Hi all! :wave:

Thought it would be nice to start a little TTC group for those trying this month so we can encourage each other on!

This is our first month TTC after about 6 weeks of diet / supplement / exercise prep (I've been taking folic acid and multivits for longer). I've just finished my period so first attempt should be in about a week! :nails: Feeling nervous but ready to get going, I find the waiting really hard.

How is everyone doing mentally and where are you all in your cycles?

I'm swaying blue in Winter/Spring 2021! I keep going back and forth on when to start attempting. DD turns two in January so we will likely start trying some time after that. Sending lots of blue dust to everyone here!

Foxcubblue do you have your last blue sway posted on here? Would love to hear how that was different compared to when you conceived your daughters. :)

Hey there!!!
I am also planning to attempt end of December/beginning of January!

CD1 will start around 21st December, so after that I will be going in for my attempts. My fertile days are around 2-4th January 2021. I’ll be tracking with OPKS.

August 2017 I conceived my DS with a mild boy sway. I was concentrating more on upping my chances of fertility. I did the same this time round. I’d be happy either way but it would be lovely to have a brother for my DS.

I’ve carried on normal exercise, and my diet is fairly “boy” friendly. Always eating lots of protein from salmon, tuna, meat (beef,lamb and goat), chicken, lentils and beans. That’s just part of our normal food we eat. But all in all my aim is to conceive! So I’ve been concentrating on eating foods that are good for pre pregnancy and have some nutritional value to it.

When will you ladies be BD’ing?

Hello everyone! So good to hear from you all.

Goofygurl - hopefully I've linked my previous sway below. Main changes from my girls were diet and exercise based - I naturally prefer a very carb based diet (pasta and toast are favourite!) and I also naturally have a very low BMI, I find it hard to maintain weight. My exercise of choice is definitely cardio too over weights! I don't think timing is a big one for me, I have always been keen to get pregnant so multiple attempts at the relevant time, but interestingly I do have a very low sex drive so DTD is sometimes not very frequent in our house (DH is extremely patient!). But prior to conceiving my son we DTD unprotected over other day from the end of AF, which is not what we did with the girls.

Afya - do you have any other children, or are you perhaps just generally boy friendly?

Kacerog - which bit are you most nervous about?

Hello Everyone!

Good luck to all of you attempting this month. I plan to attempt either in January or February. I'm still not sure when to try.

My predicted ovulation date for this month is on New year's Eve and I am wonder how I am going to convince DH to BD with protection.

Blue dust to all you wonderful ladies.

Hi everyone.

I have started swaying too. I am not when is my month yet as I have just got everything for supplements. I have lightly started my diet and exercises.

I am not sure if I am doing enough. anyone asked DH to use L-arginine or Carnitine? He doesnt seems like very keen to take it so little nervous.

what are all the things your DH are doing? please let me know. how much important do you think dh diet , workout and all. I can do everything possible but I am not sure how much/I need to, ask him.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

What are the things you planning to do closer to attempt? Like mucinex/ coffee etc

Unprotected bd before ovulation- how is everyone planned? Does it mean unprotected but pull out or release inside away from fertile window?

Jazmin, when I conceived my DS I did Mucinex I believe around the time of AF or after AF took it up until positive opk. But I’m sure atomic will chime in.

I also kept up lemon water a month or so before. I naturally drink a lot of water so it’s important we stay hydrated.
We had unprotected Sex with DH releasing inside soon as AF finished. Did the 2-4days and then went for multiple times after opk.. at this point I was mostly increasing chances of conceive and God blessed me with a DS.

Yes, this sounds extremely similar to what I did! DH also had a can of coke / red bull about half an hour before main attempts, and I tried to stay static after all attempts for half an hour or so

If your husband won't do or take certain things, that's ok!! Just leave it out if you need to. It's not worth the stress and anxiety of trying to get him to do things he refuses to.

Hi aambel!

