Hi Hun,
Are you in your 2ww?
Not due my AF until 13th Dec, going to be a long wait!! Not sure when or IF i have ovulated yet as only had faint lines on the OPKs since 25th Nov.
Lets hope for the best Christmas pressie ever! :ttcgirl:
Hi JP15!
I'm actually almost 33 weeks pregnant but hang about to offer advice when I can and support for anyone ttc or in the 2ww :)
Looking forward to this month and many bfps - hopefully all of you! Wouldn't that be something!!

What opks are you using and what time aee you testing?
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Jumping onto here too.
I'll be testing Dec 4th week on... Af is due Dec 10th.
Hoping for a bfp before ivf with gender selection in Jan. Re will prob put me onto BC for Dec before my cycle so I won't get another shot on our own.
This is it for my swaying journey. Feels so odd saying that since I've been on it for over 2 years now [emoji22]
Hi everyone! Super excited to begin swaying. Excuse the long post. I’m planning to ttc late jan/early feb and thought I’d begin the process.
Supplements:
Daily.
-Fish oil 210mg
-Ginseng 500mg
-Multivitamins (Zn 10mcg, vit D 400 IU, folic acid 200mcg, selenium 32mcg etc)
Plan to stock up on.
-Vit D tabs for DH and myself. Finished one that was combined with calcium.
-EPO (never used)
-Folic acid? I think I’ll get the folate ones.
Tracking.
- BBT (thermometer just arrived)
- opk (got 10 cheap tests with thermometer planning on ordering more cheap ones and clear blue for actual ttc month (purple?blue?pink? Help)
*going to be my first month tracking [emoji33][emoji16]
Diet:
Morning.
-Celery green juice OR lemon-ginger-turmeric-honey tea)
- Porridge with dates cinnamon OR Muesli (fruit n nut) OR avocado baked beans toast. 1/2-3/4 cup full fat milk with each option
Snack
-Cucumber mint juice OR lemon lime juice
- Nuts (some salted)
Lunch
- blue berry-wheat grass-spirulina-banana-orange-coriander-maca powder smoothie.
- a fruity eg half a melon or papaya or apple etc
Early supper
- high protein (meat/fish/quinoa/lentils)
-high veges
-Sweet potato/potato/sometimes rice or pasta but rarely these days.
Snack
- something sweet (carbs)
- ginger-thyme-lemon-fennel seed tea
Misc:
-Use sea salt to cook and try to generously season food with it to get a good amount of sodium.
-Even though winter- expose myself to sunshine every moment I can.
-Sleeping well lately. Used to be insomniac when I was ttc DD.
Exercise:
-None yet. Not really active but want to begin light lifting weights today especially with recent muscle wasting I noticed.
I’m fully committed and invested in this. If I end up ttc a girl then no harm done! If anything mummy will be healthier albeit heavier. [emoji6]
Anything I missed? Tips? Corrections?
Oh and planning to temp vaginally, what should I clean thermometer with? Any rules?
I’m not out yet! But due my period 1st December! My cycles always work out that way because I have 31 day cycles lol!
Hi ladies! I’m hoping TTC this month. I was wondering what brand of ovulation strips you use?

To be honest it is the most i have had since TTC, I've always had nothing at all until this month so hopefully moving in the right direction. :fx:
I ovulated 19 this month:)
Are those sufficient on their own or would a clear blue back up help? Seen a couple people use them in tandem. I’m not sure when my O is and planning to find out this dec.Quote:

Hi ladies! [emoji112]
I am excited to be here! I have been pre swaying blue for about a year(more nutritious eating, supps), but just started upping my calories a couple weeks ago!
I won’t be ovulating in December until the 27/28 so I have a while to wait, just longer on he diet :).

Everything I’ve been doing for ttc blue is polar opposite of when I conceived my two little ladies!! I am so excited to really start trying!

Oh wow lucky girl, I absolutely love salmon too 🤤 I’m excited for you too!! I’m trying to get the 6-8weeks of proper HE then probably begin ttc sometime in Jan. I can’t wait. Let’s do this!!!Quote:

Robin will you be testing the trigger out or just waiting it out?
I'm so sad to see this is your last cycle before the IVF process begins and hope so much you get your bfp so you don't need to go any further down that road. In saying that, if it turns out you need to I hope with everything I have your IVF journey is short and ends in the sweetest way possible [emoji173]
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
If I were you I’d try before because when ttc my DD, I remember was stressed out, tired and anxious. Not things you want. Try not to think of the move- might subconsciously stress you.

Filzma that all sounds great! I'm not up to date with latest and greatest info blue or pink sway wise but sounds like you're on the right track. Copy that post and paste it into a new thread (create one) under the ttc a boy forum for confirmation from Atomic though if that suits? In relation to digi opks, I definitely prefer the dual hormone ones that use fmu!!! So much easier and less stress than trying to limit fluids and doing holds etc plus I like the fact it tracks two hormones :) But some get frustrated with flashing smileys before the solid so kinda depends on your temperament I guess? With cleaning the thermometer for vaginal temping I just used alcohol wipes/swabs that I bought from my local pharmacy/chemist.

Oh and can I suggest raised hips after bding for at least half hour? Pop a pillow under your butt to prop them up [emoji6]
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Yeah that’s a good point. I’ll have to start packing my house up soon but I’m hoping the organization/packing and planning of everything helps sway blue for me if we do go ahead with December ttc!Quote:

JP15 I gave up swaying long before this sticky bean but love this site and its people so much I stuck around [emoji3]
Did you get instructions with your opks? Most dip tests aren't good for testing with prior to 11am, the best time (generally speaking) is between 1-2pm and later in the evening if you want to test twice.

Sorry for the multiple posts, Tapatalk did the dumbest update which no longer enables me to see previous posts as I write my own so I have to address them one at a time [emoji30] I'll be gone for awhile but will check in later today [emoji3]

I will prob start to rest out at 5dpo. It's usually gone by 7dpo.
Robin I am so sad to hear what a tough time you have had :( truly sending all the luck I possibly can your way for this month!!
Hi! I’m actually in the US!Quote:

Robin take heart dear, everything will workout in good time. So sorry things are tough [emoji177]
Pbn3 you’re an absolute darling. You read through everything and thanks for answers. Will copy paste right away to the other section. Would love atomics input as well.

Jp15 if its easier than trying for one attempt at pos opk you could always switch to e4d to get your one attempt in fertile window. No need to worry about opks that way, just stick to (example) cd8, cd12, cd16 etc all cycle long or until bfp [emoji3] so three full days between bds. Otherwise just keep on testing as your surge should surely start coming in any day now. Stick to 1-2pm and again between 7-8pm if you feel like it, are you restricting fluids for a few hours beforehand and holding for at least 2?

Thanks for your help
Thank you! They seem so intimidating as I’ve never so much as tracked anything other than my period (which up until starting my sway was ALWAYS consistent and has since charged) .Quote:
