Hey all, mom of 2 boys here (Oct '12 and Feb '14) looking to try and conceive a girl with try #3. My husband and I have been married for 3.5 years. Neither my boys were planned or timed, with my oldest I was on the pill when it was recalled and my youngest I was nursing my oldest when I got pg. I'm planning on having my iud removed the end of summer and we'd like to start trying for our third in November/December. Looking forward to getting to know some of you ladies along the way!

Welcome! I will resume pink swaying in September and start TTC again in December so maybe we'll be cycle buddies. What kind of IUD? Removing it right before TTC and catching the first egg off the IUD seems to sway pink so something to consider.

I have the mirena. I had read that, but I was thinking if I had it out and could chart and keep an eye on ph, that would be a better bet. Plus I hate my iud with a passion and don't know if I want to deal with it for another 4 months. It's killed my sex drive, made me have wild mood swings, and I bleed heavy every time we have sex but my gyno said "that's all normal".

Ohhh I hate the Mirena (never had one but I have been on the same progestin it excretes and HATED it, no libido, so dry, constant AF like cramps, etc etc) so I would remove it ASAP too. Not worth putting up with the serious side effects you're experiencing.

I wholeheartedly recommend charting but be aware that very often swaying can alter your cycles, make them unpredictable, longer etc, especially when swaying pink. And it seems that usually once you start TTC your cycles are even more unpredictable. Murphy's Law but soooo common on here.

Also: don't bother checking pH or worrying about it. It doesn't actually seem to matter and being obsessive about it can actually sway blue. The diet will do a lot to optimize your reproductive tract environment for pink anyway, including lowering pH and reducing EWCM/turning it creamy.
