hey ltester I am 35 too! my boys are 6 and 4 so not far off in age to yours. It took my husband this long to agree I am lucky he did but I figured no harm in ttc for pink and if we get a little more blue at least I can say I gave it my all!!
I have lost 7.5 pounds in 6 weeks I don't have alot more to lose as I know I stop ovulating at 110 pounds and I am down to 120...getting the hang of no breakfast (never thought I would say that!!) but upping my calories a little so I dont lose all my weight too fast.
Quick question for you all. Do you all have a cut off point for swaying? Like 6 mths, 3 mths etc etc I feel I ought to give myself one as otherwise being a boy mama I could be here one year down the track and I am no spring chicken...
good luck with all your BFP's!!

I've lost 26 lbs since August but I plateaued around 137.
When I started swaying, there was no question in my mind that it wouldn't work out according to plan! Ah, over-confidence, if never gets me anywhere! I lost about 15 pounds, was exercising every day for a hour and was eating according to the LE duet pretty strictly. I did that for about two months before we tried to conceive, and two months later, nothing but bfns. I kept trying to exercise, but began to realize the food obsession was making me miserable and really messing with my idea of food. When we discovered that my husband had low sperm count, he did three months of vitamins, and I backed off swaying because I couldn't maintain, not knowing if it would even happen. Then three more months of clomid for him because then we found out that his T levels were low. I've never faltered on my folic acid, but I didn't have the mental stamina to keep swaying so hard when I don't even know if it is feasible. I don't want to go any high tech route, so if all of his vitamin and hormone taking hasn't helped, I think I am prepared to throw in the towel after this round. Our ages worry me a little--more that I am just a bit tired than anything. The cut off my husband gave me 18 months ago was two years... He is right.Quote:

I am 33 in a few weeks so time isn't on my side either so don't want to be ttc for years! We were v lucky with our son and conceived 6 weeks after coming off bcp. I think in my head we will try rephresh this month and if a bfn we won't use it again. Im dropping exercise already as ill just keep re injuring my back as its a weak spot. I think we'll try the one attempt for 3 months max then prob end up bday daily after that. My son is 2 now and he needs a sibling boy or girl not too far away in age. Id hope id keep elements of the diet but I do miss my fatty foods at times.
My weight loss has stopped at the moment too but I am 128lbs but still have lots I could loose as I am only 5ft 2!!
Hope we get our bfp soon and that we are blessed with our girlies xxxxx
I started off swaying HARD as well but it only takes on bfn to take the wind out of my sails. I stopped exercise and I'm doing a LE vegetarian diet with tons of cheats. Really, I think I'll be happy to get pregnant with our one attempt at positive OPK.
Good luck, Arimethia!!
I’ve lost about 25 lbs since last January. I started out just on a low cal diet to lose the weight from ds #2 and #3, but it segued into the LE diet around March or April. So, it hasn’t been a fast weight loss for me, but I’ve lost probably 5 of that in the last two weeks, so I’m feeling hopeful it’s enough. I’m exercising like a fiend over here, and eating rice like it’s going out of style. Dh said I’m like a Survivor contestant lately.
I got the +OPK today! :D SUCH perfect timing since we’ve go our big romantic V-day dinner out planned. God bless her, our babysitter told me this morning to stay out as long as we want since she plans to sleep over in town tonight anyway. Yay! The only thing that could derail us is that we have 2 kids home sick from school today... pray they don’t need to vomit or anything interruption-like later tonight. Oh, and that dh doesn’t chicken out at the last minute. :ttc:
This is our first month TTC, so I haven’t put a time limit on it for myself. Yet. I’m 37, so this feels like my last chance at a dd, but I’m willing to give it a go for a few months if needed. A year from now... well, I might change my mind. Of course, I’m hoping tonight’s the night, but I’m already prepared to change up tactic for next month if it doesn’t happen.
I have just got my +opk too!! Well I think so they bloody confuse me.
We are going for it tonight anyway. Waiting for hubby to get home....:) x