My DH is taking arginine and carnitine as he’s happy to, but I really don’t think it’s a deal breaker. There are more important things. He’s also taking multivitamin, fish oil and coq10. Diet-wise he eats what I eat, so just less carbs and more meat and protein than usual (plus lots of fruit and veggies, although we’re pretty good on that anyway). He’s also stopped cycling and running and instead does weights 4/5 times a week.

One thing to be aware of with this approach is that when you're trying for several attempts in the fertile window, if your hubby is all wired from caffeine, he may not be able to sleep after the attempt and this leads to him running out of steam for the subsequent attempts! This has happened quite a few times - the husband was so exhausted after a sleepless night the first attempt, he didn't want to or couldn't have any of the followup attempts. Since caffeine right before BD hasn't been definitively proven to help anyway it may not be worht the risk if your husband reacts strongly to caffeine.

Thanks Atomic - will defo keep this in mind and see how we go. Hopefully should be ok as not much impacts on DH’s sleep (or his stamina in other areas!!!!!) but perhaps we’ll do a trial run before the critical point or just keep caffeine for the morning attempt.

I feel pretty confident that my diet is way more boy friendly than it was when I conceived my daughter. I eat way more protein, and especially fruits and veggies. I have oral allergy syndrome so my body basically thinks the protein in anything that grows from trees is pollen from the tree and my immune system attacks it. It used to be awful. Lol but now I get allergy shots and can eat everything I want to. It’s amazing. So lots of protein, some carbs, nuts, fruits/veggies. I also feel great about my work outs since I gained a few pounds and can tell I have more muscle. I’m nervous about attempts. I conceived my daughter on the night of positive OPK (just one attempt during fertile window), so I think the plan is to do every 2-3 days unprotected and then multiple attempts before, during, and right after ovulation. The problem is that I usually ovulate between CD 14-17, but this last cycle I ovulated on CD 19 so I don’t know if I’ll ovulate on the earlier or later side. I’ll just have to pay attention to fertile signs and my OPKs. I also get Mittelshmerz so that’ll be helpful. My DH is also quitting chewing right now so I’m thankful for that, but that makes me a bit nervous too that it’ll sway pink. He’s tobacco free now, but it’s only been a couple weeks.

Thanks so much.

Yes I am also taking lemon water. Not strictly every single day but almost 5 days in a week about 500ml. I was not very good at drinking enough water, i still struggle to drink especially when it is winter here. I am pushing myself to make it 1 to 1.5 ltr water a day- plus I am having two cups of tea and few ml of v8 or coconut water or lemon water ( not all everyday) so hopefully that all added up 2.5 ltr a day.

I am practicing with this and last month Bding every 2-4 days lol. We were once or twice a week couple, when we had our dds. Especially we both were at work and sometimes it used to be just weekend as we were always tired once we got home. dh seems very happy about the 2-4 days technique lol.

Bd patterns, eating very often (more meat) and workout are definitely new in my sway compared to how it was with my girls. On top of that, we never had any kind of supplements in the past- that's also new.

My dh also did cycling but he haven't done it since feb/march. That is one big thing he have given up. So with dd2 he was cycling , with dd1 , he wasn't.

we have done stared attempts right after my period and w have had attempts on CD4, Cd6, CD9 and I think next will be CD12, CD13, CD14 morning and night and CD 15 noon. Since my ovulation usually happens between CD15-12pm and CD16-9am.
I check with clearblue advanced fertility and usually i get flashing smiley on day 12 and peak OPK on CD14-pm.

Some month I get Flashing on CD14 and peak OPK on CD17-pm. So lets see how it will be this month.

December 14th, 2020, 09:42 AM
Oohh great. [emoji4] I have been using cheap strips all this time. Wondering if i should get the clearblue opk for this and next cycle.
Do you think it's useful? And when do you start using opk testers.. straight after period?

December 14th, 2020, 09:55 AM
I think its useful in a way that you can predict when you will get your surge. usually you get flashing smiley 3 or 4 days before your OPK gets positive. So I usually get flashing smiley on CD11 or CD12 and get surge on OPK CD14.
Then I can find my -3 Days to ovulation.
Since sperm is alive for 72 hours my plan is to not to waste sperm before that time and start my attempts around 72 hours to the ovulation. So if i get lashing on CD12 i start attempts on CD 12 and i will get surge on CD14 and ovulate night of CD15.

I recommend you to use this at least 2 cycles before your main cycle to get familiar to the device and how your body is behaving around ovulation time. Clearblue advanced is measuring both Estrogen and LH.

If your morning urine is diluted don't use it with morning urine as it is mentioned in its guideline. Because in that case you can go moth without seeing any flashing smiley.
I read a lot of forums and I found out that I should use send urine of the day. So i i wake up at 7:30 I pee as I wake up and on 7:45 I pee to test.

Hi Jazmin!
I've been using cheap strips as well and over the last few months I've noticed I get an almost positive or positive (test line just about as dark as the control line) before my peak (darker than the control). I normally get a peak reading for approxinately 24 hours so I will likely start my attempts from first indication of a positive! I found the cheapies work for me as I've gotten a clear progression pattern on them consistently for the last 3 months. Hope that helps!

rahaye_raha
December 14th, 2020, 10:15 AM
for me is totally negative CD13 and CD 14 morning. Around CD 11 I get a lighter test line compared to control line and CD15 morning I see the surge and by CD15 , the test line gets lighter than the control line again and CD16 morning is totally negative.
Clearblue advanced shows flashing smiley two days before LH Positive, so it helps me to find 72 hours before ovulation.

December 14th, 2020, 10:59 AM

I’ve tried both the cheap strips and the CB opk. I’ve used clear blue opk for 2 of my previous pregnancies and it’s always helped me. I have a difficult time understanding the cheapies, some days the lines are the same exact color. However my November cycle I got a very dark line on the Strips and a peak smiley on CD15 on the same day. I’m guessing they do seem to be working good for me. The positive thing about the cheapies are your able to test through out the day. They are cheap and you have multiple tests your able to use, especially if your a serial tester lol. The cheapies work better with afternoon urine.

Anyone Ttc anytime soon?
CD 1 starts next week for me, trying to be very calm and just taking each day as it comes. I find the best way and the MOST hardest way is to keep calm and relaxed. I’m really trying to be so relaxed and natural about this entire ttc business lol. Really don’t want to stress myself and DH out. I can be very very very regimental about things and what things to be done in a particular order.

Hopefully I’ll be done with AF by 26th December! And start my attempts.

You are right! Sometimes with cheap sticks I get confused as they look the same.

i have been temping along with the sticks , and it was all ok until last month. I totally got lost last month and was very confused. Lol especially when I couldn't temp fir few days.

I have been trying not to think too much about sway, try and stay calm but i even get dreams about pregnancy.. gender etc. Lol.. And then its keeping coming back to me and I get anxious and worried lol .

I’m on CD 1 today of our first TTC cycle. We’ve been saying we’ll start trying in December since June so I can’t believe it’s actually here! Ahh! Lol I’ve been trying to keep up with calorie/protein intake and exercising so hopefully it’s enough. My period should be done on the 18th so we’ll start attempts after that. I’m supposed to ovulate a couple days after Christmas so I’ll make sure to eat a lot of Christmas dinner too. Lol

Good luck!
I am CD11 today and I expect ovulation on day 16(19th December) or Cd19(22 December)

I am not sure if I am really good to go with the diet and supplements!! I have a daughter and I am trying for a boy (My husband is not aware since he prefers another girl), but if We get another girl we will be happy too.

I am just lucky in a way that he has high sex drive so he will go every night if I want him to do so.

Omg! Exactly the same here.

