

When are you going for your attempts?

[onthepond]

Just finished AF yesterday and the BD commenced last night :) Currently CD 6, and just like you AFY, we plan to BD every other day through OV. Once I get positive OPK will go for 3 attempts and then the waiting begins...Honestly just want to get preg again, though love the idea of having a boy. Not doing a lot to sway, though now have waited through 2 cycles after MMC so hopefully that helps. Just green tea, fish oil, folic acid and prenatal for me. Fingers crossed for all of you! Send any extra luck our way!

April has GOT to be our month ladies - hoping for many BFP's to celebrate!

Cant wait to come off these sups! Im on cd11.. Just waiting for the opk to go +. We have dtd 3 times since af. Getting pregnant was so much easier when i got my girls lol. What cd are u?

[Adoptapom]

Hey guys- I'm hoping to ttc in the next few months, again. :think:

Question- if I try the hcg diet, how long would I need to wait afterwards until I should try to sway boy?

Wow your exactly on the same cycle day as me! I DTD yesterday and it felt so weird to have him release at first we were hesitant lol. Wishing you allllll the best onthepond I can't imagine how hard it must be after the miscarriage but lets hope April is a month for all of us!!

When are you due to ovulate roughly?
I know what you mean about just getting pregnant I'm the same
Right now I'm so broody I wouldn't mind what gender but boy would be a bonus!

Is this your first month TTC? I can't wait to kind of relax on the carb and protein thing I mean I will follow that as much as I can but just not have to worry too much! Have you been inserting preseed in? I'm going to have to do that before bedtime tonight LOL I don't want DH catching me he might freak out lol

[afy]

Btw when were told we can use a Clean finger when using preseed does that mean a clean finger of preseed and Inserting it inside? Lol sorry tmi but I needed to get it straight

[Cinss]

Btw when were told we can use a Clean finger when using preseed does that mean a clean finger of preseed and Inserting it inside? Lol sorry tmi but I needed to get it straight

I think clean finger means no baking soda or whatever on it. You can insert the preseed with the applicators they come with, on your finger or put it on DH before he enters.

[afy]

Thanks cinns, I was just Hoping they don't run out I have 9 applicators yet loll can we not sterilize them after use?

[Cinss]

Thanks cinns, I was just Hoping they don't run out I have 9 applicators yet loll can we not sterilize them after use?

Yes of course you can wash and reuse them.

Hey afy this is my second month. Yeh ive been using preseed everytime. Cinss suggested to clean the applicator after and then put it in semi boiled water. Ive been inserting the applicators at every attempt. Yehh me too, i cant wait to stop stressing over protein and carbs.

Goodluck ontheponds!!!!!!!

Last month my opk went pos at cd11. This month im on cd12, still waiting for +opk. I feel the same i just want to get pregnant now. That newborn smell.... I miss it lol.

[onthepond]

AFY, I am thinkng I will probably OV around the 13th or 14th (next Saturday or Sunday) so we plan to BD every other day starting CD 6 (this past Friday), then come Thursday or CD 11 we will BD Thurs (CD11), Fri (CD12), and Sat (CD13). I am hopeful to OV Sat or Sun so either we will be O-3, O-2, O-1 OR O-2, O-1, and OV.

I think that is our plan...how does that look ladies? Any advice? Obviously if we get a smiley face before Friday or Saturday we will move the plans up, but I am thinking that I won't get the smiley face until Friday or Saturday and if that is the case the plan above should be good, right? Again, though, really mild sway for us. I will keep doing green tea, 1 glass of grapefruit juice, fish oil, folic acid, and prenatal and we will use some preseed closer to attempts. REALLY REALLY just want a BFP.

AFY, what about you? What is your plan? Any other ladies with attempts this week?????

[onthepond]

GOOD LUCK Huds! Keep us posted. I have a weird, weird month last month, too with a smiley face 3 days earlier than anticipated. I definitely think my body was just OFF after the D&C so I am praying that this month I am back on track and see my BFP.

[Huds]

Thank u onthepond! U plan sounds great. Hate playing the waiting game.

Can we still drink green tea after ov... Or sud we stop?

[KikiCal]

I was told it's best to stop after ov but that may just be someone's opinion. Good luck everyone. I'm in the 2ww and I hate it. I am having my usual cramps near my ovaries so I don't take that as a good sign. Oh well what can you do.

Onthepond that sounds brilliant!! It's almost like mine I'm nt fussed about timing at all just doing every other day up until I see a +opk and do 3 more attempts I will try and get one day before ovulation atleast!

There's one thing I'm not too sure about basically I'm using CBFM aswell aswell as digital opk my AF came Sunday evening and according to the monitor cd 1 will be the following day..even though I had proper flow of blood Does that really matter? Because generally we class cd 1 as when we have full flow

[afy]

Ill do the Same too semi boil them! Awwww yes the newborn smell miss it too! Look at all of us trying to catch the egg lol..
I already DTD 2times I keep thinking I could be pregnant already lol but it's prob ovulations signs creeping up!

[BabyLee]

Hello ladies, how is everyone? So no AF yet. I have a doctors appointment Monday and I'm sure she will want to get me on something to get it started but I'd like to have some "natural ideas " to bring to my doctors.... So I thought I'd come here to you ladies who I trust with this kind of thing. Another thing I got this link in my parenting magazine for a free ttc kit, it includes LH tests a basil thermometer and two stages of ttc "all natural " vitamins. How do I go about making sure the vitamins are boy sway friendly? Thank you all so much in advance:running:

[KikiCal]

Now I'm having full on typical af cramps and I'm not due for 5-7 days. I had a really tough time with the HE diet this week because I was off work and went on a short trip. I ate a lot of sweets but no diet coke. Now I have three weeks to get back on track because I think af will be here pretty soon. So over ttc and it's only the second cycle, haha. Dd took 3 cycles so I'm hoping that's all this will be too.

[Princess of Pink]

Good luck everyone trying this month!!

Camping was fantastic, but 11 days with no shower is hell lol. Lucky for fresh water ******s and waterfalls.

