Pbn-we had a blast at the water park thanks, the boys are at the age where they are just loving the water...a few trips around the lazy river was just what we needed! Thanks for your input on my temps...it's almost summer & has gotten pretty hot here....maybe it was the AC?
Max-your plan sounds perfect you are SO going to get a BFP!!
I just noticed for the first time that my folic acid has calcium in it too...so I've been taking 100mg daily & didn't even realize it! Doesn't that sway blue?? Eeeek! I'm going to look it up now, but what if I messed everything up that I've worked so hard doing!!
My Ovulation Chart
What folic acid brand are you taking Lola? I've always taken this one. I don't think this will have been detrimental to your sway at all, in fact I'm pretty sure calcium is one of those 'not proven either way' things. I know vitamin d is said to sway strongly blue (you often get vit d & cal combined) but calcium on its own (or in your folic acid) I wouldn't think is a big deal. Just swap to a straight FA or folate pill today or tomorrow if it bothers you though :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ce148126be.jpg

Pbn-that makes me feel better! The brand is spring valley & it doesn't mention anything about calcium on the front! Luckily vit d isn't included. I'm def going to switch it out, but too late to make a difference this cycle :/ I'm going to look for your brand :)

Pbn3 - Does this link work? https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2bbcff
So excited for Tuesday morning for you!!!!
Kat - Thanks
Maxim - Thanks for the bday wishes. I'll never stay team green either. So glad everything is okay down there and great news about DH being on board. Hope this is your cycle.
Ash - How you feeling? How long until your scan?
Mummy2boys -Thank you! Sorry to hear AF is on her way.
Lola- Thank you for the bday wishes. Super jealous that you're on hols! Enjoy x Yay for TWW
Sky - Thank you! Gotta tell you, 35 doesn't feel great...it rounds up to 40! hehe
Sorry to hear you're sick. Try and keep your temp down if you can. Paracetemol will be safe.
AFM - wohooo! I kept up to date LOL
This week is one of my least favourite weeks....report writing week. They are due next Monday, so one week to go. I'm in complete denial....I'll get it done though, always do. I also noticed a tiby bit of brown spotting again today. My temps are not post O though, so must be just a bit left behind.
Here is the folic acid I take...this okay? My LE diet is pretty bad right now! So many parties and events....steered clear of red meat though and trying to get back into it.

Iwant4-Hope the spotting turns to AF so that you can be on your way to #3!! I can see your link, so I'll be following ;) Remind me, you're a teacher right? I know the report writing all too well!! As a speech path, it's IEPs & progress reports for me ugh. The end of the year is always so crazy! Do you have summers off or year round schools?

Morning Lola and good night lol
We need to start thinking of a June 2ww name.... this is my entry lol, cant wait to hear some others 😀
Jolly Good June 2ww (I keep hearing it in a British accent whenever I read it 😂😂)

Pbn-your June name is pretty perfect!! I can hear the accent [emoji4] "Jaw-Dropping June" comes to mind [emoji12], but don't know if any others will top yours! [emoji106][emoji106]

Gahhh I got a new phone and wake up to check everyone's charts and they're gone [emoji19]! Lola it's getting so close to testing time.... eeekkk

Kat a dip 5dpo [emoji4] I like it. Pretty sure I had implanting 5dpo which is super early but I had spotting and cramping so I'm guessing that's what it was from. Feeling any different?

Sky hope your feeling better today!
Shinty your the only chart I can't find. I hope your well
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shinay found it! Temp rise the last couple days could be hopeful sure hoping it goes up again today! I know you've gave up on this cycle but hopefully O is happening and you can get af soon and be onto the next. Have you been checking with opk?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ash - you are feeding the monster [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I was cramping a tad last night and was wondering the same thing - isn't 5 days too early. I did my opk this AM for kicks and it's super light. Will post after I have a few days. We are at my parents house this weekend for the holiday so I'm having to be discreet with my temping, peeing in a cup etc. I already got asked if there was a reason why I wasn't drinking last night, which is sad and funny that everyone knows I love my wine.
Max - we are most definitely twins in that I'm not emotional at all so if I cry my husband listens! So glad y'all had a heart to heart and are on the same page.
Like both June names, but jaw dropping made me laugh [emoji3]
Sky - you feeling any better?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9
I m doing better ladies. Thankyou. Temp has dropped but still a little higher than day before. Yesterday's could be due to being sick and not to forget I slept under a blanket.
Will come bk and post after catching up.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Well kat they say 6-8 is the most likely I think but in my ff chart I had spotting 5dpo and cramping and I got an early Bfp at 9 dpo

Hi ladies! Hope everyone doing great! We are out on vacation for the holiday weekend and will most likely not be posting too much until we are back on Tuesday...just in time to have some of you ladies almost testing!! :)
Have a great time maxim!!
Glad to hear you're feeling better sky xxoo
Lola 'Jaw-dropping June' is a fabulous name 😀😀 love it!!!! And the first week of June WILL be jaw dropping with yours, sky's and kat's bfps 👌followed by maxim's, LMSM's, shinays, mummy2boys and Iwant4kids 😆 I'll create the thread and post a link :) hopefully we'll also get some new 2ww members in to stalk as well because once all you ladies all join the ddg it's going to be pretty empty in the thread!

This day has been so busy...Caught up with a friend earlier, then took the boys to their 1st baseball game!!
Pbn-I just came back & noticed the new thread. Is it time to do the June switcheroo?! I'm hoping it'll be empty too after all of us test ;) Counting down to Tues for your appt.!!
I'm 6dpo today & I'm noticing my usual hormonal cyst on my chin & worried it's a sign of AF [emoji15]I have been sooo relaxed this cycle though...not noticing any preggo signs, maybe more emotional lately.
Max-have a wonderful vaca!!! It may be just the break you need to help you O sooner!!! Fx!!!
Kat-hope it's implantation cramps!!!
Sky-so happy to hear you're feeling better [emoji173]
Ash-surprisingly I haven't had that crazy urge to POAS yet...but Tues is almost here. I'm sort of expecting to see a BFN with cycle after cycle of BFNs, but maybe it'll surprise me and be the one. Your appt is this week too...so much to be excited about woohoo [emoji322]

Pbn - Should I be worried about my temp drop?
Everyone is here. Gtg.

Have a great time sky and no you needn't worry about the drop. We were expecting it to come back down :) bet it rises nicely in the morning!

Hello ladies!
(wasn’t sure if I should post here or in the June thread – what’s the protocol?? Lol)
Lola – loooove “Jaw-dropping June” - :D it’s bound to be a BFP jammed packed month :D
FX that those signs are just your hormones bubbling up from a little bean implanting!!
Maxim – enjoy your few days away! :D what holiday is it in the USA? (I should know but can’t think of what it could be :( )
Sky – hope you’re feeling better hon?! It shucks to feel like that so hope it was only a virus!
enjoy your day at the water park
Kat – haha for the wine – ah well, if you’re pregnant it will be well worth the suspicious questions :P
I started having symptoms around 5-6dpo (and had that conviction I was pregnant, that I couldn’t shake) – so hope for you that is why you have that cramping! ^^do you usually cramp that early when expecting AF?
Shinay – has AF shown any signs of showing up at all?
PBN – oooh getting so close to your appointment now! 1 more sleep :D
Can’t remember where you are located? Vic, Nsw?? (always wonder where people do their scans when in Bne, but don’t think you’re up in Qld?! hehe)
Ash – how are you feeling? When is your next “milestone” appointment hon? How does it work for the NIPT in the USA? Do you have to have a referral from your doc or not?
Dreaming – any relief for you all hon? When is your 12 week scan?
Have to update my chart – though of course nothing interesting as such yet but I just need to get back to it now that the pain has subsided and I feel more like a human again – I had to laugh on Friday, hubby and I argued about something menial, and he said” just stop wanting to control everything babe, just stop” – touché, my love, touché … I wanted to tell him “sorry I need to perfect and control and plan everything - but am not stopping that now - it’s a boy’s mum trait, which is the only thing I am not changing, so ain’t letting go of THAT” :P I am to the point I have (please don’t judge haha ^^) – a friggin’ spreadsheet with all the cycles gone and to come when I could conceive and EDDs, and color coded as to whether that would be a good month to conceive (hint hint June is ideal :D ) – along with a list of all the things to do, eat, supplement etc – I have gone as far as doing a table for the whole 40 weeks and when I would have which appointments depending on EDD (coz’ can’t wait to start those, with ultrasounds, bloods, middie appointments etc – it makes it real and just am getting impatient) .. gah!..ok, yes, you can tell me I am a massive control freak and am just crazy. I know. lol
Having said that …Mummies of blue bundles please pitch in if you don’t mind :D – what would you say is the one thing you’d recommend a blue swayer to eat/drink/sup? (as in, the one thing (or more!) you feel was common to when you had your boys ) I feel like I am taking/doing a fair bit already but am worried that it still isn’t enough just want to reassure myself – I had a panic attack last night reading “how we got our boys” – thinking sh*t I don’t think I take vit D, I need Vit D, when can I can to the chemist?! Until I checked and realised with my prenatal I have 1000 ui (I think) of Vit D (phew) but then thought – is that enough?! (I sooo want to give this my best after last cycle’s failed outcome….gosh I wish I could relax sometimes lol).
Have a lovely evening/night/day!
Sky - I think today's temp is more normal and yesterday's was just high bc of you being sick. You are definitely still in, glad you are feeling better!
LSMS - I love that you are doing that! I'm not having like AF cramps, more like a pressing on one side. This is my first cycle in a while to be in tune so hard to say if this is my norm. I do think being on the HE diet has made my hormones stronger so hopefully that's a good thing! I love your question, if no one answers here you should ask in a new post!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9
Pbn - you are so close! Is appt in morning or afternoon? Please update us as soon as you know. I know it's tomorrow for you, but wanted to go ahead and mention [emoji3]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9
Well LMSM you certainly sound like a boy mum with all that planning 😂😂 I used to joke that I had a list for the lists I needed to make 😂😂
From what I remember eating when conceiving with my boys meat is definately what stands ou the most and bread... plus pretty much anything savoury. I've never had much of a sweet tooth so rarely ate treats. The other big thing I remember is being really healthly in the lead up to conceiving both times. With ds1 I had finished a 'lose 10kg in 10 weeks' program with Jenny Craig probably mid/late January and fell pregnant in April. My work was quite physical then too so I did a lot of walking during the day. With ds2 I had decided to lose weight again and joined a gym probably 8 weeks or so before conceiving and was doing 1/2 jog on treadmill or bike, some weight training and an aerobics or yoga type class 4 x week.
So moderate exercise and lots of meats, nuts etc is what stands out to me and being at a really healthy state :)

Kat I'll update asap :) scan is in 20.5 hours (9.30am my time)
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Thanks ladies, I feel less like a freak with my uber planning :P and thanks for your feedback PBN – I think I am almost there, the only thing I struggle with getting in is the exercise (weights) as am sooo tired after work, kids etc – I don’t get to sit down until after 8pm once back from work, kids sorted and in bed, housework done… and just struggle to stay awake even just to chat to hubby lol
But I guess if I can do sort of every other day exercise at least that will be better than none – so will try to kick myself in the bum! Lol
Kat – HE certainly will have done lots of good things for you – and seeing you were fertile already as it is before the sway am sure this is your BFP :D FX!
PBN – ohh 9.30am tomorrow means I will have time to see your update tomorrow during the day before my crazy travel marathon starts on Wed morning ^^ so excited for you!!!
Pbn - I meant appointment not test. Counting hours. How am I going to sleep tonight? I bet you would be thinking the same.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
LMSM - I can totally relate to being in control. I just have to do things as close to perfection if not perfect. I feel the same about the sway. Honestly,the only thing is that I can't make the dh do and think like me so after 3 cycles of ttc, I had to modify my sway to fit both of our wants.it feels better because I know this is something we both can do even if takes us sometime to conceive. I m more relaxed this cycle but I would be lying if I say that I don't picture a bfp every now and then. [emoji4]Hope our sway works and give us our blue bundles. Fx fx.
Kat - When are u going to start testing?
Lolla- Hope u get your bfp this cycle.🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I knew what you meant and didn't even pick up on it until you pointed it out 😂 see we can read each others mind 👽😂Quote:

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
LMSM no we don't have to have a referral from dr. We can go straight to our ob and request it. I think it just depends on what kind of insurance you have if it's covered or not. I do have good ins so I'm hoping I can have it done! My first appointment is June 9 when I'll get a scan but will be able to find out if I can get nipt on the 2nd. I'm not sure what I have done to get 4 boys lol I've always had moderate exercise (maybe just try 3 days a week for 30mins), ate meat and oatmeal, never did worry about supplements but I do see how it can help, and I've always been a control freak about a clean house! It gives me anxiety thinking about what I need to do right now!

Pbn-OMG OMG, just realized that your Tues is our Mon....ooo hurry up this afternoon! It's 7:30 AM my time...so maybe 7:30 PM is when I should be on the lookout?? Sooo can't wait for you to come back and report all is well [emoji173]
Sky-I had a temp drop too...mine have been low this cycle. The hormonal cyst on my chin & temp drop have me worried [emoji15]Yours looks like it's just getting back to normal after being sick. Have a blast at the water park!!!
LMSM-I was wondering when we do the June switcheroo too? It's Memorial Day here in the US today which is a day we remember those in the armed forces who died while serving our country. It's always the last Monday in May & the unofficial start of the summer!
On another note LMSM-how I got my boys: I wasn't swaying & strongly believe that I unknowingly swayed!! I really wanted twins and I took soy isoflavones CD 3-7. I also took the supp fertileCM 1-2 times a day, but Atomic does not recommend this & said that it often messes cycles up. I didn't take the recommended dose of 3x, so maybe that's why it was ok? We used preseed, but a small amount. We got married in April & conceived that Nov...I had been working out with a personal trainer doing weights & cardio for our wedding & honeymoon and kept it up for a while. Diet wise-I've never been on the HE diet. I've always been a vegetarian & eat low fat, low cal. I did always eat a small breakfast...a breakfast bar or oatmeal. Snacked a lot during the day instead of big meals. Love potatoes & ate them all the time. I wasn't charting, but looked at an app that told me when I was expected to O, used OPKs only for ds1, then BD several times around pos OPK. I had just stopped BC both times. I really hope you get your boy! Sending you my blue dust [emoji170]

Gosh-sorry my last post was so long!! LMSM-meant to mention the control thing...haha...I think trying to control things gives me less anxiety, so I can totally relate lol. I got DH to start smoking and take cranberry to help our pink sway. Typically I'd try to get him to quit lol, as I believe it's an icky habit! I say control away as your way of feeling in control of the situation!!!
