TTC BLUE in October?

[Boysway]

Congratulations tm :)

[jmomof3girls]

OMG! I'm so happy for you tm29

[Boysway]

I am currently on CD 12. There is a good chance I may O CD 15-17 similar to the past three cycles 16, 15, 17 if I remember right. I'm really not feeling very 'into' it all at the moment. We have discovered dh's BP is high. He shouldn't take the Viagra with high BP. He is trying to lose weight now which is great. Due to him trying to lose weight, he won't drink the Pomegranate juice and because of the high BP, I am not keen on giving him the Prelox tablets. Goodness only knows if we will actually get an attempt in this month :(

I have been crap with my diet and almost forgot to start having my af-O supps :(

[stephk]

Good luck Boysway!!! Everything crossed for you hon x

[True Blue]

I hope this is your month boysway and you catch your little boy.

[Boysway]

Thank you ladies. I sure hope so. Not feeling terribly positive though. I know there is still time yet though. I haven't even O'ed yet.

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck Boysway, I would be frustrated with swaying if I was you too! I'm wishing you all the luck!

[belleboi]

Good luck everyone! Hopefully I'll be in the 2ww soon:)

I ventured over to TTC Girl forum and was so astonished! They have nearly triple the amount of responses in their current results data!

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, there is many more pink swayers on this site for sure!

[business.woman]

Ladies , I want your experience here !

[belleboi]

Hi ladies! Can I get some feedback about OPKs and when you actually ovulate? My OPK went from positive the day before yesterday morning, to negative yesterday night. I'm pretty sure I caught the beginning of my LH surge, so around 36 hours. In your experience, when do you usually ovulate? I know many do not test past the first positive OPK, but I'm sort of anal retentive about this sort of thing, LOL.

I was sure my temperature would go up this morning, but it was the exact same as yesterday's. Hoping for a temp spike tomorrow morning.

[yogi&booboo]

Belleboi,
What is your cm looking like? You could have had a false surge. It is said you ovulate 48-72 hours after your positive opk. I always ovulate the 3rd day of my positive opk.

[belleboi]

Belleboi,

I'm really, really hoping it's not a false surge. I've already had a few of those on this cycle. Well, 48-72 hours makes me feel a bit better bc I've been reading that O happens usually 24-36 hours after your first positive OPK. I'll just be stalking my temps like usual then.

[BeckMom89]

Hey Ladies,

It's been a while since I've been here, oh like a week maybe? :) I'm feeling discouraged. I am 2 days late and still getting BFN. No signs and no cramping signaling AF either. This may be TMI but I can't feel my cervix, I don't know where she is at! I am urinating a lot! Tender to the touch breasts and craving a big salty hamburger! I don't even know my O date.

[jmomof3girls]

Belleboi-Ovulation usually happens around 30 hours after a positive opk but not for everyone!

[jmomof3girls]

Beck- I'm hoping you get a bfp soon!
Yogi- how are you doing? Are you in the 2ww?

[sageviolet]

Beck -- FX for you!

I am still waiting to O. I'm surprised I did not have a smiley face this morning. Temps have been much more even this cycle with the increased vitamin B6 and addition of vitamin C.

[maimai88]

hi ladies, how is everyone? Its been a while since I posted, but I'm in my first 2ww ATM. 3dpo to be exact! Is anyone else in 2ww? And do we continue the diet while in 2ww?( I'm doing the IG diet).

[maimai88]

Sageviolet- B6 if taken during 1st half of cycle can delay O . My O was delayed big time last month(a whole week), and that cycle I had added new supps B12 and Zinc. Sometimes it takes a little while for body to adjust. FX you get your smiley soon!

[BeckMom89]

Last night, I was taking the trash out when I noticed my Answer pregnancy test I took on Thursday had something different from the other BFNs in the trash. I held it to the light and there was a faint faint BFP. I just thought well it must be run off ink but I went out and bought a clearblue test today and........

BFP!!!!! :holysheep:


DH and I are over the moon! Our 4 year says its a little daddy!
I don't know how to post pictures here but I told DH with a little newborn onesie that says: StormPooper :)

[True Blue]

Beckmom congratulations :) I hope it's your little man!!

[Boysway]

Fantastic news Beck :)

[BeckMom89]

Thank you so much ladies! Please send some sticky blue dust!! I can't wait to see more BFP! My 1st pregnancy I got a BFP on my AF due date this time it was kind of crazy!

[jmomof3girls]

Congrats beck!

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck maimai and Sageviolet.

[maimai88]

Congrats, Beckmom89!!!

[maimai88]

Good luck maimai and Sageviolet.
Thank you!

[jmomof3girls]

Beck- don't forget to put up your 12 week nub!