I came down with a little cold and a runny nose etc. but I’m feeling alright keeping up my vitamin C intake and lots of fluids.
My fertile days are also around 30th Dec-2nd Jan..
Story of my life. I very rarely come on this early. My diet hasn’t changed much apart from adding in more regular walks and jogs. Haven’t taken any other extra supps. Always take prenatal and vitamin D. I’ve started taking Mucinex I was a little congested but from today I’ll be taking it regularly. I usually have EWCM a lot of it but with my cold and congestion and just because it’s the TTC month I’m using it as extra precaution.

Right?! My husband and I both have congestion. He just said he has muscle aches and the chills and started taking DayQuil which basically solidified that we won’t be trying this month. Mine moved to my chest this morning and I had started taking Mucinex already to help with EWCM and this congestion. I also just got my allergy shots on Wednesday so that’s probably not helping either. I swear we always get this same sickness once a year around this time. We don’t think it’s Covid luckily, but are watching it. And that’s the story of my life too, but the opposite. I ovulated later than normal last month so it pushed my period back to the 14th. Since getting my IUD out in June I’ve ovulated between CD 14-17 and this was on CD 19 so I guess it wasn’t that delayed at least. It’s good you’re being extra precautious! I have no idea what we’re doing now or if being sick sways and how long to wait.

I also ended up with heavy headache yesterday. Had painkillers and a good sleep. Feel much better today. I had extra oranges and ssoo much warm water, hopefully doesn't return. It felt like sinus headache and I do get it often. I really hope it doesn't come back and end up with antibiotics closer to my attempt [emoji24]

Never thought I’d be Ttc at 30, lol it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes to conceive. What about all of you ladies?

I'm not very satisfied with the bedding. It was a surprise OPK positive on CD15. I was expecting positive OPK on CD17 and my plan was to DTD on CD15-night, CD16-night, CD17-9pm and CD18-11am.
But it didn't happen as i had planned and my bedding was CD4, Cd6-night, Cd9-night, CD12-1pm, Cd15-10am, Cd15-11pm and CD16-2pm and CD17-2pm.

From the ovulation pain on right side I think ovulation happened around CD16-11pm.
I am afraid that the sperms from my bedding on CD16-2pm has not had enough time to travel up to the egg and go through capacitation process. this is my biggest worry right now and that why i hope it doesn't stick so that i can try better next month. I was also super dry this month!

Atomic how log does capacitation take? Can I hope for around 8 hours?

With DS we BD once at ovulation, with DD1, one attempt at O-2, with DD2 I had late ovulation. I had wanted a boy and tried shettles method and BD once on CD14 my expected ovulation date, but I didn't ovulate till cd17- cd21. So we just had one attempt.

By February we will start attempting, I hope to get in 3-5 attempts after positive opk. We have already started having regular sex. For now it's every 4 days, when my period stops I hope to increase it to every 2-3 days. Hopefully by February we'll be ready.

Have you also had attempts this month?

I do get ovulation pain some months though I am not sure if it is before (how long before) or during ovulation.
This cycle I had some sticking kind of pain between CD5-CD11. Then no pain until CD16. I got positive OPK (test line as dark as control line) on the morning of CD15 (my LH level on 18miu/ml according to Femometer Ivy- on the peak day it reaches to 65miu/ml), and on the CD16-9am i got my peak(test line darker than control line and LH level on 40miu/ml on Femometer Ivy), and on CD16 pm the test line stared getting lighter but still as dark as control line. on CD16-17pm my pain started until CD16-23:30.
on CD17-9am my OPK was still positive and around lunch time on CD17 the test line started getting lighter than the control line.

So I am not sure of i have ovulates on CD17 or on CD16 night time.

My own guess is that my ovulation has happened some time between CD16-11pm and CD17-6am.

we have tried hard that in the recent 3 month my hubby gets to release every 2-7 days but this month that was the TCC month, we had unprotected sex on CD4, Cd6, CD9 and CD12.
On CD15-am I got positive OPK and it was peak on CD16 morning and stayed positive until CD17-1pm and our main BDs were CD15-10am, CD15-11pm, CD16-2pm and CD17-2pm.

If I don't pregnant this month we will start BDing every night from CD12 and once I get OPK do every 12-18hours BDing. I usually get positive OPK between CD14 and CD18.

So I am not sure of i have ovulates on CD17 or on CD16 night time.

My own guess is that my ovulation has happened some time between CD16-11pm and CD17-6am.If your guess is right then you might have gotten in 3 attempts before ovulation occurred. Sending lots of blue dust your way.

Extremely awkward as we’ve had my brother staying the last few days so he’s had to know what going on and it’s been much harder to do really good final push on diet etc - so I’m a bit worried about that, but pleased that we were able to get our attempts in despite constant terror about possibility of interruption by our children and cousins!!!

Those attempts sounds promising! It’s exactly the same as what me and DH did when we last conceived and by gods will it was a boy!

We’re following the same right now. I’m on CD9 we’re doing our usual BD pattern of every 2-4 days. Waiting to get some positive opk signs and also try for O-2, O-1 and O day.

The last time I used the Clear blue opk I got 3 days of a flashing smiley and then my Peak.

This cycle was very frustrating - last cycle I had two days of flashing, then peak on CD16. This month I had ten days of flashing and finally had my positive on CD23, so a week later than normal! The anticipatory waiting was really difficult, I thought it would be an anovulatory cycle, was soooo relieved to finally see the positive OPK!

Afya don't give up - I was exactly the same, the issue was simply a very delayed ovulation - my EWCM did arrive in the end!

This cycle was very frustrating - last cycle I had two days of flashing, then peak on CD16. This month I had ten days of flashing and finally had my positive on CD23, so a week later than normal! The anticipatory waiting was really difficult, I thought it would be an anovulatory cycle, was soooo relieved to finally see the positive OPK!

I think the reason can be the food and diet we have when it comes to swaying month.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAfya, try to relax and keep on having attempts. Your ovulation could be delayed or this might not be a month with lots of ecwm for you. You did say earlier that you had a bit of cold. Just try to relax and keep having attempts. Good luck to you and lots of blue dust your way.

Looks like I ended up with O-6, O-3, O-1, O, and O+1 for my attempts. I was trying for O-2 instead of O-3, but with BDing every 2-3 days that’s just the way it worked out. Plus my LH levels and fertile signs were completely different this month. I also had a ton of cramping all week for some reason. That seems to be how things work. Lol I did ovulate with the full moon though so maybe that will be lucky (if you believe in that stuff).

Awwwww congratulations! Excited for you. It’s so nice seeing BFPS! So that’s our first BFP so far? Hopefully more to come.

I’ve finally got my usual O pains and EWCM coming through. I got a darker line on the Wondfo today and another flashy smiley.
DH and I were completely out of it and super tired last night so we ended up Dtd this morning as oppose to yesterday.
So that makes it O-4, O-1 for us so far, that’s if I get a PEAK tomorrow otherwise today is O-2 for us. I feel quite bummed about missing last night but hopefully we’ll save energy for the multiple BDS once I get my peak.

good luck with your attempts and Happy new year.

I got also surprised this month by OPK since I didn't have any flashy smiley day. I got two same color lines on my CD15 and peak on CD16 and ovulation pain CD16-night.
We ended BDing on CD4, Cd6, CD9, CD12, CD15-morning, CD15-night, CD16-noon, CD17-noon.

according to my ovulation pain i guess ovulation happened on CD16-night to CD-17 morning but my Femometer IVy says Ovulation happened on CD17 Morning. So Hopefully we have got 3 attempts for the BFP.

You definitely got your attempt in the micro window. That’s what I’m really trying to aim for.

I could possible get a peak tomorrow morning, so far I’ve had 3 days of flashy smiley. The Wondfo is dark but not dark as or more than the control line. So let’s see, the apps are saying O day is 1st or 2nd Jan. So I’m going to try and hit it tomorrow and the day after. Basically do everyday from tomorrow.

Hey ladies.. We’ve pretty much completed all our attempts in the fertile window for this month!

Feeling a little let down with our attempts, don’t think we got enough in.

We BD’ every 2-4 days and for the micro window we did O-3, O-1, morning of Opk and next day again. And tomorrow we will Dtd hopefully all goes well.

So I got a peak and darker test line on 1st Jan (CD 14) and lots EWCM so could have O’d 2nd Jan?

Does it mean today I am 1DPO?

Your attempts sound like mine and I’m hoping we got enough attempts in too. I’m pretty sure you’d be 1DPO today if you got your positive on Jan 1st. I’m having cramping that I think might be implantation and am only 5DPO today so I guess we shall see.

When I conceived my DS I had this constant pinching type of feeling on my right ovary side. And constant cramping, I was about 4-5dpo too. At that point I wasn’t sure if I was pregnant but at 12-13dpo it was confirmed.

You never know, it could be implantation.

I was hoping to do O-2 and get a morning and night BD on the day of OPK but it wasn’t happening. Ahhhh let’s see, it’s going to be a little wait.
My sixth sense tells me I’ll be Ttc again next month.

That’s exactly what I felt! It started last night. The cramping was more like stretching than my period cramps, but I could just be symptom spotting. Trying not to get my hopes up so I’ll just wait and see. And I was also hoping to get O-2 and another on O morning, but my OPK was weird this month and didn’t get as high as it usually does so I thought I’d peak the next morning and never did. Luckily we had done it at O-3 and O-1 or I’d be more concerned. Good luck! Hoping you get your BFP!

I’m really not trying to symptom spot at all, but a few things have raised a red flag for me lol. I’ll be 5dpo tomorrow and feeling period like cramping (which I never get this early on) and boobs ache every so often. But I’m not going to accept anything until I see an actual BFP because I know women have had the most strangest period symptoms they’ve never experienced before, and I might just be experiencing those symptoms for the first time! But then on the other hand I experienced the exact same symptoms around the same time I had conceived DS. It’s confusing me.

AF is due in about 11-10 days I have some time

Anybody in the 2WW experiencing anything ? When can we start taking pregnancy tests? I’ve got the Wondfo pregnancy strips and clinicguard ones too...

Looks like we’re in the same boat. I’m 9DPO and decided to test today, but it was negative. Still early though. I got my positive with my daughter at 10DPO. I had those cramps 4-5DPO, sore boobs, lotiony CM, tired (but it could be the winter weather messing with me). My period is due in 2 days. I’m trying to remember that I thought I was pregnant the month before I conceived my daughter and then the month I did conceive I thought my period was coming. So you never really know until it goes positive. Good luck! I hope you get your BFP!

AF is supposed to be here today or tomorrow but no signs of her! I took another test this morning at 11DPO but it’s still negative. If AF isn’t here tomorrow I’ll take a more sensitive test since I’m still taking the cheaper ones. My AF is very consistent so if it’s coming it should be here tomorrow.

I totally know what you mean. My body is playing tricks on me too. My boobs are sore which is rare for me so that’s the biggest sign. Some times I’m so certain I am and then I’m like “well maybe not”. I got pregnant quickly last time but that was 5 years ago so it might take more time now. I hope your AF doesn’t come!

My symptoms have slowly stopped.. nipples aren’t as tingly as before.

Oh for sure! And maybe I can get the timing better this month. Plus we had colds which I’m sure didn’t help. The biggest symptoms were that the side of my boobs hurt really bad, they looked bigger, and I had cramping that I thought was implantation. My boobs don’t normally hurt before my period, but I know those are all PMS symptoms too. They also stopped hurting the day before I got my period so that’s when I started to question it.

Hopefully you still get your BFP. If not, maybe January will be our month. It’s hard not to POAS too early when you have all of them. But I’m going to try to wait longer this month. I’m glad I didn’t take my expensive ones. We’ll be ovulating around the same time. I’m supposed to ovulate around the 26th.

Hey ladies, hope your all doing well.
I got my BFP last week... I got faint lines on a first response at CD 10 and 12 and used a CB digital to show hubby.
I was PRETTTY sure something was up with me, I got the same early symptoms as I did with my DS. Stinging/tingly nipples and slight nausea.
I am currently 5 weeks according to the due date calculated my Due Date is 24-25th September.
My first appointment will be at 8weeks!

Hello Ladies, how is everyone doing?

I've just completed my attempts, it wasn't easy but we got there at last. Sex is fun when it's not planned, but once it has to do with TTC, it's a different ball game altogether.

My experience this week made me understand and appreciate the effort that goes into TTC while swaying. I truly understand how it must feel to try so hard to sway and have all attempts just to get a bfn. Because I would be very sad to have done all that work just to get a bfn. So my heart goes out to all those who are still trying. Good luck to y'all.

So we had unprotected attempts all through, and b'd cd 5, 7, 8, 11, 12 (POS opk), 13(morning and night). I hope to add in one more attempt today cd14, but if it can't happen then it will be tomorrow and every other day from then.

For my peace of mind, I plan to not symptom spot at all, and I won't test till a day after AF is due. In fact, I'll try not to remember I'm even TTC at all.

Hoping for a bfp!!!

Oh for sure! And maybe I can get the timing better this month. Plus we had colds which I’m sure didn’t help. The biggest symptoms were that the side of my boobs hurt really bad, they looked bigger, and I had cramping that I thought was implantation. My boobs don’t normally hurt before my period, but I know those are all PMS symptoms too. They also stopped hurting the day before I got my period so that’s when I started to question it.

Hopefully you still get your BFP. If not, maybe January will be our month. It’s hard not to POAS too early when you have all of them. But I’m going to try to wait longer this month. I’m glad I didn’t take my expensive ones. We’ll be ovulating around the same time. I’m supposed to ovulate around the 26th.

Hey! I did! I ovulated on the 25th so just got done with attempts last night. This month has been ridiculous though so who knows. Lol we had a windstorm that knocked our power out for 5 days and trees were everywhere. On top of that we found out the military is moving us across the country in March so we’ve been getting our house ready to put on the market and trying to find a place to buy without being able to be in the new state. The good news is that we feel like the move is good stress because we’ve been waiting to hear about this move for a year (due to Covid pushing everything back). The power outage was not since we lost all our food in the fridge. Lol it was a way to clean out the fridge before the move though so there’s that. We almost didn’t attempt but I had already been doing the timing before the fertile window and didn’t want to have a cut off or miss out on a month. So we’ll see if it worked and how all of that swayed. Still been good on diet and exercise though so there’s that. Good luck and blue dust to you too!

Hello Ladies, how is everyone doing? It's gotten very quiet here after all the bfps.

Jazmin how are you preparing for your attempt this month? Successn3 are you still trying?

Kacerog, how is the 2ww going[emoji16]? I have tried not to symptom spot but it's very difficult. I know it's too early to have any real symptom but I've found myself suspecting every little ache and twinge.

I really really don't want to test before Af is due but I'm not sure I'm that strong. The only thing preventing me from poas is that I don't have any hpts at home.

For now I don't feel pregnant but AF is due Tuesday next week. Fx till then.

Doing good here! 7DPO and just waiting. AF is due Saturday. I feel the same as I did last month so I have no idea. Lol I’ve been so busy getting my house ready to move that I haven’t been symptom spotting as much (probably good for me). The only thing I’ve really noticed is that my face is clearer than normal and I usually break out after ovulation. But other than that still crampy. Lol Good luck! [emoji170] Hope we get our BFPs soon! If I’m not pregnant, I’m hoping for February because my husband has my whole fertile week off and it’s both of our 30th birthdays that week!

