I'm skipping May-sway and probably June too, but yes, I'm planning to continue with DHEA. My periods are shorter too, IDK is this DHEA doing? It's like full-force for 24 hours and then much lighter (which is usually not the case) and all together it was like 3 days for real and 4th day so-so. Sorry if TMI!
It's good to take a break from swaying because you come back on a more positive note. I think it's the DHEA that's doing that to us, how long have you been taking it? I take 25mg a day, how much are you taking?
fab tnx! I will try really hard if we do it for sure. Only don't know how to do it yet.
Hope you O soon and get a bfp because this long ttc suck.
zivic Im sure your friend was lying ! Maybe I would say the same just because of ppl 's stupid comments.
This is so interesting! So maybe we don't need so much sperm to crack the egg together ? Atomic says 1 sperm can't crack the egg it will need a whole lot to help. But if it's only like 20 or less then I think they are stronger the I thought.( maybe I can try msu again...hmmm:think:)Quote:

It's 4th cycle, but I plan to skip next cycle ( DHEA) . I'm taking 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening, so 50 mg total.Quote:

Princessap - screw timing (full pun intended) If it were huge there would be no shettles opposites and we would all tell the same story. I'm focusing on diet, I don't need studies to show we all have the same habits with very few exceptions. FX for you next month, one of us needs a bfp dammit!
MFC - thanks, my midwives think(:fingers:) things will even out in the next month or so but there's not way to know for sure. My last period was super late but fairly normal so I have hope that regularity is on the horizon. I could never have imagined one little m/c (ha ha) could mess me up so badly. Oh and fish oil and musinex create amazing cm :)
TTC5 - Ugh on the bigger pant size, I feel your pain, my fat pants are snug and my awesome pants are on hiatus.
ZB- I get you on the poking, my sil whines about how much more fun it is to dress girls and how she can never find anything good for her son. Boo hoo, I wish I had your problem :mad:
Babydes56 - I swear the more you learn about conception it's amazing anyone gets pregnant ever let alone on accident.
I'm thinking I need to go back to checking in a couple times a day, you ladies have been to chatty to fully catch up on lol
Feeling good here, need to watch my eating more as I've gone back to my old ways a bit. I really don't want my hiatus to destroy my chances so it'll be regimented meals and snacks for me. I've spent way to much time and put on too much weight to let my body to suddenly think it's famine time again. Sunny day today, the park is calling.
I take 50 mg bcos I'm 38 and I want to make sure I'm Oing each and every cycle. IVF candidates are taking 75 mg a day.Quote:

Yes, it takes 3 cycles to make it work, but I guess, like everything else, it's individual?
This is, in my opinion, optimum boy timing.Quote:

Which isn't terrible, but my blood sugar does suffer in the early part of the day. I have laid off the potatoes also, and I think I've gone down a few inches in the midsection for sure in the last couple of weeks. My fat pants which were snug at my heaviest are now loose. But, I think I am going to start the diet again in the next couple of weeks. And the supps, I've been just taking a prenatal. And Begonia, I have a multiantioxidant, CoQ10, and then the usual boy supps. I will post a more comprehensive list once I get that huge sack of pills out of the closet and start putting them in the many pill dispensers we use daily when swaying. UGHHHHHHH
I am not taking the DHEA though....I don't know why it's making your periods lighter, that is interesting. Do you gals think your T is rising with it?
Iluv, sorry about AF.....don't freak, we all just get back in the saddle and go for it again. It's up to you if you want to take a couple of months off and gear up again or just go for it next cycle, with as much swaying in the 2 weeks AF-O as you can do. Sounds to me like you are impatient (LIKE ME!) about ttc.....well, we all are getting that way.....so just go for it if you want that bfp badly enough. The only time I took a month off was when I had the first m/c. I think the best thing to do is just cut out your supps during the 2ww and keep up the diet, but everyone worries that they don't get the "optimum" sway if they haven't been taking the supps and doing diet hardcore for 6 weeks.
So, yes, let me comment on the fatness one more time.....I am going to the beach tomorrow, and am still deciding whether to wear a MUUMUU all day and not even put on a bathing suit like an old lady, or just to make us pick a spot that is so far down the beach that we are the only people. I will tell you guys, the boy diet for 8 months has wrecked my figure, and the fact that the summer is here and I now need to wear skimpier clothing is making me even more irritated.
ZB- what a wear thing to say, that you wanted a third girl.....I would just not say anything to anyone at all, whether I wanted a boy or girl! That is the s$%t that kills me.....maybe I could just go on living my life without freaking about timing, supps, being a fatass, etc, and STILL MAKE A BOY!!!! I am just not that brave!
And we do need to have another bfp here soon, this is getting depressing. I am not going to ttc much longer than a few months after we start back, I'm getting too sick of it also. If we don't get a bfp by October, I am just stopping all of this and going to "living my life" plan again and if we accidentally get pg, and if it's a girl, well then I'll be just elated that I got pregnant at all.
now i am wishing i would be 40 next year so that i would have solid reason for not TTC :(Quote:

Oh ok I get it now so need to take it 3 cycles. I will be 37 this year so I guess i better take the 50 if I take it.Quote:

Yep, they recommend for 90 days as that is how long it takes an egg to mature in the follicle, thus, for the DHEA to affect the egg's quality.Quote:

I did have an early m/c and then stopped for a few months and then swayed a little for a month when we conceived our son who we lost at 14 weeks, so I stopped swaying the whole time I was pregnant and didn't think I would sway again so I TTC without swaying for a few months. I am swaying now but really only doing diet and some supps {folic acid is really the only one}...my OB advised against other supps and I trust her so we are sticking to natural. I am hoping it all works out!Quote:

I agree...all these BFNs are depressing....I agree with you about not TTC much longer, I am giving it until August and then if nothing, whatever will be will be....I really just want another baby to hold and love!Quote:

hahahah just curious because we DTD 3 days before I had my IUD removed and then the same day after I had it removed(even though he pulled out...sorry for TMI). I've just been putting things together in my head and noticed I've been really queasy after eating lately and been super tired(although that might be chalked up to working alot). Meh....i'm probably just getting myself all worked up over nothing.
Ok.....the end.
Oh mmsgirlie FX for you, that would be crazy if it worked out!
You know I'm super curious to see how the swaying will change my fertility, if at all ... it seems like there are several of us who in the past got pregnant 1st time, and with boy sways it is taking a bit longer. Some of that I'm sure is just we're all older than we were with our 1st (2nd, 3rd, etc) kids, but it sure does make you wonder if there is something else to it as well.
fwiw begonia I had a hard core boy sway and got preg 1st try last Aug.
mmsgirlie - fx!
Most of my clothes don't fit anymore :( ...Quote:

♥ Cheekymoo
♥ Swaying Status: 2 weeks into diet/supplements 6 weeks to 1st try (early july)
♥ TTC DC #3 (2 girls)
♥ Your approach to blue sway: Eating lots meat, potatoes, tomatoes, , fruit and veg and cereal x2 day. Salting all possible. Snacking througout the day. Cut out chocolate, fizzy drinks and sweets limiting calcium but not strictly (no dairy etc but still eating some in vege etc. Drinking green tea, and v8 veg juice both once a day and different fruit juices, lemon water. Doing weights once week.Supplements i am on 2000mg FA, 50mg zinc, potassium suplements, 1000mg fish oil, 500mg vit E, will do ASG, BSF month of try, as well as guanaifesen 5 days prior to ov.
If you take a break the it has to be a log one right and you don't want that. I mean if you go off the diet for like 2 months then you have to be on again at least 6 weeks ( but I think 3 months is what we have to do right?) to do it right. So that's like 5 months before ttc again?Quote:

welcome and good luck! If you do weight once a week is not enough. And I don't know who is cutting out calcium "strictly" really? ( speak up plz lol) all I know to do best is no dairy...but the rest? We all need to eat fruit and veggie and drink juices right? Really I have no clue how much calcium is in one carrot or grapes or so on.Quote:

I checked the ph of my green teat and it was 3.6:suprise: I drink this all day but I make it with struvia and lemon juice. So even if the ph low it's is from the lemon and it's ok to drink because it's suppose to raise ph after we drinked it or I better get some ph drops and add it in my drinks?:confused:
So not alone, I think we are all busting out of our jeans.Quote:

thanks!
I have no idea...I was thinking we need the 4 day before we dtd.But if you do it twice then for the second try you have only 2 day abst. right?Quote:
