Best of luck ladies

[Bella29]

Hi girls :). Just arrived in the uk for a three week stay. It is making using my new ovacue a bit difficult! Never mind. :). I am trying to eat lots, taking lots of supplements and I have bought a box of pre seed. Bit excited by that! Fingers crossed it will change the initial environment enough, cos this really isn't going to be a perfect sway....

[Bella29]

Hey girls, can anyone tell me what the go is for timing with a blue sway??

[user2404]

Thnx for the lovely thread. xxx

[dloui128]

Hey girls, can anyone tell me what the go is for timing with a blue sway??

We suggest DTD every 2-4 days from when AF ends, and then once you get a positive OPK you would dtd that day and the next morning or afternoon and keep going until your OPK goes negative

[BabyLee]

I took a little break from swaying..we had some vacations summer break is almost over, but I am back in the game! Would one of you loves post the link to the blue diet again please..So what's new? Any Positives???? I am SCARED to death about this..DH says this is last try:( anyhoo hope all is well

[Ribenaberry]

Hello blue ladies :)

Im currently 4dpo, we did our best with dtd this month, and i have done my best to stick to the diet too, but i am not hopeful of a bfp this month, my cycle got all confusing with when ive actually ovulated, and anytime ive got ive been 100% sure when ov was.

Fingers crossed for some blue graduates this month!

Xxx

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Ribenaberry , got my fingers crossed for you & me, I think we both ovulated around the same time,I have had all these negative thoughts going through my head about my sway , I am really nervous about how it's going to go or if it worked for us this attempt


:DD::DD::DD::DD::DD: :fingers::DS:

[Ribenaberry]

Ribenaberry , got my fingers crossed for you & me, I think we both ovulated around the same time,I have had all these negative thoughts going through my head about my sway , I am really nervous about how it's going to go or if it worked for us this attempt

:DD::DD::DD::DD::DD: :fingers::DS:

Ive just been thinking how i could have put so much more effort in this month, i dont think i realised how much i wanted a boy until i started thinking about getting a bfp this month and it being a girl - i would love her with all my heart but there would always be a niggle in the back of my mind that i could have done more. Having said that, i have conflicting thoughts because i really do believe you get the children you are meant to have, so if we do have another girl it was meant to be and no amount of salt can change that lol! But that niggle will always be there to make me feel guilty :(

Im currently planning next months sway, so i will feel better about it all next month!!

When do you plan to test? I think this is the first time ever ive got to 4dpo without having to convince myself its too early haha!

Xxx

[Ribenaberry]

Oh hun i am really sorry for your loss, but so happy you are expecting again!

Fingers crossed for blue, but more important that its healthy like you say :) will go check out the pic!

Xxx

[Bella29]

Hi ladies, good luck to all those swaying!! I updated my old sway to tell everyone I lost the baby at 20 weeks this past January. It was really devastating, so I kinda stayed away from the board. I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy, full term baby in February. I really have no gender preference this time and we didn't sway at all, although we did try to be as healthy as possible for egg/sperm quality. I just posted my 12 week ultrasound in the ultrasound prediction forum if anyone wants to have a look! I'm feeling girl!

Oh waffles! How utterly devastating! I'm so sorry. Did you find out the sex of your angel baby? Congratulations of this new pregnancy. I hope you have lots of support. It must be a joyful and a fearful time for you. All the best of luck.

[waffles]

Thank you, ladies :) I had swayed boy, but was pregnant with a little girl. After that experience, I felt so guilty for caring about the gender when it was so insignificant at the end of the day. I really warmed up to having a little sister for my daughter, and actually would love a girl this time!! Obviously healthy matters most, and if all goes well I'm sure I'll be swaying boy for my third :) I really missed the ladies on here. Everyone is so awesome and supportive!

[ELP]

Bella, where are you holidaying in the UK????? If your local you'll have to pop in for tea lol:bigsmile:

Ribena and 5BG best of luck with testing soon!!! When will you start??

