TTC Pink Chit Chat Thread - August

swish - I'm so happy you're back! We've missed you a lot - especially on the food diaries thread, which has been so quiet you can hear a pin drop.

I'm really sorry you didn't ovulate, and I think you've made a very wise decision on the diet. I think I'll be doing something similar if I don't get my BFP this month (I'm 3dpo now): I'll skip breakfast, try not to snack, and stay vegetarian...but I'm not going to count every bit of sodium and protein that go into me. If I have to go yet another month, I may add in fish and chicken. Four months of starvation has been too long, and though I've managed to avoid getting so light I stop ovulating (probably only because I started out heavier than you), I'm also causing a lot of worry with people I love...not to mention I miss enjoying food!

Yay swish, you're back, we missed you :D

Ah thanks ladies! Mocha, I can't believe you're in the 2 ww already!!! Fx for you, any symptoms??
I had a reading done on sweetbabybump, I'm not really in to that sort of thing but seemed like fun. She got me spot on, said my hormones were off or my cycles were out of wack and that I'll conceive in oct (not happy about that bit!) but she predicted girl!!! And really cute bit about her being with a grandpa figure whom she loves (not sure whether thats meant to be now or in future!!!)

It's not long until October swish :D

I know and now I'm eating more normally it doesn't seem so bad, I'll be seriously freaked out if that is when I actually conceive!!!

Hi swish, welcome back!!
That´s funny that being on holiday made swaying things change for you too (not so funny you didn´t ovulated though).
I loosened up my sway coming back from my holiday too, my first attempt ended with faint positives for a couple of days and then AF showed up. Although this happens all the time, and there is no reason to think what I think, I believe and feel my body was to weak to handle a pregnancy, so I´m taking it easier now, I still skip breakfast and don´t snack, eat a low fat low protein lunch bu ti eat a normal dinner now every evening, with fish or chicken. And I drink a lot of coffee to make it through the day.
I think you made a wise decision about the diet as mocha says and I´m so happy that you enjoyed your holiday and ate good food! FX for that october pink bean:)

Hi Swish! Good to see you home safe and sound from your holidays! It's nice to get an internet break:) Thank you for the sweet comments! I was shocked and a bit upset for the first few days and now I'm seriously over-the-moon(haha...this is my doula business name!) that I get my little April Bug:) I think that this little one REALLY wanted to make his/her way here and I didn't have much say!

Is the lady that did your reading, IC1111? When she was on IG I asked her as well and she said Nov. conception-August baby...BOY. :( So far she's wrong on the first one...I hope she's wrong on the second! But as for your reading....that is crazy! She nailed it hey?! I hope you get your little July(or earlier!!) baby:) Cancer(July) is such a great horoscope sign...everyone I know that's one is such an amazing person:) Anyway, I hope you get your cycles back soon. It sounds like you've made a good decision with your diet:)

Mocha- I've been keeping my fingers so crossed for you Mama! I really hope that this is it!! 3dpo now right? Or more? I've been trying to come on here and post but I swear every time I go to sit down, my kids start killing each other, someone is hungry, baby needs a nap, I'M hungry...the list is endless. So I apologize for not keeping up with everyone:( I do stalk the 2ww thread....and I'm so excited for this month! I just really feel that there are going to be a lot of May babies next year:HH: Don't ask me why...just this odd feeling:) Come on Spring babies!!!!! Woohoo!!!

Z- I told you I wouldn't say anything about "you know what".....no stress...no pressure...just lots of luck and girlie thoughts coming your way, Hun. xoxo

Indira, Mandicane, Happyheart, XXdreaming, Emmy- Good luck to you for your attempts!!! Not sure if you guys are in the 2ww yet or not...but I'll be stalking you once you are!!!! :rofl: Kinda creepy, I know!
xoxox

No real symptoms yet, swish. Just the usual cramps and slight nausea in the morning, but I'm starting to think I always feel nauseous in the mornings on this diet and I only notice it in the 2ww. I'm 3dpo, I think, though I had a wonky low temp this morning so FF refuses to give me my crosshair to pinpoint O.

Thanks Doula, you're a sweetheart :D

Here's something funny, I just told DH there'd been a change of plan and that we wouldn't be DTD with a condom for the first week but I'd be helping him to release in 'other ways' so now he's all excited :rolleyes: I then said something like 'at least that way we'll be able to see if you start producing less stuff' and he says, 'hmm, I think I might need to do it twice a day for that to happen'. Really, I say, wouldn't every day for 10 days do it? He thinks no! I said there's no way I'm doing that for him twice a day but I'll do it once and if he feels the need in between while feel free! I really think it's time to crack open the licorice root ...

Doula..you are Awesome! Not in the TWW yet but should be on Tuesday....I am going with a 7 day abstain 1-1.5 day cut-off then freq release untill maybe an O+12 or more, not sure on that one yet!
