Hi ladies,
Dropping in to say hello and to see how everyone is doing :) I am honestly trying not to synptom spot but I have been feeling somewhat strange as of yesterday. Today mostly but I was very nauseated yesterday with some mild cramping but today the cramping is a bit stronger and my boobies are tingly and with some minor stabbing pains. I hope this is a good sign. Is it possible to start feeling symptoms as early as 5 dpo?
I have been absent from this group for a while, I was taking a break from swaying last month, and didn't want to be all "Martha-y" about it. Thankfully, stepping away from the boards made the time go a little faster than it otherwise would have. Of course, in the month I was gone, my sister had a baby, my grandmother passed away, DH turned 40, and DS1 got sick, so perhaps I was just too busy to notice that I didn't have time to focus on swaying....
I am so sorry boysway about the BFN... it sucks when those start piling up... and you worked so hard this month too... fingers crossed for next month!
Congrats, essence! It was a long road, but you FINALLY got your sticky bean!!
Yogi, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I have no idea about early symptoms, and I am always cautious about reading too much into them because I end up disappointed in the end.... but hopefully that is not the case for you. Sending all my blue dust your way!
DH and I are going to do the every 4 day thing this month because I have a UTI and the meds might mess up the OPK test results and I don't want to miss out on getting in an attempt this month (this is the 3rd month TTC for us) and I have been on the LE diet for almost 6 months now, so it is getting OLD.... tonight is the first attempt (at CD11)... fingers crossed....
Thank-you Christi,
I should know better 😂 Good Luck tonight 😉
Welcome back Christi! We are also doing the every 4 days thing and I'm CD13 today, we attempted yesterday on CD12.
Thanks Christi :) Good luck to you. It sounds like you've had a hectic month. Huge hugs for you.
I'm hoping to bd every 3-4 days. I get fade in pattern with my OPK's so I'm hoping to bd night of almost +OPK, morning after almost +OPK. Then night of +OPK and morning after +OPK.
Welcome back, Christi! I hope this is your month!
I'm sorry for your loss :(
Hope you are better now.
Thanks everyone, it is nice to be back and I'm hoping for a BFP this month! I'm dropping both the Sylk and the RepHresh because AS thinks those don't sway all that well in the end and thinks they really interfere with getting preggo. So hopefully this will be our month. I know that the chinese gender calendar and the moon stuff probably don't make a real difference, but if we conceive this month, it will perfect timing for both. O will be close to the new moon and this is the last month that the Chinese calendar says I will get a girl for many months. And of course, I'm sick right now..... so to the extent that being sick (again in 3 weeks) lowers my maternal condition, horray for coughs and colds! We shall see.....
Good luck Christi! Fingers crossed for you!
Goodluck and welcome back Christie.
Last two days I've felt very hot and flu like. I've also had cramping. Last night was by far the worst. Still too early to test but gosh I hope this is it

Good luck Christi and good luck CherryBlossom :)
Took a month off after 3 months of darned AF ruining my mojo and one very probable CP. Got both DH and my diet resituated so here we go again! Good luck to all!
Welcome back Nahri!!!
Welcome back Nahri--sorry to hear that AF reared her ugly head again. Whenever that happens, I try to be inspired to really focus on the LE diet because I know what a critical part of the swaying strategy that is and tell myself that having another cycle is another opportunity to be super good and really help my sway goals. It doesn't always work (I'm a bit of a LE cheater), but it gets me back on track for a while. Good luck for this month!!
Fingers crossed CherryBlossom! and I hope you feel better soon!
Welcome back and good luck Nahri :)
Just a quick vent from me.
Since dh takes tablets to assist with bd it's not always so easy to be romantic. Anyway, so I asked dh yesterday if he would be keen for tomorrow morning. He was keen. Fast forward to this morning, he chooses to go a fly his quadcopter (like a remote control helicopter) with mates :( No attempt at bd whatsoever. Then he wonders why I'm not happy!
Bummer Boysway:(
Dhs tend to do crap like that. They will act like bding was never brought up or do things they normally don't do when its time. I know from experience where my dh has done something to try and get out of bding. I hope he gets on board soon. I am sorry you are having to go through this. I swear if women could get pregnant without men at all we would have this all planned out. Good luck to you Boysway!
Sorry your DH is being annoying boysway! Hoping he gets on board this month with BD'ing before your fertile window. Frustrating!
I'm pretty sure my period is on it's way.
I'm in one hell of a mood today. I feel my Agro self before my period sometimes. Today I've been in a funk all day. No reason for it what so ever! Which then made me mad with myself.
I took the kids to the show. Rather than looking at the positives I looked at all the negatives. In the Arvo I told the boys to play in their bedroom because I didn't want them to see or even feel the negativity and anger that was building up in me. Hubby finally called and I felt a bit better. But after talking to him for a second time we got into a heated argument where I just yelled =( it followed by tears and a sorry from me.
I can already tell this period is going to be an emotional one.
I hope you're all going well and all ha a lovely weekend !!! Sorry for the vent/downer