Welcome 2404:) Any questions please feel free to ask:)

Babylee. welcome back:) The link to the HE FAQ is here HTH :) http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-boy/27056-he-diet-faq.html

[ELP]

Waffles so pleased to see you back over here, I wish it wasn't tinged with such sadness but am so excited for your current bundle for you:hugs2: I had at look at your pics and have put a 50/50 guess for you I'm afraid lol:) The nub looks girly but is there something going on at the end??!! and tbh your head looks boyish to me, but heads are def for fun:) Will you be finding out at 20 weeks or wait for a suprise???

[Bella29]

Elp, I'm in kidderminster in Worcestershire. Visiting DH's family. Pulled off a massive surprise, cos my fil didn't know that we were coming to celebrate his 80th later this month. :)

So I am cd10. I bought an ovacue recently and it is predicting ovulation as being cd14. Going to use an opk as well this arvo. Then with bd tonight if that is positive. But it probably won't come positive for a few days. Might just have protected sex tonight to keep hubbies boys fit and healthy ;).

[waffles]

ELP, we are finding out!! I think we'll wait for the 20 week scan this time, but I'm feeling pretty certain it's a girl. I'm actually almost hoping it is since it will be the last chance for my daughter to have a sister close in age (3 years apart) after that I think we'll wait 3 or 4 years for the 3rd (if all goes well this time!) Maybe then we'll try a hardcore sway for a boy last :)

[Ribenaberry]

I am going to wait til sunday, 9dpo, but not expecting to see much if im honest. Ill see how i feel on sunday - i seem to have lost my urge to poas this time, normally i am counting down the hours!! I might wait til tuesday instead, 11po seems a more sensible idea lol. I think having dd1 with me is helping as she finished at the childminders today ready to go to school in Sept, so entertaining her is taking up all my thinking space, none left for pregnancy symptoms lol.

Hopefully some of us will be graduating this month at least, after the boom in July!

Ive also been shopping to get some bits for next month, im a planner, so im going to do a food plan for after af arrives to make sure i buy everything i need to keep that blood sugar high! And get lots of red meat in around ov too. Otherwise itll be a disaster like this month!!

Xxx

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Ribenaberry, I think I will test on Tuesday my days have been so busy so that has been good taking my mind off it.
I think you have to go after your dreams & make them happen, do your very best so you know that you have done everything in your power to make it happen for you & if it goes the other way then what can you do? you have given it your best shot, this is my last shot no more babies for me after this sway.
I am also planning next month.
I must say before this sway I never ate meat just because I didn't want to but now that I have been eating all this meat I can't get effort of it ,the more I eat the more I want it, really enjoying all this meat.:bigsmile:

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Thanks ELP :bigsmile: I am going to test on Tuesday :fingers:

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Waffles , I am so very Sorry this has happened to you & your family.
But I would also like to say Congratulations to you on this beautiful baby that is going to be here before you Know it, I hope this pregnancy is stress free happy & healthily :happy:
Good Luck.

[tmbabcock]

Just ttc this past weekend and I am now 3dpo. I am soooo nervous. I know some ladies get symptoms before they even get a positive but I've never had anything with either of my past 2 pregnancies. Both times though I tested + 9dpo. So I will probably start testing then which will be Monday.

Waffles- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I've been there before. I am so glad to hear though that you are expecting now. Congratulations and I hope she or he is healthy. :)

[Happylane]

Bella-Hi! So when do you think you'll O? Are you using OPK's? That what I use plus BBT. I'm on day 11 now and expect to get a positive over the weekend. I'm super excited!

BabyLee - Are you trying in August too? I will see if I can find the HE thread for you.

Ribenaberry & 5 Girls - fingers crossed for you both! I'm nervous about my sway too! It was a relaxed sway but the best I could do given that I have 3 kids under 5 and we all know how that goes! :) It's exciting to be 4dpo and that much closer to a BFP! Please keep us posted!

Now if the next 5-6 days would just fly by! :)

[Bella29]

Happy lane, I think I will O on cd14-15. That is usual for me. I have bought opks as well and used my first at lunchtime today. It was negative. I just wondered if I should be doing it later?

Fingers crossed for the TW torture ;)

[Ribenaberry]

I hope everyone is having a good day, ive done my best to keep the diet going these last few days, but im exhausted from eating lol. I have to admit i didnt realise how little meat i ate until i started this diet, i still find it hard to think of lunches that include meat, unless im eating out. I do like all the steak lol!

Well, 5dpo, i am weeing like a trooper and am beyond bloated - still too early for any signs lol but you never know!

I hope everyone else is lucky this month, good luck to those due to dtd soon!!
Xxx

[Happylane]

Hi Bella!
Everyones different but here's what I've learned about OPK's. Most people generally surge between 10am-12pm. For me, I'm fortunate enough to get a fade in pattern so I usually have a heads up that it might be the following day. However, that next day when I test with FMU it will be negative then I test again around 10-10:30a it will be positive. When I'm TTC I test multiple times a day so I know when I surged. Am I hours into it or did I surge 16 hours ago. I helps me pin point where I am verses where O is. Also, the benefit of testing multiethnic times a day is you don't miss the surge. In (2) previous months that I did OPK'S and bbt I surged and the LH left my urine in less than 24 hours so I would have missed the surge. Food for thought! I use IC's so it works for me! :)

[Happylane]

Darn auto correct! That would be testing "multiple" times a day NOT "multiethnic", lol! :)

[Happylane]

Waffles - So very sorry for your loss. I'm happy that you're carrying again and wish you only the best! :)

[Bella29]

Positive opk here today. Hoping to BD sometime tonight. ;). Dh a bit of a pain cos he "sorted himself out" earlier today cos I was knackered last night and not keen to bd. anyway, we will see..... I think I might be getting ovulation pain now. Surge began last night I think. Opk wasn't positive, but I got fade in pattern with the opk's. darkest it has been three times today. Just shy of being as dark as the test line. Anyway. Fingers crossed ;)

[Happylane]

Bella - Lucky duck! I thought I was going to get a positive today but didn't. ? Hoping tomorrow is the day. Good luck and BD away! :) hoping for your positive and tons of boy dust for you! :)

[Ribenaberry]

Good luck! Xxx

[ELP]

Good luck ladies!!!! And good luck soon to be testers!!!!! Theres gonna be a bfp boom soon lol isnt there!!:bigsmile:

[Ribenaberry]

9dpo and bfn for me, but expected it so im okay with it.

I am, however, fat!!! Ive put my maternity jeans on today because nothing else fits, and even these are too tight! So im going to have to buy new clothes either way!! :sigh:

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Xxx

[Bella29]

9dpo is pretty early to get a bfp tho. I start testing then anyway, cos hell why not?? Lol. Poas addict here, lol! Good luck tho ribenaberry :). Fingers crossed.

[Ribenaberry]

Thanks bella29, im in a flip floppy mood today lol, ive got serious uterus cramping going on, im bloated to the size of a house, hubby looked at me before and said "uh oh, mummy looks pregnant!" And i feel tired and sick. Im also seriously grumpy ha!

I really want to wait til wed to test again but i know im gonna cave before then, mostly because i hate the not knowing, at least with a bfn you can get on with your day not wondering if it would show up lol!

I can cope with the not being pregnant, i just hate having all the signs and still not being pregnant!! :drama:

Xxx

[Bella29]

I am the same! From about 6dpo I know whether I feel pregnant or not. After that I am just impatient for it to show up on a test strip! Lol! With my last I was certain I was utd, but the test strips said not or were so faint that really it could be a trick of the light if you held your eyes a certain way. I ended up getting a digital one the way to a resturant for breakfast and testing in their loo! Lol! Ah so silly but it was cool too.

[Ribenaberry]

Yep, its crazy to think i might be actually, i keep getting butterflies about having #3, 2 was a big change, 3 is a whole new car and bunk beds lol!

Ah well, the answer will soon make itself known!

Fingers crossed for everyone :) xxx

[Bella29]

I think I understand. I was walking along today and the thought occurred to me that I might be pregnant with number three. It is kinda surreal tbh.

[Ribenaberry]

Got this this morning, very faint but came up in the timeframe!

Fingers crossed it gets darker as the week goes on :)

Xxx

[ELP]

Ribena this is great news!!!! Congratulations!!:bluecheer: Now to start learning about nubs and becoming a nubsessor lol:bigsmile:!!!!

