Around the same. My last menstrual cycle with stopping bcp will be May 29-31 so whenever I ovulate after that I am hoping to catch that egg.Quote:

I am using chitosan for my fiber.
Me too Find Chitosan great as there is zero taste!
For all the girls having their attempt in June eat as much as you can now as you will be starving on the le diet! Or maybe it's just me. Af is due tomorrow so I seem to find myself starving these last few days and I'm trying to be strict as my first attempt is next week.
Boysway that's such a bummer about your car Hope it's fixable.
By the way which antihistamine are you girls using?

I have zyrtec that I will be using.
oh boysway I am so sorry about your car! What a bummer.
I am starting to get nervous ladies! Only a week until April, which is when I really buckle down. We are going to go broke buying all the wine I need, haha.
I plan on using zyrtec also. The only supplements I a plan on doing are - OLE (pill form, DH won't do liquid), zyrtec for both (DH takes it everyday anyway, no idea if that matters!), fiber, folic acid, and peppermint tea when I remember.
I'm hoping just the diet, one attempt, and FR works with little supplements!
Sorry if TMI, but what is everyone using for lubrication during the attempt? Sylk?
Ok zyrtec seems like the best bet so I'll buy that in the next few days. Because I'm 38 Atomic has suggested that I only use it day of attempt and not daily as I may not get pregnant and also suggested to maybe only try jellies once but I think I may leave them out altogether. But have seen a lot of girls use silk so may be a good option for you. Oh and my dh was taking a small dose ole for a few weeks but had to give it up due to bad headaches So looks like all the swaying pressure is on me alone!!! :confused:

blue- we are not doing many supplements either. Dh is doing OLE and LR and will take the zyrtec as well. I am only doing fiber and folic acid. Oh and the zyrtec for me as well.
I am focusing more of my sway on the one attempt, the exercise and low blood sugar levels and the use of alcohol and a different position of conceiving which will be in the shower after hot baths.
In my opinion the supplements aren't getting good enough results that make me want to make sure I include them. The diet and such is much more important in my opinion. It makes sense if you think about it because women who conceive girls naturally without swaying aren't taking anything. If you ask about their lifestyle it will be the diet you find that naturally swayed, or their exercise routine or the way they conceived.
I am using Zyrtec, it's pretty much a staple in our house around this time. I am going to take it the next few days to see how it works in drying me up (sorry tmi)
Bluebonnet, I am using Sylk since it's said to be girl friendly.
Rosie[/B]: good luck and you have this! Lol at the wine!
If anyone is using rephresh, when are you starting it? I was thinking maybe a full month before our first attempt.
I'm still not sure if I want chitosan (which I'd have to order from Walgreens online) or Metamucil that I can go buy today.
Oh and dh is doing OLE, and Zyrtec (he doesn't know about swaying)
I am doing Zyrtec, fiber, folic acid, maybe Benadryl
Another for Zyrtec, I have some benydrel (sp?) for the attempt day if I need it too. I had planned Zyrtec 5 days prior then benydrel the day of, but now I added clomid and I've never taken it before. I hear it can dry things up almost too much all by itself.
I'm doing the fiber, pregnitude, cinnamon, baby aspirin, and vitex and SP until CD 1 then switching to clomid on day 4. Crazy how fast the weeks went by. I started the LE diet/exercise in early jan dreading how far off my attempt was, but it just flew. I should O around April 8th and if AF comes on time and am successful this cycle, I'll have a new years eve due date :D
For the cinnamon are you taking the cinnamon supplement?Quote:

Marriedmom my dh doesn't know about swaying either so if it's a girl it'll be wow! What a surprise!!!
Unwirklich I'm due to ovulate on 7 April so we could be having our babies same day!!

daisy do you think doing the wine for two weeks is enough or should we start it sooner?? It makes me nervous to drink alcohol so often but if two weeks won't be enough I will have to reconsider.
I think its crazy some of your dh's don't know about the swaying, not that there is anything wrong with them not knowing of course. For me and my Dh we talk about it all the time and I probably drive him nuts! I am glad I have him to talk to and annoy. A lot of my other family knows too, I am pretty open about things and have a hard time keeping a secret, haha.
marriedmom, they are capsules. I got them off amazon pretty cheap, I think 300 pills (150 day supply) was like $12 with amazon prime shipping. Makes it an easy add in to help with the blood sugar.
Rosie My DH thinks it hiiiillllllarious to tease me with tasty meat stuffs, but other than that he doesn't really know anything about swaying. I've tried to explain it to him, but you can tell he doesn't listen to any of it. I get a lot of, "Ah, ok yeah makes sense, if you think it'll work" comments. Luckily it seems the male factor is less important in the sway world.
Daisy Nice :) :fx: for us. This wine thing is new too me. I know I saw booze in the stats file but there was so little data I guess I just sort of ignored it. I'm not a wine person, but I love a good vodka, that'd be an easy addition to any sway lol. Is there a thread on alcohol and swaying someplace?
Rosie not sure how about how long before sway to start alcohol. I have just seen in most peoples sway that they have a couple of drinks a week. I started one glass a night four nights a week a few weeks ago. I don't think you'd be doing much harm with one glass a night if you wanted to start now. It could only help really I think. I wouldn't do seven nights a week maybe 3 or 4. I'm no expert on this Just doing what I think is right for my sway! And it is really relaxing after looking after three boys all day!
Unwirklich I just picked up all the alcohol stats from all the posted sways. I think it can only help.our sways if anything :)

Sorry again! Meant to add that I think vodka is even better than wine in a sway So good for you!