[business.woman]

Yaaaay beckmon89 !!!! Congraaats !

[Mamato3?]

Congratulations Beck!!!
I hope you have a healthy, beautiful baby boy in there!!
Looking forward to your scan pics!!!

[belleboi]

Great news Beck! Congrats:)

[BeckMom89]

Thank you ladies! I really appreciate it! Just throw buckets of blue dust my way please lol!

[sageviolet]

Congrats, Beck! Great story about finding out and telling dh!

I Oed yesterday and everything was great this cycle until I came down with a headcold yesterday evening. So miserable. Do I still have a chance or did my eggie get fried?

[True Blue]

Sageviolet you definitely still have a chance :)
Good luck :)

[yogi&booboo]

Congratulations Beckmom!!! Woo hoo :) So excited to see more blue swat bfps! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

[BeckMom89]

Thanks ladies! And sage violet you can definitely catch that egg.

[Boysway]

Anyone been on the diet for a while? Just something trivial to ask. Anyone not like pepper before but like it now? I have never been one to like pepper (I had a bad experience with Vietnamese chilli's as a young girl). Since being on the HE diet I like to have pepper on my food, along with salt of course.

Oh, I am also in the 2ww. Officially 1 dpo today :D I am stoked because we bd the morning, night and morning after my +OPK :D If that doesn't do the trick I will be concerned to be quite honest.

[True Blue]

Boysway I have a real good feeling it's your month :)

[Boysway]

Thank you :D I hope so.

[sageviolet]

Looking good, Boysway! Do you mean peppercorns or bell peppers? I don't like bell peppers and I still don't. I don't like tomatoes either, but I've been eating a lot of tomato sauce since swaying boy. And I will admit I actually sort of like the tomato sauce now and put it on lots of things. But I still hate raw tomatoes -- eww, yuck! lol

[Boysway]

Thanks Sage violet. I'm hoping this cycle will finally be a bfp.

I mean ground peppercorns. I sprinkle it on my food. I didn't like it on my food before. Over the years I have begun liking raw tomatoes, it's taken time though.

[jmomof3girls]

Boysway- while being on the HE diet my tastes did change a bit. I'm enjoying things I never did before. I'm currently taking a break from the HE diet and I've continued to eat lots of the foods from it and foods I wouldn't normally eat.
I'm sooo happy that you're in the 2ww. I love your updates and I'm hoping for a bfp for you.

[Boysway]

Aww thanks Jana :D Yes, my tastes have definitely changed. Besides liking pepper and now preferring to add salt I'm not such a fan of sweets. I also don't crave chocolate or junk through the day.

How long till your dd's operation?

[Midwest_Complex]

I am holding off on TTC as well, but after being on the diet for a few months..I am having a hard time changing back to my OLD habits. Definitely LOVE breakfast now & I still snack at night. I cook meat a lot more too because i crave it now.

I keep saying well atleaste if we ever have a surprise or oops, diet wise I should be good to go this time around. Lol

[Boysway]

Midwest, I don't think I could go back to how I used to eat. I'm just going to be happy not to have to drink juice all the time and the constant eating.

[jmomof3girls]

That's so true Midwest!
I find myself eating roast beef sandwiches with lots of cheeses. I eat way more meat with dinner. I eat peanuts and use coconut oil in my morning coffee. So different! And you're right. I no longer crave chocolate and sweets. I didn't even realize until you said that that I haven't had any for a months! Before, I would crave sweets daily. Good observation, Boysway! I still don't eat breakfast though LOL! It was very hard for me to eat it while on the HE diet, I had to force it down.
DD2 operation is about 6 week's away.

[True Blue]

Good Luck with your DD's operation Jana I wish her a successful outcome and speedy recovery :pray:

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you very much true blue. You're a sweetheart! :heart:

[Boysway]

Wishing your dd the all the best for her operation. I hope it all goes wonderfully.

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you Boysway, that means a lot :happy:

[business.woman]

Good luck Jana with your DD's operation !
I hope everything goes well and speey recovery ❤

[jmomof3girls]

Thank you business woman. You ladies are the best!

[Mamato3?]

Jana, many wishes on a successful op and healthy recovery for your DD.
Breakfast is the hardest for me too. I have to have a reminder on my phone everyday to eat breakfast. If I forget it I can stay fast until 2 pm...

[Lidy]

Hello ladies i want to start with sway blue this month. Do you have tips? What i Should eat and witch food i have to avoid? And witch supplements i have to take. For how long do i have to sway before idd. My English is not that good, i hope iTS clear

[Midwest_Complex]

Jana- I know your daughters surgery is fast approaching. Thinking of you guys! ♡

Do you think you will TTC soon after? Or do you still have cold feet?