[ELP]

Bella & 5BG! How are you getting on with testing?? Will this be triple celebrations??!!!!!!

[Bella29]

Wow ribenaberry!!! Yay!!!! That is great new!

As for me I am only 1dpo ATM. Will have to see what next week brings. I usually succumb to doing a hugely premature test at 6dpo, lol!! I have three tests with me. Will try to hold out as long as possible ;). Who am I kidding?? I am a posts addict!

[tmbabcock]

Got a BFP today! Only 9dpo! I am soooooo nervous and in so much shock! I kind of feel like crying I am so happy! This is out last little bundle so fingers crossed it's a boy but I don't care either way as long as they're healthy!

[ELP]

Tmb!!! Double celebrations in the blue corner, woohoo!! Good luck ladies xxx

Bella I thought uou were tseting d'oh :bigsmile: Counting down with you:agree:

5GB any news!!!!

[ELP]

Minimatron's in labor with her little boy!! Good luck Mini:fx:

[Ribenaberry]

Good luck minimatron!! Xxx

[Bella29]

How many of you will find our the gender prior to birth?

[Ribenaberry]

I think weve decided to, id like to be ready for the delivery room i think, plus i need time to think of more girls names lol!!
Xxx

[ELP]

How many of you will find our the gender prior to birth?
We found out this time and last time but not before:) After some great nub shots it was hard to not get confirmation when she asked:)

[Five Beautiful Girls]

:sad: Up Date I am out for this month, AF has arrived ,so back into it for another two weeks .

:DD::DD::DD::DD::DD::fingers::DS:

[Bella29]

FBG, sorry to hear that AF visited.... Fingers crossed for September...

Tomorrow is 6dpo for me. I am tempted to test, but I know it is highly unlikely to show anything.

[crazyladyneedsababy]

hey blue ladies, just wanted to stop past and spread all my blue baby dust your way since I don't want it :rofl: Best of luck for all those ttc this month xxx

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Thanks Bella29, Hope this month is good to you:happy: the hardest thing for me is eating so much & when AF comes around I never want to eat I have slowed down with the eating over the last few days I really need to keep on going with this & get it done.

[ELP]

Sorry about AF 5BG:( How is the sway going?? Are you doing a little regular weight training tohelp convert your calories to good boy making stuff!:) Remember to just go for quality food rather than quantity especially if you have been swaying a while. Your body has already probably topped up its stocks in loads of nutrition already so dont feel the need to overdo it:agree:

[ELP]

How are all the blue swayers doing!

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Hi ELP, I am weight training 2 to 3 times a week, thanks for your input ,I have been thinking that about the food , quality rather then quantity trying to work on that & remember it when it's time to eat, I am trying to not gain any more weight because I have put on enough so hoping to sit where I am & not gain anymore, I have been doing a little more cardio just to try & keep my weight still.
Thanks for the reminder about the food & exercise it keeps me going:happy:

[Bella29]

Hi all, well I tested again today :). And got a :bfp: !!! Yay for me! Mind you it was very very faint, but a line is a line is a line :) blue dust for me I hope :)

[ELP]

Bella!!!! Thsts great news!!! Massive congratulations and fongers x'ed for a little blue for you:)

You are def next 5BG!!!! This will be the month I swear it! :luck::luck:

[Ribenaberry]

Congrats bella!!! Yay, another blue swayer in the due date thread :D there are not many of us!

I hope you will be joining us next month 5bg :)

Xxx

[becca]

Hi ladies! My DH and I are attempting our first sway in a few days/week! We were swaying almost a year ago but took a long break. Although throughout the year, I've focused on nutrient dense food. I also began barre classes about 3 months ago and have been doing *some* weight training in between. We're super excited! We're bding every 2-3 days now and plan to try to get at least 3 attempts in our window. I'm cd8 today. When do you all usually start opks?

[becca]

and omg, congrats to all the BFPs this month!! I've just read through the thread!

[Bella29]

Ribenaberry where is the due date thread??

[Ribenaberry]

If you scroll down the forums page to pregnancy, there is a due dates section, and we are in due mar/aor/may 2014 :) xxx

[ELP]

Welcome back becca:wave: I hope your bfp arrives nice and swiftly for you :luck::luck:

[Five Beautiful Girls]

''Congratulations'' Bella29 , That is wonderful news:happy: fingers crossed for Blue.

Ribenaberry or Bella29 did you use BSF or pre-seed? with your attempt?

ELP, I hope you are right & Sept is my month .
How much pre-seed should you use when it's time for attempt, is to much not good?

[Ribenaberry]

No i didnt use anything, what cd are you on now hun? I really hope this is your month hun.

Good luck becca!

Xxx

[ELP]

I havent tried preseed either but I know its mentioned either in this or lat times threads, I'll have a quick hunt down for you :)

Do you want to know something strange? I really want to be swaying atm? I just feel like eating peanuts and lifting stuff! I do believe there will be a number 11 sooner rather than later come October:oops:

[ELP]

Found this on pre-seed:)

How to use Pre-Seed to sway blue - Use some Pre-Seed every other day starting after AF is over (it doesn't need to be a lot, because it's expensive...just enough so your body is somewhat used to it when your attempt rolls around) then a bit more every day during your fertile window and then ALSO as a lube during your attempt. You may want to use the Pre-Seed before bedtime to allow it to spread through the VJ without coming back out.

[dloui128]

''Congratulations'' Bella29 , That is wonderful news:happy: fingers crossed for Blue.

Ribenaberry or Bella29 did you use BSF or pre-seed? with your attempt?

ELP, I hope you are right & Sept is my month .
How much pre-seed should you use when it's time for attempt, is to much not good?

I only used preseed during my attempts but like ELP said you can use it prior to that. I used a small amount between 1-2 I think

[Bella29]

I used preseed. But I just inserted a half an applicators worth each time. Dunno if it will make a difference.

[a&jmummy]

Omg can't believe its my turn soon ... Cd 12!
So excited yet really nervous eeeek!

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Sorry Ribenaberry, but what does cd stand for? Cycle day??? I am guessing ,I don't know for sure

Thank You to all of you for your feed back about the pre-seed, I did use it last attempt, but keep thinking maybe I use to much, I use 3g
My biggest concerned is my PH & CM
with pre-seed does it only help for CM or does it also help with PH ?

Good Luck :luck: s&jmummy :fingers:

[Sazzleg]

hi ladies I'm completely new to all this, stumled across this site from fertility friend.
so sat reading masses of posts yesterday and sounds like I've been doing a bit of an un-intentional blue sway! this would be great if happens. I've actually been trying to lose a few lbs not gain but been doing it mostly following a paleo style diet, lots of fresh veg organic meat and carbs via veg or nuts or brown rice \ quinoa etc.
I also make snacks for me and DH these protein balls made from dates oats and walnuts. I take brewyers yeast already (good for hair, am a hairdresser!). I make a vegan pesto using nurtritional yeast flakes! I take lemon warm water every day for good digestion. And I make a detox drink of fresh grapefruit juice apple cider vinegar with honey! Also been doing more weights than cardio recently too.
So sounds like a do quite a few things already. Made some notes yesterday to add few things like bananas etc. Im already focusing on fertility foods etc.
My history is I had a mmc back in march, wasnt planned but really made me want to get pregnant again. bit gutted not happened so far but been scared to go down the fully ttc route. so far I track my periods and guess my ovulation etc from my body and timing but just signed up to fertility friend and bought a thermometor to properly do temp tracking. I'm currently on the 2WW and so if dont get result this month think I'm really going to put a lot of effort into it. Problem is we have a ton of visitors and holidays / trips home that have meant been drinking way more than usual and think thats really whats holding us back.

anyone waffle over! just thought i'd chime in and see what u ladies think! Good chance I could sway blue??? I'd be happy with just healthy baby right now but think we all have a secret pref!

[Ribenaberry]

Welcome sazzleg, it sounds good to me, i think eating healthily all day is boy friendly so good luck :)

Yes cycle day 5bg, just wondered how close you are to trying this month :)

Xxx

[Sazzleg]

sorry whats cycle day 5bg? I'm still learning all the abbreviations lol! according to timings given on fertility friend app (obviously only from dates i put in and not temping etc) we shouldve hit the timing perfectly but I'm not convinced with how pickled we must be from all the brunches weve been on this month!

