That's a thought I'm trying to push right out of my mind!! I wonder if it's also just something that happens more as you get older - I was in my 20s when I started having babies and now I'm in my mid thirties and my boys have knackered me out! I'm also at a much less healthy starting point! I remember reading somewhere (it might have been while I was snooping around on IG!) that a lady had bad sickness but had had none with her boys so she was convinced it was a girl but it was another boy.
There will always be the exceptions and I can understand you not wanting to get your hopes up!! Having said that it's a very strong trend with my friends and my sister, who I know intimately(!!) was much sicker and it all started very early on - she too refused to believe it meant a girl and I would be the same.....still, I'm allowed to get excited for you!
Thank you swish :D What about you, are you ok?
I'm fine, I've actually chilled so much about the whole thing, I had a while when I thought I'm never going to get pregnant again but now I feel like it will happen whenever it happens (not too long I hope!) it helps that I've really relaxed with the diet and put on a bit of weight (i'm managing to keep my weight at 7.8lbs now), I just hope I've not relaxed the diet too much. As you know the only other things I'm doing are frequent release, aspirin and aspartame so I do feel anxious it's not enough but I need to first get pregnant to have a girl!!! I still can't believe you got preggers with all that stuff going on, it's amazing!! That baby was meant to be for you whatever it is!!:)
swish - I could learn a lot from your zen attitude. You're awesome! I was feeling much more relaxed last week, and I think getting confused about when O was happening + getting sick just made me start getting stressed, which is silly when I can't do anything about it now anyway. I really shouldn't complain when I haven't had to deal with the frustration of long cycles and no ovulation like you have! I'm really praying you ovulate on time this time and get that BFP - I think it would be wonderful for us all to be pregnant together with similar due dates. Instead of complaining about our diets, we can complain about m/s, gas, backaches and constipation :bigsmile:.
If it weren't for the diet, I think I'd be fine waiting several months for my BFP, but I remember when I started this thing I told all my friends I was only going to do it for a month or two because there was no way I was going to starve myself all summer...and look at me now. It's been so long since I ate yummy things without guilt that I barely remember what it feels like - it seems like such a luxury to be able to open the fridge or cupboard and eat anything that takes my fancy. Hopefully we'll all have that again soon.
I think that although I lost alot of weight, it probably made me even healthier (and more fertile!) - because before I was in the overweight range and now I'm in the ideal range! You weigh so little, that's got to sway in itself! FWIW, my mum weighed about that when she conceived us and when my sister and I were little :D I'm so glad you've been able to relax, that's another bonus for your sway :D
Thank you, ladies! Mocha, I was really, really stressed the cycle with the confusing opk so I know how you feel. It would be great if we could all be preggers together, fx!!
Hi ladies! I havenīt been on much, had my inlaws in the house for a week and went on a 2 day study trip by myself (first time after DS2, no I think first time after having kids!). This wasnīt very good for my T, but it was very interesting.
Because of the trip and DH being ītiredī (:hair:) we missed our fertile window this month, I was very disappointed at first but now my temps arenīt rising so I didnīt even ovulate. Doesnīt have to be the diet or supps, could be the travel aswell. Who knows, maybe my body will try again, but I donīt think so.
Swish, what Cd are you and when do you usually O? We need an -ovulation please- icon on the pink swayers thread!
Zanacal I thought of you today, I have some kind of stomach bug and have been puking (sorry!) a couple of times, so I remembered what it is like to want to get pregnant so much, and then when you are you just feel sick...FX it is a pink bean thatīs making you feel bad.
Mocha good luck in the 2ww!
Welcome back, indira! I'm on cd 12, usually ov earliest cd18. Sorry you didn't ov:(
Indira- I'm sorry about your anovulatory cycle:( I've had many of those in the past and it's so confusing.
Z- I really hope your change in symptoms means GIRL!!! My friends that have one of each all say that the pregnancy was different. I'm having pretty much the same symptoms as with my last pregnancy and the 2 before it....I'm holding out some hope for a girl, but I will not be shocked in the slightest if I pop out boy #4 :) I have a great boy name, I know that they will get along really well(my hubby is one of 4 brothers and they all get along really well and we have great family holidays together), and I make cute boys...if I do say so myself!!! LOL Oh and thanks about the ticker! I figured I needed one:)
Mocha- I'm not freaking out now:) I went and found my measuring tape and measured my fundus and I'm right on for 9w:) Yippee!!!!! Not that twins would be horrible or anything...and I sincerely hope you didn't take offense to me not wanting twins:( I had a close friend who had twins(her sister had natural triplets and there had been no history of multiples at all) and I saw how hard it was for her- nursing, traveling, shopping, expense, exhaustion...I just don't know how I would do it. One little nugget at a time please- if I have a say;)
Swish- I'll keep everything crossed for you hun!!!!!
