[pinkin2011]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!! Congrats I am sooo happy for you! wow 8dpo!!!!!!! please tell me your attempt again??? aww how exciting!! xxooxxoo

[ELP]

:running::running:OMG!!!!! SO excited for you!! That is a clear colorful 2nd line, many congratulations, may all the dreaded m/s associated with a pink;) pregnancy come your way very soon lol!!!!

[rainbowflower]

thank you!! I'm so happy to get a BFP this month as I really think this was as good as our attempt could have got... not perfect, but pretty good!

over the last few days I had had a few little niggles in my lower tummy, as well as some other little things that did make me wonder (hot flushes overnight last night, breasts feeling "tighter"), but mainly on the right so that makes me think it might be a boy and have implanted on the right... but really now I don't care as I just want a take-home baby!

[rainbowflower]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!! Congrats I am sooo happy for you! wow 8dpo!!!!!!! please tell me your attempt again??? aww how exciting!! xxooxxoo

thank you! I know, bit surprised it's that early too... I did get a BFP at 9dpo in the evening with my first pregnancy so was hoping it could happen again. Here's my sway this cycle:


Diet
LE diet for 7 weeks before OV and lost 8lbs since starting diet this time around (now down to 91lbs). I previously did it for 8 weeks and lost loads of weight, so stopped for 1 cycle (5 weeks) to regain weight, which I lost quickly once restarting the diet this time around. This is my weight loss chart since before I started the diet: 1311
I'm allowing myself chicken/turkey twice a week because I'm BF and because I'd struggle to do the diet without this, although I did eat a bit of steak Cornish pasty at O-3
Eating cake and occasional chocolate to stop me losing more weight too fast, trying to limit chocolate before OV
1 can of Sprite Zero a day
Skipping breakfast (or at least holding out until 10.30am before eating), trying to avoid snacking

Supps
Drinking raspberry leaf tea twice a day (or 3 times if the mood takes me) up until OV
1200mcg folic acid
30mg vit B6 before OV, 60mg vit B6 after OV
800mg vitex before OV
Fish oil (1000mg) containing omega 3 only every other day from end of AF to until 6dpo

Timing/Frequency
Compressed FR, aimed to get 3 BD within 24hrs at first "peak" on CBFM
Released at noon on O-3
(faint pos OPK in morning, pos OPK in afternoon)
Released at noon on O-2
BD in evening at O-2 (J&D after 10mins)
(peak on CBFM in morning of O-1)
BD in early hours of the morning at O-1 (J&D after 10mins)
BD in early evening at O-1 (J&D after 5mins)

No big O on any attempt, and had avoided big O for the whole cycle so far

Douche
RepHresh - full applicator- planned to use every 3 days from when the CBFM gives me my first "high" reading, but due to having 8 high days before the peak last cycle I waited a few days to start using it... and used it for the first time the morning I got my pos OPK in the afternoon (O-2)

Antihistamine
None, didn't have much CM this cycle, was quite dry

Exercise
None, other than walking every day. I've certainly lost muscle mass as well as weight

Other
Still BF twice a day
Fertility spell from eBay
Candle wish spell
Lavender oil in humidifier by bed, rose quartz pendant, lavender bubblebath/showergel/handsoap, USB ioniser in office
Pink clothing under mattress
DH is overweight, so hoping swaying pink will be the only benefit to this
OV on day of new moon (will confirm this when I get crosshairs)

[pinkin2011]

You have done a fantastic job rainbow, You must be just over the moon!! Great sway

[suregena]

WOW!!! Amazing! Congratulations!!!

[pinkin2011]

Did the line come up straight away??

[suregena]

Do you notice anything about your CP currently?

[sixhappysons]

Wooo hoo!! Well done Rainbow!! Now go enjoy some breakfast!!! :cheerteam:

[PeonyPrincess]

Eat, eat, eat!! (Have some for the rest of us would you?!) What wonderful news Rainbow! Yay, a January BFP! Just thrilled for you. Your sway was as good as any I have seen. I O only 1 day after you. Pity mine didn't go to plan, or we could have been due date buddies. Now you can sit back and keep advising the rest of us while your little bean gets comfy.

[rainbowflower]

Did the line come up straight away??
it was there after 3mins! I used a FRER because my internet cheapie showed the ghost of a line AFTER the 10mins were up, just like it had for my first pregnancy... I'd saved the pee so used a FRER on it to check


Do you notice anything about your CP currently?
I don't check CP, but after OV I know that it would return to an "infertile" position whether you are pregnant or not because CP isn't a pregnancy indicator


Eat, eat, eat!! (Have some for the rest of us would you?!) What wonderful news Rainbow! Yay, a January BFP! Just thrilled for you. Your sway was as good as any I have seen. I O only 1 day after you.

Aww you'll have to remind me... how didn't yours go to plan?

[Cherry Red]

That's awesome Rainbow! I've been stalking your posts and your plans for your attempts and have been keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. You should be very proud of your sway, wishing you all the very best and a happy and healthy pregnancy :-)

Now Where do I find your successful (at least to get you prego) sway!? At 8ish weeks you can take the red cabbage gender test from youtube that is VERY accurate!!! OoooOOoo I'm SO EXCITED I can't wait!!! LOL Take it before 10 weeks ;)

[jennibel]

lol I thought that was just a pH test based more on what you've eaten? but... no harm in trying it :)

[rainbowflower]

thank you everyone!!

Mocha - I don't have a feeling of it being twins ;)

I'll make a ticker at the weekend! (seeing 3+1 weeks written down sounds like there's soooo long to go!)

[Butterfly Spirit]

lol I thought that was just a pH test based more on what you've eaten? but... no harm in trying it :)

Watch the videos and results... they are ALL accurate to those who interpreted the test correctly that is.. LOL I can think of only one that wasn't.

My own cousin did the test and hers was accurate for BOY! Her mom dreamed she was having a boy, so she decided to take the test at my direction lol errr begging that is.. ;) Her ultrasound confirmed boy! Anyways yes do take and do share! I can't wait to be able to take it!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Now intelligender and the other pink blue pee on a stick one.. Don't even go there!!! LOL Not accurate!

[zanacal]

Oh yeah, what wonderful news! Many, many congratulations Rainbow :D

[littlemissnaughty7]

oh RF im sooooooooooooooooo chuffed for you go pig out on takeaways an that i know i would lol, what do you mean with the right side being boy ???

[rainbowflower]

just eating a kebab and curly fries lol - eaten most of the fries and enjoyed them soooo much. I've missed potato!

LMN7 - they say that if it implants on the right it's a boy, and on the left it's a girl (well, it's 95% accurate or something)

[zanacal]

Don't give it a second thought Rainbow, I'm pretty sure I had cramps and twinges all over my tummy - left, right and centre! Look after yourself and enjoy those curly fries :D

[mydream]

Congrats!!!

[maybeoneday]
