I know KYBO, it is like a full time job keeping up with everything! GL in the 2WW. Were you happy with your sway?
Yes, I'm at peace with it. I really stuck to the diet. Ate breakfast 2 days before 0, but didn't go over my levels for that day. Used ky instead of silk b/c I o'd early and my sylk hadn't come in yet. The 'timing' was a fluke because the sp moved my o date up so much. Dh even cut out red meat the past 4 weeks and guzzled CL for me :))). I j& d'd and did the semen emitting technique. Never did that when ttc before. I start testing at 7-8 dpi and usually get a BFp early, so I'll post once I know :))))). Now I'm praying. That I'm pregnant. That's is our sweet daughter. That I dont miscarry. I'm really excited!!!!!!!
Great job and lovely that your DH got involved. FX!
good luck mocha, look forward to an update!
Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well... I am soooo down at the moment I am turned off trying for another I am not sure why maybe due to being down about the whole ttc thing and getting bfn's.. I hate the diet makes me depressed being on it , Everything to do with ttc is stressing me out I just want to give up. I am so happy and in love with my little boy I just cant see myself having another one. My d/h is very upset about it as of right now i am 90 percent sure that i dont want another baby.. I know the longer i leave it the harder it will be but i am so desperate for a girl and i am just too scared to try because i feel i already know i will be having another boy ( which is not a bad thing) but i cant see ME being so lucky to get a girl it just wont happen, d/h said if i believe it wont happen ( us getting a girl) then it never will and that made me feel worse. As i said all this sway stuff i am finding so so stressful and its turned me off wanting to ttc right now. I had such a good sway i thought in jan I just cant do it again it was just too much work and stress i dont usually give up this easy with anything but this i find hard because in my mind i already know what my outcome will be...... I know i sound like a sook but just had to get it off my chest... Why am i so scared??? Another boy would be fantastic but why cant i see that right now???
I've felt that way too on and off - that I'm not lucky enough to get a girl. TTC is sooo difficult and a proper emotional rollercoaster, it's no wonder that we have enough now and again. I'm trying to focus on that all babies are miracles. If it's a girl I'll be thrilled, if it's a boy I'll be really happy for DS as I'm sure a brother would be amazing for him...Quote:

Yeah d/h really knows how to make me feel better!!but thats hes way of trying to make me get over it.. Yeah i just feel like it will never happen for me I am so serious i feel like there is no point me doing a sway because it wont work for me anyway.. does anyone else feel like that?? But I would be too worried not to sway iykwim? Such a hard one but i dont feel ready because i found it so hard
AAW pink I'm sorry your feeling so down right now. TTC can be so tough. I know how you feel though, I feel like that too. I also sometimes feel like "why sway when I can't even get pregnant" regardless of gender. But I let that get to me for too long now. I think that's why it's taking me so long to get pregnant. I keep giving up or chicken out when it comes time.. Look at me now, almost 5 years has passed and I wish I would have tried harder. Don't give up if you really want another baby. You do have to come to peace with the fact that is could very well be another precious little boy if you decide to try again. Believe me though, brothers are beautiful, crazy at times, but nothing else like it.
at least if you give it your best shot you'll know that, if it's a little boy, he really wanted you to be his mummy very much to overcome all of those obstacles... and you won't have regrets wishing you'd done more
the diet IS awful and so is TTC, but it's only short-term in the scheme of things
Yeah you are right, I am just real down right now about it and i hope i can have a better out look on it by next month! If d/h was fully behind me also i would feel so much better but without his support makes it even worse
I'm nearly a week late for AF and accepted all my BFN's... And have done the diet half the time at the moment. :( Mind you, my weight is staying steady so not worried about the odd extra thing I've been having. If AF would just turn up I could feel ready to go again. Right now I feel blue and still cramping and waiting!
My DH said we could just continue like normal as it's still 50/50 but I told him, "Tough... I already bought everything again, so no!"
He laughed and said, "All right, I'll take my roots and do my releases!"
Ha...
I likely won't be as perfect this time, either... but we're only human and I'm at peace with another boy. I just want a baby! I'm drinking red raspberry leaf tea this time, though.
Come on, CD1....
Not to mention I already weighed under my pre-pregnancy and overall adult weight, anyway, before the diet! It was a mixture initially when I moved to the UK and ditched having a car (in the US my weight was always 135 or so, and when I moved here it went to around 120) and then after I had my son/breastfeeding, it went to 108 then steadied at 112 or 115.
Now it's 107... though while we were DTD last month it was 103!!! Grrr... but it was easily done.
The main thing is stress is never good for anyone... so I am going to get strict once AF comes. I'm still on the diet mostly but have had breakfast some days, brownies, and an egg or two this week. But not back heavy on cheese or anything, which was always my BFF pre-diet!
My CP is low, soft, and open. What does that even mean?! How confusing! No sign of
AF up there, either. Sigh.
Kraisy~ hope you dtd!! That's def positive. thats whats so nice about the digital OPK's theres no way to mess that up. Its a smiley or NOT! Hope you feel good about your attempt.
Pinkin~ Sorry your feeling down. I now its such a downer when you get a BFN. Its hard not to get our hopes up with an attempt, but the percentage of getting preggo each month WITHOUT swaying isn't so great. Like 20-30%, but if you don't attempt its 0%. I always say when your down is not time to make a decision- wait till your feeling a little better to decide. sometimes that even helps is not making a decision temporarily.
Suregena~ Hope AF comes soon...come on already AF!!!
Yay for your attempt... PINK PINK vibes being sent your way!!Quote:

suregena - if there's really no bean in there, I'm sending you af vibes. I'm sorry your body is confusing you so much!
I have high hopes your little girl is just stubborn and you will get a BFP soon!!!Quote:

Mocha, can't wait for the update on your scan now! :fingers: its ONE healthy bean! Will you be asking about what side you O'ed from? heheh.
Peony, your next attempt isn't until the 20-ish of Feb right?
Hope N Dreams, your attempt is coming up soon too!
KD, whoo hoo on smiley faces! Hopefully you and your DH will make a gorgeous girl this month!
Pinkin, sorry you're feeling down about TTC'ing/swaying. You can't get your desired gender though without trying. I understand how you feel about being scared to have another boy although you love your boy to pieces. You need to decide what is more important: keeping things as they are, and not trying again, or taking a risk and trying to obtain your dream gender. I think swaying can be very tough emotionally.
hi suregena you could always go to the doctore and get bloodwork done to see if your pregnant and if your not i know a few remedies to bring your AF on,
If I think of it, I'll ask, but the techs at the place I'm going really aren't forthcoming with info, so I'm not holding out much hope. Besides, I'll be so nervous until I see that ONE heartbeat that all other thoughts may leave my brain once I (hopefully) see the good news.Quote:

good luck for your scan Mocha! How long do you have to wait until it?
THinking of you mocha....
thinking of you mocha hun x
Can't wait to hear good news Mocha!
Pinkin - so sorry you are feeling low. Swaying really is hard and the diet is the killer, yet unfortunately most important. Hang in there. You can try going easy on your sway but keeping up the most important. Like stick to the diet, low glucose and use rephresh every 3 days to keep ph low. That's a hard core sway right there. Then just dtd multiple multiple times around o. Timing and attempt #'s don't sway, so its best to just make sure that you're dtd as much as possible to ensure getting pg if there's a good egg there. If you dtd like 6 times in 2 days then your dh's sperm count will be low regardless of having had him fr all month.
I hear you though. The diet is killing me and it allows for zero social life that is for sure. Never realized how much life revolved around food until you couldn't eat it anymore. Anyhow, since I know that diet and glucose is most important, I gave up my wanting to try 1 attempt for doing multiple attempts while I was still hard core on the diet. I know if I see multiple bfn's I will have to go off the diet and that is the biggest sway factor so I just wanted to ensure a bfp while I was going strong.
I am not sure what your attempt was like last month -- did you do many and in what time relation to o??
did you originally only DTD once then hun ?
Pink....Im sorry :((((. It will happen!!!! All the swaying is really stressful in so many ways!!!!
Well, my temp went back down today :(((((. Dh leaves out of town for 3 days today---I'm totally bummed.
what cd are you on KYBO ?
Cd15; I usually have 32-34 day clcles and don't until day 22. BUT....since starting sp I've been having 26-28 day cycles. My opk was + Thursday, Friday, Saturday. My temps are always slow to rise and were with the boys too. My cervix was textbook SHOW this weekend too. I think I'm going to just stop temping this cycle to reduce stress.
:( I just am at a loss. 1 week late feels TOO late. It's just sooooo unusual to me, especially since I'm still having mild cramping!
We last DTD the night of the 21st, so either that is one long lasting egg or sperm or all of the above, or I O'd this past week instead. My body's signals are SO strange to me right now. Cramping since around nearly the 20th, daily, is just crazy to me!
I'm having craziness too surgena! I feel ya!
Thanks, ladies! My scans in just over an hour and a half from now. I don't have a smartphone (yet), so I can't update immediately, but the clinic is just 10 minutes away, so I'll update as soon as I can once I get home.
Good luck mocha!!!!!
I'm back from my scan. I'm copying my update from my DD Buddy group because I only have a minute to post:
Hey ladies - I'm back from my scan. Everything looks good. The tech was silent for the first 10 minutes of the appt, and I was scared to death to ask if there was a heartbeat, but at the end of the scan she let me see it. What a beautiful sight! I have no idea what the baby measured since here in Canada they don't tell you much at the scan - their policy is no medical information. That info will be sent to my midwife, and I'm hoping she'll call me in a couple of days to let me know. I asked about the placenta, but apparently placenta position is medical information too so she couldn't tell me. She did show me on the screen where my placenta was, and with a transvaginal ultrasound it was just right of centre on the top of the screen. I have no idea what, if anything, that means. Anyway, I am sooooooo relieved to have seen a heartbeat! Now I have to wait until my 12 week u/s and I can start to nubsess....
YAY!!!!! YAY!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! :running:
I'm so happy for you, MJ!!! :cheer: Much more fun to come!!! :highfive::babygirl:
Congrats!!!!!
Mocha, glad to hear the scan went well!
