If this was an actual attempt and I went by the 36 hr rule my attempt would be Monday morning at 10:40 am and I would want CM to be creamy/dry. What about CP what do you want? Last night after my :) it was so high I could barely reach.
What confuses me about 0+ is that you need to DTD before your temp spikes on FF. Is that correct?? If you look at my ovulation chart from last cycle (sept) I got a :) CD 14 and my attempt for 0+ would be CD 16 in the am (also when temp dropped lowest) I thought ovulation happened at the rise in temp. and then I would be too early. OR FF puts O day on CD 16, is it safe to assume O took place the evening of CD15 and the temp can't pick it up till am.. which would actually have made that a perfect 0+ 12 timing. Am I understanding this correctly? I think I'm getting more confused even as I write this. I'm just afraid I DTD too close to O. Can someone tell me how this works in relation to the temp.
Sorry if this is super confusing
ZANACAL- Hope everything os OK.. get lots of rest today.
oh hun FX FX FX for you i hope all is ok and the scan shows that you are in my thoughts and prayersQuote:

Thanks for the welcome ladies! I've been reading up on the 7 sway factors, i am quite use to charting temps, cm and cp from ttc my youngest son. The confusion for me comes in terms of which diet to go with, testing ph and negative ions/ moon info!
Theres a few things i need to get buying before i even think about swaying! Is there an particular ph testers you guys use?
Oh also lime douches, what do you buy for this and where?
Unfortunatly in the past i've had problems with DP sperm and ended up with infections, i'm convinced this is due to our ph differences, so i know this will be a big thing for me to have to perfect!
Sorry i'm sure i'm asking things for the millionth time, if the answers are writted already feel free to point me in the right direction! x :)
I do weigh about 3lbs less than my pre-preg weight. I wonder when it will pile on? I still don't wont to eat much as I just don't fancey anything. I can see my arms getting thinner too.Quote:

Mybay Dave can go on top of the ironing pile? lol!
Yes he kicks, not much but if I lay on my back he really boots me one! Probably because I am upset he is never going to want to wear a pink dress or play dolls with me :¬)
Oh fx all is ok for you both! I had really bad cramps before 12 weeks, I honestly felt like being in labour. Its just horrible. Feet and up try to take things very easy xxxxQuote:

Z, I too had terrible cramps and still do, they worry me when they're really bad. Take it easy and rest! Keep us updated after ur scan. xxhugsxx
Charlie, we have a Honda civic sport (dh begged me for ages for ths car) got it 1yr ago and it's new, so big loan taken out!! and prob loose lots £ now!! My friend has same as u and she loves it!
Inglewood - Do you have two cars? DH has a astra and I have a Zafria so we can have one 5 seater for the school runs and then the family car. Shame you have to sell your new one :¬(
I only got rid of 6 things from my wardrobe but there are things in there I haven't worn for ten years!!! My interview suit (too small now anyway) a dressy dress (No where to wear it and I have other dresses I would rather wear if I was to go out somewhere posh) things that don't fit but I hope to slim into and shirts for work even though I don't wear shirts for work as they seem to come undone all the time. I wish I had more will power! We did a great job clearing up but there is still so much to do!
So AF arrived this morning, was running in the Great south run so great timing NOT! At least I didn't have time to be disappointed and now have lots of endorphins!
Hope you all have had nice weekends :HH:
Zanacal- praying for your bean, hoping for good news for you.
Kell- welcome :heart:
Welcome Kell!
Maybe, no my old car went to car heaven last yr and we don't have the need for 2 cars, so didn't replace it! Dh really into what Charlie has the Chrysler Grand Voyager, will look into it after the new year. Don't want to count my chickens just yet..... Haven't bought anything for the babies, have always waited till around 16wks.... but this time waiting till I know the sex.
Found out some interesting info over the wkend, Lizzy from PL told me she heard Monochorionic Twins (shared placenta) have a high chance of being girls.......so so so hope that is true! Also I read that women who have a high dairy content diet have a higher chance of having twins (usually fraternal). Eh...GIRL DIET!!! Dh and I both Od on dairy!! lol Something to do with higher insulin levels in the dairy products??? Made us giggle..... Although ID twins are random. Still looking at baby boys clothes wherever I go, just can't work up the courage to even look at the girls stuff, so badly want to but when I get there I automatically go to the boys stuff and chicken out even looking at girls stuff. Have a glance (quick one).
Indigo, sorry Af arrived :( x
I like the grand voyager - my childminder has one. I might get a new car - but in a few years as mine was only serviced last week for £400!!! Its ten years old soon. Only lap belt in the middle back apart from that it's still going strong.
Indigo - do you want my cheepie opk's and tests?
I want to do the great south run one day. Longest run I can do is 10k!
indigo - huge hugs hun x hope this month is the one x go you running you are awesome!!
We LOVE out chrysler - it is V big and V comfy even the bench seat in the back is spacious enough for adults! It is a 54 plate so not really new but FX will be a well behaved car it is huge and even has a BIG boot - the voyager doesnt but the grand does! I cant park it for toffee so spend forever looking for 2 spaces together or a kiddie one but other than that i love love love it x we only have one car so it might as well be HUGE!
I think the Zafira is as long as they get, so I could drive it I think. Plus they have sliding doors don't they? OMG I wanted a sports car this time last year!! What I still really want is a Yaris or Aygo. I think that could work well if DH gets a bigger car. He can fork out to fill the monster truck up then ;¬)
Must upload my picci of little Dave. I see the consultant on Weds to see if I will be high risk and consultant care. I really think it will be ok this time as DS2 went over due.
Talking of overdue....petal hows you?
thanks hunQuote:

Zanacal - fx all ok. I know lots of people who had little bleeds in first trimester and had no further problems. Hope the scan gives you some reassurance.
Cars - eeek - we're going to need to get a new car. Ours only takes 2 car seats in the back. DH would love a Toyota Camry (as its hybrid) but they are sooooooo expensive. Not sure what we'll end up doing. I think we need to start doing some research on it though. I don't like really massive cars as they are just so BIG to drive :)
Anyhews - just me and DS2 at home today. DS1 went to childcare and DS1 is still a bit sick. So I might get some sewing done....
Sorry to hear af turned up Indigo :(
Hope you get scanned quick zanacal, and your little bean is ok. Big hugs to you
Morning girls
x
thinking of you zanacal hope you havnt had anymore bleeding and you get a scan ASAP x
the voyager has sliding doors and a button to do it automatically which rocks when walking across a carpark holding onto all 3 boys - can press the button and have the door open ready it also does the boot too :D
Thank you for all your well wishes. The midwife couldn't get me in for an u/sound until tomorrow which is so frustrating but I've had no more bleeding and my tummy feels less tender today so hopefully that's a good sign. I'm having to take 2 days sick from work with a 'sickness bug' which I hate but there's not a lot else I can do since I haven't told them I'm pregnant yet.
We have a Fiat Multipla - it was cheap and it looks a little odd but we bought it simply because we didn't have the money for a new more expensive MPV and it has 6 separate seats (3 in the front and 3 in the back) so we won't need a new car this time. What I'd give for sliding doors for the school run!
hope the scan goes well zanacal i have my FX for you. Better to hear your stomach is no longer tender and the bleeding has subsided at least thats a good thing
Z, sorry u have to wait another day, but glad ur tummy feels a bit better and no more bleeding. Take it easy!!!
The Grand Voyagers are hard to come by up here, gonna end up down south to get one no doubt! They aren't too expensive, our car is only 1 yr old, but need to get one maybe a few yrs old, will cost around £10-12k. I love all the extras with the voyager, like sliding doors, but god help me trying to park something like that!! lol We have a Honda civic now and my old banger was a fiesta, easy to park!
They are finally resurfacing the road today...what a racket!!! super loud! Betcha they are still at it on thurs and fri when I need to sleep after my nightshifts! need to go sleep at my mums house!!
Hope ur all well! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I am going with a few mums and the kids trick or treating later (not a fan of it all) but have to for the kids!! Spend an hour making up my halloween bags for kids coming, although if I am out Dh will not be chuffed he has to answer the door!!! lol
I was given a mammas and papa's double buggy (almost new) and a phil and teds sports buggy in VGC (sit one in front of the other and the lower seat turns into a pram-like carrier, meant for a toddler and baby, or changes for 2 toddlers) It was really kind of the mum but I have NO room in my house and loft hatch not big enough. I don't need the 2 of them and told the mum I also have a pram on it's way, but she told me to sell one and buy the babies something they need!! so gonna decide which buggy to keep and send it to my mums as I'm superstitious!!!! Know she meant well and it was so kind, but I don't need the hassle of selling a buggy right now!
See PL has now gone :( x
Good luck with your scan Z
Sorry af arrived indigo! Fingers crossed for this coming month!
We are due to update out car early next year, I've got a focus ATM but if we all want to go out together (once our little girl is here) we would need two cars, I've been looking at zafira's I like that the seats are easily moved in the back!
Happy Halloween btw! I have the pleasure of carving 3pumpkins this afternoon as well as trying to do some college work! And look after a 2 years old! Will be off trick or treating later which will make the kids happy!
I was wondering how long you guys prepared before your sway attempt? I was talking to dp yesterday and he's up for pretty much what ever we need to do, but realistically I think it'll be a couple of months before I'll have managed to buy all the bits we need! Who knew there would be so much to it all lol!
Have a great day! :)
Inglewood - OMG what a lovely lady - i know its a hassle but p&t arent cheap and they resell at -depending which one you have £250+ I have a P&T and love it although it wouldnt be good for twins until they are 6months plus but then it is FANTASTIC - its only as wide as a normal buggy and so easy to push. If your mum could store it for you i would recommend keeping it!
Zanacal - glad to hear the bleeding has stopped fx all goes well at your scan thinking of you x
Thanks ladies.
I can't believe you've been given a P&T either Inglewood - wow, what a gift, they sell really well second hand! We got one before I had DS2 (there is 21 months between them) and I really fancied a new pram for the new baby but in the end decided we really would do better keeping on with the P&T as DS3 will still use the back seat sometimes, so I bought some new seat pads and replaced some of the worn parts, but it will have lasted us over 5 years by the time we're done with it!
I'm really bummed about that. Has anyone "seen" babydust on the sites?Quote:

Hi ladies! we're visiting my mum at the moment so i thought i would use her wireless for a minute. I feel like a cave person without internet!! we're having a lovely time here in Sweden though and the boys are really loving it :) we' will be back in England on sunday so you will definitely see more of me then :)
hope you're all doing well!! thinking of you all!
Kell welcome!!
Zanacal i've had bleeding in 2 of my pregnancies.. it's scary, but doesn't have to mean anything is wrong iykwim. Fx your scan goes well, i'll be keeping you in my thoughts as i know how worrying it is to bleed in pregnancy! ((hugs))
Thanks Sunset (I actually typed Serena then changed it - must have sub consciously glanced at your siggy!).
Babydust is a member over here but I haven't seen her in a few weeks.
Hi Girls,
Just checking in.
Zanacal - glad to hear the bleeding has stopped and good luck for the scan tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine. Will be thinking of you x
Inglewood - I LOVE my P&T's and they are expensive and also hold their value if still in good condition (or you can replace parts like Charlie has done). You can use it as soon as the twins are sitting up and one can go in the front and one the back. I still use mine now and DS1 often bobs in and out of the back seat depending on his mood.
Indigo - sorry AF showed up but at least you're on track again for this month
Sunset - glad you're having a lovely time in Sweden
Kell - welcome, you're definately in the right place for lots of help and support
Charlie - how are you feeling?
Hi to everyone else I've missed.
AFM, morning sickness definately started to kick in and I'm starting to feel pretty rough. Urghhhh I'd forgotten all these horrible feelings and don't know how I'm going to get through the next 10 weeks. DS2 was sick 3 times last night and that just made me feel worse. I've started getting really anxious about being sick as I have a real phobia about it. I read that acupuncture is good. Has anyone tried it?
All this talk of MPV's is making me jealous. We know we have to change our cars next year but we'll have to go down to one car because of the cost and how on earth am I going to drive/park something that big???!!!
Happy Halloween all. No trick or treating for my boys, both tucked up in bed now xx
Hi everyone just popping haven't had the best day and can't really face spending time on the computer.
Kell jus wanted to say you could spend about a month collecting your sway bits and just reading up if your doing the classic IG type girl sway and start the diet the following month then that gives you 6 weeks to sort out all your ions, douches or rePHresh etc. and just add bits ass you go really:) Just start when you feel ready. I wasn't going to start till March 2012 but i'd been reading up on swaying for about 3 months and I just wanted to go for it!
Hi girls,
Inglewood, I also have a P&Ts and LOVE it so I would defo try and keep that one if you can. I think we could start up the P&Ts appreciation society between us!
Zanacal, sorry you are having a tough few days but I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow.
AFM, just waiting for my :) and my attempt! I have the busiest week this week as well so hope I manage to DTD a couple of times at least!
We have a Peugeot 807 MPV which is great. It has sliding doors that I can open from the remote control, loads of space (especially for camping) but I am not great at parking it. I used to have a toyota yaris which was A LOT easier!!!
x
Would your MPVs all take 4 proper carseats and 2 adults? DH is looking to get an MPV for his next company car and I *think* he's looking at an Ford S-Max or a C-Max.
yep I LOVE P&T :D i even got matching buggy snuggles made before i had ds3 as i didnt get a new buggy but wanted to spruce it up :D they are fab - i have the black sport and got olive green with apple print snuggles :D
our MPV would take 4 seats it has a bench seat in the back so an adult maybe able to squeeze in making it 3 adults in total
Z, yes it would. I have 5 seats in the back and obviously 2 in the front. I would be a bit choosy where I put the smaller babies (car seats with 5 point harness) as they are mainly recommended to go in the first row of seats next to the windows but I think the normal high back boosters can go anywhere. All of mine have proper seat belts, no lap belts at all. My only slight gripe with it is that it is pretty thirsty and costs about £100 to fill up the tank.
I think I might have to get a new P&Ts snuggle when my next baby arrives - need to get PG first though!!! xx