[Boysway]

Lidy, click on the following link. There is plenty of information available http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-boy/27056-he-diet-faq.html

It's best to be on the boy diet for at least 6 weeks.

Is there anyone here still here getting in their attemps? I know we are in November but my last AF was Sept 28. I have gotten positives through out my this past month but I feel very tender in my uterus which I always get in my cycle prior to ovulation so I am gonna try and get some attemps just in case this is it. Good Luck everyone still in the run and wish me luck :phttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/08/cc1962b966c7a9742a6b970b52fcc165.jpg

Hi Ladies, hoping I can join you in here :) I have done a lot of reading around the site and preparing and got my IUD out a few weeks ago. Tomorrow is my usual O day I am using OPK's and got a almost there line today, so will be trying for the next few days. I have totally changed my diet and been vigilant about my vitamins - opposite to my lifestyle when getting pregnant with my girls, I don't think I ever ate breakfast in my whole pregnancy! Lol
Anyway looking forward to getting to know you all.

[stephk]

oh boysway, i haven't been able to come here for ages and I was thinking of you this morning and wondering if you had tested yet!!! So happy to come here and see your BFP, hope thats your little man in there!!!! Congrats x

Thank-you Beckmom for your wonderful wishes! 💖😙😊

Janamom Im keeping my fingers crossed but not excited about it. Im sure this will be another month of nothing especialy with all of the stress I have experienced this past week. Thank-you for still keeping me hopeful 😙😍💖😊

[BeckMom89]

Hey ladies how are you doing? I hope everyone is well. I've been feeling super bloated especially in the evening so much so I feel sick as if I'm about to pop! Other than that just extreme headaches and extreme hunger 24/7 I can't complain.

[Midwest_Complex]

DH & I keep going back & forth. As of now, I think our family is complete. the idea of a 3rd scares me.

[jmomof3girls]

Beck- poor preggo! I remember those awful days! :(

[jmomof3girls]

Midwest- we're obviously feeling the same and I'm glad I have you to understand my feelings. I'm thinking of February or June. I hope I don't chicken out again. I do feel like the timing is wrong for some reason.

[Midwest_Complex]

Jana- same! I want to feel 100%.

[jmomof3girls]

Me too. I have to tell you though..... 3 kids is fun!

[Boysway]

I enjoy having three kids. It can get busy but, there are no regrets. Strangely enough, at the moment I'm not even nervous about going from 3 to 4. Maybe because my eldest two are a bit older.

[Boysway]

I have to add, it is only natural to be hesitant. A new baby is a big change not just for you, but your family as well.

[True Blue]

It must be catching I am seriously fighting myself right now too. I feel complete and I feel the desire is fading. I am in turmoil and considering delaying. I'm not sure if it's fear?
I see little toy cars or trains and think no don't give up but then go in circles again.

Maybe I'm not ready.

[jmomof3girls]

Thanks Boysway. I'm still so happy for you.

[True Blue]

Three is an easy number :) I found it a big jump but great.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. The other ladies on this site seem so sure.

[True Blue]

I was . . . Even DH is shocked at my turmoil. I had a few tears trying to come to terms with what exactly I'm feeling.

[jmomof3girls]

So was I. Maybe it's just the fear of our gender dream not coming true :(

[True Blue]

So was I. Maybe it's just the fear of our gender dream not coming true :(

I think this could be it and I take it as an indicator of not being emotionally ready?
What do you think? Maybe cold feet?

[Midwest_Complex]

True Blue- SAME. I was SO certain & so sure. We even ended up TTC a few times in September & then I freaked out & was so relieved when I got my period. I went to Target today, (target is a MAJOR baby boy fever trigger for me) & I was super sad seeing all of the baby boy stuff... but not sad enough that I feel ready to take the plunge.

My kids ages have to be a factor too though. I have an almost 3 yr old & a 5 yr old... I thought it would be easier with them older, but it's like a whole new set of worries and issues to deal with.

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, I think this is definitely what's going on with us. This will be our last try and with that comes extra pressure. I would love another girl but that means I'll NEVER have a boy and I'm not sure I'm able to face that right now. I'm glad you understand.

[True Blue]

I think I'm going to keep going with the supps and plan as normal just in case and if by attempt month I still feel the same then maybe delay until decided yes or no.
I don't want to stop only to discover this is a wobble and have messed up our sway.

[True Blue]

This - the pressure of a last shot!!

[jmomof3girls]

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. Thank you true blue and Midwest.

[jmomof3girls]

This - the pressure of a last shot!!

It's terrifying! I'm such a wimp.

[True Blue]

How is everyone :)

[jmomof3girls]

True blueI'm doing ok. I'm building up my courage to continue my sway plans for March.
Midwest- I'm thinking I'll try in March. How are you?
I would love updates from Yogi and Boysway if they are around?
How is everyone else doing?