I think we were planning on 4 nights a week or so and then on night of attempt to have a drink before and after attempt but with hard liquor instead of wine. I have heard many a story where people had girls when they attempted nights they were drinking. I never did with my other three so it def couldn't hurt my sway!
2/3 of my boys were actually conceived on new years so I can promise I was plowed. lol but then it can't hurt, I'd imagine it helps with stress if nothing else.
Bluebonnet, you don't need to drink to have fun and being pregnant doesn't mean you can't have fun.
married, Looks like dh is up for a new car. Water is even in the air filter. I have ordered a new glass face for my phone from Ebay. Hopefully it isn't too difficult to change.
unwirklich, water was up to the bonnet, it's a sedan. Dh had a closer look this morning. He pulled out the air filter which was filled with water. Looks like we are up for a new work car. He is borrowing FIL's car but only has it till the weekend, it's Tuesday now.
AFM, I know you're not supposed to test early in the morning with OPK's but, I did anyway. I tested at 8:15am. If it's not a +OPK then it's one shade off the control line. Looks like I won't be having a super long cycle again. If that's the case, as long as my cycle is similar next month, ovulation will be around the 25th. If we are successful with a bfp, I will be due 10 days before my nephews birthday. Funny thing, SIL is due for her second bub 10 days after my little one's 4th birthday :)
Daisy, lol I had him ready to take OLE went to the store just a bit ago and brought it home, now he's like he is not taking it... OMG what am I going to do with this man!
Rosie, if he knew he would probably pull the plug on swaying, he feels as though whatever we get it shouldn't matter, which it doesn't in the end, at all, but I would love to have a daughter.
As far as drinking, I am doing beer, I am not a wine girl (unless I mix it with apple cranberry juice, Pinterest recipe) and I surely can't do vodka lol.
boysway that's not fun! Well new cars are always fun but not under these circumstances. Glad you can get your screen off if eBay though!
boysway, man that sucks..no surer way to kill an engine. Do you have insurance? I'd bet they'd cover that as a "act of god."
Boysway, When my husband flooded his car it was covered under comprehensive. They totaled his car out because the cost to replace the carpet and seats that also got wet, and flushing the engine and etc would have cost $7,000. We only got about $6,000 for the car but owed $1,000.
So it's worth calling your insurance company just in case.
Unfortunately, my ever so intelligent husband DIDN'T have insurance. Not happy with that at all!!! Looks like we might be able to get him a small barina 1996 model, only 125,500 kilometers on it. $2300.

I'd bet you could sell it to a salvage yard for something. Maybe not much, but something.
The wreckers around here don't pay much for cars usually. I'll have a look around though. If anything, we should take the tyres off. They are pretty much brand new, heaps of tread on them. He better insure any new car we get though. Seriously, I can't believe he didn't.
Hmmm, I think I just thought of a 'silver lining' to this car dilemma. My car is a station wagon. It only seats 5 people. We will need to buy a dickie seat, pay to have it fitted, then pay for an engineers certificate. I will suggest to dh that we look for a new car for me and he can use my wagon :)
You see boysway it all obviously happened for a very good reason!
Af arrived this morning so this is officially first day of my attempt month!!!!!!! Going to dtd cd6, 10, 14, 18. Fingers crossed it will work. Feels so strange to be doing this without being in top health. :rolleyes:

boysway - sorry about your car! Hope you find a new one that's perfect!
daisymoo - GL this month, hope this month is your month!
My mom asked me when we were going to TTC #2 yesterday and I told her I was hoping for a 2.5 year - 3 year gap between kids and she freaked out and told me that was way too close and we should hold off for awhile.. *sigh* . I'm an adult , so I will do what I want, but it's a bummer I don't have her support.
Bluebonnet there's exactly 2.5 years between each of my three ds and it is perfect. I think they are really great buddies because they're all so close in age. I say go for it. I personally think it's easier to rear them all when they're all young together.
Sent from my GT-S5369 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks daisymoo - I am hoping they will be closer growing up and play better together if they are a little closer in age. I'm assuming I'm going to have 2 DS (can't even imagine myself actually having a DD!), and I just imagine 2 boys being better friends with a smaller age gap (although I know there's no guarantee it will work out that way).
boysway that would be great if he let you do that.
daisy I hope this is your month!
Bluebonnet different strokes for different folks, do what works for you our youngest will be 6 when/if we conceive
Okay ladies so i bought the supplements last night, when should dh start taking OLE? either 2 months or 6 weeks before attempt? I think he will take it now, I went off this morning because his snoring had me up from 3:50 until 6:30am. So I was not a happy camper, it's only because of his allergies and if this helps that's great.

yup OLE should be taken for at least 2 months out. Dh has been taking it for 3 months now, he has never missed a day. I took it once to try and help kick my respiratory infection...I have a new found love for my husband, holy crap...how can he swallow that stuff?!! It is beyond terrible.
Daisy that's how my dh will be lol
Rosie lol does it taste nasty? Is it the pill? Or the liquid.
Thanks ladies
Dh takes the liquid. It is BEYOND nasty and we have the flavored stuff to help cover up the bad taste. I don't want to know what the natural stuff tastes like.
My god Rosie your dh is a saint! He's so good isn't he? Aw!! My dh was taking the pill form I'm hoping the four or so weeks he was taking it will have some affect on our sway Doubt it though
Marriedmom maybe try the pill form and he might take it more easily for you!