Hello ladies :)
Good luck with your sways and BFPs :)

As some of you know, This is my second pregnancy and I have a DD. I have almost the same symptoms (which is being almost symptom free) and I am currently week 8 (week 7 according to the ultrasound I had last week)

And I don't know the gender yet. Last week they saw two fetus with heart beat and they said I'm am 6w6d but according to my ovulation I should have been 7w4d.

Anyhow we don't have twins in the family ��
So, I hope one of them is a boy and the other girl. I always liked to have 2 daughters and 1 son.

But it is common that one of the twins vanishes until week 13. So lets see what is going to happen.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHello Jazmin, it's great that you are keeping up with the diet and exercise. I'm sure I'm out this month but I haven't been able to find the heart and strength to continue with diet and exercise .

I'm 8dpo but I have no real symptoms at all and it's quite discouraging. I feel the strong urge to test but I'm fighting it, though I'm not sure I'll last till 10dpo[emoji16]. AF is due Tuesday next week, I might just test before then.

Good luck with your sway.

Thank you, and I wish you too the best.

8dp is early but I know what you mean. I have plenty of cheap preg sticks here and i bet I won't be waiting until AF.. it is hard lol.

How did it go? Prayers for ur bfp.. so you can relax from workout and diet [emoji4]


HE diet is very difficult for me too. Especially when I am ssoo used not to eat much and i dont mind starving lol. Usually i wait until i feel very hungry to eat.. so at the moment i have to remind myself to nibble on something and not to wait until I feel very hungry.

Ramadan is coming up and I really hope I fall pregg before that as I cant keep up with diet and ramadan [emoji24]


My AF was meant to come but I think it will be delayed now as my ovulation in this month was late. I just got my opk yesterday on CD23!!

Sorry AF came kace but good news on your house. That is sorted and out from your mind [emoji4] we will be trying together this month.

I am kinda lost here with my AF and ovulation now that this month I ovulated really late- unusual for me. So now I have no idea what to do with my DH's holidays that he booked [emoji32]. I hope he can push it maybe one week further and I hope I end up ovulating that week. I cant believe this is happening the month I wanted attempt. Lol

I will try to relax and not to worry about it much and take it as it comes.

I can feel how you feel, i was getting so worried it just seems if your doing everything right it would be easy. But sometimes its just not the right month i guess. It will happen try to relax with it i know its so hard but it will be worth it. Best of luck!!!

There is definitely nothing wrong with you! I think they say it’s normal to take 6 months to a year before needing to get checked out. We just have to do the best we can and hope for the best. I changed to more of a “boy” diet 6 months before attempts, full HE 3 months before attempts and then took 3 months to get BFP after that. Which I know isn’t long at all for some, but I also didn’t know if I could keep up with swaying. I got my BFP with my daughter quickly so I was starting to get worried as well, but then it happened. Praying for the same for you! [emoji170] Hope you get your BFP soon.

I have a 27 day cycle and so far I've bd cd 6,7,9,12(2times),13 and 14. I had a positive opk on cd12.

I hope I get my bfp this month. If I don't, I'll just keep trying and waiting for God's time.

I hope all you pregnant ladies are enjoying your pregnancy. I can't wait to be pregnant again, I never knew I would want it this much. But I know God's time is the best.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 9months.

Hi ladies congrats to all on your pregnancies and best of luck to all trying, only gave a brief scan over the thread treens I see you swayed boy and having a boy in August huge congrats, do you mind me asking is your sway plan up to see if I can get any tips? I have 3 girls and as this is going to be our last baby we would love a little boy. My biggest concern atm is swapping cardio for weights mainly cause i don't own any lol and finding it hard to buy them as they seem to be sold out online 😔 We are hoping to start trying in about 6 weeks I am currently on cd 2 this month and will start on next cycle in June. I have to admit I am most nervous of jumping from 3 kids to 4 and as I suffered quite bad on my last 2 girls with spd I am also nervous of how well my body will hold up 🤞

If you're doing body weight exercises then you ARE lifting weights, just with the weight of your body! It's the same thing.