:( Huge hugs CherryBlossom. You sound just like me when af came this cycle. I was the same :( :hugs:
CherryBlossom, really sorry to hear that. I'm next to you 😘 Hope you feel better these days.
OMG, boysway, I would be so frustrated with DH. And if that was your window, I would practically be ready to kill! That is beyond words annoying! Fingers crossed you didn't miss the window this month.
CherryBlossom, sorry to hear that you are feeling miserable.... hopefully it is early signs of BFP and not AF.... keep us posted.
As for me, I made my attempt at midnight on Saturday night. It was a little closer together than 4 days apart, but I wanted to make sure we got an attempt in before O. This is month #3 for us, so I backed off some things this time, but I think this is still a pretty good sway:
1. 1 attempt right before O (i'm guessing probably within 12-20 hours of O)
2. LE since April 1, 2014.
3. Fiber with most meals since April 2014
4. No prenatal since April 2014, except for folic acid
5. Zyrtec a few hours before attempt
6. Left side sleeper, no jump and dump, and went to bed right after attempt, so everything had plenty of time to marinate (haha).
7. Vitex and Saw Palmetto until CD14
8. Aspirin
9. Negative Ions (I have an air purifier in the bedroom, I got my nails done on the day of attempt, and I put on lavender lotion before attempt), however I did play on my computer a few hours before attempt, so maybe that undid all the negative ions..... hmmm..
10. Almost a new moon (3 days)
11. Chinese gender calendar says this month will be a girl for me (I don't really believe this sways, but hey, I like that it goes with everything this month).
I really, really, really hope this month works for us. I feel like the stars aligned to make it happen. My best girlfriend is preggo and I would love to be preggo at the same time as her. Plus, with my grandmother passing on the day AF started this cycle, it sort of feels like a whole "circle of life" if I get preggo on this cycle, like she will sort of be here in the new baby or something.... I don't know.... or it could just be that I am ready to get pregnant already and I'm reading way too much into things.... hahahaha....
Good luck to all the ladies waiting for their BFP!!
Cherry - I'm so sorry and I hope you are wrong! AF coming while swaying is the absolute worst!
Christi - seems like the stars are aligned this month! GL! We had our 2nd attempt (on O day I think?) on Saturday, so we will be going through the 2WW together. Hope we both end up with a BFP! I have been on the diet since April as well (with a few weeks off while pg), and I'm dying to get a BFP this month!
Christi, everything sounds perfect! GOOODDD LUCK!
🎀🎀🎀
Bluebonnet22, hope stars are aligned for you🎀🎀🎀
Girls, I admire you!
Hope we all hear PINK this year!
What is the negative ions thing? I didnt catch it😁
And what about the computer?
Negative Ions are supposed to sway pink, while positive ions sway blue. The new moon supposedly puts more negative ions into the air, as does anything that purifies the air (plants, air purifiers, etc..). For some reason, nail polish also has negative ions as well (though it seems contradictory to me).
Computers, on the other hand, are super positive ion emitters, so in my case, I may have counteracted the benefit from the negative ions by plopping my laptop on my lap for a few hours....
I dont think it sways! Just relax!👌
Had my attempt last night and boy was it interesting. Took forever....lol. girls are supposed to be more difficult right?! So I barely have a sway....all I did was the one attempt and my dh took ole but I also had the miscarriages bavk to back and barely any ewcm at all which is so different for me and I have been super sick too with a respiratory thing of sorts. My chances for a girl though are probably pretty low so I won't hold out much hope.
Thanks lovely ladies it really means a lot.
Today I'm feeling very sluggish. Heavy sore belly and my usual gall bladder pain I get before my period.
Best of luck Christi! Your swag sounds really good. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Rosie. Funny you say that. This month. My god that attempt took forever ? So frustrating lol. This is the first ever cycle I've ever had where there's been no EWCM! Usually I have to wear a panty liner due to the amount !?!? Fingers crossed for us =D
My belly is making its grumbling popping sound it makes right before the bitch turns up ugh =(

Hey ladies. Lovely to read some BFP news from some of you. We're DTD every four days and still no AF since I stopped BF over two months ago, so who knows what my body is doing! I've had tummy aches the last few days but don't know what that means. Patience is a virtue!
Providing everything matches up, looks like I'm in the 2ww, second attempt for September. +OPK yesterday. Attempt yesterday morning and last night. It was a push to get dh to bd last night but, it eventually happened. Dh wasn't keen this morning though :( I hope yesterday was enough.
Those were great attempts to fertilize your eggy Boysway! Good luck and only 9 more days to go.
Hopefully we timed it right. The cycle I fell pregnant with Miss 4 we bd the morning of the +OPK and the following morning.
This cycle we either bd or dh released on CD 7, 10, 14 then our attempts yesterday morning and afternoon. I wasn't expecting O to happen till Tuesday. I hope we didn't blow our chances with the release on CD 14.
