you generally ovulate about 12 to 36 hours after a positive OPK so CD 11 is very likely! Good luck!Quote:

I also do a green smoothie almost everyday and it's so sweet I feel like it's a huge treat! I use coconut water as the liquid, Big handfuls of spinach and kale, a small spoon full of homemade almond butter and then a small handful of frozen berries. So yummy!Quote:

I need help everyone.
I got strong positive OPK yesterday at 8 pm on CD 9. But for some reason could not bed yesterday. Today I got faint test line on OPK but dtd on am. I checked opk again at 8 pm but still it's negative. I am having gas pain in my lower right side. I don't know what's going on. Anyone can guide me?
So your surge has ended so you are probably ovulating today. try to get another attempt in tonight if you can.Quote:

I'm using the web version so up the top in the right hand corner is "Settings" in there is a tab to "Edit signature". I like when people have a signature, reminds you where people are coming from when they make particular comments or give their perspective.Quote:

ELP...are you back because ttc is on the cards? :D
Sumbal, concur with all what the ladies said...hope you got another attempt in ;)
How are our newly pregnant blue swayers?
I am eagerly waiting for my period to arrive so we can get into attempt time :D probably by the end of the week, early next week at the latest .. so Exciitiingggg!
Need to get my bum into gear with some weights, just too exhausted after work, kids etc..sigh
So I went back and read the majority of these posts to get to know y'all! Seems like there are 2 recent preggos?! Anyways, I just started swaying this week and hopefully will start trying late May, but might be after that. I have 2 girls, 6 and 3 and would love a 3rd baby. I think it would be fun to have a boy, hence swaying, but would be happy with a girl as well. My husband is still 50/50 about having another baby so that's why I'm not sure when (or if) we'd try, but knowing him he'll spring on me next month he's ready and I want to be ready sway wise too versus waiting to sway until he's ready. And this HE diet is better for me versus my girl friendly/low calorie normal. It's VERY hard for me to not freak out about the fat/calories though, ha! Anyways, I'm hoping we can chat since swaying/baby stuff is on my mind a lot and I don't want to drive my husband crazy [emoji854]

Woohoo, AF just arrived this morning (2nd cycle in a row I get over 12DPO and have AF start in the morning rather than at night) – hoping it’s a sign that my fertility has improved - if so, thanks HE :D
This means, we are officially in our 1st attempt cycle – so nervous and excited all at once!! ^^
@Kat – you’re more than welcome to share with us – one thing is for sure, we can certainly understand hehe
Re calories, it doesn’t have to be obscene amounts of food – you’re much better off anyways eating plenty but balanced with lots of nutrient dense foods - yes, you should eat full fat (dairy etc), but HE doesn’t mean binging out…
If you increase your intakes gradually and ensure you never go hungry and fill up on the good stuff, it will be easy, promise! Plus, the idea with the HE diet is to make a change from your normal diet – so if you barely ate, increasing amounts/quality of foods will already have an effect ;)
well it looks like I am out this month... Huge temp drop today at 13 dpo. I think I am going to try to skip next month because We have a lot a February birthdays in my family. Heres on to june!
Lol!!:bigsmile: I do not know!! I just can't keep away:) I should be done, I really should but its so hard to switch it off. We are getting a puppy this month so hopefully she will help me keep my cravings under control for a few months, so many jobs to do around this house before I could allow myself to drift back into that happy pregnancy place:bigsmile: xxQuote:

Just wanted to add also that Atomic is reviewing the way wheatgrass is used, I think an occasional use is being seen as best policy atm, will keep you posted of any news!Quote:

It is a great nutrient boost to top up your vitamins and minerals so worth researching, I think that Atomic is looking into if in fact too much of it can lean pink so maybe before adding it in as its quite expensive see what the current recommendations are :)
I already have a very wide range of vitamins through diet and I take prenatal vitamins since they have larger amounts than regular multivitamins, so is this something that's not necessary for me, or is it pretty much a must for boy swaying?
What larger amounts exactly ttcblur? I am taking Womens one a day orange one.
Oh Bommy, shoot :( did AF arrive?Quote:

Wow. Congratulations. Where can we see your sway?
I just found New Preggie. Thankyou for sharing. Did u use opks?
Thanks for sharing NewPreggie! Definitely nice to hear! Would love to hear from ones that it didn't work too so I don't let my hopes get too high [emoji12]

Congrats NewPreggie – you must be elated! I can’t even imagine the joy after a sway to get the outcome you wanted – a healthy baby boy :D
In fact, I am gearing myself towards just having a third girl when we do fall pregnant, to avoid “disappointment” in not having a son (because, especially when I see my girls, how could I ever be disappointed in having them?!) – so can’t even imagine the realisation of actually be having a son ^^
Your sway was pretty good so it gives me hope and encourages me to continue my sway...though like you Kat, I am cautious and would like to keep my head level and not get too excited, as no method is a guarantee… :D
Speaking of sway – I think I have a thrush infection and had to get a pessary and cream (used last night and no difference so far) – I am on CD8 so not testing for O yet, but would like to be back in the game asap as can’t dtd (too uncomfortable for me anyways) atm – any suggestions/remedies that may be blue friendly too?
I am exactly like you, gearing myself up towards a third princess! Having another baby will be amazing no matter what and having a boy would just be delightful.Quote:

LMSM - I have no advice to clear it up but were you planing to start trying this month? Maybe you can get it cleared up in time.
MsMarie - When are you planning to start?
I'm on CD3 and hoping to try this month if my hubby is on board [emoji846] That'd be as early as next Wed that I'd be fertile. I'm really hoping to just use opks as I really don't want to start temping. I guess after a couple months I'll add that if needed though.
If I do conceive I would have only been swaying food wise for 4 weeks though. Started doing weights after my 2nd daughter was born.
Anyone else gearing up this month?

Kat1234: i am trying this month as well. I am using the opk as well...it is very close to my O day so i test 2-3 times a day to make sure that i dont miss the surge. I think i might have stressed out about this so O is delayed. So furstrating. Hopefully positive opk today!
Thanks MsMarie ;)Quote:

I have friends that are still struggling with infertility or have given up altogether – which I find so humbling ..so yes, a boy would be the icing on the cake for sure but I grow wiser with time haha and I don’t think, regardless of the sway that I could be “disappointed” if it didn’t work that way. I probably would still yearn for a son, but that would not make me any less happy to be having a lovely girl (my eldest says she wants two sisters and two brothers – unless #4 becomes a #4 & 5 that’s not happening – hubby is ok for 3, 4 might be pusging it – 5, no way lol).
Re thrush - this is the 1st time I have had this, and timing sucks too :( it’s a tad better but not back to normal – so FX it clears very quickly or I’ll go to the dr’s tomorrow or the day after…
Yep – the plan was to try – but if it doesn’t clear might just skip this month to be on the safe side – sooooo annoying! I am so ready so blah lolQuote:

4 weeks of swaying is ok – I think the optimal time is actually 6 weeks, for blue swaying the best results are seen for a short sway period – not an extended one I believe? So you should be good :) plus you have been changing your condition since DD2 with the weights, so I think you are doing well ^^
Shinay - FX for a nice big surge and a clear positive opk for you soon! ^^ how has your BD pattern been up to now?Quote:
