New here: TTC a summer babygirl

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking for 6 weeks and I've been celebrating with a few of you when you've had your BFPs :).

I'm 32, from the US but currently live in the UK. I have a lovely 2 1/2 year old boy who's my everything but now we are hoping to conceive a girl. Currently outnumbered by boys (my husband, little boy and our dog Harry). I would consider myself quite girly and my dream is to have a little girl to complete my family. I'm 5'3 and 118lbs although i suspect I've dropped a couple pounds recently. Tbh I have been on a girl diet without knowing for a long time. I don't have breakfast, have a huge cup of coffee in the morning, do dancing for exercise (2-3x a week), and usually stay away from red meat. I do eat pretty normal during lunch and dinner but have started to force myself to have more protein.

Thinking back when I conceived my little boy my diet was different. Was around 118lbs too but I do remember having oatmeal or cereal for bfast, was taking multivitamins, and my diet was "heartier" (I do remember working out in order to not gain weight). I was lucky enough to conceive on our first try so I'm hoping to get just as lucky this time around.

I had my Mirena removed on sept 1st so this is my first cycle TTC. Currently temping and using OPKS. I was testing from the end of my period til about CD12 when I thought I had a positive LH test(I didnt, was just too eager to see a positive) BD'd and stopped testing. I know I should’ve kept testing but I wanted to save my testing strips for my next cycle (silly I know). On CD17 I randomly decided to test in the morning and BAM. Got a blazing positive. Unfortunately my husband fell asleep on me that day :rolleyes: and we BD'd the next morning (CD18). I'm temping but my sleep hasn't been great lately- still hoping I can tell if I ovulated...


Sorry for my ramble! Nice to meet you all! Here's to patience, pink dust and lots of luck for everyone <3 :cheer:

Hi and welcome out of lurkdom Starry!

I can't quite tell from your chart if you've ovulated or not yet. I need another day or two of temps to confirm (tho the pos OPK and temp dip does look like it, we need those high temps now to prove it!)

Thanks atomic! I just realized I double posted :oops: thought this first one didn't post so posted again yesterday. My bad!
I have an updated chart now and it looks promising. Fingers crossed!