[Midwest_Complex]

Jana- as of now, I really think we are done. :/

[Boysway]

Hey there ladies. Sorry it's been a while since I was last in. I've just mainly been popping in on my phone which is a pain in the bum to post on.

I'll be exactly 6 weeks tomorrow. I haven't really got any symptoms as yet. Sore bbs, occasional cramping, sweet foods are too sweet for me now. Nausea every now and then but mainly when I need to eat. Although, I often need to stop eating before I'm full because I just can't bring myself to eat more. I have an appointment just before 9am with the Diabetes service. Apparently my fasting glucose level is too high. It looks like I have gestational diabetes. I have a dating scan booked for two weeks time.

[Boysway]

Good luck to the lovely ladies still going ahead with their sway. I really believe you need to be pretty sure you will be okay with the opposite gender in order to follow through with the sway. I have no regrets about trying for another bub. At the moment I am happy with either gender (especially for a boy though). I know once I see our baby regardless of gender, I will be in love.

Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk

[True Blue]

I recovered from my wobble :)
I was seeing little signs everywhere not to give up, or maybe I was seeing what I wanted to see but my heart obviously still hangs on to the dream.
I read a quote about regretting the things you didn't try and I knew if I didn't try I would always wonder.

So we're still here :)

[belleboi]

How is everyone doing?

After my long cycle last month, I didn't get my hopes up too high for this cycle's chances, but lo and behold I got a smiley face on my CB today! I'm CD 22, so I'm hoping I actually O this time around and it's not a false surge like I had last cycle a few times. This is TMI but I'm feeling good about my O chances because of the nausea and the big D I've been having today. Apparently that's from the estrogen surge around O day. Never thought I'd be happy about feeling gross:)

[shtarr]

Sadly I'm out this month, thought I had great attempts around 0 day and I was even a few days late but have AF now. Next month. What are you guys eating on an average day? I find diet the hardest to stick to.. :(

[tm29]

Hi all - I haven't been here for a while, but I wanted to let the people I swayed with know that I had a miscarriage. Went for our 12 week scan and there was no heartbeat.

Having read atomic's essay on swaying after a miscarriage, I think it is POSSIBLE this could have been related to cutting my folic acid dose too suddenly. I wanted to write this so that all you blue swayers take very seriously what she says about GRADUAL alteration to your supps and maintaining nutrition throughout your first trimester. I believe I just lost my tiny boy. I am heartbroken. I will ttc again, I will sway (a bit) again - but IF (and I'll never know) I am going through this because of anything that could have been prevented, then I want you all to know about it. I'm not sitting here blaming myself - don't worry - I just want to bring this home to all of you just in case it stops anyone going through the same thing.

Best of luck to all of you.

[ELP]

tm29 I am so sad to read this :-( MC is just horrible, I hope you can heal soon. The whys these things we will rarely ever know which makes it so much harder to get your head round, if we just knew then we could understand and reason with it but the what ifs, grrr! Sending you big hugs :hugs: xxx

[belleboi]

Big huge hugs tm. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks Trueblue - I'm going to focus on getting strong again and restoring my cycle. I think Atomic advises you to wait until you've had x2 AF before ttc after a loss, so I won't be trying again until Spring. It's sad - but we'll handle it. I have a fantastic DH and an incredible little girl.

Thanks everyone for kind words. What a lot we women go through!

[BeckMom89]

Tm29- I am so sorry for your loss. I know words can not heal but I hope time and love from your family and friends do. I will be thinking and praying for you.

[sageviolet]

tm, big *HUGS*. Do whatever you need to do to honor the life that was inside you. I m/c my first at 5 weeks 4 days, and it was helpful for me to make new curtains for the room I hoped would someday be a nursery. As for blaming yourself, I feel your pain. I will forever wonder if it was the Lyme disease that took my baby or the doctor's fault. She put me on harsh drugs without checking for pregnancy first. We will never know. You just have to trust that things happen for reasons you can't understand, part of a bigger picture you can't see. I did get to see the bigger picture in my case and that I got to have dd who was conceived 2 months after the m/c. I now understand my little angel was paving the way for her and making me a stronger mommy to take charge of my own health treatments. But I still think of my angel regularly and appreciate the life that was with us for such a short while. If you're up for it, look up the lyrics to "Rhythm of Love" by Plain White T's. That's my special song for my angel baby. Now a couple of years later I especially like the line, "And long after I'm gone, you'll still be humming along, a beautiful song to be sung." Sending you lots of love and prayers!

[BeckMom89]

I hope you ladies have a wonderful healthy baby boy making new year!