[Bella29]

Cd is cycle day. You start counting your cd one the first day of your period, which is cd1. Most women will ovulate around cd14-15. When you are sure u have O'd, you count "days past ovulation" = dpo

[ELP]

Definitely sounds like your naturally swaying blue Sazzleg!! Best of luck with this tww:fx:

[ELP]

How are you feeling a&j, confident!!!!!

Bella that sounds ideal:agree: then your natural cm is still in the mix a good amount:agree:

[Ribenaberry]

Sorry sazzle g, yes cd= cycle day, and 5bg is just me being lazy and not typing five beautiful girls !

The acronyms do take a while to get used to, but soon youll have to stop yourself from using them in real life! ;)

Xxx

[a&jmummy]

Hmmmm...I wouldn't go as far to say confident! But I think I have a pretty good shot .
I have totaly changed my eating habits for last six months ... never ever feel hungry ( god I miss that feeling ) I have done all I can , now its in the hands of the lord .
I only have one last lil detail to decide , I have multiple +opk going from same as test line to darker than test line , they both concorde with a smiley , so I am still debati:ng wether to go for it on first dark or next day when its very dark?
Yes I know timing doesn't sway so stupid question really but I want a 4day cut off ...I'm planning everything to a T lol

[a&jmummy]

Bump

[Ribenaberry]

I didnt do opks but we dtd on monday, thursday am, thursday pm, friday am (i was due to ov on friday, but had ewcm still) saturday pm. Obviously dont know if its a boy yet though lol.

Xxx

[TTCaPRINCE]

Hey ladies!!! Just wanted to see how everyone was doing and where you all are with your sways?! Ovulation came early for me this month! Thank God I decided to start testing CD 6 (which I never do). DH and I DTD but pulled out on CD 10. Then CD 11 we BD and I was worried we did it too early but CD 12 I took a test at 10:30 am and it was neg... around 5:30 I felt a lot of cramping and my EWCM was off the charts so I took another test and got a smiley!!! So we BD last night on CD 12 and then again today around 3:30 on CD 13. I am going to TRY and get one more attempt out of DH tomorrow but I seriously doubt it! He is so over the BD right now and he is started classes back up tomorrow so he is tired. I am praying to God that I did everything I could. And that we will get our little boy! Now my main concern is whether or not I get pregnant. I don't think I can do all of this again. It was way more stressful than I anticipated!

[Five Beautiful Girls]

Ribenaberry, & Bella29 Thank You for explaining that to me,
so I think all this time I have been counting wrong because I have always counted from when my period ended, So it is from when it starts.
So that would make today cd11, because AF arrived on the 16th of Aug, Is that right ?
Welcome Sazzleg, you asked about what is cycle day 5bg? Ribenaberry was answering a question I asked.:happy::happy: 5bg thats me.

[Sazzleg]

fingers crossed for everybody!! I'm gonna have to hope a clear blue test shows something positive early before my friend arrives from the UK or its going to be a very boozy week again, I'm really ready to stop drinking again. (my friend is 5 years younger and remembers me as the party girl so theres not an option to not drink unless I get the result I need!)
She arrives on the 3rd and periods due the 5th so hope clear blues claims are true that can get a result 4 days before your period is due!!

[ELP]

a&j if your in your fertile window I would say start going for it!! The more attempts before ov means the more possible little boys sitting waiting for that signal:agree: I had a real hang up on timing and amount of attempts needed but on this recent bump I had the most perfect pink timing attempt I was convinced that all the other stuff I'd done for the last 6 months was a waste of time, but I was completely wrong lol!!!

[ELP]

fingers crossed for everybody!! I'm gonna have to hope a clear blue test shows something positive early before my friend arrives from the UK or its going to be a very boozy week again, I'm really ready to stop drinking again.