I have no clue what is going on with my body!! Got a shock and got a +ve opk and peak on the CBFM on CD13...then -ve by CD14 (so we completely missed attempting at all this cycle, like no chance). I had every symptom you can get that I ovulated....creamy CM the next day. Went to see the RE today and he has given me 50mg clomid. Said my numbers look great, just looks like a slight hormonal imbalance. Then he does an u/s and says my lining is very thin for 8dpo, started saying maybe that was my problem. Then he went to my left ovary and said the large cyst was completely gone which was a big relief. Then to the right and he questioned me again when I ovulated and how I knew (btw I didn't temp at camping just digi opk and CBFM). Then he tells me I have a 14mm follicle on my ovary and he would say I am going to ovulate in a few days which explains my thin lining. WTF??? Says he is sure now that it's all my hormones being out of wack and the clomid combined with monitoring will be all I need to get knocked up. Might actually have a shot this month after all.....long cycle as I'm like CD21 or something today?? He did a blood test just to 100% confirm I haven't ovulated as he said there was a small chance it was a leftover remnant from and old cycle, so will know on wednesday...and gonna temp tomorrow to see if they give me a hint to where I am in my cycle.

I am so happy to have a plan now....TTC boy with clomid...that will be fun!!!

[KikiCal]

Sorry BabyLee, I have no advice but I'm sure some of the other ladies will. Good luck!! Welcome back PoP, it seemed like you were gone forever. Did you do the HE diet while camping. I'm going to be hard core HE until my next attempt in 3 weeks. Hope I can undo the horrible way I ate last week. Crazy news about your body but that's exciting. I will be going to a dr if I don't get pregnant this cycle because of difficulties ttc after my mc. Plus I'm impatient. I hope you get your bfp this month!

[Princess of Pink]

Yeah I actually find eating HE is easier when we go camping. I spend my whole day grazing on food and everything is carbs and protein. I did eat some chocolate and some of the kids candy easter egg....but the rest of my diet was perfect. Also still managed to do a fair bit of exercise and there is always lots of lifting to do. I carried my 7yr old back from the ****** everyday as my weight training lol.

[Adia]

Babylee, I use the heating pad to bring on AF once I have gotten a BFP. HTH and that is what you were asking about.

[Adoptapom]

What is the hcg diet?

You inject tiny amounts of hcg everyday and eat a really low calorie diet. It's supposed to trick your body to use up your fat because it thinks it is feeding a baby. Not sure if it works, just curious if it would affect how long you need to wait to sway.

[pooh_ob]

Baby lee you would need to find out all the ingredients in the vitamins. In general, things that increase fertility sway boy. But I'd be nervous without knowing for sure. Also, I think it would probably be cheaper to by your own lh tests (opk tests....that's what hormone they test for) and your own bbt thermometer.
PoP it did seem like you were gone a long time lol. Congrats on your new plan! So exciting and crazy to think you could still ov this month. Good luck!

ok if you do that i would say be back on the HE diet for 6 weeks before you sway again. You can lose weight on the HE if you limit carbs and just drink water instead of juice etc.

[Cinss]

Welcome back PoP :)

[afy]

Welcome back PoP!! Nice to have you back and it really did feel like you were gome forever, your camping trip sounded fun! And I really hope this is it with TTC, and you get your sticky blue bean!

I've a question, as I feel like I prob get my +opk on Friday so could I just do today and miss DTD tomorrow ? And do Thursday and Friday and Saturday if needed too! That would be O-3, O-1, O .. If I squeezed in an attempt on O-2 that wouldn't be too much releasing would it? Because that would be 4 days in a row.. Or is it best to wait till I see a HIGH on CbFM

[KikiCal]

I'm not sure Afy but I think skipping O-2 would be fine. My dh is in his 40's so we took a break from O-4 to O-1. I'm not sure if we were successful because I'm in the 2ww.

Has anyone ever experienced implantation cramping or had cramping that feels JUST like af cramping? I'm pretty sure I'm out because I've had these cramps for awhile and that usually means af is coming. I know I had cramps with dd but I can't remember what they felt like.

how many dpo are you? I had cramping and I would of bet money that AF was coming and was in complete shock when I got my bfp. In fact I test at 9dpo and got a bfn and then 11 dpo it was positive

[KikiCal]

I think I'm 9dpo but could be 8. My opk was positive in the middle of the night and I think I O'd later in the day on 3/31, although there's a chance it was 4/1. I guess I'm concerned because the cramps have almost been on and of since ovulation and that usually happens. For a couple days it was near the ovaries and now it's only happening occasionally but in the middle and some in the ovaries. It was really bad around 7dpo. I have noticed I get strange cramps the past few months. It almost seems like the lining is shredding if that makes sense? I'm just hoping those don't start then I really know I'm out. Thanks for the hope Dloui. I still have this feeling I'm out but I'd like to try to stay positive and not get my hopes up.

[afy]

DH and I are both in our 20's.. so im not sure if it makes a difference..today is CD9 we will DTD today, and i feel like Im starting to soften down there slightly sorry TMI but its one of my signs as I approach ovulation, as i get closer it opens up and gets more softer..

Kiki I experienced extreme Cramping with my DD like i was about to come on my periods any min i would even run to the bathroom thinkin AF arrived this was happening for a good few days and then lo and behold I never came on.. its so annoying because they are almost like period cramping and sometimes were just never sure.
dont count yourself out yet wait a few days before you test!

[Adia]

Has anyone ever experienced implantation cramping or had cramping that feels JUST like af cramping? I'm pretty sure I'm out because I've had these cramps for awhile and that usually means af is coming. I know I had cramps with dd but I can't remember what they felt like.

YES! I have had non-stop cramping lately. I am in the 2ww also and the cramping is just constant. I attempted in Jan and Feb also and had lots of cramping then too. I took EPO in Feb, which works well for me, and maybe that it why. Not sure!! Let's hope its a good sign!

[KikiCal]

It sucks that cramping can mean af or pregnant. Last month I had the same symptoms as I had with my mc in September so I was hopeful I was pregnant but it was a normal cycle. So now I can't even attempt to symptom spot. I'm hoping it mean something good for one of us!! When is af due Adia? Mine is either Sunday or Monday.

I would just continue every 2 days till you get the +opk then try to get 3 attempts in the following 24hrs.

[Cinss]

Its really hard to know what is early preg symptom and what is af. We become super sensitive while ttc and seem to notice every little twinge in that area where we may not have noticed while not ttc. The 2ww sucks!

