I don't know how you girls do those nasty drinks...just tried doing a gelatin drink and couldn't get more than three sips down...gross!!
Our attempt is due this week...I am due to O on my birthday, the 28th! here is to hoping that I get a really great birthday present this year!
The other day I made Jigglers with my gelatin and it was so yummy! Take 2 cups juice (1/2 cup cold) and mix with 3 packets gelatin (then add 1 1/2 c hot juice). Once it sets you can cut it up and munch away! Maybe I'm nuts but I love my jello treats each day lol
Hey hey ladies! Been MIA with that sick DD but she's MUCH better today after 3 days on the antibiotics. Thank you all for the well wishes :-)
Jen I am so excited you got that attempt in! What did your midwife say that made you think this might take a while? Does she know you're swaying? I LOL about getting knocked up in the car on the way home! And I remember when you first came back to IG and you and DH were only going to try for a month ... I'm so glad you decided to keep at it, and that DH is so into it too.
TTC5 I think that pH is stellar. No reason not to try getting it higher as it sure wouldn't hurt, but I really don't think it HAS to be a 9 to get a boy. Look at all the failed sways for girls where people had low pH and still got boys. And an 8 isn't even low; that is on the higher side of normal for dh!
Skrimpy I can't believe you're now 35 weeks. FX you hold that baby girl and feel the GD just fade away.
My O was early this month by a day ... I still struggle with getting lots of EWCM! It is certainly more than I had months ago, but still, I don't have what anyone could call lots. I'm thinking about trying fertileCM this month. I've been using EPO and like I said it has helped, but it sure hasn't really gotten me where I think I need to be.
How much protein are you ladies getting each day? Does anyone have a target number? I know Atomic says high but I don't know that I've seen a rec'd amount anywhere.
The jiggler recipe looks great! I will try it this week for sure! Maybe that will help for you too Princess!
The one thing I'm freaked out about most is the getting preggo right after having the IUD removed. What do ya'll think should be the cut off date for DTD before the appointment?? I mean the appointment is on Friday am.....so I'm thinking Monday.
Good luck!! xxQuote:

Jen - FX for you to get a blue BFP!!
sdmommy - I agree with the others that it could be a supp. I would be far more inclined to blame a supp than diet unless you are eating a lot of soy. Have you tried adding in some more fat into your diet to build up the EWCM? CLO or fish oil, or maybe some extra butter here and there. I know that adding some extra fats into my diet helped increase my EWCM before we swayed for our 2yo.
mms - I think Monday is probably a good cutoff if you're having it out on Fri
begonia - so glad that your DD is doing better!!
Thanks Skrimpy!
princessap, good luck on your attempt.
begonia, glad your little girl is doing better xx
Begonia - Normally after a d&c there is some unevenness well my d&c in Oct was very aggressive. It was literally a stop the bleeding or take the uterus to save my life kind of situation. Because of this my unevenness is more severe, no egg will attach until my uterus is even again and there's really no knowing when that'll happen.
We were going to quit because we thought I'd get a bfp first try just like always and didn't want the kids too far apart. Well the gap is out of our control and we agree we really want another so we go till bfp!
I think my drop in ewcm this month has to do with running out of fish oil, its much cheaper then the others so you may want to give it a try.
MMS - I m/c the baby I conceived right after getting my iud out, etopic pregnancy that luckily ended itself. We were unsure if the recent removal had something to do with it but when I got the next one out after dd#2 we waited one cycle just to be safe.
Thanks for all the crossed fingers ladies, here's hoping!
I never made this but now Im going to try it, tnx!Quote:

Jen, I see your post above about waiting for your uterine lining to even out....how long did they tell you to wait to ttc after? Just trying to be proactive and positive so I don't lose all desire to ttc anymore at this point.
Hiya Lola:) I was hoping things had started for you on their own since we've not 'seen' you:) The 3rd of May just seems so long away still doesn't it.Would you be in a position for a private scan if that would help you? If you had secondary confirmation of things either way then you could hurry the Dr's up if you needed to maybe or get back to your pregnancy!
ELP, they wanted me back this Weds, the 27th, but my DH is out of town all week and REALLY wants to be there with me, so I am waiting for him. I haven't had any bleeding, but I have had some cramps that feel unusual for pregnancy, and my symptoms have started disappearing big time. I'd much rather have a natural m/c, but they told me blighted ovums usually require a d&c because your body thinks you are pg still.
Oh goodness Lola ... I can understand DH really wanting to be there with you. FX it happens naturally for you, though neither way will be easy :-( And I really, really hope you don't lose that desire to keep trying. You (and DH) will cherish this next baby so very much with all you've gone through. (((Hugs)))
LOL to jigglers! And Jen thanks for explaining all of that ... probably gives you some peace as to why it might be taking you longer to get pg this time around. FX this month is it though!!!! OH and I am taking fish oil! And EPO. You know what I realized I haven't been doing though is mucinex; I was waiting til we were actually TTC to try it but I think I will try it this next month and see what it does for me.
Speaking of fish oil I was asking on another thread about spotting pre-AF, b/c I never, ever had it before and now do have 2-3 days of light spotting pre-AF. Atomic said it could be fish oil since it is a blood thinner, but can also be a sign of low progesterone. Have any of you experienced spotting since swaying for boy, or even previously? It worries me!!! My cycles are still very regular, my LP is still 13/14 days, but the spotting is new.
So excited for our girls in the 2WW :-)
MFC I do take ACV... I haven't ever had a headache, but I do mix my 2TBS into a BIG glass of water/lemon juice, chug it, and then chase it immediately with something delicious. How have you been taking yours? I will have to try it as salad dressing! Great suggestion!
Thanks, Begonia. Looks like it is happening on its own, thankfully. I just had some brown spotting, so I think the natural m/c process is starting.
REALLY hoping a Blue Crew girl gets her bfp this cycle, that would put a big smile on my face!
Lola my love it usually it happens fast but I'm not sure exactly as this was my only d&c. I'm taking longer to heal because it was an emergency and like all emergency surgery things tend to be more aggressive then if they had time to be careful. Fingers crossed things are going to resolve on their own, big big hug.
Begonia - It gives me great peace of mind know there is a reason but nothing is actually wrong. I've had no spotting and I've been taking fish oil since Nov , well till a couple weeks ago when I ran out:oops:
I will do the same got a small bottle and start the salad dressing today! You can also try to water it up or put it in juice!Quote:

Lola I say go for it if you O straight away! I agree with Flava ... all docs have different answers on whether to wait or give it a go immediately. I'd get right back on that train; given how long you've been trying it isn't like you want to let a month go by.
Jen thanks for answering about the spotting! If it is still happening when I get ready to TTC this fall I might call my doc and get my progesterone levels checked just to be sure. But since my LP is still a good length I'm keeping my FX it isn't a low-pro issue and is no big deal.
Thanks Begonia and Jen for your answers! Begonia, I would say that if the fish oil is the new addition to your lineup and the spotting is the result, it is probably the culprit. But I wouldn't worry about it.
Hello Ladies Im back!!! MIA camping and im so glad i home just not looking forward to the ton of washing thats waiting for me:bigsmile:
Lola Ive got my fx for you hoping everything is ok
is anyone else in the 2ww besdies 3pnb??
ive tried to catch up by reading the millions of pages but its hard to remember what everyone is up to!
As for me im 11DPO i had a drop in temp at 7DPO and now im right back up, ive got a runny nose and am getting cramps just above my fanny bone and getting sore boobs so im hoping its a good sign, last month i had a 11 day LP so i dont know when my period is due... think ill wait the normal 28 days!!!
Thanks Lola for the input on the fish oil! I am thinking it might be that. If my LP shows signs of getting shorter then maybe I'll worry more. In the meantime I'm a big believer in fish oil so am going to keep at that one. I'm thinking of adding Royal Jelly this month. I've been sort of adding one supp a month to see how things all shake out, but fish oil is the one I've been on longest and really, when I think about it, I think my spotting issues line up with starting it. Interesting.
Chunksta FX for you!!! A BFP would be welcome news for sure! The blue crew would love a celebration right now :-) Keep us posted!
That's right!!! because I take 4TBS at once that may be why ..I do that JUST trying to get it over with. I also use it with salad :agree:Quote:

I mix 2-4TBS into a 4oz of water or juice :worry: I will drink only 2TBS at once. I do that so I can take it only once a day :rofl: I HATE that nasty drink.Quote:

MFC! Lady that was some STRONG ACV you were drinking, LOL! So are you the kinda gal that takes shots at the bar?!?! ;-)
ITA though; it isn't tasty. I do find it more palatable than BSD though. That business makes me gag! It took a couple times before I could actually keep it down.
:rofl: will definitely drink least at one time, LOL :oops:Quote:
