TTC Pink Chit Chat Thread - August

Hi girls, great we have a chit chat thread!!
I´m back from my holiday, my first attempt didn´t work, I had faint IC positives for a couple of days and then AF came 2 days late. Unfortunately in the 3 days I thought I was pregnant, I ate a lot of bad stuff: salmon, tuna, red meat, chips, eggs..
Now I´m ready to ovulate (right on the full moon again:sigh:), did some more to lower sperm count this time because of that food, used sylk and jumped and dumped sort of. Hope to have another attempt tonight. I am really fed up and I´m becoming slightly depressed. DH is putting more effort in making me eat meat and controlling if I gain weight, I think next cycle I will skip and eat and then figure out a milder sway.
Sorry to hear you´re not pregnant either mocha :shrug:
Great your attempt is almost here zana!
Good luck to all you girls :wave::luck:

Hi Indira, glad to have you back :D I'm sorry you're feeling down, big {hugs} and lots of babydust for this cycle.

Welcome back, Indira! That must have been so disappointing to think you were pregnant then have af arrive - sorry! I really, really hope this will be your month, Indira - you definitely deserve it!

Thanks girls :HH:
Was feeling better today, I agreed with DH that I will eat normal again when this cycle is over. And I actually felt relieved, it took away a lot of pressure.
I really need to do a sway that I can integrate in my lifestyle, that I can stick to for a long period because I now understand it´s not that easy to get pregnant in 1 or 2 months when swaying girl. So I will still skip breakfast and try not to snack (this is the hardest part for me), I can cook slightly low fat, eat a low protein lunch and maybe I will go with cardio every day. And I will allow myself to do some painting or restyling in my house, I get to depressed without my projects!
Now that I wrote that down, I feel better again! Well enough about me, sorry for ranting, how are you all doing girls?

I think you've made a wise choice, Indira. If I don't get pregnant this month, I think I will need to take a month off - both for my sanity and because my mother has a trip planned for next June and wouldn't be able to come help out with the kids when I have to go to the hospital to have the baby. I've already dropped some of the sway - I'm taking it a little easier on myself with the diet, I've dropped Sylk and used only a bit of Rephresh this weekend to counteract my pool swimming, but don't plan to use anymore before I O in a few days. If I end up having to continue the diet, I'm planning to stay vegetarian for the most part, but I won't obsessively track all my protein and sodium and will allow myself to eat more normal food.

I'm filling out an RSVP card right now for an October 1st wedding. I can choose between the prime rib au jus or the portobello mushroom stuffed with goat cheese. Should I take a risk and ask for the prime rib? I'll either be pregnant or have af then, and I haven't had red meat in 3.5 months (by then it will have been 5 months, unless I get pregnant sooner). I'm sure the portobello would be lovely, but that prime rib sounds sooooo good!

its recommended to stop the diet after 6mos and take a 2 week break I believe, so just do yours a month early and enjoy that prime rib and all the other goodies (but praying you will be pregnant by then :) )

Thanks, Melinda. I chose the prime rib - I know I'd be kicking myself if I'm pregnant by then but stuck eating a mushroom while everyone around me eats meat! Even if I'm still on the diet, I'm sure one steak in 5 months wouldn't ruin my sway completely.

♥ Your approach to pink sway:I am trying to work out the diet :tissue: taking cal/mag etc.. tons of crystal light. plan on using sylk while BD, using lavender anything I can find, rock salt lamp, fountain, candles, ion bracelet, basically anything negative ion generating I can find:wink: My DH is onboard with taking the supps too (tired of hearing me say how much I want a :DD: he'll do anything at this point I think LOL) Plan on using O + 12, I am also entertaining any wives tales I can find :fingers:

mocha prime rib :agree::agree::agree::agree::agree:you made the best choice.

:wave: hi pink dreams, did you see the low everything diet Atomic wrote? I basically eat (on my good days :)) iceberg lettuce and brown sugar glutenfree pasta for lunch and rice with leeks and zucchini and a yoghurt for dinner and some coffee in between- well actually I ate 8 rice cakes with marmelade as a late night snack yesterday but that´s just because I´m feeling so sorry for myself. And I had applepie everyday when I was on holiday, I´ve started to base my diet a little more to the idea that girl´s mums eat unhealthy and a lot of sweets :happy:

Now I have to prepare for relatives visiting, I won´t be able to skip breakfast because we usually have big breakfasts together. I think I will just have a slice of white bread with marmelade or rice cakes. I will try to not snack even if I will offer cookies and pie to them with tea and coffee :sigh:. They are coming over to see if I´m ok, my aunts that came over in july told them I´m so thin so they think I´m anorexic. But they are very sweet people, they were my parents best friends and the look after me and my sister ever since my parents died, so if it gets hard I think I will just tell them about the girl diet.
I will be in the 2ww, but I think we missed the egg anyway, we DTD on Friday and I think I O-ed last night, we´ll have another shot tonight maybe.

Hi pinkdreams and welcome :D

I agree mocha, one steak won't ruin all those other days of being good! I think it's the IG diet you have to take a break from after 6 months and that you can do the LE diet for as long as it takes ... if you want to :D

Good luck indira, I hope you caught this month!