[Plantain]

Magnesium can help alleviate cramping, esp if you are avoiding pain killers. I couldn't get through my cycles without it! Isn't it crazy how some people don't cramp at all? My mom thought girls were making cramps up cause she never had any. Wish she had passed that down to me!

[Pearl327]

on my BFP cycle which was my 3rd TTC I just assumed that every twinge was AF on the way and I didn't have any HPT's in the house until the evening after AF was due ( usually comes at 6am in the morning like clockwork) and I went out to the shop to buy one and got my BFP as soon as I got home.

I think I was just so much more relaxed that cycle as the other cycles before that I had spent hours analysing every symptom and spent a fortune on tests.

Pearl I can't believe you are already 27 weeks!!

I really try not to be a symptom spotter or an early tester. I get different symptoms every month so I couldn't even guess. The 2ww is horrible!

I think the BFP after AF is due is the best surprise, its happened to me with both of mine, i was completely floored and so so happy to see the line. The early testing and BFNs did my head in and made me depressed.

I so agree with you on that one cinns!! It was the same for me with my DD, I was still sat on the toilet as i was half asleep and didnt expect it to be anything just a false alarm, I was few days late with AF, then seeing that BFP made my jaw drop lol in total shock but over course overwhelmed with happiness!

I think ill be doing the same this time round wait for my AF..

[Pearl327]

Pearl I can't believe you are already 27 weeks!!

Time is really flying. I have quite a bump on me now and only 8 weeks left in work before I finish up until mid May 14. I am so excited to meet this little guy.

[KikiCal]

So I'm pretty sure I'm out. I have major af symptoms and negative hpt. I am not normally an early tester but I'm crazy this time around. It was negative at 10 or 11 dpo which is not good. Can everyone share their best baby making tips? I dtd 3 times within 24 hours after positive opk, took mucinex from cycle day 7, epo, heating pad, laid down for awhile after dtd. I'm on HE and we're both on supplements. Any other tips? I haven't been trying long but don't want to try much longer! Oh an dh and I both lift weights and I run for 30 min every other day.

[dloui128]

Have you tried Preseed?

[KikiCal]

Oh yeah. I used pressed and I even used the applicators. With dd I didn't use the applicators because I thought they were weird. I guess I just have to respect that you can do everything right (or close to right) and still not get pregnant.

I may not be the best one to give advice on this because it took me 10 months to get my BFP. But there was another lady trying at the same time as me and it was taking her a long time too, the cycle she fell pregnant she said she lay on her stomach after DTD, turns out her cervix or pelvis was tilted so it made it easier for the sperm to get in the right place.

I dont think there is anyting else you can do, every fertile couple only has something like a 25% chance of falling pregnant each cycle (boo) and it is not uncommon for fertile couples to tke up to 1 year to concieve, so i think if you get knocked up quickly you are a lucky one.

Hi Ladies, it is time for us to make our attempts!!!!!!!...got my smiley face today around 11am. We BD'd at 12pm (lunch date ;)) but would like to get 2 more attempts in in the next 24 hours. Just not sure when we should BD the next 2 times. Any ideas for us? Should we wait 12 hours from first BD (12am midnight attempt), or is tonight before bed ok and then again tomorrow morning? Or should we do midnight and then 12pm tomorrow for 3 spaced out 12 hours each. HELP! I want to get preg so, so badly this month. Prior to today we were just BD every other day once AF ended.

Yay, best of luck to you! DTD when it is best for you as a couple, either way is fine :)

[onthepond]

Thank you Cinss! So, it doesn't matter now when we BD? Just try to get 3 in within 24 hours of the first smiley face, right? That would be 2 more by 11am tomorrow. I was trying to remember what Atomic said, but I think she said once we hit the fertile window it is OK to have 3-5 attemps close together like that...right??? Without it swaying girl too much...Thank you!

Yep thats right :)

[afy]

Yaaaay on the pond!! I'm still waiting for my smiley, I had a high on CBFM but no +opk but got all the usual ovulation symptoms..

By the way when were told to wean off supps how exactly can we slowly get off do we miss a day in between ?? I wasn't sure

[onthepond]

Hey AFY - I wish I hadn't gotten my smiley face so early...only CD11 or 12 now - think my cycles are still messed up after D&C, honestly, I always always OV on CD 14 and had perfect 28 day cycles before that. Ooh well. Sigh. Keep me posted on you! Thinking of you!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if getting a positive OPK a day or two early affects odds of getting pregnant? If I OV on CD 12 or CD13, will I have a harder chance of becoming pregnant? This just sucks. I just want to be pregnant again.

[KikiCal]

Ok another weird question that I think I've asked before but I can't find it. If I have a very small amount of spotting at 10 pm is that cycle day one or is it the next day?

[KikiCal]

Onthepond, I'm no expert but I think you are fine if you ovulate early. I've always had shorter cycles and gotten pregnant.

Hey on the pond, im sure it doesn't matter whether you ovulate early or not so long as you get your +oPK. and your attempts in there !! i think you stand a great chance getting preggers again..

well so far Im on cd12 I usually always ovulate this day, weirdly the the digital OPK didnt give me a smiley which it usually does cd11-12 and CBFM has shown me HIGH fertility day. however i did try my FMU with the opk so Im not sure if thats a problem or not..Ill be trying again later morning time. Im not so stressed just taking each test as it comes lol

[afy]

YAAAAAAYYYY i got my first Smiley today! just tested now .. we DTD lastnight so we could attempt tonight, tomorrow morning and the following evening is that right?

[Huds]

YAAAAAAYYYY i got my first Smiley today! just tested now .. we DTD lastnight so we could attempt tonight, tomorrow morning and the following evening is that right?

Yeh afy... Go for it! What does CBFM stand for?

And has anyone used the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test with Dual Hormone Indicator?

[afy]

Yeh afy... Go for it! What does CBFM stand for?

CBFM = clear blue fertility monitor. I've had it for agggges so I decided to keep myself backed up with the clear blue digital sticks..

[Huds]

Ohh right ok. Ive been using the sticks. Awww goodluck afy!!!