Sazzle, I am absolutlely GREEN! with envy atm lol!!! I hope your week is ruined!! in the nicest possible way:bigsmile:

Yep CD1 is the first day that you need to use protection for your AF, so not spotting but full flow, so your CD 11:agree::)

DH and I DTD but pulled out on CD 10. Then CD 11 we BD and I was worried we did it too early but CD 12 I took a test at 10:30 am and it was neg... around 5:30 I felt a lot of cramping and my EWCM was off the charts so I took another test and got a smiley!!! So we BD last night on CD 12 and then again today around 3:30 on CD 13. I am going to TRY and get one more attempt out of DH tomorrow but I seriously doubt it! He is so over the BD right now and he is started classes back up tomorrow so he is tired. I am praying to God that I did everything I could. And that we will get our little boy! Now my main concern is whether or not I get pregnant. I don't think I can do all of this again. It was way more stressful than I anticipated!
You are officially in the TWW!!!!! I hope your little man is in production!!!

Ribena, how you feeling???:)

Tired and grumpy lol!

I feel like i'm gonna get to take this one home :) and it makes me feel all warm inside - fingers crossed im right!!

Im feeling the nausea a lot more now as well, 5+4 today and i feel sick if i overdo things so im trying to listen to my body and not push it. Im back at school on monday, and have my midwife appointment on wednesday morning, so it will all feel official then!

Just hoping this first trimester flies by as quickly as the summer holidays lol

Hello gals! We had our first attempt..DH felt "right" about it lol.. I'm 1 day late! We shall see!! We had an appointment at a clinic with a lovely Doctor about donating my eggs to pay for a cycle of IVF&PGD...(WELL PART OF) It's going to be costly!! We are in the data base but living life normal, praying for our baby boy and if someone comes up a match than that's the way to go..I had some blood work last week I'm not sure if it was to see the quality or quantity of my eggs..and that cost BIG $$$$ so this is going to be rough! I see moms in the store with their boys and girls and wonder what are they doing that I failed to do 3 times? I say 3 because I wanted a girl first..maybe I wished so hard for a baby girl that first time I got four!!! LOL Anyway, how are you all doing?? Any good news??? oh also..every time I wipe there is a very light brown or pink on the tissue this started yesterday, I'm not cramping however there is pressure down yonder and my breasts are killing me..I felt my cervix it's low,medium and closed..I know this all could be pre-menstrual . I hope you all are well!

Babylee what exciting news!!! When will you be testing?? I would have done about 8 already lol!!!!

Hello blue crew I see some old ig ladies over here awesome :) I'm happy to report after 4 girls we finally have a boy on board woohoo. I was not really swaying or ttc at the time only getting ready to maybe later in the year. I posed in the swaying forum if anyone's interested to how I got my boy. Wishing everyone the best!!

[BabyLee]

CONGRATS Sunny!!!! I have 4 biological girls as well..DH has 2 girls 2 boys...Well ladies I got my first + OPK today (for this cycle) I usually get 2 for my surge. Iv'e got a question if you get your surge does that mean your egg is only available as long as you have the + opk showing your LH surge is present? We BD with my last baby girl when I got my 2nd LH surge I think it was before the egg was there or right as it came..I am aiming for the last moments of the eggs life..Hopefully someone can help me with this, I feel it's important.. Thank you ladies!!

Oh the Doctors appointment went well for the PGD/IVF it's going to cost a bit so I'm hoping to donate some of my eggs to help pay..Think we'll give it until November and if I'm not a match that route must not be meant to be, until then we will keep trying if the "feeling" is right..yup giving it to God..LOL..DH has a good feeling about it, I told him it's just God saying I'll give you what you're supposed to have, but for me that won't work..I'm thinking maybe just a little aid in this as so I can have my #1 dream my little baby Lee :)
I hope everyone is well!!!! xoxox

Hi to all you lovely ladies,can someone help me.im using clearblue monitor to see my ovulation day,after being on this forum I've read that timing doesn't count really but as my ph is very acidic so was thinking it might be a good idea to dtd on or before ovulation.so the monitor shows 2 high fertility and 2peak fertility days and it says that the 2nd peak day is suppose to be the ovulation day so what times are the best to dtd to sway blue as i don't want to just dtd at once.thanks to all for reading and all comments are welcome:-)