[Adia]

It sucks that cramping can mean af or pregnant. Last month I had the same symptoms as I had with my mc in September so I was hopeful I was pregnant but it was a normal cycle. So now I can't even attempt to symptom spot. I'm hoping it mean something good for one of us!! When is af due Adia? Mine is either Sunday or Monday.

AF is due on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have been using progesterone cream this cycle because i know insufficient progesterone is a problem for me in the luteal phase and so far no AF signs or brown spotting like usual. I'll POAS on Monday and if its negative I'll stop the progesterone cream and bring on AF.

Did you speak with your doctor about progesterone cream? Was this a problem with your other pregnancies? I've always had shorter cycles and gotten pregnant but of course I'm always panicking that something is wrong with me.

[Huds]

Having long cycles sucks!! I feel like im forever waiting for a +opk or my next cycle to start. When CM dries up does this mean fertile days are over?

[KikiCal]

How long are your cycles Huds? I could not handle waiting. My cycles are 23-25 days and I still have a hard time!! However, I'm a little nervous there is something wrong with them being too short.

Has anyone tried sperm meets egg plan? I'm going to try that this month and may modify it a bit when the opk is positive. You dtd every other day until +opk, then for the next three days. I got pregnant on that once before, even though it ended in a miscarriage.

[Adia]

No, I didn't speak with my current doctor about progesterone cream but it was a big problem when I was TTC DD2 and I had to take progesterone supplements.

I have had several months of progesterone deficiency symptoms so I went ahead and used the cream from Ovulation to CD30. Only problem is it can make me have pregnancy symptoms like tingly breasts, etc.

I took a HPT yesterday but it was BFN, again I had that happen several times with DD2 and DD3 so I'll test tomorrow and go from there.

This is super frustrating. I am going to start dropping things this month if I am not prego and start focusing more on the sperm meets egg mentality too.

[afy]

hey Adia what is a HPT?
Iam currently in my 2WW.. so far Im 3DPO and feeling extremely thirsty and tired at weird times of the day were my eyes can hardly stay open, Queasy at times but again I refuse to pick at every little thing lol otherwise I'll be driving my self up the wall, I shall be taking each day as it comes and welcome AF if thats whats meant to be lol

Hpt= home pregnancy test

Don't be a symptom spotter! I even had bleeding mid-cycle two months ago and I wasn't pregnant. Last month I had no PMS which was a sign in the past but definitely not this time. I am so over symptom spotting and early testing. With DD, I waited until I was 3 days late to test. A bfn is too hard for me to see.

It's frustrating being on cycle 3 of ttc but I'm hopeful this is it because we've conceived twice in the third month. Of course, I just found out I have pneumonia, so no working out for me. Oh well, I'm going for it either way.

Adia, I'm going to my OB in a couple weeks so I may ask about that. 23 day cycles worry me a bit and it just suddenly changed. Of course, af coincided with me getting sick so that might have something to do with it. GL to everyone!!

[afy]

awwww kiki I hope you recover fast from pnemonia, did the doc say how you got it??
I kno what you mean when I concieved my DD I was 5-6 days late for my periods which was a lovely surprise.. and I dont want to be symptom spotting either because their was once a time where I had hardcore preggo symptom feeling sicky, dizzy but it was a BFN at that time i wasnt even trying so wasnt too bad..

Kikical my cycles vary.. 30-32. Feels like im forever waiting for the next stage. I like ur next plan!!!! I had my +opk yesterday morning.. Cd18. Just been getting the ovulation cramps. This time around i wont read too much into my symtoms to avoid disapointment.

Definitely huds I think its the best way to go about it, thats why Im trying to avoid it all and definitely wont be doing a pregnancy test until AF is late and its exactly why I decided to go for my first attempts in April aswell as May incase I dont conceive right away..

I keep having him release inside me every 2-4 days. Although, we had a 6 day fiasco with move number one!! I'm still upset about that, haha. I figure it can't hurt in case you don't get pregnant, than the sperm is still used to being released and amount will increase. Hopefully!

Kiki, we are in the same boat. I am trying not to symptom spot but its hard.

I am on month 6 of the HE diet. I have had 4 attempts because I got prego in Nov and had a miscarriage in Dec.

I almost think I am so frustrated I am giving up in the sense that I am just not worrying about a lot of details. It doesn't seem to be working so why worry???

As far as the low progesterone, with DD2 I took supplements to hang onto that pregnancy. I had no issues at all with DD3 so I had hoped for the same this time but I was having significant brown spotting and some other low progesterone symptoms so I thought it was worth trying supplementing with it. If nothing else, my PMS has been greatly diminished...:sigh:

I got a BFN yesterday on CD30 but my cycles are often 32 days so I'll test on Wednesday if no AF before then...the waiting game is so old...

[desperate4blue]

Now I'm having full on typical af cramps and I'm not due for 5-7 days. I had a really tough time with the HE diet this week because I was off work and went on a short trip. I ate a lot of sweets but no diet coke. Now I have three weeks to get back on track because I think af will be here pretty soon. So over ttc and it's only the second cycle, haha. Dd took 3 cycles so I'm hoping that's all this will be too.

Hiya

Is diet coke supposed to help sway blue? If yes how?

Thanks

[onthepond]

Hi Hi Hi, Here I am 3 DPO. I was diagnosed over the weekend though with Fifths Disease - YES - that childhood disease and felt AWFUL all weekend. I O'd on Friday at some point but started coming down with the sickies on Friday evening late. Very high fever all weekend - like 103 - so not feeling too optimistic but DH and I were SUPER optimistic before I came down with the sickness. 3 great attemps after positive OPK and just felt like it was our month. I do appear to be healed already - no more fever, chills, or rash, so maybe there is hope since it only stayed a short time. Fingers crossed. Big time. We want this month so bad. Good luck to all!

[Cinss]

It's good to hear your back on the mend on the pond! I'm same as you 3dpo lol we didn't manage to have great amount of attempts squeezed in after OPK hubby wasn't well at all! And I didn't have the heart to force him but Ill see how it goes we did DTD every other day after AF up until O+1.. So only time will tell!
Will you be symptom spottin or waiting for AF to arrive or even better not arrive!!

[afy]

Btw does any body know if DH can release Inside or outside after ovulation??

Hiya afy how many attempts did u get in. We didnt get ti do the morning one. Dh start work at crazy hours. So for us to dtd in the morn just wont happen unless he has a day off lol. Feel crap about this month. My youngest DD hasnt been sleeping well, shes teething!!! I know lack of sleep sways girl :-(

[onthepond]

Hi AFY, I am definitely waiting for AF before testing. We were SO confident before I came down with the really high fever...now I am not as confident and sad, would really high fever in me kill any spermies that made it inside around O? Anyone know? IF that wouldn't affect conception at all then I feel like we have a good chance I guess, but just too many unknowns. GL HUDS and AFY and all others waiting for the BFP!!

[Cinss]

Keep it inside every time till you get your BFP, unless you dont want to for any reason, its ok if he does it outside, just try to keep him regular.

[onthepond]

Cinss - do you know if a high fever around or after O could cause probs with conception or kill the spermies inside of me? I am thinking the fever came after O, but not long after. I feel completely fine today so it was just a 2 day thing...I used tylenol to lower the fever as much as I could. Thanks!

Its hard to say really, i don't think a high temp would affect ovulation at all, naturally our temps go high just after O anyway, but the killing of sperm... i am not sure at what temp exactly they get killed so i cant really answer. If you did get fertilized and then the fever came i think the bean would survive.

[onthepond]

Thanks Cinss. I know I did O as normal and expected...so I guess the only real question would be if my fever could have killed the sperm inside of me and it seems like no one knows that. Sigh. They should have been into my tubes by then, so maybe they were more protected in there? Of course this would happen to me. 2013 is a year to forget for us, for sure...Thanks for helping!

I had a pos opk on the 14th. Im still having ov cramps so i tested again today.. And yes still positive. Is that possible to still have a pos opk?

Okay, so how does everyone stay calm and stress-free during the 2ww? I am always convincing myself that there is something wrong with me and dh when I don't get pregnant. This month I think it has something to do with my short cycle and short af. This could all be in my head (I'm going to dr in a couple weeks to get checked just in case) so I want to come up with ways to not obsess or stress while I'm waiting for af. I am a type A person so I think it's in my nature. I would love to hear what everyone does. I feel like it really does help to be stress free.

[afy]

Hey cinns yes inside is fine for us according to him it's less messy well for him it is! Sorry tmi lol.. And we always usually do 2-4days so that's not a problem.

Kiki.. I'm in 2ww I just keep myself busy and completely avoid even picking apart every twinge or queas I feel before my brain makes me believe it..I know the brain can do amazing things especially at times like this we suddenly feel more "sensitive" so I'm trying not to..
And I have mental prepared myself to not fall preggers right away hence the reason I went with a "trial" attempt month if you'd like to call it that..
How many DPO are youv

hmm staying clam in the 2ww, i dont think you can... the expectation of a pregnancy is far too exciting to forget, not much help i know, but its just all part of the process, some ladies take time off the forum, i was only able to get to that point after 8 BFN cycles.

[zebaniee]

I'm in the 2ww and drinking coconut water like a crazy person. It is so expensive! I have noticed since adding all the extra juice to my diet I am starting to put the kilos on. I think I might need to scale it back a little.

I find the 2ww very hard this time around, i dont know why. But trying to stay busy with the girls and making plans in the 2ww helps me forget about it. With both my pregnancies I tested after af was due. I remember back then I stayed busy which kept my mind off it all and avoided testing early

[afy]

Lol same here!! I actually quite liked it! But cocnut and orange juice is what I usually drink now v-8 is on a break!! I'm cutting my juices down too definitely contributed to my weight gain!

[KikiCal]

Thanks for all the advice. I still don't like coconut water or v8 but they are much more manageable now. I'm still worried about being sick but I'll be off antibiotics before our attempts. I'm going to do some light weights today too. I never thought I would get so sick in April!

I think I'm going to take Cinss advice and take a break in the 2ww. I don't like getting anxious and obsessive and this feeds into my craziness sometimes, haha. I am going to try SMEP this month too.

It is very very hard. For me it was the willpower not to go looking up what every twinge and feeling meant for other women online. But I just wanted to let you know that I two thought that something was wrong with me when I had a short cycle and a very light 2 day AF on the month before my BFPcycle.

[KikiCal]

Thank you so much Pearl! That gives me hope that sometimes our bodies are bodies do strange things but can correct themselves.

[dreamsofxy2013]

Just remember timing is not that important, as long as you get a couple good attempts in your fertile window, all the other sway factors are much more influential.

Welcome dreamsofxy best of luck!

Thank you, Cinss! Question, does the couple of attempts also count for a blue sway? I have seen some conflicting info on the timing/frequency for swaying blue. Some suggest only to do it once, around 12 hours after first positive OPK. That's exactly what we did this past cycle, our first month ttc and I am 10DPO with no signs of pregnancy. I am thinking for next cycle to DTD the day we get our first OPK and then the day after, when I actually ovulate. Does this sound good?

[mollisol]

Sleep deprivation sways pink? Eek, I didn't know that. Where can I find more info on this? I tried googling but found nothing.

The general thought is that more sperm = more boys, so most of us dtd every 2 - 3 days leading up to O, then as soon as you see the +opk you try to have 3 attempts in 24 hours.

[afy]

Hey ladies havent heard from anybody for a couple of days now.. just thought id see how everyone is doing?

OnthePond how are things feeling for you how many DPO are you now?

Huds hows it going?

Kiki Our bodies will do allsorts Im sure its nothing to worry about, did you decide to change up your dtd patterns?

[onthepond]

Hi AFY! How are you doing? Any other ladies testing now or soon?

I think I am 8DPO today - BFN - but realize it is still very early. The only preg sign I have ever had though is increased discharge and I don't have any of that, so maybe I am out? Our attempts were AWESOME but I had the 103 fever so maybe it killed any spermies that were waiting for the egg? IS that possible?

I tested today and will be every day (torture) because if I do see a BFP we have to meet with a high risk dr right away because I had that darn fifth's disease. My OB is awesome and she told me not to worry at all because I had it before I would have even conceived, but she just wants to be careful with us which I love. So, basically my dr told me to test each day and left her know if I do see a BFP. Still crossing everything I have...we want to see that BFP so badly. GOOD LUCK LADIES! Thinking of us all on this horrible journey...

To the stage where i feel as if ive wet my pants.. Im thinkin is this an infection? Thinkin should i get this checked. We have had our first bit of sunshine today and it is amazing.

How u getting on?

Onthe pond goodluck

[KikiCal]

I'm just waiting for a +opk. Not much to do but drink a bunch of nasty drinks all day. The pneumonia knocked me off my normal schedule so I've barely lifted weights. I'm hoping the 4 months of weight lifting will outweigh the one week. Gl to all of you waiting for bfps!!!!!! I hope someone gets one.

[zebaniee]

I am 6dpo and sneakily thinking about poas. I know it is way to early...but the urge is still there.

Freaking out a little because I think this will be a 40 day cycle. I have stopped the EPO for approximately 2 months now. I wonder how long it will take for my cycle to return to normal?

[KikiCal]

Wow Zebaniee, sorry to hear about the long cycle. How long were they before epo?

[onthepond]

AFY - any update yet for you? 9DPO today for me, BFN. Still have to test daily, though feeling like I must be out this month. It seems like most women get at least a very faint line with FRER at 9DPO, doesn't it?

Bummed OUT. I seriously hate the heartache. I would be over 25 weeks pregnant now had I not lost our baby in MC. That and then NOT getting pregnant after is really, truly heartbreaking.

[Leebug]

Hi OTP! I'm new.I'm sorry for your loss.Don't lose hope! I don't get bfp with FRER until 11 DPO.Any of you try mixing preseed with EW for your attempt?

AFY - any update yet for you? 9DPO today for me, BFN. Still have to test daily, though feeling like I must be out this month. It seems like most women get at least a very faint line with FRER at 9DPO, doesn't it?

Bummed OUT. I seriously hate the heartache. I would be over 25 weeks pregnant now had I not lost our baby in MC. That and then NOT getting pregnant after is really, truly heartbreaking.

Hey onthepond.. dont give up yet and there will definitely come a time when we finally catch that egg I always think its when we least expect it..

Im 9DPO too and apart from queasiness then to extreme queasiness on and off all day, I dont ever get that much of a queasy feeling but Im not thinking of it as being anythin yet not until I see it in black and white lol
I dont wana test but now feeling slightly tempted whens the earliest we can test? and which HPT did you use? Have you got any early preg symptoms or anything that might give you a slight inkling?

[Cinss]

Hang in there OTP, your not out yet, got my fingers crossed for you and Afy and Zebannie!

Leebug, i wouldn't recommend the EW with preseed, EW can give you infections.

[afy]

Thanks cinns!! I am keeping myself as calm as neutral and as prepared for anything as possible.. even if it is a BFN upwards and onwards..
Do you know what prego test the ladies use? I know alot of them say to wait till after expected period. I seen one that says detects the pregnancy hormone upto 4/5days before your expected period.. According to my calculations I'm due next sat/sun.. But then I think No I will wait for AF to arrive.

[Cinss]

i had a bunch of internet cheapies and would test from 10dpo, i never got a + with them though (because i wasn't preggers every time) I had a 3 pack of FRER to use as confirmation if i got a + on a cheap test, Most ladies will get a + on both at the same time so just get the cheapies if money is of concern, you dont want to go through too many FRERs because they are expensive.

[afy]

I was thinking the same not to go through too many just test once and if not wait for AF.. Sorry what's FRER?

[onthepond]

UUG. 10DPO - BFN and a temp drop again this morning. I am sure I am out this month. I don't get it and it is making me a little nervous. BOTH of the other times I was pregnant I got preg on the first try. And since my D&C (BTW thought you were MORE fertile after a MC) we have had no luck yet. Just don't get it. Thank you all for the support.

This is a pretty crummy way to feel. This is honestly consuming me now. I just want to be pregnant again. We always wanted our kiddos close in age and with each passing month I stress more and more about that. Sigh. I hope you ladies are having better luck and are feeling better than I am! Please share how you are doing!

[KikiCal]

I feel your pain about wanting them close in age. Before my mc they would have been less than 2 years. Then we had to take a break because I work in a school and will be looking for a new job this summer so I couldn't be visibly pregnant. Now the closest they will be is 2.5 years if I can get pregnant soon. This is my third month back trying and no luck the first 2 months. Sometimes I get angry and think how unfair it is because I would be delivering in June. I hope we don't have to wait much longer!! I'm trying to focus my attention on my dd to take my mind off ttc and remember that she is growing so fast!!

[Leebug]

Thx C! I did try just ew when swaying for DD#2 & just never got pg! I seem to get pg quick with preseed but GIRLS.Ill have to figure something out!Kiki-I also wanted my babies close in age but took us 14 months to get pg so they ended up being 3years 2 months apart.its actually worked out really well! DD1 was fully potty trained helped throw dirty diapers away and was in preschool for a few hours a couple days a week so DD2 got some one on one time.it will be ok!

[Cinss]

Leebug are you taking fish oil? It really helps with the amount of natural ewcm, and if you really dont want to use preseed its really the only other opption. Foreplay is great too for creating natural ewcm and some ladies have had success with grapefruit juice and robitussin.

[Leebug]

C-taking 1000 Mg microdistilled fish oil.bought some grapefruit juice but dreading drinking it.I HATE grapefruit juice! Maybe I can mix a little organic oj that I get so its not so horrible! I also wanted to take a testosterone booster.I know TT is not recommended so I was thinking gelatin caps or Siberian ginseng

[ELP]

Ladies just wanted to add a little encouragement over here to keep chugging down those goodies lol!, but I had my NT scan today and saw a very blue looking nub:) So I'm thinking this is the 2nd successful blue sway GD style for me! Good luck:luck:

[zebaniee]

My cycles could vary from 38 to 33 days but no later.

Tomorrow will be 10dpo and I am thinking about testing...do you think it is too early?

[afy]

Hey Ladies.. I got a faint line on 11dpo and an even darker one 12dpo! hasnt sunk in yet 6months of swaying and the swaying journey has finally come to an end..I am Starting to feel preggers this is just the begining of a long Journey.. wishing everyone the all best.

[Cinss]

YAY congrats Afy!!!

[afy]

Thanks cinns!!! I just had such a deep feeling something was up with me especially the loss of apetite and queasy feeligns its just not me, I test with the FR and got a line.. total shock.

[zebaniee]

What wonderful news Afy!

Lots of blue dust :)

Will bub be a christmas baby?

[Huds]

Aww i really hope so i do. Im too scared to test at the moment!!! My af is due around monday.. So we will see. Ahh ur dd will love a sibling

Gudluck to u all.. Kikical, onthepond and zennabie x

[Pearl327]

Fantastic news afy. Wishing you a healthy & happy 9 months. Fingers crossed you are baking a blue bean. :)

[KikiCal]

Congrats Afy!!! How exciting!!

[KikiCal]

My cycles could vary from 38 to 33 days but no later.

Tomorrow will be 10dpo and I am thinking about testing...do you think it is too early?

I personally like to wait until af is due or after. I've had a chemical pregnancy and that sucked so with dd I waited until 2 days after af was due.

[afy]

Fantastic news afy. Wishing you a healthy & happy 9 months. Fingers crossed you are baking a blue bean. :)

Thanks pearl.. After falling pregnant I havent thought about the babies gender much, a blue bun would be the icing on the cake! but Im just so overwhelmed with having another baby now..

hope your well.

[onthepond]

Congrats AFY! So happy for you - good luck with everything! I hope to join you soon.

AF showed for me. YEP. Early again. Apparently having a MMC and D&C isn't enough of a punishment bc since then my cycles have been 23 and 24 days long. I am beyond upset about all of this mess bc I don't even understand why any of this is happening. Ladies, anyone else go through this? Should I try B6 to help lengthen my cycles? I might call my dr today, but sure I will just get the "it takes time after a MC blah". I just want to be pregnant again.

[Cinss]

Sorry about AF otp :( I was going to suggest B6.

YAY Afy, congrats, its such a great feeling once you know you don't have the stress of swaying anymore

[onthepond]

Awesome, I think I will give the B6 a try. Dloui or Cinss, when can I start taking it and how much should I take per day? I definitely don't want to overdo it...meds make me a little nervous anyway, but I need to do something about this...Thanks!

you can start now, I took it everyday until I got my BFP and then gradually stopped taking it, I can't remember exactly the mg it may of been 500 but I am not positive. Shoot Atomic a pm and she will let you know

[afy]

YAY Afy, congrats, its such a great feeling once you know you don't have the stress of swaying anymore

It really is dloui I just can't explain how much of a wonderful feeling it is not having the swaying to fuss and worry about and to just concentrate on the lil bean! I haven't changed the foods I'm eatin it's just the consistency that was a killer!

Now the count down is on for your 12 week scan :bluecheer: I hope you are feeling well, i know a trend with the ladies carrying boys was that they would get really hungry early on, so watch out for that and let us know :)

So far no morning sickness I didnt get any at all the women in our family like my mother my nana have never got M/S, though I have been getting Queasy feelings. That's weird you said that my hunger is Increasing so badly now.. But it was like that with my DD too!! I rang my OB today they booked me in for next Friday and they said they may do an early ultrasound scan to confirm pregnancy! I don't know if anyway knows about this ramzi theory I read about on the forum, lol I'm wondering if I should ask them... Well that's if they do an ultrasound.. I'm not sure if this is relevant but I'm gettin slight piercing pains on the right side with DD it was the left. :think:

Your right got nothing to lose! Did you ask at your scans about which side placenta was on?

[Cinss]

Your right got nothing to lose! Did you ask at your scans about which side placenta was on?

I wasn't offered an early scan, my 1st one was @ 12 weeks and my placenta was anterior low so in the middle towards the front.

Ahh I see, I was told that they would give me an early ultrasound and another receptionist said she wasnt sure so Ill see when I get there.. how are you feeling now I bet you just can't wait to see the little guy now I know how the last month or so of pregnancy drrrrraaaags, I hated it just wanted the baby out.. When is your Estimated due date? By the way did you read the hypnobirthing book?

[ELP]

afy, congratulations!!!!! I found that my m/s was a type that if i didn't eat I felt sick more like a stomach ache, so I would constantly graze on bread or biscuits! And when i went for an early ultra sound I was attached clearly on the left which is the girls side and I'm pretty sure this is a boy:) so even if your baby is on the left then take it with a pinch of salt;) Some thing I definitely notice with a blue pregnancy is that I sneeze more and my nose runs at the tiniest thing so keep an eye out for thatm and one last thing lol, is that I have noticed that alot of ladies I know who are expecting boys all went through a period of depression in the 1st few weeks, clash of hormones maybe??? Anyway good luck!!!

[The Anchor]

I was the same way, ovulated from the left baby attached on the left. If I didn't constantly eat I would have a terrible stomach ache, and I did have the blues but it seemed to be throughout my whole pregnancy

Thanks a bunch ELP! Its strange that about having that stomach ache feeling if you didnt eat because I get that feeling too (I'm having it right now as I type cautiously waiting for DH to bring me some food lol) However I did have extreme HUNGER attacks with my DD too.. My nose has been randomly runny but maybe due to other reasons but againg Im taking everything with a pinch of salt, I'm not a great believer of the left and right side thingy but just something I did come across quite abit on the forum..I'll be keeping an eye out for the lil things youve mentioned! by the way seen your 12week scan pics bubaa is adorable.. how can you tell if its a girl or boy nub?? I want to know alittle more about it so that I can have an idea hopefully when my time comes lol..

[afy]

OMG afy CONGRATS! What awesome news!!!

Thank you Anchor, how is your HT journey going so far? hope its all well

I am feeling good, i have had the ups and downs emotionally, there has been a bit of drama in our lives that put me into a bad depression, but now things are looking better and i am excited to be on the home stretch, the last month really does drag, but i just keep telling myself bubs will come when he is ready, i am ready :) My EDD is the 15th of May so he should be here within the next 3 weeks, DD came at 38 weeks so i am hoping he follows her lead (that would be 3 days away hehe) I have read the hypnobirthing book, its really great and i would reccommend getting a copy if you haven't already. I feel confident that i can have a calm peaceful birth even though he is in the posterior position (back to back), i am not going to let that worry me, he will come how ever he feels most comfortable.

I had a scan last Wednesday to check the placenta position, and look what they gave me, its such a great pic, i can't believe that is in my belly :)

Omg i love love it!! that it such an adorable pik you can see that little cute button nose so clearly, wow Ive never seen 4D scans so clear, it truly is amazing whrn you look at that and think this is what is inside of me.
Cinns I hope any sort of depression you've had subsides ones your bubba arrives I just hate it when pregnant women have to experience such things I remember my pregnancy with DD things were quite rough but things do get better just patience and perseverance I say..

Yes I got the book and I'm so glad I got it because with DD I heard such horrible birth stories and that's what I carried to my labour but this time I want to stay calm and let everything take place because I know my body was made to give birth and its not a near death experience bringing a baby into the world, mongan really explains birth and handling pain so well. I love how she refers to contractions as "expanding" it really does make it seem more of a good thing.

Hey Ladies.. I got a faint line on 11dpo and an even darker one 12dpo! hasnt sunk in yet 6months of swaying and the swaying journey has finally come to an end..I am Starting to feel preggers this is just the begining of a long Journey.. wishing everyone the all best.

A big congratulations to you afy. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 or so months.

Good luck girls. Its been a while since I've been in here but my sway worked... I'm so excited.

[afy]

Thanks mini! I'm still shocked I got preggers right away I didn't expect to at all..

How's your pregnancy going and the lil Mr Inside, when are you due?

[ELP]

! by the way seen your 12week scan pics bubaa is adorable.. how can you tell if its a girl or boy nub?? I want to know alittle more about it so that I can have an idea hopefully when my time comes lol..

A good way to learn about nubs is to watch you tube videos:agree: When the tech is 1st trying to get the length then thats usually your best time to watch. You will see a bright white line down there and as a blue swayer you are looking out for a bright white line that will be pointing up out of the middle of it. A girl will just have a slightly longer bright white line which could appear as two bright white lines pointing out of the bottom of baby. If you look on my confirmed nub pics for boys then there is a clear video showing a perfect boy nub from baby Dave, I'll see if I can find some clear girl vids for you to look at:agree: We should have a thread in the ultrasound section with videos to study before scan shouldnt we!!

[minimatron]

Thanks afy, this is by far my hardest pregnancy but I'm also a lot older and really busy with school, kinder, daycare, my work, house work, my husbands book work...the list goes on. I've been sicker longer, my skin is shocking and I've gained a load more weight than previously. However beyond all this I'm enjoying myself, knowing full well this is our last baby...and its a boy. I'm so happy that you've fallen pg first go....

Well ladies, imay have got my bfp! The line was light though. I have had bloods taken and should get confirmation tomorrow.

My next query is which due date I should use? My lmp was 20/03/13 but I ovulated on 15/04/13. If I go by march, I am due in dec but if I use the ovulation date I am due January.

[afy]

Yaaaaaay huge congratulations to you zebaniee!!! Usually the docs ask the first day of your menstrual cycle (first day of last period).
I was on some due date calculators and they asked first day of last period and that's how I got my due date..

That's cute of your DH, how did his family take it, you are right enjoy every single min of it especially if your deciding its your last! I want 4kids hubby says 3 ill manage to squeeze then 4th one in somehow ahah.
I think it's lovely having sisters to mother the little baby!! My DD is very jealous baby I have no idea what she's going to be like but I do want to get her ready.

My sisters were screaming in excitement and already fighting over who would go with me to the scan lol..
My gut feeling tells me it's a girl but healthy and happy I jst want to welcome the baby with open arms regardless of the gender.

Awwww mini I can't imagine how hard it must be taking care of everything and everyone.. Your dead right there enjoy every second I know I would especially knowing its my last pregnancy and a boy! I bet it still hasn't sunk in yet?

I haven't had any sickness yet it could be early days but just feel lil nauseas at the time i feel hunger my nausea kicks in a little, up until I eat it kinda goes away.. And cramping is sometimes left or right with my DD it was left! I don't know what to make out of that!

Afy im breaking out in spots on one side of my face :-( hope this clears. Still hasnt sunk in. Thats so cute what ur DD did, i havent told mine just yet. I can imagine my two daughters mothering the little baby lol. My DH is so chuffed he told his parents and brother straight away. This is going to be my last pregnancy, im really going to enjoy it. Bet ur so glad u got preg before coming to the uk[/QUOTE

That's cute of your DH, how did his family take it, you are right enjoy every single min of it especially if your deciding its your last! I want 4kids hubby says 3 ill manage to squeeze then 4th one in somehow ahah.
I think it's lovely having sisters to mother the little baby!! My DD is very jealous baby I have no idea what she's going to be like but I do want to get her ready.

My sisters were screaming in excitement and already fighting over who would go with me to the scan lol..
My gut feeling tells me it's a girl but healthy and happy I jst want to welcome the baby with open arms regardless of the gender.

Thats weird my gut instinct tells me im having another girl aswel lol.. Its come into my mind a few times. Its ok im preparing for either.

Wow four... Ur brave afy lol! My DH just wanted the two. Ive always wanted three, took me a few months to convince DH. Will u have this baby in NY or back in manchester?

Lol I say four confidently now because I have just the one! But only time will tell. My DH wants just 3 too, I'd be happy we would just have to assess our situation.

Noooo I'm so sad it'll be in America :( I really wanted my sisters and mum around me but its just gonna be bloody inlaws! Not that I have anything against them i just feel like its something id share with those who are nearest and dearest to me and there is no way hubby will let me have this one in engand!
Last time we had to go to the American embassy in london book an appointment for my DD to get an American passport and notice of a birth abroad it was quite a huge mission we had to drive 4 hours and stay at a crummy little hotel and couple more hours waiting in the embassy, ended up getting 5 tickets which in total cost us £ 270 as stupid london doesn't have an organize traffic system and 4 hours back again to Manchester and on top of that I had a 3 week old baby to take around everywhere it was not easy lol. I think it's a deffo no no for DH! He hated london lol

I really think your gonna have a boy my gut instinct tells me :)

Where is PrincessOfPink ???

[zebaniee]

Thanks everyone:)

So far, Im not sure really how far along I am. I thought I was about 6 weeks, but the blood test showed around 3. I have a dating scan in about two weeks which will provide my due date.

I am already starting to read everything pregnancy related and I am dying to known the gender.

Wishing blue dust to everyone xxx
